Chapter 617: Kamikaze Beasts

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Five minutes after Ran Xiyu’s warning, several dark spots appeared northwest in the sky.

It flabbergasted Jiang Liushi as it was not what he expected, huge beasts that is. If not for their resounding roars, Jiang Liushi would think that those spots were airplanes. Gradually, the dark spots got closer and Jiang Liushi was finally able to see them clearly; they were huge beasts with two giant wings.

The flapping of their wings generated whistling sounds in the air like the sharp static from a radio, but its decibels were extremely high.

“They are… bats!” said Ran Xiyu suddenly.

Jiang Liushi shared the same thoughts, but it was quite hard to believe that those monsters in the sky were really bats. Their wings were at least 10 meters long! If they were to descend, one wing would be enough to overshadow and cover a small car completely. Compared to their wings, the bats’ bodies were relatively small, but they still resembled that of adult tigers!

In Jiang Liushi’s mind, those were not bats but winged-tigers. Thus, he couldn’t help but associate them with the extinct overlord of the sky–the Quetzalcoatlus. It was the largest flying beast ever discovered by humans. It was also said that their wingspans were of more than ten meters. Although the Quetzalcoatlus’ neck might be longer, it was much lighter than the beasts flying toward Jiang Liushi’s team. It was hard to imagine it was possible for them to even fly in the sky!

“What’s that?” asked Jiang Cheng in horror.

‘How can such beasts exist in Japan!?’

Jiang Cheng had experienced so much in a single day that he had to reconsider everything he knew. He, as well as most of the spectators suddenly felt like tiny ants in the vast world. It was their first time seeing such peculiar beasts. In their minds, those monsters could easily lift an adult, fierce lion.

Only Xia Mei’s brother became excited upon seeing the huge beasts.

“Kamikaze Beasts! Kamikaze Beasts! Beat witness to their might!” Xia Mei’s speech was incoherent and confusing.

Jiang Liushi was caught off guard, not expecting for Xia Mei’s brother to recognize the peculiar beasts. It had to be known that Kamikaze meant Divine Wind, and the Japanese treated it as a sacred entity. Back when the Mongols had been sweeping Eurasia, both times that the Mongol fleets had tried to attack Japan they had been deterred by raging typhoons. Their timing, as well as their force, were the primary factors that made them known as Divine Winds. In the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of World War II, the Japanese established Kamikaze, which was a part of the Japanese Special Attack Units.

The words and actions of Xia Mei’s brother showed that the Japanese treated those bats as deities. It also showed Genesis’ status in Japan. Although Genesis’ influence in China was limited, for now, it was the exact opposite for Japan. Even a beast controlled by one of Genesis’ Advocates was actually revered as a deity.

“Kamikaze Beasts! They came here to save us!” shouted another member of the Sword Club.

Initially, all the Sword Club’s members were utterly scared of Jiang Liushi, but now that the Kamikaze Beasts appeared the spark of hope was reignited. Hence, they held on their weapons tightly and started fighting back again.

“F*ck! It’s time for you to wake up! Wen Tian, shoot them down!” ordered Yuan Fei.

Wen Tian was the woman dressed in military attire. Complying with Yuan Fei’s order, she swiftly grabbed for the sniper rifle strapped on her back. Surprisingly, it was a Barrett, an anti-materiel sniper rifle used by the military of the United States, after passing the test of the Gulf War. Needless to say, its power was extremely high and its reputation outmatched the AMR-2.

Seeing a woman carrying it was a strange sight as even Special Forces soldiers had to be in a prone position in order to shoot. However, Wen Tian not only could hold it in her hands while standing, but she was also using armor-piercing projectiles as bullets. That kind of bullet could penetrate a 35mm steel plate within a distance of 500 meters. Its destructive ability was simply amazing!

In the blink of an eye, Wen Tian had finished assembling and loading the weapon, as well as aiming at her target. In the next instant, a loud sound came from the weapon and a bullet traversed a straight trajectory in the air, hitting a bat’s head directly! Unfortunately, Wen Tian didn’t have any chance to feel happy; instead, her expression stiffened.

Wen Tian was at a loss as the bullet had momentarily stunned the beast before it continued flying!

‘How can this be possible?’ Wen Tian felt it was strange and impossible. Her special ability was related to shooting, so she firmly believed her shot would have been successful. It was possible she’d be unable to kill the heavy-armored pangolin, but the bats were different as they had no layer of protection.

Suddenly, Yuan Fei shouted, “Be careful!” Then, he jumped toward her and pulled her aside. Meanwhile, the spot where she was earlier standing burst open!

Upon realizing what happened, a cold sweat covered Wen Tian’s back. The stone plate where she had been standing had turned into a powder that was dancing violently in the air.

“Wh- What was that attack?”

“It’s ultrasound!” speculated Yuan Fei.

A powerful enough ultrasound could shatter any object, and it was named ultrasonication. In medicine, ultrasound was used to shatter the stone in a person’s body, but it was a process that needed a lot of time. However, right before the eyes, the stone plate had been turned to powder in just a second!
