Chapter 1267 - 1267 80 I Said I Knew in My Last Life Would

Chapter 1267: Chapter 80: I Said I Knew in My Last Life, Would You Believe It?_3 Chapter 1267: Chapter 80: I Said I Knew in My Last Life, Would You Believe It?_3 Because it was the elders of their own two clans that had met with disaster.

Yet, those culprits were already dead, leaving no target for one’s anger.

Peng Wanli, with a countenance reminiscent of olden times, coughed before saying with furrowed brows, “Indeed, it should not have happened… All this time, it was merely the Abyssal monsters erupting. Not a single Abyssal master was seen. Everyone, though constantly in battle, could catch their breath and recover due to the suitable wave tactics. And perhaps because of this, some of the higher-ranked demons started letting their guard down. Then came the sudden attack, which caused the situation to spiral out of control.”

“The current situation is essentially as I’ve described. At that time, it was my turn to take a break. I had just had a cup of tea and was eating a few healing pills. No, I hadn’t even swallowed the pills when I heard an explosion above, the ground shaking and the air howling… By the time I went out to join the fight, the Abyssal clan had already broken through.”

“I rushed forward to intercept them, but the Abyssal clan had already begun to spread out, and they were unstoppable. The twelve elders who were originally guarding the pass had all died in the line of duty.”

“Fortunately, the Cat Emperor had a contingency plan for such a breakdown of the defenses. After I held on for a moment, other demons swiftly arrived to construct a new line of defense, and then we all did our utmost to push the Abyssal clan back. But once the enemy had emerged and gained a foothold, how could they retreat? If not for that critical moment when more than thirty experts from the Cat and Fox Clans sacrificed themselves in a spectacular self-detonation, breaking through the enemy’s line, we wouldn’t have reached the stage where everyone fought desperately. Some went to secure the breach, while others focused on slaughtering the Abyssal clan members who had broken through.”

“The whole process… Only by trading injury for injury, life for life in extreme combat, were we able to hold back the assault of the Abyssal monsters!”

“Even after we had barely managed to push the Abyssal clan back to the point of eruption, we had no strength left to suppress their surging reinforcements!”

“I took hundreds of attacks before I killed all the devils outside the breach.”

“After such extremes, it’s not just the vitality that’s greatly damaged, almost everyone was wounded.”

Peng Wanli truly wanted to curse. It was such an undeserved disaster.

They had been holding their position well, but then those few allowed complacency at the most crucial moment, causing their own deaths!

No wonder Doctor Feng was puzzled.

Put in his place, he too, would be baffled!

Having heard this, Feng Yin understood, yet was speechless with disbelief.

This was about suppressing the Abyss!

And yet, in a situation where the Abyss had already started to stir, to become complacent, and then complacent to the point of losing one’s own life…

This was simply a nightmare, wasn’t it?

“That’s not right; there were a total of twelve defenders at the outpost. Even if one or two became complacent, it’s not possible for all twelve positions to have done so at the same time, is it?”

Feng Yin said with a frown, “There must be other reasons behind this.”

“Perhaps.”

Peng Wanli really didn’t want to talk about this anymore. Because of such an accident, the forces that had been strong before were now all critically injured, their combat power greatly depleted. Who could be reasoned with?

“Is it going to continue like this?”

“Not exactly. After that, it became a constant charge of monsters. But every few waves, a few powerful experts would rush up and cause casualties. It’s because of these uncertain factors that our side has not dared to rest until now.”

“It’s only been a few days since the outbreak and due to the exhaustion from continuous fighting; we’ve already lost over three hundred experts from the demon clans who were at King Rank or higher to the enemy’s onslaught.”

Peng Wanli said, “The Cat Emperor, seeing the dire situation, had no choice but to send out a call for help. Based on our estimates… if this continues, we can hold out for at most another three to seven days before we can no longer suppress the surge of Abyssal monsters. The casualties among our demon experts are too severe.”

“And I alone, despite still being able to hold on, can’t possibly block the entire Abyss with the strength of one demon! Sooner or later, I’d meet my end exhausted.”

Peng Wanli said, “Thank goodness you’ve arrived in time.”

Feng Yin let out a sigh, then took out several bottles of medicine, “Everyone take a pill first, to heal and recover your energy. Elder Peng, this is yours.”

The Cat Emperor didn’t hesitate, swallowed the medicine directly, and then administered another to her husband, Hu Qianyang, who was so severely injured that he could hardly stand once the fighting stopped.

The Cat Emperor made use of the miraculous effects of the medicine to recover a bit, before saying, “This onslaught is highly unusual. For such an assault rhythm, the Abyss must have initiated a nest-wide charge to cause such an impact. Otherwise, how could there be so many monsters, wave after wave of their onslaught? I’ve killed billions, yet they keep coming, endlessly. I cannot imagine just how many of these creatures are down there!”

“How can there be so many!”

The Fox Emperor wore a grim expression.

In these few days, both the Cat and Fox Clans had suffered grievous losses, but due to the focus on battling the enemy, a detailed tally of the casualties hadn’t been compiled until now. The high-ranking elite, nearly forty percent, had perished here.

The cruelty of battle was unimaginable.

It brought tears of heartache.

The loss plagued the heart of the Cat Emperor more than the Fox Emperor—as the main force was from the Cat Clan, their sacrifices were naturally greater.

Furthermore, there was another headache-inducing issue that the Cat Emperor found difficult to address.

That was, the expert teams sent by the Wolf and Leopard Clans to aid in the battle had been wiped out entirely in the bloody melee of the past few days.

The Cat Emperor truly didn’t know how to report this matter.
