454 The Flaw of the Rune Bomb

Chapter 454: The Flaw of The Rune Bomb

The Black Snake King’s intelligence was extraordinary. It discovered that as long as the Rune Bomb was triggered once, there would be no more danger. That discovery allowed it to find a path to the city wall immediately.

The snake den was still huge, even with the mine zone blocking and killing them massively.

And it was especially creepy to see numerous venomous snakes gathered on a straight road.

!!
It was like a snake path paved by countless venomous snakes. Numerous venomous snakes twisted and wriggled, giving off evil and disgusting feelings.

“As expected, although this forbidden area is very strong, it still has flaws. Although the Rune Bombs were powerful, they could not be moved once they were buried. In such a situation, as long as one can find the right direction and barge in, one can still create a safe path despite some damage. Most importantly, one needs to be unafraid of death.”

The scrawny middle-aged man said with a serious expression.

The method of using one’s flesh and blood to clear a mine zone was equivalent to courting death. As long as one was an intelligent life form, it would be tough to execute that.

It was one’s instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Not many intelligent life forms would go against their instincts and die in vain.

Unfortunately, the snake den couldn’t resist the Black Snake King’s orders. The suppression from their bloodline couldn’t be rejected. Even if they knew they would die, they would still charge forward unhesitantly.

As a result, such a scene was also very shocking!

“Prepare for battle!” The North City’s city guard general shouted and gave the order.

The soldiers were already in their battle positions on the city wall and looking outside with bright eyes. The Purgatory Divine Crossbows were all loaded, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

However, they still did not make a move. They were waiting for an opportunity. Even though the snake den had entered their shooting range, they remained calm and did not panic or worry.

They looked coldly at the snake den that was swarming over. They remained expressionless as they watched the buried Rune Bombs blast the venomous snakes to death.

Not long after, when the snake den was about ten meters away from the city wall, the general suddenly shouted, “Throw!”

As soon as he finished speaking, smaller Rune Bombs suddenly appeared in the soldiers’ hands.

The Rune Bombs obviously could not only be buried underground. They could also be thrown.

How could Li Xiang forget how to use a grenade? When developing the landmine-style Rune Bombs, he had naturally mentioned the construction and idea of grenades.

Therefore, besides the landmine-style bombs buried outside the city, every soldier had three to four mango-sized Rune Bombs.

Just then, an order was given.

The soldiers were immediately seen throwing the Rune Bombs at the snake den below.

The pitch-black Rune Bombs were like meteorites from the sky, enveloping the large snake den.

Boom, boom, boom…

The Rune Bombs landed among the snake den, and the berserk force caused the Rune Bombs to explode on the spot. Ice and flames burst out simultaneously, and the berserk force turned into a destructive impact. The venomous snakes were swept up into the air and torn into pieces.

They were burned into charcoal, turned into ice sculptures, and their flesh and blood splattered like mud.

The explosion killed countless venomous snakes. There were also giant snakes that writhed wildly in flames, letting out shrill cries. They rampaged around, detonating even more Rune Bombs underground. Amidst the violent rumbles, they were completely blown to pieces.

A large region of venomous snakes was blown to death in a flash.

However, the snake den was still fearless. They pounced forward one after another. Each was highly agile and fast, shuttling through the air like lightning. Those in front were blown to death, and the ones behind immediately pounced.

“Keep throwing and blow them up.” The guard general shouted.

The Rune Bombs were thrown down again. The snake den was extremely dense. For the Rune Bombs, that was simply the perfect slaughterhouse. Even if the snakes continued to attack, they were still blown to pieces on the spot. Violent flames and ice roared on the battlefield.

The entire open space outside North City was covered in a thick layer of blood and flesh. The smell of blood had already spread all over the place. One could clearly smell the strong blood scent even standing on the city wall.

Boom, boom, boom…

Suddenly, there was another explosion.

In the other direction, Werewolves carried giant trees and threw them toward the mine zone where the Rune Bombs were buried. The logs rolled on the ground and vibrated, causing the Rune Bombs to explode wildly.

When a log rolled over, no less than two Rune Bombs would be detonated. However, the price to pay was only a piece of wood being blown into pieces.

Although the werewolves belonged to a foreign race, they had inherited the humans’ wisdom. After seeing the Rune Bombs around them, they immediately thought of a way to deal with them. They noticed a major flaw of the Rune Bombs: they were pretty easy to detonate.

With that in mind, they immediately began to cut down the trees into sections. The logs rolled on the ground, constantly detonating the Rune Bombs. The only price they paid was some worthless trees.

Rumble…

In the other direction, the Werewolf King also ordered a group of Werewolves to move piles of rocks and roll them forward. That also caused a series of rumbling sounds, and the ground constantly exploded as ice and fire flashed.

When Li Xiang saw that, he sneered, “What a Werewolf. You are pretty greedy. You actually chose to attack from two directions.”

“That’s not good. It seems like these foreign races aren’t idiots. They’ve already found the fatal flaw in this forbidden area. With this method, they can definitely open a path to the city wall.”

Many citizens’ expressions changed slightly. Although they could still maintain their composure, a trace of worry could be seen in their eyes.

However, Li Xiang, who was in the City of Dawn’s palace, did not change his expression. “When I set up this mine zone, I didn’t intend to use these traps to stop the Foreign Race Army from advancing. No matter what, the Rune Bombs’ weakness is still very obvious: they will explode very easily. This mine zone was originally intended to kill and injure the Foreign Race Army on a large scale when they were caught off guard. The snake den was unlucky and became the vanguards, causing heavy casualties. To a certain extent, my goal has been achieved.”

Li Xiang wasn’t disappointed. Before setting up the mine zone, he had already expected such an outcome. After all, the Rune Bombs produced this time still had major flaws. It was already excellent to be able to achieve what he had today.

“Moreover, my goal is not just to kill or injure the enemy but to limit them to a certain region. As long as they knew about the forbidden area filled with Rune Bombs, they would not dare to attack the city from other unknown areas. They would limit their attack to a certain range. Once their numbers are concentrated, they will become live targets for the defending side.”
