Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 358 Reinforcements Arrive

"This stalemate is not going to work!"

Facing the oncoming Black Tide Creature, Lin Qiong roared and then slashed forward with all his might.

As the sword slashed down, flames surged forth, burning all the black tide creatures that had approached to the front to ashes, instantly clearing a clearing.

But less than half a second later, the cleared area was filled again by the surging black tide of creations.

Lin Qiong had no choice but to continue wielding his sword to fight, once again burning all the Black Tide creations that had filled the gap.

However, the number of Kuroshio's creations seemed endless, coming in wave after wave.

Even though Lin Qiong eliminated them quickly, their numbers did not decrease; on the contrary, they increased with each battle.

How many exactly?

Now, Lin Qiong and his group can only barely cope with these Black Tide Creatures attacking from all directions by forming a circle back to back.

"These Kuroshio creations are clearly just there to buy time!"

As Lin Qiong hacked down the black tide creations in front of him, he turned his gaze to the distance, where he saw a gigantic figure standing amidst the monstrous tide.

"Otherwise, that big guy would have charged up already."

In the midst of his conversation, Lin Qiong flicked his wrist, cleaving several Black Tide Creatures that pounced in front of him in two.

"It seems to be waiting."

Dan Heng picked up where Lin Qiong left off, thrusting his spear forward like lightning, precisely piercing through several Black Tide Creatures that were about to launch a sneak attack.

Immediately afterwards, he slightly raised his eyes, glanced at the unmoving giant in the distance, and then offered his speculation: "Wait for the Black Tide Creators to exhaust our strength."

"Perhaps, it is the last line of defense protecting the 'Iron Curtain.'"

Himeko chimed in, "Once we break through the encirclement of the Black Tide creations, it will definitely intervene to prevent us from approaching the 'Iron Curtain.'"

"Huh? What should we do then?"

March 7th asked anxiously.

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed, directing several jellyfish-like planktonic creatures to fly into the area where the Kuroshio Creatures were most concentrated, and then they self-destructed!

In an instant, several vacuum zones briefly appeared in the ocean formed by the Kuroshio Creatures, but they were quickly filled by the subsequent surge of creations.

"If we manage to break through, we'll have to face that brainless bastard..."

March 7 muttered to himself as he summoned new planktonic creatures beside him and repeated the same action.

"If we don't break through, we can only watch helplessly as the 'Iron Curtain' rises to the level of the Annihilation Lord."

"What are we going to do?" March 7th frowned and sighed softly. "If only the Galactic Alliance could come to our aid."

"Forget about it, we definitely can't count on any support."

Lin Qiong's voice came from the other side.

"Didn't Lady Black Tower say that before?"

"The other Extinction Lords, along with Nanuk, have already gathered on the outskirts of Onfaros..."

Lin Qiong paused briefly, then, after wielding his sword to destroy the black tide creation in front of him, continued:

"With them around, the Galactic Alliance probably wouldn't dare to make any rash moves, would they?"

The Iron Curtain has been present for so long, yet the allied fleet that came to subdue it has not fired a single shot.

This demonstrates just how powerful the "Destruction" Star God himself, and his messengers, truly are.

"That's true."

March 7th gave a wry smile, simultaneously smashing a Black Tide creation that had slipped in front of her with her umbrella. "Looks like we're the only ones who can stop the 'Iron Curtain'."

"Shall we try to break through?"

Xing asked, somewhat excitedly.

At this moment, she used both hands, a baseball bat in her left hand and a fire spear in her right, smashing all the Black Tide creations that came near her.

From the eager expression on her face, it was clear that she longed for someone to simply say "yes."

Then she would immediately rush out, transforming into a sharp blade that tears through the enemy lines, clearing a path for everyone.

"It's good that young people are energetic, but they should also know how to think things through before they act."

Walter Yang manipulated gravity, and with a slight lift of his right hand, easily crushed all the Black Tide creations in front of him, then spoke:

"The Kuroshio Tide here creates endless things. If we get caught up in a fight, we'll be dragged down sooner or later."

As Walter Yang finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the center of the Black Tide Creation—the location of the headless giant.

"So the most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with that giant while surrounded by the Black Tide Creatures."

"That might be a bit difficult."

Lin Qiong shook his head and said in a somewhat low voice:

"Even when we all attacked together, we couldn't do anything to that guy, let alone fight it while surrounded by countless Black Tide Creatures."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Even Xing, who was originally eager to be the first to break through, slowed down his movements, and the speed at which he defeated the Black Tide Creatures was significantly slower.

"Are we really just going to watch the 'Iron Curtain' become the new Great Lord of Annihilation?" March 7 said angrily, his face full of resentment.

"of course not."

Among the crowd, Xi Lian spoke softly, her tone gentle yet firm.

"The story isn't over yet, so we can't say anything discouraging."

As she spoke, Xi Lian gently raised her hand and pointed to the sky above.

"Look!" she looked up with a smile. "Our reinforcements have arrived."

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a row of dense black dots suddenly appear on the scarlet sky.

As the black dot got closer and closer to Lin Qiong and the others, they were able to vaguely make out its outline.

"Reinforcements?"

Upon hearing Xi Lian's words, Lin Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly, trying hard to see the whole thing clearly.

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"That's... the starship of the immortal vessel!"
