Chapter 778: Ruthless Cannon Fire! (Bonus Chapter)
Before they even started hitting, Fito was already screaming!
But that didn't earn him any sympathy from Ling Feng or Wang Ba. On the eighth layer, when they were fighting, he hadn't held back at all!
Wang Ba pulled out a Spirit Bead and placed it into the leather pouch, stretching the small rubber band out long!
He cackled: "Scream! The louder you scream, the more excited I get! Woohaha!"
As he spoke, the Spirit Bead in the pouch emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and with a "whoosh", it smashed straight towards the middle of Fito's body.
And it wasn't just Wang Ba taking action. Over forty small slingshots were pulled back and firing!
Streaks of spiritual light arced across the sky in stunning trajectories, like ten thousand swords returning to their master, all converging on Fito like fledgling birds returning to their nest.

It was truly a full-coverage, no-blind-spots bombardment!
"Why are you aiming only at me? Don't you see all my teammates?"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"Who told you to go and reach Starlight rank for no reason?"
You're the strongest within three thousand meters. If not you, then who?
As he spoke, he tossed over a dozen Dance Grenades to maintain control!
Fito was furious. Did I make a mistake by reaching Starlight?
At this moment, Fito was still stuck in the "duck, card, peel" dance moves, unable to escape!
He couldn't make any evasive maneuvers. All he could do was watch helplessly as over forty spiritual light beams wildly struck him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions rang out. The fierce impact force made Fito's bone armor shudder, and the cracks on it continued to widen!
He endured over forty Spirit Bead explosions without his armor shattering.
Fito's expression twisted as he laughed loudly: "You think I got my Starlight rank for nothing?"
"I knew you bastards were up to no good, so I specially reinforced the defenses there!"
Starlight-rank bone armor defense was indeed freakish. After being roasted by high-temperature flames and bombarded by consecutive Spirit Bead explosions, it only cracked.
But Wang Ba and the others were getting anxious. They just couldn't accept this!
Ling Feng, who only had one arm left, even took off his shoe, grabbed the slingshot with his foot, and used his hand to pull the rubber band to shoot!
They were really going all out.
Just then!
Little Niu Pi: ₍｡•ɷ•｡₎ "Squeak squeak!"
(Here it comes! Here it comes!)
Jiangnan: (๐•̀ٹ•́)و "It's here?"
"Up to no good? You'll find out what 'no good' really means soon enough!"
What was coming? The Spirit-Binding Steel Cannons, of course!
In an instant, pieces of red-hot Spirit-Binding Steel were blasted out of the cannon muzzles at the terrifying speed of three times the speed of sound!
They filled the sky as they smashed towards Fito.
(˃᷄ɷ˂᷅๑)❐⁼³₌₃❏⁼³₌₃❐⁼³₌₃❏
Fito's eyes bulged!
What the hell is this?
You guys breathing fire was bad enough, but now you're firing cannonballs too?
"Boom!"
A piece of Spirit-Binding Steel slammed into Fito's cheek at extreme speed. The bone armor shattered, sending fragments flying.
⁼³₌₃❐(#)༎ຶ3༎ຶ) "Ptuagh~"
The immense impact force even flattened the steel block into a pancake!
If it were just one or two pieces, it might have been bearable. But this was thirty thousand Spirit-Binding Steel Cannons firing all at once!
Countless cannonballs hammered into Fito's bone armor.
His full-body bone armor finally couldn't withstand such a saturation bombardment and was blasted to pieces!
Ling Feng and the others fired a volley, and spiritual light exploded continuously!
Fito: ∑(||´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`) "Aaooow~"
[Fito's resentment value +1001!]
[Fito's...]
After a series of agonized howls from Fito,
He was completely wrecked!
It was a miserable sight. Even the girls covered their faces.
(づꇴ❛ัど) "Ah~ so cruel!"
Qin Shou shuddered. Then why do I feel like you're enjoying this so much?
Especially Xia Yao. She was the most enthusiastic.
As she fired, she kept muttering.
(๐•̀◠•́)つY─═≡❂
"You hit Little Nan? Hmph! Take that!"
At this point, Fito's entire body had swollen up. He was black and blue all over.
In the air, he was continuously pelted by countless Spirit-Binding Steel cannonballs. Without his bone armor for protection, he had to endure the hits with his bare body, getting knocked around in the sky.
Tears and snot streaked his face.
(‧̣̥̇꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Stop hitting! There's nothing left, and you're still firing! Aaah~"
"Duck got mud on it, howl howl~"
But no one stopped. The encirclement had already turned into a hell of molten lava.
Even if the American explorers survived the fire, they were shattered by the Spirit-Binding Steel cannonballs.
Fito, coughing up blood profusely, finally neared the eighth layer's spatial gate!
These few hundred meters had cost him half his life!
Using the last of his strength, Fito struggled to crawl into the spatial gate just before the Dance Grenade's effect wore off.
Jiangnan curled his lips: "He got away? What a pity!"
The area was shrouded in a Spirit-Binding force field. Fito's bone armor was shattered and couldn't regenerate.
If it weren't for the fact that the Mad Oxen's Spirit-Binding Steel cannons were too fierce, and he didn't want to rush in and get caught in the crossfire,
he would have definitely taken the chance to finish Fito off!
But killing a Starlight wasn't that easy. Fito still managed to escape back.
Wang Ba was ecstatic: "This is more than enough! Apart from the dozen or so who escaped, almost all of America's explorers are wiped out here!"
Ling Feng laughed heartily: "That was a satisfying fight!"
Jiangnan grinned: "It's not over yet. Little Niu Pi! Tell the brothers to aim the cannons at the spatial gate!"
"Let's dump all this energy first!"
The Bull Leader didn't hesitate and immediately ordered the minions to reposition the cannons.
...
At the eighth layer's spatial gate,
A dozen American explorers knelt on the ground, vomiting blood!
These were the ones who managed to run back before the fire started, while their legs still worked.
Among them was Ivy, who had been doing the frog dance. Three big jumps, and she was back!
Thinking about the scene behind the spatial gate, she couldn't help but shudder.
That was way too ruthless!
She wondered how Fito was doing.
Just then, a black, unrecognizable fat man stumbled out of the spatial gate!
He vomited blood heavily, his body covered in burns.
(#)༎ຶཀ༎ຶ(#) "Damn you, Jiangnan! Just you wait!"
The explorers' eyes widened in horror: "Boss Fito? Is that you? How did you end up like this?"
He was a Starlight!
He'd been beaten out of shape? Was it really that brutal?
Fito glared: "What are you staring at? Where's the fatty? Why isn't he coming to heal me?"
Ivy: (٥･᷄⌂･᷅) "Ah, you mean Skinny? He didn't come back. Wasn't he with you?"
Fito's body stiffened!
Then there was no point in going back! Other than himself, no one was alive over there!
"What about a recovery-type? There must be a recovery-type, right?"
A long-haired man shrugged: "The No-Spirit Zone was destroyed by Jiangnan. We can't use our abilities!"
[Fito's resentment value +1000!]
He shouldn't have gone down there!
If he'd just stayed and blocked the gate, none of this would have happened!
The bird was gone!
Damn it all!
"Then come and help me! If there's no No-Spirit Zone, let's go to the seventh layer to recover!"
Three or four people stepped forward to help Fito.
But at that moment, the spatial gate rippled violently, and a pillar of fire several kilometers long shot out!
Mixed in were Spirit-Binding Steel cannonballs!
The explorers who had just stepped forward to help Fito didn't even have time to react before they were blown to pieces!
Fito himself was blasted over a thousand meters away, spitting blood nonstop!
In the blink of an eye, the American team, counting Fito, was down to just ten people!
Fito climbed to his feet, staring at the spatial gate that wouldn't stop spewing fire, almost bursting with rage!
"Aaah~ Damn it! Just you wait! Let's go! To the seventh layer to heal!"
Ivy: ╮(•︠ˍ•︡)╭
"Maybe don't bother? The only two recovery-types we had just died too!"
"Your injuries aren't fatal. With your Starlight-level recovery, you can slowly heal, right?"
Fito: Σ(٥Ŏ3Ŏ) "Ptuagh~"
All the recovery-types are dead?
Could our luck be any worse?
The injuries weren't serious; he could recover.
But even Starlight-level recovery couldn't regenerate lost limbs!
[Fito's resentment value +1001!]
[Fito's...]
...
Watching the constantly refreshing resentment value list, Jiangnan was overjoyed!
The Mad Oxen were still pouring their remaining energy into the spatial gate.
Ling Feng excitedly said, "How about it? Want to push forward with one go?"
"With both cores in hand, as long as we take care of Fito, the roadblock, everything will be fine!"
Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "Starlight-rank Fito isn't that easy to deal with!"
"This time, we relied on the Mad Oxen's strength. Having suffered this loss, Fito won't come down easily! He'll definitely guard the eighth layer tightly!"
Xiao Zhen said, "Then let's bring the Mad Oxen up! That way..."
Wang Ba shook his head: "Can't do that. The spatial gate is only this big. Thirty thousand Mad Oxen have to go through one by one!"
"Fito is blocking the entrance. He'll kill any that come through!"
Jiangnan was about to speak when he felt the spatial gate tremble violently!
It seemed the Mad Oxen's intense output was affecting the spatial gate, causing spatial vibrations!
An extremely strong spatial fluctuation swept over, making Jiangnan's scalp tingle!
Could the ninth layer actually collapse from the Mad Oxen's bombardment?
