Daqu Wu and other peak experts waved their hands repeatedly, unleashing invisible energy that met the shower of metallic fragments exploding with light.
There was no denying that after mastering the layered bow for some time, Ye Zhongming had made significant progress in this technique. Meanwhile, the energy structure of the magic crystal weapon had further enhanced the power of this skill. Compared to the layered bows Liang Chuyin had used in the novice battlefield, the one in this box had its power increased by at least three times.
This was due to the advancements in Ye Zhongming's skills and techniques, as well as the relatively ample space provided by these metal boxes. However, if it was just that, an increase in power by one time would have been impressive enough. The greater reason lay in the application of magic crystal weapon technology.
Of course, even if the power of the layered bow had tripled, it still posed no threat to the peak experts. The boxes they had previously destroyed had simply evaporated, and now they were helping the other Tarros Red Dwarfs avoid fatal injuries.
These things could still cause some trouble for high-level experts. This time, the five of them had not made a big fuss; they had only brought a single flying device. Yet, the combined number of warriors and technicians aboard exceeded three thousand, all currently within the city and within range of these metal boxes' attacks. Those who had reached the high expert level had little to worry about; even if injured, it wouldn't be fatal. However, most of the others had not reached this threshold, and facing these things, a moment of carelessness could cost them their lives.
Yet, the five peak experts had been somewhat careless. After emerging, they had remained floating in the air, and their first action had been to destroy the surrounding metal boxes, which resulted in them being somewhat distant from their clansmen on the ground.
Moreover, the number of metal boxes was overwhelming; the fragments they unleashed had nearly covered the entire area. So even if they did strike, their clansmen were still submerged in the onslaught.
Peak experts were indeed powerful, but they were not invincible. Faced with an attack of such extreme power, they had no way to counter it. Take the slave clan, for example. Why were they so formidable? It was merely because of their robust bodies, quick speed, and ample strength. Many life forms in this universe possessed these traits, but the slave clan had taken them to the extreme. So, it's not just peak experts; even Ye Zhongming, who had once witnessed a top expert in that dreamlike scenario, could only barely match the slave clan. Other life forms stood no chance.
This does not mean that the layered bow had reached its utmost speed, but rather that just moments ago, they had not given these peak experts another chance to strike and destroy.
The attack came swiftly and departed just as quickly. The fragments of the layered bow had wreaked havoc and completed their mission, either embedding into walls or piercing through bodies.
The expressions of the five peak experts turned extremely grim.
They had indeed been a little careless, but it could hardly be considered a mistake; it was just that... they hadn't expected the attack to come so quickly and ferociously.
Everywhere they looked, there were the shredded bodies of their clansmen. Over three thousand people, and suddenly over two thousand lay down!
While half of them were technicians and drivers, there were still hundreds of elite warriors among them! These were individuals who could follow peak experts; they were veterans and trusted aides with considerable strength.
Now, besides the high experts, nearly everyone else was lost.
Even the remaining dozen or so high experts bore injuries, with the most severely injured one having lost a hand!
If the previous metallic claws were a provocation and a response, then these latest attacks were a slap in the face, loud and clear, to every dwarf peak expert.
