Chapter 1117 - Destruction Of The Air Strip

There was no impact on the progression of the Southern Ooofpa Loopa when its Northern counterpart fell in battle. Without any continuous artillery to hold it back, the Southern Ooofpa Loopa continued to approach Demopolis through the seas slowly.

The Bone Spirit Sea Demons started to seep through the defences of the Suburban area since there were as many leaks to its defences as the number of offensive opportunities to attack them. Urban warfare was not as easy as the Pandarens had initially thought it to be.

Because of the strength of the monsters, the ability to defeat multiple Pandarens with just one swipe of their tentacle arms, the Bone Spirit Sea Demons were actually overpowering the Pandarens in the fight. Their makeshift barricades were not doing much in the way of stopping the rampaging Horde, rather it provided only a moment of respite for the Pandarens to regroup until they could no longer hold the place.

Most, if not all of the Pandawans that were present in the raid dungeon had already stationed in the area to assist with the fight but since they were mere mid grade cultivators, there was only so much they could do.

However, the Northern Ooofpa Loopa's announced defeat was music to their ears, a message to boost the down-stricken morale of the current band of Pandarens to keep on fighting. Yet, there were still two issues to contend with.

The first issue was the Southern Ooofpa Loopa coming forth inland. As much as they disliked it, the Pandawans believed it was a good opportunity to fight the giant abomination without worrying too much about the terrain.

Thus, they had decided to take all possible cause of action to keep the Bone Spirit Sea Demons at bay until the Southern Ooofpa Loopa entered the Suburban area so they could use the explosives they had prepared to drop some high rise buildings on the fellow.

The other issue was that the b.u.t.t of the third Ooofpa Loopa. The emergence of its posterior caused several severe logistical problems though the Pandawans' only major concern was the runway strip that allowed their steady reinforcements to come in. Those Pandarens who were killed were forcefully teleported back to the Shop Instance as usual and if they wished to enter again, they needed to buy the ticket and wait for their turn on the plane.

While Jin and the System had previously contemplated creating a premium ticket to allow people to skip the queue for a price, they believed it was unfair for the common folk who wanted to try their hands on the raid instance. There was no issue transporting the entire bunch of Pandarens into the raid instance but overcrowding would cause the blind to lead the blind. Also, this would create an artificial sense of demand and supply to the entire customer base, making them worry they would miss out on the raid points.

That was why there were all these fanciful buffers of entry to prevent the Pandarens from spamming and rushing the raid instance. Unlike the past where they needed every single cultivator available for their raid instance, Dungeons and Pandas had seen its customer base to be growing at a rather terrifying pace. So, with the increasing popularity of the Dungeon Supplier store, limiting them was the only choice as much as they wanted to get more money from the cultivators.

Still, they did not think it was a bad idea to implement the premium ticket as part of the raid points system. Upon reaching a certain amount of raid points, the Pandamonium App would give the Pandarens a free premium ticket to jump the queue as well as enter into the fray by teleporting into the safest zone of the raid instance.

Thus, to some Pandarens, it did not really matter if the runway strip was destroyed. But in the grand scheme of things, the Pandawans believed that they needed to protect it as much as possible to prevent the loss of reinforcements. However, some Pandarens believed that Jin would not be so stupid to cut off the reinforcements entirely, and rather slow it down even further so that the Pandarens in the raid instance would be of a sufficient number.

This inadvertently allowed the Bone Spirit Demons to destroy the runway landing strip and even damage the plane's wings upon landing. In turn, this forced the NPC Panda pilot to make a crash landing on the runway strip rendering it to be useless. Thankfully, all of the cultivators within the plane had survived the experience and they proceeded outside with the help of the existing Pandarens who had been fighting the Demons.

The overall in charge of the Pandawans, Xiong Da was informed of this particular change in development and he felt perplexed how the subsequent reinforcements were supposed to enter. Until a beep sound emerged from his phone and there was an announcement that the reinforcements would be arriving from the extreme North of Demopolis, beyond its walls since it was now clear from any large threats.

"So…the new batch of cultivators will need much more time to come in to assist with the war effort." Xiong Da scratched his head as he managed to pulverise a falling Bone Spirit Demon before checking on his phone.

"Hey yo!!!!" Luo Bo shouted as she carried two tanks in working condition with Mechataur's palms for a quicker transport to the South.

"We finally get to see the saviour of this raid instance, huh? Now I understand why you messaged us saying you found a special weapon and wanted to keep it a secret until you arrived!" Xiong Da said, which caused Luo Bo to giggle.

Bu Dong who finally saw the special weapon in his two eyes, he was shouting in the Pandawan's channel. "Can I ride it? Can I ride it?!" Deng Long who saw it also raised his voice and wanted to pilot it too.

"Nahh! Not a chance!" Luo Bo replied as she slowly placed the tanks Mechataur had been holding onto the ground.

"Pleeeeaaaasssse!!! I know how to operate it too! I saw its model in the Supa Robot Wars instance but I am still trying to progress to obtain it." Bu Dong pleaded in the channel.

"Babe, let them have it. They probably know how to use this better than us." Shi Zuo remarked as he was already weary from the constant surveillance of the Supa Robot's system parameters.

"Alright, since I had my fun bashing the first boss, I'll let you have it." Luo Bo was surprisingly amicable instead of her usual stubbornness. The Rabbit Cultivator could already hear the weariness in Shi Zuo's voice and she didn't want to strain her boyfriend even more.

Bu Dong and Deng Long shouted in joy as they both looked forward to their chance to shine!
