Chapter 360: Food!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As w.a.n.g Baole controlled the Eternal Fortress, there were several extremely tall giants outside the stronghold resisting the Baole Cannons that were firing in unison. They roared as they approached swiftly. They were huge, and their stride was shocking. Within the time of a few breaths, they were already less than a thousand feet from w.a.n.g Baole!
However, a price was paid. One giant’s body burst apart due to the continuous firing of the Baole Cannons. Despite that, the Beast Tide was still brought near. Looking from afar, Li Yi and Kong Dao were struggling hard to resist, and as for w.a.n.g Baole’s stronghold, it seemed as if the current-like Beast Tide was about to submerge their bases at any moment…
At that instant, when the Beast Tide neared, the ground outside the Eternal Fortress shook, and a golden wall was erected!
That wall was part of the Eternal Fortress. When it appeared, it blocked the advance of the Beast Tide. Leveraging on the time obtained, the Baole Cannons continued firing in unison, causing significant damage to the Beast Tide.
However, it seemed that the golden wall was still insufficient, as it broke apart after blocking the beasts for a few moments. As the Beast Tide neared once again, which was the instant the stronghold wall broke apart, the broken wall suddenly shrunk, and the second wall was erected, continuing in the blockade.
Just like that, the stronghold wall seemed to rise and fall continuously without limits. It cycled between shrinking and erecting, and that directly delayed and blocked the frightening Beast Tide out. Coupled with the firing of Baole Cannons, the number of casualties in the Beast Tide increased endlessly!
It worked based on the same principle as the Baole Cannons were repaired and reconstructed. That was also the essence of w.a.n.g Baole’s Eternal Fortress!
At the same time, it was the most challenging problem he had to overcome during the lengthy planning process!
That was to say that the ability to self-repair, rather than requiring a thousand puppets to take part in the repair and construction process, required turning the Eternal Fortress itself into a gigantic construction puppet instead!
The Martian Colony Governor smiled and nodded approvingly as she watched on. The curiosity in her eyes also grew stronger.
“Eternal Fortress!” As she muttered softly, the live stream viewers from the Federation were long frozen in surprise due to the seemingly endless transformations of the Eternal Fortress…
w.a.n.g Baole was extremely agitated as well as he watched his Eternal Fortress blocking the Beast Tide. In his exhilaration, he immediately activated his hand seals, and instantly, the book pages behind him flipped at an even faster rate. Every time a page was flipped, a force erupted. They weren’t all from the Baole Cannons, as there were other Dharmic Artifacts like the Fire G.o.d Cannon which he dismantled from others. They may be torn and tattered, but it mattered little to w.a.n.g Baole now. They were activated at full force, and instantly, the loud boom that resulted shook Mars as it reverberated in between heaven and earth!
w.a.n.g Baole forcefully resisted the sixth and seventh Beast Tide, and that was the same for Kong Dao and Li Yi. Even though the two of them were well equipped with resources, it was still a challenging battle. After all, the number of beasts that would appear with each Beast Tide wouldn’t lessen with fewer candidates as the elimination process continued.
In reality, the further the battle went, the more challenging it became. What w.a.n.g Baole and the two of them had to confront was the pressure from the Beast Tide that was to be shared by ten candidates.
Therefore, even though their respective strongholds had been completed, they could only barely save themselves and try to drag the time. They all understood that there wasn’t an obligation to eliminate the Beast Tides. Rather, their goal was to resist for a longer time than the other candidates, until the other two candidates were eliminated. The one that remained would naturally be the winner!
The idea was good, and the strategy was succeeding. However, in this intense battleground, no one noticed that, beside the Divine Armament Catacombs, a little boy had appeared silently, for an unknown period of time.
The little boy had all his limbs, but his body was like an illusion, invisible to everyone. The live stream viewers from the Federation and the Federation elites hadn’t noticed the existence of the little boy.
He was standing there, looking extremely solemn as a strong death vibe emanated from his body. His gaze was cold and ruthless, as he first looked at Li Yi, sweeping his gaze on Li Yi’s array formation stronghold, before looking at Kong Dao, and finally at w.a.n.g Baole.
However, when he looked at w.a.n.g Baole, it sensed the donkey that was hiding in the stronghold. The originally expressionless little boy moved and seemed to be gritting his teeth. After pondering about it, he seemed to be a.n.a.lyzing the situation, before sighing under his breath and charging towards Kong Dao.
As he charged towards Kong Dao, he didn’t realize that the donkey, who was originally gnawing on a chicken bone happily in the Eternal Fortress, had suddenly raised its head. Its ears perked upright, and it widened its eyes, looking in the direction of Kong Dao’s stronghold. The bone in its mouth fell to the floor, along with its unstoppable flow of saliva.
The donkey even disregarded the chicken bone, which it loved and couldn’t bear to eat. A green glow shone from its eyes, as if it was extremely excited and agitated. However, it was afraid of frightening the delicious food away like it did last time. Therefore, after thinking about it, the scent of its body gradually disappeared. Like a chameleon, it blended into its surroundings, before moving slowly, leaving the Eternal Fortress and going into hiding.
Right now, the little boy was moving at an extremely fast speed, disregarding the Beast Tide as well as Kong Dao’s stronghold as he burrowed into it without hesitation. When he saw cultivators, he pa.s.sed through them immediately. In that instant, the cultivators he pa.s.sed through trembled before collapsing.
He was smart and didn’t ma.s.sacre everyone without thought. Rather, he stood at a crucial position and carried out his killings in the stronghold, and that made him more dangerous. Very soon, the people from the Federation watched as Kong Dao’s stronghold, which was originally in the process of resistance, gradually seem to fail, its protective s.h.i.+eld breaking apart.
Kong Dao was shocked as he hurriedly inspected the situation. He looked awful, having heard the news that there were many of his cultivators standing on guard at crucial locations dying off mysteriously.
That was especially so the moment he neared and saw a corpse with his own eyes. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He understood that amongst the Beast Tide, there were a few frightening, spirit-like existences.
Of the people that died, there were two who had similar cultivation levels as Kong Dao. However, in reality, they were the backups sent by Duan Muque, and they both had combat capabilities that didn’t fall far behind that of Kong Dao’s. Most importantly, the two of them had trump cards that, once used, would delay time, with the trade-off being one’s life.
However, neither of them had the chance to use the trump card before they suddenly died. Furthermore, it seemed like both of them had been killed by a single attack, and that made Kong Dao worried. The stronghold was destroyed at this crucial juncture and not during other less important situations. It was a critical moment in the resistance of the Beast Tide, and as a result of this, Kong Dao’s stronghold broke apart.
Kong Dao, who looked miserable knowing that he had lost his chance of winning, was indignant but also helpless at reversing the situation. On the other hand, he had a strong sense that something sinister would happen. Instinctively, he told himself that if he continued to stay, he wouldn’t be able to avoid the crisis!
Therefore, just as the sense of danger grew stronger, he broke the jade slip without hesitation and was instantly teleported away. The moment he left, the little boy neared at a fast speed, pa.s.sing directly through Kong Dao’s blurry figure, but he still ended up empty-handed.
Seeing that someone had escaped, the little boy seemed troubled. Looking at the broken stronghold and the Beast Tide roaring in all directions, he tilted his head and gazed at Li Yi, who was still persevering, before glancing at w.a.n.g Baole. He was just about to go towards Li Yi when he stopped in his tracks, looking at w.a.n.g Baole once again.
In his eyes, w.a.n.g Baole was now standing on the stronghold wall, continuously activating his hand seals and controlling the stronghold to attack the Beast Tide. The other creature whom he hated, and who was standing nearby, had suddenly disappeared.
After the little boy thought about it, a fierce look appeared in his eyes as he felt that the grudges between him and the beasts were too deep, and he didn’t want to face it at the moment. He planned to kill the fatty first, as interest.
With that thought, the little boy looked even more ruthless, and he changed his direction away from Li Yi and towards w.a.n.g Baole at high speed. He pa.s.sed by numerous ferocious beasts on the battleground and neared w.a.n.g Baole.
Right now, w.a.n.g Baole was taken aback as he watched Kong Dao’s stronghold being destroyed, and noticed his departure. That made him bewildered, as according to his previous judgment, even though it was challenging for him to resist the Beast Tide even with ample resources, he wouldn’t cave in so quickly.
This Kong Dao… What happened… As w.a.n.g Baole grew alert, he turned to look at the Eternal Fortress that was still launching attacks, thinking about whether to activate his trump card. Only the initial stages of the Eternal Fortress’ construction were completed, and the usage of the trump card would affect the construction process, but if it was a crucial juncture, he couldn’t care too much and could only activate it.
Just as w.a.n.g Baole came to a decision while being alert, the fire in his body uncontrollably shook. w.a.n.g Baole was shocked, as, on his right, the little boy’s figure neared at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, and was about to pa.s.s through him…
However, there was another figure charging towards the little boy at an even faster speed. It seemed to have laid low for a long time, and at that instant, carrying its exhilaration and mania, it erupted out excitedly!
“Son!”
