Chapter 319: Sleepless Night
That weird mummy-like creature was Wei Huo’s new ability. He could now hide the aura of nirvanic extermination in other living creatures and turn them into nirvanic creatures. Plants were nothing, but living creatures would become undead creatures like mummies. Their combat power was very strong, and they would attack all living creatures they encountered fearlessly.
Of course, this creature was under Wei Huo’s control.
However, calling it a nirvanic creature was not right either, as Wei Huo had gradually comprehended the Rules of Death. Otherwise, he could not have created such a creature.
Wei Huo’s strength had improved after the battle with the five deities in the Western Continent. During his years in the submarine, Wei Huo had been using the Dao Scripture. In combination with 81 years of acc.u.mulation, Wei Huo’s strength had finally reached the late stage of the Legendary stage.
What was even more terrifying than the other late-stage Legendary creatures was that Wei Huo had already begun comprehending the Rules of Death. This mummy-like creature was his masterpiece.
On the other hand, those pitch-black plants were extremely dangerous. If other objects touched or ate these plants, they would be infected by death and turn into pitch-black undead creatures. They would lose their minds and attack living creatures everywhere. Any living creature that was attacked by them would also be turned into an undead creature.
It sounded just like the zombie virus outbreak in ‘Resident Evil’, but the combat power of zombies was far inferior to this kind of mummy-like undead creature.
One could say that Wei Huo’s existence had increased the difficulty of the Battle Royale. Now, the Atlanteans were no longer fighting, but fleeing. As long as they could survive to the very end, they would win.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a terrifying bullet shot out and took the life of an Atlantean.
They could not escape anymore. Thanks to Wei Huo’s spiritual power scan and the long-range attack of the huge gun, they would die as long as they entered that range.
Besides, it was impossible for them to kill the black captain with the sniper rifle, as they could not get within 100 meters of Wei Huo. Everything in that range was pitch-black. Anyone who entered that area would die.
Of course, the black captain was no exception, but Wei Huo had deliberately spared him.
Just like that, the black captain was akin to Wei Huo’s spokesperson for death. Whoever he aimed at would die without exception, unless he was too tired to shoot anymore.
The black captain soon got tired. After killing more than 10 Atlanteans, he felt really tired. He had used up too much energy to shoot that huge gun. Not only did he have to spend energy to aim, but he also had to resist the strong recoil force.
Basically, every five shots would cause the huge stone used to hold up the gun to shatter. If one did not find a hard rock to hold the gun, one would not be able to shoot at all. If one fired at that moment, the gun would sink into the ground and the shooter would be severely injured by the recoil force.
Most of the recoil force of the gun had been absorbed by the ground. If the ground was not hard enough, one could not use such a super sniper rifle.
“There’s no need,” Wei Huo said. “This battle should end.”
However, the black captain said, “No, it’s not over yet. Even if it ends now, there will be a next time. Master, G.o.d, Totem Lord, I’m begging you. Take me to the seabed and let me a.s.sa.s.sinate the leader of the Atlanteans. Only then will everything truly end.”
Wei Huo shook his head. “You can’t do it!”
The black captain was too naive. It was impossible to a.s.sa.s.sinate the leader of the Atlanteans with a sniper rifle. Plus, there were at least 350 Legendary creatures in the underwater world. This power could really sweep everything on the surface of the Earth.
The black captain said, “I’m not afraid of death. I’ll trade my life for this!”
Wei Huo said, “Ten thousand, ten million, or even trillions of lives would not be enough. You’re too weak.”
The black captain probably thought that the underwater world was only as big as this island. Or perhaps, like most people, he also thought Atlantis was just a city at the bottom of the sea.
However, everyone overlooked the fact that a country on the ground could only have so many cities and so many people. How many cities and Atlanteans would an underwater continent have?
Some experts would always shout that they had found the ruins of Atlantis when they found a few pots and pans. In reality, these people only found utensils that others did not want and disposed of when they went out for a picnic.
Most experts on Earth were arrogant people. They were best at using their own subjective views to evaluate all the unknown things in the world.
At that thought, Wei Huo told the black captain, “There’s no need. As I said, the battle is over. This is the last battle.”
It was not unreasonable for Wei Huo to hunt down the Atlanteans. He had already discovered some secrets hidden by the underwater Legendary creatures. Their purpose for building this deathly game was to collect despair and fear.
All the secrets were now beginning to surface.
Wei Huo took a step forward and appeared in front of the young man who had used the thread at the beginning. The young man was slaughtering a group of cows and sheep. Seven or eight indigenous people were lying next to him. They had been killed by him, and their deaths had been tragic. They had been cut into pieces by the hard invisible thread.
Wei Huo’s sudden appearance almost scared the young man to death. The threads he had set up around him were useless. He looked at Wei Huo in fear. “Is that spatial equipment? You have spatial equipment?”
The young man had used some unknown method to heal his throat. It should be the medicine the indigenous people were carrying. However, other than the medicine of the indigenous people, he was also equipped with the weapons of the indigenous people. It seemed like, like most Atlanteans, they had chosen to steal the weapons of the indigenous people before fighting with other Atlanteans.
However, Wei Huo had partic.i.p.ated in the battle. This was only the beginning.
Wei Huo looked at the young man and said, “Are you the leader?”
The young man raised his brows and said, “Are you the betrayer? Are you planning to kill me?”
Wei Huo said, “No, I want you to be the final winner. That’s why I’m here, to ensure that you won’t die.”
After Wei Huo finished his sentence, the surrounding soil and plants started turning black. Before the young man could react, he sneered, “Are you trying to say that you’re the loyal subject? Do you think I’ll believe you? Let me tell you something… I don’t believe anyone now. I only believe in myself!”
Wei Huo said, “It doesn’t matter… The game is about to end anyway.”
It was late at night. There was no moon in the sky, and the stars were extremely dim. The ground was also shrouded in darkness. A few flames appeared on the island, but they were quickly extinguished. The hunters were stealthily moving around in the dark. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
