172 – Capturing The City Of h.e.l.lions
Once injected into Shayenna, the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots swiftly removed all the cancerous radiation cells.
Xi Clan’s research on nuclear energy and nuclear power was by far beyond the level of Turandot Subcontinent’s Warlocks. The Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots clearly had a miraculous effect on the nuclear radiation power.
Shayenna only felt strange movements along her throat. She parted her cherry lips, and spat out pitch-black filth – exuding a sickening stench.
After Shayenna had spat out that nasty stuff, she felt her entire body become a lot more relaxed and at ease.
“Still not enough, your body is just too damaged. It seems like I need to inject you a with more vials of the elixir.”
Yang Feng frowned lightly, then took out 5 vials of the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robot Elixir and directly injected them into Shayenna’s body.
Originally, the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots treated the body by stimulating its potential – extracting the body’s ailments and toxins by erupting the person’s potential.
Although Shayenna was a Legend rank expert, but the injuries which she had suffered were just too severe; therefore, she had to rely on the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots to extract the radiation power in her body. This drained greatly the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots.
Once the 5 vials worth of Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots had entered her body, they quickly began to dispose of the cancerous radiation cells.
The ugly radiation tumors on Shayenna’s body burst open, and diffused putrid pus. The scars all over her body directly fell of, exposing a spotless and lovely body.
Shayenna’s beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of excitement. She waved her lily-white hand, cast the level-4 divine spell Great Healing, and a stream of resplendent divine light shrouded her body.
Bursts of itch were transmitted from Shayenna’s legs; her flesh sprouted and wriggled as a pair of slender and elegant legs slowly emerged.
The level-4 divine spell Great Healing originally had a miraculous effect of regenerating severed limbs, yet she could not recover her blown off legs because of the interference from the radiation power; but now that the radiation energy was completely dispelled by the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots, Shayenna could finally recover her missing legs with the level-4 divine spell Great Healing.
With a light jump, Shayenna jumped out of the Holy Spring Divine Pool. Her body was washed clean of all the filth excreted from the tumors all over her body by countless streams of water, and the nauseating and disgusting deformity of her blown off legs had given way to a pair of splendid and enticing legs. She was a peerless dark elven beauty.
Shayenna gave an exceedingly fascinating and charming smile, and said enticingly: “Sir Yang Feng, thank you for saving me. I, Shayenna am willing to accept You as my Master, and am willing to serve You.”
Yang Feng revealed a trace of a smile: “She’s really sensible, no wonder she could become the Great Matriarch of the dark elves.”
Shayenna was so sensible that Yang Feng had no chance to give her a taste of the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots’ backlash. Even the prideful and powerful Carolina who was a peerless expert infinitesimally close to the Starry Sky Warlock rank could not withstand the backlash from the Liquid-Metal Nano-Robots; therefore, Shayenna would be no different.
Yang Feng waved his hand, and threw a cell phone at Romulaj: “Shayenna, come with me to the City of h.e.l.lions. Romulaj, stay here and secretly protect the City of Dark Elves; if there’s anything the matter, then notify me through this sound box.”
Romulaj fiddled with the cell phone after receiving it, and revealed a trace of curiosity: “The sound box produced by Steel City looks really unique.”
Convenient alchemical products like the sound box were the focus of transactions between dark elves and human Warlocks. On the whole, every upper cla.s.s dark elf had one. Romulaj had also seen her fair share of them, but she had yet to see an Earth-style cell phone.
Shayenna said deferentially: “Yes! Sir!”
Only then did Yang Feng flew to the City of h.e.l.lions along with Shayenna and 8 level-4 extraordinary life form rank mechanical battle beasts.
The flying speed of the Amanni Light Wing Icebird surpa.s.sed the speed of sound; thus they could catch up with the army ahead of them.
This was the reason why Yang Feng had left the 10 mechanical battle beasts behind to guard Shayenna, but he hadn’t expected that he would be so lucky as to capture Romulaj.
The City of h.e.l.lions.
Different from the City of Dark Elves, the City of h.e.l.lions was just an large city with a 30 meters tall city wall and a variety of grotesquely shaped nests built inside it.
The h.e.l.lions were artificially produced freaks by combining human subjects with the blood-meridians of powerful beings from all kinds of different planes. The h.e.l.lions possessed the blood-meridians of countless powerful beings. Each superior h.e.l.lion was a powerful being comparable to extraordinary life forms, while the 5 Great h.e.l.lion Ancestors were so terrifyingly powerful that they could even slaughter G.o.ds.
It was precisely because h.e.l.lions were so powerful that they didn’t believe in any G.o.ds. Also, they weren’t proficient in Alchemy and had no support of formidable Alchemy. Even if they were to built an even firmer city wall, it still couldn’t withstand a single strike from a powerhouse – a Great Warlock’s all out attack could destroy the City of h.e.l.lion’s city wall – they were naturally unwilling to do pointless work.
By devouring humans, h.e.l.lions could get the majority of their knowledge and a part of their power; therefore the majority of h.e.l.lions were not fond of arduous cultivation, but would instead go out of their way to hunt for humans. This was the reason why humans were so hostile towards h.e.l.lions and were so adamant about killing them.
In the under world, h.e.l.lions were indisputably the most powerful race. Even though the dark elves had Shayenna, the under world’s nr.1 expert behind it, yet their number of Great Warlock rank experts was far behind that of h.e.l.lions.
But h.e.l.lions were also divided into different tribes. The majority of tribes were in conflict with one another, which was precisely the reason why the dark elves had become under world’s most powerful force.
The City of h.e.l.lions, within a beautiful and luxurious palace which was not the slightest bit inferior to a human’s imperial palace.
A devilishly-handsome young man was quietly reading a book. The young man had a tall figure, a head full of dazzling short golden hair, and was dressed in black clothes.
Next to the young man knelt 7 beautiful and enchanting young ladies covered in muslin. The 7 young ladies were looking flirtatiously at the young man, their beautiful eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with adoration.
An eagle-eyed hook-nosed young man – exuding the atmosphere of a highly capable person – strode into the room. The man gave the 7 charming young ladies a mere glance, and then said solemnly: “Your Majesty, Steel City’s expeditionary forces had defeated the City of Dark Elves, and are currently marching towards our City of h.e.l.lions.”
The young man with short golden hair was the Monarch of Turandot Subcontinent’s Pantheon h.e.l.lion Tribe, the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch. Although he looked just like a mere 24 or 25 year-old, yet he had already lived for more than 3 millennia – he was literally an old freak.
Pantheon h.e.l.lions originated from the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Ancestor. The blood and divinity of countless formidable G.o.ds from different planes gathered inside the body of the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Ancestor; it was the most powerful among the 5 Great h.e.l.lion Ancestors. The pantheon h.e.l.lions lived the longest and were the strongest among h.e.l.lions of the same rank. The only weakness of the pantheon h.e.l.lions was their low fertility – they numbered the least amongst h.e.l.lions.
Every adult pantheon h.e.l.lion had the cultivation base of a Great Warlock rank expert. Furthermore, once they turned adult, even if they didn’t practice cultivation, they would still slowly condense a trace of divinity and become divine life forms.
The Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch was the sole powerhouse among Turandot Subcontinent’s pantheon h.e.l.lions. Him, the Undead h.e.l.lion Monarch and the Myriad Beasts h.e.l.lion Monarch were called h.e.l.lion Clan’s 3 Great Tyc.o.o.ns.
The eagle-eyed hook-nosed young man – who was exuding the atmosphere of a highly capable person – was Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch’s trusted subordinate, Wormysley.
The eyes of the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch flashed with a touch of astonishment, and he exclaimed: “So fast? But the City of Dark Elves has the blessing of Lolth, that wh.o.r.e of a G.o.ddess. How could it have been defeated so fast?
How come Steel City’s mechanical legion is so powerful?”
Wormysley said with a bitter smile: “I don’t know, I only know that they are marching towards us. Not long ago, the 8th sentry post’s warriors were wiped out.”
The eyebrows of the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch rose lightly, and he said: “It seems like we have at most 30 minutes before Steel City’s mechanical legion reaches our City of h.e.l.lions; their speed of advancement is really fast.
Currently, there are no news from the Undead h.e.l.lion Monarch, and the Myriad Beasts h.e.l.lion Monarch presides over the under world’s overall situation. Am I the only one left in the City of h.e.l.lions?”
Wormysley said with antic.i.p.ation: “That’s right. Your Majesty, the City of h.e.l.lions depends on you!”
The eyebrows of the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch suddenly straightened, and he said with a smile: “Since this is the case, then pa.s.s down my order – everyone is to immediately evacuate the City of h.e.l.lions. It’s better to give this city to Steel City.”
Wormysley stilled for a moment, and then said with some incredulity: “Your Majesty, did I heard you correctly? You want to give the City of h.e.l.lions to Steel City? We h.e.l.lions haven’t suffered such a humiliation for several millennia!!”
The Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch said lightly: “Wormysley, between our City of h.e.l.lion and the City of Dark Elves, which one has the strongest defense?”
Wormysley said without hesitation: “The City of Dark Elves has the blessing of the G.o.ddess’ divine power; it’s br.i.m.m.i.n.g with extraordinary power, and its defensive strength is by far stronger than that of our City of h.e.l.lions.”
The Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch continued: “The main forces of the City Of h.e.l.lions had already departed for the surface world. Compared to the City of Dark Elves, how is the current strength of our City of h.e.l.lions?”
Wormysley was silent for a moment, and then said with difficulty: “The remaining power of our City of h.e.l.lions cannot compare to that of the City of Dark Elves.”
The eyes of the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch flashed with a glint of wisdom, and he a.n.a.lysed succinctly: “Since the other side could defeat the City of Dark Elves in a short period of time, then our City of h.e.l.lions also won’t be able to withstand their offensive. Staying here won’t amount to nothing more than dying in vain!
We’ll withdraw first, and leave them an empty city; in the future, we’ll think of ways to recapture the city. After all, the under world belongs to us; and no matter how strong the humans are, but it’s still impossible for them to stay here long term.”
Wormysley sighed in admiration: “That’s right, the under world’s environment is fundamentally not suited for the survival of humans. Even if they hide in the City of h.e.l.lions, there is nothing to it. We’ll regain the city in the future.
Your Majesty is really amazing; your subordinate is far from being your equal.”
After he finished speaking, Wormysley saluted towards the Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch, and then quickly left the palace.
The Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch suddenly sighed with disappointment: “Steel City, interesting. They could even capture the City of Dark Elves. The rumor that they wiped out 18 Great Warlock rank experts in one fell swoop, it appears like it isn’t fake. Alchemy is just so powerful! The Alchemy of human Warlocks, ah!!!”
Whenever humans contended against other formidable beings, they tended to breed, like flies, all kinds of extremely powerful secret treasures, and overwhelm those powerful and highly talented beings with superior abilities. In terms of cultivation apt.i.tude, more than 99% of humans couldn’t compare to formidable beings like fiends, ancient demons, and deities.
The Pantheon h.e.l.lion Monarch had astonis.h.i.+ng strength. If secret treasures were not taken into account, then he would be Turandot Subcontinent’s nr.1 expert with his battle prowess, and even Starlight Aldrich might not be his match. But when taking secret treasures into account, then Starlight Aldrich could defeat him by paying a sky-high price.
When Yang Feng’s enormous mechanical legion arrived before the City of h.e.l.lions, it was met with torrents of flames along with large amounts of smoke rising from the city.
“Leave no provisions for the enemy!”
When Yang Feng saw the City of h.e.l.lion’s city gate wide open and the churning flames, his eyes flashed with a touch of graveness. He felt like things had become tricky.
If the h.e.l.lions had opted to stay in their city and had directly faced Yang Feng, that would be the best scenario for Yang Feng.
As long as the remains could be retrieved, then no matter how many primary battle robots were to be wrecked by the h.e.l.lions, it would just result in a slight consumption of energy. To redeem a large number of h.e.l.lion lives for a bit of energy, that would definitely be quite profitable.
But the h.e.l.lions were very cunning. They directly burnt the City of h.e.l.lions along with any goods which couldn’t be moved, before leaving this empty city to Yang Feng, along with a headache.
h.e.l.lions were, however, a powerful race of the under world. Even without the City of h.e.l.lions, they could still disperse to all corners of the under world and survive by eating insects, mushrooms, and moss. As for the issue of loosing their reason when not eating human flesh, h.e.l.lions had also a solution for that.
Apart from the City of h.e.l.lions, there were still more than 30 cities set up by the h.e.l.lions in the under world; therefore, it wasn’t that simple to defeat them.
“The h.e.l.lions are so crufty! If I had abandoned the city to escape, would it be different now?”
Joana thought it over, and immediately realized that she could not have made the second choice. Dark elves had spent countless blood and sweat on the City of Dark Elves. With the blessing from the G.o.ddess Lolth’s divine power, this extraordinary city had a formidable defense. Other cities were fundamentally not a match for it.
The dark elves would have never agreed if Joana had chosen to abandon the City of Dark Elves. Additionally, at the time, they had looked down on the small force which was Steel City.
