Chapter 1079: The Strange Rock"s Descent
The current battle situation was just like the miniature version of the Great Horn Rebellion that happened in Picturesque Orchid Lake before the Dragon City civilization broke through Monster Mountain Range in his previous life.
The dignity, anger, and lives of millions of rat people were all used and turned into stepping stones for ambitious people.
It made the ambition of ambitious people uncontrollable and ultimately led to the destruction of both the Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a malicious arc.
"Since you guys like to play the role of the Big-horned Rat G.o.d"s emissary so much, then please shoulder the responsibility of being an emissary!"
He looked around and soon found a square boulder with a diameter of more than one arm in the depths of the ruins that no one could see.
As he mumbled, totem power surged into his right arm.
A mysterious substance that looked like liquid metal seemed to be seeping out from the depths of his pores, forming a gorgeous armor that covered his entire right arm.
On the armor, the chains continued to extend, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws like a flood dragon, swallowing and spitting.
With a splash, Meng Chao shook the chains and entangled the giant rock he had chosen.
As spirit energy continued to spurt out, dark red flames surged out of his entire right arm.
The chains, under the entanglement of the flames, turned into an almost transparent orange color.
Streams of spirit energy that looked like magma poured into the boulder through the chains.
The temperature of the boulder kept rising, as if it had just arrived from outer s.p.a.ce at lightning speed and was rubbing against the particles suspended in the atmosphere at a high speed. The burning sh.e.l.l of the boulder was emitting dazzling brilliance.
Meng Chao only stopped temporarily when the giant rock was heated to the point that it was almost melted into magma.
He took a deep breath and held the end of the chain with both hands. With his feet as the center of the circle, he spun it in circles, causing the giant rock to spin at high speed like a hammer.
His spinning speed became increasingly fast, and the burning giant rock gradually turned into a red storm around him.
When the roar of the storm was so strong that the entire ruins were about to collapse, Meng Chao roared and took aim at his target before letting go.
The chains that were tightly wrapped around the boulder suddenly loosened as if they had a life of their own.
The boulder shot out, first pa.s.sing through a cloud of thick smoke and concealing its origin.
Then, at a height of more than a hundred meters, it drew a nearly perfect arc, pa.s.sing over the heads of the rat people"s volunteer army and the barbarian elephant warriors, as well as the copper and iron walls of the Broken Rock Clan. As if it had eyes, it crashed into the Broken Rock Clan"s temple precisely and violently.
Boom!
It must be noted that the giant rock was not simply burning on its sh.e.l.l.
Countless cracks had been created inside by Meng Chao"s hidden force. The giant rock, which was filled with violent spirit energy, almost resembled an unstable "magma bomb."
The moment it crashed into the Broken Rock Clan"s temple, the giant rock exploded.
The broken rock swept across, and magma splashed everywhere. The shockwave produced a deafening roar.
All of a sudden, the fierce battle between the barbarian elephant warriors and the rat people"s volunteer army was covered up.
The elite rat people in hooded cloaks thought that they were fooling around, and no one knew their plan. They were concentrating on a.s.sembling tools and spying on the underground.
Who would have thought that burning boulders would fall from the sky? Moreover, the boulders contained scorching magma and destructive spirit energy!
These elite rat subjects were all experts with totem power and even totem armor.
Judging from the strength system of Dragon City, they were at least two-star and three-star superhumans.
Sensing the magma, gravel, and shock waves, they swept over.
They subconsciously activated the life magnetic field and extracted the totem armor, forming a solid defense in front of them.
This defense was bad!
They had indeed perfectly blocked the lava, gravel, and shockwaves outside.
Other than a few hooded elites who had gained some burns on their exposed hands and feet as they protect the tools to crack the temple, there wasn"t much of a problem.
However, the spirit ripples caused by the surging vitality magnetic field had been sensed by the barbarian elephant warriors a wall away!
Earlier, the barbarian elephant warriors had focused all their attention on the surging tide of rat people outside the wall.
Coupled with the blind spot in their minds, they had never thought that anyone would dare to have designs on the temple.
Hence, the elite rats had sneaked into their own backyard without realizing it.
Right then, a "meteorite" fell from the sky, screaming and burning at the same time. It crashed heavily into their own backyard, attracting the attention of all the brute elephant warriors.
Then, more than ten weird spirit energy ripples were triggered from their own backyard.
Their own backyard was obviously empty. Where did the aura of so many experts come from?
The barbarian elephant warriors who had realized this were not in the mood to tangle with the ordinary rat militia.
A few barbarian elephant warriors immediately retreated to their own backyard and checked the area where the temple was located.
Their ears buzzed from the impact of the "meteorite" landing, and the hooded elites with blank minds crashed into each other.
They looked at each other and were all dumbfounded.
The scene at that time was very awkward.
Both sides seemed to have turned into clay figurines.
Apart from the crackling of the flames, the scene was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop. It was as if a battering ram had smashed into both their eardrums. Moreover, on both sides, it was as if a deafening tsunami had overwhelmed their minds and hearts.
Three seconds later, both sides attacked at the same time.
The hooded elites turned into shadows that were almost incorporeal, and they shot out tricky spikes from unbelievable angles.
When the temple was invaded, the barbarian elephant warriors, whose ancestral spirits had been blasphemed, were instantly burned red with anger. They burst out with astonishing strength, even though seven or eight spikes had pierced through their bodies at the same time, they also used their war hammers, battle axes, and spiked clubs to sweep away thousands of soldiers.
It was like a huge, invisible propeller that rumbled in the backyard of the Broken Rock Clan.
It instantly tore both sides into pieces, turning them into a thick rain of blood that gushed into the air.
Outside the high wall of the Broken Rock Clan, the pressure faced by the common rat militia was greatly reduced.
No matter how important the armory and granary were, they were not like the temples that enshrined the weapons and bones of their ancestors. Those were related to the foundation of the Broken Rock Clan.
As such, most of the barbarian elephant warriors retreated while fighting. They gradually moved to the area where the temple was located in their own backyard.
"At most, we can temporarily give up the granary and armory. These lowly rats won"t be able to move much in a short period of time. We just need to firmly guard the temple and wait for the Blood Hoof Army to come back. Then, we can crush these rats in one go!"
The barbarian elephant warriors gritted their teeth and made a decision.
They were ready to vent their anger that had just been provoked by the ordinary rat militia on the despicable intruders of the temple.
With hundreds of corpses piled up, the road to the granary and armory of the Broken Rock Clan was finally cleared.
The confused rat militia still did not know that they had just walked through the gates of h.e.l.l, where all the soldiers had been annihilated.
They also had no idea what was going on with the fierce battle that was breaking out in the Broken Rock Clan"s backyard.
Some people even thought that the burning meteorite that had just fallen from the sky was a "miracle" that had been sent down by the Big-horned Rat G.o.d.
"The barbarian elephant warriors have retreated. We have beaten the barbarian elephant warriors!"
They opened their eyes wide in disbelief, dancing and crying in joy.
The barbarian elephant people were the Blood Hoof Clan in a sense and even one of the largest advanced orcs in the entire area.
They were also a symbol of strength, valor, and fort.i.tude.
Who would have thought that the rat people would be able to defeat the powerful barbarian elephant warriors by relying on their own valor.
Such a victory had undoubtedly injected a rapid-acting heart-strengthening drug into the rat people"s rebel army.
It made their minds go blank, and they felt extremely bloated. All they wanted was to immediately charge into the Broken Rock Clan"s armory and granary.
Once these delirious mobs really charged into the armory and granary, they would be unable to extricate themselves from the glistening weapons and fragrant food.
Without half a day"s time, it would be impossible for them to recover their organization and retreat in an orderly manner.
In that case, with the furious Blood Hoof Army charging toward Black-corner City at high speed, only death awaited them, or a fate that was a hundred times worse than death.
Luckily, at this moment, someone shouted from behind the rat people"s Liberation Army, "Not good, the Blood Hoof Army has returned. They are under Black-corner City, ready to attack at any time!"
The voice was like ice water floating in the air. It instantly cooled down the hot-headed Liberation Army.
No matter how confident they were, the Rat people"s Liberation Army did not think that they could compete with thousands of Blood Hoof warriors.
Their original plan had been to create chaos in Black-corner City and seize a batch of food as well as weapons. After that, they would immediately escape the demon den.
No one knew how the bloodthirsty people gathered together and who was the first to make the decision to attack the Broken Rock Clan"s mansion.
The rat militia who had regained their calmness did not care about the sharp and piercing scream that sounded like steel needles piercing their eardrums and touching their souls.
They did not have the time to think. They were still far from the city wall, so how did the person who made the scream know that the Blood Hoof Army was close at hand and approaching the city.
In any case, even if the Blood Hoof Army was dozens of miles away from Black-corner City, the vanguard forces would be able to enter the city within one to two hours if they advanced at full speed.
Plus, they would not be able to empty the granary and armory of the Broken Rock Clan within one to two hours.
Since that was the case, leaving behind hundreds of rebel soldier corpses was a waste of time, which was more precious than life. What was the reason for attacking the Broken Rock Clan?
Realizing this, the rebel rat army broke out in cold sweat.
They were both annoyed and glad.
At this moment, another voice came from the back of the crowd, "The emissaries of the Rat G.o.d are waiting for us in the north. They have already gotten enough food and weapons. Let us not delay any longer. Let"s head north!"
