Chapter 1300: A Gra.s.shopper on a Rope
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wolf King’s encounter was like a retreat from Meng Chao.
It was even more dangerous than Meng Chao.
The Fusion Beast’s entire weight relied on its thin and long tentacles, tightly wrapping around his ankles. One could clearly hear the sounds of metal fatigue and bone compression coming from the wound.
This beast seemed to know that its time was coming, and it only wanted to drag the Wolf King down with it.
Its hundreds of slender limbs were dancing crazily in the abyss. Deep inside its body that had been torn into pieces, a hideous laughter was heard. The totems on its sh.e.l.l that had been broken were still shining with a mysterious light, terrifying ripples were released at the Wolf King.
The Wolf King split the six murderous sabers again.
The six flying sabers turned into six scarlet bolts of lightning again and stabbed at the fusion beast.
But after the battle just now, the Wolf King, who did not have enough spiritual energy reserves, was no longer able to activate the full power of the six killing sabers.
It was very difficult for the six killing sabers to directly cut the fusion beast into thousands of pieces. They could only continuously pierce through the body of the fusion beast, poking one transparent hole after another.
But the fusion beast was already riddled with holes, it did not care at all. On its beehive-like body, there were one or a hundred more holes.
Its weight and the kinetic energy brought by the violent struggle, in addition to the psionic ripples created by the Wolf King’s surging totem power, caused the spider web cracks on the rock wall that the wolf king was clinging to to to become deeper and denser.
Pieces of rock fragments the size of a fist continuously exploded from the rock wall. They brushed past the Wolf King’s head and shoulders and silently fell into the abyss.
The rock wall could not hold on for much longer.
Perhaps the entire wall would collapse in the next second.
This scene fell into the eyes of Meng Chao, who was leaning against the edge of the rock wall and looking down at the abyss. It was like a giant rock falling from a hundred thousand feet cliff into a deep pool below, stirring the raging waves in his mind.
If he did not make a move, the Wolf King would die without a doubt.
The ‘Doomsday Demon Wolf’had died before its ambition had been fulfilled. It was bound to cause an earth-shattering change to the future.
The question was, would such a future really become better?
Meng Chao’s mind raced, but he couldn’t make up his mind.
No matter what, Tu Lanze needed a leader.
Dragon City wasn’t ready yet. With the power of a lone city, they would swallow the entire TU Lanze and bring the high-level orcs into the system of Earth’s civilization.
They weren’t ready either. They weren’t able to control the high-level orcs who fought in a completely different way from Earth’s people to fight against the most powerful Holy Light Army in history, as well as the s.p.a.ce-based orbital weapons that were above the atmosphere.
Even if Meng Chao had a way to Bury Lion King, Tiger King, and Wolf King at the top of the Holy Mountain, and take advantage of the fact that the Tulan civilization was leaderless and the five clans were at a loss, he would lead the steel flood of Dragon City into Tulan, forcefully appointing a governor and Earth commander to rule Tulan and command the Tulan Army.
That would only trigger the strongest resistance and rebellious mentality of the high-level orcs, causing serious internal strife between dragon city and Tulan, causing them to suffer an even earlier and easier defeat than in their previous life.
Tulan needed order.
It needed a leader of the orcs to appease the emotions of all the high-level orcs, suppress the opposition within the Tulan civilization, reach a comprehensive agreement with Dragon City, and slowly accept the irrigation of modern commerce, industry, and information civilization.
It needed a leader to command the Tulan Army, acting as the strongest meat shield to defend the frontlines of the Otherworld War, and to buy time for the low-key and developed Dragon City civilization.
They also needed a leader to join forces with the undead in the ancient tombs, the abyss demons, the ice plains barbarians… and many other races to form the chaos faction and give the Holy Light faction pressure from all directions.
Now, it seemed that the only one who could do this was ca.n.u.s the jackal.
Both the Lion King and the tiger king were “Unlikable”.
They were as ferocious as the wolf king.
However, they might not be as open-minded as the Wolf King, who had been tested in his previous life, and had the military ability to attack the land of Holy Light.
From the fact that they had easily fallen into the wolf king’s trap, it seemed that they might not be able to complete the arduous task of “Forming the chaos faction to contend with the Holy Light faction”.
Furthermore, there was the inheritance of the sacred mountain.
Now, Meng Chao was certain that the Wolf King knew more about the secrets of the Holy Mountain Temple than ice storm.
He knew the correct path to explore after coming to the peak of the Holy Mountain.
He knew what the so-called “Terror Demon King”was.
He even knew the fatal weakness of this fusion beast.
He was not lying. He had been hiding in the dark to observe just now. It was not that he did not save the Fusion Beast, but that he was really patiently waiting for the fusion beast to extend its second head from the depths of its throat.
In order to penetrate the fatal weakness of the fusion beast, he had even played his most important trump card — the true form of the six kills Saber!
The problem was, how could he know?
The totem beast that made up the fusion beast was fed by the corpses of the powerhouses from three thousand years ago on countless ancient battlefields.
After the totem power leaked out from the sacred mountain temple was continuously seeped and stimulated, the fusion beast was finally formed.
It was unique.
Before this, so many totem beasts had never fused together in the form of a “Beast Centipede.”.
So, how could the wolf king know the fatal weakness of this newly born Fusion Beast in advance?
And the d.a.m.n tacit understanding between the two, their tactical thinking and fighting philosophy almost came out at the same time.
Also, what the Wolf King had unintentionally displayed was very similar to the martial arts of Dragon City in the future.
Meng Chao vaguely felt that these mysteries were the key to the evolution of ‘Jackal’ka.n.u.s from a mere ‘corpse-eating dog’to a ‘Doomsday Wolf’.
They were also the key to reversing the future.
Before the mysteries were completely solved, he could not die yet.
It was not enough for Meng Chao to completely reverse the future just by flapping the b.u.t.terfly’s wings alone.
Whether it was an angel or a demon, he needed more helpers. Flapping together with him was enough to roll up the wings of the storm!
“Crash!”
At this moment, the entire rock wall that the wolf king was clinging to finally exploded.
The Wolf King, the Fusion Beast, and thousands of broken stones all fell into the depths of the darkness.
The Wolf King’s totem armor emitted the last rays of light, trying to activate the magnetic levitation force so that he could levitate above the abyss.
However, the fusion beast crazily threw out the last few liquid metal tentacles, wrapping around the wolf king’s limbs and waist respectively. Using the vibrations of the tentacles, it disintegrated the wolf king’s magnetic levitation force!
Seeing that the wolf king was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness.
It did not allow Meng Chao’s brain to react.
His nerves were already violently twitching, and he jumped into the abyss.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Two “Skull Crusher”dragged two burning chains, one up and one down, and shot out at lightning speed.
The upper one pierced deeply into the rock wall at the edge of the abyss, breaking through more than ten meters like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter, and firmly embedded itself into the solid rock layer.
The lower one turned into a scorching and dazzling arc light, Twining around the fusion Beast’s tentacles. With a fierce tug and a tug, seven or eight of the Fusion Beast’s tentacles were instantly torn off.
The Fusion Beast lost its connection with the Wolf King.
It no longer had the ability to spew out more liquid-like metal substances, condensing into more cl.u.s.ters of bacteria and tentacles.
It let out an unwilling and angry howl, dancing and disappearing into the darkness.
Meng Chao took the opportunity to use the chains of the skull crusher to wrap around the right arm of the Wolf King.
The two chains were stretched straight.
They were like two gra.s.shoppers on a rope, hanging in the middle of the abyss, the dividing line between darkness and light.
In the depths of the darkness, the faint sound of thousands of thunderbolts exploding underground could be heard.
It was a fusion beast formed from totem power, which had already smashed into the bottom of the abyss.
In the depths of the super-large magical rune array that tore the earth apart, the residual power of holy light had a fierce collision and violent reaction.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.
In the middle of their masks, the crystals inlaid above their eyes simultaneously reflected the surging spiritual energy from the depths of the underground. They rubbed against the rock walls, burned the dust, and bloomed like fireworks, but the spiritual energy was a hundred times more deadly than the fireworks.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and contracted his muscles, swaying left and right like a pendulum.
When the shaking reached its limit, he threw the wolf king to the top of the rock wall.
The wolf king drained its last bit of strength and climbed up on all fours.
Then, it returned the favor and dragged Meng Chao up, too.
The moment the two of them climbed out of the abyss.
With a boom, as if a volcano had erupted deep underground, colorful spiritual flames spurted out of the darkness behind them and soared into the sky.
If the two of them were to scheme against each other and stab each other in the back, if they were to be a little slower, they would definitely suffer the impact of the spiritual flames and fall into the bottomless abyss, breaking into pieces along with the Fusion Beast.
They could not care less about the lingering fear in their hearts.
Nor did they have time to experience the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.
The two of them struggled on the ruins in the ugliest posture they could find. The further they were from the violent cracks on the ground, the better.
They crawled more than a hundred meters away in one breath until the abyss that was constantly collapsing could no longer reach them. Only then did the two of them heave a long sigh of relief and lie down on their backs, allowing the exhausted tide to.., drown themselves completely.
The two of them could no longer squeeze out even a single drop of spiritual energy from the depths of their cells.
They could only put the totem armor back into their bodies, revealing their bodies that were riddled with wounds and swollen due to the soaked blood.
They turned their heads with difficulty and looked at each other. They saw the miserable state of the other party and their own miserable appearance in the other party’s eyes.
The two of them took out a ‘yellow crystal fruit’respectively.
However, they no longer had the strength. They twisted their joints greatly and put the yellow crystal fruit into their mouths.
After exchanging glances and having a heart-to-heart talk, they could only bend their fingers at the same time and flick the yellow crystal fruit to the side of the other party’s head.
“Gulp.”The two of them turned their heads and opened their mouths to swallow the yellow crystal fruit.
Accompanied by a slight twitch of their bodies, red mist formed from fresh blood gradually surged out of their bodies. It was like two huge coc.o.o.ns, wrapping around them and slowly repairing them inside.
Logically speaking, the two of them should not have done this.
Although the yellow crystal fruit was condensed from pure natural materials, its nature was more gentle and stable than dragon city’s high-level gene reagent.
However, it still contained a tyrannical and tyrannical totem power. It was like a ticking time bomb. If it was swallowed into the body, it needed a safe and peaceful environment to be digested and absorbed.
For people like Meng Chao and the Wolf King who were riddled with injuries, exhausted, and had almost used up all their spiritual energy, if they were to rashly consume the yellow crystal fruit to heal their injuries, their bodies would definitely undergo a process of rebirth.
This was also their most vulnerable stage.
Based on the battle between the two of them a few months ago, as well as the confrontation after the strength angel self-destructed, they should not have shown such a fragile posture in front of the other party.
But they had no other choice.
If they did not heal their injuries as soon as possible, they would recover at least 70% of their combat strength.
Not to mention the Lion King and Tiger King who could catch up at any time, or the numerous traps in the sacred mountain temple.
Even if another small totem beast came, they would only be fish meat on the chopping board.
