Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1124: Insect Mother
Chapter 1124: Insect Mother
When that enormous black ground centipede appeared, utter despair filled every person's heart.
But Zong Yue's appearance was like a sun, bringing them light.
The black ground centipede, the Broodmother, sensed Zong Yue's presence and immediately abandoned Tian Fengyi before her, raising its head to "look" toward him.
A cautious light flickered in Zong Yue's eyes. At his feet, the mountain range suddenly emitted a thunderous, rumbling roar.
The unmoving mountain suddenly moved beneath his soles, extending forward like a giant dragon.
The earth flowed like a river or stream, swirling around his feet, transforming into a towering peak, a staircase extending forward.
"I bring the mountains with me!"
Zong Yue pushed his right palm toward the Broodmother, and the mountain beneath his feet pressed directly onto the top of the Broodmother's head!
"Crackle-rattle—"
The Broodmother's cry was extremely bizarre, like stones rattling inside a wooden crate.
Facing the suppressing mountain, it did not dodge at all. Instead, it opened its bloody maw wide and charged directly into it!
The mountain shattered, and Zong Yue was sent flying backward. New earthen and stone steps rapidly materialized beneath his feet to catch his body.
Shattered rocks flew everywhere. Many people who couldn't escape in time were crushed to death. Tian Fengyi urgently shouted, ordering everyone to flee immediately.
Zong Yue half-knelt upon the earth and stone, pressing his palms together.
"Earth Overturn!"
Most of the Broodmother's body was still within the abyss at this moment. But then, the surrounding stone walls suddenly bulged outward and rapidly began to squeeze toward it.
Zong Yue leaped into the air. A yellow light condensed upon his armor. Massive boulders, as if attracted by something, swiftly attached themselves to his armor.
In moments, Zong Yue transformed into an earthen and stone giant even larger than the Broodmother, swinging his fists to smash viciously toward the Broodmother!
"BOOM!!!"
The giant and the Broodmother collided, sinking directly into the depths of the abyss. The stone walls on both sides rapidly closed together, sealing it shut completely.
The originally massive sinkhole was actually completely plugged by Zong Yue using his ability!
Tian Fengyi desperately shouted through a megaphone, "Everyone, retreat immediately! Get away from here! Non-combat personnel, evacuate by train! Now, now, now!"
He knew an Epsilon-level battle would not end so easily.
Zong Yue's great battle with the Broodmother would continue. Ordinary people staying nearby would undoubtedly die!
Only superhumans like them could observe from a safe distance, but even that was only to wait and receive Zong Yue, not to directly participate in the battle.
Deep in the abyss, Zong Yue and the Broodmother engaged in the most terrifying close-quarters combat!
The passage behind them was sealed by Zong Yue to prevent the battle from affecting others.
Otherwise, everyone in Wuyou Valley might be caught in the crossfire.
The stone giant's fists smashed fiercely against the Broodmother's body. The Broodmother also used the flexibility of its own form to constrict and crush the stone giant.
It opened its massive maw, aiming at the stone giant's head. A black energy wave instantly formed and directly blasted away half of the head formed from gathered boulders!
However, Zong Yue's true body wasn't here at all. He grabbed the Broodmother's body with both hands and tore at it with all his might. The battle between man and insect reverted to its most primitive form.
Within the abyss, thunderous roars echoed continuously!
The power of Zong Yue and the Broodmother was terrifyingly immense. Every strike unleashed a force that formed a horrifying shockwave.
If not for the sheer enormity of this abyss, it could never have contained the battle between these two.
As they fought, they also had to cling to the stone walls of the abyss. Otherwise, falling into the endless depths below, even the most formidable physique would be smashed to pulp.
"Crackle-rattle—"
The Broodmother opened its ugly, four-petaled mouth and violently spewed a jet of dark green liquid toward Zong Yue's giant form.
As this liquid landed on the boulders, the stone armor on Zong Yue's body instantly began to melt away.
In moments, Zong Yue's giant form was already battered and broken into pieces.
He gave a powerful shake. The boulders surrounding his body exploded apart, shooting toward the Broodmother like cannonballs! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The Broodmother's massive body clung to the cliff wall. Facing Zong Yue's attack, its body twisted with a malicious posture, deflecting all the flying shrapnel.
Its body surface was covered in an incredibly hard exoskeleton.
This creature living underground relied on this shell and its venom to easily bore through earth and stone, excavating tunnels.
Seven or eight thick stone ledges extended from the cliff wall, becoming Zong Yue's footholds.
His eyes fixed intently on the Broodmother's position. Then, his entire body shot forward like a cannonball.
From his heavy-armor-covered fists, a vast torrent of supernatural energy surged forth, making him appear like a deity!
The power of the Epsilon level erupted completely, smashing toward the Broodmother's head!
The Broodmother let out a furious roar. Without dodging or evading, it charged directly into the attack!
Two forces collided nearly ten thousand meters underground, even blasting open a terrifying pit over a thousand meters wide into the incredibly resilient subterranean cliff wall!
One must remember, this was at a depth of ten thousand meters. The pressure from the earth and stone layers was unimaginably immense.
Even a superhuman who could easily destroy a mountain peak on the surface would find it difficult to unleash world-splitting power here.
Zong Yue was the exception. As a superhuman possessing earth-related abilities, his performance capabilities underground far exceeded those of superhumans from other systems.
However, after teaching the Broodmother a lesson, he quickly created distance.
After all, this was ten thousand meters underground, the Broodmother's home turf, not his.
Fighting here, the oxygen consumption in his combat suit was also increasing.
Moreover, he wasn't yet accustomed to fighting at such depths. Even light became a significant problem.
Continuing to fight would be difficult to achieve any substantial results.
This wasn't his first or second encounter with this monster. As long as it hid underground, Zong Yue had no way to engage in prolonged battle with it.
Trying to kill an Epsilon-level Mutated Creature occupying a geographical advantage was more difficult than climbing to the heavens.
"Broodmother, do not come to cause trouble again! Do not think we cannot kill you. It is merely that we do not wish to destroy this land for your sake!"
Zong Yue said gravely to the Broodmother.
Most Epsilon-level Mutated Creatures possessed relatively high intelligence. It might be able to understand Zong Yue's stance.
Zong Yue surveyed his surroundings. The Broodmother slowly emerged from a cliff wall, breaking through the earth. Though it had no eyes, Zong Yue could feel its intense hostility.
Suddenly, Zong Yue's expression changed drastically.
Something appeared in his eyes that sent a chill down his spine.
It was reverence.
It was fear.
It was a desire, from the depths of his soul, to bow down.
"You lured me here because..."
In the next moment, an ear-splitting roar erupted from the depths of the abyss. The sound waves even spread from underground like seismic waves, causing the entire Wuyou Valley to shake violently!
