Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1193: Let’s Fight!
Chapter 1193: Let's Fight!
The sudden appearance of the King Worm did not come as a surprise to the group.
However, what weighed heavily on the hearts of the four, Zhang Yi included, was that its current superhuman ability index had reached at least 20,000 points!
That was a full 4,000 points higher than the Broodmother's ability index! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
For the four of them, this was undoubtedly an unexpected and arduous battle!
But things had already come to this point; of course, they couldn't possibly retreat. This was the first time they had encountered a monster with an ability index of 20,000.
However, with the four of them joining forces, victory was not impossible.
Zhang Yi's mindset was the most composed.
Even if this battle ended in failure, he had a way to escape.
The Ground Centipede was adapted to the underground environment; it couldn't survive on the surface for long, and he wasn't afraid of it pursuing him.
"Everyone, let's fight! Kill it!"
Zong Yue said in a deep voice.
But Zhang Yi swept over to where the Broodmother had just fallen, directly storing its massive body into his Dimensional Space.
A mutant creature of this level had many valuable parts on its body; taking it back for research was excellent.
Especially its carapace. If it weren't for Li Changgong's ability countering it, breaking through would likely have required a great deal of effort from Zhang Yi and the others.
Seeing this, the others couldn't really say anything at this moment.
Originally, they had planned to send people down to collect it after the battle ended.
But now, with the King Worm's appearance, it wouldn't give them the chance. Everything in the cavern was probably going to be smashed to pieces, so they let Zhang Yi have it.
Zong Yue's right hand was still holding that sealed, massive heart.
He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yi, "Chaos, keep this with you too!"
After speaking, he directly threw the Broodmother's heart towards Zhang Yi, who unceremoniously stored it away as well.
They still had to fight now; the others couldn't possibly carry a giant heart into battle with the King Worm.
The convenience of spatial-type abilities was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
But the King Worm wouldn't give them time. Its home destroyed, its mate killed, had driven this king of the underground kingdom into a rage beyond reason.
After losing the Broodmother, it no longer had an ideal mate to produce excellent offspring with.
This was an immense blow to the entire species!
"Kreee!"
An energy ray, like a long, narrow blade, pierced through space and swept violently towards the four!
The massive underground cavern was split down the middle, teetering on the verge of collapse.
The four had already adjusted to a combat-ready state, but not one of them dared to easily block the King Worm's attack.
Zong Yue manipulated earth and stone, forming massive pillars to encircle the King Worm, attempting to replicate the tactic used against the Broodmother earlier.
But the King Worm merely swept a single ray, shattering them all into dust.
Zhang Yi drew White Owl, using [All Things Follow Traces] to lock onto the King Worm's massive form.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately unleashed his currently most powerful attack—[Spear of Annihilation]!
With allies present, there was no need to spend time probing slowly. He would use this move to test its defenses and reaction speed.
The two guns merged into one. Behind Zhang Yi, a massive dark void halo manifested. Boundless void power, like a dark, viscous tide, attached itself to White Owl.
Then, aiming at the King Worm, he unleashed a world-shaking strike!
The muzzle was aimed at the King Worm's current position, but after the bullet left the chamber, it would change course mid-air through the Dimensional Gate, aiming at where the King Worm would be two seconds later.
Without having experienced this move before, no one could quickly discern its secret.
The King Worm was naturally no exception.
It sensed the power of this attack and had no intention of taking it head-on. Its massive, twisted body was incredibly agile; its muscle groups contorted, its body dodging the Spear of Annihilation's initial trajectory.
But it didn't expect the attack fired from the gun could change direction mid-flight!
"BOOM!"
The Spear of Annihilation struck the King Worm's body head-on, aiming for its waist and abdomen—the location of its power origin. Only by destroying that could the King Worm be killed.
Zong Yue and the others stared intently at the King Worm. They were all apprehensive about the power of this move, unsure how much damage it would inflict.
The Spear of Annihilation created a massive dark space at the King Worm's location.
But moments later, the dark space vanished. Everyone saw a sight that made their scalps tingle.
Zhang Yi's strike had indeed caused effective damage. They could clearly see the King Worm's waist and abdomen area had been corroded into a bloody, ragged mess, flesh and blood flowing freely.
But at the same time, a formidable vitality suffused the King Worm's body. Its wounds were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
By the time Zong Yue and the others saw clearly, its body had already restored itself to its original state!
"Was my attack power insufficient?"
Zhang Yi frowned, but he quickly dismissed that thought.
After mastering void power, it had compensated for his previous shortcomings in attack power. This move was an absolute nightmare for superhumans of the same level.
But the King Worm's defenses were too strong, coupled with its terrifying regenerative ability. Unless its origin was destroyed in one go, killing it in a short time was simply impossible.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Li Changgong's mouth.
"It seems it's still up to me!"
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so?"
Zong Yue then said, "This thing's defenses are too formidable. Being able to survive in magma shows ordinary means won't kill it."
"Now, we should still have Gouchen as the main attacker. The rest of us will create opportunities for him to attack!"
Zhang Yi didn't say anything. This behemoth was indeed difficult to deal with.
"Caw! Caw!"
Han Shanzuo transformed into a giant Calamity Crow. Black feathers drifted down in the air as the law of [Omen of Calamity] bound the King Worm, greatly restricting its reaction speed and physical strength, even slowing the flow of its superhuman energy.
"Gouchen!!"
Han Shanzuo roared.
Li Changgong soared into the air, then swept towards the King Worm's rear.
"I already know where your vital point is. With this blade, I send you to your death!"
Once struck by Li Changgong's blade, even the most formidable defense would crumble, cleaved in two!
But the moment he appeared behind the King Worm, its body suddenly shuddered violently. A massive amount of magma surged from the depths of the earth, erupting skyward!
The sudden change caught Li Changgong off guard. He had to dodge the magma.
And at that moment, the King Worm's head shot through the magma, its body twisting as it bit towards him!
The King Worm was too fast. Li Changgong had intended to sever its head with one slash, but it dodged the blade's path, biting towards his body from a bizarre angle!
"CRUNCH!"
Li Changgong's left arm, along with the Adamantium alloy Long Sword in his hand, was bitten off in one go. The long sword held out for only a moment before, "CRACK! CRACK!" shattering into a dozen pieces!
Intense pain instantly drained the color from Li Changgong's face. He nearly fainted but managed to hold on through sheer force of will.
Zong Yue's feet stomped the ground. Countless rocks enveloped his body as he transformed into a several-hundred-meter-tall stone giant, charging to the King Worm's side and punching it away with tremendous force!
This saved Li Changgong's life. He quickly created distance, then injected medication to stop the bleeding.
