Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1198: Battle, Thrilling!
Chapter 1198: Battle, Thrilling!
Those Ground Centipedes, though their carapaces were hard, couldn't withstand the weapons in Fatty Xu's hands. Soon, flesh and blood flew, and they plummeted into the endless abyss.
"I... I did it!"
Fatty Xu widened his eyes in disbelief, then fell into a frenzy of joy.
So, he wasn't such a complete waste after all!
And this feeling of personally killing an enemy was simply exhilarating for him!
"Wooooohoooooo!!!"
Fatty Xu let out a triumphant shout, the tension and thrill within him making him unable to stop.
Not far away, Old You, holding two machine guns, saw this and a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After all, this was a soldier he had personally trained. Old You knew very well whether Fatty Xu had potential.
There weren't that many mediocre people in this world. Most people just needed to be pushed to realize how strong they could be.
"Chunlei, how does it feel?"
Old You asked with a smile, the machine guns in his hands spewing blue flames as he swept the endless stream of Ground Centipedes rushing from afar.
"Battle, thrilling!"
Fatty Xu laughed heartily, the adrenaline surging through him, making him forget the fear in his heart.
The two slowly began to coordinate. Fatty Xu used his Blizzard ability to control the battlefield, freezing the Ground Centipedes attacking them, and then the two used their weapons to pick them off.
The auto-aim system of their combat suits saved them a lot of trouble. While it couldn't achieve perfect headshot locks, as an assistive function, it greatly reduced their attack error at close range.
The main force on this battlefield, however, was still Liang Yue.
Hua Hua had taken the giant Ground Centipede for a one-on-one fight, and now Liang Yue dominated this area.
The Dragon's Roar in her hand, combined with her [Grandmaster] ability, sliced through those Ground Centipede carapaces like a master butcher dissecting an ox.
The application of technique could greatly reduce the consumption of her superhuman ability and stamina.
Her blade never made a messy move, always slipping into the creature's core from the gaps in the Ground Centipede's carapace, delivering a fatal blow with a single strike.
Her attack method wasn't flashy, but it was simple and effective.
Although they weren't the main force on this battlefield, they absolutely weren't dead weight either.
This fact alone made the members from other regions click their tongues in amazement, not daring to look down on the Jiangnan Region.
No, strictly speaking, it made them pay even more attention to Zhang Yi's team.
Because everyone who came today, except for the third-wheel Deng Shentong, were all Zhang Yi's companions.
And on the battlefield, the ones bearing the brunt of the greatest pressure were still the superhumans from the Shengjing Region.
[Wu Zhiqi] Tian Fengyi, [Blue Bird] Li Yangyang, plus ten Heavenly Champions, twelve high-level superhumans became the main force on the battlefield.
...
In the massive underground nest.
Zhang Yi and the other three Epsilon-level superhumans launched their siege against the King Worm.
A monster with a superhuman ability index of 20,000 points, its strength was simply staggering.
Numbers couldn't make up for the gap in quality, especially in the King Worm's lair, where it held a tremendous advantage in combat.
The four of them were fighting with extreme difficulty.
Just breaking through the King Worm's defense, blasting open that crimson, almost purple carapace, required immense power.
Not to mention its freakish self-healing ability, which was downright terrifying.
Zhang Yi opened his [Manifold Phenomena], using the powerful defensive capability of his Dimensional Space to block its attacks.
The time-based ability in his left eye, [All Things Follow Traces], could predict all of the King Worm's movements within two seconds. So, no matter how fast the King Worm attacked, Zhang Yi would block it.
On the front lines, Zong Yue's body was surrounded by a raging yellow superhuman energy. Substantial power swirled around the rock giant like a storm as he desperately engaged the King Worm in a running battle.
The giant Calamity Crow that Han Shanzuo had transformed into kept launching sneak attacks from the air. The three of them combined could barely keep the King Worm in check.
As for Li Changgong, who had lost an arm, he restrained himself for now, not acting rashly.
His attack had already failed once; he couldn't launch another assault recklessly.
More attacks weren't useful; instead, they could easily allow the King Worm to figure out his attack patterns.
It was better to find a good opportunity for a single, fatal strike.
However, the King Worm's intelligence wasn't low. Even while facing attacks from three opponents, it remained wary of that superhuman who could slice open its carapace with one strike.
"Screech—"
It raised its head, and a long beam of light shot from the black gem-like structure on its head that resembled an eye.
The terrifying power instantly pierced through over a dozen Dimensional Gates, cutting into the rock wall thousands of meters away like a blade.
The expressions of Zhang Yi and the other three turned grave as they hurriedly dodged its lethal attack.
The energy beam swept horizontally, nearly slicing through more than half of the underground nest, leaving a terrifying circular cut mark on the cave's rock wall!
"Boom! Rumble!"
The cavern shook violently, and large chunks of the Elemental Stone Vein fell.
Zhang Yi silently collected all of these things into his Dimensional Space.
The others didn't notice this, thinking Zhang Yi was just helping them defend against the King Worm's attacks.
But they didn't notice that Zhang Yi had already, without them realizing, collected tens of thousands of tons of Elemental Stone ore.
The King Worm, failing with one attack, then reared up its terrifying over-five-hundred-meter-long body. Opening its mouth, it spewed a torrent of blazing fluid, like magma, straight at the group.
Unsurprisingly, it was once again absorbed by Zhang Yi using his Dimensional Space.
Zong Yue and the other two looked at Zhang Yi, their hearts filled with immense gratitude that he was here today.
A person's name might be given wrongly, but their epithet never was.
[Absolute Defense] was absolute defense. With a superhuman ability index of 15,000 points, he could easily block the attacks of a 20,000-point mutant beast for them!
To be honest, if Zhang Yi weren't here, the other three wouldn't have made it this far completely unscathed!
Considering Zhang Yi's terrifying offensive power with his spatial abilities, plus his simultaneous time-based ability, the more they thought about this astounding talent, the more terrifying it seemed.
Even these top-tier powerhouses of the Huaxu Kingdom felt a twinge of jealousy in their hearts.
Seeing its attack methods constantly negated, the King Worm roared angrily.
It "looked" at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi instantly felt a powerful hostile intent locking onto him.
"Well, well, getting desperate, are we?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but tease inwardly.
He was all too familiar with this feeling. In countless past battles, his opponents, especially those stronger than him, had been driven to frustration by their inability to break his defense.
It was that sense of defeat, knowing you're stronger than your opponent but just can't kill them.
At that moment, Yang Xinxin's voice sounded in Zhang Yi's ear.
"Brother, if it's really too troublesome, you can use that thing."
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking of the puppets Houtu had given Yang Xinxin.
Houtu giving that thing to Yang Xinxin was essentially lending her hand to give it to Zhang Yi.
Undoubtedly, it was a tool prepared for this operation.
Houtu was unwilling, or unable, to leave Shengjing, and could only intervene in this way.
"Let's not rush it for now. Let's wait a little longer."
