Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1201: Sound Waves

Chapter 1201: Sound Waves

The purple light, carrying a hallucinogenic power, radiated from one of the King Worm's bodies, filling the entire cave with a nauseating, sickening purple hue.

Even though the illusion technique had been dispelled, seeing this light still made people dizzy and disoriented.

Zong Yue and the other two knew that if things continued like this, they would still be affected by the King Worm's illusions. So, the three of them decisively blocked out the external light.

However, doing so meant losing their vision, which would greatly weaken their combat power!

"Zhen Yuanzi, if this doesn't work, we should retreat first! We can't deal with this thing!"

Han Shanzuo shouted loudly.

They weren't Zatoichi; what were they supposed to fight with while blind like this?

Zong Yue's expression was terrifyingly grave. If they gave up, then he would have no choice but to release the Death Reaper of Love and utterly destroy this entire area!

Even the King Worm, with its superhuman ability index of 20,000 points, couldn't withstand the killing power of humanity's strongest weapon.

However, no one knew what consequences releasing the Death Reaper of Love in this mysterious place would bring. The contaminated area would also become a complete forbidden zone, and the underground Elemental Stone Vein would be rendered useless.

"The situation isn't that bad yet!"

Right at that moment, Zhang Yi's voice sounded in the ears of the three men.

"That thing doesn't seem to be feeling so great either. That last strike weakened its aura too."

The three men, Zong Yue and the others, were very surprised.

Li Changgong asked, "How can you tell?"

A faint smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

"Because its attacks right now aren't as strong as before!"

The three could sense that the King Worm's attacks hadn't stopped; it had been continuously firing energy cannons at them.

Yet, those attacks vanished mid-air before they could get close.

Without a doubt, Zhang Yi had blocked them using Manifold Phenomena.

"You... you can see its movements?"

Zhang Yi said, "I can't see the present, but I can see the future."

Hope blossomed in the hearts of Zong Yue and the other two.

"Alright then, what should we do? You take command!"

Li Changgong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He couldn't help but wonder, if that day, his duel with Zhang Yi hadn't been one where they stopped at the point of victory, but a life-or-death struggle, what would the outcome have been?

Although his superhuman ability was maxed out in attack power, the strength Zhang Yi had displayed in today's battle against the King Worm was far more comprehensive.

Zhang Yi said, "Good, it's settled then!"

"Zhen Yuanzi, Lu Ya, from now on, you two hold nothing back. Use every means at your disposal to pin it down!"

"I will find an opportunity to create an opening for Gouchen. Gouchen, don't think about anything else. When I tell you to strike, you just draw your blade and attack!"

"Remember, if you want to win now, you cannot hesitate in the slightest. You must trust me one hundred percent!"

Zong Yue immediately said, "Understood!"

Han Shanzuo: "Brother, no problem!"

After a moment of hesitation, Li Changgong also nodded.

"Then I entrust my life to you! Zhang Yi, you must be careful in your actions, don't act recklessly!"

"Don't worry."

Zhang Yi said calmly.

He could "see" the trajectories around him. Within a span of two seconds, the flow of all things was crystal clear to him.

And right now, the King Worm, split in two, indeed had its attack power significantly weakened compared to before.

A bold speculation formed in Zhang Yi's mind.

The King Worm possessed two cores!

Therefore, after being split in two, both of its bodies were its true form, but its power had also been diminished.

Blocking its attacks with his Manifold Phenomena didn't seem as difficult now.

Thus, Zhang Yi wasn't in a hurry to have Zong Yue and Han Shanzuo act.

He first contacted the people inside Jingwei's Shadow Space.

"Xinxin, are you there?"

Of course, the people in the Shadow Space were watching this heart-pounding battle, their hearts equally filled with tension.

Hearing Zhang Yi's voice, Yang Xinxin, Zhou Ke'er, and the others quickly replied, "We're here! Do you need any help?"

Zhang Yi said, "This thing has no eyes. Can you figure out what it relies on to see us?"

Encyclopedia Yang Xinxin provided the answer.

"Although we can't determine its exact species, since it's an underground creature, its methods for identifying objects are limited to the following few."

"First, using sound waves like bats do."

"Second, photoreceptor cells, where the skin itself receives light sources, but this is usually a method used by lower-level organisms."

"Third, sound."

"Fourth, scent."

...

Yang Xinxin analyzed point by point and gave Zhang Yi her opinion:

"The King Worm is already a high-level organism with considerable intelligence. Judging from its combat style, the highest probability is that it identifies things through sound wave feedback and sound."

Zhang Yi said, "We can't be the only ones going blind. Is there a way to make it unable to determine our position as well?"

While single-handedly blocking the King Worm's attacks, Zhang Yi calmly communicated with Xinxin and the others.

Thousands of Dimensional Gates from his Manifold Phenomena formed a massive barrier, layered upon layer, blocking the path in front of Zhang Yi and the others.

At this point, the King Worm's attacks found it extremely difficult to even break through a single gate.

Yang Xinxin immediately replied, "That's simple. I have sound wave emission devices here. We just need to detect whether the King Worm is emitting sound waves, and then we can create an interference frequency band based on that to disrupt its judgment."

Zhang Yi said, "Alright, I'll buy us time. You get started!"

As for sound, that was even easier to handle.

Zhang Yi first instructed Zong Yue and the other two to isolate themselves from external sounds. Then, he activated the combat suits' speaker systems and began broadcasting noise across multiple decibel frequencies towards the outside.

The noise attack indeed began to irritate the King Worm. It let out a "screech-screech" cry from its mouth and fired high-energy particle rays straight at the four of them.

"It seems it doesn't rely on sound to pinpoint our location." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zhang Yi obtained the result he wanted.

"CRACK—"

A Dimensional Gate was destroyed by the King Worm, but immediately, dozens of layers of Dimensional Gates appeared in front of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi wasn't in a hurry to counterattack. He waited quietly for Lu Keran to finish making the device.

The King Worm attacked them frantically, but its power was now severely weakened, far from what it was before.

The entire cave trembled, cut into pieces by its attacks. Large chunks of the Elemental Stone Vein, mixed with rock, fell into Zhang Yi's Dimensional Space.

Inside the Shadow Space, Lu Keran quickly detected the sound waves from the outside world and indeed managed to capture the frequency band emitted by the King Worm.

"We just need to create a corresponding interference frequency band!"

For Lu Keran, this kind of thing was a piece of cake.

Doing this was like using a bright light to blind a person.

After just a short minute, Lu Keran excitedly contacted Zhang Yi: "Brother, I've done it!"

"Good!"

Zhang Yi reached out his hand. An arm extended from his shadow, handing him a rather large sound wave emission device.
