Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 520 - 255: Grand Priest’s Deduction—Li Hao and Su An’s First Clash
"It is estimated that they went inside the ruins to hunt Tier Two Corpse Wolves, activated by the radiation of the Tier Three body of the Wolf King, the mindless existence."
Upon this introduction, the priest’s expression suddenly changed slightly. He lowered his voice and continued:
"Back then, when the Fiery Sun Servants encountered the Wanderers, each one appeared flustered and out of breath."
"After questioning them, they realized that the forces in Oasis Town seemed to have caused a catastrophic event inside the underground shelter..."
"This even alarmed the wolf pack in the Fallen Wolf Valley. Shortly after they left, a troop of Giant Wolves arrived at the entrance to investigate."
"During this time, many humans were also killed, seemingly due to the wolves venting their anger over something. The wolf pack appeared extremely furious, and as described by these low-level Wanderers, there was even a trace of fear in the fierce expressions of the Giant Wolves..."
"So once the wolf pack finished their investigation, they quickly left again, presumably to report the matter."
After listening to his subordinate’s report, the Grand Priest squinted his eyes slightly, turning his gaze slowly towards the south.
There lay the crossroad of Oasis Avenue, which was also the ruins of the ancient Zhoukou City.
As he had just entered the state of Fiery Sun Possession, he sensed a massive presence of evolutionary forms there, numbering in the tens of thousands.
For so many evolutionary forms to gather in the Wasteland, particularly near a dangerous place like the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area...
Although certain top forces among humans can achieve this, as long as their rulers weren’t out of their minds, they wouldn’t make such a decision. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Deploying ten thousand evolutionary forms requires astronomical numbers just to sustain the massive troop’s daily consumption; it requires reserving over a thousand tons of Evolutionary Meat.
Moreover, these evolutionary forms carried a slight taint of Fiery Sun Curse Energy, which can only be picked up after lingering long on the edges of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area.
Otherwise, the Grand Priest wouldn’t have detected densely packed light points within his perceptive field.
In sum, the thousands of evolutionary forms appearing suddenly at the southern crossroad are unlikely from a raiding party gathered by the Life Farm...
It is more probable that they come from the Fallen Wolf Valley, led by a Clan Leader level Tier Two Giant Wolf, representing the entire Desert Wolf Race.
The Grand Priest already understood the connection between the Taishan Ruins and the Fallen Wolf Valley, and he was aware of the reason that the Desert Wolves have continued up to this day after losing the Tier Three Wolf King’s protection.
Apart from the legacy of the Fallen Wolf Valley, there was also the compensation agreement the All Gods made using the Wolf King back in the day.
As long as the Wolf Race doesn’t attack settlements of the top forces, no one would target the wolf pack’s reproduction and survival, and the empty areas of the Wasteland are their habitats.
This is why the Tier Three treasure trove of Fallen Wolf Valley hasn’t been targeted by large human forces, and the Desert Wolf Race has kept the agreement without crossing the line.
But now, the thousands of Desert Wolves gathering and ambushing the crossroad, obviously aiming for the upcoming Oasis Town...
Initiating an attack on Oasis Town would mean that the Desert Wolf Race breaks the agreement, allowing any level of evolvers or forces to take action against them in the future.
The cunning wolf pack must have a reason for making such a decision.
In the Grand Priest’s view, only two possibilities prompt the wolves to blatantly break the agreement that protects them.
First, the Desert Wolf Race is about to or has already birthed a new Tier Three Wolf King, possessing the strength to protect themselves.
This eliminates the need for top forces’ promises, and taking action against Oasis Town can solidify and expand the power of the wolf pack.
Second, something significant has happened in the Taishan Ruins and the Fallen Wolf Valley, one that could lead the wolf pack to an impending disaster.
This event would also destroy the foundational logic of the protection agreement, causing the agreement to become automatically invalid.
The foundation of the promise given by the All Gods was the Tier Three Wolf King’s body, which polluted the evolving god within the ruins and formed a seal, eternally subduing that being in the underground ruins and cutting off the path to divinity, turning it into a twisted and aberrant Evil God.
If such a thing occurred causing the physical seal to cease existence or become ineffective.
And the previously sealed underground Evil God is about to break free from its bonds and rise above to the Wasteland world...
In such a time, agreements and protection naturally turn into scraps of paper.
Facing imminent retribution from the Evil God, the Desert Wolf Race must swiftly strengthen its power and simultaneously nurture successors capable of inheriting the deceased Wolf King’s Tier Three Origin power to survive the ensuing chaos.
With this in mind, after connecting it with the content just reported by his subordinate priests, the Grand Priest is almost certain that the situation the Desert Wolves face is the latter...
It is clear that the forces of the Salvation Army or Oasis Town must have tampered with the Taishan Ruins, causing the originally stable seal to be directly broken.
Now, the Evil God has likely already escaped from the underground and come to the surface. After accumulating enough power, once the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area shifts and the next Wasteland Year arrives...
This mighty Evil God will inevitably launch an all-out revenge against the All Gods who once conspired against it.
By then, the entire Wasteland World will plunge into darkness and upheaval.
However, this could potentially be a favorable situation for the Fiery Sun Divine Sect. In some ways, the more turbulence, the more beneficial it would be for the Divine Sect.
During the prime of the Fiery Sun Divine Sect was the Old Calendar’s Dark Ages until after the War of the Gods, several deities completed their metamorphosis, stabilizing the world situation, which subsequently compressed the space for the Fiery Sun Divine Sect.
This led to several joint suppressions, gradually reducing them from a previous top-level force to an ordinary first-class force.
Ultimately, six hundred years ago, during the Fiery Sun Siege launched by the Holy Spring Sect, all remaining Tier Three Divine Envoys of the Divine Sect perished...
This decline made the Fiery Sun Divine Sect completely obscure, gradually vanishing from the Wasteland.
Only a group of uninitiated Outer Disciples left pretended to be the Divine Sect, swaggering and deceiving others.
Now, with this opportunity emerging, the Fiery Sun Divine Sect might seize this wave to rise again and restore its former glory!
It’s a pity that the Grand Priest is about to return to the Divine Kingdom and won’t be able to witness this day personally.
What regretted him even more is that among the contemporary Divine Sect, no disciple has the talent to ascend to Tier Three Divine Envoy, becoming a spearhead to expand the territories.
At this moment, the Grand Priest suddenly raised his head, looking towards the southeast, where Oasis Town flashed with divine power.
Two dazzling signals, one of which even if one was a remnant fish from the Tier Two after the siege battle, the other signal might not be a Fiery Sun Evolution talent capable of directly bearing divine power!
Initially thinking of staying here to see after Oasis Town arrived...
Now, just thinking that the Desert Wolf Race, numbering in tens of thousands of Evolved Desolate Wolves, is about to loot and slaughter Oasis Town made the Grand Priest uneasy.
He then spoke:
"We can no longer wait. I must first go to Oasis Town."
"These Desert Wolves leaving the Fallen Wolf Valley did not retreat into the Wasteland as they usually do, but ambushed at the crossroad Oasis Town must pass."
"They intend to launch an attack on Oasis Town."
"Oasis Town is under threat from both within and outside, with the life farm having placed the usurp cards within and tens of thousands of Desert Wolf packs waiting outside..."
"Even if Oasis Town only has a Tier Two Priest, there is a necessity to bring him out."
"After all, he is an old priest who has experienced completing the legacy, even if his strength doesn’t match ours, his knowledge and insights surpass yours, escorting him back could play a certain role in the future."
"Once I leave, the Divine Sect can only rely on you to hold it up."
After saying that, the Grand Priest then prepared to rise, leaving the ruin site to head towards Oasis Avenue.
Beside him, two priests exchanged looks, then one stepped forward:
"Let me escort you to Oasis Town. With many parties converging on Oasis Town, there are far too many variables on the way, if anything happens, it would be easy for the effort to go to waste."
The Grand Priest pondered this and nodded.
Hence, the three of them bid farewell.
The nearly dying Grand Priest then walked rapidly towards the southeast, supported by the Mid-Level 26 Priest.
Meanwhile, at the arena before Oasis Town.
The Grand Priest, transformed into a Desert Wolf Warrior, successfully dismembered the overburdened Rock Horse Armor.
Realizing a change in situation, Li Hao immediately donned the Rock Horse Armor, entering the arena to intervene.
Yet, he was quickly interrupted by Father Su An, prepared in advance and clad in Mid-Tier Two Undying Holy Armor.
And in his hand, he held a spear forged from Alloy Wolf Bone!
A blaze of sparks slid across the shoulder guard of the Rock Horse Armor made of Tao Steel.
Leaving a one-centimeter deep crack!
