Chapter 587: 【437】Devouring Advancement! A Sign of Great Fortune! (4K seeking monthly votes and recommendations)_2
Blood immediately spurted from his shoulder, revealing the stark whiteness of the underlying collarbone.
The warrior from the Fierce Tiger Legion couldn’t bear it any longer and let out a scream of agony. His kneeling knees received another brutal kick from the Giant Hammer King.
A “crack” signified a break!
The Giant Hammer King gave no chance for a response, swinging the heavy hammer and furiously smashing it into the other’s chest.
“Bang!”
In an instant series of blows, the warrior from the Fierce Tiger Legion was blasted away, his body landing twenty or so meters away, as dead as one could be.
...
“Next!”
The Giant Hammer King roared angrily.
On a slope above, the Dark Night King’s gaze was sharp, but deep inside, fear had begun to take root.
For them, their advantage lay in ranged attacks and agility.
However, in front of the Giant Hammer King, their attacks seemed powerless.
There was movement nearby.
Two figures mounted on giant tigers appeared.
When the Dark Night King saw the newcomers, he shifted his gaze from the scars on one’s face and remained silent, bowing his head.
Scarface looked into the distance.
His gaze settled on the Giant Hammer King, who was engaged in fierce battle ahead.
“Interesting,” the man in silver armor beside Scarface murmured with a light laugh and then turned to him, “You fought with him a few days ago, didn’t you notice how strong he was?”
“He’s only that way because of the power of the Mother God Stone. Without it, he’s nothing special,” Scarface said coldly, not minding that the Dark Night King was right there, and casually added, “You told me to wait for you, it’s been days, where is the thing I asked for?”
“I’ve got it, I’ve got it,” the man in silver armor quickly replied with a smile.
Scarface looked at him expressionlessly: “So where is it?”
“On the way, almost here,” the man in silver armor shamelessly claimed.
Scarface stared at him silently.
The man in silver armor didn’t feel awkward and said with a smile, “You know how precious that item is, getting it clean and out of the hands of those guys was harder than you think. But I can give you my word, it will arrive today.”
“For sure?” Scarface seemed to be looking forward to something.
Who would have known the man in silver armor would give an awkward smile.
“…”
Scarface turned and walked away.
Seeing him actually angered, the man in silver armor chuckled to himself.
“Don’t be mad, I said it would arrive today and it definitely… ”
“Piss off!”
Scarface’s curse came from a distance.
The man in silver armor smiled wryly and turned to the Dark Night King beside him.
The Dark Night King, well aware of the status of these two in the Fierce Tiger Legion, kept his head down as if he had neither heard nor seen anything.
The man in silver armor’s lips curled up slightly in satisfaction with the Dark Night King’s shrewdness. His mount, the giant tiger, received instructions and pursued Scarface.
No one noticed that shortly after the two left, the Dark Night King’s hands clenched tightly together.
…
“Pff!”
The War Lance directly pierced through a guard’s shoulder and forcefully pinned him against the mountainside.
“Crack!”
Another guard spurted blood violently.
His chest had been crushed.
Pei Jinye instantly took down two guards without giving the several guards from the Giant Hammer Legion any time to react, as thirteen longswords suddenly shot out from the sword box on his back.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
Thirteen streaks of sword light passed by in a flash.
They trapped the legion guards.
Under the trembling sword light, an angry roar was quickly drowned out.
Pei Jinye dragged these barely living legion guards like a terrifying beast hoarding food for winter.
The lid of the “heavens” closed with a “boom.”
Apart from a few traces of blood on the ground, it was as if no battle had ever taken place here.
But down the well…
Faintly, there seemed to echo the sounds of flesh and blood being devoured.
…
[New Extraordinary Talent: Giant·Warhammer]
(Can be synthesized to advance to Level 3, Yes/No?)
…
“Synthesize.”
A sensation of warmth appeared in his body, fleeting.
Having experienced Level 5 Extraordinary-Human Genes synthesis, he found it hard to feel much pleasure from a Level 3 synthesis.
He narrowed his gaze.
And after a moment, his eyes opened.
The content of the attribute panel was conspicuously updated.
…..
[New Extraordinary Ability: Giant·Warhammer]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability 1: Hammer Explosion]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability 2: War Intent Boiling (Body size increases by twofold, combat power stacks by 60%)]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability 3: Strengthen (Strengthens any one ability associated with that Extraordinary Genes)]
…
Pei Jinye’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
“Another Strengthen,” he muttered.
Whether it was Hammer Explosion or War Intent Boiling, Jinye had already tried them in the real world, and he had to admit that strengthening either of these abilities would be a significant boost for him.
With his recently acquired Extraordinary Fifth Rank Attribute Values, he was already able to go toe-to-toe with Extraordinary Sixth Rank beings under his own enhanced abilities.
Now to Strengthen again…
“This savage feeling… I quite like it!” he declared.
He refocused his gaze.
Jinye sensed that the battles outside were gradually coming to an end.
The Fierce Tiger Legion had completely surrounded the Giant Hammer Legion, and the Dark Night Army’s suicide squad still fought on relentlessly… but it was clear to the naked eye that two-thirds of the suicide squad of the Dark Night Army had been depleted over these days, and the remaining third was no longer sufficient to deliver a fatal blow to the Giant Hammer Legion.
If it wasn’t for the warriors of the Fierce Tiger Legion holding on, perhaps the vanguard of the Dark Night Army would have already fled in total disarray.
On the battlefield, the Giant Hammer King was covered in blood, but he looked around dominantly.
Apart from him, both the suicide soldiers of the Dark Night Army and the warriors of the Fierce Tiger Legion lay in pools of blood.
He lifted his heavy hammer high.
The warriors of the Giant Hammer Legion started to rally behind him.
The Giant Hammer King gazed towards a distant hillock.
The Dark Night King hated him to his very core.
This prolonged warfare of over a month had depleted his tribe by three or four parts out of ten, and if the battle continued this way, merging into the Fierce Tiger Legion was the only minor possibility left for his tribe.
But then, even as members of the Fierce Tiger Legion, they would only be second-class citizens.
Without the backing of a vast tribe, their children might be designated as suicide soldiers, and their women might be seized by the mightier warriors of the Fierce Tiger Legion.
This was no different from slavery.
He detested the strength of the Giant Hammer King, and he resented that man in silver armor from the Fierce Tiger Legion… He knew that the man intended to let the Giant Hammer Legion wear down the Dark Night Army’s strength.
But he could no longer bear it.
He was powerless to change it.
The Dark Night Army had no way of turning back.
Retreat meant death.
Not retreating meant only some would die.
“I have let you down,” he lamented internally.
The Dark Night King sighed to himself.
His gaze sharpened once more as he met the Giant Hammer King’s eyes and mocked him, “How much energy is left in the Mother God Stone? The real combat power of the Fierce Tiger Legion has not yet appeared, do you think you can withstand it?”
Clutching the iron hammer, the Giant Hammer King coldly replied, “Even if my Giant Hammer Legion dies in battle, we will never live on our knees! If we fight to the death, I might still respect you.”
The Dark Night King slowly shook his head said, “It’s meaningless. Even if I die, the Fierce Tiger Legion won’t spare you… I admit I underestimated you before, and all that we’ve suffered now is a punishment from the heavens, but my people will still survive.”
Before he could finish.
The Giant Hammer King roared angrily, interrupting him.
“Kill!”
Under his lead, the Giant Hammer Legion charged.
The Dark Night King narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Ask the Fierce Tiger Legion for reinforcements!”
…
Meanwhile.
Two figures appeared above the well.
One dressed in silver armor, the other clad in black armor with a scar across his face.
The latter clearly reluctant.
But the former cajoled him convincingly back, clicking his tongue in wonder, “This place is rather unusual, don’t you think?”
Scarface glanced at where the Purple Gemstone had been placed.
Seeing this, the man in silver armor chuckled lightly, “This Giant Hammer Legion has more depth than we imagined. What do you think is beneath this well?”
But Scarface frowned and urged, “Hurry up and seal the Mother God Stone of the Giant Hammer Legion. Once we’ve dealt with the Giant Hammer King, you can study this accursed place for as long as you want.”
“Alright, alright,” the man in silver armor surrendered with raised hands.
The two passed the courtyard well in turn.
Beneath the well, a pair of huge fiery red eyes slowly opened.
A turtle shell appeared within a flip of the hand.
Today’s journey, a sign of great fortune!
