Chapter 503: Chapter 352 Yarko’s Guess_2
Most of the high-rise buildings had collapsed, and those that hadn’t were perforated by blood tendrils and blood rain, looking like a honeycomb riddled with holes.
The entire city seemed as though it had endured a massive tsunami and tornado, turning into a field of ruins.
When Su Han had taken action, he hadn’t held back much. Now, having the Tree Domain Troops clean up the battlefield was merely to clear the bodies of high-order Lizardmen.
The rest would eventually be buried.
After all, Ningzhou City was the battlefield Su Han had chosen to trap the Lizardmen.
His gaze shifted slightly as he activated his Spirit Meld Talent, connecting with the Tree Domain’s small Star Torch Matrix, and instantly entering the Spiritual World.
...
The ruins of Ninghai City were projected directly into his senses within the Spiritual World, with Su Han standing on the streets of the ruins, the entire city appearing utterly desolate and decayed.
About a few minutes later, several black vortexes abruptly appeared on the streets.
Led by Li Wenyuan, six people emerged from them one after another.
Seeing the ruins of Ningzhou City, their expressions changed drastically.
Such a level of destruction, even if it were a monster invasion, would hardly reach this extent.
“Su Han, is this… this Ningzhou City? How are you guys doing?”
Qin Henghu was aware of Su Han’s march plan and knew about the siege on Ningzhou City, so he was the most anxious.
If Ningzhou City was destroyed to this extent, then the losses for both the Tree Domain and the Southwest Military Preparedness Force must be severe.
“Don’t worry, I caused this mess in Ningzhou City,”
Su Han explained slowly, “Ningzhou City was the gathering place for the summoning of three Great Demons, with tens of thousands of Lizardmen. To resolve this quickly, I had to handle it roughly.”
Hiss
Upon hearing the number, Li Wenyuan’s face involuntarily changed, knowing that every Great Demon summoned, given the current circumstances, was at least a top existence among the fourth-order beings.
Not to mention, the gathering of hundreds of thousands of Lizardmen was no simple number.
“Were the losses significant?”
“There were hardly any casualties; we should have almost rescued around a hundred thousand survivors.”
Su Han shook his head slightly and then looked toward Deng Guanshan from Mo City, “Master Deng, the Star Torch should be almost set up on your end, right?”
“It’s all set up, and the Psychics have rested for a day or two, getting ready to conserve their energy.”
Su Han spent roughly ten days on the Demon Promotion for his three Angels, and with the current situation dragging on for another day or two, Mo City had ample time to complete the final arrangements.
“Are we ready to initiate the plan?”
Deng Guanshan looked at Su Han, who then turned his gaze to the others, “Gentlemen, are all the military and construction preparations in place? Although the main torch is with me, when the Star Torch is lit, your sides will more or less attract some monsters’ attention.”
Li Wenyuan said, “Fenglu Base is all set, and I am ready as the main force for suppression. Additionally, nuclear bombs, sub-core psionic projectiles, and a Mechanical Giant Spirit God named Zhong Kui are prepared.”
Fenglu Base was indeed the gathering place for the most numerous and highest scientific research talents in Xia Country, and when the apocalypse erupted, their emergency plans were activated fastest and preserved most completely.
Once the technical data were interlinked, based on their original capabilities, they rapidly modified and upgraded the psionic exoskeletons, making it entirely feasible to build a Mechanical Giant Spirit.
However, Su Han was surprised by the name they chose for the Mechanical Giant Spirit, which was Zhong Kui instead of names like Huangdi.
Li Wenyuan smiled and said, “The area around Fenglu Base is mostly populated by the Undead Race; calling it Zhong Kui is more professionally appropriate.”
Li Wenyuan rarely made a joke, and Liu Rulong and the others then also spoke up.
“East Sea Base is ready; I’ve already advanced to fourth-order, and prepared thirty psionic exoskeleton mechas, nuclear bombs, sub-core psionic projectiles, and have moved the Star Torch to Satellite City – Liuwan Town.”
Liu Rulong’s industrial base and talent weren’t as developed as Fenglu Base, so it was impossible to replicate a Mechanical Giant Spirit in a short time.
However, under the new guidance of the strengthening drugs provided by Bai Qilan, they focused on transforming the Sea God Gene.
Using several sub-core psionic projectiles, they hunted a fourth-order ancient deep-sea serpent, completing the optimization of the genetic drug, and achieved an advancement through targeted Dragon Transformation.
Though he spoke calmly, the agony behind it was not something that could be easily described in a few sentences.
The transformation and upgrading of the first-generation drugs brought unimaginable severe pain.
“Kakta Base is ready…”
“Lingzhou Base is ready…”
Jiang BeiWu and Ouyang Qing both gave Su Han a firm response, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
“Since that’s the case, the Star Torch will start charging in five hours.”
….
“Damn it, what’s going on with Bruzzak?”
In Lingzhou City, Langmuluo stood atop the altar, his eyes flashing with rage.
Just a short while ago, his contact with Bruzzak had suddenly been severed, and the power of the Great Demon Mark had also vanished.
This gave him an ominous premonition.
Humm humm
The Lizard God Statue suddenly started to tremble, and then the phantoms of Yarko and Xi Kui suddenly appeared beside Langmuluo.
“Hmm? Langmuluo, your emissary hasn’t gotten into trouble too, has he?”
Yarko was the first to notice Langmuluo’s expression and asked.
“You two as well?”
“Xirela and I have lost contact, and it’s the same with Xi Kui’s emissary, Selu.”
Yarko briefly explained but his expression didn’t show any sign of anger; it seemed extremely calm.
He was naturally cunning and indifferent, and unlike Langmuluo, who had just lost two emissaries, he had only lost one and had already mentally prepared for it.
“Three emissaries lost contact all at once, don’t tell me you don’t know what this means?”
The decision made by the three Great Demons was to gather in Ningshou City to resist the human offensive.
Every Great Demon Emissary had Pseudo-Fifth Order strength, which meant that unless it was a Fifth-Order, nobody could easily eliminate them.
“It’s simple, the opposite side’s Fifth-Order Great Demon made a move,” Yarko said blandly, “Our guess was correct; the humans have sided with a Great Demon of the Great Blood Sea and obtained the Great Demon Mark. However, it shouldn’t be strong.”
“What do you mean?”
“Before Xirela lost contact, she sent me information that it was a Great Demon Emissary human who suddenly acted. His strength was not weak, not inferior to her own.”
Yarko’s eyes flickered, his beastly pupils emitting a cold light, then he said, “They were just about to begin fighting with that human when no message from the Great Demon came through, then suddenly contact was lost; they might have been ambushed by the Great Demon.”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
Yarko’s analysis wasn’t without reason; after all, if a Great Demon had to deal with someone below Fifth-Order, he could have just suppressed them directly.
There was absolutely no need to send out a human emissary like ‘Su Han.’
And after being sent out, no real fight even occurred before they suddenly lost contact.
One against three, plus more than a dozen Fourth-Order combatants, that human alone definitely couldn’t have done it.
So the only possibility was that a Great Demon had acted.
He didn’t act directly but sent a decoy to attract attention, and then ambushed them.
The actions of this Great Demon were somewhat suspicious, at least he wasn’t very strong.
Perhaps suppressing three Lizardman Great Demon Emissaries was not a problem, but he absolutely feared them in a one-on-one fight.
“Again, your conjecture,” Langmuluo muttered, then said, “What do you want to do, with a Great Demon around, it’s not easy to open up the surrounding area’s space.”
“The three of us combining forces…” Yarko was about to state their strategy when his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately closed his eyes to sense, “This… this light, is it the humans’… Star Torch?”
In the Spiritual World, a bright light gradually brightened — not only he saw it, but Xi Kui and Langmuluo saw it too.
“Really bold.”
Langmuluo sneered repeatedly, directly saying, “Gather my subordinate Lizardman Tribes; the light has become visible, and in a while, it will become even brighter, enough to weaken the barrier and guide the direction, and we will directly descend.”
The Star Torch light towards Ningshou City grew increasingly bright, exactly where Bruzzak and the others had gone missing.
Under such circumstances, how could Langmuluo and the others just sit still.
Although Yarko’s face showed surprise, he also nodded and said, “Fine, we descend together. I want one-third of the Great Demon’s Origin.”
“Split evenly among the three of us.”
“Agreed.”
