Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 193
Chapter 193: The Ant Race’s Legendary Creature
Wei Huo sighed. Ma Tengyun was indeed a Legendary being. He might be the future human emperor, but there were two other candidates like him in the Northern Continent.
“Where is your City Lord now?” Wei Huo asked.
Everyone was stunned. They knew that Wei Huo was going to rescue him. The commander hurriedly handed over a tracking device. A red dot appeared on the tracking device. It was located in the southeast.
Zhao Pingfan stood up and walked in front of Wei Huo. He then said respectfully, “The City Lord went out this time to find a precious mineral to complete the Soaring Cloud City’s Heaven Peak Plan.”
Wei Huo had already noticed the 16 bumps on the armored city wall. It seemed like the higher-ups of the Soaring Cloud City had also noticed it. Although the armored city wall of the Soaring Cloud City was tough, it had left two holes—one in the sky and one in the ground. If the sky and ground could be repaired, the city would be called a steel fortress.
It was getting late. The sun gradually set, and dark clouds slowly gathered.
Wei Huo put away his tracking device and pretended to be heading southeast to rescue the City Lord. However, at that moment, a Black Dragon’s head appeared in the dark clouds in the sky. A terrifying dragon’s might was emitted continuously.
Wei Huo pretended to look at the Black Dragon. He spread his wings, and flew into the sky toward the Black Dragon.
Wei Huo and the Black Dragon hid in the dark clouds. Moments later, the Black Dragon roared.
The people of the Soaring Cloud City were trembling. Some of them were feeling despair. The Ant Soldiers had been repelled, but another Black Dragon had appeared. Why was the Soaring Cloud City experiencing such a calamity? Was the City Lord going to die?
However, no one knew that the Black Dragon had been released by Wei Huo.
When Ma Tengyun had gone out to search for ores, the Ants had immediately attacked. They had even discovered Ma Tengyun’s whereabouts. There had to be a spy among the humans!
Wei Huo thought of the Body-Breaking Worms. If the Body-Breaking Worms continued living in a human’s body, they could indeed act as spies. They could also use the Ants’ telepathic ability to spread the news.
That was why Wei Huo had decided to act again. He wanted the terrifying Black Dragon to appear and pretend to attack the humans while he pretended to be held back by the Black Dragon.
Wei Huo flew above the dark clouds and sat on the Black Dragon’s back. He used the Legendary Card of the God Annihilating Beast. The God Annihilating Beast transformed into Wei Huo’s form and flew southeast with the tracking device.
Wei Huo sent the God Annihilating Beast to rescue the City Lord while he stayed behind.
The Black Dragon kept roaring above the dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The Black Dragon flew past from time to time and formed a temporary Black Dragon image on the ground.
Wei Huo stared at the Soaring Cloud City and waited for the Ant Race’s Legendary creature to appear. If it did not appear, it could only mean that the Ants had somehow relied on their cowardice to reach the Legendary stage.
At that moment, everyone was feeling despair. They had just repelled the Ant Race’s army when an extremely powerful Black Dragon had appeared. Could humans be destined to be plagued by calamities?
Although the people were in chaos, the higher-ups were still calm. Zhao Pingfan told the mutants and special forces soldiers, “The Epic-ranked human is facing a huge enemy. We can’t save the City Lord. We have to move personally!”
Then, he looked at the two brothers. “You two! According to the news, the City Lord is being chased by an Epic-ranked monster. I will not force you. However, if you are willing to rescue him, the entire Soaring Cloud City will be grateful!”
After saying that, Zhao Pingfan personally led the way southeast to rescue the City Lord. The Eldest Senior Brother and Junior Brother looked at each other and took a step forward. The Junior Brother said, “We cultivate in the Dao. If the country is not in danger, we will go up the mountain to cultivate. If the country is in danger, we will enter the world to rescue the people. We do not seek fame or wealth. We only seek peace!”
The two of them joined the rescue team. The team gathered and was about to move southeast. However, just as they exited the city gate, a voice came from afar. “You don’t have to go. It’s impossible for you to survive being chased by my five disciples!”
Zhao Pingfan and the others were shocked. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man with a crutch standing on the top of a small mountain. They were too far away, so they could not see the person’s face clearly. They could not tell if he was a human or a demon.
A subordinate handed Zhao Pingfan a pair of binoculars. Zhao Pingfan picked it up and his hands started trembling uncontrollably.
The helmet worn by the special forces soldiers had a long range of vision. They had also seen the old man’s appearance. The special forces soldiers felt their scalps go numb and their hair stand on end. They immediately raised their guns and aimed in that direction.
The few people with average eyesight could not understand why the people around them had such a huge reaction.
However, a few players who had accepted the rescue mission had already checked the old man’s information.
“F*ck, why is it another big shot with a question mark?”
“F*ck, another sick one!”
They knew very well that the previous unknown Big Boss had just suppressed several Epic-ranked creatures.
“Roar!” The Black Dragon tried to make its presence felt in the dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds. From time to time, the Black Dragon flew past. Occasionally, violent collisions could be heard. It seemed like it was showing how terrifying the battlefield in the sky was.
The people of the Soaring Cloud City knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes. They kept kowtowing and praying. “Please, we humans will never lose!”
The old man with the crutch started approaching the Soaring Cloud City. Every step he took caused the ground to shake. Zhao Pingfan’s face was pale, and his hands were trembling. “That’s a humanoid demon. I sensed a monstrous demonic aura. Why is the Soaring Cloud City so plagued by disasters?”
Everyone was crying bitterly. Why were humans in so much trouble? Why had they provoked such a powerful enemy when they had just reached the Epic stage?
The Great Demon said calmly, “Today, I will take over the Soaring Cloud City. Those who submit will be spared!”
The demonic aura behind the Great Demon soared. At that moment, the sun was setting, and the night was getting darker. Only a purple light appeared behind the Great Demon. As the sky was completely shrouded by dark clouds, the purple light became the only color in the world.
However, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Black Dragon roars were heard from time to time.
Zhao Pingfan’s teeth were trembling. However, he had no choice but to go forward and ask the Great Demon, “Who are you?”
The demon replied slowly, “I’m not human.”
Everyone was speechless.
However, the Great Demon’s next sentence stirred boundless fear in everyone’s hearts. The Great Demon said slowly, “I’m a Legendary Ant. I’m here to take over the Soaring Cloud City today.”
“Legendary Ant!” Everyone was shocked.
However, some people did not believe it. “It can’t be a Legendary creature. Rare creatures are like trucks, and Epic creatures are like small mountains. A Legendary one is probably as big as an island. Only humans have a Connate Dao Body, so their bodies will not grow. This demon might be a half-demon with the bloodline of a human. Its strength is similar to the Epic stage of humans!”
Everyone was enlightened. “No wonder he speaks the human language.”
The Legendary Ant shook its head as it walked in. “The Legendary stage allows one to control molecular atoms freely. It’s just that a human’s body is close to a Dao Body, so it’s transformed into a half-human body. In reality, I can still transform into my original form and crush your Soaring Cloud City!”
The Ant Race’s Legendary creature was boundless. Every step it took caused the ground to shake. Everyone was terrified. Even if this demon was not a Legendary creature, it was definitely an existence comparable to an Epic-ranked creature. It could not be underestimated.
Someone said, “Only an Epic-ranked human can deal with this demon!”
The Junior Brother took a step forward. “Don’t be arrogant. When the Epic-ranked human kills the Black Dragon, you will be next!”
The Legendary Ant smiled faintly. “He’s only at the Epic stage. If he can survive three moves from me, I will spare his life. I will brand this with my seal and let him take charge of this city.”
As soon as the Ant Race’s Legendary creature finished, the Black Dragon in the dark clouds roared and flew southeast.
A hole appeared in the dark clouds, and Wei Huo slowly descended through it. He looked at the Legendary Ant and said calmly, “I’ve been acting for a long time. You finally dared to come out.”
The Legendary Ant frowned. “How dare a mere Epic-ranked creature speak so wildly?”
It had yet to finish its sentence. Could there be an ambush?
