Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 190 - Race Battle



Chapter 190: Race Battle

The sun gradually set, but the temperature in the desert was still high. It was also getting hotter. This was not because the temperature was really rising, but because the blood in people’s bodies was boiling.

The Ant Armies swarmed over and surrounded the Soaring Cloud City.

Not only were there soldiers behind the armored city wall, but there were also mutants. Compared to the silent and vigilant soldiers, mutants were not as disciplined.

“Look! What’s that?” A mutant pointed at a gigantic long ant in the distance. The ant’s body was very long. It looked like a huge centipede, but it had an ant’s head.

Someone replied, “It’s an Ant Dragon. It’s at least a Rare-ranked creature. Its defense is astonishing. There are countless Ant Soldiers hidden in its body. They will escort the Ant Soldiers until they reach the city wall. The Ant Soldiers will only be released when it’s determined that the cannons can’t hit them.”

The commander of the city guard shouted, “Electromagnetic Pulse Cannons, aim at the Ant Dragon. Fire!”

Countless gun muzzles appeared immediately by the center of the armored city wall. One after another, the barrels of the Electromagnetic Pulse Cannons extended out of the gun ports. However, instead of calling them barrels, it would be more accurate to say that they were two electromagnetic rectangular metal plates wrapped in electric bolts. The so-called Electromagnetic Pulse Cannons were used to shoot out magnetic needle-shaped artillery shells using the principle of electromagnetic acceleration. As the rapid speed brought about powerful kinetic energy, the penetrative power was very strong.

The electromagnetic pulse guns emitted a faint blue light and eventually turned into violent lightning. The soldier controlling the electromagnetic pulse guns pressed a button and countless electromagnetic artillery shells shot out. They turned into dazzling lightning and instantly entered the body of the Ant Dragon.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A few loud sounds came from the Ant Dragon’s back. The terrifying electromagnetic artillery penetrated its back and spine. Many Ant Dragons had their backs sink in and collapsed on the ground. More Ant Soldiers drilled their way out of their stomachs.

A mutant asked, “Who said that their defense is strong?”

Another mutant replied, “Their defense is very strong when referring to the battle between Ants. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to witness a battle between Ants. There was a kind of explosive Ant that was able to launch a Sulfuric Acid Bomb, but it was completely blocked by the Ant Dragon’s back armor. Unfortunately, although its back armor was powerful, it could not stop an electromagnetic cannonball with strong penetrative power.”

Someone sighed. “Technology is really powerful!”

While everyone was feeling happy, a half-collapsed building in the distance collapsed completely. A few mutant ants that were 11 to 12 meters tall appeared. These mutant ants were extremely fast. The electromagnetic pulse cannon could not hit them at all. Just as they were about to approach the armored city wall, the city guard commander shouted, “Use the Freezing Ray!”

Numerous Freezing Ray cannons were pushed out of the gun port. Soon, countless blue Freezing Rays shot out and immediately froze the ground. Endless Ant Soldiers were frozen into ice, and a few mutant ants were affected by the Freezing Rays. Half of their bodies were frozen, and their speed was greatly reduced.

The cannon shot most of the Ants on the periphery, but some Ant Soldiers still arrived in front of them. These Ant Soldiers were still at the cold weapon stage. They had six legs, and two of them had evolved into two hands. They were holding an iron shield in their left hand and an iron sword in their right hand as they charged toward the armored city wall.

The small gate of the armored city wall slowly opened. The city guards and mutants rushed out, and a large number of players were among them.

Humans and ants started fighting. Bullets flew everywhere, and the mutants’ frost, flames, and wind blades flew in every direction.

On the armored city wall stood a row of soldiers. Countless turrets rose from the top and attacked the ants in the distance. The turrets were not very technologically advanced. They were all firing by using artillery and burning bullets. They were very powerful. Many Ant Soldiers were blasted to death hundreds of meters away from the city wall.

At that moment, Wei Huo had already put the Epic-ranked mutant ant into the Ruyi Pagoda. Once the Epic-ranked mutant ant was put away, the mutant ants in the city had no leader. They immediately started fleeing in all directions. The mutants among the players attacked and killed a few fish that had escaped the net.

A few trucks drove over. There was a group of soldiers in the trucks. They immediately sneaked into the cave to rescue the humans. Fortunately, the mutant ants fled frantically into the distance. The humans who had been knocked out were left behind.

There was no need to mention the battle outside the city. Thanks to Wei Huo’s presence, the city had achieved a complete victory!

Everyone cheered. They squeezed their way to Wei Huo as if they wanted to see what the Epic-ranked human looked like.

A group of players squeezed into the crowd. They wanted to find Wei Huo as well, as they wanted to see if they could receive two quests.

However, the crowd was too dense for them to squeeze through.

“F*ck, the Epic-ranked human is right in front of me. Fortunately, I didn’t go to the city wall to kill monsters. I’ll be rich after receiving two quests!”

A player said, “We might be able to receive an Epic-ranked quest. Let me go!”

Someone shouted, “Why are you squeezing past people? Your chest has been squeezed flat!”

Someone made way for them. The players thought that they had a chance, but they then saw the two Senior Brothers and the fire-type mutant. The three of them walked toward Wei Huo, and everyone had to make way.

The combat power of those three was seen by everyone. They could not help but admire them. Although the fire-type mutant had been fleeing, he had successfully held back a mutant ant and prevented more casualties.

The three of them approached Wei Huo. They were very respectful, but only the Eldest Senior Brother could feel the aura of time coming from Wei Huo’s body. He asked respectfully, “May I ask if you’re a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Senior?”

The surrounding people were confused. Many young people widened their eyes in shock. “Are the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation realms real? Are there really Immortal Cultivators in our country?”

The Eldest Senior Brother said, “Foundation Establishment is just a saying. It comes from ‘Baopuzi’. In the realm of cultivation, we call it seeing the truth in one’s heart and understanding the truth. One has to dual cultivate with one’s life. One has to have a strong spirit and a strong physique. This is the foundation of cultivation, so we call it Foundation Establishment. Unfortunately, I’m old. I might not be able to establish a foundation in my lifetime.”

The Eldest Senior Brother was already over 70 years old. If he did not cultivate, he would not have had such a physique. However, his Qi and blood were still weak. Even if he reached the Epic stage, his Qi and blood would decline. Humans would also age unless they broke through to the Legendary stage.

Wei Huo was interested in the Daoist spells that the Eldest Senior Brother cultivated. The so-called Divine Attack Skill was actually a hint. The Golden Light Skill and Palm Lightning were both ways to utilize the imposing aura. They were not real light and lightning but semi-finished imposing auras. They were like thunder in a clear sky.

Someone shouted, “You think there’s lightning, but it’s just an illusion! Your subconscious is in a trance!”

However, if they reached the Epic stage, the Golden Light Skill would probably not be a barrier but a huge golden array. The Palm Lightning would probably be upgraded and become stronger.

The three of them surrounded Wei Huo and asked him for advice on how to become Epic creatures. The players pricked up their ears to figure out how to become Epic creatures.

However, at that moment, the humans and the Ants were engaged in a fierce battle outside the city. Wei Huo said, “Follow me and destroy the Ant Army. We’ll talk about everything else afterward.”

Wei Huo unleashed an imposing aura. The aura simulated the Epic-ranked mutant’s imposing aura, and there was a fake message in it. “The city is in chaos. Attack quickly!”

Wei Huo released the news of the liberation and coaxed the army into moving out. It would be best if he could lure out the Legendary-level enemies and kill them all!

This was a war between races. There was no mercy to speak of.
