“I-I’ll do my best,” Leaf said nervously.
“So, what should I do now?”
“Sleep.”
Meng Chao said, “Use the breathing technique that I taught you to relax your muscles and nerves. Enter a state where you are partially asleep, partially awake, and partially in a trance.
“Then, leave everything to us to handle!”
..
The confrontation between the two fiercest generals of the Great Horn Army had reached its limit.
Both Red Bear and Mountain Dog were unwilling to attack their comrades, who had fought by their side half a day ago.
Even though they had summoned their totem armors and filled their maces and machetes that could slice hair with spirit power…
They still gritted their teeth and tried their best to control every fiber of muscle and nerve endings in their bodies.
They only hoped that the other party would give in before the volcano in their bodies completely erupted.
However, that was impossible, and they could not drag matters on indefinitely.
A totem armor was a bloodthirsty weapon that possessed spirituality. It was like a demon blade that reaped souls. Once it was unsheathed, it would never obediently return to its scabbard unless it drank enough fresh blood.
The spirit energy in the two iron-blooded generals’ limbs and bones was at a boiling point. It urgently required a satisfying massacre to release itself.
Otherwise, their bodies would either spontaneously combust and turn into demonic human-shaped torches, or they would go crazy and turn into crazy origin warriors.
The two of them were very clear on this point.
The depths of the burning eyes hidden behind the ice-cold mask revealed an indescribable sadness and despair.
The flames of spirit energy on the spiked club and the full moon scimitar were flowing everywhere like oil that had been ignited. They were about to merge and trigger an even more intense reaction.
The elite soldiers behind the two of them constricted their spines into giant bows that were as tight as they could be. Even their spinal nerves were creaking as if the bowstring had been pulled to its limit.
It was as if the bowstring had been broken in the next second, or thousands of arrows had left the bowstring and pierced their hearts.
Just when everyone’s pupils had shrunk into the tip of a needle, the air’s temperature rose to the point that it was on the verge of burning, and the high-speed friction between their vitality magnetic fields caused the shrill howls of ghosts and wolves to reverberate within the dense forest.
A soldier suddenly staggered toward the center of the invisible storm as if he was drunk and dancing. Two iron-blooded generals who were confronting each other were walking toward him.
This was a very young soldier.
He was so young that he was almost childish.
A few hairs had not grown on his thin lips, but his big eyes were still shining with the unique light of a teenager. Even if his whole body was covered with mud and blood stains, it could not hide the vitality and elasticity of his skin, he was like a child who had not been squeezed dry by the cruel fate.
However, it was this child who did not fit in with the hostile atmosphere. Before everyone’s increasingly shocked gaze, he staggered forward until he was within ten steps of Red Bear and Mountain Dog. Even then, he still did not stop.
“How is this possible?”
“This, what is going on with this kid?”
All the elite soldiers watched him with bulging eyes.
The veterans who had fought with Red Bear and Mountain Dog for many years, especially, knew how terrifying both generals who were equipped with totem armor were.
The intense killing intent that emanated from the two iron-blooded warriors and their spirit magnetic fields that were raging like magma, constantly rubbed against and collided with each other. It created rings of visible spirit energy ripples that formed a suffocating pressure.
It was like a confrontation between two bloodthirsty tyrannosaurs.
It was definitely not something that little rat people like them could easily insert themselves into.
Even the personal guards who usually stayed close to Red Bear and Mountain Dog only dared to stand ten steps behind them at this moment.
How could this unremarkable-looking little guy withstand the pressure of tearing his skin, collapsing his chest, and locking his heart, and walk step by step all the way there?
Even Red Bear and Mountain Dog noticed the overly young soldier.
They also “saw” the ripples of spirit energy that emanated around his body like the blossoming of a crystal bud.
The two iron-blooded generals raised their eyebrows at same time.
“…Leaf?”
They all had a deep impression of the young man, whose face was as young as a child’s, but who was not afraid of death on the battlefield. He reminded them of the elegance of their youth, and they were able to call him by his name.
However, no matter how outstanding the young man’s performance usually was, it did not explain his extremely strange behavior right then. It did not explain why four gleaming eyes, which were as bright as fireworks, materialized from the depths of his eyes. Red Bear and Mountain Dog subconsciously became more alert, but they also felt a sense of familiarity.
However, before they could investigate further, Leaf began to twitch crazily.
His limbs moved frantically on their own, and he danced like a high-ranking Great Horn Army priest who had received a mysterious and complex revelation from the Ancient Dream Saintess.
Yet, his facial expression became more and more relaxed, showing a strange tranquility.
His eyes were clear and empty, like two springs that were constantly spewing light, or like two caves that could absorb the souls of everyone around them.
His lips kept trembling as if he was telling everyone a huge secret at a hundred times the normal speed.
Yet, no matter how hard Red Bear, Mountain Dog, and all the elite soldiers pricked up their ears, they could not hear a single sound.
They only felt.
The top of their heads.
It was extremely numb and itchy.
It was as if a mysterious electric current had descended from the sky and entered the depths of their brains through the cracks in their skulls.
Red Bear and Mountain Dog blinked their eyes desperately.
With the enhancement of the totem battle armor, they could see information that was a hundred times more abundant than that of ordinary soldiers.
This included the bright flames that blossomed from Leaf’s eyes, which gradually expanded into a dazzling ball of light. It spread out in circles of extremely gorgeous light ripples in all directions.
Wherever the ripples went, the brains of all the soldiers seemed to be ignited. Their mouths, noses, eyes, ears, and ears were all immersed in the furry ball of light.
When Red Bear and Mountain Dog’s visions were covered by the milky-white light curtain, they could not see the world around them clearly. Gradually, the light curtain disappeared like the ebbing tide.
They were extremely surprised to find that the Leaf before their eyes had completely changed his appearance.
He had deformed big horns, swollen and festering skin, the tumors that flowed with pus, and incomplete limbs that exposed his black bones.
The young rat had turned into the Zombie Rat God before everyone in the blink of an eye!
“This is…”
Red Bear and Mountain Dog were not the only ones. Everyone else had the same illusion too, and they were all stunned.
Since last night, countless people had seen the Zombie Rat God in their nightmares. They had seen the his horrifying and disgusting appearance.
That was why the order was broken and people were terrified.
This was the first time that the image of the Zombie Rat God had appeared to everyone in broad daylight.
Deep in the Zombie Rat God’s hollow eye sockets, there were only specks of light struggling in the shriveled eyeballs that had been gnawed away by insects. They were like candles that were barely burning in a storm and could be extinguished at any time.
To everyone, the dim light in the Zombie Rat God’s eyes was like the Great Horn Army’s last hope. They were on the verge of death and were extremely dim.
“Look, do you see that, Red Bear? This is the clearest revelation that the Big-horned Rat God has given to us!”
Mountain Dog was the first to react. He pointed at the Big-horned Rat God’s projection and screamed, “Now that things have come to this, do you still want to continue holding on and burying all your brothers with you?”
Red bear seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.
Under the totem armor, his mane, which had been tense a moment ago, was soaked in sweat, and it drooped down powerlessly.
If it were not for the mask, his eyeballs would almost jump out of his eyes, and his pupils would jump out of his eyes again. He was unwilling to believe what he had seen.
His lips trembled for a long time, but he could not utter any more powerful syllables. He could only squeeze out an expression that was uglier than crying. Even though he was separated by a thick layer of liquid metal, he could clearly feel his exhaustion, frustration, and despair.
Behind Red Bear, the rat soldiers who would rather die than surrender also had the same dazed expression as him.
The Zombie Rat God illusion appeared before everyone’s eyes on a large scale, completely crushing their will to resist.
As for the majority of the soldiers in the outer area, they did not originally belong to Red Bear or Mountain Dog. They were only the elite soldiers that they had gathered last night.
They did not know what to do. They did not know what was the meaning of everything that had happened before.
However, at the critical moment when Red Bear’s mental defense line was about to collapse completely…
An extremely dazzling golden beam of light suddenly bloomed within the Zombie Rat God illusion.
No, it was not one, not two, not three, not ten, not a hundred, but tens of thousands of beams!
It was as if a small sun at the temperature of several thousand degrees had risen from the Zombie Rat God’s body, spreading its light and heat to its heart’s content. It burned the darkest moment before everyone’s eyes and cleansed all the ugliness in the world.
Ten thousand beams of sunlight were like ten thousand golden sharp swords, piercing deeply into the brains of every elite soldier.
It caused them to feel an intense pain as their brains were cleansed by the raging flames, giving them a brand new feeling.
Even the hideous and ugly Zombie Rat God was wrapped in the golden flames that drilled out of his body. All the pus, tumors, strings of flesh, maggots, and dirt were devoured by the golden flames. He turned into a golden torch that could stand up to the heavens and light up the earth.
When the golden flames finally condensed into golden magma, the golden magma gradually solidified into a dazzling and magnificent armor.
Red Bear, Mountain Dog, and all the elite soldiers realized in horror that the ugly and disgusting illusion of the Zombie Rat God had long disappeared.
In its place was the Ancient Dream Saintess who had broken out of the Zombie Rat God’s body and experienced the test of the golden flames. She was like the statue of a golden valkyrie, majestic, sacred, inviolable, and invincible!
