Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1026: Behemoths Attack

"How could this be!" Kuru hurriedly shouted, "Come on up, come on up. Where are the soldiers? Get someone to inform General Keller, quickly!"

Yumi rushed over.

A moment later, a hundred Bucks soldiers jumped down from the lake and sprinkled an irritating yellow powder onto the snakes in the lake. No matter what snake inhaled this powder, it was extremely uncomfortable. Soon, the group of snakes swam out of the lake and disappeared into the jungle. Although the snakes had left, most of the workers in the lake were injured. The snakes at the bottom of the lake weren't all poisonous snakes, but it was really hard to bite in an important position.

The homework in the lake was naturally delayed. Most of the workers were injured, and a few of them were bitten by poisonous snakes. They didn't notice them for a moment, but when they discovered the snake venom, they were already attacked by the venom, and their rescue was ineffective and they died. This sudden accident made Ku Lu completely lose his excitement in the morning, so he could only sigh and wait for tomorrow to continue his homework.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, there was a rustling sound in the camp. Someone shouted, "Here comes the snake again," and Ku Lu woke up from his sleep. When the old man came out of the tent, he was stopped by two soldiers. Ku Lu borrowed the light of the fire to see the swarm of snakes in the camp. The scene made one's scalp go numb. A few unlucky people were crawling all over their bodies like human cocoons, and their appearances were even more terrifying. By the time the snakes on their bodies swam away, these people had already turned into corpses.

In the next few days, the swarm of snakes became more and more rampant. They were almost everywhere, in the mud at the bottom of the lake, in the trunks of old trees, in the bushes, under the shade of trees … The snakes were like a group of devils, staring at this place in the camp. The soldiers of the Bucks Army had to sprinkle medicine every day to expel the snakes, but as time went on, the snakes did not show any signs of decreasing, and the snake medicine was almost used.

In the end, General Bloodmane personally went into battle and released his killing intent in the camp. He was so shocked that the snakes didn't dare to approach him anymore. In the next two days, the workers finally didn't see any traces of the snakes. Only then did they feel relieved to start work.

The air was sultry this afternoon. Ku Lu sat under the wooden shed on the shore of the lake and personally looked after the work site. Seeing that the accumulated stones at the entrance were gradually cleared out, the muffled anger caused by the snakes dissipated slightly. The sound of footsteps rang out, followed by a figure sitting beside Ku Lu. A wave of sweat immediately spread out in the air. Blood-maned General Keller wiped away his sweat and opened the gap in his armor slightly. He smiled bitterly and said, "How long do I have to stay in this kind of damn place?"

The middle-aged general, who was well-known in the Bucks Army, had a resolute expression. He raised his thick eyebrows with killing intent, and his thick chin was wrapped tightly around a light red beard. This beard was precisely the origin of his nickname. Keller had also accumulated a lot of merits in the Bucks, but he was still the commander of several thousand men. Not even a commander of the division could be a general of Zhen Jiang, and the grievances in his heart were no less than Ku Lu's.

Judging from his merits and strength, Keller was perfectly qualified to become a Great General of Zhen Jiang. However, this person was too powerful, but because he was too straightforward, he offended many high-ranking officials, so much so that he had always been suppressed in the military headquarters. This time, he was kicked here to protect the ruins of the Wilderness Highlands. Not long ago, he had even done the job of releasing killing intent to disperse the snake pack, giving Keller the feeling that he was overqualified and useless.

Ku Lu handed a relatively clean glass to the general who was suffering from the same illness. The glass contained half a glass of malt wine. The old man revealed a row of yellow teeth and said, "Don't think about it. I have some wine here. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a few sips."

Keller laughed and took the glass of malt wine. He sighed, "Actually, this place isn't bad. There's no need to look at the faces of those people. It's just that this damn place isn't for people. It's good to be able to go back early." josei

"After we go back, how about we continue to call for people to be excluded from the army?" '"General Keller, I'm not afraid to tell you," Kuru snorted. "If this ruin proves to be of research value and thus attracts the attention of the royal family, then this place will become the second Blood King's Cemetery. If you're willing to stay and help me, then I dare say that it's better for you to stay in the Wilderness Highlands than to go back and see people's faces."

"Mr. Cullen, you don't understand." Keller sighed and said, "People like us are so busy without a fight. If a ruin like the Blood King's Cemetery is really good, at least some ancient creatures will pass the time. I'm afraid there's nothing inside. If you work in vain, I'll be sick … Eh?"

Keller suddenly stood up, his expression suddenly solemn. He shouted to Cullen, "Go stop them. Something's coming. Damn, it must be a big guy. You have to hide too, Mr. Cullen. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you later." Then he rushed out of the wooden shed and used all his Origin Energy to shout, "Bucks, there's an enemy coming. Prepare to fight, prepare to fight!"

The entire lake started to boil.

The workers were evacuated from the bottom of the lake, while the Bucks moved into the camp and set up a thick battle formation as Keller demanded, as if they were facing a great enemy. When the battle formation was set up, an ordinary person like Ku Lu felt a terrifying pressure coming towards the camp. The clever Yumi suddenly noticed that the water in the cup next to him was constantly producing ripples, and then everyone became dizzy.

That's because the ground is shaking.

The intense tremor was like a herd of wild elephants running in groups in the Northern Lands. Only then could such a strong tremor be felt. Ku Lu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wooden battles in his hands. He had long heard that there were a few dangerous vicious creatures in the Wilderness Highlands. Right now, they were heading straight for the camp, probably one of them.

Keller narrowed his eyes as the dangerous aura in the humid air grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he saw a series of noises coming from the forest opposite the battle formation. Then, huge trees fell down, shaking up a patch of dust. Keller took a deep breath and shouted, "Musketeers, get ready. Something is coming. The Thick Shield Guards, watch out for the shooters. The Lancers are ready to fight at any time."

Under the general's orders, the army entered a state of readiness for battle. At this moment, a mountain-like figure suddenly appeared in the dense forest. Just the shadow cast by this giant beast enveloped half of the battle formation. This was an exotic beast that looked like a turtle, if a turtle was the size of a mountain. There were four golden eyeballs on the exotic beast's head. It had a thick and protruding shell, six short and thick legs supporting its body, and a few fleshy tentacles dancing on its back.

If Alan was here, he would recognize the giant beast in front of him, the one who had been living in the lake that day.

Now that the giant beast had broken through the forest, four fierce eyes shot out from its head, and tentacles fluttered on its back as it whipped towards the Bucks' battle formation.

The shield soldiers in the front row immediately raised their tower shields high, but the tentacles of the giant beast pulled out more than a thousand jin of strength. The strength that an extraordinary person could resist struck the long wall formed by the shield, and the shield wall immediately drew out a few cracks. The shield soldiers were sent flying by the tremendous force, screaming miserably, and starting the battle.

"Musketeer, attack!"

Two hundred shooters lit up their guns. The giant beast was so big that it didn't need to aim anywhere. It shot towards the big fellow that was heading towards it. The sound of gunfire was endless, and sparks could be seen on the giant beast's head, thick shell, and tentacles. However, apart from the tiny bloody blossoms from his tentacles, the thick shell on his back and the dark purple scales on his head easily bounced off the bullets of the gun.

The giant beast roared as its tentacles suddenly rose like snakes. A cross-shaped crack appeared at the front. The crack opened, and it was actually a mouthpiece with fleshy teeth. One mouthpiece after another spat out green water columns. The water columns broke through the air, causing a strong sour smell to appear in the air. Keller's expression changed and he shouted desperately, "Spread out! Spread out in the front row!"

The battle formation split apart, but it was still three points too late. A few miserable green water pillars poured into the crowd, and many soldiers were drenched in water. The armor immediately corroded out green smoke, and the battle uniform and skin melted away. The soldiers drenched in water could only let out a few short screams before they fell to the ground and died. Their corpses were still melting away. Clearly, the water column sprayed out by the giant beast contained a strong amount of acid!

Keller somewhat regretted not bringing those cannons with him back then. Normal swords and guns wouldn't be able to harm a giant beast like the one in front of him at all. Only artillery, a killing weapon on the battlefield, or an expert on the battlefield, could cause damage to them.

At this moment, the giant beast was still a hundred meters away from the battle formation, and it suddenly stopped. Six-legged, his body slightly pressed down, and the Origin Energy aura on his body exploded. The Behemoth's outer shell actually lit up a few lines. It opened its mouth, and a ball of jade flame boiled in its mouth.

"Move aside!" Keller's expression changed as he suddenly raised his Origin Energy. Of course, his might soared to the heavens. At this moment, the giant beast spat out a pure beam of Origin Energy. It did not possess any skill or ability, only a brutal destructive power. The pillar of light slanted towards the ground, ploughing out a charred black ravine on the ground and pulling it towards the Bucks' battle formation. Keller had already leapt into the air, his hands clenched into empty hands as he smashed down. Immediately, two pale red fists, the size of a mountain, descended from the sky.

One of them smashed into the miserable green pillar of light, causing the pillar of light that was constantly spitting out to flicker unsteadily. After a violent burst of distortion, the pillar of light exploded, and a string of dark green fireballs bloomed in the air one after another. The shockwaves of the explosion alone crushed the Bucks to the ground. The other fist smashed into the giant beast's head. The giant beast Zhi Ji's head shrank and hid in its thick shell.

The giant fist landed on the turtle's shell, and a series of ear-piercing noises rang out from the sky above the lake. The giant beast was even smashed into the ground, and the cracks that it had squeezed out quickly spread out in all directions with it as the center. Immediately, a large area of woodland collapsed, countless old trees and trees swayed and fell, causing the clamor to cover the giant beast's silhouette.

Keller landed and took a deep breath. It wasn't easy for him to hurry out with these two punches, and the aura on his body was reduced by three points out of thin air. In the thick smoke, the giant beast kept wailing. Obviously, it hid inside the turtle, but Keller's fist still hurt it heavily.
