Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1028: Highland Lord (2)

The next morning, Keller was already standing at the entrance of the valley with his army. The entrance was narrow and lucky, as if it was a rift that had been chopped out from a tall mountain. Today's sunshine was weak and frail. Large patches of gray clouds floated in the sky. It was cloudy weather. Outside the valley, the interior of the valley became even darker. At the very least, from Keller's point of view, the entrance to the valley could only be seen through a hundred meters. Farther away, in a mist, one could only vaguely see the outline of some things.

Keller gestured for the troops to move out. Due to the terrain, it was impossible to form a thick formation. Keller had to put the shield soldier in front, with himself in the middle, and the rest of the soldiers following behind him. The army formation was like a long dragon as it entered the entrance of the valley. The valley was exceptionally quiet, not even the wind. An invisible pressure landed on every soldier. Even if it was the regular army of the empire, the soldiers' breathing was three points heavier than usual.

After taking a hundred steps forward, someone shouted, "There's a snake." Keller's heart skipped a beat as he raised his hand and shouted. After that, they separated from the shield soldiers and arrived at the front of the formation. As expected, not far away, there were three or two small snakes coiling around the formation, looking in the direction of the formation. The small eyes on those triangular heads always gave off a bad feeling. Rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle rustle Then, snakes, big and small, flowed out of the valley. In the blink of an eye, they covered the mountain paths of the army, so many that even Keller's scalp felt numb.

The Bucks' quality was excellent, and they weren't shocked back by this kind of battle. However, the soldiers' breathing became heavy, and their palms were covered in sweat. Anyone could tell that this situation was unusual. Ten thousand snakes blocking the path was simply like another army.

An army of snakes.

Then a voice rang out, "Stop right there, human. This is not where you should be. I demand that you retreat immediately!"

The voice was childish, like a boy who had just grown up. However, the voice carried a bit of dignity, especially when it did not resound in the ears of the crowd, but directly appeared in their minds. It was even more frightening!

Keller's heart skipped a beat. He knew that there were some experts whose mental will was extremely powerful, but they could directly brand their own will into the opponent's mind. However, he hadn't heard of any expert who could directly speak in the other party's mind. Especially if everyone of the four hundred soldiers could "hear" it, how strong would the other party's mental will be to do so? The current situation was unfavorable for the Bucks. The soldiers were not afraid of facing a powerful opponent, but the method of speaking directly in their minds had seriously affected their fighting spirit.

Keller's aura surged, releasing his Origin Energy, stirring the air to form a soaring airflow. He shouted coldly, "You pretending to be a ghost, get out of here!"

The voice no longer replied, leaving a cold laugh in everyone's minds. Then, the light in the valley dimmed. The mist from before became thicker and thicker. The thick mist swallowed the sky and covered the sun, quickly surging from the depths of the valley. In just a short moment, the army had already overflowed. Keller snorted as he raised his hand and punched away, sending out a gust of wind to cut through the mist. However, as soon as the wind blew past, the mist closed, making it difficult for it to dissipate. Keller had no choice but to order the soldiers to move closer and continue forward.

A Bucks' shield soldier raised his large shield in his hand and carefully groped forward with his axe in one hand. At this moment, there seemed to be a figure twisting in the dense fog. Just as he was about to warn, he saw all the armed warriors pouncing out of the fog. The murderous voices of these warriors soared into the sky as they charged forward with their saber shields The first person actually held a shield and fiercely collided with the shield soldier. Then, a long saber came from behind the shield and sliced open the throat of the shield soldier. At the same time, the shield soldier also slashed down with his axe, embedded it into the other party's head, and declared both sides dead at the same time.

All of the Bucks soldiers saw the army that had suddenly emerged from the dense fog. Without Keller's orders, everyone assumed a fighting posture. The fog in the valley grew thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible for them to see their companions. However, they had never thought about how they would be able to see the enemy army coming through the fog even though they couldn't see them clearly under this dense fog.

The slaughter did not give them any time to think about it. The enemy soldiers were all aggressive, and they all fought to the death together. The Bucks' soldiers were constantly falling down. All they could do was to end their opponents' lives before they fell.

"What are you guys doing …"

Keller's eyes widened as he looked at the army behind him. He didn't know what had happened, but the four hundred soldiers he had brought with him suddenly began to kill each other. Give me a knife and I'll give you an axe. All they used were brutal battle techniques, all of which were life-for-life transactions. In just a moment, more than half of the soldiers had fallen, and they had all died at the hands of their comrades. There was nothing sadder for soldiers than this.

"Stop!" Keller pounced on the two colliding shield soldiers. The two of them seemed to be possessed. Both of them squeezed each other desperately with red eyes, and then raised their battle axes to chop them down. Keller put his hands together and forcefully pushed the two of them away. However, the two of them didn't seem to have noticed anything, so they pounced on him again.

"I told you to stop!" Keller's aura erupted, and the pressure enveloped the entire arena. Under the enormous pressure, the remaining soldiers were knocked unconscious. Only then did they finally stop and stop killing each other. The general was so angry that his entire body trembled. He must have been the one who made the noise. He couldn't help but shout angrily at the valley, "Come out! If you don't come out, I'll flatten this valley!"

He raised his fist and punched. The tip of his fist flashed, pulling out a faint red pillar of light. The pillar of light disengaged its fist and instantly condensed into a mountain-sized Giant Spirit Fist in midair, blasting into the depths of the thick fog. Red light flickered in the mist and there was no sound. Then the voice sounded in Keller's mind, "You're the one who razed the valley?" josei

His voice was filled with disdain.

Keller suddenly felt something and raised his head.

Above him, in the thick fog, a golden snake's eye slowly opened. When the snake's eyes were opened, a dark golden ripple appeared out of thin air, sweeping through the dense fog and pouncing towards Keller. Keller didn't dodge or dodge, he raised his fist and punched. The fist tip smashed into the ripples, causing the ripples to shatter into pieces. The Origin Energy exploded, forming a continuous golden flame. Keller was also shaken to the point that his chest felt uncomfortable, and his qi and blood surged.

A look of surprise flashed through his heart. At this moment, a strong sense of danger arose. One could only see the snake eyes in the dense fog continuously open, one after another, and a dark golden ripple swept down from each of them. There were more than a hundred snake eyes, and the fog in the valley immediately surged. More than a hundred golden patterns swept through the air, interweaving and reflecting each other as they flew down.

Explosions!

Keller pierced through the Origin Energy ripples and counterattacked. When he finally stood up, he couldn't help but be stunned. Unknowingly, he had already been blasted out of the valley by the mysterious existence. The general couldn't help but blush. Suddenly, the fog in the valley surged like a sea of clouds. Then, a pillar of air sprayed out from the valley like a waterfall. In the fog waterfall, the soldiers of the Bucks Army fell one by one, paving the ground outside the valley and piling up a small mountain of people.

After the last soldier fell out of the fog pillar, the thick fog gradually receded, and the valley returned to its unfathomable state.

Keller couldn't help but laugh bitterly. The attitude of the owner of the valley was already very obvious. This time, he should teach them a lesson and let them leave. If Keller didn't know what was good for him and entered the valley again, it wouldn't end so well. After a little fight with the mysterious existence, Keller asked himself that he was no match for him. He only waited for the unconscious soldier to wake up and then left with the corpse of the deceased. Along the way, he kept thinking about what kind of creature the owner of the valley was. If he was a human, it would be reasonable. After a demonstration like this, he would leave a path for his opponent to survive. He wouldn't do anything too extreme. It was the most commonly used method for humans to let both sides have a step down. However, if it was any other life form, it would be too unimaginable. Even if it was a ferocious beast with intelligence, it would definitely not be able to make such a humane move.

The general scratched his head, thinking that he could only discuss this matter with Ku Lu.

It took him a day to return to the camp, and the next day, Kuru resumed the work of the ruins. This time, it went quite smoothly, without any other creatures disturbing the situation. Very quickly, the entrance to the ruins was cleared. Two days later, Ku Lu was already standing in the ruins. Without a doubt, this was an ancient ruin. But to Ku Lu's disappointment, this place seemed to have suffered serious damage, and there was nothing valuable to dig out.

However, he didn't know that a few days ago, there were still many secrets in the Royal Snake Base. As for now, under the destruction of the Iron Tooth Ant Colony, even the traces of Allen and the others' movements had long since been erased.

The Bucks stationed in the highlands and the members of the Investigation Council began to leave. The most disappointed person was none other than Kuru. He came with hope, but this was the outcome. However, this result was the best for it. After the humans of the highlands left, two golden eyeballs were silently looking at the calm lake. When the sun set, a slender shadow appeared.

The snow-white scales on his body refracted a faint golden halo under the sunlight. The dark golden horn on his head was illuminated by the sunlight, revealing complex and mysterious patterns. This beautiful and dignified giant snow-white snake slowly opened its thin fins on both sides of its head. They spread out like wings, adding to its might.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound. A pillar of water actually sprayed out from the bottom of the lake, followed by two or three pillars … More and more pillars of water sprayed out from the bottom of the lake, quickly filling up the originally dry lake, and returning to the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.

The white snake narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth. A moment later, ripples appeared on the lake water. The ground trembled, and the turtle-shaped giant beast, who used to be the owner of the lake, slowly came to the side of the snake. The serpent nimbly turned around and looked at the giant beast with its pair of golden snake eyes. The giant beast rolled its eyes and took two steps back, seemingly refusing something. The white snake leaned forward, its fin wide open. The dark golden horn on its head actually lit up slightly, and an aura filled with dignity landed on the giant beast's body.

The giant beast's six short legs trembled and finally let out a low cry. He then opened his mouth wide and began to retch, continuously spitting out dark green acid water from the giant beast's mouth. A moment later, a meat ball was spat out by the giant beast. After spitting out the meat ball, the giant beast's aura became dispirited and it lay on the ground panting heavily. The white snake looked at the ball of meat. A dark golden ripple swept down from the snake's eyes. The ball of meat was torn apart, revealing a jade-green crystal core.

The white snake opened its mouth and the green crystal core floated up. In the eyes of the giant beast, the crystal core was sucked into the white snake's mouth and swallowed again. As the crystal core entered his abdomen, the white snake's scales spat out tens of thousands of tiny jade flames from the cracks in its body. The white snake chirped and swam towards the giant lake. With a thud, it drilled into the lake and slowly sank into the lake, disappearing into thin air.

The Great Highland Lake was quiet.
