Chapter 1260: The Awakened Death Ray

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fortunately, although the vegetation in the depths of the Holy Mountain was very dense, there were no large-scale totem beasts that could threaten the orc powerhouses.

That was because the space inside the Holy Mountain was extremely unstable. Large-scale totem beasts that were more than a hundred arms long would often be torn into pieces by the spatial gaps.

Therefore, the indigenous species that had lived there for thousands of years were mostly small-scale totem beasts like snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

While they heard the movement at the center of the valley, these snakes, insects, rats, and ants also poked their heads out from the crevices and underground, carefully spying on the Tiger King’s hunting team.

However, the orc warriors, as well as the torn Angler corpses scattered on the mud and rock walls, emitted a strong and pungent smell of blood. All of them served as a warning to the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It was better to stay as far away from the ferocious wolves, tigers, and leopards as possible.

Therefore, the next part of the road that was hidden in the mud was a perilous one.

Although the mud was gradually getting deeper, most of the time, the hunters had to trudge through the mud that was waist-deep.

However, they did not wake up any of the evil energy puppet remains or encounter a second team of blind Anglers.

Just like that, after they trekked in the pits of the valley for more than half an hour, the valley gradually became wider.

The rocks on either side separated again, revealing a large chunk of gray sky.

The valley’s bell-shaped exit was very close to them, and the mud had gradually become shallower. The remains of evil energy puppets embedded in the mud appeared sparse, and they were no longer as dense as they had been at the center of the valley.

“Jackal” Kanus told everyone that as long as they passed through the last part of the swamp, they could reach the relatively dry and safe forest. Then, they would be able to rest for a while.

After hearing this, the hunters who had to drag their feet out of the mud could finally relax a little.

Many people could not help but bend down and wipe away the mud that covered their feet.

At the same time, they massaged their twitching muscles to relieve the fatigue in their legs, which felt as if they were filled with molten iron.

At that moment, someone cried out in surprise.

When everyone turned back to look, they discovered that a fierce tiger warrior’s calf was covered in round leeches.

The leeches were dark purple like rotting corpses. There were also disgusting gray stripes on the surface of their body. They used their incomparably sharp ring-shaped mouthparts to get a firm bite on the tiger warrior’s calf.

It was probably because the leech’s mouthparts had nerve-numbing bodily fluids. The hunters had focused all their attention on the evil energy puppet remains that they never noticed the leeches.

Only did everyone realize that it was not just the unlucky fierce tiger warrior’s, but almost everyone’s legs were densely covered in the ugly little demons.

Judging from their bulging and translucent bodies, the insatiable little demons had attached to them for a long time and sucked their blood.

Swoosh!

The first furious lion warrior to realize that his legs were covered in leeches quickly pulled out his dagger and subconsciously flicked his leg.

Picturesque Orchid Lake’s leeches absorbed totem power and ate the corpses of warriors and fierce beasts. After a long period of evolution and mutation, they did not merely suck blood.

Many species of leeches could inject special anesthetics and digestive enzymes into their prey’s body, slowly dissolving their prey’s flesh into pus. Then, they would burrow in and feast. Making use of the provided nutrients, they would breed in their prey’s body and reproduce.

Under the most exaggerated circumstances, even a mammoth beast that was more than one hundred arms long could be devoured by the leeches until it turned into an empty husk.

By the time the unfortunate giant beast fell to the ground and broke into pieces, forget its internal organs, not even a few bones would be left under the skin.

Only tens of thousands of wriggling leeches would pour out like a flood that had broken through a dam.

Even the brave orc warriors, who were not afraid of death and took pride in their tragic deaths, would shudder deeply when they thought of such a disgusting and dishonorable death.

Needless to say, the super leeches deep in the Holy Mountain were more ferocious and bizarre than those in the outside world. Had the Anglers not been bigger and more ferocious in there?

No wonder when they found that their legs were covered in leeches that were attracted by the Anglers’ blood, their first reaction was to pick at them with a dagger.

It was to prevent the little demons from taking an inch and digging into their own flesh.

“No!”

The Tiger King and Wolf King were shocked by their subordinates’ actions. They broke out in cold sweat, almost shouting at the same time.

However, it was too late.

The Tiger King had carefully selected his subordinates’ weapons for this hunting operation. They were too sharp.

Every dagger that was used as a main tool was the best of the best.

Even before the tip of the blade touched the leech, the sharp edge of the blade had already gently cut a hole on the leech’s back.

In their entire lives, the leeches had never encountered so many strong prey in the swamp and sucked such delicious blood.

Thanks to the crazy sucking, their bodies were filled with orc blood that was several times heavier than their own weight. They trembled and shone as they were about to burst like balloons filled with water.

The fierce tiger warrior’s reaction was fast enough. He instantly realized that he had done something stupid and stopped moving.

Unfortunately, his blood still shot out like an arrow through the hair-sized cracks on the fat bug’s back, which had been torn apart by his dagger’s sharp edge.

The fierce tiger warriors on both sides hurriedly reached out to catch it.

They almost caught half of the blood arrow.

However, a few drops of blood that were almost invisible to the naked eye still leaked through the gaps between their claws. They gently dripped onto the calm mud without stirring up any ripples.

For a moment, everyone’s heart stopped beating except for the Tiger King and Wolf King’s.

The orc warriors channeled their blood into their eyeballs and ears, pushing their vision and hearing to the limit. They nervously searched for any sign of movement amongst the evil energy puppet remains around them.

The scattered energy puppets seemed to still be in a deep sleep.

A few drops of blood that fell into the swamp quickly dispersed and disappeared without a trace.

That made the orc warriors feel a little lucky.

Optimistically speaking, it was probably because the drops of blood that fell into the swamp were too small and too few. They were just a few insignificant threads of blood.

Plus, the evil energy puppet remains had been in a deep sleep for too long. Their mysterious and complicated gears and pipes had long rusted and gotten blocked. As such the Angels of Slaughter’s abilities to sense their enemies had been greatly weakened or even exhausted.

Yet, just as their hearts started beating again…

Everyone heard strange beeps coming from all directions.

No, not from all directions.

The beeps seemed to come directly from the core of their brain regions. Then, the sound struck the inside of their skulls back and forth, causing them to have a splitting headache. It was almost impossible for them to gather their will to battle, and they could not recall any combat skills that had already fused into their bloodlines. It was supposed to be a conditioned reflex.

They did not even have the time to be shocked.

Seven or eight glittering spots of light that were constantly moving suddenly appeared on the fierce tiger warrior, who had cut the leech and squeezed out his blood.

If one observed carefully, one would find that each spot came from a weak beam of light.

The source of the light was the remains of the evil energy puppets scattered around!

Shua!

Before anyone had the time to move, the Tiger King had already unleashed the Violent Blade that was attached to his body and refined from the toughest bone of the past Tiger Clan leader.

The unparalleled saber looked like a skeletal dragon, and the gaps between every joint was stretched to the limit. It had transformed from an indestructible heavy saber to a long whip that was neither light nor heavy, accurately wrapping around the fierce tiger warrior’s waist.

The Tiger King suddenly tugged on it, and the fierce tiger warrior soared into the air and flew toward the forest outside the swamp.

The seven or eight beams of light that were fixed on him suddenly became a hundred times brighter, forming a crisscrossing net that covered his head.

Even though the Tiger King’s timely tug had helped the fierce tiger warrior avoid the fatal attacks aimed at his glabella, temples, heart, and abdominal cavity, the crazy death ray still effortlessly swept through the tiger warrior’s limbs.

While he was still flailing around in the air, his arms and legs that were not protected by his totem armor were chopped off simultaneously.

The huge wound was as smooth as a mirror, and his broken blood vessels were instantly sealed by the death ray’s cauterization. Not even a drop of extra blood flowed out.

It was as if the tiger warrior had been born with a bare body.

His limbs that had spread out were repeatedly cut by the death ray, turning into pieces that were no bigger than a fist.

Bang!

The fierce tiger warrior crashed heavily into a big tree outside the swamp.

For the time being, the pain from his wounds could not be transmitted to his brain through his curled up nerves.

Nevertheless, the fear of losing his arms and legs, and the thought of never being able to fight again, still made the tiger warrior scream hysterically.

It was just that at this point, no one cared about what the tiger warrior felt like.

Everyone’s senses were firmly locked on the gurgling and bubbling that was coming from the mud. It was as if the mud was boiling. One after another, the killing machines rose from the ground.

The remains of the evil energy puppets that surrounded the wolves, tigers, and leopards were waking up.

The crystals embedded in their gears and tubes emitted a dazzling brilliance again.

The illumination resembled flames that were flowing everywhere. Soon, it covered the remains of the evil energy puppets, burned away the moss, rust, and dirt that had been covering them for thousands of years, and revealed a brand-new metallic luster. The patterns of magic arrays that were as fine as silk were also visible.

The gears spun and the pipes trembled. The power that originated from the depths of the Holy Crystal was transferred to the end of the tightly-structured killing machines through a series of complicated transformations and enhancements.

These evil energy puppet remains were like blossoming buds. They extended their limbs, blades, swords, and halberds that were rippling with Holy Light easily. Many could also gather Holy Light and shoot it out in a certain direction, forming a hollow light track of death..
