Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 681: A Dead End
Alan couldn't help but ponder when the spear was nailed down. He turned around and slashed out with his saber. The blood energy on the heavy saber surged, as if it was wrapped in a layer of red clouds. In the red clouds, purple lightning swallowed and spat out, but that was due to the ability of the Giant Crystal Thorn Python. The saber that carried the blood energy and lightning slashed onto the tip of the spear. The jade light on the spear flourished, and the green lightning beads rolled away, colliding with the blood energy of the heavy saber and immediately exploding.
The Origin Energy of both sides collided, expanded, and exploded. The shockwave engulfed the surrounding grass, and the lightning that exploded ignited the surrounding grass, causing the fire waves to soar into the sky!
Alan was shocked. Although he hurriedly drew his saber, blocking this spear made his entire body numb. Apart from the impact of the spear, it was also affected by the green lightning that the opponent had attached to the spear. At this juncture, another battle spear wrapped in green lightning flashed towards him. Alan could only try his best to avoid him, but the numbness in his body made his movements a few minutes slower than before.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of him. Then, he saw the gray wheel fly up, bouncing off the spear. The explosive sound of the collision caused his eardrums to ache. Looking again, the one blocking this spear for him was the Cato expert, Hubble.
Only then did Alan regain consciousness. He vigilantly retreated and looked ahead. Within the sea of grass a hundred meters away, a figure stood towering on a huge grey rock. It was also a Catu, smaller than Hubble. His hair was dyed green, red, yellow, orange, purple, and plaited into pigtails.
His armor was not the heavy plate armor that the Catus liked, but a lighter leather armor. He was holding a spear, and there were two spears stabbed into his back. It was obvious that the spear that attacked Alan earlier was from his subordinates.
Hubble seemed to recognize him, so he rolled his eyes and shouted in the Catu language, "Tarai, what are you doing?"
The Catus, known as Tarai, responded in a low voice, "I should be the one to ask why Hubble, the beheader, helped that human."
"Are you blind? I'm fighting this man. You ruined this duel, and you dare to blame me!" Hubble roared.
"Duel?" '"Don't joke, we're at war with these human monkeys. If you want to play a duel game, scram back to Barbarian Stone and play enough! Now, in the name of Lord Vasak, I order you to help me kill all these humans!" Talley took a step forward and said, "Don't joke. We're at war with these human monkeys. If you want to play a duel game, scram back to Barbarian Stone!"
"That's more like it for Lord Vasak. As for you, Tarley, if you don't fuck off, I don't mind changing opponents!" Said Hubble loudly.
"Stop messing around, Hubble!" Talley took out something from behind his waist and lifted it up, spreading it towards Hubble. It was a fist-sized beast skull with a black surface and densely packed tiny words written in red paint. "Don't tell me you can't recognize this thing, right? This is proof that Lord Vashak has given me command! If you don't accept the order, then you can just wait to face Lord Vashak's anger!"
Hubble's chest rose and fell as hot smoke sprayed out of his nose, as if a storm was spinning in his body. Finally, he put down his axe and snorted, "You brought out the Black Skeleton. You're very thoughtful, Tarley."
"If that's not the case, you headache-inducing fellows, I can't restrain you by myself." Talley flipped his fangs out of his lips. "Now, kill all these humans, Hubble!"
Alan naturally couldn't understand the conversation between the Catus, but judging from the tone and movements of the two sides, he could roughly guess something. Then Hubble turned around and said in human language, "That fellow is Tarot. Unfortunately, he is one of the ten commanders appointed by Lord Vasak." I don't know what you're up to. With just a few of you, you dare to charge in the direction of one of our main barracks with such a small amount of strength. What was even more unfortunate was that this fellow seemed to be in the barracks. "Alright now, we won't be able to carry out this match smoothly."
He raised his axe and slashed at Alan. However, this time, the beheader had neither power nor killing intent, and he even lacked Origin Energy. Looking like Hubble waving his axe, Allen could not have dodged it more easily. Then Hubble raised his axe and sliced it again.
'"What are you doing, Hubble?" Thaley, who was behind him, couldn't bear to watch.
Hubble turned around and rubbed his head with a simple and honest expression, "Lord Tarley, didn't you order me to kill all the humans in front of me?"
His appearance made people laugh, but Talley could not laugh. He roared, "Just like that, when will you be able to kill these monkeys?"
"Then I'm not sure." Hubble spread out his hands and said, "Besides, your order is to kill them all. But when it comes to killing them all, I can't control it."
'"Hubble" Talley gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dare to play such a trick on me. Wait until you return to the temple to be judged!"
"That's after we go back. Besides, it's not your turn to decide on the Temple."
"Good, very good!" Talley pointed his spear and said, "Now scram! You can disappear from my sight within a minute! Do you hear me clearly? There's a time limit this time!"
"Oh, I see, Great Lord Talley." Hubble pretended to bow to his fellow countrymen before turning to Ellen and saying, "I'm leaving. It's probably impossible, but you'd better try not to die. After all, we're only halfway through the duel." Talley is a smart guy, smarter than most Catus, and sometimes I wonder if this cautious guy is my countryman, or perhaps a bastard with the Neil people. "No matter what, that fellow will never pick a hard bone to bite. Do you understand what I mean?"
He blinked and swayed away with his axe on his shoulder. He didn't walk fast, so he obviously wanted to show it to Talley. However, his footsteps were enormous. Even if he walked slowly, it would still be enough to disappear from Talley's sight in a minute. At his speed, it was neither too much nor too little, just enough for him to disappear within the time limit. Talley knew this as well, but he couldn't blame anything. He could only gasp for breath.
Alan winked at Rena and the others. Even if Tarley's strength was not comparable to Hubble's, he was probably no different. If Hubble stayed behind and joined forces with Talley, under the two Major General level experts, they would probably not be able to go anywhere. But now that Hubble had withdrawn, the situation was completely different. Alan gestured to retreat, but before he could take action, an imposing aura suddenly emerged from the cliffs on both sides of the valley belt.
They raised their heads and saw Gaztu warriors emerge from the rocky cliffs on both sides. However, these warriors weren't as noisy as what Alan and the others had encountered before, nor did they immediately charge down with loud shouts. They were terrifyingly quiet. From the looks of their equipment, they were similar to ordinary warriors. However, the hair of these Catus was dyed bright red. Everyone wore a scarlet cloak to show the difference between them and ordinary warriors.
Most importantly, judging from the aura they emitted, the Catu warriors on both sides were at level 15 or 16.
"It's a bloody warrior." Lucy cried out in surprise, "That is the martial power directly attached to their temple. These warriors are chosen from the elites of various tribes, some of them even the chiefs of a small tribe." The bloody warriors were only inferior to the elite Berserkers of Barbarian Hammer Vashak, but they were numerous and regarded bloody sacrifice as an honor. Although this is a common belief of the Catus. "
Alan swept his gaze. There were forty to fifty bloody warriors on both sides of the valley. Just this army alone was a headache, not to mention the equivalent of a major general of the Federation, Talley. However, as the crowd behind Talley swarmed, teams of fully armed Catu warriors spread out from both sides of Talley, blocking the entire valley, Allen's mouth was filled with bitterness.
Bloody warriors, plus dozens of ordinary soldiers, and experts like Talley, this was indeed what a main barracks should look like. However, why would the mission of the Hunting Group involve such an important strategic target as the main barracks? There were simply too many tricks involved. Now, Alan was sure that it was not negligence, but someone deliberately wanted to send a team like them to their deaths!
Allen and the others were just a small interlude on the battlefield in the entire Chaos Canyon. Right now, the main theme of the battlefield was the high-altitude battlefield above, where the fleets of both sides were battling each other. The Federation wanted to break through the enemy's defensive line and directly reach the sky above the modified land in the gorge, so as to destroy many collapse resonators in one fell swoop. The Yordon outsiders naturally tried their best to defend. The warships of both sides had already been bitten together. The flames of the explosion caused the entire sky to burn. The blood-colored light that caused one's heart to palpitate dispersed the sunlight, causing the sky and the earth to be dyed with a shocking layer of red light.
Within the fire clouds, surging Origin Energy surged in all directions, and it instantly rushed into the distance. Occasionally, a pitch-black abyss-like light would explode, and there would suddenly be bright fluorescent dots within. The fluorescent light interconnected and intertwined into pieces. In the end, the light shone brightly, engulfing and dispersing the darkness.
The battle was blazing. Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar rang out from within the fire cloud. Then, a pitch-black giant figure fell down from the fire cloud. Streams of flowing flames wrapped around this Dark Titan's body, but a huge gap appeared in the Grai expert's chest. The place inside, which was originally the Origin Core, was empty at this moment. The Titan of Darkness had fallen halfway, and his entire body was already covered in cracks. Black flames kept rushing out from every crack in his body as he was about to fall to the ground. An invisible impact exploded, and the Dark Titan exploded in midair. Immediately, a black sun appeared on the earth!
The violent Origin Energy scattered everywhere, washing away the land, dangerous cliffs, grass seas, and other places in the valley. The ground cracked open with wounds that stretched for a thousand meters. The cliff stones fell off with a loud explosion, and a large sea of grass began to burn. As a result, the earth trembled in the valley, and a scene of purgatory that was akin to the apocalyptic calamity appeared!
