Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 739: Kill (2)

"Coming."

Standing on a hill, Rena supported a bush. Looking down from here, one could see the Thousand Eye Spring region below, as well as the earth under the boundless night ahead. He did his best to see that a shadow was surging in this direction like a tide. The wind from that direction brought with it the sound of a war drum. It was a sound that could only be heard when an army of more than a thousand people charged forward.

He said with his headset, "Report your situation."

"Group A, get ready!"

"Group B, get ready!"

"Group C, get ready!"

"Group D, get ready!"

"Very good." Reina added: "Follow my orders later."

"Yes, Young Master Rena."

"Alan, hurry up," Reina whispered as he looked at the earth under the endless darkness.

Allen kept moving forward at a constant speed, hanging far behind the thousand-man army. Gaztu was brave, but his speed was limited. If Allen exploded with all his might, he would be able to shake them off in a short period of time. However, what he needed to do now was not to shake off the enemy, but to lure them to their predetermined target location, so Allen kept the distance between the two sides at a moderate level. He maintained a distance of about a hundred meters from the enemy's vanguard. This distance allowed them to clearly see themselves, so that they wouldn't lose track of him in the boundless night.

He would occasionally turn around and shoot, provoking the anger of the Catus. Especially the expert who was in charge of leading the team. Being able to lead a thousand-man team alone, he was naturally no ordinary warrior. On Barbarian Stone Planet, the most valiant warriors of each tribe were definitely the tribal chiefs, followed by the Blood Fang Warriors. They were warriors comparable to the Blood Knights of the Temple. However, the number of Bloodfang Warriors in each tribe was limited, and they were all vanguard generals who led the army, unlike the Bloody Warriors, who were able to form a system. Each time they moved, they would be hundreds or thousands of soldiers.

Amongst the Blood Fang Warriors, strength and merit were still divided into one to nine numbers. Normally, the ones who could lead a 100-man team were the five-toothed warriors, while the ones who could lead the thousand-man army were the nine-toothed warriors. The Nine-Fanged Warriors all had the strength of a federal colonel, and the Nine-Fanged Warriors who were leading the thousand-man army now had the strength of a Level-24 Warrior.

He was one of the two nine-toothed warriors under Sabott. Sabott had sent him out, and he obviously attached great importance to Alan and the others.

Barbarian Stone Planet was a planet where the jungle preyed on, and the Catus valued strength more. Only the strong could win the respect of their clansmen, and the dignity of the strong naturally could not be provoked. After Allen had slaughtered dozens of warriors and seriously injured more than a hundred elite soldiers, the Nine-Fanged Warrior was unwilling to let Allen off with anything. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to raise his head in the tribe in the future, and he wasn't the only Nine Teeth Warrior in the tribe.

Competition is everywhere.

Just like that, the Catu army chased after Allen's butt. This chase lasted for a few kilometers. The ground in front of him gradually became misty under the night sky, and the temperature gradually rose. It was already close to the Thousand Eye Spring area. Alan was at the forefront and felt it the most. The most obvious point was that the moisture on his skin was getting heavier and heavier. He knew that the Thousand Eye Spring was here, and his footsteps were getting tighter and tighter.

Instantly, Alan flashed past the boiling spring like a wisp of smoke. The thick smoke rising from the boiling spring continued to spread across the ground, turning into a misty mist that blocked Alan's figure. Seeing this, the Nine-fanged Warrior in the middle of the army roared, "Cowardly human, you can't let him escape. Everyone, spread out and surround me!"

The Thousand Eye Spring was indeed not suitable for the group to march here. Thus, the front of the Catu army dispersed first, followed by the Central Army. Finally, the Thousand Eye Spring army dispersed in all directions, spreading like small streams along the ground between the boiling springs of the Thousand Eye Spring. Alan, who was running ahead, took out a few high-energy grenades from his backpack and tossed them out after identifying the direction. A few grenades were thrown in different directions by him in a subtle manner. A moment later, several fireballs rose in different directions. Under the flames of the explosion, many Catu warriors were pushed into the boiling spring by the shockwave. The scorching spring water and the thick armor on their bodies immediately became deadly weapons, causing them to scream miserably in all directions.

Hearing these miserable cries, the Nine-Toothed Warrior's expression turned ugly. The corner of his eyes twitched, revealing a heartache. It wasn't that he felt heartache for the warriors who had died in battle, but every time Alan killed him, he would lose face. The more people died, the less face he would have in the end even if he could kill Alan. Thinking of this, he snatched the beam rifle from one of the warriors beside him and scolded, "You idiots, do you still know how to retaliate?"

After saying that, he raised his gun and shot at a hazy figure a hundred meters away. The bright light beam pierced through the water vapor and even illuminated Alan's face. Then, a ball of flame exploded. After the Nine-Fanged Warrior demonstrated, beams of light tore through the water mist in the Thousand Eye Spring area and exploded into fireballs. However, no one was confident that Alan would be hit, but the explosion did not stop. The explosive flames made the Nine-Toothed Warrior feel better. He cursed Alan for dying in that flame, but from time to time, a blazing flame bomb exploded in the army. It was as if Alan was mocking him. This made the Nine-Toothed Warrior's teeth itch even more.

Just like that, the army chased Alan deeper and deeper into the Thousand Eye Spring region. The dense fog in the Thousand Eye Spring region completely devoured the army. Inside, the fog spread out, and it was dark again, and his field of vision was compressed to within two to three meters. In such a narrow field of vision, no matter how valiant the Catus were, they could only slow down in order to avoid losing their lives by stepping into the boiling spring.

"Reina, it's time."

As Alan moved, he contacted Reina. He didn't forget to turn around and shoot, and immediately, beams of light shot back from the fog behind him. However, these beams of light were completely inaccurate. They cut through the air and landed on the edge of the boiling spring. In the spring water, or on some unlucky tree, apart from blasting away rocks and splitting bark everywhere, they had no effect on Alan at all.

"You're still in the middle of the Thousand Eye Spring. If we attack now, you'll be implicated," Rainer's voice rang out from the headset. "Get out of this area."

"No, I'm afraid they'll retreat if we delay any longer. Now, Rainer. Leave me alone, I'll be fine!" Shouted Alan.

Reina hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, watch out for yourself."

"Bastard!"

In a corner of the Thousand Eyes Spring, the Nine-fanged Warrior waved his hand and pushed away a warrior in front of him. The warrior's footing was unstable. He rolled into the boiling spring beside him. Several warriors immediately reached out to pick him up, but they also burned the warrior half to death. The Nine-Fanged Warrior wiped his eyes. The dense water vapor in the Thousand-Eyed Spring made his face full of water droplets. The water vapor blurred his vision, and he had to constantly wipe his face so that his eyes wouldn't be pasted by the water vapor.

In this situation, not to mention continuing to chase after Alan, it was very difficult to see clearly what was happening before and after. After hearing a few more miserable screams, an unknown number of soldiers fell into the water. The Nine Fanged Warrior finally hesitated, considering whether to leave this area first. At this moment, he keenly sensed an indescribable pressure. He raised his head, fog shrouded above his head, but a halo appeared at the left and right ends.

The two halos instantly converged on the top of his head. The air currents vibrated, forming a sharp howl that dispelled some of the fog above his head. Thus, the Nine-Fanged Warrior saw two deep blue beams of light as thick as tree roots descending from the sky. The moment they hit the ground, a burst of intense light exploded. His eyes ached and tears flowed from the intense light. The Nine-Fanged Warrior could clearly hear the muffled sound of the collision of flowing water and the rushing sound of the torrent washing the ground after the continuous explosion.

The Nine-Fanged Warrior suddenly remembered that he was in the Thousand-Eyed Spring, and what this region lacked the most was hot spring boiling water!

"Retreat!" He shouted loudly. He had already turned around.

However, the pressure in the air did not disappear. Azure beams of light that were as thick as tree trunks continued to descend, creating bursts of explosions in the vast area of the Thousand Eye Spring. The landing point of the beam had been precisely planned beforehand. Once a high-energy cannon was fired, it would definitely destroy the space between several nearby springs. In this area of the Thousand Eye Spring, the spacing between the springs was extremely fragile. The spaced rock belts were tens of centimeters thick, while the thin ones were only about ten centimeters wide.

Even rock belts tens of centimeters wide were unable to withstand the bombardment of high-energy beams. When the partitioned rock belts were broken, the boiling water in the spring converged, and the boiling water surged, flushing the Catus into the water. The high temperature in the water caused their thick armor to instantly turn red, and the weight of the thick armor made it even harder for them to swim out of the boiling water. Moreover, the climate on Barbarian Stone was dry, and the Catus were not good at swimming.

When the boiling water was like a tide, the Catus who fell into the spring could only be burned alive or drowned.

One could imagine that after tonight, the Thousand Eye Spring would no longer exist. There was only a boiling lake. Beneath this lake, there were countless corpses of outsider warriors buried.

The explosion also affected Alan.

The impact of the explosion of the high-energy beam, the splashing of boiling spring water, broken trees, and stones were all fatal obstacles to Allen, who was currently running wildly. Alan was moving forward at the fastest speed in his life, and the surrounding scenery was pulling blurry afterimages beside him. His speed was already extremely fast, but the spring water behind him was constantly converging and colliding, but it was like a tidal wave chasing after him desperately.

Suddenly, a bright light shone in front of him, and another high-energy light beam descended. Alan's ears were filled with noise. Suddenly, a black dot appeared in his eyes. His pupils constricted, and a huge boulder several meters wide was lifted by the explosion. His head was covered and his face was smashed towards him. The giant boulders howled like cannonballs. Allen bowed and roared away. The giant boulder brushed his head and flew backwards. It smashed into the boiling water that was coming at him, causing a ten meter wave of water to explode!

Alan heaved a sigh of relief, and his foot suddenly sank. The rock belt that was originally running collapsed, and the boiling spring water on the left and right immediately slammed towards him!
