Chapter 1158 - Chapter 1158 Chapter 1158 Deformed Legion

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Deformed Legion Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Deformed Legion Just seeing the strength of Li Yao’s Legion made others step back, their hopes of luck dashed by Li Yao’s decisive battle that shattered some of their illusions.

Moreover, with Li Yao setting the starting price at twenty sets of troop-type building blueprints, it was practically a robbery–and those were blueprints that couldn’t be bought even with money.

Therefore, in comparison to the first bout of fierce competition, the second auction proceeded sluggishly, with no one stepping forward for a long while.

“Ten minutes, and only five tycoons have placed bids, each raising the price by one. Now, an extraterrestrial player has already bid thirty-two,” Xiao Ya excitedly said. Such priceless items were extremely precious, and offering so many at once was itself a display of strength.

At the Starfire Guild, everyone was hurrying on their way, when Tong Tong couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, big brother, those Mechanical Bugs are so cool.”

Tian Xiang laughed and said, “I thought you weren’t going to watch. You ended up peeking at the live broadcast after all.”

“Hmph, I just want to know how he took down a city all by himself. When I learn how, I’ll do it too,” Tong Tong said, sticking out her tongue.

Unparalleled Beauty shook her head slightly, “It’s not so easy. With such a huge city, even with those bugs, capturing it would be nearly impossible unless there’s some special method.”

Feng Yi nodded and added, “Let’s not guess anymore. I’ve already emailed him to ask how he did it. He’ll reply when he can, and then we’ll know. Right now, our most important task is to take down a medium-sized graveyard. We have many Undead players in the guild, but even mixed with military achievements, they’re just low-tier troops unfit for display. So, this medium-sized graveyard is key.”

“Then it’s business as usual. Roll the dice, and the loser goes back to hold the fort,” the Guardian Angel said.

Apart from Tong Tong, the other guild veterans all rolled their dice in turn.

“Alright, I’ll go back and hold the fort; you all go ahead,” Feng Yi said with the lowest score. “It’s perfect timing; I need to sort through the latest information and intelligence.”

Things were different now. With the world expanding, dangers increased manifold. In the past, if the guild was under attack by enemy factions or declared war on, they could all return immediately.

But now, with Hearthstone cooldowns so long and the distances so vast, not everyone could return to defend against attacks. It’s the same with the Starfire Guild and others–they took turns on guard duty.

Of course, Li Yao was the exception, acting as a hands-off manager.

Li Yao himself was unaware that while he solved the guild’s troop issues, others in his guild were also working hard. At that moment, his second challenger had already stood before him.

Bidding thirty-four blueprints, it was definitely an exorbitant price.

“I am Mogutai. After the server connection, I’ve heard of the Duel King Prairie Fire’s fame. Today I finally meet you; it’s indeed an honor. I will use all means to defeat you, whether in Legion battles or as an individual,” the creature facing Li Yao was a half-Orc.

Its face was hard to describe, clearly not human, with black and glossy fur, yet with a human-like form and slender body, exuding a cold and eerie feeling that gave Li Yao an oddly abnormal sensation.

Li Yao dug at his ear and said, “Enough with the nonsense. I’m tired of hearing the same thing so often my ears could develop calluses. Come on, let’s get this over with.”

“You just wait,” Mogutai waved his hand as several portals appeared, and out came cohorts of monsters.

These monsters were not well-organized, but their mere presence pressured everyone.

The monstrous troops were unidentifiable in Race, with fur, scales, and even shells. They varied in size, some crawled, some walked on two legs, but the commonality was the multitude of eyes and boils on their bodies.

As they moved, they trailed a disgusting, thick liquid on the ground. Boils on their bodies occasionally burst, emitting green fumes, reaching a peak in both revulsion and terror. What’s more, they were all of silver rank. With their arrival, the blended scent of countless vile odors began to spread.

Not only were their skins mutated, but their bodies were also in various states of deformity, with creatures whose heads were larger than washbasins and some with no heads at all, instead sporting a pair of venomous snakes where their necks should be. Some had limbs stretched grotesquely, making their movements a hundred times more disgusting than a moving corpse.

Many female players, upon seeing this nauseating scene coupled with the unbearable stench, began to retch violently, and chaos ensued.

Even Xiao Ya turned pale, but she fought the urge to retch herself, rendering her unable to continue commentary. The viewers, even through their screens, could sense the horror and weirdness of the situation.

“Don’t be deceived by their appearance, or you’ll suffer a miserable defeat,” Mogutai sneered, standing beside a grotesque figure with moldy green fur all over, a face obscured by hair, and a body stretched thin as though doubled in length. This figure held a rust-covered Sickle and, most importantly, had only one huge eye that took up half its head and seemed to lack a pupil. It looked both eerie and terrifying. “I’ve heard that Prairie Fire is not only skilled but also well-informed. I doubt there is anyone besides myself and my guild members that possess such troop types. I wonder if you can explain the origin of my Legion.”

Li Yao pretended to think for a moment before replying, “In my archaeological research, I’ve found some Titan Stone Carvings in an ancient cave left by the Titans who made Guardians. I remember there was a record of this.”

“Legend has it that in the ancient times, several Old Gods descended upon this world at the command of the Void Lord, but one of them quarreled with the others, resulting in conflict. With no Titans or Guardians around, and the primal gods yet to rise, the world was defenseless. Thus, the other Old Gods united to attack this lone deity and devoured it, gaining special powers through the consumption.”

“If I’m not mistaken, this kind of Legion should be collectively called Blood Deformities. They are imbued with the nature of nightmares and have absorbed the powers of decay, twisting, and mutations. Could it be that your realm is the site where the sealed Old God fell?”

The more Li Yao thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. He had never anticipated encountering such troop types, especially an Unparalleled Deformed Hero. With such a bizarre and formidable Legion capable of restraining his own, there were only a few.

“Brilliant, simply brilliant. You actually know even more than I do,” Mogutai clapped his hands. “But there is no reward. Given your knowledge, you should also know that your Iron Legion will only corrode into worthless scrap metal before my Deformed Legion.” As he spoke, the Deformed Legion charged frenziedly towards the cockroach army.

Li Yao frowned slightly and ordered, “Retract the Melting Armor. Fight in base form.”…
