Chapter 179: Chapter 93 Dog King and Giant Deer

Zone 34, outside Huai Mountain hills

Although it was the time of day when the sun’s rays are most fierce, and the recent weather had been generally stable with the sun eternally blazing,

the ground at this moment seemed to be contending with the scorching sun, as if night had fallen, devoid of any brightness.

Only upon closer inspection could one see that it was not the invasion of the night over day but the entire world covered with a pitch-dark carpet of blood flesh.

The dark blood flesh was like a black hole capable of devouring all light, spreading over every tree, every piece of land, turning the world into a paradise for the insect swarm.

Except for...

The area near the mountain range.

Centered on the main peak of Huai Mountain, within a distance of about 3 kilometers, a clear dividing line between night and day emerged.

One side was shrouded in darkness, while the other side remained lushly green or brown as it naturally was.

But the darkness was steadily eroding the colorful world, as threads of black slowly crept inwards, laying the dark carpet toward the several verdant hills led by the main peak.

And on the top of a dark hill facing the main peak, several figures gazed toward the main peak.

The leader among them was none other than Bai Sheng, who was responsible for this territorial conquest.

Her gaze was focused on that part of the mountains, aware that it contained the region’s strongest 6th-tier mutant creatures, the giant deer, as well as a Dog King on the verge of breaking through to the 6th tier.

Although she had already killed several 5th-tier creatures and even captured a few, when it came to the 6th tier, this was the swarm’s first attempt.

This giant deer, having only recently advanced to the 6th tier, was regarded as the weakest among its peers.

If the swarm couldn’t even defeat a giant deer, how could they contend with the ape by White Poplar Lake?

For this battle, she had made ample preparations!

In terms of high-level combat power alone, she had at least several times more than the last time she faced White Poplar Sanctuary.

Last time at White Poplar Sanctuary, her master had just emerged, bringing along only 3 5th-tier creatures including the Sunshine Sunflower, coupled with various Abnormal Objects, and they had managed to take over a Sanctuary with 5 5th-tier creatures.

This time, even though the Sunflower remained within the territory and did not come, they were joined by 3 5th-tier creatures from White Poplar Sanctuary as well as two from Huaisan Sanctuary!

Just these alone accounted for 9 individuals, not to mention the Monkey King and the White Feathered Owl who agreed to lend their strength after hearing about the situation, a total of 11 5th-tier creatures!

Aside from that, just moments ago, she had received a pleasant surprise.

Among the swarm that feasted on Extraordinary Relics daily like fighting crickets, one had finally succeeded in devouring a level 6 relic, the Erosion Worm, and achieved a breakthrough to the 5th tier!

The Swarm Consciousness was already making full effort to adapt to the newfound ability and would participate in this upcoming battle!

Though Bai Fa and her companions were still in the process of exchanging and learning, preparing for the master’s next plan, and thus not bringing additional users of Abnormal Objects,

these relics did not gather dust but were entrusted to the 5th-tier parasites.

For instance, the scales were given to the Grand Judge, Bai Sheng had once speculated whether the Grand Judge’s Extraordinary Ability combined with the scales could produce some amplified effects.

In the recent battle at Huaisan Sanctuary, she put this idea into practice.

Although the end result was not mutual amplification, the scale could still unilaterally strong-arm the Grand Judge’s Strength, making the rules he enforced more compelling, which was a decent enhancement in itself.

Besides these high-tier combat powers, the foundational insect swarm of the territory was far stronger than last time!

Compared to the battle at White Poplar City Sanctuary last time, although no new abilities were obtained, there was a significant breakthrough from the 3rd to the 4th tier.

Moreover, with the addition of the Superpower Users and miscellaneous combat powers brought back from Huaisan Sanctuary, the strength was also much greater than in the last battle!

And this time, she had also received all remaining swarm cards from her master, ready to summon eighty thousand swarm units into battle at any moment!

As for the two Beast Kings in the mountains, she had also pieced together detailed intelligence from the information of Huaisan Sanctuary and the memories shared among various Superpower Users.

Although the exact abilities of the two Beast Kings were still not entirely clear, once the battle commenced, by issuing multiple attempts with the seals, they would eventually find the weaknesses.

The respective tribes of the two Beast Kings in the valley would fall under the jurisdiction of the insect swarm.

All preparations were in place, just waiting for the master’s gaze to fall upon them, and she would be able to bring the master another great victory!

Bring about the first kill of a 6th-tier creature in the territory!

"Hmm?"

Bai Sheng suddenly sensed a fluctuation of Magic Power beside her but, before she could turn to look, a smile blossomed on her face.

She had already felt the gaze from the swarm network.

The reopened Teleportation Gate reconnected this local swarm network with the territory, and the nearby dark masses began to stir collectively.

It was the swarm, merged into the Fungus Blanket with the help of their protective coloring!

Sensing the will of the Queen, and realizing that the slaughter was about to begin, their inner impulses were hard to contain.

And as the excitement spread over the Swarm Network through the Fungus Blanket, the Swarm Consciousness became excited.

The first to step through the Space Gate was a tall monkey holding a metal rod, exuding the momentum of a 5th-tier creature and the presence of Spirit, giving it a rather impressive appearance.

But the White Feathered Owl following behind brought back a reality check.

Since its wingspan was incompatible with passing through the Space Gate, its original plan to fly out elegantly was foiled, and it was forced to hop over on foot, looking comically talented...

And what followed were naturally the 5th-tier Erosion Worms that had just completed their ascension.

Bai Sheng thought it was over, but to her surprise, there was more!

The Space Gate expanded twofold in size, and from it emerged a comparatively "short" Tree-man. Although Bai Sheng had never seen one with her own eyes, she had already heard of it through the Swarm Network.

That was the Master’s Avatar!

"You don’t need to worry about me; I am just here to observe and won’t interfere with your command. Shortly, You will take control of this Tree-man, so don’t feel any psychological pressure."

Bai Yi’s voice resonated from the Tree-man, and this time, not in the presence of outsiders, she didn’t need to disguise her voice.

"Yes!

Then Master, I shall begin now!"

Bai Sheng immediately adjusted her mindset, snapping out of her excitement and swiftly calculating how to utilize this combat power.

In fact, Bai Yi didn’t need to emphasize this point. As part of the Insect Swarm, Bai Sheng wouldn’t have many reservations—if it proved useful, she would rebel against the heavens on the spot and throw the task right back in Bai Yi’s face.

Or rather, she had already done so.

Enhancements like Biological Armor and Bionic Golden Core were her proposals, although due to research progress, they had not yet reached the stage where they could be applied to Bai Sheng and her counterparts.

After briefly contemplating, Bai Sheng quickly reorganized her tactics to incorporate the Tree-man’s position.

Without needing further instruction from Bai Sheng, the Superpower Users behind her, and others concealed in various other directions who were also 5th-tier, began to mobilize.

Simultaneously, the countless Insect Swarm surrounding the peak of Huai Mountain began flapping their wings in unison, creating a sky-covering black cloud that enveloped the main peak.

In an instant, the entire Swarm started to act upon a single command from Bai Sheng.

"This space is stable, forbidding Space Transmission!"

"Mind powers are prohibited here!"

The Grand Judge’s voice, with the reinforcement of the scales, became even more authoritative, even commanding the presence of facing a 6th-tier adversary.

Both rules were the results of the Grand Judge’s own Extraordinary Ability—a tactic Bai Sheng had considered carefully based on existing intelligence. His own Extraordinary Ability was more flexible compared to the scales, capable of being exchanged at will.

The flaw of insufficient strength in restrictions was successfully compensated for with the scales’ influence, and while still not comparable to the scales, it was enough for a probe!

Following the two rules came a violent storm that swept across the main peak, stemming from the Wind power User and also from the Storm Staff in his hand.

With the aid of the Abnormal Object, his hurricane maintained its lethality against 5th-tier even when covering such a vast area; while not fatal, it served only to delay and control, plus...

...it laid in wait with the Thunder Power User’s true killing move, hidden within— the raging Lightning!

The two Beast Kings, thus suppressed, couldn’t possibly remain silent.

After a startlingly powerful bellow, the forests trembled.

Stationed on a distant hill, Bai Sheng witnessed the giant deer’s intervention for the first time, and finally understood why the territory’s Lord had given it such a nickname.

The exquisitely polished antlers were aglow with Magic Power, and before it seemed to appear an invisible shield that began charging through the mountains.

Protected by the shield, neither the hurricane nor the lightning bolts, nor even the trees and rocks in its path could stop its charge—they shattered beneath the thunderous stomp of its hooves!

Bai Sheng even suspected that if it were to ram straight into Huai Mountain’s main peak, the victor would still be none other than this giant deer!

"It’s not Telekinesis...

It seems now that the charging force comes more from within itself, and the principle behind that shield is unclear.

But that doesn’t matter, Sealing doesn’t require full understanding of the principles!"

Bai Sheng thought rapidly and dispatched orders through the Swarm Network.

Several 5th-tier in the air immediately shifted their tactics, and their offensive changed drastically.

The wind and lightning no longer attempted to affect the giant deer. The Superpower User stopped using their ability and handed the Storm Staff over to the nearby Thunder Power User.

Frenzied lightning, amplified by the ability and the Abnormal Object, began to converge rapidly, ready to unleash its full power in a single strike.

"No building of shields is permitted in this area!"

The Grand Judge’s imposing voice rang out once more, this time not using his own Extraordinary Ability but directly invoking the scales!

As the Grand Judge’s words transformed into established rules, the invisible shield around the giant deer instantly shattered.

The Thunder Power User seized this opportunity, and a three-meter-wide bolt of lightning struck the giant deer.

This time without the barrier’s interference, the lightning coursed over its body, ripping through its flesh and leaving trails of scorched black and flames, eliciting a cry from the giant deer even more soul-shaking than its previous bellow.

But Bai Sheng was not the only one seeking opportunities.

While everyone’s attention was on the impact of this strike, a black silhouette appeared in the sky, next to several Superpower Users, extending deadly claws toward them!

That was the previously unseen Dog King!

...

"The Agile Dog": Always appearing in unexpected corners, stretching out its claws towards its prey, it is like an elegant assassin in the night, claiming the lives of one target after another...

[Note: Bai Sheng, next time you record something, don’t make it so flowery, it’s just too different from your image! Write down your true thoughts!]

[Note’s Note: Well... its meat tastes not bad?]
