Chapter 309: Chapter 243: Mosquito Fly Hero! The long-prepared trump card!
Ten massive hellfires were summoned by Beck Roland, their tall bodies blazing with black-green lava.
A casual step would leave a large pit on the ground.
The intense flames and rolling lava reduced the surrounding Mosquito Fly Alien Beasts to scorched screams.
A swarm of Mosquito Flies launched an attack on the hellfires.
Regrettably, being elemental creatures, the hellfires consisted of enormous rocks, lava, and fire.
Their attack was no more than a tickle to the hellfires.
On the contrary, the flames and lava of the hellfires reduced the swarm of Mosquito Flies to cries for mercy.
Their wings, mouthparts, and limbs couldn’t withstand the flames for long.
“Attack!!!”
Called by Beck, the Mosquito Flies that rushed out first were completely defeated in less than an hour.
The army, push on!
“Roaring….!”
Ten hellfires cleared the way, with the back earth dragon knights and the Griffin knights gradually advancing, gnawing away at the Mosquito Flies’ territory.
Behind them were ten Silverback Ironclad Dragons forming a formation, protecting a towering totem.
The Pillar of Life.
Zheng Cheng moved the Pillar of Life for this war.
Under the light of life, as long as their heads were not bitten off in an instant, they could recover.
With this continuous advancement, Zheng Cheng reached the depths of the forest without even lifting a finger!
Three days later, Zheng Cheng’s main forces faced a stubborn attack!
A swarm of giant flies, taller than average humans, along with countless other Mosquito Flies, flew out.
Accompanying them, a particularly dense fog of blackness coagulated, rolling in like a black ocean.
Plague!
These Mosquito Flies were indeed full-grown, naturally carrying a dreadful plague.
Any creature who inhaled the tiniest bit would be infected by the plague and subsequently die of illness!
Unfortunately….
Zheng Cheng’s vanguard had the protection of a Penicillin Parasite Body Shield.
Charge, burn a circle with the Mages, and all plague viruses will die!
Especially the existence of hellfire, which is a natural counter to the plague.
These days, Beck had been hugging the Pillar of Life, just to keep his spirits up.
After ten hellfires were dissipated or destroyed in suicide attacks, summon another ten!
Then, the main forces would advance and participate in the battle against the Alien Beasts.
After three days of continuous fighting, Zheng Cheng’s army has sustained heavy losses.
However, with the protection of the Pillar of Life, they still possess the power to fight.
After killing these Mosquito Flies, Zheng Cheng noticed something.
The number of six-star soul beasts on the Hero Altar has reached ten thousand points again.
That means, two more people can be promoted to heroes.
“Niu Jindao! Yang Hou’er!”
“We are here!”
The two, covered in blood and flesh, quickly rushed over, kneeling down in front of Zheng Cheng.
“The soul accumulation on the Hero’s Altar is sufficient. It is time for both of you to advance.”
The two expressed gratitude, “Thank you, Lord!”
Then, one mounted a Silverback Ironclad Dragon the other a Griffin, returning home to undergo their Hero promotion.
Meanwhile, the main forces advanced.
Finally, on this day, with more than half of the troops lost, the main forces arrived at a huge… Sea of maggots!
Astonishingly, the dense forest was almost entirely filled with maggots the size of adult heads.
Mixed in the sticky viscous liquid, they wriggled endlessly, as though they were swimming.
As though sensing the arrival of humans, the maggots closest to the troops began to swarm, crawling towards the fastest Raptor team.
“Quick, report to the Lord!”
Soon, Zheng Cheng and his main forces arrived at this location.
As expected, myriads of wriggling maggots filled his view.
This was the first time Zheng Cheng had seen such a scene, worse than the dry toilets of his school days.
An expanse of white maggots, at least tens of thousands.
“So many bugs…”
Shadai jumped in fright, clinging tightly to Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng comforted, “Don’t be scared, these are just maggots, the larvae of giant flies. They pose no threat to us!”
“A touch of fire would…burn them all!”
As his words fell, the maggots at the forefront exploded. A large swarm of tiny, black mosquitoes flew towards Zheng Cheng and Shadai.
Or more precisely, towards Zheng Cheng!
Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter!
As long as they take down Zheng Cheng, all these human soldiers…will succumb to despair without a fight.
However, just as the swarm of tiny flies soared out, Zheng Cheng stepped forward and threw a punch. A cyan light flashed, instantly dispersing this swarm of mosquitoes!
“I’ve been waiting for you…!”
Having used the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, Zheng Cheng had long detected his target hiding in the sea of maggots.
The hero of the Mosquito Fly Tribe!
“Boom!”
Another punch and the figure dressed in black clothes, who had just rushed out, faltered and then rocketed into the sky.
At the same time, he spat out another large cloud of mosquitoes, enveloping Zheng Cheng.
But simultaneously, the cyan light on Zheng Cheng shone again, dispersing this swarm of mosquitoes once more.
“How is it possible!”
The figure in black roared furiously, “You are actually immune to my plague power, who on earth are you?”
“Even a mage’s Body Shield couldn’t completely protect the whole body…”
Zheng Cheng chuckled coldly and stepped forward, charging towards the figure in black clothes.
“Damn it…!”
The black-clothed old woman continued to retreat with doubled speed; suddenly sprouting two pairs of almost transparent, colorful wings on her back.
“Don’t underestimate my Mosquito Fly Tribe. If it wasn’t for nurturing my most loyal children, your kind would have been completely devoured by my tribe long ago!”
“My children! Your food has arrived, wake up quickly!”
“Rumble…!”
With her furious roar, the sea of maggots exploded, and more giant flies rushed out.
Unlike the previous black-green flies, these recently hatched flies were much larger, with colorful wings and a faint gold colored fur covering their bodies!
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Under the old woman’s humming, the swarm of giant flies immediately charged over.
“Kill!”
On the Human Tribe’s end, Baker also bellowed furiously.
Arrows, flames, and violent wind exploded forth, attacking the swarm of giant flies.
But… this is the Mosquito Fly Tribe’s temporary base, where the black-clothed old woman has bred a large number of giant flies.
Especially this last swarm of giant flies, which has grown stronger after consuming a large amount of giant trees cultivated by Cui Xiabing, a tree herder.
Upgraded power!
“Pfft!”
“Charge!”
“Kill these giant flies!”
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Countless giant flies collided with the Griffin Knights, every moment at least one giant fly pierced by a knight’s weapon.
Yet, many Griffon Knights had their heads torn apart by the giant flies, their bodies along with their griffins brutally smashed onto the ground.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Ten Hellfires charged into the center of the battlefield under Baker’s command, only to be surrounded by hundreds of giant flies, fearlessly counterattacking.
The fastest Hellfire was even knocked to the ground by dozens of giant flies who started ferociously tearing at it.
Zheng Cheng frowned, this swarm’s strength far surpassed the previous giant flies.
Since that is the case… he could use one of the killing moves he had been preparing for a long time.
He caught a crimson jade pendant in his hand, and with an underhand throw, sent it to the distance.
Accompanied by subtle chants, prayers, and murmurings, the faint red light enveloped almost the entire battlefield.
Instantaneously, a colossal figure bathed in a crimson hue appeared at the center of the battlefield!
