Chapter 2068 - 2061: Taste the Flavor of Fear
After resolving the crisis in the west, Zhang Menglong immediately headed to the defensive lines on the other two sides. To speed things up, he even summoned shadow clones to go to both places.
Fortunately, the other two places had not completely fallen, but there’s no doubt that human martial artists suffered severe losses, even to the point of saying it was devastating! Even among humans, more than half of the over one hundred Dao Realm limit experts were killed or injured, which was a heavier loss than that in the Myriad Tribes battle for supremacy.
And all this was caused by merely fifty or sixty ordinary members of the Sacrifice God Clan.
This allowed Zhang Menglong to clearly see the gap between humans and top-tier races, making him realize that the matter of humans becoming stronger to survive here was urgent!
"Ying Zheng, have you counted how many people have sacrificed themselves?" Zhang Menglong asked with a pale face. Although the lost resources were basically exploded from those people, the ones sacrificed could never be resurrected.
Zhang Menglong’s resurrection methods were useful in other worlds, but in this world where the rules were set, they completely lost their effect, and those people could never be resurrected again.
"The casualties are extremely heavy, with over 2 million dead and over 5 million injured!"
Ying Zheng said through gritted teeth. Since he became king, such massive losses have only happened to his enemies. Back then, the killing god Bai Qi slaughtered tens of thousands of enemies, but these two million people were truly a terrifying number.
Zhang Menglong’s expression remained unchanged as he was accustomed to life and death, having personally experienced the death of billions on past battlefields. The numbers of several million casualties did not shock him much.
If he were slower, those Sacrifice God Clan experts could completely wipe out tens of millions of humans with just dozens of people!
But now the anger in Zhang Menglong’s heart was uncontrollable!
"This time we failed!" Ying Zheng said, "But fortunately, Menglong, you avenged them."
"No, this matter is far from over!" Zhang Menglong said coldly.
"Are you planning to make trouble for the Sacrifice God Clan in the Myriad Tribes battle for supremacy?" Ying Zheng roughly guessed Zhang Menglong’s idea.
"A gentleman’s revenge is never too late for ten thousand years; that’s a gentleman’s way, but I am not," Zhang Menglong said, "I am a petty man; I never hold a grudge overnight because I usually resolve it the same day! Waiting half a year for that Myriad Tribes battle while swallowing my anger is worse than killing me!"
"You want to go now?"
"With these Insect Clan legions, the Great City of Aiville can withstand for two or three months easily; if quick, I might be back in three to five days!"
"Menglong, the Sacrifice God Clan is not easy to deal with; you’ve seen their strength, they turned us humans upside down with just dozens of them, going to their Main City is too dangerous."
"I want to let them know that we humans are not pushovers either!" Zhang Menglong said, "I’m confident! Keep these things!"
Zhang Menglong handed a space storage device to Ying Zheng, "With these, even if we encounter something similar again, we can definitely resist and won’t be completely unable to fight back."
Ying Zheng swept his spiritual power, and he was immediately frightened.
Inside the ring was a mountain of scrolls and crystals!
These items, recording the special powers of ancient races, were invaluable, and Zhang Menglong had collected so many!
"Are these dropped from the warcraft you killed?"
"Yes, just part of them," Zhang Menglong said, "I plan to leave the rest for the Sacrifice God Clan!"
"Hiss!" Ying Zheng gasped; this space storage ring had at least several thousand items, and Zhang Menglong probably had even more on him! The power and effect of each item varied greatly.
If the Black Demon Dragon King were brought onto the battlefield and unleashed its true power, the Sacrifice God Clan’s Main City might not withstand it!
If there were a few particularly powerful scrolls, perhaps two or three could directly annihilate the entire Sacrifice God Clan!
By taking so many scrolls and crystals over there, Zhang Menglong clearly did not intend for the Sacrifice God Clan to continue surviving here!
"Take care," Ying Zheng reminded, "They might have collected some scrolls or other weapons too, don’t fall into their trap."
"Don’t worry," Zhang Menglong waved his hand, "No need to wait for me for dinner tonight!"
After speaking, Zhang Menglong tore open a scroll, which he found on those Sacrifice God Clan martial artists. As long as the space wasn’t locked, it could quickly transport them anywhere outside the Sacrifice God Clan’s Main City.
As the scroll was activated, Zhang Menglong’s body instantly appeared on the horizon miles away.
...
The Sacrifice God Clan’s Main City, called Divine Grace City, is a gigantic city about ten times the size of a human city. This city is filled with high-tech equipment, and the wealth accumulated by the Sacrifice God Clan ancestors over generations has turned this city into a war fortress!
Countless warcraft were attacking the city, their numbers and intensity several levels stronger than what humans faced. But despite the massive warcraft attacks, the city remained extremely sturdy.
On the city walls, countless weapons unleashed firepower on the beast tide, though the power fell short of the Super Divine Cannon or the Ultimate Bomb, it was undeniable that it’s currently untouchable by human technology.
Their technological weapons could destroy hordes of King Level and Emperor Level warcraft with a single shot, while the Sacrifice God Clan experts only needed to kill those Emperor Level warcraft that breached their defenses.
Outside, the battle was intense, yet within Divine Grace City, peace and calm persisted, the warcraft attack posed minimal threat to internal life.
This was the composure and ease displayed by a top-tier race during a beast tide.
Some Sacrifice God Clan experts also crossed the fire lines to leave Divine Grace City or return to it, perhaps some of them, like those who attacked humans, were taking advantage of the chaos to plunder and kill.
"No wonder they’re ranked in the top 100 races, quite leisurely!" Zhang Menglong’s figure appeared in the sky outside Divine Grace City, "While other races fight tooth and nail, they only send a small fraction and it’s resolved."
Of course, Zhang Menglong did not envy them. The efforts of the Sacrifice God Clan pioneers to achieve this situation were unimaginable to Zhang Menglong.
The Sacrifice God Clan people had evidently noticed this outsider youth suddenly appearing in the sky.
"Who are you? What are you doing at our Sacrifice God Clan?" A Sacrifice God Clan expert didn’t immediately assume Zhang Menglong was an invader.
They clearly understood, anyone who leisurely visited other races during such times was definitely unusual.
"What am I doing?" Zhang Menglong coldly laughed, "Oh, perhaps you do not know, your Sacrifice God Clan people came to our race’s city and slaughtered a million people; now do you know why I am here?"
The Sacrifice God Clan martial artist unnaturally smiled when Zhang Menglong interrogated him.
"Killed a million of your race? Seems it’s not much of a race, sending just a small fry after all.""
He laughed at Zhang Menglong, "A million is just a million, they are dead; what do you want to do about it?"
"Indeed, your entire race is like this, extremely self-centered, not treating lives of other races as lives," Zhang Menglong seemed prepared for such an answer.
"In that case," Zhang Menglong also revealed an unusual smile, "Let’s let you taste the feeling of fear!"
