Chapter 2028 - 2021: Truly Unlucky
"Brother Menglong, this is the token of our Guardian Beast from the Gangyan Clan. I hope it can help you complete this task smoothly!"
"Thank you for the city’s help. Here are 2 million Supreme Crystals and 8,000 Supreme Weapons. I hope your Gangyan Clan develops better and better!"
...
Zhang Menglong has already visited the main cities of 16 races along the way. Each visit began with a tense atmosphere and ended in a mutual benefit and win-win situation.
At the cost of 1-5 million Supreme Crystals and 5,000 to 20,000 Supreme Weapons, Zhang Menglong gained the friendship of one race after another. Of course, Zhang Menglong also carefully selected these races; either they have a good relationship with humans or they have deep-seated hatred against the Ice Demon Clan.
After leaving the Gangyan Clan, Zhang Menglong obtained the tokens of the Guardian Beasts from these 16 races. As soon as he activates the power of these tokens, those Guardian Beasts will immediately appear before him to aid him against hell’s Ice Wing Dragon Bat.
At this point, Zhang Menglong’s insect army has exceeded 500 trillion. The number of Emperor-level Warcraft alone is nearly 100,000, which is almost equivalent to the limit level of the Dao Realm of humans.
The number of King-level Warcraft also exceeds 10 million, while the number at the Lord level exceeds 10 billion, along with countless elites and ordinary-level Warcraft. For any race, such a lineup of Warcraft is almost a natural disaster of destruction; under such an impact, any main city defense is virtually ineffective.
"Almost within the territory of the Ice Demon Clan!" Zhang Menglong checked the map. The territory of the Ice Demon Clan is almost ten times larger than that of humans, worthy of being a powerful super race.
Zhang Menglong activated the gene fragments related to the Ice Demon Clan on his body, and his external appearance and internal ecosystem began to undergo earth-shattering changes. Moments later, he transformed into a creature resembling an ice sculpture. Unlike the ordinary Ice Demon Clan, who have a sea-like light blue on them, Zhang Menglong’s body faintly exudes a hint of purple.
Royal Family of the Ice Demon Clan, they are incredibly rare super individuals, almost akin to the level of Jin Kela in the Insect Clan. However, Jin Kela’s birth was an accident, while the royal bloodline of the Ice Demon Clan has a certain probability of inheritance.
Currently, in the Ice Demon Clan, there are less than ten royal bloodlines, with the total number of royals not exceeding 50.
"Jin Kela, have them dig underground and quietly approach Ice King City, try not to attract the attention of other Ice Demons, and follow my command to be ready to attack at any moment!"
Jin Kela touched Zhang Menglong with its antenna, then emitted a series of squeaky sounds to the insect clan leaders.
Soon, a group of insect warriors came to the front of the team and began madly digging holes into the ground, creating a bottomless passage before them in no time.
"Goodness, they really are organized!" Zhang Menglong praised. Although the insect clan is strictly hierarchical, their biggest feature is that everyone has a distinct role, and they are very united.
This is evident from the widespread presence of the insect clan in this world.
Zhang Menglong continued towards the main city of the Ice Demon Clan, Ice King City. Along the way, he encountered quite a few small groups of Ice Demons engaged in hunting. Their combat style was very straightforward, with almost zero ability to use energy, but their bodies were incredibly powerful, so most combat was primitive brawling!
The Warcraft killed by them hardly died swiftly; instead, they were beaten to death after outright abuse, which was truly unbearable. After all, until the Warcraft completely died and turned into points of light disappearing, they had no difference from ordinary Warcraft.
Zhang Menglong, after familiarizing himself with his own powers, gradually understood the characteristics of the Ice Demons. Because their bodies were so strong, even uncontrollably strong, affecting their daily lives, they often had two forms: normal state and combat state.
In their normal state, they only operate at one percent of their combat state power, with the combat state being called the liberation state. At this time, they unleash their full power, capable of exerting 100% of their strength, which at the same life level is over ten times that of humans.
Unless one possesses extremely powerful cultivation techniques and martial skills, the possibility of humans fighting these Ice Demon warriors is very small!
"Hmm? Trouble ahead!" Zhang Menglong suddenly spotted a group of hunters in danger.
This group of Ice Demons consisted of 12 individuals, with life levels approximately 50 to 100 times that of the Dao Realm, but it appeared extremely unlucky as they encountered a King-level Warcraft, which seemed to be an exceptionally formidable individual, almost reaching Emperor-level!
The Ice Demons had already entered their liberation combat state but were still struggling against this Peak King-level Warcraft. Their fists, legs, and weapons could cause some pain to the Warcraft, but couldn’t even break through its scales, leading to injuries among them.
"Perfect opportunity to blend into Ice King City with these people!" Zhang Menglong immediately had an idea; what he lacked most was intel on the Ice Demon Clan, and even if these individuals didn’t know much, they would provide some basic information.
"No way, this ground Warcraft is too strong. We can’t continue fighting it!" The Ice Demon, appearing to be the leader of the team, consulted with companions.
"But the ground Warcraft is too strong; even if we flee, we might be picked off one by one."
"At times like this, some sacrifices must be made!" The Ice Demon showed a ruthless look, maneuvering in the battle to push an injured clan member towards the ground Warcraft.
The unlucky fellow did not expect his companions to be so treacherous, but in this life-or-death moment, he shockingly burst forth with strength impossible normally, delivering a blow that made the ground Warcraft recoil.
"Run quickly!" The remaining Ice Demons agreed, immediately abandoning their companion and fleeing.
"I curse you all to hell!" The individual watched the backs of fleeing companions, almost grinding his molars to powder; yet this burst of strength allowed him to persist only briefly, dying within ten seconds at the hands of the ground Warcraft.
The ground Warcraft did not stop its killing spree after slaying one Ice Demon, relentlessly pursuing others.
"What a vicious race!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t forget those haunting eyes of escape and the resentful look of the doomed fellow at his death moments.
The Ice Demons are such a race; alongside possessing powerful gifts, their dark side is almost ingrained within their genes.
Zhang Menglong drew out a Supreme Weapon, "If not for the intel, I wouldn’t want to save you trash—such misfortune!"
