Chapter 1334: Resurrected Legion
The original black humus was like a pot of frozen fat.
Now, the fat had been boiled into a pot of boiling meat soup.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King both heard “gloop gloop” sounds coming from the “meat soup.”
One could even see bubbles emerging from the depths of the black humus, exploding and annihilating.
The explosion of these bubbles caused ripples to appear on the surface of the black humus, forming crisscrossing patterns that were mysterious and complicated like a giant totem or magic array.
As the black humus melted, Meng Chao and the Wolf King also discovered that almost all the statues in the Silent Army, including Fist and the stomach-less king, had sunk into the legs of the black humus, they were all covered with countless black traces.
It was as if countless black slugs had crawled out of the black humus and crawled into the body of the statue through its legs.
Just now, these traces were dim and merged with the statue, so the two of them didn’t notice it immediately.
But now, as the black humus melted, or rather, “Regained its vitality,”the black stripes that looked like slugs started to glow with a demonic light. They expanded bit by bit and became like blood vessels and nerves, the weird network around the statue.
“Dong Dong, Dong Dong!”
The sound of footsteps and war drums was heard again.
This time, it did not come from the depths of the square formation.
Instead, it came from the center of the square formation not far away from Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King finally realized that compared to the footsteps and the war drums, the continuous sound of “Dong Dong, Dong Dong”was more like a strong and powerful heartbeat.
Along with the increasingly heavy and rapid “Heartbeat”sounds, the black humus completely melted into a highly mobile black liquid.
More and more bubbles spurted out of the surface of the black liquid.
The bubbles exploded, and more and more intense ripples appeared.
It was as if the entire black liquid was boiling.
The black blood vessels that were winding around the statue were expanding even more.
They were like giant black pythons that were slowly wriggling on the statue’s body. Then, they entered the body of the statue through its seven apertures and wounds.
However, the ‘Giant Black Pythons’did not devour the internal organs of the statue.
On the contrary, they seemed to have extracted a large amount of black liquid from the foot of the statue and poured it into the body of the statue.
As the black liquid poured in, the statue’s body, which had been as thin as firewood, gradually expanded and became plump.
The armor, which had been dim a moment ago, also gave off a translucent texture.
Even the hair carved out of metal seemed to be quivering slightly in the lifeless underground space. They were standing up and ready to fight.
Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong
Right now, the intense heartbeats that sounded like the drums of hell were coming from the chests of fist and stomach-less king in front of Meng Chao and Wolf King.
No, it was not just fist and stomach-less king.
It was also all the legendary heroes that had emerged in Tu Lanze in the past ten thousand years.
Thousands of enormous hearts seemed to have broken out of the fossil-like seals.
Every drop of blood and even every cell in the heart had regained their vitality, and they once again let out the strongest voice that could fight the heavens and the earth and shake the world.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King finally realized what the “Black humus”they were stepping on was.
It was a liquid-like metal substance, exactly the same as the raw material that was condensed into totem armor!
So many statues that were molded into the image of legendary heroes in front of them were actually all made of liquid-like metal substances!
“This… This is impossible!”
Meng Chao and the Wolf King could not believe their eyes.
Although the liquid-like metal could freely change its molecular structure and even the atomic energy layer under the impetus of psionic energy, it could change its shape and even repair itself as it wished.
When it attached itself to a carbon-based intelligent life form, it could also stimulate the brain of the carbon-based intelligent life form, increasing its computational ability and deduction ability. It could play the role of an artificial intelligence combat assistant system.
However, liquid metal-like substances could only be used under the control of carbon-based creatures.
Even if the origin warrior was swallowed by the out-of-control totem armor and turned into a half-flesh, half-machine, crazy monster.
Theoretically speaking, he was still alive. The deformed body of flesh and blood still had billions of living cells.
The totem armor that had lost its owner was a cold, dead object.
Perhaps, it would release weak magnetic field fluctuations to simulate the brainwaves of carbon-based intelligent creatures, attracting the attention of its next owner.
But it was impossible for it to have its own heartbeat and will!
“Could it be that the corpses of the legendary heroes are really sealed inside these statues made of liquid metal?
“This is impossible. Even if there are the corpses of the legendary heroes inside these damn things, it has been at least three to five thousand years since the fall of the legendary heroes. Even the bones should have been turned into ashes. How can they control the liquid metal-like substances to emit such a strong heartbeat?”
Just as Meng Chao and the Wolf King felt their scalps go numb.
The “Fist”in front of them slowly opened its eyes.
It — his eyeballs still maintained a translucent, non-human feeling, like two glass balls that were about to melt.
In the depths of the glass balls, there was an incomparably scorching light, like two burning sabers, scanning Meng Chao and the Wolf King like butchers dissecting cows.
“Creak, Creak, Creak.”.
The statue, which was made of liquid-like metal substances and looked like the founder of the Bloody Hoof clan, raised the triangle of death inch by inch with a sharp and ear-piercing scraping sound, it was an iron fist that made the entire Tulan land tremble.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty at the same time.
They felt that their saliva had turned into an iron caltrop, and they felt a sharp pain in their throats.
The Iron Fist of the ‘fist’seemed to be holding a black hole, wanting to absorb all the air around it, as well as the power of Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
Not only did it make them unable to breathe, but they even had the urge to flee.
“What… What should we do?”
Meng Chao humbly sought Wolf King’s opinion. “Should we make a strategic detour and retreat 30 to 50 kilometers before these damn things wake up completely? We’ll see what happens.”
“Of course not. Are you crazy? In the temple of the Sacred Mountain, the last thing we should do is retreat without a fight!”
Wolf King’s voice was trembling. Meng Chao could see that his pupils were rapidly dilating and searching, just like his drum-like heartbeat.
However, he was still like a rusty nail that was firmly nailed in front of the founder of the Bloody Hoof Clan. He gritted his teeth and said, “Do you still remember how we entered the temple of the sacred mountain? The ancestral spirits don’t like cowards. They can only have a slim chance of survival if they summon up their courage and fight to the end. If they want to flee, only death awaits them
“What you mean is –”
Meng Chao widened his eyes as he looked at the ‘fist’that was emitting an increasingly brutal light and the Iron Fist that was rising higher and higher, “Must we grit our teeth and stand here and withstand the fatal blow of the founder of the Bloody Hoof Clan?”
“No.”
The wolf king said, “It might not be a ‘one blow’, but it might be a few hundred blows that are bombarded indiscriminately.”
Meng Chao:”…”
The wolf king: “Of course, no one wants you to stand there like a fool. You can also fight back and fight against the greatest warrior in the history of Turan ZE. This is the glory that countless beastmen warriors have dreamed of!”
Meng Chao:”…”
The wolf king: “Listen, I know that this sounds very stupid and even crazy, but my instincts tell me that this is the only way to survive.
“No matter what, there are so many statues made of the raw materials of the totem armor. They wouldn’t appear here for no reason.
“I highly suspect that this is a test set by the ancestral spirit, or some very advanced training method.
“Think about it. What other method can stimulate your combat ability more than the greatest warrior in the history of Turan Ze to be your opponent? Can you advance rapidly in the shortest time and exceed your limits
“Yes, that makes sense. I hope you’re Right!”
Meng Chao looked at the Iron Fist that was ready to be launched.
The spiritual flames that shot out from the gaps between his fingers reminded Meng Chao of the air currents that spurted out crazily before the rocket was launched.
Of course, it was the rocket that was carrying a nuclear warhead.
His rationality told him that he should trust the judgment of the Wolf King.
After all, the “Jackal”kanus in his previous life had successfully obtained the inheritance of the Holy Mountain and returned to Crimson Gold City from the Holy Mountain of Tulan. He had begun his magnificent life of uniting Tulan ZE, marching north, and battling the Holy Light Temple.
This was enough to prove that he had not been killed by these strange statues.
Instead, he had absorbed an unparalleled power from the statues.
The instinct that originated from the depths of his genes had hijacked Meng Chao’s central nervous system, sending out bolts of lightning of fear to his muscle fibers and nerve endings, causing every cell in his body to scream and tremble crazily.
However, Meng Chao gritted his teeth and controlled the instinctive fear.
Just like the Wolf King, he activated his life magnetic field to its limit. Spiritual energy instantly filled every blood vessel and every nerve. His muscles swelled to their limits, and the liquid-like metal materials on his totem armor also surged crazily towards his arms, the thickness of his arm armor doubled. Then, he crossed his arms like an indestructible shield, firmly blocking in front of him.
At the moment when they raised their defense to the limit.
Boom!
The iron fist of the “Fist”whistled over.
When the Iron Fist was launched, Meng Chao really heard the roar of a rocket rising into the air or the full power of the “Dragon Power Cannon”, the largest train cannon in Dragon City.
He even saw the air compressed by the iron fist, forming an overwhelming shock wave like a heavy bomb falling to the ground.
Then, he felt that he had crossed his defense, and his arms that were like iron walls seemed to have disappeared.
A apocalyptic beast that weighed thousands of tons fell from the sky like a burning meteorite and ruthlessly smashed into his face..
