Chapter 496: Don’t Worry, This Must Be the Strongest Enemy Hero, Betrayal

Leading the way were the Forest Barbarians, their eyes wide as they gazed into the fog, which limited visibility to just forty to fifty meters. They carried rusty and worn iron axes and large knives, bearing marks of dried blood that suggested the numerous foes who had met their demise at their hands.
Although their vision was greatly hindered by the fog, they became even more excited. The enemies trembling in the ruins gave them a sense of thrill, like cats hunting mice.
The chieftain of this tribe of Forest Barbarians held a rune-inscribed war axe in each hand, his face revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
“You little mice better hide well. Don’t let me find you so quickly, or it will be very boring for me.”
“All of you, stay alert! Open your eyes wide and find those mice hidden here for me!”
The chieftain shouted loudly.
Hoo—
Following the chaotic formation, the Forest Barbarians also responded with some primitive roars, as if the surrounding fog was being dispelled.
The chieftain nodded in satisfaction, not caring that their formation had already become chaotic.
After all, as long as they launched a charge, those frail insects would collapse under their axes, and they would easily follow behind to collect a heap of skulls.
Gradually, this army of Forest Barbarians distanced themselves from the main force and ran ahead. The other intelligent units didn’t say much since they didn’t belong to the same lord and had no authority to command.
Wu Lun who could command these barbarians remained in the rear.
Leading the tribe’s warriors into what looked like a small square, there were no building ruins here, only a collapsed statue and some debris. The chieftain’s eyes, like copper bells, rolled around and finally stopped in the middle of the square.
There stood tall and robust figures.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Little mice, you’ve finally stopped hiding, haven’t you? Very well, let me taste the flavor of your blood.”
“All of you, use your axes to split open their skulls, tear their flesh with your teeth, and kill them in the cruelest way possible! Let them know the terror and power of our barbarians!”
“Charge!!”
With a command, the nine hundred forest barbarians rushed forward with wild enthusiasm, resembling a pack of unleashed wild dogs charging towards the enemy.
Only when they got closer did they see the faces of the enemy.
Snake-tailed serpents, draped in green scales, wielding bone blades in each hand.
Their numbers on this road were not many, just a few dozen, but the emotionless blood-red eyes sent shivers down his spine.
However, he soon broke into a cold smile. After all, he was a green-tier elite hero, ten times more powerful than his fellow warriors of the same kind. How could he possibly be defeated by these snake-tailed creatures!
“Kill!”
Facing the oncoming forest barbarians, those snake-tailed creatures slowly raised their menacing bone blades.
On both sides of the peninsula…
Ten meters underwater…
Teams of half-snake soldiers were moving towards the coastal blockade zone. Occasionally, they extended and retracted their snake tongues, sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding water.
Once they detected the presence of an enemy, they would transform into aquatic executioners, using their bone sickles to sink any vessels attempting to leave the surface, killing all enemies in the water.
At this moment, they suddenly sensed unusual and faint movements from below and looked down one after another.
As half-snake creatures, they mainly operated in shallow waters. They wouldn’t venture into waters deeper than a hundred meters because the immense water pressure would crush their bodies, which had adapted to shallow waters.
The ability to withstand such tremendous water pressure undoubtedly belonged to a more formidable race.
Uruto, a white common-tier half-snake hero who led the half-snake people, extended his snake tongue and carefully sensed the surroundings. As a hero unit, he possessed a much more powerful sensing ability.
His expression suddenly changed, and he rapidly shook his snake tongue, transmitting a different frequency of waves.
“Quick, take cover! High-speed objects are approaching!”
Before the other half-snake individuals could react, tridents emitting endless eerie light shot rapidly from the depths, effortlessly piercing their bodies like blades through fabric, leaving sharp tips to penetrate their chests.
Then, as if pulled back by some force, the tridents retracted, returning to the deep waters, leaving behind only turbulent water currents.
But before the few surviving half-snake individuals could feel lucky, another round of tridents shot out like the scythes of death, ruthlessly harvesting their lives.
The half-snake hero stared in horror at the pitch-black deep water. He could sense the unusual movements hidden in the depths. The consecutive deaths of his companions made him feel fear for the first time.
In what seemed like an emotional release, he transmitted a specific frequency wave that only sea creatures could hear, cursing vehemently.
“Do you dare to come out from there!? Only cowards hide in the darkness for ambushes!”
“Do you dare to face Uruto head-on! You despicable and shameless scoundrels!”
However, the darkness did not respond to him, as if an elephant ignored the cries of ants, simply sowing death with every step.
Several tridents, accompanied by intense water currents, rushed toward them. Uruto’s face changed drastically, and he quickly raised his bone sickle to block.
Thunk—
A powerful force emanated from the tridents, causing his arms to go numb, but he had to forcibly resist. The tridents struck the bone sickle one after another, and blood seeped from the corners of Uruto’s mouth, diluted by the seawater..
