Chapter 971: Ecology Battleship, Strong Enemies Attacking
“Haha, let’s see where you guys can run off too now.”
Wang Zhong was very happy.
These ten or more aboriginals ran into a big hall in their anxiety. Other than some metal pipes around, there weren’t even any windows for ventilation.
“You guys are doomed!”
The great teachers blocked the only exit.
“Teacher Wang, how should we split the corpses?”
A great teacher asked, unable to control himself.
The aboriginals’ corpses were very valuable to alchemists and herbalists.
“I’ll take five. You guys can split the rest.”
Wang Zhong didn’t stand on ceremony.
The great teachers’ smiles turned a little stiff. However, Wang Zhong was a 6-stars great teacher, and they couldn’t afford to offend him. They had no choice but to accept this allocation.
“Let’s cut the crap and hurry up!”
Wang Zhong urged.
“Hmm?”
The other famous schools’ teachers and students were stunned. They thought to themselves, (Aren’t you being too uncivilized? You only want the spoils and don’t want to do anything!)
“Why are you guys all in a daze? Hurry up!”
Wang Zhong urged, “After we have killed them, we still have to explore other places.”
The great teachers had no choice but to make a move. In order to prevent any unexpected turn of events, all of their members entered this great hall and crowded over.
The aboriginals exchanged a glance and then suddenly removed the deer leather water bags that were attached to their waists. They smashed the water bags fiercely onto the nearby floor and walls.
Pa! Pa!
The water bags broke and red liquid splattered out. There was also a faint stench that permeated the air.
“What’s that?”
“They seem like blood?”
“I feel that there’s a scheme here!”
The great teachers’ countenances turned grim.
“Regardless if there’s a scheme or not, wouldn’t it be fine if we were to hurry up and kill them all then leave?”
Wang Zhong said in disdain. He also felt that the situation was amiss and thus no longer just waited and watched from the sidelines. However, just as he pounced toward those aboriginals, the pipes above the big hall suddenly trembled and rumbling sounds rang out.
Everyone looked up. About a few seconds later, a stream of black ‘tidal waves’ gushed out from the pipe’s opening.
Rustle! Rustle!
The ‘tidal waves’ gushed down toward the great teachers.
“What the hell?”
Everyone was taken by great surprise, their scalps turning numb.
They had also seen clearly that those ‘tidal waves’ were black bug swarms. Each of the bugs was only the size of a nail cap, and they looked like dung beetles.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Everyone swung their blades instinctively, performing their great techniques, wanting to chase these bugs away. However, there were too many of them. Although a lot of the bugs were killed, more immediately came gushing forth.
Hu!
Everyone was engulfed and then there were sharp agonizing cries that could break one’s eardrums.
These bugs were carnivorous.
Their mouths were very sharp and would tear off a piece of meat when they bit onto their bodies. It might be fine if there were just one or two of them. But there were too many of these bugs around.
The bugs were densely packed, covering all over the students, making them appear like a big black ball.
The great teachers performed their ultimate techniques to shake off the bugs, but more of them would surround them.
“The plan is a success!”
The aboriginals looked at this scene excitedly.
“It’s a pity that a few of them didn’t follow us.”
“That’s right. He must be a strong invader to be able to see through our intentions. Therefore, I’d rather let these fools off but kill that human.”
“We can go and counterattack them instead!”
The aboriginals were referring to Sun Mo.
Their escape was just a battle tactic. The ridiculous thing was that these invaders had fallen for their trick easily.
They thought that they could win with numbers?
Such naivety!
“Hurry up and leave this place!”
A great teacher bellowed, wanting to dash out toward the only door. However, when he turned his head, he felt despair.
It was because there were also many black bugs darted out from there.
The weaker students died after struggling for ten or more seconds. Then, at a rate that could be seen by the naked eyes, only a pile of white bones were left behind. Gradually, even the white bones were gone.
“Go to those aboriginals and catch them.”
Wang Zhong bellowed.
Since those aboriginals dared to summon these bugs, they must know a way to get rid of them.
The survivors struggled to hang on and charge over. However, the aboriginals were no fools and had been prepared for this. They immediately dodged.
This holy ground was in fact a large-scale experimental lab. The area they were in had been used to deal with trash.
Incineration would produce waste gas that’d pollute the environment and thus affect those experimental plants’ growth and composition. Therefore, the experimental lab invented a method to deal with living creatures.
They created such bugs that would eat anything, including plastics, bones, meat, fiber, metal, and many others.
However, to avoid the bugs going out of control and becoming a biohazard, their stamina was very weak. This meant that once they left this place and traveled long distances, they’d die from fatigue within 500 meters.
Therefore, when there was no food, they’d enter hibernation.
An elder from the Greenhaze Tribe had discovered these bugs and invented repellent powder that could prevent them from getting bitten by these bugs.
The reason why Sun Mo had felt something amiss wasn’t only because these aboriginals looked too calm when they were fleeing. The scent on their bodies also made him feel uncomfortable.
He had had close contact with the green-skinned female and thus knew that this wasn’t how the aboriginals’ body scent was like.
No one would apply something on their bodies for no reason. There must be a scheme.
As the bugs engulfed them, the teachers and students’ struggles became increasingly weaker.
At this moment, they felt extremely regretful.
If only they had listened to Sun Mo’s advice earlier!
He was a rising star who had created an unprecedented record of becoming a three-time champion within a year. If someone like him wasn’t giving chase, wouldn’t that mean that there was a great danger?
“I feel such great regret!”
Wang Zhong was in despair. He thought back on how he had proudly lashed out at Sun Mo earlier. He had thought that he was very cool at that point. But now, he felt like he was just an idiot.
(If I was given another chance, I’d definitely be friendly toward Sun Mo.)
Five minutes later, the bug swarm was done. They then gathered around the aboriginals. If the aboriginals didn’t have repellent powder applied on their bodies, they’d be eaten up as well.
“Come, let’s go hunt down that group of humans.”
The aboriginals had their eyes on Sun Mo.
…
Sun Mo let Liu Mubai look at the map but didn’t agree to Jin Mujie’s proposal of picking up some loots. Instead, he planned to search other places.
After having stayed here for close to half a day, Sun Mo noticed through traces that this place was a large-scale experimental lab.
“This map is so detailed!”
Jin Mujie was first surprised and then had expectations. “I wonder where facilities like the treasury are located?”
“Be careful. Enemies coming!”
Sun Mo heard the Holy Pharaoh’s warning.
“Aboriginals or Dark Dawn?”
Liu Mubai was raring to go.
“It’s the aboriginals. Let’s go. Don’t meet them head-on.”
Because of Lian Fangcao, Sun Mo didn’t wish to fight it out with the aboriginals. Therefore, he accelerated and started running. However, the aboriginals didn’t wish to let them off and chased after them relentlessly.
Ten minutes later, Sun Mo’s group of five was blocked by the aboriginals in a passageway.
“Kill!”
The aboriginals let out explosive bellows and threw out javelins.
The javelin tips had strong poison on them, and they’d kill upon contact.
“They are the aboriginals who escaped just now!”
Liu Mubai noticed that not a single one of the aboriginals were missing, shocking him. Since they were counterattacking, wouldn’t that mean that things bode ill for Wang Zhong and the others?
“This way!”
Sun Mo kicked open a door on the right and charged in. He then held his bow, wanting to attack from the door. At the same time, he remained wary on both sides of the door as there were ambushes.
“Shush!”
The other party did a hand gesture, indicating for Sun Mo’s group to go further away.
The aboriginals caught up. When they saw that the group of five didn’t block the door, they felt at ease and gave up on being wary of the surroundings. However, the moment they entered, they were attacked.
Crossbow arrows were launched out incessantly, followed by fierce slashing by sharp blades.
The aboriginals were caught off guard and over half of them fell. The remaining ones didn’t manage to do much before they were slashed and fell too.
“They are the Saint Gate’s battle troops!”
When Liu Mubai saw that Sun Mo was being wary of these people, he quickly reminded him.
“You guys are rendered in a difficult position just from being chased down by over ten aboriginals! This is really bringing shame to the great teacher title!”
The leader was a bearded guy. He threw a glance at Sun Mo’s group and then lashed out fiercely.
“Boss, these people are from the Central Province Academy.”
A soldier reminded softly.
“The Central Province Academy?”
The leader’s eyes widened. His gaze looked toward Sun Mo, then turned to Liu Mubai for a while before returning to Sun Mo.
“You’re Great Teacher Sun, Sun Mo?”
The leader asked. This time around, his attitude had gotten a lot better.
Liu Mubai was almost driven to death from fury. (Why do you think that I’m not Sun Mo? Is my disposition so repulsive?)
“I am Sun Mo!”
Sun Mo cupped his fists together. “May I ask for your great name?”
“My insignificant name isn’t worth mentioning!”
The leader smiled. “I’m sorry, I was mistaken. Although you were escaping, you are still composed. Therefore, your act must be intentional. If I’m not mistaken, you should have noticed that we’re hiding here, right?”
“En!”
Sun Mo nodded. Retaliation Storm had been activated and this attracted his attention.
As the door was locked, the leader had no idea who the people were outside. Therefore, his hostility grew, resulting in the Retaliation Storm being activated.
When Sun Mo dashed in with Great Invincibility activated, he was gambling on this.
As long as the other party wasn’t aboriginals, they’d definitely be attacked by the aboriginals regardless of what kind of people they were. When that happened, it’d take off some pressure from Sun Mo’s group.
“How are you planning to repay us after we have helped you kill these aboriginals?”
The leader looked toward Liu Mubai. “The thing in your hand couldn’t be the map of this ruin, could it?”
“It isn’t!”
Liu Mubai shook his head. Something this good mustn’t be told to others.
“Do you dare swear?” The leader questioned.
Liu Mubai was angry. “Is it any of your business?”
“Is it really a map? Where did you guys get it?”
The leader was curious.
Even though Liu Mubai didn’t reply to his question, smart people would be able to infer the answer they wanted from his reaction. Otherwise, Liu Mubai wouldn’t appear to be in exasperation.
“From the aboriginals!”
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.
Wang Han, an expert at the ninth level of the Longevity Realm. These words immediately appeared in front of Sun Mo’s eyes.
Wang Han’s eyes lit up. “Can you lend it to me to take a look?”
With a map, exploring the place would become a lot easier.
“In exchange, shouldn’t you tell me a few valuable locations?”
Sun Mo tilted his head. “Give him the map.”
“What gives him the rights?”
Liu Mubai wasn’t willing to do that.
“Give it to him. What if he forcibly snatches it?”
Jin Mujie sighed.
“Magnanimous!”
Wang Han put up a thumbs-up. “Since Teacher Sun is like this, then I mustn’t be stingy either.”
Therefore, after Wang Han opened up the map and took a serious look at it, he pointed to a few spots and said, “I feel that these three places are very important.”
Sun Mo wanted to ask about the environment of those three positions when Retaliation Storm was activated once again.
