Chapter 136 The Giant

The battle at Gubao Fortress was drawing to a close.

After Gu Shen suddenly comprehended the application of the Flow of Mind, this massacre, which should have been dominated by the Gray Winged beings, had turned into a hunt controlled by Gu Shen.

The Traveler race's high-level extraordinary beings possessed considerable intelligence.

But compared to someone as shrewd as Gu Shen...

The Gray Winged beings' combat intelligence was not enough!

When the Gray Winged being realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. It was covered in blood, its skin crisscrossed with wounds from the warblade. Most crucially, its retreat was blocked by the red shadows. This battle was supposed to be a one-sided "crushing," but the five red shadows were more agile than it could have imagined. Every attack was extremely cunning and strange, never taking any risk of "injury," and never giving it a chance to pounce!

"Roar!"

Realizing the situation, the Gray Winged being decided to change its strategy.

A furious light ignited in its bronze eyes.

It let out a high-pitched, drawn-out roar.

The one who spoke was naturally the giant.

In the rift in space, the Snow Mountain Giant's pupils darted around, observing the world at this moment through the crack.

A severely withered body was pinned beneath the stone wall.

The wind and snow in front of the red shadows suddenly intensified. A bulge rose from the ground where he stood. Frowning, he stepped forward and found a round cocoon about a meter in diameter. The cocoon shell was wrapped in layers of snow-white silk, like frost, but before the Deep Sea could snap its fingers, the cocoon shell suddenly "came alive"! The inside churned, and the silk threads burst outward!

But this was not the end; it was just a prelude. The red shadows lowered his head with a complicated expression. The entire dark land where he stood began to rise and fall, churning like a tidal wave.

But now, the hope in his heart had been completely shattered... The Snow Mountain Giant had appeared at the door, and it was clear that it had won that battle.

With a snap.

They scattered on their own, giving the several Gu Shens a wide and empty space to stand.

"I want to have a good chat with you."

Dense, countless egg sheath cocoons protruded from the snow, like coffins!

The Deep Sea, whose main body was pinned down, struggled to raise a withered finger and snapped it.

The battered Gray Winged being breathed its last.

Moreover... the combat power that the Deep Sea could unleash when it controlled the White Lizard's body was not enough to win a head-on battle against Rustbone.

"Red Shadow..."

Endless, countless.

A faint laughter echoed from behind that giant door.

A huge gap had been cut into the Umbrella Defense Line... Any perfect object, once it had a flaw, would spread and eventually collapse completely. The Umbrella Defense Line at this moment was like a setting sun, most of it submerged below the horizon, with only the remaining half continuing to "sink." The floating platforms trembled in the biting wind, releasing their brilliance with their last strength.

The Traveler tore through the Umbrella Defense Line's protective shield. Countless high-level suicide squads, like a tide, submerged the Gray Winged being. They tried to bite Gu Shen, who was riding on the Gray Winged being's back... But apart from him, there were still seven "hunters" eyeing the situation covetously. The red shadows sitting on the ground of the Initial held up seven fingers and made a fist.

The Northern Continent fleet, hovering in front of the gate of Gubao Fortress, silently watched the end of this hunt... Countless Travelers swarmed over like locusts, engulfing the Gray Winged being and Qu Ning. No matter the roars or wails, they were drowned out by the earth-shattering sounds of the swarm. It was a pity that they could not see the scene of the Gray Winged being being killed with their own eyes, but the outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Gu Xiaoman also clutched Qu Ning's sleeve, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Since it's not your true body, why not come in for a chat?"

And this time, her expression was no longer calm.

"Shira!"

Red Shadow narrowed his eyes. Those injuries on the White Lizard's body must have been left by Rustbone... Rustbone should have defeated the White Lizard controlled by the Deep Sea, but until now, the Seven Continents had not found any extraordinary aura of "Rustbone." A dignified Origin had seemingly evaporated overnight, disappearing without a trace.

The White Lizard had its mind seized by the Deep Sea in Snow Mountain, and it had completely fallen in the Old World War.

Deep in the void, a giant door, larger than a hundred doors combined, was slowly opening. Space collapsed, and the wind and snow tore apart, revealing a narrow, sinister eye.

After the Lionheart Code battle.

Even if Silver Fox was no match for the Snow Mountain Giant, he wouldn't have been killed so quickly... Even if a battle between Origins determined the victor, it would be difficult to determine a clear-cut win. This level of strongmen's duel was not too different from a "god war."

The overwhelming number of high-level Travelers suddenly stopped attacking Gu Shen, who was controlled by the red shadows.

He smiled, "I guessed you would ask about him... but you seem to have forgotten that there is still a general in the Northern Continent."

Zi Yu had recovered her spirits and stood up. Her cloak once again transformed into flames.

However, Red Shadow remained silent for several seconds.

The Gray Winged being staggered in the air, like a broken-winged butterfly, nearly falling.

Silver Fox had now been confirmed to have been defeated, his life or death unknown.

That's right.

The wailing sound disappeared.

The Gray Winged being flew erratically, eventually crashing into the edge of that incomplete Umbrella.

Gu Shen, who had been clinging to the Gray Winged being's neck, still gripped the warblade tightly at this moment. The warblade had pierced through the Gray Winged being's chest, and the blade energy released by the warblade had shattered its heart... But that was not the main reason for its death. From the Umbrella Defense Line to Gubao Fortress, the "road" that took only a few seconds to travel on the way back had taken the Gray Winged being a hundred times the time and a thousand times the effort.

The red shadows sitting cross-legged on the ground opened their eyes, their expression uncertain. A hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

"Prepare for battle!"

A sharp, screeching sound lunged toward Red Shadow.

"You actually dare to come."

"What's there not to dare?"

Red Shadow stood with his blade planted.

The Traveler race's hierarchy was extremely strict and complex.

It flapped its huge bone wings, rising slightly, preparing to leave the battlefield. But as it flapped its wings to fly, a red shadow simultaneously ran along the giant wall, and finally, borrowing its strength, jumped high and landed heavily on its back. With a riding posture, it slammed it down a large distance, nearly falling to the ground.

"Huang Tie City Fortress, No. 1 Source Energy Boat is in position!"

Either the Seven Continents Alliance had already been defeated, and Deep Sea had completely controlled humanity, or the Upper City had been breached, and Red Shadow could execute the Deep Sea host at any time.

Based on his understanding of Origin combat power.

The Deep Sea, on whom countless people had placed their hopes, had not yet led humanity to find an oasis and was already standing on the opposite side of humanity.

Next, the Northern Continent source energy boats would strategically retreat, while clearing the ten-mile radius outward from Gubao Fortress to ensure that the armed firepower of the source energy boats had space for cross-radiation.

"Long time no see."

Bai Shou had always been cautious.

(There will be another chapter tonight)

After the Source Energy Storm struck Gubao.

It would definitely not be an ordinary assault.

With just one glance, Red Shadow knew what existed behind that door...

And the remaining one slowly walked towards the Umbrella Defense Line.

Its body, as sturdy as steel, was covered with countless gaps.

The Northern Continent had made preparations to fight a protracted war of attrition.

He stood silently in the wind and snow, looking up at the giant, towering like the heavens.

They raised their heads expressionlessly, looking at the gate outside the Umbrella Defense Line.

It was the Snow Mountain Giant carrying the Traveler's true body!

That voice was extremely grand, shattering the void all the way to the Initial.

With his long blade slung across his back, Gu Shen finally arrived in front of this giant gate, looked at that cold, large pupil, and stepped in with his blade drawn.

He really wanted to see Deep Sea again. It was just that after the outbreak of war, this kind of opportunity no longer existed.

Two sharp barbs broke through the cocoon shell, and then scarlet eyes illuminated the wind and snow. In just a dozen seconds, a high-level Traveler hatched from the small cocoon!

The first thing that the high-level Traveler did after awakening was to erase the alien race—

"Silver Fox... Where is he?"

If Red Shadow and Deep Sea met again, the war would probably be over.

The lower-ranked obeyed the higher-ranked.

This was the first time in eight hundred years that humans had faced an invasion from the species of the Old World.

A low, rumbling thunderous sound echoed in the void.

The wailing sound spread throughout Gubao!

A dense, rattling sound echoed at the end of Gubao. The high-level beings gathered outside the Umbrella Defense Line received the signal to "attack." The eighth impact began at this moment. This was the Gray Winged being's protection of itself. It rolled, trying to shake off the two Gu Shens. Finally, after rolling dozens of times, it crashed heavily against the giant wall. Gu Shen, who was clinging to its bone wings, let go of the hand that was tightly gripping the warblade and landed on the ground, completing this "attack" safely and unharmed. The other Gu Shen was still clinging to the Gray Winged being's neck, constantly rotating the warblade in its palm, releasing blade energy to crush its flesh, which was as hard as steel.

Rustbone!

The Traveler race's attack on the Northern Continent...

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands?

Gu Shen flipped his wrist and swung his blade!

The roar turned into a wail, and the Gray Winged being's blood poured down along with the rain.

Just seconds ago, Qu Ning had just beheaded a Gray Winged leader. The angry emotions etched in their bloodline genes urged them to rush towards Gu Shen, wanting to drag Gu Shen down with them. But now, as the order spread, they no longer had that thought. It was as if Gu Shen in front of them was just empty.

Qu Ning looked expressionlessly at the back of the Snow Mountain Giant, where there was a stone wall.

What Silver Fox had to face was not just an evenly matched opponent, but an entire race!

Deep Sea, pinned to the stone wall, struggled to sit up straight. A smile appeared on his pale face, but his voice became incomparably majestic and solemn: "Regarding the future of the Seven Continents... Regarding the future of humanity..."

This kind of thing, even a god-level existence would find difficult to do!

He shook his head and said sternly, "It's all right, I'll be careful."

The sinking sun was completed in the dark radiance.

Da Xiu Zi solemnly reminded, "Although you are controlling Qu Ning, Deep Sea's invitation is definitely not a good thing..."

But ironically.

But...

Every wound here was carved by the blade energy Gu Shen had unleashed!

The seven Gu Shens who had been closely following the Gray Winged being were now standing in the tide of countless "locusts."

Strands of blade energy slashed out from a distance.

The Gray Winged being roared angrily again, rolling 360 degrees continuously in the air at an extremely high speed!

From thousands of meters away, the Gu Shens began to run one after another. They stared intently at the Gray Winged being, stepping on the broken walls of Gubao and charging into the tide of high-level Travelers.

Rustbone, White Lizard, Silver Fox.

In an instant, the transmission voices within the Northern Continent's closed mental network rang out simultaneously!

These high-level beings, whose lifespans were as short as autumn cicadas, only needed to be responsible for dying and didn't need to consider anything else. Therefore, when the orders of the high-ranking ones were issued, even if Gu Shen swung his blade to kill them, they would not make any counterattacks.

Because behind you is the full support of the entire Northern Continent!

Red Shadow left behind only one Qu Ning, dispatching the remaining six Gu Shens to return to the gate of Gubao Fortress to assist the Northern Continent fleet in blocking the Traveler race's attack.

Qu Ning did not respond to the voice from within the gate.

In addition, expanding the scope of the battlefield would allow seventh-order powerhouses to personally take to the field to kill enemies, without having to consider the negative effects brought by the fragments of the Heavenly Sheath.

From the initial combat scene, Silver Fox's strength and the Snow Mountain Giant should have been evenly matched!

"Dragon Bone Fortress, No. 1 Source Energy Boat is in position!"

There was still one person.

After leaving that fragmented continent, he had never had a chance to return, because of a lack of sufficient Origin combat power, the Seven Continents Alliance was unable to go and rescue General Silver Fox.

But Red Shadow was not affected at all. Instead, he thrust the long blade into its spine. This blade pierced very deep, directly piercing through the Gray Winged being. The tip of the blade emerged from the Gray Winged being's chest. The first Qu Ning clung to the long blade, lying prone to lock down the Gray Winged being's back, ensuring that he would not be thrown off. Then, the seventh Gu Shen followed suit, leaping up against the giant wall, holding the blade in both hands and stabbing it into the Gray Winged being's bone wings, clinging on tightly.

The Sky Dog, Wild Dog, and Blood Hound stood beside Commander Zi Yu. At this moment, they handed over command to their most trusted adjutant. The command of this war ultimately converged on Lin Lin.

He was very worried that if Red Shadow accepted the invitation and stepped through this door, he would encounter something unpredictable.

The invitation from Deep Sea came from the other side of the gate.

How did General Rustbone disappear?

One very important reason why I am manipulating Gu Shen to meet with Deep Sea is to find out the whereabouts of Silver Fox.

It wasn't the Traveler's true body that the giant was carrying.

Amidst the overwhelming roar.

Traveler... At this moment, the name Deep Sea was more appropriate.

The northwest frontier, the northeast frontier, and the interior of the Central City would all dispatch powerful extraordinary reinforcements. The scale of this war would far exceed the Scarlet Hunt War eighty years ago...

"Dragon Bone Fortress, No. 7..."

Here... there were no traces left by Silver Fox, nor any corresponding aura.

Seeing this giant door, Da Xiu Zi's spirit suddenly tensed up.

This war was provoked by Deep Sea.

In Bai Shou's heart, he had always looked forward to Silver Fox's return.

"Rumble—"

Red Shadow's heart sank slightly.

This was the first thing Deep Sea said after Gu Shen stepped through the door.

Qu Ning, manipulating Qu Ning, looked around... The last time he saw this Snow Mountain Giant was in the drifting continent deep within the Old World, but the environment in front of him had changed. The surroundings were full of haze and no light. Obviously, Deep Sea had transferred the Snow Mountain Giant's position through the gate.

With strength reaching above the seventh order, extraordinary individuals capable of deploying domains had all come to the main boat.
