Chapter 379: Chapter 280: I Will Strike (4K)_2
However, he did not have an opportunity to meet Tianyuan at the time.
He had some guesses about Tianyuan’s strength. What Tianyuan had shown so far probably wasn’t his full potential.
Even if Tianyuan was extraordinary and had surpassed the realms of talented newcomers and rising stars, Tianyuan was still just a junior in his eyes.
He was the strongest in the Expeditionary Team and had to carry everything on his shoulders.
If an unexpected crisis occurred, he might have to take care of Tianyuan.
However, such thoughts flashed through the Lord of Amber City’s mind only for a moment. What he was mostly considering was the campaign against the Snake Man Tribe.
He had an unsettling premonition.
Everything was going too smoothly.
Could they really eradicate the Snake Man Tribe just like that?
“The Lord of Amber City is overthinking,” a lord chuckled in the communication channel. “We shouldn’t overestimate the Snake Men. After all, they’re just a Monster Tribe. From my view, the lack of resistance we’ve met is because we’ve wiped out the main force of the Snake Men… a Monster Tribe can’t have endless power.”
“Besides, we caught the Snake Men off guard. It’s only natural it’s going smoothly.”
“It’s more surprising that such a large army was assembled to fight a mere Snake Man Tribe.”
Most of the lords and high-ranking players held the same view.
The Lord of Amber City nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, there’s no need for baseless worries.”
Logically, their victory over the Snake Man Tribe made sense. They shouldn’t cower because of some groundless intuition.
Besides, they were already deep into the borderland, having exterminated more than half of the Snake Man Tribe. It wouldn’t make sense to back out midway now.
This was deep into the borderland, mirroring the environment of Lanxing.
However, as they ventured further in, the environment became more bizarre.
There were crystal-like structures embedded onto towering mountains at an angle.
Space rifts resembled streams, moving up and down. Looking into them gave you a dizzying feeling as if the world was being flipped over. A few magic treasures were salvaged from this Space Stream by the Expeditionary Team. The Lord of Amber City was temporarily keeping them and would distribute them after the war had ended.
Mountains hung upside down, with the ground turning upwards.
It felt as if they were walking on flat ground, but looking back, they could see the earth standing vertically, like a majestic and eerie wall piercing into the heavens.
“Did we pass through a space transformation spot unknowingly?”
Mu Yuan looked at Duo Lai, who seemed clueless.
He gave up hoping for General Duo Lai to have any insight about space.
He continued to track the Snake Man’s trace.
This time, without him exerting much effort to investigate, the tracks left by the Snake Men led to the tribe’s core area visible from afar.
The Snake Man Sacrifice Ground!
Although they were still at a distance, the players could see the towering statue in the distance.
It seemed to be a statue of a Snake Man.
The statue stood over a hundred meters tall, its vertical scarlet pupils and snake-like hair danced in the wind. She sat on a lotus podium with dozens of golden arms extending behind her. One of her arms was raised high, its palm facing the sky, as if she was holding up the vault of heaven.
The ‘Snake God’!
As everyone’s gaze fell on the statue, the statue returned information.
It was not the typical identification information bestowed by a Lord’s authority. It was more like the inherent information of the sculpture itself.
Whoever saw it would know.
“It’s a bit eerie!”
A lord swallowed hard.
“But it’s an inanimate object, there aren’t any signs of a Fallen God’s servant descending.”
“That’s right, besides, our Punishment Army isn’t afraid of a Fallen God’s servant descending either. If they dare show up, we’ll blow them to pieces in a minute!”
“Charge ahead, it’s the final battle! After we take out these Snake Men, we can split the spoils right?”
“Exactly! Let’s get this over with so we can divide the treasures.”
Many couldn’t hold their excitement any longer.
This was, after all, a temporary army, they didn’t bear any heavy responsibilities. Seeing that everyone was eager to fight, the Lord of Amber City had no choice but to give the direct command.
Fight!
Most of the lords in the field were seasoned warriors. They talked lightly, but they took the combat seriously. They first used all sorts of long-range abilities for probing, bombarding the ground and sweeping the surroundings.
Once they were sure there were no ambushes, all the military units quickly advanced, aiming directly for the giant statue.
The statue was mildly eerie, of course, it had to be destroyed first.
The Lord of Amber City thought so as well.
He resonated with his military spirit and struck a hundred-meter-long silver-white sword radiance, which hit the statue.
Craaack——
Several arms of the statue shattered and fell from the high altitude, stirring up dust in the air.
Multiple battalions led by a few lords resonated their Army Soul Embryos, conjuring up large-scale skills and slashed at the statue repeatedly.
One strike! Two strikes! Thirteen strikes!
The statue was very tough, it had actually withstood thirteen large-scale skills from a hundred-men scale, but no matter how tough it was, it ultimately shattered.
Now, the only potential trigger for an accident had been eradicated by them.
Stable!
But unexpectedly, an accident still happened.
As the Snake God statue collapsed, the night sky was suddenly enveloped in a blood light, and ominous wailing filled the air. Many people’s vision was blurred by a layer of blood.
The shattered and collapsed Snake God statue reappeared.
The hundred-meter-tall monumental body unfolded on the vast land.
No, she was no longer a statue, but a living creature!
Upon closer inspection, one could notice that the huge creature, which was over a hundred meters tall, was made up of countless pythons intertwined together.
