"How could this be!" Ku Lu hurriedly shouted, "Come up, come up. Where are the soldiers? Send someone to inform General Keller, quickly! "
Yumi hurriedly went.
A moment later, a hundred Bucks Army soldiers jumped into the lake and sprinkled a stimulating light yellow powder at the snakes in the lake. No matter what kind of snake it was, it would be extremely uncomfortable to inhale this powder. Soon, the snakes swam out of the lake and disappeared into the jungle. Although the snakes had left, most of the workers in the lake were injured. Not all the snakes at the bottom of the lake were venomous, but biting in important places was really bad.
The work in the lake was naturally delayed. Most of the workers were injured, and a few of them were bitten by poisonous snakes. They were careless for a moment, and when they discovered that the snake venom had already attacked their hearts, they died in vain. This sudden accident caused Ku Lu to lose his morning excitement. He could only sigh and wait for tomorrow to continue his homework.
However, in the middle of the night, there was a rustling sound in the camp. Then, someone shouted, "The snake is here again," waking Ku Lu up from his sleep. When the old man put on his clothes and left the tent, he was stopped by two soldiers. Ku Lu used the fire to see the snakes swarming in the camp. The scene made his scalp go numb. A few unlucky fellows were crawling all over their bodies like human cocoons, making them look even more terrifying. By the time the snakes on their bodies swam away, these people had already turned into corpses.
In the next few days, the raging of the snakes became more and more serious. They were almost everywhere, in the mud at the bottom of the lake, in the trunk of the old tree, in the bushes, under the shade of the tree … The snakes were like a group of devils, staring at the camp. The soldiers of the Bucks Army now had to sprinkle medicine to drive the snakes away every day, but as time passed, the snakes showed no signs of decreasing, and the snake medicine was almost used up.
In the end, General Bloodbeard personally went into battle and released his murderous aura in the camp, causing the snakes to not dare to approach again. In the next two days, there were no traces of snakes, so the workers were relieved to start work.
This afternoon, the air was sultry and unbearable. Ku Lu sat under the wooden shed on the lake shore, personally guarding the work site. Seeing that the accumulated stones at the entrance were gradually cleared out, the stuffy feeling caused by the snakes for days dissipated slightly. The sound of footsteps rang out, followed by a figure sitting heavily beside Ku Lu. A wave of sweat immediately filled the air. Bloodmane General Keller wiped his sweat and slightly opened the gap in front of his chest armor with a bitter smile, "How long do I have to stay in this damn place?"
This middle-aged general, who was somewhat famous in the Bucks Army, had a resolute face. Two thick eyebrows that were brimming with murderous intent were slanted upward, and his broad chin was tightly wrapped in a pale red beard. This beard was the origin of his nickname. Keller had accumulated a lot of battle merits in the Bucks Army, but he was still the commander of a few thousand troops. He couldn't even become a general who commanded a division. The grievance in his heart was no less than Ku Lu's.
In terms of military merits and strength, Keller was fully qualified to become a general of the border. It was just that this person was too dull. He was strong, but because of his straightforward personality, he had offended many high-ranking officials. As a result, he had always been suppressed by the military. This time, he was sent here to take on the responsibility of protecting the Savage Highlands' ruins excavation work. Not long ago, he had even released killing intent to disperse the snakes, which made Keller feel that it was a waste of talent.
Ku Lu handed a clean cup to the general who was in the same boat. The cup was half filled with malt wine. The old man revealed a row of yellow teeth and said, "Don't think about it. I have some wine here. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a few sips."
Keller laughed and took it. He drank all the malt wine in the cup and sighed, "Actually, this place is not bad. There's no need to look at those people's faces. It's just that this damn place is not for people to stay at all. It's a good thing to be able to go back earlier. "
"What about after we get back? Continue to be pushed aside in the army?" Ku Lu snorted and said, "General Keller, I'm not afraid to tell you. If this ruin proves to be of research value and receives the attention of the royal family, then this place will become the second Blood King's Cemetery. If you're willing to stay and help me, then I dare say that it's better for you to stay in the Wilderness Highlands than to go back and look at people's faces. "
"Mr. Kuru, you don't understand." Keller sighed and said, "People like us are bored if we don't fight for a day. If it was a ruin like the Blood King's Cemetery, it would be good. At least there would be some ancient creatures to pass the time. I'm afraid there's nothing inside. You're busy for nothing, and I'm so idle that I'm sick … Eh? "
Keller suddenly stood up, his expression suddenly solemn. He shouted to Kuru, "Go stop them. Something's coming. Damn it, it must be a big guy. You have to hide too, Mr. Kuru. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you later. "Then he ran straight out of the wooden shed and shouted with full Origin Energy," Bucks Army, listen up. There's an enemy coming. Prepare for battle, prepare for battle! "
The entire lake began to boil.
The workers evacuated the army at the bottom of the lake, and the Bucks Army entered the camp. According to Keller's instructions, they set up a thick battle formation, as if they were facing a great enemy. When the battle formation was set up, ordinary people like Kuru felt a terrifying pressure coming towards the camp. The clever Yumi suddenly noticed that the water in the cup beside him was constantly rippling, and then everyone felt dizzy.
That's because the ground was shaking.
The intense tremors were like wild elephants running in groups in the Northern Lands. Only then could they form such a strong tremor at this moment. Ku Lu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wooden stick in his hand. He had long heard that there were a few dangerous ferocious beasts in the Wilderness Highlands. The one heading straight for the camp now could be one of them.
Keller narrowed his eyes, and the dangerous aura in the humid air grew stronger. Suddenly, he saw a series of noises coming from the forest opposite the battle formation. Then, a huge tree fell, shaking up dust. Keller took a deep breath and shouted, "Musket shooters, get ready. Something's coming. Thick shield soldiers, pay attention to protecting the archer. Spear soldiers, prepare to fight at any time. "
Under the general's orders, the army entered a state of readiness for battle. At this moment, a mountain-like figure suddenly appeared in the dense forest. Just the shadow cast by this giant beast covered half of the battle formation. This was an exotic beast that looked like a tortoise, if a tortoise was the size of a hill. This exotic beast had four golden eyeballs on its head. It had a thick and bulging outer shell, six short and thick legs supporting its body, and a few tentacles that looked like fleshy whiskers were dancing on its back.
If Allen was here, he would recognize the giant beast in front of him. It was the one that had rested in the lake that day.
Now that the giant beast had broken through the forest, its four eyes on its head shot out with a fierce light. The tentacles on its back danced like a whip as they lashed towards the Bucks Army's battle formation.
The shield soldiers in the front row immediately raised their tower shields, but the power of the giant beast's tentacles was more than a thousand jin. The power that ordinary people could not resist struck the long wall formed by the shield, causing a few cracks to appear on the shield wall. One shield soldier after another was sent flying by the huge force. Miserable screams rang out everywhere, and the prelude to the battle began.
"Musketeers, focus fire!"
The two hundred shooters raised their guns. The giant beast was so large that there was no need to aim anywhere. They shot fiercely at the incoming big fellow. The sound of gunfire rang out incessantly, and sparks appeared on the giant beast's head, thick shell, and tentacles. However, apart from the small flowers of blood that the tentacles had shot out from the musket, whether it was the thick shell on its back or the dark purple scales on its head, they easily bounced the bullets of the musket away.
The giant beast roared, and the tentacles on its back suddenly rose like snakes. A cross-shaped crack appeared at the front. The crack opened, and it was actually a mouthpiece covered with fleshy teeth. One mouthpiece after another spat out a green pillar of water. The pillar of water pierced through the air, causing a strong sour smell to appear in the air. Keller's expression changed and he shouted desperately, "Disperse! Spread out in the front row. "
The battle formation split apart, but it was still three minutes too late. A few miserable green pillars of water splashed into the crowd, and many soldiers were drenched. Immediately, the armor corroded into green smoke, while the battle uniform and skin melted. The soldiers who were drenched only had time to let out a few short screams before falling to the ground and dying. Their corpses were still melting. It was obvious that the water pillar spat out by the giant beast contained a strong acid!
Keller regretted not bringing those cannons with him. Ordinary swords and firearms would not be able to harm a giant beast like the one in front of him. Only a battlefield killing weapon like artillery or an expert could cause damage to it.
At this moment, the giant beast was still a hundred meters away from the battle formation when it suddenly stopped. Six feet paused, his body slightly pressed down, and the Origin Energy aura on his body skyrocketed. A few lines actually lit up on the shell of the giant beast. It opened its mouth with a cry, and a ball of jade flames boiled and rolled in its mouth.
"Get out of the way!" Keller's expression changed as he suddenly raised his Origin Energy. Of course, his might soared into the sky. At this moment, the giant beast spat out a pillar of pure Origin Energy. There was no skill or ability, only a violent destructive power. The pillar of light slanted towards the ground, ploughing a charred ravine on the ground and pulling it towards the Bucks Army's battle formation. Keller had already leaped into the air, his hands clenched and smashed down. Instantly, two pale red fists the size of mountains descended from the sky.
One of them smashed onto the miserable green pillar of light, causing the pillar of light that continued to spit out to flicker unsteadily. After a violent distortion, the pillar of light exploded, and a series of jade-green fireballs blossomed in the air one after another. The shockwave of the explosion alone crushed the soldiers of the Bucks Army to the ground. The other fist smashed into the giant beast's head. The giant beast's head shrank and hid in its thick shell.
The giant fist smashed into the turtle shell, and a series of ear-piercing noises rang out in the sky above the lake. The giant beast smashed into the ground, and the cracks that were squeezed out quickly spread out in all directions with it as the center. Instantly, a large area of woodland collapsed. Countless old trees swayed and tilted, and the dust that shook up even covered the figure of the giant beast.
