After 'persuading' the leader of the Phantom Saber Mantis, who boasted great influence in the Nether Spring Kingdom, Jin Xinyue showed up in the medical camp as a 'saintess', raising the cheers of countless people. She was busy until the next evening when she finally had time to meet with Li Yao.
"The situation in the Nether Spring Kingdom is too miserable!"
Li Yao had just finished the thorough cleaning of Gloomy Bone City. All the uncontrollable mutants and the soldiers of the Nether World Watch lurking in the darkness had been found, suppressed, or executed.
However, the completely destroyed city made him frown hard and gnash his teeth, too.
He had encountered too many opponents before, including Yan Xibei, Xiao Xuance, Bai Xinghe, and Jin Tuyi. Some of them were unscrupulous. They were certainly not honorable, but at the very least, they were straightforward. A win was a win, and a loss was a loss. They would not hesitate to finish the battle.
But Elder Nether Spring was entirely different from those heroes.
The destruction of the Eye of Blood Demon meant the complete failure of the Spore Stratagem.
In front of the fully-armed regular army, however powerful the virus was, it would only be able to drag a few more people to die with it.
There was no reason that Elder Nether Spring did not understand the logic. But he simply raised tides of plagues with the Nether Spring Kingdom as the center!
This time, his target was no longer the elite army but the ordinary people. Therefore, he did not need to carefully select 'spores'. He only needed a few of his trusted subordinates to sneak into a town with portable virus storage tanks and release the virus in the form of a mist in the densest part of the population. It was very likely that it would cause large-scale chaos.
Naturally, under the suppression of a large army, such chaos would die out as quickly as it appeared. It was impossible for the situation to be fundamentally reversed.
However, for the ordinary people … Once the plague broke out, it would certainly be a catastrophe.
It was especially so for the Nether Spring Kingdom, Elder Nether Spring's nest. Dozens of towns were engulfed by the plague overnight.
The epidemic spread out nonstop like a wildfire. Half of the Nether Spring Kingdom was transformed into a wasteland!
While Li Yao was burning with fury, he was also worried. He was rather worried, too. Elder Nether Spring's madness had crossed the line. If he was given more time, there was no telling what he would do next.
At this moment, they received a secret report from the frontline.
"Elder Nether Spring's nest has been located!"
…
One day later, they were thousands of kilometers into the territory of the Nether Spring Kingdom.
In the middle of the dark clouds, more than ten light devilish warships that looked like sharks were gliding in silence.
In the battleship. The passengers were all the super experts of the Coalition Army of Demons, including nine demon emperors, who formed an assault team that was as fast as lightning.
They were going to carry out the most critical mission, which was to attack Elder Nether Spring's nest and, if possible, capture Elder Nether Spring alive!
Inside a devilish warship whose head was painted with the emblem of Skyfire, Li Yao, Han Tuhu, Suo Chaolong, and the other elites of Skyfire gathered and analyzed the operation plan.
"Our destination is' Bottomless City 'deep inside the Nether Spring Kingdom. Between Bottomless City and the area under our control is an epidemic area more than a thousand kilometers deep. If we want to force our way in by land, we'll have to pass through dozens of heavily infected towns, which is extremely slow. "
"Therefore. That's why the nine demon emperors will lead hundreds of experts to form the most elite assault squad for the decapitation operation!
"However, the insect race likes to live below the ground. 'Bottomless City' is a city built almost a hundred meters below the ground. It is built on dozens of natural caves that are connected to each other. The terrain is extremely complicated.
"As for Elder Nether Spring's secret nest … It is in the deepest part of Bottomless City and is more than two hundred meters away from the ground.
"Our purpose this time is to capture Elder Nether Spring. At the very least, we must control the main biochemical brain in Elder Nether Spring's secret nest. Only then will we be able to parse more files about Elder Nether Spring, including whether or not he has any trump cards or other nests.
"Therefore, speed is of paramount importance. We must get the situation under control before the Nether World Watch destroys the main biochemical brain!
"In a moment, the nine demon emperors will attack from the front of Bottomless City and distract the attention of the Nether World Watch. In the meantime, we will bombard Elder Nether Spring's nest from the rear of Bottomless City with penetrators!"
Very soon, the devilish warship gradually lowered its altitude.
In the valley ahead, the ruins of quite a few towns appeared one after another. Judging from the map, they were all large cities with a population of more than hundreds of thousands. They should have been ablaze with lights as if it were daytime. But right now, there was nothing but darkness. The only thing that could be seen was the sparks that were flickering in the cold wind and rain.
At the end of the valley was another magnificent city that looked like a giant ant's nest. The hills dozens of kilometers in diameter were riddled with holes. Feeble brilliance was beaming out of the holes, indicating that there was more to the city than met the eye.
It was Bottomless City, where Elder Nether Spring's secret nest was located!
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Countless Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes, Colorful Locusts, and Bloodthirsty Ants were hovering above Bottomless City. Hundreds of soldiers of the Nether World Watch, who were wearing fine armor and riding biochemical beasts, were guarding the city, too.
No matter if it was the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes, the Multicolored Flying Locusts, or the Bloodthirsty Demonic Ants, they were all four or five times larger than ordinary demonic insects. Their colors were exceptionally brilliant, and when they gathered together, they were like a colorful insect tide. The Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes formed numerous enormous giants, and they let out terrifying, hideous laughter in the clouds.
Powerful demonic energy was flowing out of the soldiers of the Nether World Watch, too. They looked even more handsome and intimidating than the regular soldiers, too.
The uncontrollable mutants were just the defects created by the Demon God Virus. The real purpose of the Demon God Virus was to make the creatures evolve rapidly into the most perfect form!
The demonic insects and the soldiers of the Nether World Watch were all lucky enough to avoid the final form of 'cell runaway' after being modified by the Demon God Virus. They were the 'perfect third life form' that Elder Nether Spring mentioned!
They were more than ten times stronger than before! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
On the ground, demonic rays and acid cannons were shooting at the sky like a storm. The strengthened external skeleton of the devilish warship was uttering cracking noises.
The 'beheading squad' had been exposed!
Between the clouds, the giants made of the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes roared close and extended their gigantic hands toward the devilish warship. The soldiers of the Nether World Watch formed a dense battle formation, too, not giving the 'beheading squad' any chance to move forward!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Nine streaks of brilliance rushed out of the devilish warship and tore apart the giant of the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes in the lead. Then, almost a hundred experts in the level of demon king were engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers of the Nether World Watch that had been strengthened by the virus.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds. Blood was flowing like a river!
"Let's go!"
The shark warship of Skyfire accelerated immediately. Like a shark that had smelled blood, it pierced through a giant made of the Ghost Face Silver Mosquitoes and dashed toward the rear of Bottomless City.
The bloody mouth at the head of the warship was opened abruptly. Four streaks of brilliance, one black and three red, rushed out!
They were Li Yao and three earth penetrators!
The three bombs were made of demon cores and crystals. Like three enormous rhombus-shaped crystals, they were swirling rapidly at a speed of more than five hundred revolutions per second, raising a coldly shining swirl that was freezing everything in the world!
The three bombs were all more than five meters long. They were in the shape of a triangle, with Li Yao at the center.
A dual-core processing system of a crystal processor and a biochemical brain had been installed at the core of the bombs. Through the ripples of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts, they were directly controlled by Li Yao. Therefore, they could still change directions in midair agilely, as if they were three clones of Li Yao!
Hoooo! Hoooo! Hoooo!
The soldiers of the Nether World Watch, strengthened by the Demon God Virus, were much stronger than before. They were extremely fast. Several soldiers of the Nether World Watch caught up with them and tried to stop them.
"Die!"
Li Yao roared. His telepathic thoughts surged out, and the three earth penetrators were revolving at a higher speed, forming three visible swirls of wind blades at the periphery.
The soldiers of the Nether World Watch involved in the swirls were minced into pieces before they had the chance to scream!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The three earth penetrators finally finished their acceleration. They broke through the defense lines together with Li Yao and pierced into the deepest part of Bottomless City!
They were not falling vertically but at an angle to the ground, ensuring that they could penetrate through the holes inside the cave and hit Elder Nether Spring's heart directly!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When they were only a hundred meters away from the ground, brilliance flashed in Li Yao's eyes. The three bombs seemed to have been manipulated by an invisible hand and turned from a triangle into a straight line before they drilled into the ground one after another!
The first bomb was the hardest and was responsible for drilling through the most solid crust. The second bomb was the fastest and had a jet propulsion system behind it, which was responsible for driving straight into the ground. The third bomb contained a lot of demon cores and crystals and had the highest damage. It would immediately raise a tide of destruction when it reached the destination!
The three bombs entered the cave one after another. The earth was shaking violently. From the countless holes on the mountain, scorching, gray fog was spurting out!
The place where the bombs entered was like the crater of a volcano that had just erupted. An orange channel appeared. The temperature inside the channel was probably more than a thousand degrees. Molten magma was dripping nonstop, too. The scene was quite appalling!
Li Yao smiled. Ignoring the scorching temperature, he dived straight into the underground!
But the underground was a mess. The impact of the third crystal bomb was still raging. Nothing could be seen except for the scorching steam.
Bo! Bo! Bo!
Li Yao activated the 'Super Bat Probe Unit' of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in the Blood Demon Form. High-frequency waves were released from the two sides of the helmet and scanned the entire underground space through the feedback of the supersonic waves!
"A lot of soldiers of the Nether World Watch are in a daze on the left side. There is a very large control room on the right side, in which at least sixteen main biochemical brains of the highest level are stored. This is the place!"
Seeing the concern and blessings from many friends in the book review section, Old Bull was greatly moved!
