His words seemed to have hit Han Tuhu's sore spot. Every strand of the muscular man who looked like a yaksha was bouncing crazily like fire. The veins on his temples were like tightened longbows. He roared and turned into a black tornado, lunging at Suo Chaolong.
BOOM!
The two muscular men who looked like titans crashed into each other brutally.
Although they did not have magical equipment or weapons, they were surprisingly tough. Their every attack was accompanied by a sonic boom and an overwhelming blizzard!
Since the two leaders were fighting each other, their subordinates were naturally unwilling to be left behind. They all rushed forward, rubbing their fists.
What confused Li Yao was that many captives of the Union Army were displaying the distinctive features of demons after inhuman roars.
Many demons, on the other hand, were surrounded by vague spiritual energy after their blood was boiling and their muscles were bulging!
This is … too messy!
Li Yao did not know how to describe the battle between the two teams of captives.
The captives were truly strong. If they were measured by the standard of Cultivators, even the weakest of them was in the high level of the Refinement Stage, and most of them were above the Building Foundation Stage. The leaders such as Han Tuhu and Suo Chaolong were even in the Core Formation Stage!
This is almost another Nether World Watch!
Li Yao pondered for a moment and basically figured out the background of the captives.
The 'Flying Tigers Legion' of the Union Army commanded by Han Tuhu and the 'Blood Lion Battalion' of the Union Army of Demons commanded by Suo Chaolong must have been the elites of the two parties.
In the last phase of the 'Battle of Dawn', the Union Army of Demons that had marched into the Tian Yuan Realm suffered a crushing defeat. The Blood Lion Battalion must have been responsible for covering the retreat, while the Flying Tigers Legion was chasing after them. Both parties suffered heavy losses in the Dark Desolate Domain.
But they did not know that the so-called 'Battle of Dawn' was actually Elder Nether Spring's scheme. He was merely collecting more 'test subjects' through the war.
The Blood Lion Battalion and the Flying Tigers Battalion, both heavily wounded, naturally became the best prey. Elder Nether Spring caught both of them. They were secretly transported here.
Here, they had all undergone incomparably cruel experiments. Most of them had died, and those who had survived the various modifications had all died. Those who were lucky enough to survive were naturally the best of the best, the strongest of the strong.
Coupled with all kinds of strengthening potions and strange secret techniques, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. That was how he had created such a powerful captive!
In a world of ice and snow. The captives were obviously unarmed, but they were as intimidating as the Crystal Suit against the biochemical beasts. Li Yao was secretly shocked and more and more curious.
"The captives are so strong that the triple defense of the frost thorns, the high-voltage electric net, and the demonized plants might not be enough to trap them, right? He must have other tricks up his sleeve! "
Odd. Why didn't the Nether World Watch stop the captives from fighting each other? There are guards of the Nether World Watch on the defense towers nearby.
"That's right, they must be trying to test the combat data of the captives in a natural environment."
"On the other hand. The captives belong to two incompatible factions. It will be easier for the Nether World Watch to manage the captives if they fight each other and even kill some of them. "
Dividing the captives into multiple factions that were hostile to each other and living together to check and balance each other was an old trick of the prison guards. It would significantly reduce the pressure on the guards.
The two parties fought in a chaotic battle for five minutes. The white snowfield was full of blood. The guards of the Nether World Watch on the defense towers finally blew their whistles lazily. Circles of electric arcs dashed out from the bottom of the hundred and eight bronze pillars and hovered around the spiritual stripes rapidly. When the electric arcs accelerated and rose to the top of the pillars, they hit the shackles on the necks, wrists, and ankles of the dozens of captives precisely! Zi!
"Zi Zi Zi Zi!"
Those shackles, on the other hand, boasted the ability to enhance the intensity of the electric arcs. The electric arcs were instantly expanded to hundreds of times. Like an overwhelming electric net, they enshrouded all the captives!
Under the electric strikes of the hundred and eight bronze pillars, the electric arcs were incessant and stronger and generated an uncanny attraction force that attracted all the captives.
The captives who were relatively weaker were already foaming at the mouth because of the electric arcs.
The leaders of the two captives, who were entangled with each other, had goosebumps all over their bodies, too.
Stimulated by the high-voltage electric arcs, they could not launch any effective attacks at all. Instead, they were waving their fists like scoundrels on the street.
Eventually, they both collapsed in the fists of the fists, cramping nonstop.
The ground in the northeast corner of the captive camp slightly sank and split apart, revealing a channel that led to the underground.
A large team of heavily armored soldiers of the Nether World Watch entered the camp to clean up the mess. The captives had all been electrocuted into shrimps, with no room for resistance at all.
Li Yao took the opportunity to maneuver Neltharion and fly into the underground.
He had basically figured out the mechanism of the ancient array. To trigger such intense electric arcs, a lot of crystals of lightning must have been stored somewhere underground as the core of the array.
Find the core and destroy it!
…
Half a day later, Neltharion returned the same way it had come. After a series of soul-stirring infiltrations, it returned to the torture chamber where the Fire Ant was locked up.
The Fire Ant's body had expanded like a soaked sea cucumber. The 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' had deeply pierced into his translucent skin.
But his spirit, on the other hand, was like a towel that had been completely dried. There was not the slightest sign of vitality.
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin was not here. Li Yao was more or less relieved.
Li Yao resumed the communication with the Fire Ant. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine now."
The Fire Ant King gestured helplessly. "It might not be the case in three days. Lu Wuxin's methods are ten times stronger than eight years ago. He can directly stimulate my brain cells and search my soul. I won't be able to survive three days before I reveal everything I know, including your existence!"
"Cut the crap and get to the point. What have you found?"
"I've found out the reason why Elder Nether Spring did not ask for your cooperation frankly in the beginning. It was because he was not sincere about creating a 'third life form' at all."
Li Yao said quickly. "What he was trying to create was a bunch of loyal slaves. Such dreadful modifications have a high mortality rate of more than 95%, both for human beings and demons."
Li Yao told the Fire Ant everything he had seen in the 'Demon God Virus Development Center'.
The Fire Ant listened quietly without saying anything.
But Li Yao sensed that his eyes, which were somewhat unfocused, were focused again.
"What's your plan?"
The Fire Ant's pen became firm.
"At the north of the lone island is a large camp for captives. Thousands of captives, including the warriors of the Blade of Chaos, are caged there. There are nine barriers on the ground and below the ground. However, I may be able to find a way to crack one of the central barriers!"
While thinking, Li Yao said, "To achieve our purpose, the captives are the key. Only by rescuing the captives and diverting the attention of the Nether World Watch will it be easier for me to rescue you. Then, we can find the mainframe crystal processor and the biochemical brain in this place and figure out Elder Nether Spring's whole plan!
"However, there are almost a thousand soldiers of the Union Army among the captives. They are all my compatriots. I have to rescue them, too. It's non-negotiable."
"Go on," the Fire Ant said.
"The key is the devilish warships," Li Yao said. "To escape from this place, we will certainly need to pilot a devilish warship, but neither I nor the Union Army know the first thing about it."
"That's not a problem."
The Fire Ant said, "Many of my subordinates know how to pilot a devilish warship. If they don't, I can manage it myself."
"That's good."
Li Yao nodded. "The other problem is that the thousand soldiers of the Union Army are too eye-catching in the Blood Demon Sector. They need to find a secret settlement and figure out a way to return to the Tian Yuan Realm."
"Void Turmoil City must be in chaos right now," the Fire Ant said. "It is impossible for us to return. However, the Blade of Chaos still has quite a few secret settlements. We can go to one of them first."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. "Should I trust you?"
"If you are telling the truth, you should," the Fire Ant said.
"Like you, I don't want my compatriots to end up as walking dead or slaves manipulated by other people.
"Besides, you don't have a choice except to trust me.
"Just like I don't have a second choice except to trust you, a human expert who popped up out of nowhere!
"If you are on Elder Nether Spring's side and your appearance is a good show that he has arranged so that we can break into the central settlement of the Blade of Chaos smoothly, I can only accept it!"
Li Yao smiled. It did make sense.
"Alright. I've figured out the structure of the captive camp and the underground research institute. Next, I need one day to prepare all kinds of magical equipment and weapons."
Li Yao revealed his plan. "One day later, I will ask the fully-armed Neltharion to sneak into the captive camp, destroy the pivot of the barriers, and set all the captives free.
"The riot of the captives will certainly attract the attention of the Nether World Watch. Then, I will crawl out of this place and rescue you first. Then, I will look for the core secrets inside the mainframe crystal processor or the biochemical brain. If it is a crystal processor, I will take care of it. If it is a biochemical brain, you will deal with it. Is there a problem?"
"No," the Fire Ant said.
"In the end, we will seize a devilish warship, sink the rest of the devilish warships, and leave with all the captives," Li Yao said.
"The most important thing is, how much of your strength can you recover?"
The Fire Ant sniffed and said, "If all the strengthening drugs inside my body are activated, I can temporarily regain the combat ability of the demon emperor level. However, it will not help if the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' on my body is not unlocked.
"The level of the demon emperor level is enough. As for the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle', it will depend on luck. Fire Ant, please calculate the time and activate all the strengthening drugs inside your body on time!"
