The ancient world was truly awe-inspiring. They even had underwater warships.
Why didn't they call them submarines?
Strictly speaking, these underwater warships were not submarines. Their appearance was vastly different from modern submarines on Earth. They were more like enclosed warships, and extremely huge.
Of course, they had their own combat system, but they did not rely on the ancient giant crossbows.
However, these ancient giant arrows could be fired very far in the air and fly very quickly. Underwater, the Nightmare Stone's plasma flames could still be used, but the range and speed were greatly reduced.
Most importantly, these ancient warships could not produce oxygen on a large scale, so they could not travel underwater for long periods of time.
Therefore, these warships were probably an experimental weapon in the ancient civilization. They were still very immature. After Stupa Mountain excavated this huge ancient relic, they did not know what to do with these warships.
This time, they finally came in handy.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
All sorts of ancient giant arrows exploded into the sky, and all sorts of signal flares were detonated.
The encirclement was simply too huge. It was difficult to rely on the snow eagle warriors to convey orders. Therefore, using signal flares was the most direct method.
Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang had paid a huge price in order to set up an inescapable net to capture Shen Lang.
First, he had to completely clear the area to ensure that no one was spying on him.
Then, he had to dig a huge underground cave overnight to hide his troops. After about 20 days, he finally completed this huge project.
"Get into formation, get into formation!"
"Advance, advance!"
Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain's army formed a dozen long formations and quickly closed in.
From the sky, the army formed a huge rectangle that spanned dozens of miles.
Why was it not circular?
They were worried about being attacked by the Great Yan Empire's Regret of the Dragon, because when it exploded, the area of effect was a huge circle.
"Continue forward, forward, forward!"
The encirclement of the army quickly shrank. At the same time, thousands of Stupa Mountain's soldiers quickly assembled the ancient giant crossbows.
They did not see their ancient energy cores. They were probably buried underground.
… …
The moment Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain's army appeared, Prince Jin shouted, "We've been tricked! Your Majesty, leave, leave!"
At the same time, he immediately led tens of thousands of people back to the ancient ruins of Diamond Peak.
But it was too late. His tens of thousands of people had already descended the mountain.
At the same time, hundreds of Special Warriors riding Snow Eagles from Stupa Mountain rushed to the entrance of the Vajra Peak ancient ruins as fast as they could.
There were only a dozen Special Warriors under Shen Lang's command. It was impossible for them to occupy the entrance of Mt. Konggang, and their escape route had been cut off.
Then, dozens of black dots flew over from the original spot and pounced directly at Shen Lang.
These dozens of black dots were very fast. They were probably special flying beasts that belonged to Stupa Mountain. Their bodies were smaller than snow eagles, but they flew very fast and very high.
This was an ancient vulture. Even though it was smaller than a snow eagle, it was incomparably ferocious and warlike.
Snow eagles usually flew at an altitude of about five thousand meters, but this kind of ancient vulture could fly at an altitude of eleven thousand meters. Its flying speed could exceed four hundred kilometers per hour, but its carrying capacity was not as good as snow eagles.
Squawk, squawk, squawk …
Amid ear-piercing screeches, these ancient vultures continued to accelerate, wanting to surround Shen Lang in the air. On the back of each vulture were the top experts of Stupa Mountain. All of them were grandmasters, and all of them were wearing the most advanced ancient equipment.
More than a thousand Stupa Mountain Snow Eagle Warriors followed behind these ancient vultures in a neat formation. They flew over as if they were covering the sky.
"Your Majesty, go, go …" Prince Jin shouted.
Tens of thousands of people knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, go …"
If they caused Shen Lang to be captured in order to save tens of thousands of them, then they would have to die a thousand times.
Shen Lang did not say anything. He directly rode on the ultrasonic flying beast, patted his neck, and said, "Take off, take off …"
Dachao had no feathers on his body, but he had bone spurs. At this moment, they stood up one by one, full of a strong desire to fight.
He used all his strength to keep taking off.
He was extremely fast.
At this time, Dachao's back had been modified. Not only was there a seat, but there was also a safety belt.
As Dachao continued to take off, the dozens of ancient vultures continued to accelerate frantically. They had to surround Dachao before he took off.
This was a competition of speed. The dozens of ancient vultures were really like fast fighter jets, trying their best to pounce on Dachao in the air.
But there was no doubt that Dachao was faster. In less than two minutes, he flew to a height of 13,000 meters.
This height had exceeded the limit of the ancient vultures of Stupa Mountain, so Shen Lang was temporarily safe.
After a few minutes, the dozens of ancient vultures of Stupa Mountain finally flew over, but their limit was about 11,000 meters. They formed a circle in the air below, surrounding Shen Lang.
Another few minutes passed.
More than a thousand Stupa Mountain Snow Eagle Warriors also arrived, forming an even larger encirclement at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
"Forward, forward, forward!"
The encirclement of more than 100,000 soldiers on the ground continued to shrink.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
As the signal flare exploded in the sky, the generals of Stupa Mountain's Hell Army gave their orders.
The army of more than 100,000 soldiers stopped advancing and formed a battle formation.
A total of 150,000 soldiers formed a huge encirclement that was 40 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide.
More than a hundred snow eagle warriors also completely occupied the entrance of the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak.
Prince Jin's tens of thousands of people were completely surrounded.
Immediately after, two ancient vultures flew over from the south. They were Stupa Mountain's Sect Master Ren and New Qian Kingdom's Ying Guang.
A few minutes later, the two of them sandwiched Shen Lang in the middle.
The entire sky formed a very stunning scene, a true three-dimensional battle formation.
Shen Lang rode Dachao at the highest altitude of 13,000 meters.
Sect Master Ren and Ying Guang rode two vultures at an altitude of 11,500 meters.
Dozens of Stupa Mountain Grandmaster experts, dressed in ancient equipment, rode dozens of ancient vultures, and hovered at an altitude of eleven thousand meters.
1,000 snow eagle warriors at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
Layer upon layer.
On the ground, Prince Jin's 50,000 people formed five battle formations that spanned a few kilometers.
More than 100,000 soldiers surrounded them and spanned dozens of kilometers.
It was impossible to form such a complicated battlefield in such a short time on ancient Earth. There wasn't such a powerful army and command.
… …
"Your Excellency Shen Lang, we meet again," Ying Guang said calmly.
Shen Lang shouted down from an altitude of 13,000 meters, "How have you been, Your Majesty Ying Guang, Sect Master Ren, I'm really flattered that the two of you came to capture me together."
Ying Guang said, "You don't have to be so loud, we can hear you."
They could hear me too? There was a difference of more than 1,000 meters between them. Ying Guang's internal energy was strong and his voice could travel very far, but Shen Lang couldn't. It would already be amazing if his voice could travel 100 meters.
However, Ying Guang and Sect Master Ren were so awesome that they could still hear Shen Lang's voice.
Shen Lang said, "You guys still can't catch me, right? This is your most advanced flying beast. It looks so fierce. Is this a vulture? It's already very powerful, but it can't compare to my Super Super. It can't fly high enough and fast enough. As long as I want to, I can fly to an altitude of 15,000 meters and then escape. Nothing can catch up to me. "
Ying Guang said, "That's right, that's true. But what about the tens of thousands of people on the ground and the dozen or so confidants you brought with you? Can they escape? Are you willing to abandon them and watch as they all die? "
Shen Lang fell silent.
Sect Master Ren said, "In order to capture you, we set up this huge trap. Shen Lang, if you don't care about the lives of your subordinates, you can escape, but will you? "
Of course not. Everything Shen Lang had done for the past few months was to save the tens of thousands of people in Prince Jin.
Now that he had already succeeded 80%, would all his previous efforts go to waste? Then Shen Lang's soul would probably be ruined.
Four years ago, when his identity was first exposed, he did not abandon the tens of thousands of people who were loyal to him. In the end, he completed a miracle of survival and successfully escaped.
What about today? Of course he would perform an even more astonishing miracle.
Ying Guang said, "Your Majesty Shen Lang, my condition is very simple. If you obediently surrender, I will let the tens of thousands of people in Prince Jin go back to Furious Tide City. From now on, Stupa Mountain and I will never attack Furious Tide City again."
Sect Master Ren said, "Not only that, we will not torture you or turn you into a zombie. We will only put you under house arrest because we need you to fire the Dragon's Regret."
Ying Guang said, "The Great Yan Empire has the ability to strike from a long distance. Both of us have fallen into an extremely passive position. We need to catch up, and this requires Sir Shen Lang's wisdom."
Sect Master Ren said, "We will prepare a luxurious underground palace for you, as well as more than a hundred beauties. You will live a luxurious life like a deity."
Shen Lang said, "So you are treating me like a pig?"
Ying Guang was silent for a moment, then said, "You can think of it that way, but you will at least be able to save your tens of thousands of people this way."
Sect Master Ren said, "Sir Shen Lang, aren't you supposed to be extremely intelligent? Not only did you steal two Dragon's Regret from us last time, but you also successfully escaped from our clutches. This time, even if we capture you, you can still think of a way to escape. You can definitely perform another miracle. "
Shen Lang sneered in disdain. How could this be possible? If he was captured this time, it was guaranteed that his legs would be crippled immediately. After that, Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain would think of ways to destroy his consciousness, turning him into a walking corpse that they could completely control.
Ying Guang said, "Sir Shen Lang, let's not waste any more time. We have to make a choice. Either you surrender, or we will slaughter your people."
Shen Lang said, "Prince Ying Guang, Sect Master Ren, there are 150,000 of your men on the ground, and 50,000 of mine. If a Super Regret of the Dragon were to descend from the sky, the scene would be unimaginable. With both our forces here, the Great Yan Empire can wipe them out in one fell swoop. "
"That won't happen." Ying Guang said, "The Great Yan Empire will not launch a strategic attack against us for a long time. They have already tested our strategy and confirmed that we have an ancient interceptor."
The Great Yan Empire was the overlord, so their strategic vision was very high. They only cared about deterrence.
Right now, Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain's hundreds of thousands of men were scattered in formation. A single Super Regret of the Dragon would not be enough to wipe them out.
Would they use a long-range strategic attack just to wipe out tens of thousands of men? The Great Yan Empire's vision was not that low.
If he couldn't destroy Dark Castle, Stupa Mountain, and Qian Capital, the rest of the attacks wouldn't make much sense.
Shen Lang thought for a moment, then said, "Prince Ying Guang, Sect Master Ren, there is only one reason why you want to capture me, and that is to launch the Regret of the Dragon to deter the Great Yan Empire, right? I can help you launch the Regret of the Dragon, as long as you place the Strength of the Dragon and Regret of the Dragon in advance, tell me the location, and let my men inspect the area in advance to see if there is any danger. Then, I'll ride a flying beast to help you activate and launch the Regret of the Dragon. Once the launch is complete, I'll immediately escape on my big super. Isn't that great? Why do you have to capture me? "
Ying Guang's eyes revealed a cold glint. This Shen Lang was always trying to sow discord, and he did it silently. Every time he addressed him, he would put Prince Ying Guang first and Sect Master Ren second. What would Sect Master Ren think? One had to know that in this cooperative relationship, Sect Leader Ren held the initiative.
Shen Lang continued, "I believe Prince Ying Guang has already guessed it. Not long ago, I colluded with the Great Yan Empire. Now, I can collude with you. The Great Yan Empire just launched a strategic attack on you, and you can retaliate. If you want to use the Regret of the Dragon to attack the Great Yan Empire, I will immediately help you launch it. "
Immediately, the two leaders were speechless.
Could you, Shen Lang, be any more shameless? A month ago, you colluded with the Great Yan Empire to harm us.
Now, you want to collude with us to harm the Great Yan Empire. Are you always the one taking advantage of us? Are you trying to win from both sides?
Of course, this kind of thing was very common. During the Iran-Iraq War, more than one country first sold weapons to Iran, and then sold them to Iraq. There were even worse cases. For a long time during World War II, America sold weapons and oil to Japan. What was the point of integrity?
In the past, Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain were tempted by this proposal, but now … they could not.
This was because the Great Yan Empire had already demonstrated their super long-range strategic attack ability. Provoking the Yan Capital at this time? They were not that stupid.
"Alright, Shen Lang, don't waste time," Ying Guang said. "It's time for you to make a choice. Either you surrender, or I will kill all of your men. I will count down from ten."
"All Snow Eagle Troops, get ready!"
Ying Guang was awesome. His inner force was so strong that his shout reverberated throughout the sky.
More than a thousand Snow Eagle Troops started to get into formation in the sky. More than a thousand Special Warriors picked up their ancient crossbows and descended in an orderly manner. They flew directly to the sky 300 meters above the ground. More than a thousand ancient crossbows aimed at Prince Jin's troops on the ground.
These ancient crossbows could be fired continuously. Once they were fired, it would be like a downpour.
The tens of thousands of Prince Jin's men on the ground did not have ancient armor. In fact, they did not even have new armor. They could not withstand these ancient crossbows.
Once the Snow Eagle Troops on Stupa Mountain fired, Prince Jin's tens of thousands of men would not be able to withstand it. There would be countless casualties.
"Hell Troops, get ready!"
With that order, the hundreds of ancient giant crossbows of Stupa Mountain's ground troops all fired. All of them were ancient arrows that could explode, with a range of more than a few thousand meters. Once they were fired, they would be able to deal a devastating blow to Prince Jin's tens of thousands of men.
Therefore, in at least half an hour, Ying Guang and Stupa Mountain would be able to kill all of Prince Jin's fifty thousand men.
Ying Guang said, "In half an hour, or even a quarter of an hour, we can kill all of your men. Your Excellency Shen Lang, the countdown begins. It's time for you to choose your life! "
Whoosh!
An Archaic Arrow shot into the sky and exploded violently.
"Ten!"
Whoosh … The second Primordial Arrow shot into the sky.
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
Ying Guang quietly counted down. Once the countdown ended, he would immediately give the order to attack. He would not give Shen Lang any room for imagination.
Only blood and death could prove the absolute will of Ying Guang and Sectmaster Ren.
"Five, four, three …"
"Stop!" Shen Lang suddenly shouted.
"Stop!" Ying Guang shouted.
Immediately, the Ancient Arrow's signal flare on the ground stopped firing, and the countdown stopped temporarily.
"Your Excellency Shen Lang, have you thought it through?" Ying Guang asked, "Are you willing to surrender now?"
Shen Lang looked at Stupa Mountain's master and said, "Sectmaster Ren, this ancient ruin in the southern sea is of utmost importance to you, right? It's as important as the headquarters."
Of course. It was just like how the British Empire could not afford to not have colonies in India. It was just like what the British Empire said during World War II. They would rather give up their homeland than lose Manchuria.
Stupa Mountain had a total of three ancient interceptors, and Dark Castle had one in the southern sea.
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Sectmaster Ren couldn't help but shiver. "What are you trying to say, Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang said, "Comparatively speaking, am I more important to Stupa Mountain, or are the ancient ruins of the Southern Sea more important to you?"
Of course the ancient ruin was more important. It was the foundation of Stupa Mountain, and its strategic importance far exceeded Shen Lang's.
Ying Guang frowned. "Shen Lang, I'm going to continue the countdown."
Shen Lang said, "Sect Head Ren, I order all of you to immediately activate the encirclement and release Jun Jin and the tens of thousands of people back to Nu Tiao City unconditionally. If you don't agree, I will launch a destructive attack on the ancient ruins in the Southern Sea. Your most important strategic base will be completely buried at the bottom of the sea. Countless secret laboratories, secret warehouses, secret libraries, secret armory, and everything else will be destroyed. "
"Sectmaster Ren, the reason why Stupa Mountain can stand out and challenge the Empire of Great Yan is because of this ancient ruin. How much have you exploited it? Not even 30%, right? This ruin will decide the fate of Stupa Mountain for the next 100 years. What will happen if it is destroyed? Can Stupa Mountain withstand it? "
Sect Master Ren said slowly, "Shen Lang, you are right. This giant ancient ruin is the foundation of our Stupa Mountain, and it must not be damaged. But I want to know, how will you destroy it when it is thousands of miles away? Don't tell me you're going to fire the Remorse of the Dragon. "
This gigantic Primordial Relic was at the bottom of the sea. Even if the Relic exploded at the bottom of the sea, it would be useless. It would not be able to damage the Primordial Relic at all. Otherwise, Shen Lang would not be the one to do it.
There was only one way to deal a destructive blow to the Ancient Ruins, and that was to sneak into the Ancient Ruins and detonate the gigantic energy cores inside.
But to enter this ancient ruin? That was a complete fool's dream.
The only entrance was at Dark Castle, where Stupa Mountain had amassed a large number of troops, including giant crossbows, hell legions, snow eagles, and even two Draconic Force launchers, Dragon's Regret, and ancient interceptors.
Even the powerful Empire of Great Yan didn't attack Dark Castle, let alone Shen Lang's Wrath Tide. Even if he mobilized all his forces, they would be wiped out two thousand miles away from Dark Castle. They couldn't even get close, let alone attack Dark Castle.
Of course, Stupa Mountain had another entrance. It was the energy vortex connected to the ancient ruin at King Kong Peak.
But outside that energy vortex, there were countless Stupa Mountain special warriors and Infernal Legion guards. In order to surround Prince Jin's army, Stupa Mountain had mobilized a large number of soldiers from the ancient ruin. There were still many Stupa Mountain warriors and hell guards guarding the energy vortex.
Most importantly, only Shen Lang could pass through the energy vortex, and Shen Lang was right in front of Ying Guang.
That was why Shen Lang said he wanted to destroy the ancient ruin. He must've lost his mind.
Meanwhile, Shen Lang raised his hand and said slowly, "Prince Ying Guang, Sect Leader Ren, you don't believe me? Do you think I'm daydreaming? I'm a few hundred miles away. How can I destroy your ancient ruin? If I have such a divine ability, why didn't I use it before? "
"Of course, it's because I, Shen Lang, am awesome. I was very unhappy about what happened on the 29th of December. Even though I successfully slapped you in the face, the main character on the stage was the Great Yan Empire, not me."
"This time, I, Shen Lang, am going to be the main character. I've already created all kinds of miracles. This time, I'm going to create a big one." Shen Lang shouted in a resounding voice, "Prince Ying Guang, stop counting down, because it's my turn now."
"Sect Leader Ren, I order you to immediately disband your army and put down all your weapons. Let Prince Jin's army leave this place and return to Fury Tide City. Otherwise, I'll destroy your ancient ruin. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"The countdown begins. Five, four, three, two, one …"
As Shen Lang counted down, he gestured with his fingers. Whether it was his movements or his tone, they were full of traces of stage acting. How exaggerated.
He loved acting too much. Compared to the previous Shen Lang, he was even more Shen Lang.
Ying Guang and Sect Leader Ren held their breaths as they stared at Shen Lang and the direction of the ancient ruin at the bottom of the sea.
They refused to believe it. They refused to believe it.
Shen Lang was not a god. How could he destroy an indestructible ancient ruin from a few hundred miles away? An indestructible ancient ruin? Even the Great Yan Empire could not do it. How could he do it?
"The countdown is over." Shen Lang said slowly, "It's time to witness a miracle!"
Then, he gently snapped his fingers.
"Snap!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom …"
An earth-shattering explosion suddenly occurred on the surface of the sea a few hundred miles to the south.
It was a series of explosions.
Endless seawater rushed into the sky. Following that, flames rose into the sky.
The most magnificent fireworks seemed to be staged on the boundless sea.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …"
It was as though it was choreographed. Shocking explosions occurred one after another.
The entire surface of the sea was trembling. Huge waves swept over.
The entire surface of the sea was shaking.
Ying Guang and Sect Leader Ren were completely stunned. They stared at this scene in disbelief.
That's right. That was the direction of the ancient ruin, where the foundation of Stupa Mountain was.
A shocking explosion occurred inside his ancient ruin. It directly tore the seabed apart and created a tsunami. The incomparably precious City of the Ancients collapsed piece by piece, completely smashed into pieces.
The precious secret warehouse, the precious ancient laboratory, in this series of explosions, completely disappeared from this world.
Although this wasn't the Regret of the Dragon, the scene was even more magnificent.
It was like the largest fountain. Shocking waves shot up to a few hundred meters high.
Shen Lang entered an even more exaggerated performance. He closed his eyes in infatuation. His hands danced as he sang the Symphony of Fate.
"Dang dang dang dang …"
"Dang dang dang dang …"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
As his arms danced to the melody, the huge explosions on the surface of the sea continued.
The collapse of the huge ancient ruin in the southern sea also continued. It was a super destructive show.
The entire world and the entire sea had become the stage for Shen Lang's performance.
Prince Jin's tens of thousands of people, Ying Guang and Sect Leader Ren, as well as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers present, had all become his audience.
The raging waves and the roaring of the mountains and the roaring of the tsunamis were like the magnificent destruction scenes in the movies.
Shen Lang had fulfilled his promise. He had put on an unprecedented magnificent show, and he had become the absolute main character.
But how did he do it? This was completely impossible!
Unimaginable!
