Chapter 995: Undead Insects
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What the Voodoo Race was best known for were their undead insects and poisons. Comparatively speaking, their offensive and defensive powers were weak. The Voodoo Race warriors could be easily slain as long as their undead insects and poisons could be warded off.
Lu Li’s tactic was a wise one. The mountain over there was covered in dark smoke. The visibility was low and psychic power was cut off. If they were to dash there rashly, they might be poisoned and even killed since they had no idea of what the Voodoo Race’s plan was. Many human warriors might never be able to leave the Voodoo Land of the South again.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The human warriors took actions. Xuan Energy was released on all directions. The woods, streams, rocks, and plants on the ground were flattened. Rubbles were flying around, and the trees and grasses were turned into dust. The beautiful view was wiped out in an instant, leaving behind nothing but smoke and soot.
“Advance slowly and keep releasing Xuan Energy!”
Lu Li, Jiang Qiling and the twins, He Yue, Patriarch Sun and the others stayed in the air. Lu Li could fully grasp the situation from up there.
Some of He Yue’s subsidiary bodies were hiding in the mountains. Though the dark smoke rose everywhere, she could gather some information via her subsidiary bodies and keep Lu Li updated.
The warriors were moving forward bit by bit, blasting at the mountains. Hills were flattened, forests were wiped out and rivers were ruined. In general, anything that could help the Voodoo Race hide was destroyed. If there were some Voodoo Race warriors in the forests, they would have been blasted away as well.
“They are retreating!”
He Yue noticed what the Voodoo Race army was doing via her subsidiary bodies. She let Lu Li know at once and said afterward, “Their army is moving to our sides. I suppose they are trying to close in on us.”
“Closing in?”
Lu Li sneered. The Voodoo Race did have over 10 million, but the larger part of them were average warriors. Those that were comparable to their human counterpart were less than three to four million. The Voodoo Race was trying to use the huge-crowd strategy on Lu Li? The Master of Voodoo Race sure was barking at the moon.
“There are two million each on the east and west side, and they’re moving fast!”
Soon, He Yu provided the latest information to Lu Li. Thanks to the Bond beast, Lu Li felt like he had countless eyes to see everything and to have everything under control. It was such a wonderful feeling.
“Patriarch Sun!”
Lu Li instructed Patriarch Sun who was by his side. “Take half a million warriors with you and advance to the east. Tear apart the encirclement swiftly. Come back after one round of attack and do not linger.”
“Patriarch Lei!”
Lu Li sent a message to another patriarch, “Bring half a million warriors and go to the east. Be quick and come back immediately after you rip their encirclement.”
The Voodoo Race was making arrangements, and they thought Lu Li was kept in the dark. He had to crush their plans before they finished it and kill a bunch of Voodoo Race warriors in the process.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
The human warriors had been assigned to different teams already. Patriarch Sun and Patriarch Lei called over several leaders and each patriarch took half a million warriors with them and charged to the east and west respectively as fast as they could.
The other human warriors pressed on. Even with less than a million, none was afraid because their lord was up there with them. With Lu Li here keeping the situation well under his control, they shall fear nothing.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The human warriors’ reaction was fast and they were disciplined. In the time for dozens of breaths, the million warriors had reached the encirclement of the Voodoo Race which was still in the works. The human warriors dashed on ferociously like tigers. The Voodoo Race warriors’ work on defensive formations and their toxic haze was not completed yet when the human warriors started attacking. The thin layer of encirclement was torn apart at once...
“Woo, woo~”
From the Lu City of Voodoo came a bugle call and from there swarmed out a large number of Voodoo Race army. Those that were running to form the encirclement began to retreat. They were going to attack at the raiding human warriors from both sides.
Patriarch Sun and Patriarch Lei were both instructed by Lu Li to finish one round of attack. They turned around and came back after hundreds of thousands of Voodoo Race warriors were slain. The converging attack plan of the Voodoo Race fell through and since they had not heard from the Master of Voodoo Race, the warriors could not go and chase after the humans, either.
“Howl!”
Another bugle call came from the Lu City of Voodoo. The Voodoo Race warriors that snuck to build the encirclement had to withdraw. Their plan was seen through, and the humans were reacting incredibly fast. To continue the encirclement would only sacrifice more Voodoo Race warriors for nothing.
The human side kept pushing forward. Like a war machine, they stomped everything in their way.
The Lu City of Voodoo was inside a mountain range with complicated terrains, dotted with forests, caves, valleys, and trenches, which could provide cover for the Voodoo Race.
The Voodoo Race was never good at a full front battle. When they cooperated with the other three alien races in the past, they always stood on Barbarian warriors’ backs. Only by hiding themselves could the Voodoo Race warriors release poisons and cause the greatest casualties.
The mountains and hills were flattened. All the things that could cover the Voodoo Race warriors were blasted open. The toxic haze was dispersed slowly. Human warriors pressed on, and the Voodoo Race warriors were forced to retreat.
“Over a hundred powerful Voodoo Race warriors had flown out from the city!”
At that moment, He Yu suddenly had new information. Abruptly, tens of thousands of miles ahead of them were covered with a dark fog, which made checking the surroundings with psychic power difficult. Lu Li and the human warriors were blinded. It was a wise decision to bring He Yu to the battle.
Lu Li commanded the human warriors to stay alert and slow down. The Voodoo Race’s powerful warriors could not have just come to hang around. They must be up to something.
As they had expected...
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, the dark fog began to tumble over and it thickened. Several black vipers emerged from the fog and they swarmed in the air, moving towards the human warriors. One black viper after another covered up the sky and blotted the sun like dark clouds.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
Jiang Tianshun and other Earth Immortal Realm warriors generated hand shadows, attempting to disperse the black vipers, fearing that once the dark fog spread across, many warriors would be poisoned.
However!
The hand shadows did not shatter the dark fog, though some black vipers were dispersed. Yet the dark fog was still spreading.
“This is not a regular toxic fog. There are undead insects inside. Everyone, back up for thirty miles. Patriarchs, kill the undead insects!”
Lu Li shouted and said to Jiang Qiling and the twins, “Go into the Wicked Bead now for I have to take actions or else we’ll incur great casualties.”
Not even Earth Immortal Realm warriors could kill those undead insects. Clearly, they were the more powerful ones. The undead insects swarmed over amidst the fog. Once they reached the human warriors, many would be poisoned to death.
When the human’s formation was disrupted, the Voodoo Race warriors could press down on them at once. By then, Lu Li might be able to lead some powerful warriors and suppress the Voodoo Race, but over half of the two to three million human warriors would lose their lives.
“Darling, be careful.”
Jiang Qiling was quite capable, even more so than the average patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall. Even so, she nodded. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang agreed as well.
They knew very well that they could not offer much help by staying here. Rather, Lu Li might not be able to exert full strength because he would have to worry about them.
