T-Tentacle Monster?

Ji Lin wiped the blood off his face and roared in rare anger.

"This is the Nine Abyss Netherworlds' last stand! As long as we hold them off, victory is ours!"

The war between the Nine Abyss and the Alliance has lasted for two years.

In the past two years, with the help of Cangxuan and Ji Lin's extraordinary command ability, the alliance has made unstoppable progress and easily pushed the battle lines back.

Ji Lin's heroic figure on the battlefield made her prestige reach an unprecedented level. The former alliance was completely transformed into the "Youxiong Clan", and Ji Lin was no longer called the leader. Instead, following the teachings of the Nüwa Nuwa, Ji Lin was called "King".

However, although the battle lines have been pushed back to Nine Abyss's doorstep, the counterattack Nine Abyss is now displaying has exceeded everyone's expectations.

The envisioned scene of annihilation did not materialize. Instead, soldiers from the Nine Abyss Netherworlds, appearing mad and possessing bronze heads and iron arms, inflicted their greatest casualties since the start of the war.

"These people have completely turned into Death Soldier." Cangxuan, also covered in blood, retreated to Ji Lin's side with his sword in hand and said expressionlessly.

Others didn't understand why these members of the Nine Abyss Clan had suddenly gone mad, but Cangxuan saw it very clearly.

These people have become completely Death Soldier, and it's not just the living; there are probably also those who were already severely infected and died before.

In the Previous Era, the Death Soldier were commonly known as zombies. Isn't that exactly what the Nine Abyss Clan is like now?

"Death Soldier?" Ji Lin tilted his head.

"They've been completely demonized." Cangxuan unleashed the fire power of the Keys of Domination, easily engulfing the several Death Soldier charging towards him. "Now, the entire Nine Abyss Clan might have become a demonic abyss."

"Has the Nine Abyss Clan gone mad...?"

Ji Lin's face stiffened.

Cangxuan continued, "Are you really not retreating?"

"We cannot retreat!" Even when asked by the "Great God Fuxi," Ji Lin did not flinch. "This is the strongest military force of the Youxiong Clan! If we cannot achieve victory in one battle, the morale that the Youxiong Clan has built up will be gone! And who knows if these Nine Abyss Clan members who have completely transformed into demons will take this opportunity to attack!"

We can't retreat; retreating would be tantamount to fleeing.

Ji Lin knew very well that some of the demonized Nine Abyss Clan members had already lost their courage, but thanks to the Great God Fuxi and his own usual prestige and heroic fighting prowess, they were still able to retain the will to continue fighting.

If they withdraw, their morale will be shattered, and people will surely spread fear of the Nine Abyss Clan, causing panic among the Youxiong Clan and even leading to another split into an alliance.

So no matter what, Nine Abyss must die here today!

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cangxuan didn't waste any more words.

She was just offering suggestions; she still knew who was in command on the battlefield.

Even though Cangxuan knew that there might be a massive army of Death Soldier numbering in the Nine Abyss, he still chose to charge forward.

"Remember to conserve your energy." Cangxuan said this before rushing back to the Death Soldier beside him.

(Where's that Judgment-Class Honkai Beast? Why hasn't it appeared yet?)

Cangxuan felt an indescribable confusion in his heart.

The battle lasted for another two hours.

The entrance to the Nine Abyss finally stopped pouring out Death Soldier. At this time, most of the people on the battlefield were exhausted and collapsed, leaving only Cangxuan and Ji Lin standing on the battlefield.

"Wrong..."

Cangxuan murmured softly.

The quantity is incorrect.

Although it was a primitive society, that doesn't mean the population was small.

In this battle, the Youxiong Clan also sent 5,000 men. Although their equipment varied, they were all legitimate warriors. If Ji Lin were willing to stake his entire fortune, the tribe could muster 20,000 to 30,000 men capable of fighting.

Although the Nine Abyss Netherworlds were not as large as the Youxiong Clan, which was a combination of several tribes, the entire population was mobilized into soldiers under the influence of Honkai Energy, and even corpses could form an army. This number could not possibly be less than 10,000.

Cangxuan had even prepared for the scenario where only she and Ji Lin remained on the entire battlefield, and all the Death Soldier were wiped out.

But right now, there are probably only five or six thousand Death Soldier on the ground.

"Yes, the quantity is incorrect."

Liu Bai, who had always served as a battlefield support, also realized the problem.

Just kidding, so what if it was a primitive society? Weren't the Liao, Jin, Jurchen, and other ethnic groups also at the primitive society level in their early and middle periods? But didn't they also easily gather thousands or even tens of thousands of warriors?

Although primitive societies had certain problems with their social structure, division of labor, productivity, and technology compared to later generations, they could still extract people, albeit with difficulty, let alone the Nine Abyss, which are equivalent to necromancers today.

"There's a good hypothesis and a bad hypothesis. Cangxuan, which one do you want to hear?"

"It's bad," Cangxuan said in a low voice.

"That means those Death Soldiers who should have existed in theory but didn't actually appear were used as food."

Liu Bai tried to keep his tone relaxed.

"On the bright side, it means there was a problem with the transformation of the Nine Abyss Clan, which forced it to be stopped."

"...I choose the worst." This guy, who came from Previous Era, was always used to preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Cangxuan turned to Ji Lin and said, "A great victory will allow everyone to return in triumph."

Although Ji Lin was also surprised that Nine Abyss's counterattack had stopped, given the current situation, she dared not say anything more about eliminating the threat completely.

The goal is simply to kill off the endless stream of demons from the Nine Abyss Netherworlds until they are exhausted— Ji Lin also realized that there might be something fishy going on.

Know when to stop.

After all, he had brought 5,000 men. Although there were countless wounded, the actual number of those who died in battle was estimated to be only around 500.

Nine Abyss actually left behind five or six thousand corpses—this was also thanks to Nine Abyss' wave-by-wave "Calabash Brothers" style counterattacks and the lack of command.

If Ji Lin were to actually engage in a direct battle with these five or six thousand demons, he couldn't guarantee that he would suffer such heavy losses.

"Everyone! Those who can still stand, get up and clean up the battlefield! Let's march back! Next time, we will absolutely wipe out the Nine Abyss Netherworld!"

Ji Lin's shouts of victory echoed throughout the battlefield. Even those who were so exhausted that their legs were weak struggled to their feet and continued to carry out Ji Lin's orders.

They piled up the corpses of the Nine Abyss Clan and set them on fire.

Also, look for any survivors who are seriously injured and unconscious.

After more and more people mustered up their strength to stand up, it took only about an hour to complete these tasks.

However, both Ji Lin and Cangxuan felt uneasy looking at the dazzling flames.

"Hua is already on his way."

Liu Bai's voice reached Cangxuan's ears, causing Cangxuan's expression to relax.

Cangxuan then looked at Ji Lin and said, "Ji Lin, lead the men and retreat. Leave the rest to us 'immortals and gods'."

"... Please take good care of yourself, Great God Fuxi."

After a brief silence, Ji Lin did not stand on ceremony and immediately left with his men.

She had a premonition that an even bigger battle was about to break out here.

Although she also wanted to stay here and fight alongside the great god Fuxi, she understood even more that she was now carrying the weight of a vast tribe on her shoulders and could not act impulsively.

"I am a deity."

Cangxuan tapped Ji Lin on the head.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin said no more and quickly organized his troops to retreat.

Not long after Ji Lin retreated, a deafening roar resounded within the Nine Abyss Netherworld.

Not far away on the sea, a huge and Honkai Beast slowly emerged from the water.

"This size—!"

Even Cangxuan could no longer maintain his composure at this moment.

"Even a colossal Honkai Beast that doesn't exist in the records of Previous Era... why is it here?"

A terrifying Honkai Beast, so large it's almost the size of a small continent.

Unlike the Honkai Beast that Cangxuan remembered as "seemingly capable of being fought," the colossal Honkai Beast before him was clearly beyond human capability to defeat, judging by its sheer size.

"If Honkai could reason with you, it wouldn't be Honkai."

As Liu Bai spoke, Cangxuan's gaze rapidly ascended.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters... the height of the earth and stone giant continued to grow until it reached seventy meters before finally stopping.

As a result, the surrounding terrain instantly changed from a plain to a basin.

Liu Bai cleared a space in his chest and placed Cangxuan inside.

Even if it's thirty meters above or forty meters below, it won't cause a "collapse" due to exceeding the distance.

"I'll try to delay it."

The giant made of earth and stone, though seventy meters tall enough to look down on the colossal Honkai Beast slowly advancing in the sea, appeared so frail compared to Liu Bai opponent's massive size.

However, whether it is thick or thin is not the point.

All he needs to do is hold off Chiyou.

The giant hand formed from earth and stone was hurled away by Liu Bai, striking Chiyou directly in the head.

The next moment, the giant's hand returned to normal, and Chiyou roared angrily at the earth and stone giant in front of him.

Looking into the distance at the giant rising from the ground and the deafening roar of the monster, Ji Lin suddenly understood something.

"His Majesty..."

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor shielded them from the truly deadly danger.

"Your Majesty, that is..." The others stared in disbelief at the enormous and magnificent giant.

"That's His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor! His Majesty is fighting against the evil gods of the Nine Abyss for our sake!" Ji Lin suppressed the urge to turn back. "This is not a battle we can participate in! In order not to let His Majesty down, everyone hurry up and evacuate!"

"Yes!"

On the shore of the Nine Abyss Netherworld, the earth and stone giant controlled by Liu Bai beckoned to Chiyou was roaring angrily.

You bastard, come here.

Upon seeing this Chiyou roared again in anger.

It's going to destroy this big guy who dares to challenge himself!

Chapter 466 Tentacle Monster?

Chiyou began to doubt his existence as a beast.

Why should I waste so much time fighting with a mud man?

Chiyou once again crushed half of his opponent's body, and then, feeling the lifeless mud and sand in his mouth, Chiyou no longer wanted to fight.

Even though its intelligence was hampered by its enormous size, it realized that it seemed to be engaged in a meaningless struggle.

No matter how many times you destroy the opponent's body, the opponent can easily regenerate in the next second.

The giant's limbs that he had bitten off were pure mud and sand, containing absolutely no energy.

Moreover, even if you bite the other person to pieces, the other person will not let out a wail or feel any pain.

It's meaningless.

Chiyou truly realized this.

The soil and sand that the other party uses to shape their body are readily available, but one's own energy cannot be wasted.

—After eating more than a dozen mouthfuls of stones and sand, even though Chiyou was a beast-like Honkai Beast whose primary nature was bestiality, his bestiality had almost subsided, and his thoughts began to take over the high ground of his body.

Fighting a mud-covered person is neither in line with animalistic instincts nor with human nature.

Thinking of this, Chiyou took a few steps with his short legs and slowly and clumsily twisted his body.

It should be destroying life, not wasting time here with an unkillable mud man.

It sensed the presence of human civilization in that direction.

Boom! Boom!

Every step Chiyou took could trigger small earthquakes, turning vast stretches of forest and hills into depressions. Chiyou had no intention of turning back to care about that mud man anymore.
