Chapter 417 - 405: The Meaning of Strength
The sound of artillery fire echoed.
After two days, reinforcements from the city finally arrived, totaling five ships. Besides two made of iron, the other three were recently forged wooden ships.
Not the fishing boats people might imagine.
In fact, with the help of professionals, these ships were enormous, so much so that, apart from their materials, their imposing presence was no less than ordinary iron ships.
Their aura surged.
In this situation, Chen Feng unhesitatingly launched an attack on the town ruled by the White Dragon.
However, just as Chen Feng arrived nearby, a distant blaze was blindingly bright, and as he slowly approached, screams also reached his ears.
"Master... something’s changed!"
The Dark Elf’s eyes became much brighter at night, possessing night vision ability. At this moment, she peered into the distance, seemingly discovering something, and her expression tightened.
Chen Feng remained indifferent.
Even if the Dark Elf said nothing, he could see that this wasn’t as easy to conquer as he imagined.
Civil war?
No!
This was not just a battle between humans; Chen Feng sniffed the air and clearly detected a dangerous scent.
It wasn’t purely humans; mixed in were other creatures.
...............
Infernos were ablaze.
The honey badger had no compassion, and its subordinates dared not perform any rescue. The monster’s will had occupied its entire being. Now, not only its face but even its emotions had turned as cold as that of a monster.
The honey badger wasn’t in a hurry to conquer this land. Rather than occupying it, it simply wanted to destroy it entirely.
It would not tolerate any force having the right to overthrow its rule, so in this war, the number of deaths and the extent of destruction were not matters of concern to the honey badger.
However, the sudden explosion nearby caught the honey badger’s attention, and it turned its gaze toward the distant darkness, feeling a slight pressure there.
Who exactly were these newcomers?
...............
In fact.
A barely noticeable blood light flickered in Chen Feng’s eyes. His expression seemed rather eccentric, as if the current scene excited him with joy.
This was supposed to be the fruit he was about to reap.
But now, as he arrived with his sacks, he discovered that all the surrounding trees had been felled, even the fruits trampled entirely.
To say he was not angry would be a lie.
"Snap."
A snap of his fingers.
In an instant, a metallic-looking monster appeared behind Chen Feng, its mouth dripping with a corrosive fluid.
Pointing ahead, Chen Feng said in a deep voice, "Find it, then kill it!"
The air was laced with a scent of death. It was neither human nor insect, nor merely a beast; the mutant needed an opponent, and the other undoubtedly was its target.
The mutant’s body gradually vanished.
Invisibility.
One of the mutant’s abilities: they could blend their form into the air, turning from physical structure into a semi-energy lifeform, somewhat similar to a soul or spirit.
"Attack, slay all resisters!"
As the mutant disappeared, Chen Feng waved his hand. He had no patience to wait for the land’s ruler to converse with him; he wanted to be the master here now, so all resisting forces would be dealt with ruthlessly.
A chaos of slaughter.
The blood flag of Order unfolded, familiar to those who recognized it, signaling the start of a war.
...............
Order and the land’s enemies soon clashed, and as the honey badger looked at the suddenly landed enemies, a hint of anger flashed in its eyes; these people had disturbed its enjoyment of the fireworks.
They all deserved to die.
With its own hands, it would personally twist off their heads.
However, just as the honey badger was about to make a move, its ears twitched, followed by its body making an odd motion to hurriedly dodge aside.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion erupted on the spot, tearing a nearby warrior to shreds. For a moment, the battlefield was drenched in scarlet blood and shattered bones.
Standing aside.
The honey badger immediately caught a strange scent. It couldn’t put into words what it was, but it was undoubtedly a stifling odor.
Chaos, slaughter.
This was a very strange feeling; a chill ran through the honey badger’s soul, and even its lips tingled momentarily.
Fear?
Afraid?
What a joke!
A trace of resentment appeared on the beast-like face of the honey badger. As a newly awakened life, it couldn’t tolerate that its opponent could make it feel this way.
The dust settled.
The honey badger quickly saw its opponent.
There was basically no surprise. Its metallic skeletal appearance was full of strength, standing at about three meters tall, but its form was far more terrifying and horrifying than the honey badger. Saliva dripped from its fanged mouth, making a "splish-splash" sound, clearly indicating that its saliva contained a highly corrosive substance.
Mutant.
Devourer, walking fear.
The mutant’s explosively powerful legs suddenly stepped forward, and its chaotic will burst forth in an instant. Its hands swiftly grabbed the mouth of an enemy, and with unstoppable force, blood spurted from both sides of the opponent’s mouth.
"Roar!"
Covered in blood plasma, the mutant became even more ferocious and brutal. It let out a roar, and a visible ripple seemed to tear through the space.
The honey badger was silent for a long time, almost sitting motionless, staring at the mutant for a while, then squeezed out four words from between its teeth: "I want you dead!"
Just as the honey badger’s killing intent was revealed, it suddenly felt a chilling sensation.
The honey badger suddenly stopped in its tracks. In front of it, the massive figure of the mutant moved with the agility of a fish in water, slipping out at an unbelievable angle.
The tail curled.
Glistening with a cold light, it stabbed towards the honey badger’s head in almost half a second!
"Damn it!"
The honey badger roared, its scarlet pupils instantly narrowing into a thin line. It attempted to dodge the mutant’s attack, but it was already too late.
"Splat!"
The mutant’s iron tail pierced the honey badger’s shoulder, spraying out a stinky, bloody fluid. Although it couldn’t avoid the strike entirely, it was much better than getting hit in a vital spot.
The mutant was a frenzied predator.
Compared to the honey badger, its entire being seemed more like it was born for slaughter.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In almost a few seconds, the mutant launched an intense offensive. The honey badger dodged the opponent’s attacks five times in a row, eventually being forced into a position near a dead-end. Helplessly, it clenched its fist and swiped a claw forward.
The honey badger raised its claws, and its palms suddenly burst with light. Then a chilling wind howled, and spectral wails resounded. In an instant, the honey badger’s fingers grew rapidly, carrying the ominous threat of death. These claws, as if soaked in a blood pool for years, emitted a piercing odor.
A high-pitched, sky-splitting shriek abruptly erupted. The honey badger spread its arms and charged towards the mutant without warning. Its eyes, filled with hatred, flashed incessantly, seemingly trying to penetrate the mutant’s armor and see through its soul.
Thud!
Under tremendous force, the mutant’s figure was knocked backward, and before it even hit the ground, it spat a mouthful of fresh blood. Its horrifying body slammed into the massive rock behind it, leaving a human-shaped crater even though it wore armor as tough as steel, yet it still suffered severe injuries.
"Ugh..."
The mutant coughed violently, suddenly spewing out a large amount of greenish blood.
"Splurt!"
The mutant’s attack simultaneously struck the honey badger. A huge bloody hole suddenly appeared in the honey badger’s chest.
Such an injury would be fatal for any human. However, for the awakened honey badger, it wasn’t as terrifying as one would imagine.
"Die..."
The honey badger’s impeccable combat skills and chilling vitality instilled fear in people’s hearts. At this point, it looked at the mutant not with fear from its injury, but with an excited stance.
"You’ve lost, you’re going to die..."
The honey badger and the mutant clashed like beasts fighting for territory, and now, the honey badger undoubtedly gained the final victory.
The next moment, it carried its overwhelming momentum and struck towards the mutant.
"Whoosh!"
But at this moment, an arrow hit the honey badger’s body in a direct strike, pinning it to a nearby tree.
The honey badger looked up, trying to find the surrounding enemies, but in an instant, two more arrows pierced its head and heart. This creature, devoid of human feelings due to its parasitic nature, died on the tree in such a laughable manner.
The nearby people were dumbfounded.
Perhaps everything happened too suddenly, causing some people to even think they were dreaming and couldn’t believe the events of the day.
Some footsteps echoed slowly on the soil.
Chen Feng walked to the front of the crowd, looking at the honey badger, half-dead on the ground and lifeless on the tree. It was as calm as a still lake, with no ripples at all.
Victory.
But there was nothing to boast about.
Solitude at the height.
In this remote place, while everyone was panicking due to the honey badger, in Chen Feng’s eyes, the opponent was nothing more than a bug that could be crushed at any moment.
Is power useful?
Of course!
