Man on the ark, forced to become king

After a moment's thought, Wei Yanwu reached out and took the metal box, about the size of a cigarette pack, glanced at the ruins of the village, and looked at them with a complicated expression.

He held the box in his palm and gently opened it. On the bright yellow silk lining lay a jet-black chess piece.

In fact, he knew from the very beginning that this mission was impossible to complete, because the owner of this item was not here at all. However, the power of this chess piece itself was enough to make Lin Lu go around in circles in Kazdel, and by the time she returned to Lungmen, everything would have been settled.

Unexpectedly, this accident happened, so it's time to take it back.

But what no one expected was that the moment the box was opened, the chess pieces inside seemed to sense something and floated up from the box without warning!

Lin Lu instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately realized what was happening. She reached out to grab the chess piece, but grasped only air.

Before the hand even got close, the chess pieces shattered into pieces, and a dark light swept out, engulfing the entire field!

Ow! ! !

A sound, resembling both a dragon's roar and a beast's howl, echoed from the void. The earth, which had just calmed down after the natural disaster, trembled once more, as if something terrifying had awakened from the depths of the earth.

Ouch! !

The roar rose again, and the spreading dark light suddenly converged, forming a floating cloud of smoke that vaguely constructed a huge shadow, resembling a dragon but not quite, which crashed into the crown of the golden tree with a tangible pressure.

"court death!"

Lin Lu's anger flared up, and the holy mark wrapped around her wrist shone brightly. Her left arm was wrapped in crimson, instantly transforming into a huge claw several meters long, which slammed directly onto the phantom.

Dragon Offering Prayer - Dragon Claw!

One of the techniques possessed by those who hunt dragons and devour dragon hearts—a pure and overwhelmingly powerful force!

boom! !

The dragon claw collided with the phantom, and a powerful shockwave swept in all directions.

However, despite taking a direct hit from the dragon's claw, the strange phantom was completely unharmed. It merely retreated slightly before charging towards the golden tree again, ignoring Lin Lu's intentions entirely.

"How could He have been activated?!"

Wei Yanwu, who was directly below, was stunned and, without thinking, grabbed the Crimson Sky Sword from Chen's arms.

Clang!

The longsword was drawn, and crimson sword energy flew out as if it were a physical entity, striking the illusory figure.

With the Crimson Sky Sword in hand and his cloak billowing in the wind, Wei Yanwu leaped into the air, seemingly serious. The sword, as black as ink, lost its original color and was stained with a blood-red hue, as if flames of blood were burning around it.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword pierced into the phantom's body, like oil being poured into a raging fire, black energy rising and crackling.

Undeterred by her failed attack, Lin Lu made a fist in mid-air, and crimson lightning condensed from her palm into a lightning blade several meters long, which she then brought down!

In an instant, lightning and fire flew, and sword energy crisscrossed!

Under the dual cutting and destruction of lightning and crimson sword energy, even the faint phantom could not withstand it and was immediately shattered, scattering into floating smoke that fell in all directions.

Boom~~

The bells echoed, and an invisible force pressed down, freezing the scattered smoke in mid-air. Mostima crossed her staff in front of her, the clock behind her turned, her eyes were slightly closed, and ripples spread through the air.

Ow! ! !

Suddenly, a roar sounded for the third time, and the ground not far away suddenly cracked open, from which a giant Originium worm more than three meters tall emerged and swallowed a wisp of falling smoke in one gulp!

At the same time, the other smoke that was about to be crushed by Mostima disappeared into thin air like phantoms. The Originium Bug's grayish-brown carapace swelled and twisted, and its body rapidly expanded, becoming a behemoth eight or nine meters tall in the blink of an eye. The spikes on its head actually transformed into a ferocious dragon head in the twisting process!

"Old Wei! What have you done?!"

Everyone present quickly moved away. Lin Lu glared angrily at Wei Yanwu, who was holding the Crimson Cloud sword, her eyes blazing with fury.

He genuinely hadn't expected this. He just wanted to plant a tree, so why were they all causing him trouble? Was he really that unlucky?

Kal'tsit and the others are one thing, that was just a coincidence, a helpless act. But what's with you, Wei Yanwu, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes? Did you specially come all the way from Lungmen to stab me?

If Lin Lu hadn't known that Wei Yanwu couldn't possibly know the secret of the Golden Tree, she would have seriously suspected that he did it on purpose!

"This was an accident; simple fragments couldn't have done this much."

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath, gripped the Crimson Sky sword, and his entire being resembled a long sword drawn from its sheath, exuding a powerful and sharp aura. This was quite different from his usual cunning and calculating demeanor. At this moment, he was more like a chivalrous knight-errant than a politician.

"We'll talk about everything else later. Let's kill Him first, completely and utterly, leaving nothing behind!"

"Hmph! Fiameta! Do me a favor and keep an eye on Chen and W, and that redhead and the one with the long white legs!"

Lin Lu snorted coldly, knowing that now was not the time to talk about these things. No matter where this thing came from, it could not be allowed to cause rampage here and endanger the Golden Tree.

"Its carapace is very thick, and it is difficult to break through that shell with brute force."

For reasons unknown, Kal'tsit, with a luminous stone shield over her head, also stood to the side and gave a gruff reminder.

Do you know what that thing is?

Lin Lu frowned, only to see that the dragon-headed Originium Worm, which had completed its mutation, was already enraged. Its huge body caused the earth to tremble, and it charged towards them like a small mountain.

Such a straightforward attack is not difficult to dodge, but the problem is that there is a golden tree behind him. How can he dodge?

There's no way to hide, and we can't hide!

Since that's the case, let's fight it head-on!

"Xiao Mo, freeze it!"

"I try my best."

Faced with such a massive target, Mostima felt immense pressure. Golden light flowed behind him as his wings shimmered, and the halo above his head split into two rings. His eyes were closed, and the hands of the clock behind him ticked a notch.

Boom! !

The bells tolled, and time stood still!

Mostima's face suddenly turned pale. Apart from Lin Lu and Wei Yanwu, whom she had specially taken care of, everything froze at this moment, and the giant Originium bug that was charging forward was also frozen in place.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Corruption of High-Rank Dragon Feast, Aegis!

Time stands still at this moment!

The rocky, sharp point materialized, transforming from an illusion into reality, enveloping Lin Lu from the shoulders and striking her directly from the side of the Originium Bug.

The corner of the melting pot!

The initial life force of the ancient golden tree, one of the hundred aspects of the furnace, can even wrestle with giants after being charged up!

The sharp angle collided with the hard shell, and Mostima's time stop was released at the same time. The Originium Bug, which was moving at high speed, was knocked outward by the powerful force that came from the side and rushed in another direction.

Wei Yanwu drew his sword and slashed horizontally, adding even more force.

It's unrealistic to wrestle with such a massive behemoth, at least Lin Lu feels she can't do it right now. However, changing its path is the same, as long as it doesn't affect the Golden Tree.

"This shell is very strong."

Wei Yanwu stared at the sword mark imprinted on the carapace, his brows furrowing slightly.

He wielded the Crimson Sky Slash, a weapon capable of easily slicing through steel, but it only left a shallow mark on the shell, failing to penetrate the interior.

"Mon3tr!"

A burst of dark light erupted, and pitch-black particles rose from behind Kal'tsit, condensing into a massive body. The crystalline behemoth reappeared, only this time its body had shrunk considerably, standing about three meters tall, and seemed rather small compared to the Originium Bug.

"Something inside the ruins may have been leaked, Lin Lu. We need to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Kal'tsit, could this be the product of some underground experiments in your Tower of Babel?"

Lin Lu looked at her suspiciously. She had just been beaten to a pulp, and now she was offering to help. It all seemed very strange. He didn't believe that this thing had nothing to do with the Tower of Babel.

"What can we do with a giant Originium worm we research?"

Kal'tsit asked a question in return, and commanded Mon3tr to step forward to block the giant Originium bug. Her head, covered by a huge hood, swayed back and forth, looking quite comical. It was unclear what her mindset was, but she did not remove the hood.

"We can talk about this later."

You think it's not true just because you say so? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?

Lin Lu thought to herself, but she knew that now was not the time for internal strife. No matter what, she had to kill this big bug first.

"You seem to know something about it? Tell me how we can break through this hard shell."

"If the guess is correct, then its outer shell should be at least one meter thick. Breaking it open by brute force is very inefficient. But even if it has fused with that thing, its essence is still that of an Originium Bug. Its internal organs are soft and easily damaged. Trying to attack the inside directly might be effective."

What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?

After hearing her explanation, Lin Lu rolled her eyes, feeling it was all nonsense. Even a fool could see that this thing had an absurdly thick hard shell, so attacking the inside would definitely be more effective. The key question was how to attack it.

Wait, an internal attack?

In a flash of inspiration, Lin Lu suddenly thought of a prayer. If it were possible to attack the inside directly through the defenses... nothing could be more useful than this. It was a terrible curse that even demigods and gods could hardly resist!

"Old Wei, Kal'tsit, Little Mo, Fiameta, buy me some time!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Lu placed the Holy Mark in his palm and slowly closed his eyes. To maximize its power, even with the support of the Golden Tree, he needed to guide it for a period of time. High-level Dragon Offering Prayer was not something that could be used easily.

"clear."

Wei Yanwu and the others glanced over and nodded in unison. Fiameta, who was huddled under the golden tree, also opened her weapon case and slung the large gun over her shoulder.

The crystal behemoth Mon3tr waved its segmented limbs to hold back the enormous dragon head, Wei Yanwu's eyes were slightly closed, and the Crimson Sky Sword Qi surged out like waves, while Mostima used magic to continuously restrict the movement of the Originium Bug.

Click~

Fiameta took out a special bullet, chambered it, and a burst of fire erupted instantly!
