Chapter 498: Hunting-Ashes
Lin Yuan’s Source Sand was the link that created the insect army’s positional warfare.
The initially flexible formation was now even more flexible, and they would be able to get into position swiftly.
It would also change the visible section of the insect army into a type of surprise attack.
Both Liu Jie and Lin Yuan halted their movements and smiled at each other. Lin Yuan turned to smile at Zhou Luo and said, “We can begin.”
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie sat astride the Lava Dragon Lizard’s back while Zhou Luo rode at the front of the Lava Dragon Lizard.
The 10-meter-long Lava Dragon Lizard spread its legs and bolted toward the dimensional hub.
On the Lava Dragon Lizard’s back, Lin Yuan noticed it was much more enjoyable to ride land feys than flying feys.
In the sky, there were only clouds for as far as the eye could see.
However, riding a fey that was charging about on land allowed him to take in the ephemeral scenery around, which was an incomparable delight.
Inside the evolving Class 3 dimensional rift was interminable ocean water that emanated a distinct salty redolence.
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and inhaled deeply to calm his nerves.
He knew that a battle to the death was imminent.
Blood would be shed, and deaths were unavoidable.
Despite Lin Yuan having taken out his Master’s Extreme Token and showing it to Liu Jie and Zhou Luo as a means of boosting morale, he could not repeat the action flippantly.
No one knew whether the enemy camp scoped out by Liu Jie’s Hurricane Owlet Moths was hiding a greater peril.
Moreover, during the evolution of the dimensional rift, an obstacle of turbulence would be formed outside the dimensional hub’s inner layer’s source-type lifeforms.
During the evolution of the Class 3 dimensional rift into Class 4, the dimensional obstacle at the surface would be as strong as Diamond quality.
Either Zhou Luo or Liu Jie would be able to break through.
However, if the dimensional rift’s evolution was to Class 5, the dimensional obstacle at the surface could only be broken by the power of Suzerain and above.
In order to prevent the dimensional rift’s evolution, breaking the dimensional obstacle was the minimum requirement.
Thus, Lin Yuan could not show his trump card until they arrived at the dimensional hub.
Lin Yuan kept this notion to himself, but the other two men were well aware.
Zhou Luo was about to speak, but he hesitated and turned to look at Lin Yuan and Liu Jie. He noticed the resolute expressions on their faces.
Zhou Luo smirked and turned back to stroke his buddy, the Lava Dragon Lizard.
His own gaze became determined as a grin spread across his face. He seemed to have come to some sort of decision.
Lin Yuan’s expression suddenly tensed, and he sensed the report coming from the Source Sand.
“Prepare for battle. The enemy is here,” he said.
...
Five source-type items were at the dimensional hub. The aura they emitted generated dimensional ripples at the dimensional hub.
These dimensional ripples widened the doorway linking to the water world.
Next to the five pieces of source-type items was an opaque glowing mass of rainbow light.
A transparent light yellow shell covered the glowing mass.
There were also remnants of shattered transparent light yellow pieces near the five pieces of source-type items.
Clearly, there used to be a transparent light yellow shell around the five pieces of source-type items as well, but it was broken.
A well-put-together man wearing an outfit adorned with many gemstones stood next to the dimensional hub.
His hair was grey, his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were a dull gray that was completely devoid of the spark of life.
Nonetheless, flecks of light occasionally streaked past the man’s eyes, giving him a less lifeless deportment. Instead, they made him look extremely treacherous.
A tall man with a head of short dark green hair walked up to stand by the gray-haired man’s side.
“Lord Hunting-Ashes, I’ve already sent out the people you designated as per your instructions. But those people—”
The tall, dark green-haired man was not done speaking when he was interrupted by the gray-haired man.
“Just sent them out as I instructed. Have the rest of the people finished drinking the medicine I instructed you to distribute?” He impatiently snapped.
The dark green-haired man trembled and hastily replied, “Yes, Lord Hunting-Ashes. They’re all done drinking.”
The gray-haired man touched the waist of his attire, namely the black jewels that were about the size of quail eggs.
“Did you drink the medicine too?” he asked.
The dark green-haired man gnashed his teeth as sweat dripped down his face. He anxiously pulled out a bottle and gulped down the gray liquid contents.
The gray-haired man extended his arm and patted the other man’s face.
“Ten minutes later, bring me the people who drank the medicine,” he ordered.
The dark green-haired man retreated hurriedly and proceeded to carry out the gray-haired man’s order.
The gray-haired man stood at the same spot for about five minutes.
The gray-haired man kept his gaze fixed on the evolving Class 3 dimensional hub during those five minutes. His face split into a grotesque smile.
“The evolving dimensional rift is completely cut off from the outside space. I don’t need to listen to Lord Seventh Page War’s orders. The stupid crow is dead now, which means so are the three king-class experts under it. No issue. I, Hunting-Ashes, shall accomplish Lord Seventh Page War’s final order,” he murmured under his breath.
The grey-haired man gently clapped his hands, and a gray fly appeared nearby.
At that same time, a screen seemed to have disappeared around the area, revealing a pot of thriving thorn apple.
