Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 518 - 529: Zhao Lin’s Excitement!
Chapter 518: Chapter 529: Zhao Lin’s Excitement!
In the deep trench to the side of the road ahead, an entirely new race had suddenly appeared, unbeknownst to anyone.
One by one, the strangely shaped Snake-men quickly emerged from the mountain trench, forming several rows as they fixated on the massive Corpse Tide.
Their form resembled gigantic deep green snakes with human-like bodies, standing at least ten feet tall.
Their entire bodies were covered in densely packed, deep green snake scales, each about the size of a palm, fitting tightly onto their bodies.
On their snake-like heads was a pair of elongated eyes, similar to serpent pupils, with a gaze as cold as ice.
In addition, they possessed arms similar to humans and thick serpent tails that swung behind them propelling them forward.
Their probable nesting grounds were in the path of the Corpse Tide Army, causing thousands of these hidden Snake-men to be forced out.
At that moment, these menacing Snake-men were clearly apprehensive of the strength of the Corpse Tide Army, or perhaps intimidated by its sheer scale.
Therefore, even though thousands of Snake-men had come, they hesitated to make a move against the vast Corpse Tide Army.
For the moment, both sides were locked in a standoff along the roadside.
Everything around remained silent, as a thick air of foreboding spread across the sky.
“Dad, these are Snake-men. The Snake-man Clan is a cold-blooded, bloodthirsty race capable of controlling snake swarms, and they see humans as food. They attempt to hunt any creature other than themselves!
The reason they’re holding back is likely because they’re wary of our strength!”
Ji Ruxue observed the Snake-man Clan ahead and explained to the two people beside her.
The Snake-men’s power, if deprived of their snake swarm control, is actually not that strong.
However, in battle, with the help of snake swarms, the Snake-man Clan can unleash tremendously enhanced combat power.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded.
Little Qiqi had mentioned this race to him on past occasions when introducing different tribes.
The Snake-man Clan, like the Kobolds, reside in caves.
However, Kobolds usually live in mines, while Snake-men prefer damp caves, where it’s best to have a flowing water source.
“Gibberish ~~~~”
At this moment, a Snake-man at the front of the line, standing at thirteen feet tall, slowly slithered a few steps forward, fixing its cold gaze on the Corpse Tide Army, then opened its mouth and babbled extensively, gesturing with its hands.
It seemed to be trying to convey something!
But the Snake-man Clan’s language was very difficult to understand, and its gestures were strange. Even with Lu Chuan racking his brain, he couldn’t figure out what they wanted.
However, this guy was the only seventh-tier existence among the Snake-men, which made Lu Chuan regard him with a bit more seriousness.
“Dad, I think it wants to express that we should immediately leave this area and not proceed through here.”
Ji Ruxue took a glance at that Snake-man, then turned to Lu Chuan and said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan merely shook his head without saying anything, the meaning was clear.
Foreign races were enemies to begin with, encountering them meant eradicating them, and they still wanted him to make way? Such audacity!
Upon seeing the Corpse Tide Army remain unmoving, the Snake-men’s side couldn’t hold back. In an instant, they were agitated, their original fear of the Corpse Tide Army quickly dissipating, they let out a series of hisses.
“Hiss hiss ~”
Thousands of Snake-men issued hissing sounds, and the next moment.
Rumbling ~ A deafening roar ensued.
From the rear of the mountain trench, all sorts of long snakes surged out like a sea of snakes, advancing toward the Corpse Tide.
Within this snake tide, thousands upon thousands of colossal snakes opened their mouths, aiming to devour the Corpse Puppets within the Corpse Tide Army.
“Zhao Lin, that seventh-tier Snake-man is yours to handle, the rest, Little Qiqi and I will take on.”
Lu Chuan cast a serene glance at Zhao Lin and said.
“No problem! Charge!”
Zhao Lin, who had already been eager, responded and then directly unsheathed her battle knife, charging towards the seventh-tier Snake-man hiding at the back.
Boom!
In an instant, a bright blue blade energy swept toward the seventh-tier Snake-man.
“Roar!”
Upon seeing Zhao Lin charging forward, the seventh-tier Snake-man roared furiously, its right leg enveloped in Spiritual Light stomping fiercely into the ground.
“Roar!”
Instantly, a towering mud serpent, nine stories high, raised its head, bellowing in anger at the approaching blade energy, its massive mud tail lifted high before crashing down violently.
Boom!
The thick mud tail struck the bright blue blade energy, shattering it instantly, causing a resounding explosive noise.
Then, the shockwave from the battle knocked both Zhao Lin and the giant mud serpent continuously backward.
“Charge!”
Zhao Lin shouted with determination, rushing back into the fray, and the intense collisions continued ringing out.
Seeing the snake swarm along with a multitude of Snake-men advancing, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch, joining the fray one after another.
Ji Ruxue’s expression turned stern as the ferocious Telekinesis River surged forth instantaneously.
Instantly, Telekinesis Needles emerged from the river, converging upon it in dense packs like a school of sardines encountering predators, darting back and forth rapidly.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh ~
The Telekinesis Needles, like a curtain of rain, shot towards the snake tide and thousands of Snake-men, descending like a massive net.
The rain of Telekinesis Needles sliced through the sky.
The next moment, the momentum of the advancing giant snakes abruptly halted; once pierced by the Telekinesis Needles, their bodies twisted, leaving bloody holes that bled profusely.
With just one strike, massive giant snakes met their demise, stalling the surging snake tide.
The extensive casualties instilled fear in the surviving giant snakes, hesitating to press forward.
At the same time, the Snake-men behind the snake swarm let out a miserable wail as their bodies were pierced through, collapsing powerlessly.
Ji Ruxue’s relentless Telekinesis Needles, seemingly endless, quickly inflicted heavy casualties upon the Snake-men’s side.
Rumbling~
Under Lu Chuan’s command, the Corpse Tide Army swept towards the snake swarm and Snake-men, overwhelming them completely.
On the battlefield, whenever a giant snake had just feasted on a Corpse Puppet, hundreds or even thousands of Corpse Puppets would swarm and tear the giant snake apart.
In the past, the snake swarm relied on numbers to gain the upper hand, but now facing the Corpse Tide Army, their advantage vanished instantly.
As time ticked by, the battle unfolded in a one-sided manner.
“Haha, weaklings!”
Amidst the battle, Zhao Lin was exhilarated by the situation on the battlefield, launching another strike.
It was her first time gaining such an advantage in a battle against a foreign race.
Lu Chuan and his men were truly formidable.
Partnering with Lu Chuan turned out to be a wise choice, offering hope for the annihilation of the foreign race!
