Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 542: Neanderthals Shall Never Be Slaves

"Retreat back into the fortress!"

Li Wei roared. At this time, all directions were once again shrouded by the Blue Frost Mist, making it completely impossible to see clearly. Staying in the open area would make them sitting ducks.

Although he also didn't know how this Arcane Giant Zombie could precisely release this kind of long-range magic after losing its sanity.

In a short time, the Guard Legion rapidly retreated back into the main building of Fierzway Fortress. This massive fortress was much sturdier than the city walls.

The city walls were only Level 3, but the fortress was Level 6.

Because it was of the capital city level, the first five levels corresponded to level five camps, and level six was a capital city, but usually called a Tier-1 Capital, though capital cities also had five levels.

A capital-level fortress usually possessed defense capabilities that could withstand the bombardment of a Six-Star Stone Giant.

Now that the Armored Arcane Giant Zombie had been killed, to tell the truth, Li Wei wasn't too worried about an already injured Arcane Giant Zombie.

The moment the entire Guard Legion entered the fortress, he even wanted to leave the legion and go kill the opponent a few kilometers away.

This thought was too tempting.But he immediately killed it.

Because as long as he dared to leave the position of Legion Commander for more than three minutes, these five hundred men of the Guard Legion would freeze to death alive; there was no third possibility.

The 70% Magic Immunity brought absolutely more than just miracles; it was a lifeline.

What's more, it seemed that Arcane Giant Zombie was mobilizing the power of the Great Frost. Even though Li Wei and the others had already retreated back to Fierzway Fortress, the feeling of coldness still followed like a shadow. The Blue Frost Mist all around became denser and denser. They seeped through the solid walls and gathered inside the fortress.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder at this moment.

Everyone looked at the others around them as if they were little blue men.

No, wait, there was also the Fourth-Tier Blood Plague spreading.

"Take out all the fire crystals and begin full charging immediately. Everyone stay away from the walls. Shieldmen on the outside, Spearmen next, Swordsmen and Archers in the center!"

Li Wei shouted loudly, simultaneously taking out his Frost Ranger Bow. In such an environment, such weather, it should have been the time for his Frost Ranger Bow to unleash its divine might, because he felt he could already easily release Frost Bolts equivalent to the third sequence. Unfortunately, the enemy was completely unafraid of ice magic.

His perception was being weakened, having dropped from its original 25 points down to 18 points. It was now very difficult for him to observe the situation outside, so he had to look out through a gap in the fortress's blocked doors and windows.

As a result of this look, he didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he just happened to see a massive, blue-black eyeball looking in from outside the gap.

Caught off guard, Li Wei shivered in his heart, almost scared into a cold sweat.

This feeling was too bizarre. For a moment, he even felt like his soul was going to be sucked away.

But fortunately, he had 18 points of Collective Sanity. After being startled by this, his sanity only temporarily dropped by 2 points!

"Crack, crack!"

Bizarre sounds came from within the fortress walls. The Blue Frost Mist formed thick blue crystals on the walls. The power of the ice magic was strengthening, and the chill became incomparably rampant. Li Wei forcibly restrained the second shudder he was about to make and rapidly retreated.

Here, all the guards had placed blocks of fire crystals on the outside. They were arranged into the shape of a fireplace, and inside were sticks of Three-Star Charcoal rapidly burning and charging, using this to resist the increasingly fierce Blue Frost Mist.

At this moment, even the 70% Magic Immunity couldn't withstand it.

They had to rely entirely on the fire crystals to shield them, or else Li Wei's stored and carried resources couldn't be even a little bit less.

Just like that, they forcibly stayed in a stalemate for about an hour. After Li Wei's side had burned through almost three thousand kilograms of Three-Star Charcoal, the concentration of the Blue Frost Mist suddenly dropped. Following closely, heavy footsteps sounded again. That injured and escaped Arcane Giant Zombie had returned.

Moreover, if Li Wei guessed correctly, its condition should have basically recovered. Of the three most important Life Cores, at least two had recovered.

It was very angry, and it was impatient.

At this time, Li Wei quickly went to a gap in the fortress doors and windows. First, he kicked away the massive stone blocking it, then activated Magic-Piercing Perception. His perception, which had originally fallen to 18, instantly surged to 28 points.

This allowed his senses to successfully break through the barrier of the Blue Frost Mist and lock onto that Arcane Giant Zombie.

However, almost at the instant of locking on, his sanity dropped by 2 points again, becoming 14 points, and even his 28 perception dropped to 26 points.

Fortunately, this was almost the limit of the bizarre magic released by the opponent!

And it didn't affect the result in the slightest.

At this moment, Li Wei rapidly swapped to a precious, singular Six-Star Magic-Bane Arrow. His five destinies rapidly resonated, and the divine artifact Frost Ranger Bow resonated synchronously. Even the Blue Frost Mist from all directions was attracted and gathered, rapidly pouring into the bow body while also pouring into that Six-Star Magic-Bane Arrow.

This time, Li Wei even used one Truth Particle and one Slaughter Particle, charging for a full two seconds before firing.

This was absolutely the most powerful attack he had unleashed since advancing to 4th-Tier Legendary.

Once this strike hit, it might not kill the Arcane Giant Zombie, but one of its Life Cores could forget about ever recovering again!

Because this was True Damage.

That Arcane Giant Zombie seemed to sense danger. In the first instance, it once again skillfully blinked backwards for a few thousand meters, attempting to dodge in this manner.

But it was useless. The moment it was locked onto, the result was already destined.

A fletched arrow of this level had the exact same effect within a few thousand meters.

With a single arrow, one of its important Life Cores was exploded once again.

The Truth Particle took effect, True Damage was formed, and this Life Core was completely annihilated, unable to ever recover.

Furthermore, it should have also been accompanied by other damage. It could be said that at this moment, this Arcane Giant Zombie's overall strength had completely plummeted to 50%.

If it weren't for the effects brought by the Great Frost, if it weren't for the Guard Legion needing protection, it would have been as easy as flipping a palm for Li Wei to kill it.

This was the gold standard of a 4th-Tier Legendary Radiant Ranger.

Unfortunately, right now he could only helplessly watch that Arcane Giant Zombie's figure completely disappear, breaking the lock-on.

Li Wei sighed secretly. He was just about to use the massive stone to block the doors and windows again when he saw that Arcane Giant Zombie actually sprinting back again. At a distance of two thousand meters away from the fortress, which was where the collapsed city walls were, and also a distance where Li Wei would find it difficult to sense its Life Cores, it didn't know what magic it cast. Anyway, it was an extremely costly magic. In the next second, a massive golden ring formed out of thin air, like some kind of portal.

Through this massive golden ring, one could clearly see majestic, spectacular, and ancient buildings on the other side, seemingly some kind of divine temple. And there were a large number of Neanderthals kneeling and praying there, but obviously, these Neans were also very bewildered: we are praying right now, why did this appear?

After being stunned for about a second, that Arcane Giant Zombie roared out a sequence of syllables that were completely unintelligible. Those Neanderthals then woke up as if from a dream, immediately shouting and yelling, swarming to step into the portal formed by the golden ring.

In a short time, over a thousand Neanderthals actually rushed through the portal. Their faces bore expressions of fanatical conversion, as if little milk dogs had finally found their owner, or little chicks had finally found the mother hen.

There was nothing that could describe their excitement and thrill. Their god had finally appeared.

A few seconds later, this golden ring portal closed directly, even resulting in a batch of over fifty Nean soldiers being decapitated and separated from their heads.

No, this wasn't an operational error, but the Arcane Giant Zombie doing it intentionally. Because it started eating. That's right, it was very weak, it needed to eat. You Neanderthal slaves, isn't it perfectly justified to eat some of your food?

What's more, what use was explaining, because the Neans who rushed over suddenly found themselves placed in a world of ice and snow, in extreme freezing cold.

Neanderthals and Sapiens were both carbon-based lifeforms; the difference wasn't large. It made no sense that Sapiens would freeze to death but Neans wouldn't!

At this moment of life and death, the Neans were also very experienced. The Mage class led the team, and other classes gathered around the Mages, preparing to charge towards Fierzway Fortress in the first instance. This response strategy was excellent.

Unfortunately, that Arcane Giant Zombie directly released the Fourth-Tier Blood Plague, or whatever it was. Li Wei watched helplessly as those over a thousand Neans rapidly fell into chaos, as if their sanity had been absorbed, and in a few breaths, they began to turn into Magic Zombies.

Even Li Wei couldn't understand this bewildering behavior.

But they were all Magic Zombies now. Even if they retained some instincts and could release some magic, they were still Magic Zombies.

All absurdity could be understood.

The Neanderthals finally awakened right before death, becoming furious!

What's more, the former most devout servants of the Orson Empire, servants willing to sacrifice their flesh and blood to the great master, now had hardened wings, had already begun baring fangs and claws, were already vindicated and proud. How could the Neanderthals, who considered themselves the orthodox inheritors of the Orson Empire, endure such an insult!

Especially when you're a f*cking Magic Zombie!

"F*ck it up!"

The Nean soldiers swarmed forward, beginning to crazily attack that Arcane Giant Zombie, but it had almost no effect. The closer they got to the Giant Zombie, the faster the Fourth-Tier Blood Plague flared up...

Only two 4th-Tier Legendary Neanderthal leaders, unaffected by the Blood Plague, saw that the situation was bad and lunged towards Fierzway Fortress.

After all, in this kind of weather, staying out in the open was almost equivalent to death.

However, what awaited them was Li Wei's fatal strike. They were not Scout classes, and under the influence of the Blue Frost Mist, they couldn't even detect the situation inside the fortress.

In an instant, they were turned into two Seven-Star Gold Cards and Purple Cards.

Li Wei hadn't even expected this kind of unexpected harvest.

When he rapidly rushed out of the fortress to retrieve them, the remaining Neanderthals had basically all turned into Magic Zombies. As for that Arcane Giant Zombie, after devouring over two hundred Neans, its condition actually bizarrely recovered.

"Siege!"

This time, this Arcane Giant Zombie actually shouted a sentence in Sapiens language. It had even recovered a slight bit of sanity, because it spoke this sentence for Li Wei to hear.

Subsequently, it plunged into the Blue Frost Mist again, hiding its figure, while the Magic Zombies transformed from the remaining over eight hundred Neans howled and charged over!

The siege battle was on the verge of breaking out!

The good news was, Magic Zombies couldn't perform technical sieges.

The bad news was, that Arcane Giant Zombie was too difficult to deal with, and it could perform long-range attacks.
