N-A-A Chapter 109 Going Up the Mountain
Chapter 109 Going Up the Mountain
With a roar, those beast kings who should have been majestic in the mountains and forests now knelt on the ground, trembling, just like ordinary source energy beasts when facing them.
At the foot of the mountain, on the military camp walls on this side of the peninsula.
Seeing that the beast tide had been barely repelled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the strongest were only level one early-stage mutant beasts. None of the beast kings showed up." General Cui put down his binoculars and signaled for the soldiers to go out and bring back the corpses of the dead mutant beasts.
These are all top-quality foods; with them, the soldiers can quickly recover their fighting strength and sustain continuous combat.
"Something's definitely not right. Something must have happened in the mountains!" The people from the conglomerate alliance said, looking towards the hillside.
"Hmph! Even if something really happened, we can't get through." General Cui said, glancing at them. In his opinion, it was very likely that the scout team composed of people from the conglomerate alliance had done something on the mountain, which caused this abnormal change.
Otherwise, why did their scout teams from the north return, while those from the south disappeared?
"So, where exactly did you go, what place on the mountaintop did you reach, what did you discover, and what did you do!"
I advise you to make things clear, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety!
At the Dragon Kingdom's White Ginseng Mountain base, Wu Ou looked at the three people in front of him, and finally his gaze fell on Park Tae-eun in the middle.
"We really only reached the top of the mountain and saw the Heavenly Crystal Pool!" he said after thinking for a moment.
"We didn't even have time to get closer and observe before we were attacked."
Furthermore, the majestic aura contained in that roar suggests it's no ordinary beast king.
We wanted to send this message back, but who would have thought that we'd run into several beast kings chasing and intercepting us not far from where we were going.
The man next to him added.
"We were indeed being chased all the way, and when we had nowhere to go, we thought of having Tyne unleash his potential and create a 'void' that would allow us to pass through. That's how we ended up in your valley and survived," the woman said.
Park Tae-eun's ability is "void," which is to create a "channel" connecting two points within a certain distance.
Under normal circumstances, the smaller the cavity, the less energy is consumed.
The void that allowed a person to pass through horizontally before consumed all of his source energy, to the point that he doesn't seem to have fully recovered yet.
"So, you finally triggered the ruins' defenses!" Wu Ou sighed, finally figuring out the source of the changes happening on the mountain.
"The defenses of the ruins? Shouldn't those things be inside the ruins?" the woman couldn't help but ask.
"What you're talking about is just the kind of primary ruins from before."
"Didn't you notice that the energy fluctuations emitted by the ruins at Tianjingchi were stronger when they appeared?" Wu Ou glanced at her, then prepared to lead Qiao Yuwei and the others back to the conference room.
Now that we know the situation, we have a targeted solution.
"Wait a minute!" the woman suddenly called out to Wu Ou.
"Is there anything else? We need to find a way to reach the ruins at the top of the mountain. There's no way you can get involved in something like this." Qiao Yuwei looked at her.
"No, of course we don't expect to explore the ruins with you."
However, we want to know what kind of impact those beast kings gathered on the mountaintop will have on the other side. After hearing Wu Ou say this, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Of course it will form a beast tide. I don't know if your defenses can withstand it."
But this is actually good news for us.
"Don't worry, after this is over, you'll have done us a huge favor, and we'll reward you a little." Wu Ou made a "fingertip universe" gesture.
Then, ignoring their reactions, he returned to the conference room with everyone.
"In short, it seems much easier for us to reach the summit now than before."
A few hours later, the final plan was finalized.
After speaking, Commander Liang looked at Wu Ou and the others, "Gentlemen, would you like to act together, or wait until we open the ruins?"
"Let's work together! The beast king guarding the ruins is not someone you can handle right now," Wu Ou said, glancing at Qiao Yuwei beside him. "We need your strength too."
Professor Zhu quickly said, "This won't do, it's too dangerous!"
"Sister Zhu, I am now the strongest person in terms of strength. With the amplification effect of this device, I can exert considerable strength even in actual combat. I won't be unable to protect myself." Qiao Yuwei smiled slightly, very confident.
Professor Zhu looked at the device in her hand and couldn't help but sigh. He then looked at Commander Liang and said, "You all know Xiao Qiao's situation very well. I don't need to say more about what will happen to you if anything happens to her!"
If we successfully extract advanced technology from this site, we can conduct preliminary analysis and research here first!
Upon hearing Professor Zhu's words, Commander Liang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Don't worry, we will definitely send people to protect Dr. Qiao!"
Even if the person at the highest level right now is just a scientist who isn't good at fighting, they can still demonstrate enough intimidation.
The most important point has been "agreed upon," so the rest can naturally be "discussed."
The next day, both sides set off towards the mountainside.
Soon, they arrived at the location where they had killed the brown bear king the day before.
"That's strange, there are even fewer source energy beasts around here." Su Xue and Hu Meng reported their findings after investigating the area.
"The situation up the mountain is probably even worse." Wu Ou couldn't help but look towards the mountaintop. "I'll go check it out first, and wait for my news."
They flew into the sky, heading towards the Heavenly Crystal Pool at the mountaintop.
Turn on the device that detects the source energy reaction and observe the situation in the mountains and forests.
One after another, large and small energy reactions came into view.
"As expected, even in the area near the mountaintop, it's rare to see source energy beasts with level one strength."
Ignoring them, they sped towards the mountaintop area.
The Heavenly Crystal Pool was surrounded by more than twenty beast kings, each stationed in a different area, as if they were on guard duty.
Those following him were all source energy beasts of level one strength.
However, it is clear that the defense is biased towards the peninsula.
In addition, he was certain of one thing: there were definitely more beast kings on the entire White Ginseng Mountain than just these few 'guarding' here.
He witnessed with his own eyes a beast king leading his "team" to "hand over" with another beast king that had returned from the other side.
"Why does it feel like these beast kings are being used as training grounds for the other side? Or is it simply trying to discourage them?" Wu Ou wondered.
Because of the development before the rebirth, neither side found the ruins in the early stages, thus failing to trigger this 'defense mechanism'.
Although there were also beast tides formed by the violent reactions of the source beasts on the mountain, none of them gathered in such large numbers as this.
After all, once they had demonstrated sufficient firepower, those beast kings weren't 'fools' and naturally migrated to distant places.
Even their previous plan largely involved driving away the Source Beasts. They were well aware that they could not completely eliminate them, nor could they possibly eliminate all the Source Beasts on the mountain.
