Chapter 1276: Evil Energy Contamination

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Thinking of the suspected variable, Ka.n.u.s’ brain started to ache again.

The Great Horn Army’s recruitment and reorganization were going smoothly.

Once the reorganization was completed, the Wolf Clan battle group that had lost its leader would obey his orders.

The number of troops in his hands was above that of the Lion Clan, Tiger Clan, Minotaurs, and Wild Boar Clan. He had the largest number of troops in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

Of course, he was still lacking in high-end combat strength.

After all, Picturesque Orchid Lake was a land where the strong ruled, and he did not like to bully the weak with numbers.

However, this problem would be greatly alleviated if he cooperated with those guys from the Fang Mountains.

The only flaw was, the Ancient Dream Saintess had temporarily escaped his control.

Moreover, the Ancient Dream Saintess seemed to have benefited from this disaster. She possessed even greater spirit power, which could invade his brain.

However, it was not something that could not be remedied.

No one knew better than “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s what a terrible price one had to pay for overloading one’s brain and breaking through the limit of one’s spirit power.

The Ancient Dream Saintess’ brain was already malformed. The blood vessels in her brain were in a mess and extremely fragile.

If she continued to burn her brain at all costs, she might die from a brain explosion soon.

Even if she was lucky enough to survive, the situation was already set in stone. It was not something that she, a puppet, whom he had propped up himself, could turn the tide.

However, was the Ancient Dream Saintes really the one who had been spying on him in the dark?

Why did he sense a vaguely familiar yet unfamiliar presence, like… an old friend whom he had known for a long time?

A soft “kacha” sound came from ahead.

It was the sound of an angry lion warrior breaking a dead branch with his foot.

The angry lion warrior was a vanguard sent by the Lion King.

He was responsible for scouting the environment at the front of the exploration team.

He was less than ten arms away from the Wolf King’s hiding spot.

If he took a few more steps forward, he would step on the Wolf King’s head.

However, “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s’ heartbeat and breathing did not change at all because of it.

Even his eyeb.a.l.l.s did not move a single inch.

With a calm heart, he looked at the furious lion warrior who swung his saber around in the dense forest.

The wilted branches, vines, and weeds that had not been cut down for three thousand years immediately bit down on his saber.

“D*mn it!” the furious lion warrior cursed in a low voice.

He was worried that the remains of the evil puppets might be sleeping in the depths of the dense forest, but he did not dare to release too much totem power to destroy them.

Moreover, along the way, they had pa.s.sed through many dangerous areas that “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s had already identified beforehand.

Although they had lost a few experts, including the Lion King’s son, and had all been swept up by the s.p.a.ce storm, it was a natural disaster, not a war crime.

Apart from the s.p.a.ce storm, they had not awakened half of the evil energy puppet remains, nor encountered any enemies.

Seeing that victory was right before them, the fierce lion warriors gradually lowered their guard.

The lion warrior pulled out his saber from between the branches and vines, spat on it, and searched in another direction.

Behind him, the exploration team of the Lion King, Horn of Destruction, had half a foot in the ambush circle.

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s’ eyes became calm and focused again, like icicles that were frozen inch by inch.

After taking a deep breath that was ten times slower than usual, he threw the mysterious spy to the back of his mind.

In the end, it was too late to think about that problem now.

The arrow was on the bow, and he had no choice but to shoot it.

He never had a choice since that inexplicably long mysterious night more than ten years ago.

Everything he had gained that night helped him get to where he was today. It helped him seize every opportunity and avoid every risk. It had helped him go from a homeless corpse-eating dog to a worthy leader of the Wolf Clan. It had helped him turn the once unattainable Lion King and Tiger King into preys in a trap.

Was it still possible for the seemingly unreachable throne of the War Chief to fall to another clan?

“No, it’s absolutely impossible!

“Besides me, no one else is qualified to be the War Chief!

“And no one else has a way to save Picturesque Orchid Lake!

“This is the mission that the ancestral spirit has given me!”

Perhaps, the moment that had been meticulously planned for more than ten years was about to arrive.

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s could sense his nerve endings trembling slightly.

However, he quickly controlled every nerve, every strand of muscle, and every strand of wolf hair in his body.

Furthermore, he sent hormones that he had crazily secreted into his brain, turning them into fuel for his brain to operate at an extremely high speed.

The last deduction was still fine.

One-third of the Lion King’s exploration team had already stepped into the ambush zone.

In order to avoid waking up the remnants of the evil energy puppets nearby, most of them did not have their totem armors or use their totem power to check the situation around them.

In other words, their vision, hearing, touch, and combat ability were all restricted to an extremely low level.

Although the Lion King and his capable subordinates could be armed to the teeth in the blink of an eye, the Tiger King was still able to defeat the Lion King in that time.

It was enough for the Tiger King to bring them the last pleasant surprise of their lives with his Violent Blade.

In order to achieve this, the Tiger King had learned about the specific personnel configuration of the Lion King’s exploration team from Ka.n.u.s, and he had gone over it more than ten times.

He had also a.s.signed an attack team for each of the Lion King’s subordinates and rehea.r.s.ed the scenario multiple times to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Of course, the Tiger King never thought that a fatal trap would be hidden in the Wolf King’s intelligence report, which he had repeated more than ten times with his perfect acting skills.

The so-called “absolute safety amidst the sound of thunder” would definitely turn into “a mishap, where both sides suffered heavy losses.”

However, “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s did not think that the Tiger King would suspect him.

After all, he was only the Lion King’s puppet.

It was normal for a puppet to not know its master’s Trump card.

Furthermore…

“After this battle, between the Lion King and the Tiger King, what will the living one look like?”

The corners of “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s’ mouth curled into a smile that only he could see.

At that moment, half of Lion King’s exploration team had already stepped into the ambush circle.

The Lion King, Horn of Destruction, who was in the middle of the team, was only half a step away from the ambush circle.

This Gold Clan chief, who was burning like a ball of golden flames, was also not wearing his totem armor. He was neither interested nor suspicious of everything around him. He was just frowning. It was unknown whether he was still immersed in the pain of losing his son, or he was thinking about the test he would encounter after entering the Holy Mountain temple.

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s could already smell the blood that was about to be spilled.

He heard the screams, the sound of flesh tearing, and the sound of bones breaking that were about to reverberate in his skull.

Yet, right then…

The Lion King suddenly stopped.

Every hair on his body stood up like golden needles.

His entire body suddenly expanded, like a golden hedgehog that was magnified more than ten times.

“How…”

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s widened his eyes first.

Then, his pupils constricted to their limits.

He already knew why the Lion King would be on guard half a step before entering the ambush circle.

It was because he heard it too.

He heard the ear-piercing hissing sound of an evil energy puppet’s rusted limbs operating.

He heard the sound of towering trees burning and collapsing.

There was also a series of deafening explosions.

There were also weird sounds mixed in.

Then, “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s saw that something that should not have appeared there in the dense forest on the left side of the encirclement, which he had meticulously designed for more than ten years.

Three evil energy puppet remains were shaking.

The three evil energy puppets were all c.r.a.ppy with dull crystals, whose magical runes had almost been worn down by the pa.s.sage of time.

The intense movement earlier had caused their already incomplete limbs to bear more wear and tear. By the time they reached this place, they were crawling and staggering. Their parts were flying out, and they did not have much combat ability left.

The three evil energy puppets seemed to have realized the problem themselves.

Before their last few metal parts broke and collapsed, they simply sat in the dense forest and lay down.

However, the threat of the evil energy puppets did not diminish because of the loss of mobility.

Instead, it increased to the maximum because of a terrifying possibility.

“No…”

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s roared in his heart right then.

The originally dull and crack-filled crystals embedded in the three evil energy puppets were like fireworks that exploded all their energy in an instant, emitting an astonishing brilliance.

It was akin to a pale flood that instantly pa.s.sed through the weeds, bushes, towering trees, snakes, insects, rats, and ants, as well as the wolves and tigers who were hiding perfectly in the dense forest.

‘Evil energy contamination!’

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s screamed internally.

It was another way that the Turan orcs described the Holy Light’s self destruction.

Whether it was Holy Light self-destruction or evil energy contamination, the tactic of destroying everything together was always the most troublesome one.

Fortunately, the three low-level evil energy puppets did not have much spirit energy stored in them to begin with.

Since the Angels of Strength were lurking in the same swamp, most of the spirit energy naturally generated in heaven and on earth had been absorbed by them. Therefore, the puppets had not acc.u.mulated much spirit energy in the past three thousand years.

The evil energy contamination was a little too much.

At the very least, it did not cause substantial damage to the fully-armed wolves and tigers beyond the sound, light, and electricity pollution.

The problem was, with the three self-detonated evil energy puppets as the center, the area within dozens of arms was swept by the shock wave. Dozens of towering trees were cut in half or even uprooted, while a large number of weeds and shrubs were burned to ashes. Even the thick and dense humus surged like waves.

As a result, the ambushers who had perfectly blended with the environment were all exposed in front of the Lion King!
