I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 258: 257 Heading to the Ruins!

Translator: 549690339

“Roar~!”

A earth-shattering roar erupted, followed by the appearance of a massive red dragon with enormous wings in the Red Earth region at the center.

This was a creature with a body like a dinosaur, but with an additional pair of wings.

Its dragon form was very different from that of Long Aotian’s transformation. Even though they were both called dragons, the difference was quite significant.

“Just a winged reptile daring to call itself a dragon…”

In the crowd, a young man with dragon horns commented under his breath.

He was a descendant of the Dragon Clan. Every time Big Dragon appeared, he would make a critique, informing everyone that this was not a dragon!

But there was no choice, the name Big Dragon had been passed down from ages ago. No one knew who originally came up with this name but they continued to call it so.

“Kill!”

“Charge!”

The moment Big Dragon appeared, without a shred of hesitation, everyone, be it from the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, charged into battle at once.

“Du Gang, don’t be afraid, follow us…”

Yin Deyu spoke these words with false bravery. Then, as if they were bodyguards, five people surrounded Du Gang, bringing him along as they charged toward Big Dragon.

“Swoosh!” “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”

Bursts of colorful attacks were launched at Big Dragon by the crowd without cease.

Each person’s attack, at its weakest, had reached the level of one hundred Naers. The strongest even reached two hundred Naers!

“Big Dragon inherently has strong resistance, almost immune to attacks less than one hundred Naers. To defeat Big Dragon, one must be a Controller…”

As Yin Deyu rushed forward, he explained to Du Gang with a laugh, “Moreover, even with three to five Controllers, they can’t overcome Big Dragon. This creature’s vitality is extremely robust. The hundreds of Controllers present must join forces for their attacks to have an effect…”

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

As each Controller unleashed their attack, blasts of colorful energy waves hit Big Dragon. To everyone’s astonishment, attacks that would have obliterated anyone else only caused its scales to vibrate.

Big Dragon was referred to as a dragon not only because it resembled a dinosaur, but more importantly, it possessed dragon scales that only members of the Dragon Clan had. That was why it was referred to as Big Dragon.

The Big Dragon in front of them had strong defenses. It could withstand the attack of hundreds of people without dying. However, its attack power was not particularly strong. Each swipe of its dragon claws was equivalent to the force of a hundred Naer’s divine power. Even the flames it spewed from its mouth only yielded a hundred Naer’s of divine power.

Such a level of attack was challenging to resist for the Controllers, but it was not deadly. With some sacrifices, they could hold on.

“Aim for the vital parts!”

Someone shouted, but even if he hadn’t, everyone else was doing the same.

They focused their attacks on Big Dragon’s eyes, neck, and tail. Each successful attack evoked a roar from Big Dragon.

“Roar!”

As the attacks became more frequent, Big Dragon’s roars grew more agonizing, but it was to no avail. Its wounds continued to deepen, and blood gushed out like it was free.

Among the crowd, Du Gang remained calm. He did not attack and since Yin Deyu and the others shielded him, nobody criticized him.

Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds!

With each passing second, the damage endured by Big Dragon increased exponentially, and its vitality continuously decreased.

“Roar!”

Finally, at the tenth-second mark, a gash was completely torn open in Big Dragon’s tail. It emitted a shriek, no longer able to bear the pain, and died.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The moment it died, its enormous body disintegrated into rays of white light, which randomly fell on the red earth in front of them.

“Charge!”

The Controllers who were observing the battle from a distance ran forward like frenzied gold diggers.

“Grab it quickly!”

Without needing Yin Deyu’s reminder, Du Gang transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting towards the Red Earth on the ground.

Many essences were dropped by the Big Dragon, with countless rays of light, meaning it could drop thousands of essences at once. If a single person absorbed these, they could increase their divine power by a thousand Naers.

However, in reality, these essences were shared among hundreds of people, and they didn’t get much. Stronger teams could grab more, and the weaker ones might not get any.

“Swish, swish!” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Du Gang acted swiftly, grasping two of the nearest essences right off the bat. When he tried to grab a third, he realised almost all the essences around him had been collected by others. Over a thousand essences were snatched in practically an instant.

“Kill them!”

In the instantaneous aftermath of the scramble, members of both the human and demon clans began to fight. In this moment, everyone was after the essences!

Essences couldn’t be stored in one’s internal world, which means all essences held by every person could possibly be snatched away by others.

Each essence represents one Naer of divine power, and this is a form of power that can directly increase an individual’s strength. No one would think their divine power is too much.

Most of the time, when two people have similar divine power techniques, the one with greater divine power has the potential to win.

To ordinary people, the limit of divine power techniques cannot be broken, but the divine power’s limit can always increase. Their only way of increasing their strength is winning by quantity.

“Kill!”

“Ulala!”

At this moment, the human and demon clans clashed instantly. Apart from the Controller teams, some Operator teams also joined the fight.

The Red Earth region instantly became chaotic, as two sides with different strengths engaged in battle.

Even though the Operator teams were more numerous and often teamed up against a Controller team, in reality, the Operator teams suffered the most casualties.

At this moment, there were many people targeting Du Gang, mainly small Demon Clan Operator teams. However, seeing Yin Deyu’s defensive stance, they ultimately backed down.

Yin Deyu and his group wanted to completely destroy Du Gang, including his divinity, so naturally, they didn’t want him to simply lose his physical form.

“Let’s retreat!”

After Yin Deyu and his group held off two batches of Demon Clan Operator teams, they quickly began to retreat with Du Gang towards the outskirts.

Other small teams also acted similarly, especially those who had obtained essences.

It couldn’t be helped, the battleground was just too crowded. If they stayed entangled, it was very likely that they wouldn’t be able to protect the essences in their hands.

After all, whether it be Controllers or Operators, everyone was merely a First Tribulation divine spirit. Differences in divine power techniques were not vast. If many Demon Clan Operator teams worked together, even the Controller teams wouldn’t last long.

“We’re just going to leave like this?”

Du Gang was somewhat dissatisfied. He only managed to get two essences, which means he could only increase his divine power by two Naers…

Although Yin Deyu and his team had a total of over ten essences, compared to the thousands dropped by the Big Dragon, it was too little!!

Yin Deyu nodded, “Let’s go. Controller teams aren’t easy prey. The environment here is too terrible, and even if we win against them, we might be taken advantage of by others…”

They had been fighting here for a very long time and had long figured out how to maximize their interests.

Staying might give them more essences, but it also risked losing essences that they had in their possession. Therefore, instead of staying, they chose to retreat immediately. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Soon, their six-man group left the Big Dragon pit, flying towards where the human clan was located.

Not long after they departed, numerous teams quietly followed suit, leaving no trace as they tagged along.

These teams exchanged glances but said nothing, as everything was understood implicitly.

They were all there for the same goal given by the demonic realm.

Outside, ten million Divine Crystals can only buy a kilogram of raw material, which is only enough to increase one’s divine power by a thousand Naers.

A thousand Naers of divine power, although not viewed as much in the Abyss, can slowly accumulated to the upper limit of 6000 Naers with some time spent on the first level.

However, ten million Divine Crystals outside the Abyss are worth more than just a thousand Naers of divine power.

Compared to its minuscule conversion to divine power, the value of ten million Divine Crystals is unimaginable — it can exchange for Top-Level True God artifacts, and even some weaker Celestial God artifacts.

Not only that, if one takes out ten million Divine Crystals and adds a bit of background, it’s enough to have their clan help exchange for a sage technique or even a Supreme Technique from another clan.

Of course, this type of exchange is limited to the Enlightenment in Dreams technique, it can only be learned personally and can’t be taught to others, but it’s still tremendously tempting.

No one could resist the temptation of ten million Divine Crystals, especially since Du Gang’s power, in their view, wasn’t worth much!

In just a short minute, nearly a hundred teams in the vicinity of the Big Dragon Pit broke away, including some controller teams and some manipulator teams. Without exception, they all chased after the direction where Du Gang and his team had fled.

They left very nonchalantly, but the consequences of their actions were quite severe.

Originally, the battlefield at the Big Dragon Pit had achieved a balance after so many years of fighting, with both sides basically keeping up a steady fight and slowly retreating from the battlefield.

However, the sudden departure of five to six hundred people caused a significant impact, and the human side instantly became weaker, retreating in defeat.

Many teams of humans, who had been facing just one Demon Clan team, were surrounded at this moment, outnumbered and outflanked.

“Damn, what’s going on?”

Somewhat confused, someone shouted out after realizing they were surrounded, “Retreat quickly!”

This situation, was also noticed by those on the Demon Clan’s side.

The Demon Clan highly values hierarchy. The leading team, with a man sporting a single horn, brightened at this scene and started shouting aloud.

“Chase them!”

He didn’t care whether or not it was a trap sprang by the human side. Even if it was, it wouldn’t affect him; but if it wasn’t, the essence he could obtain this time would double.

After weighing the pros and cons, naturally, pursuing and killing became a priority.

Thus, the Demon Clan mounted a full-scale operation, the small teams who were preparing to retreat, also changed directions and charged towards the human teams.

“Damn, what’s going on? How did we end up with fewer people?”

“I don’t know, it seems like a lot of teams have withdrawn early…”

The human teams present felt helpless. They were suddenly at a disadvantage. The usual evenly matched battles and gradual dispersal didn’t happen. Instead, the Demon Clan attacked them.

“Hold on, retreat while fighting!”

“For the greater good…”

Strong controller teams shouted out loud. They were tightly entangled in the battle at this moment and couldn’t escape. They didn’t want this balance to be broken, which might put them in a dangerous situation.

But the outcome was often the opposite of their wishes.

At this moment, the human teams in the periphery saw the hordes of Demon Clan teams and without saying anything else, they turned around and fled.

The spirit of “better you die than me” was fully demonstrated at this point. Hundreds of outer teams, without looking back, started to run away.

“Damn it!”

A human team in the center of the battlefield was furious when they saw this. They wished they could rush up and give those guys a good beating, then educate them on the difference between internal and external conflicts.

But there was nothing they could do about it. “Every man for himself” is an unstoppable force in these situations, one can only bear it.

“Run, I’ll cover you, go!”

A top-level controller team couldn’t hold on any longer. The tank on their team immediately made a decision, passed the essence crystal in his hand to his teammates, and took up the fight himself.

“Fall back, fall back!”

The other four teammates, seeing this, didn’t hesitate. Years of familiarity allowed them to act without the need for words, immediately turning around and running.

They were also irritated. Since the people on the outskirts had run, there was no point in them holding on in the center; it was better to escape too.

They did not flee, yet both the humans and demons, who had understood each other for many years, did not form the idea of massacring just one side.

Seeing this, the temporary leader of the Demon Clan’s side instantly had his eyes shine brightly, and excitedly shouted, “Everyone chase, wipe out the human clan today!”

“Hoorah!”

With a loud roar, all the demons became excited, charging wildly like cats that smelled fish.

“Shit!”

“Zhang Yiniao, you damn legend, just running like this?!”

A top-level powerhouse team watched the fleeing team in the distance and roared in rage.

Zhang Yiniao glanced back at them, shrugged his shoulders, and ran even more cheerfully.

The people on the side of the top-level powerhouse team, after seeing this scene, were all helpless.

“Run, we can’t hold on anymore!”

With the strongest Controller team giving up, the entire defensive line completely collapsed.

The human side had completely lost its resistance, everyone started to turn around and flee, almost no one stopped to defend anymore.

At this moment, defending would surely lead to death, because if you don’t run, you would be swallowed up by the Demon Clan army and still die.

“Damn, how did the balance get broken, even leading to a rout!”

Among the fleeing squads, there were those who had fought on the front lines and knew some military theory, they were extremely helpless now.

In fact, the difference in the remaining power of both sides is actually not large, it’s about eight to nine, such a power comparison, in a war, is almost equivalent to evenly matched.

Even, some elite could win with fewer numbers, pulling off counterattacks.

But in front of these scattered people, it had led to a rout. The biggest reason was the lack of unity, each person had their own plans.

“What a disgrace, in so many years, there has never been a situation like this at the Big Dragon Pit…”

Someone was full of indignation, the balance between the two parties is not a balance set by rules, but a balance of strength, it represents the current or contemporary power of their two sides.

Previously, for a long time, no one has heard about the Big Dragon Pit being suppressed by the Demon Clan. The last time it happened, you had to go back to a hundred years ago, but now, their current batch of people encountered it.

“It’s all because of the first wave of people, who knows what they were up to, they ran so many…”

“Yeah, I don’t know where those guys ran off to…”

……

“Where are we going now? This doesn’t seem to be the direction back to land…”

Du Gang, surrounded by five people in the center, didn’t seem to have any doubts about them, and was still in a curious state.

Yin Deyu said cheerfully, “Let’s go to the ruins first, the environment there is complex, like a labyrinth, it’s best suited for cultivation, let’s absorb the essence we’ve obtained there before deciding…”

However, he was privately communicating with the other four people.

“A lot of people are following us from behind, shake them off in the ruins…”

What they were going to do after all was something unspeakable. Although everyone knew very well that we had all accepted the mission from the Demon Realm, but everyone was profit-driven, who knows if someone would record and send this footage to the Ancient City?

These guys, who were willing to attack their own people for Divine Crystals, meant that they could also sell those pictures for Divine Crystals.

So, to be safe, Yin Deyu and others decided to go to the Ruins, shake off the others, and then kill Du Gang.

After all, Du Gang was not weak, possessing the power of a Controller, hard to kill physically, the most important thing was his divine being, they had to catch him off guard and kill him in one shot, otherwise if he escaped, they would be helpless.

Soon, the group of people sprinted towards the Ruins, and after about half an hour of running, they reached the Ruins.

The ruins had a very large area of land, there was only one entrance, and basically anyone could only enter from the entrance because there were restrictions in the ruins that limited people’s jumping and flying abilities.

“Where are we going to cultivate?”

As soon as Du Gang spoke, Yin Deyu smiled and said, “Follow us, we’ve got a secret base in the ruins, it’s safe to decide…..”

After saying this, without any pause, he took the lead towards the ruins.

Upon hearing this, Du Gang turned his head and took a glance, noticing that the four men behind him were looking at him expressionlessly, he returned a smile, and then followed along.

Once they had entered the labyrinth-like ruins, over one hundred teams, around five hundred people, appeared at the entrance of the ruins.

Everyone looked at each other, nobody said a word, as if the others were just like air.

However, one of the powerhouse teams, as if talking to themselves, said a sentence, “Let’s see who gets lucky!”

“Let’s go in!”

Following that, someone softly uttered a sentence, and the over five hundred people on-site, as if they had received an order, quickly entered the ruins.
