Chapter 118: Utterly Nauseating

Just as the stone was about to touch the ground and make a sound,

Gurgle!

Like it was thrown into water.

The air rippled in a circle.

The stone vanished instantly.

As expected,

Zhang Cheng's suspicion grew more certain.

"Without a doubt, this is definitely the work of the Beautiful Alliance."

"Tell everyone, under no circumstances cross the warning line; even if you accidentally enter, do not run around recklessly."

"This entrance requires energy to maintain; it will occasionally fail, at which point one can naturally return to the real world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng's phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Zhou Zhengtian.

A photograph.

Upon opening it,

It was 096!

But this time it was clearer.

In the image, 096 hugged its knees with both hands, curled up beneath a large tree, weeping, its voice like an infant's wail.

Combined with the surrounding tranquil primeval forest, the scene appeared especially eerie.

Still, its face could not be made out.

Studying the creature in the photo, Zhang Cheng's expression became somewhat hesitant,

"This guy, is it really 096?"

The creature in the photo is ninety percent similar to 096, whether in build or appearance.

But the only difference is,

It bears dark blue stripes on its body, which deepen and fade with the rise and fall of its sobs.

I vaguely recall that 096 had no such strange markings.

Zhang Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air; it seems his earlier conclusion was a bit hasty.

This creature might be a being with habits and abilities similar to those of 096.

The world is vast,

containing everything imaginable.

The mysteries are gradually increasing.

Guardianship Battle.

Second match, Dragon Nation vs. Beautiful Alliance,

will begin in five minutes!

This match will not only be broadcast globally,

but also features a virtual stand, allowing a global audience of 100,000 to watch up close.

It is more exciting, and naturally also more dangerous.

Summoned creatures attacking spectators is nothing new.

Before the match, Charlie gazed at the Dragon Nation's spectator seats, wearing a somewhat mocking smile.

He picked up the phone and dialed Qin Meng's number.

After the call was connected,

Charlie said in a mocking tone:

"Captain Qin, you look in good shape—did you receive my gift?"

"A gift?"

Qin Meng immediately understood; it referred to the Silent Hill entrance that had appeared on Dragon Nation's new territory!

This vile thing has already harmed dozens of Dragon Nation people.

If not for lucky escapes, they would likely have perished in Silent Hill!

"Just wait and see; everything you've done to Dragon Nation will be paid for after this match!"

Qin Meng's gaze turned icy.

Seeing this, Charlie's deep-seated predilection was greatly satisfied.

He replied in a sarcastic tone:

"Hahaha, Captain Qin, don't get angry; these are all within the Beautiful Alliance's duties."

"Don't forget, now is a matter of life and death."

"Launching some summoned creature attacks is also to be expected."

"Furthermore, let you know in advance: if the Beautiful Alliance wins, Dragon Nation will cease to exist in this world."

"Moreover, the Dragon Nation people will also cease to exist!!!"

"What!"

Qin Meng's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

Charlie's intention is quite clear.

In this guardianship battle, if Dragon Nation loses, not only will it lose its territory, but its people will also fall victim to its schemes.

These cruel Beautiful Alliance people are extreme egoists.

Anything unfavorable to them must be eliminated swiftly.

They regard themselves as the world's masters, and all other nations should crawl at their feet.

It's as if arrogance is carved into their bones!

No,

Not only is it arrogance,

It's outright extreme arrogance!

"Just the dying struggles of nonsense," Qin Meng firmly believed, Dragon Nation will surely win!

"Nonsense?"

"Let me tell you the truth, before the match I already used ten million lives as a sacrifice."

"Their fear and anger have merged with Silent Ridge; even if Dragon Nation is strong, they are absolutely not our opponent."

Charlie curled the corner of his mouth with a cruel smile.

His gaze was unusually ruthless; ten million lives were merely cold numbers in his eyes.

Saying it out loud was surprisingly easy.

Qin Meng sucked in a cold breath; ten million lives were thus sacrificed like that,

"You're truly a cruel madman; your crimes cannot be atoned for even by death!"

Death?

Charlie laughed loudly:

"Rest assured, someone like me won't die even if the sky falls."

"You Dragon Nation have a saying: good people don't live long, bad people live a thousand years—meaning people like me are meant to live a thousand years!"

Damn it!

Qin Meng shouted in anger, this guy actually used Dragon Nation's proverb to mock Dragon Nation.

Truly disgusting to the extreme!

"Moreover, those ten million victims were all supporters of your Dragon Nation."

"Therefore, I killed them, not only avoiding blame but actually gaining widespread support!"

Charlie's smile grew even more wild: "Now, as long as I win the Guardian War, everything will be over."

"Dragon Nation, your good days are over."

"Only our Beautiful Nation is the world's hegemon!"

His voice was loud,

especially when he spoke those final words.

A group of Beautiful Alliance members immediately responded.

They were full of vigor, raising flags and loudly shouting slogans like "Beautiful Alliance will win, Dragon Nation will lose."

At this moment,

Zhang Cheng gazed toward the Beautiful Alliance direction, red light flickering in the depths of his eyes,

"So, the remaining Beautiful Alliance members should all die, right?"

In an instant!

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The Beautiful Alliance people also noticed the existence of this problem.

All Beautiful Alliance members who supported Dragon Nation are already gone.

What remains are only those who do not support Dragon Nation.

If they lose, they will undoubtedly be unable to escape the fate of death, not even a chance to beg for mercy!

"Have we already been trapped in a dead end?" someone suddenly asked.

As soon as this was said, others' expressions also became complex.

Seeing the momentum about to collapse, Zhang Cheng reversed the situation with a single sentence.

Seeing this, Charlie appeared somewhat flustered and shouted loudly at the Beautiful Alliance audience:

"Everyone, what are you hesitating about?"

"In this defense battle, how could our Beautiful Alliance possibly lose?"

"We will surely win!"

"We must not only win, but win triumphantly, grandly, defeating Dragon Nation with an overwhelming posture!"

"By then, everything Dragon Nation currently possesses will belong to our Beautiful Nation!"

Upon hearing this, the audience's morale instantly rekindled.

"Exactly! Everyone, definitely don't be frightened by the Dragon Nation athlete's words—that's merely his dying last words!"

"We who possess Silent Ridge, even Dragon Nation cannot match us!"

"Once this defense battle ends, our Beautiful Alliance will surely shine again!"

At this moment, every Beautiful Alliance audience member harbors hostility toward Dragon Nation.

They fundamentally refuse to acknowledge Dragon Nation's Summoned Creature power.

In their view,

the Beautiful Alliance is the world's strong.

"Everyone's emotions are running high!"

The Mysterious Judge appeared at the right moment.

Sensing the gunpowder smell lingering between Dragon Nation and the Beautiful Alliance, the Mysterious Judge also became excited,

"Looks like this match will be another exciting showdown!"

"Now, let me introduce everyone."

"The Beautiful Alliance's combat Summoned Creature is the X-rank Silent Hill!"

"Silent Hill, a hot hit in global games and film, is extremely popular on Lan Xing for its eerie visuals and terrifying vibe; thus, as a Summoned Creature incarnation, it wields unmatched power!"

"As for Dragon Nation's combat Summoned Creature..."

The Mysterious Judge's gaze turned to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward, his eyes firm,

"The Summoned Creature I will summon is—"

"Miao Frontier..."

These two words had just left his mouth.

The Dragon Nation audience instantly felt energized—Miao Frontier, Gu witchcraft?

Could it refer to the Miao Frontier shamaness recorded in ancient texts, who masters poison insects as her specialty and is versed in summoning witchcraft?

Just thinking of this, a chill ran through everyone's bodies; the Dragon Nation audience's hairs stood on end, goosebumps erupting instantly!

However,

Zhang Cheng, however, gave a faint smile,

"Miao Frontier shamaness? No, no, no—what I will summon is not merely a shamaness skilled at controlling poison insects and knowing a bit of witchcraft."

"What I will summon is the first to achieve immortal status through Gu witchcraft—the Miao Frontier, Gu Immortal!"

"Rank... unknown!"

Boom—

A bolt of blood-colored lightning split the sky.

The surrounding birds were frightened and scattered in flight.

Beneath the ground came a violent tremor; looking closer, countless toxic creatures unexpectedly gathered together.

These toxic creatures were varied—lizards, venomous snakes, or poisonous insects—their bodies piled layer upon layer.

They formed a strange and wondrous tower of flesh and blood.

It stood several hundred meters tall.

And at the tower's summit,

stood a figure of transcendent, otherworldly bearing.

Her eyes were clear as a mountain spring, her skin white and delicate, seemingly breakable at a breath.

Her hair fell like a waterfall to her waist, and she wore attire unique to the Miao people.
