Chapter 2255

"Obviously it can… it's just not exactly easy either."

"As long as it can fight…"

"This is actually the first time I've felt that being a small lord isn't bad. Otherwise, having to face an enemy of this level would basically be sending me to my death."

"Same here. Whatever captain business, I think being a county-level squad leader sounds pretty good."

"No way, I'm a little scared."

The lords whispered among themselves.

The vast majority of these people were village-level and town-level lords; today had truly shattered their worldview.

It's perfectly normal to be afraid.

Zhao Chi also felt deeply shaken.

Zhao Chi had seen a Titan once before.

It was during the outbreak of the Anti-Noble War, when the noble Zhao Quan had summoned a Titan.

It was also thanks to that Titan that Zhao Quan managed to withdraw unscathed from the rebel army's encirclement.

Zhao Chi had also witnessed a Titan's power firsthand; fortunately, at the time it had been on their side.

But now, three enormous Storm Titans blocked the path ahead, and the pressure they exuded was truly overwhelming.

The road ahead was cut off.

"I knew it… not a single one can be kept."

Jiang Chen sighed, swiftly broke away from the group, and charged forward.

All the lords looked over.

"Wow, Captain Jiang is going in!"

"That's our captain for you!"

"Isn't he the vice-captain?"

"Would you shut your damn mouth? A vice-captain is still a captain!"

"Can Captain Jiang beat the Titans?"

"Of course he's not fighting them himself—he's summoning his subordinates."

"Oh, right."

Jiang Chen charged a great distance, but there was still a considerable gap between him and the Titans.

He pulled five giant eggs the size of watermelons from his system space and, without hesitation, poured spiritual power into them.

Soon, the five giant eggs glowed faintly, and cracks appeared on two of the shells.

Jiang Chen hurled them with all his might.

Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!

The eggshells burst open in midair.

Five giraffes landed on the ground.

G…giraffes??

Are you kidding me?

Zhao Chi rubbed Su Qin's eyes and looked again carefully.

Sure enough, he had seen wrong.

They weren't giraffes at all—they were Nine-Headed Lizards.

They were just too young right now, still in their juvenile form, so their bodies were lighter in color, and they only had one long lizard head.

At first glance, they did look a bit like giraffes.

But if they were already this big in their juvenile form, they must be pretty massive as adults, right?

Just as he was thinking this, the five Nine-Headed Lizards began to grow rapidly.

Their bodies turned dark brown, their skin covered in oily hard shells, and their necks began to split.

One head split into three heads.

The three heads split into nine heads.

Like nine enormous snake heads.

In just over ten seconds, the Nine-Headed Lizards finished growing, reaching a massive size of forty meters.

But their main feature was their long necks.

All in all, they were still somewhat smaller than the Titans.

But there were more of them—five.

Five against three—at least they had the numbers advantage.

Though such an advantage was fragile in the face of raw power.

Zhao Chi watched and sighed.

If he weren't experiencing it firsthand, it would be truly hard to imagine what it felt like to see such enormous creatures appear before his eyes.

Today had truly been an eye-opener.

"Hiss!!!"

All forty-five heads of the five Nine-Headed Lizards hissed at once.

The next moment, they charged at the Storm Titans.

The three Storm Titans coldly regarded the enormous Nine-Headed Lizards as if looking at five chickens, their eyes full of contempt.

They gathered lightning in both hands and charged forward, shaking the earth beneath them.

Zhao Chi felt as if the world had become one giant war drum.

The earth was the drumhead.

The Nine-Headed Lizard and the Titan were the drumsticks.

Every step they took produced a deafening, muffled boom.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!

It felt as if the blood throughout his entire body was pounding non-stop, as if it were boiling.

Jiang Chen had already rushed back: "Move fast, the Nine-Headed Lizard can't hold the Titan, we don't have much time."

The other lords could see it too.

The Storm Titan and the Blazing Phoenix shared some similarities.

Both were half-elemental, half-flesh creatures.

And both could wield the corresponding elemental power.

But that Hell Nine-Headed Lizard belonged to the category of living creatures; what made it so formidable was still its enormous size, and the fact that its nine heads could attack simultaneously.

But compared with the Titan, it really fell short by quite a margin.

Jiang Chen had already rejoined the team.

Yet the lords still had not moved.

The captains were holding an urgent discussion.

The problem now was that they had no idea which way to go.

It was literally surrounded on all sides.

To the north.

Seven Bone Dragons still remained, but the last Mountain Giant had finally fallen, scattering into a heap of boulders, and in the end had not managed to take down even one more.

The Giant Tree began to engage the Bone Dragons.

The Bone Dragons no longer launched bone spears; instead they continuously spewed purple mist, and the Giant Tree was completely enveloped within it.

The Giant Tree was also a living creature.

The purple mist was extremely effective against it.

Vast numbers of green leaves withered and fell; what had once been as lush as a parasol canopy was now nothing but bare, leafless branches.

Countless tender buds kept sprouting on the branches, but it was useless — the moment they emerged, they instantly withered away.

The great numbers of vines shot out were also softened by the purple mist, drooping limply to the ground.

The entire Giant Tree was slowly dying.

To the south.

Were the Nine-Headed Lizard and the Titan; the two sides still had some distance between them, but they would soon clash as well.

Everyone knew the Nine-Headed Lizard could not beat the Titan — it was still just buying time.
