Chapter 173

The shrill buzzing alarm sound suddenly tore through the tranquility of the wizard camp, interrupting Jie Ming's further in-depth research on the lava giant.

Less than ten days after the landing battle, the alarm was sounded, this interval was much shorter than expected.

Intelligence center sent news that the lava giant Kalamosi and the snow monster king Agelong, these two Tier 6 living beings, once again gathered a huge army, like an unstoppable flood, launching a general attack toward the wizard camp!

The site selection of the wizard camp had strategic considerations from the beginning.

It was deliberately built at the junction of the Flame-Sun Realm and the Frost-Dark Realm, on the edge of that huge mountain range permeated with chaotic energy fields.

Such a position meant that once the wizards started a war, they would face the predicament of being attacked from both sides by two hostile races.

However, this was not an accident, but a layout deliberately made by the wizard high-level.

Just like the consistent practice of wizards: only by giving the other side hope, letting the indigenous people mistakenly think there is an opportunity, will they launch attacks continuously, putting their own troops into the meat grinder preset by the wizards, thereby achieving the purpose of consuming their origin.

But during this time, the wizards were not idle either.

Not only did they strengthen the camp's defense system, upgrading the temporary fortifications built in the early stage to rune walls and energy barriers.

More importantly, the combat wizards completely replenished the cannon fodder consumed in the landing battle, and even greatly increased it!

The biochemical beast gene bank and puppet factory reserved by the wizards were at full firepower, producing several times more cannon fodder legions than before in a short time.

These cold tools surged toward the front of the camp like a tide, ready to fight at any time.

Compared to the short encounter battle in the sky before, this time the power of the two monster races of the Flame-Frost Plane was even more astonishing.

After all, fighting in the sky required professional powerhouses or aerial units, which itself constrained their performance.

And at this moment, fighting on solid ground was what the two races were best at.

Their legions surged like a mountain call and a sea howl, the earth trembled, fire and frost intertwined, and even the distant sky was dyed with a doomsday-like color by their respective elemental energies.

This time, besides having more elite generals and elite legions with stronger strength than before the landing battle, each race also had an extra few million ordinary armies at the Tier 1 peak living being level!

The lava giant legion was composed of ordinary lava warriors, they were huge, with astonishing strength, holding burning giant hammers and rock shields, stepping on the scorching earth, emitting deafening roars.

The snow monster legion was composed of giant frost dogs and snow monster hunters wearing fur, they shuttled silently in the ice and snow, claws flashing, cold and deadly.

And, this was not the limit!

Through intelligence sent back by wizards who went deep into the enemy area, there were still endless monsters rushing toward here from further away.

Lava giants surged out from the lava tunnels underground, and snow monsters emerged from the depths of the glaciers, endless, like an ant tide.

Adding the two hostile races together, there were probably hundreds of millions of reserve troops!

This meant that what the wizards faced was a local military force that was unimaginably huge, even if they were not as good as wizards in individual quality, their numerical advantage could not be ignored!

"Everyone! Prepare for battle!" Wizard Augustine's cold voice resounded throughout the camp, he stood at the top of the command tower, laws surging around him, appearing particularly small yet incomparably powerful.

Once the order was given, the wizard camp instantly turned into an operating war machine.

Those golems cast from metal and bone, and biochemical beasts fused from countless remains of other-world creatures, emitted silent or low roars.

They lined up in two neat rows, braving the lava giant's charge and the snow monster's arrow rain, rushing out without hesitation.

They had no fear, no retreat, only preset instructions—charge, consume, until destruction.

The flood of flesh and blood and steel collided heavily with the storm of lava and frost!

Boom!

The huge collision sound instantly ignited the battlefield!

Dense explosions continued one after another at the front of the defense line, high-temperature magma and bone-chilling ice shards splashed everywhere, corrosive acid and highly toxic ice debris mixed together, forming a purgatory of death.

Lava giants waved their huge rock fists, bombarding the biochemical beasts and golems, every attack accompanied by the splashing of magma, tearing flesh and blood, smashing steel.

However, the internal cores of the golems were still flickering, and the broken remains of biochemical beasts were also wriggling rapidly, they did not fear death, even if their limbs were broken, they still tried their best to hug the enemy, detonating the last power in their bodies.

On the other side, the snow monster army shuttled like ghosts in the ice fog.

Their movements were agile and silent, the ice crystal bowstrings in their hands were fully drawn, and the whistling ice arrows were as dense as raindrops.

Every ice arrow had powerful penetrating power, which could easily pierce the wizard cannon fodder's energy shield.

And those snow monster warriors with strong physiques waved their claws and ice axes, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the wizard's flesh-and-blood giant deformities.

Ice blades and bone spurs collided, emitting the sound of gold and iron clashing, blood plasma and white ice crystals mixed on the battlefield.

Combat wizards also revealed their power at this moment.

They stood behind the second line of defense, casting various powerful spells, providing long-range support.

Elemental energy surged in the air, wizardry runes intertwined into a net, and thick energy beams pierced the sky.

Every hit could trigger a small explosion.

However, the monster army was huge in number, and the battle line was extremely long, even if the wizards outputted with all their strength, they could only maintain the stability of the battle line and could not push back.

For a time, the situation was deadlocked like this.

Just when wizards and monster legions were engaged in a bloody tug-of-war on the front line of the camp, deep in the hinterland of the lava giant race, in that area where magma rolled and volcanoes stood like forests, anomalies occurred quietly.

Three seemingly ordinary active volcanoes became hubs located in the core earth veins.

At this moment, at their tops, which originally only emitted faint thick smoke, they began to emit a strange crimson light.

Countless lava giants, not knowing how much energy they spent, quietly changed the flow direction of the surrounding earth vein magma.

They gathered the earth vein magma containing pure fire elements and earth power like rivers to the bottom of these three volcanoes, performing crazy charging for them.

A suffocatingly huge elemental energy was condensing terrifyingly inside these three volcanoes.

This was the strategic armament of the lava giant race!

It was a powerful weapon they secretly developed in the long war with the snow monster race, capable of changing the local battlefield environment!

As enough energy was filled, the energy fluctuations inside the three volcanoes reached the extreme.

The next moment, accompanied by three muffled roars, three incomparably thick crimson light beams rushed into the sky like three burning war spears, directly bombarding the area where the wizards and monster legions were engaged in bloody slaughter!

The three light beams drew perfect parabolas in the air, accurately falling into the center of the battlefield, and then almost at the same time, roared and spread!

A visible halo like ripples, mixed with terrifying high temperature, suddenly swept outward with the three landing points as the center.

The temperature of the entire battlefield soared in a straight line in an instant, rising to a suffocating thousand degrees Celsius!

Just this sudden extreme high temperature caused some caught-off-guard wizard cannon fodder and monsters of the Frost-Dark Realm to suffer devastating heavy damage!

A portion of biochemical beasts that were not good at durability and the shells of some golems instantly became scorched and curled under the thousand-degree high temperature, and the internal energy cores rapidly overloaded.

Many directly emitted wails, emitted green smoke, and then collapsed to the ground.

Those snow monsters that could not withstand high temperatures emitted miserable screams.

Their frost bodies rapidly melted and evaporated under the high temperature, turning into black liquid, and many directly turned into a pool of blood.

The air was instantly filled with a scorched smell like roasted meat and the irritating smell of sulfur.

What was even more desperate was that the desolate and pitch-black ground at the junction of the Flame-Sun Realm and the Frost-Dark Realm suddenly cracked under the baking of high temperature!

Large swaths of scorching magma surged out from deep underground, like cracked wounds, turning the battlefield into a sea of flowing magma!

In such an extreme environment, the originally suppressed lava giants were like fish in water!

They emitted roars of ecstasy.

The scorching high temperature and flowing magma not only did not hurt them, but became the source of their power.

Their bodies suddenly expanded under this high temperature, and the lava blood flowing on their body surface became more scorching and viscous.

Some lava giants even directly evolved into a pure liquid lava form, shuttling freely in the magma, as if integrated with the earth.

Their body tissues absorbed the heat and magma in the surrounding environment, and their strength significantly enhanced in a short period of time!

For a time, the originally evenly matched battle situation suddenly changed!

The lava giant's frenzy swept over, cooperating with the magma surging from underground, almost without any effort, pushing the wizard cannon fodder's battle line back by several kilometers!

The defense of the wizard side began to show large-scale shaking.

At the very back of the battle line, the lava giant Kalamosi was shrouded in a scorching lava storm: "Hahahaha!!! That's it! Let those guys in the back charge quickly, continue to release attacks!"

His huge body bathed in the three red rays of light shot from the center of the earth, appearing even taller and more terrifying.

He commanded the lava giants under his command, letting them continue to charge for the three strategic volcanoes, ensuring that the battlefield advantage could continue to expand.

Kalamosi looked at the temporary defeat of the wizard legion and the ugly wails of the snow monsters under the high temperature, his eyes full of complacency.

He felt incomparably proud of his idea that this move could both severely damage those damn "white-haired monsters" and defeat the foreign invaders.

However, at the moment when this complacency reached its peak, suddenly, his entire huge body vibrated violently!

This was not an external attack, but a warning sign originating from biological instinct, like the most dangerous premonition.

His keen intuition as a Tier 6 living being, capable of communicating with the plane origin, was emitting a shrill alarm at this moment.

Kalamosi's biological instinct, which was not keen in the past, felt that at this very moment, a terrifying power was quietly gathering at the center of the battlefield—under that torn space crack!

That power was so powerful that it even made his heart surge with unprecedented trembling.

"What the hell is this?!!"
