Chapter 256: Betrayal

【Crawler】

【Rank: Hero】

【Tier: Saint】

【Description: A troop unit from "Lu Cang", the Crawler】

【Description 2: Transformed from a Saint-tier species, the Echo Bird.】

"Lu Ao! What play are you still watching?"

"Hah?"

There were four Saint-tier lords in total who had arrived.

Three men and one woman.

One Qing Feng lord, Qing Yuan, had entered 【Within Cangcheng】.

One Sky Giant, Lord Aoshan, had fallen into a slump and was currently in a state of confusion, his mind unclear.

One Echo lord, Yin Luan, was seriously attacking the Blood Curtain, while at the same time, the Saint-tier troop Echo Birds were constantly dodging Lu Cang's attacks.

One, the Binding Origin Lu Ao, was completely slacking off.

Lu Ao summoned a protective device and was loafing around at the very rear of the three lords.

No support, and not a word was spoken.

He was the lord who ruled the southern region.

In the south, three Saints stood in a tripartite balance.

And his territory happened to be sandwiched right between the Qing Feng lord and the Echo lord.

These two Saints were like a sandwich, pinning him in the middle.

And Qing Feng and Echo could still expand outward.

He had not a single inch of room for expansion.

If he did not eliminate either of these two.

He could only stand still in place.

So, support?

He wished these two lords would die sooner rather than later.

Just now, when he saw that Echo Bird hit by the Gene Mutation Tower.

Let alone wanting to help.

He even wanted to send out his own troops to pin that Echo Bird down directly.

So that the beam from the Gene Mutation Tower could hit more accurately.

And take out that Echo Bird a bit sooner.

Are you kidding? Support your own enemy?

Whoosh!

However, in the next instant, he sensed something was wrong.

A feeling of crisis struck!

He immediately pulled out a scroll.

In the next instant, he teleported to a distance.

And he looked at the place where he had just been.

The ground was instantly sliced into countless small pieces!

"Th-th-th-thank... thank, thank thank thank... Nature's grace. 687"

That Saint-tier Crawler extended a long, thin tongue from its mouthparts.

It emitted human speech.

But clearly, its pronunciation was not standard.

This large monster, possessing six arms, held a giant white bird in its hands.

This giant bird was no other creature.

It was precisely the Echo lord's troop unit 【Echo Bird】.

And that large monster was nothing other than the 【Crawler】.

There is a drawback to the Gene Mutation Tower's mutation.

That is, it can only mutate into a monster of equivalent size.

This gene changes completely at random.

Randomly selected from among Lu Cang's troop units.

Even if it turned into a Self-Destruct Worm.

It would be a Self-Destruct Worm of the Echo Bird's size.

Therefore, this Crawler is much larger than a normal Crawler.

It can be called a Giant Crawler.

The Saint-tier Crawler's speed is extremely fast; in that very instant, it had already launched an attack.

The Echo lord had not yet reacted.

Another Echo Bird was already grasped in its hand.

【Sound Roar Blast】

Buzz—

With its body seized, the Echo Bird immediately opened its mouth and roared at the Crawler.

A sound wave erupted toward the crawler's head!

Bang!

The crawler's head was seen oozing thin threads of blood.

Blood also oozed from the crawler's mouthparts.

The Saint-grade crawler still possessed no sound-wave-type defense.

And the Screamer, being within the city, could not resonate that far.

Thus, this Saint-grade crawler had to endure that strike head-on.

However, while the crawler endured that strike,

the Echo Bird was likewise held fast, unable to move.

Within the blood curtain, a beam of light flared!
