Chapter 885: Chapter 880 Gathering and Scattering Quicksand, Life and Death Are Impermanent Chapter 885: Chapter 880 Gathering and Scattering Quicksand, Life and Death Are Impermanent Desolate Wall.

The sudden counterattack by the tribes caught everyone off guard, but was quickly accepted by all.

The tribes, after all, were humanity’s enemy, and the reason they were stationed here was to guard against such an occurrence.

“No, it’s not that the tribe has betrayed us, but that they have failed.”

Huangfu Wujiu stared intently at the images transmitted back from the reconnaissance drones and quickly noticed something unusual.

Although these Dead Beasts looked slightly different from the ones he had seen before, it was obvious that they had been corrupted by the Death Virus.

“Activate the Starshield, power up all star attribute weapons, and shoot them down directly!”

As this thought crossed his mind, Huangfu Wujiu immediately gave the order. The four Desolate Walls lit up with dazzling starlight, and the missiles, already on standby, were launched one after another into the midst of the beast horde.

Starlight sparkled, and the bodies of those corrupted Ferocious Beasts exploded, but they were not purified like the others affected by the Death Virus; instead, they turned into wisps of black smoke drifting toward the Desolate Wall.

“All departments, be advised. The enemy differs from what we’ve known. Be ready to switch tactics at any moment!”

Huangfu Wujiu immediately issued new orders, but upon seeing the black smoke drifting over, he suddenly stood up.

“Qi Zhao, I’m handing command over to you; I’m going to have a look outside.”

Qi Zhao was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately tried to persuade him, “The situation outside is unclear, Marshal, you mustn’t just go out like that!”

“It’s precisely because the situation is unclear that I must go out,” replied Huangfu Wujiu with unwavering determination, adding, “Inform the other war zones immediately. I suspect there has been some change in the Death State that we are unaware of. Tell them to be cautious.”

Having said that, Huangfu Wujiu summoned the Fighting God Ape and charged outside.

“Yes, Marshal!”

Qi Zhao saluted in the direction of Huangfu Wujiu and then took his place to continue commanding.

“Communications department, can we contact the other war zones?”

“Barely, the black clouds are disrupting our signals.”

“Never mind that, turn up the frequency and dispatch a messenger team every five minutes. No matter what, we must inform everyone else of the situation here!”

“Yes!”

The communications department immediately sprang into action, as did others in battle, continually adjusting their means of attack.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Wujiu had already arrived outside the city walls.

“These creatures, how do they resemble the Death Avatar described by Celestial Brilliance?”

Huangfu Wujiu frowned slightly. As the Marshal of the Northern Warzone, he was crystal clear about all the information the Federation had gathered about the Death State.

That naturally included the Death Avatar that had been taken away, the Sponsor of Carrion.

“I didn’t expect the God of Death to have not consumed these avatars. I must inform the others of this intelligence as soon as possible.”

Huangfu Wujiu quickly made a judgment and transmitted this intelligence back to the Desolate Wall. Then he swung his long staff and charged at the enemy.

These Dead Beasts had obviously just been transformed, their bodies still fragile, but the black smoke made them a tad more troublesome.

However, Huangfu Wujiu naturally had a way to cope. Clasping the staff with both hands at its center, he spun it rapidly, creating a miniature tornado in front of him, imbued with a golden power that blew the black smoke away into the distance.

Not only that, as Huangfu Wujiu’s speed increased, some Dead Beasts were also sucked into the vortex, ground into mincemeat.

Being a veteran Legend, even though Huangfu Wujiu had not ascended to Myth status, his combat power couldn’t be measured by the standards of ordinary legends.

The legendary Dead Beasts that foolhardily charged in an attempt to kill Huangfu Wujiu proved this very point.

While Huangfu Wujiu was dispelling the Poisonous Mist, a dozen Legendary Dead Beasts surrounded him and launched their attack.

But Huangfu Wujiu didn’t stop. With one hand free, he plucked a few hairs from his head, blew on them lightly, and they transformed into a dozen clones, which met the attackers head-on.

These clones, each with the appearance of an ape, also wielded golden long staffs, moving in unison with Huangfu Wujiu.

It was commonly known that even for the most powerful of beings, a clone was usually much weaker than the original body, and for a legendary Huangfu Wujiu, his clones naturally wouldn’t possess the strength of a legend.

But Huangfu Wujiu’s clones broke this rule.

At the very start of the clash between the Fighting clones and the Legendary Dead Beasts, the clones demonstrated overwhelming strength, seeing through every move of their adversaries and countering them.

Before the Desolate Wall could provide fire support, the Fighting clones had already concluded the battle.

Yet, new enemies were appearing once again.

“Nine-tailed White Fox? Even Mythical Creatures have been corrupted? This must mean that the Sponsor of Carrion is indeed nearby.”

Huangfu Wujiu rapidly surveyed his surroundings but did not find the presence of the Sponsor of Carrion. Instead, it was the tribal myths that should have been allies, each one standing on the opposing side.

“It seems I have no choice but to use that…”

Without hesitation at the sight of five myths that advanced toward him like walking corpses, Huangfu Wujiu immediately pressed the button concealed in his sleeve.

Then, the earth collapsed!

“General Qi, what has happened? Could it be that ferocious beasts have come from beneath the ground?”

The sudden change caused the already highly pressured soldiers to panic, but Qi Zhao revealed a smile.

“Don’t worry, that’s another piece of the Federation’s large-scale war machinery.”

“Another piece of large-scale war machinery?”

“That’s right, the Quicksand… along with the Snare, it became a Super Level war machine of Myth status.”

“Quicksand?”

The soldiers all looked beyond the wall and saw that the originally solid ground had unknowingly turned into a desert, and the Dead Beasts surrounding it had no chance to dodge before being swallowed by the desert.

And then, they completely disappeared.

Afterward, in the astonished eyes of countless soldiers on the wall of desolation, the desert flowed like a river toward the interior of the Death Legion.

Wherever the desert passed, the Dead Beasts were devoured without exception, and the scale of the desert continued to grow.

Upon seeing this, a Mythical Dead Beast immediately took action, spewing out a breath of cold air in an attempt to freeze the Quicksand. Unexpectedly, the Quicksand lifted off the ground and took the form of a giant.

This giant was covered in silver-gray, and when faced with the attack of the Mythical Dead Beast, it didn’t dodge but threw a punch directly.

The punch was plain and unremarkable, yet it easily dispersed the Mythical Dead Beast’s attack and landed squarely on its body.

The Legendary Dead Beast couldn’t dodge in time and was struck head-on by the giant, immediately being sent flying. But in the instant it was hit, its body disintegrated into silver particles that were absorbed into the giant’s body.

Seeing this, the other Mythical Dead Beasts immediately chose to attack from a distance. However, before their attacks came close, the giant broke apart and reverted to the form of Quicksand, evading their blows.

“To gather and disperse like Quicksand, leaving no trace in life or death, I didn’t expect Starlight to create such a powerful war machine in just half a year.”

Watching Quicksand, who single-handedly made all the Mythical Dead Beasts powerless to resist, Huangfu Wujiu suddenly felt sentimental.

Unlike the Snare, a massive machine that flies in the air all year round, Quicksand took a completely different path.

Nanomachines.

In order to boost the Federation’s military power, Wang Chen had scarcely gone out in the past half-year, having devoted himself entirely to the design of Quicksand.

To effectively strike against the Death State, every single nanomachine of Quicksand was made of Star Metal.

This was not the energy-storing type of Star Metal discovered by Bai Qi but, like the Morning Star, it was Star Metal from Beyond the Void.

These nanomachines were commanded by a single spirit of machinery and could absorb any energy to self-replicate. Unless their capacity for dissolution was exceeded, any attack and defense were futile against Quicksand.

Mythical Creatures were no exception!

“Indeed, among those Titled Legends of the past, only I am the most useless…”
Huangfu Wujiu’s face showed a bitter smile, and a trace of sadness flickered through his eyes.

Bubble…

Just then, the sound of a bursting bubble interrupted Huangfu Wujiu’s thoughts. He looked up and saw a massive black sludge creature coming their way.

“Sponsor of Carrion!”

Huangfu Wujiu’s eyes sharpened, and he immediately ordered all armaments on the wall of desolation to fire at the black sludge creature.

But the Star Missiles were unable to Purify the Poisonous Mist carried by the Dead Beasts, let alone the very embodiment of the mist, the Sponsor of Carrion.

The missiles struck the Sponsor of Carrion one by one, but, without exception, they all dissolved upon entering, leaving no trace.

Furthermore, the ground over which the Sponsor of Carrion passed also corroded into a swamp; the desert that had appeared due to Quicksand was transformed into a vast marsh in an instant.

And within that marsh, countless Dead Beasts drenched in poison crawled out and joined the siege.

Seeing this, Huangfu Wujiu blew forth a Death Avatar to meet the enemy, but the wall of desolation was simply too long, and there were far too many enemies. No matter how he defended, there were still Dead Beasts reaching the base of the wall.

The Starshield flickered continuously, annihilating the Dead Beasts, but the Poisonous Mist climbed along the wall.

“Activate all ventilation equipment, we must stop this Poisonous Mist from entering!”

Qi Zhao immediately issued an order, but ordinary wind couldn’t move the Poisonous Mist; they could only watch helplessly as it slowly infiltrated the wall.

And the first to be affected were the missile launchers.

“Launch all missiles immediately, we absolutely cannot allow them to explode inside the wall!”

Qi Zhao’s eyes turned completely red, placing missiles between the walls was indeed a dangerous and even foolish act. But they did so with the purpose that, if the wall was breached, they could deal a final heavy blow to the enemy.

Yet now, if they were corroded by the Poisonous Mist, causing premature explosion, all their plans would be wasted.

But just at that moment, a stream of Quicksand descended from the sky and swiftly swept away the mist. Gliding gently over the wall of desolation, it devoured all the Dead Beasts that approached the wall.

“Quicksand?”

Qi Zhao exhaled in relief upon seeing this, especially after all the Mythical Dead Beasts had vanished, his joy was overwhelming.

With Quicksand present, they might win this war!
