Chapter 196 Who Did It?
“Too strong, really too strong. What is this? Why is there no sign of life?” A captain shouted in fear.
“I don’t know, but I know that if we don’t kill it quickly, we might have to return to Crocodile City. There are too many casualties.”
“Kill, quickly kill him!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black figure was like lightning as it quickly passed through the Crocodile Race members. A terrifying blade light flashed past, causing people to feel despair and fear.
The city lord of Crocodile City crazily attacked. His two hands formed a large green hand as he crazily attacked Li Xuan.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan’s speed was too fast. The large green hand could not catch him at all. Instead, the large green hand was cut off by the long blade many times.
“Retreat! Retreat quickly!”
The city lord roared loudly. His body suddenly collided and transformed into a huge crocodile monster. Then, he charged toward Li Xuan’s corpse alone with a terrifying aura.
However, at this moment…
Li Xuan’s corpse suddenly stopped moving. With a plop, it fell to the ground and completely returned to dead silence.
This scene scared the city lord so much that he immediately retreated. He looked at the corpse on the ground vigilantly.
“What’s going on? Why is this guy lying on the ground and not moving?” The city lord panicked and could not figure out what was going on.
In addition, the wind and sand were everywhere, and the surroundings were becoming more and more blurry. The city lord was worried that there was an ambush nearby.
“Retreat, retreat from here first, immediately.”
The city lord gave another order. He led the remaining soldiers and hurriedly retreated for two kilometers. Only then did he look at the corpse lying on the ground vigilantly from afar.
“What’s going on? Could there be a substitute or something? is the real murderer hiding in the sand?” Someone could not help but ask.
“This…”
The city lord was also bewildered. He did not understand what was going on at all. In the end, he hesitated for a long time before sending someone to investigate.
Not long after…
After confirming that the corpse had completely stopped moving and that even the weapons had disappeared, the city lord heaved a sigh of relief. However, he still did not understand what was going on.
“Let’s return to the city first and report this matter to the clan. Let’s see what exactly is going on. This is too strange.”
For the sake of safety, the city lord brought everyone back. Firstly, he wanted to report this matter. Secondly, he wanted to take a good rest. There were too many casualties.
Of course, the corpse of the black-robed man had to be brought back. After all, this corpse could be handed over to the clan for research. Although the corpse might still be very dangerous, it would be less worrisome if it was tied with a rope and slithered in the sand from afar.
Thus, the team set off. A few people walked in the corpse from afar, leaving long marks in the sand.
Rumble!
A terrifying loud sound suddenly came from afar. The yellow sand in the sky rose from the explosion, forming a terrifying scene of the yellow sand in the sky.
This terrifying explosion also caused everyone’s expressions to change greatly.
“This… This is an explosion coming from the direction of Crocodile City. Could something have happened to Crocodile City? Quickly… quickly go back!”
The city lord of Crocodile City was shocked. He felt more and more that there was a scheme behind this. He hurriedly led his team and rushed toward Crocodile City.
Rumble!
Another terrifying explosion appeared and swept across a large area. The yellow sand that filled the sky completely changed the surrounding environment into a world of yellow sand.
This explosion made the city lord of Crocodile City even more terrified. He even slowed down his pace of rushing into the city. Because the explosion was too terrifying, the city lord felt his heart skip a beat when he saw it.
At this moment, the sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out. A blood-stained figure rushed over from afar, rushing toward the direction of the city lord.
Behind this blood-stained figure, a heavily injured steel mantis with two large blades was rapidly chasing after him. Its eyes were fixed on the blood-stained figure.
Whoosh!
The blood-stained figure finally arrived in front of the city lord. With a thud, it fell to the ground and spat out blood.
“Deputy city lord! it’s actually the deputy city lord!,” someone could not help but exclaim.
The city lord hurriedly rushed over and supported the deputy city lord. He said hurriedly, “What happened to you? What happened in the city? What happened to the big xxplosion? Tell me quickly.”
“City lord, Crocodile City, Crocodile City has collapsed. There are monsters… monsters…!”
The deputy city lord let out another breath. His aura was several times weaker, and he did not even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, the deputy city lord suddenly heard a voice from behind. He immediately turned his head to look and saw the figure that was madly chasing after him.
“Run! City lord, quickly take me and run, quickly! !”The deputy city lord did not know where his strength came from, so he hurriedly roared.
At the same time, the steel mantis ran to a place not far away from the group, but it suddenly stopped. Its eyes suddenly locked onto the corpse that was being dragged along by the rope.
The stillness appeared on the steel mantis’s body. Its originally cold eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and the thick smell of blood spread out.
Whoosh!
The Steel Mantis’s figure quickly flashed past, and in a blur, it charged into the group of crocodiles.
The city lord sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed out. Even the deputy city lord did not have the time to care about it and ran far away by himself.
Rumble!
The terrifying explosion appeared once again. The steaming yellow sand even formed a sandstorm and started to sweep in all directions.
The city lord was sent flying hundreds of meters in such an explosion. After rolling for a few rounds, he finally came to a stop.
Fortunately, he was powerful. With his powerful strength protecting him, even though he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, at least he survived.
However, when the wind and sand fell…
He looked at the deep sandpit behind him, looking at the corpses and flesh all over the ground. The city lord’s face turned pale. He hurriedly retreated in fear and then looked around vigilantly.
“What is going on? Where are the enemies? Why are they attacking my city? What is this steel mantis doing?”
The city lord was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what was going on. He did not even know who to seek revenge against.
In the end, he could only cover his heart and walk toward Crocodile City.
He had to see how his main city was doing. That was the place he had been managing for a long time. He did not want to see his city destroyed in an instant.
A few minutes later, the city lord looked at the ruined city and the ruins that looked like they had been destroyed by a catastrophe. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground.
The city lord woke up after two days. No one could save him. He could only struggle to find some food and water in the oasis. He quickly ate and recovered.
However, he still could not forget the previous scene. He could not figure out what kind of existence it had offended to have a city destroyed.
“Who is it? The Human Race? It doesn’t seem like it. If the Human Race had such powerful strength, they would have attacked long ago. Most importantly, they don’t control corpses.”
“Then the ones who can control corpses might be the Dark Race, the Netherworld race, the corpse ghost race, and the death soul race. Damn it, many races can control corpses. Who Is It?”
The city lord’s eyes were blood-red. Looking at the ruins of the city, he was even more furious. He swore to take revenge and kill the culprit.
However, thinking of the steel mantids, the city lord still had lingering fear. He felt that this thing was too dangerous. He had to be extremely careful in the future.
“I’ll first report this matter. My city has been destroyed, and the race will definitely be shaken. They will definitely look for the mastermind behind this…”
As for the matter of avenging the young clan leader, he would have to wait for a while. Although the Human Race also had some suspicious points, the probability was very small. At the moment, the main consideration is the Corpse Ghost Race. These fellows won’t be able to deal with us.”
The city lord narrowed his eyes as he analyzed. He felt that this matter might be related to the corpse ghost clan, and the suspicious points were very big. With his own guess, the city lord once again plundered some food and set foot on the path back to the tribe alone.
On the other side, in the rolling yellow sand…
Li Xuan stood quietly on the sand, wagging his small tail speechlessly. He felt that he had reincarnated into a low-level Summoned Beast.
