Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 225: Nibble

"Look, there's a Saber Demon coming out." Lucy pointed down the peak.

Alan took the binoculars and sure enough, under the first sphere not far from the mountain peak, Saber Demons drilled out one after another. Four Saber Demons appeared. They dispersed and followed a certain route before returning to the ball. Alan patiently remained motionless. About 15 minutes later, he counted in the direction of the clock to the second sphere. A Saber Demon also appeared.

After an hour, Saber Demons appeared in each of the four spheres and moved along a certain planned route. It seemed that they were patrolling the surrounding area routinely.

"There should be quite a few Saber Demons inside." Lucy frowned and said, "There will probably be a lot of trouble when we sneak in. The important thing is, we don't know the structure of the sphere yet."

"Then lure them out." Alan said.

Lucy's brows relaxed. "You plan to draw out the main force of the Saber Demon and make the internal forces empty. Let's sneak in again? That's a good idea, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do that on my own."

Alan knocked her on the head and said, "I didn't say you were going to be the bait."

"Then how do you draw out the main force of the other party?" Said Lucy, rubbing her head.

"What if you are the commander of the Saber Demon and discover that the ground alert team is constantly losing contact with each other?" Alan smiled.

Lucy's eyes smiled like crescent moons. "I'm sure we'll send enough men to investigate the ground. Are you planning to devour the Blade Demon's forces? But I'm afraid Wilick and I won't be able to hold out for that long "

Lucy couldn't hide her worries when she said the last sentence.

"We can only gamble. Otherwise, if we rashly enter, the two of them will really be hopeless." Alan slapped Chiyo and said, "Come on, it's time for it to open."

The two of them sneaked down the mountain.

Four more Saber Demons appeared on the snow. They dispersed and patrolled different areas.

One of them circled around a low hill and saw a human girl standing not far away, smiling and waving at him. Before the Saber Demon could react, his throat went cold. Then, the blood essence in his body gushed out, but only a small amount of blood dripped onto the snow. Most of the blood dissolved into mist and was absorbed by a snow-white dagger.

After pushing down the Saber Demon's corpse, Alan looked at the demon's praise. Ever since he absorbed the blood essence of a general, this Origin Tool seemed to be even more tyrannical in the way it absorbed blood energy. It was no longer satisfied with absorbing pure blood essence. Instead, it circulated the blood essence first, concentrating it into blood energy and then swallowing it in large mouthfuls. The efficiency was greatly improved.

Alan made a gesture and Lucy nodded. The two of them split up and hid themselves towards the other three Saber Fiends. Alan did two jobs alone, and Lucy silently dealt with one with a military dagger. After putting down this group of Saber Demons, the two of them dived towards the second sphere. At the bottom of the spheres was a circular steel base with multiple entrances and exits. By analogy, perhaps the entire sphere was made of steel.

On Nether Domain Star, there weren't many large creatures like this that were made purely out of steel.

An hour later, the four patrols were Allen's subordinates. The devil praised the devil and drank the blood energy of a dozen or so devil people, which was also beneficial. The four ground patrols lost contact, and the Saber Demon side quickly reacted. A moment later, a group of twenty or so people came out from the middle of the sphere. There was also a centurion inside.

Alan held Qianjun in his hand and stood in front of the patrol. The two of them were more than twenty meters apart, and under the vast white snowy plains, Allen's figure was as conspicuous as it was conspicuous.

The centurion immediately roared as he raised his saber and sprinted towards Allen.

The Saber Demon Warrior behind him roared as he followed.

None of them went back to call the police. They were so valiant, but they were right in Ellen's eyes. The Saber Demon troop only rushed to one step, and the gunshots rang out repeatedly. Lucy, who was lying in ambush nearby, was unwilling to let go of this chance to harvest her life. Golden Rose fired continuously, and four or five Saber Demons were shot in the head and fell to the ground one after another. The centurion pointed his saber at the source of the gunshot and immediately sent a squad towards Lucy.

"Idiot." Alan cursed softly and pointed at the ground. He rushed forward to meet the Saber Demon.

The two sides met on the middle line.

Allen's wrist shook, and a gust of wind and snow flew out from Qianjun. He pushed out a series of thunderclaps and slanted his finger at the centurion with the power of the mountain. With more than a thousand moves, Allen changed the way he used to use his saber power that was faster than lightning. Qianjun's saber strike was neither fast nor slow. The saber's momentum seemed ordinary, nor did it have any tricks in it. A smile appeared in the centurion's eyes as he sliced his saber into Qianjun's body. With a twist of his saber, he wanted to pick off Alan's heavy saber.

Unexpectedly, the saber landed on Qianjun, but it was as if it had struck at a thousand-meter high peak. The Thousand Average Saber didn't move at all. Instead, the Centurion's saber shattered inch by inch until it reached the hilt of the saber. Qian Jun picked it up, and the centurion put all his strength into it. With a loud roar, the origin energy around his body rose to protect his body. Alan's eyes lit up. Wherever the heavy saber passed, the Centurion's protective Origin Energy shattered like paper. Under the stunned gaze of the Saber Demon, the heavy saber bluntly pointed at his chin and the Saber Demon flew backwards. From the bottom of his palate, two-thirds of his head exploded, and Qian Junyi's head was broken!

Blood dyed the snow red.

Allen dragged his saber into the other Saber Fiends, and the heavy saber pointed at Qian Jun's weapon and armor, crushing and exploding. There was no enemy at all. In the blink of an eye, the team collapsed. Alan drew his saber and praised the Abyss Devil. He added a knife to the Saber Devil and let the Origin Tool suck in the blood energy of the Saber Devil. The gemstone on the hilt of the saber had a bit more red light.

The battle on Lucy's side also ended very quickly, after possessing the ability of flexibility. The young girl's movement was even more outstanding. She opened her distance and fired a few shots from time to time to get rid of the Saber Demon.

After killing off this group, the two of them retreated.

Not long after, the snowy plains began to tremble. Alan and Lucy, who were lying in ambush nearby, looked at each other. The tremor came from underground rather than from the surface, suggesting that there were machines operating underground and not on a small scale. At this moment, the round object in the middle shook off the ice and snow on it. Alan noticed that there was much less snow on it than on the other spheres.

Does this mean that it has been exercising intensely recently?

Allen quickly came up with an answer. After the ice and snow fell, it appeared to be a spherical metal surface. It seemed to be seamless, but in an instant, the surface was covered with lines, forming a large amount of light lines that looked like loops. Light patterns outlined squares of different shapes. These squares began to bulge and sink, but they seemed to follow a very complicated pattern. As the cubes moved, they continuously overlapped and contracted. As a result, the metal on the surface of the circle disappeared from top to bottom, eventually turning into a thick deck with eight slanted fingers on the snow.

Snowflakes rose from the surface of the deck when the bullet landed on the ground. After the snow and dust, one could see that the interior of the original sphere was covered in a piece of smooth metal. A crack appeared in the center of the metal floor, and then lines appeared. The ground undulated and rotated along the lines, finally revealing a gap. A large square iron block rose from the gap, and a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the tightly sewn metal. Then, the metal surface retracted to the left and right with the crack as the center, revealing a space similar to a lifting warehouse.

Hundreds of Saber Demons surged out of the cube. One of the tall Saber Demons pushed away the other warriors. Behind him was a banner with a picture of the Iron Hoof Tribe.

This was a Thousand Commander. Judging from his Origin Energy aura, he should have a strength of around Level 17. When the Thousand Commander saw the corpses of the troops in front of him, he roared angrily and pointed in several directions. The Saber Demon behind him immediately dispersed.

Alan nodded to Lucy and the two of them scattered like smoke. This time they changed their tactics from confronting the enemy head-on to guerrilla tactics. Occasionally, he would deliberately reveal himself and lead the Saber Demon Warrior to chase after him, and then kill him in the chase. The Thousand Commander stood there and listened to the gunshots from time to time on the snowy plains. The screams of the soldiers from the other side could be heard. Originally, he wanted to go to meet the enemy, but his voice was helpless. With a sound from the east and a cry from the west, they were completely unable to grasp the traces of the enemy and the number of them.

After standing on the snow for nearly half an hour, his voice faded away. The Thousand Commander felt that something was wrong, and a figure suddenly flashed in his eyes. It was a human silver-haired youth with a long black saber in his hand. The tip of the saber pointed to the ground, continuously dripping blood from the edge of the saber, winding through the snow.

The Thousand Commander saw that there were no wounds on the youth's body, and the blood on the knife belonged to the warriors of his side. At this moment, the youth raised his saber and pointed at him. This action was undoubtedly a fuse, and the Thousand Commander immediately shouted angrily as he strode forward.

He circulated his Origin Energy, causing the Origin Energy in his body to tremble and valley, and blood to rumble and flow. The Thousand Commander's entire body was filled with strength. Every time he stepped on it, snow would splatter everywhere, and the ground would shake lightly. A snow dragon would be raised behind him, and its momentum would be astonishing.

Alan exhaled a mouthful of air, and the lines on his forehead appeared. The blade of the Thousand Average Blade was wrapped in an orange flame. The blazing flames swirled like a coiling dragon as it howled. Allen rushed forward with his saber in hand, and the Saber Demon Thousand Commander wiped his hands behind his back, bringing out two exquisite short sabers. He quickly drew a saber flower in front of him. The falling snowflakes soundlessly split apart, and the saber technique was surprisingly exquisite.

In the Saber Demon Tribe that advocated martial arts, such a commander could be considered an exception.

Just as the two of them were about to collide, the Thousand Commander suddenly raised his left hand. The dagger in his hand infused with Origin Energy and whistled towards Allen's face.

Alan's footsteps didn't stop, and he shook his head fiercely. The dagger grazed a few strands of his hair and flew through the air. The Thousand Commander's dagger in his other hand struck out with lightning, pointing straight at Alan's throat. Alan stomped heavily on the ground, shaking up the snow. He quickly turned around and slid away with his other foot, dodging behind the Thousand Commander's left side. Qianjun bounced up and raised a thunderous voice as he swept his heavy saber across the area. The flames on the saber were actually pushed by the heavy saber Qi to the point that a fire dragon was thrown out like a flaming whip towards the Saber Demon, which was beyond Alan's expectations.

The Thousand Commander let out a strange cry as he jumped high, dodging the fire dragon and gravity. In midair, he pointed his short saber at Allen. Alan stretched out his left hand with lightning and pressed down on his right palm. He held the saber in both hands and twisted his waist. The sound of wind and thunder erupted from his body. The fire dragon spat out and heavily swept over the captain's short saber.

The Thousand Commander was struck by lightning, and his body trembled endlessly in midair. With a muffled snort, he swept away Qianjun's blade. Qianjun spat out flames, and Ouroboros chased after him!
