Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

”Screech—”

A horizontal line appeared across the King Worm’s midsection. Even a body as tough as steel and iron was like nothing before an ability that absolutely ignored defense.

The massive body was severed at the waist. Li Changgong’s eyes were filled with delight.

”This time, I won’t miss again!”

His gaze burned as he stared at the King Worm’s waist area. That was the location of a super mutant beast origin with a superhuman ability index as high as 20,000 points!

He had decided. If he was going to compete for something, it would be this one!

But right at that moment, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi’s mouth, and his voice reached Li Changgong’s ear.

”It’s not dead yet!”

Li Changgong was stunned. Then he saw the body that had been cut in two rapidly begin to writhe with flesh and blood from the severed ends.

”Pfft!” ”Pfft!”

Large masses of fresh flesh and blood rapidly grew out from the severed ends. The King Worm that should have died actually transformed into two after being cut in half!

Seeing this scene, Li Changgong was instantly dumbfounded. Seizing the moment before the King Worm recovered, he immediately chose to retreat.

Zhang Yi and the others also gazed solemnly at the King Worm.

Zhang Yi wasn’t clear about what had happened. Li Changgong’s attack just now had clearly hit the theoretical core location.

But the King Worm hadn’t died. Instead, it had split into two.

”Could it be that after mutation, the core’s location isn’t necessarily the same for each individual?”

”Splitting... Does this mean it has more than one core?”

Zhang Yi’s All Things Follow Traces could only observe the King Worm’s future two seconds later. He still couldn’t figure out exactly what the King Worm’s ability was.

And this way, he also encountered a problem.

One King Worm was already so hard to kill. Two of them... Could the four of them win?

”It really is hard to kill!”

Zhang Yi said this.

Li Changgong rapidly flickered through the air a few times, arriving not far from Zhang Yi.

”Chaos, two more times! Our attack method is effective. It can’t defend against this kind of surprise attack. We can kill it!”

However, Zhang Yi frowned and said, ”It was effective the first time, but it might not be if we try again. Besides, which one is the main body? Or perhaps... both are?”

But Li Changgong and the others were currently feeling very confident.

At the very least, it proved their attacks were effective.

Even if the King Worm was strong enough, they were four of the Huaxu Kingdom’s top superhumans!

The coordination between superhumans isn’t a simple 1+1 relationship.

It’s a 1×1 relationship!

Well, just kidding...

The abilities of the four of them were all different. When combined, they could cover each other’s weaknesses. Even facing a super monster like the King Worm with an ability index around 20,000 points, they had the ability to fight.

As long as they found the King Worm’s weakness, then victory wouldn’t be far away.

But at this moment, the King Worm that had been cut in two flew into a rage!

Its nearly indestructible body, its formidable regenerative ability that made it almost impossible to kill, had finally met its natural enemy today.

The crisis of death caused it to erupt with an even stronger killing intent!

”Squeak—”

The two King Worms after the split emitted piercing shrieks from their mouths. The body of one of the King Worms began to writhe grotesquely.

Zhang Yi’s attention immediately fell upon it.

Then Zhang Yi’s expression changed. He shouted in a deep voice, ”Not good, close your eyes!”

The moment his words fell, Zhang Yi immediately ordered his combat suit’s Smart System to block all external light sources.

The time was too short. The other three simply didn’t have time to react.

And right then, the skin of that grotesquely writhing King Worm began to fall off and pile up in layers like a Shar-Pei dog’s skin. From within the thick, piled-up layers of skin, over a dozen huge and ferocious purple pupils suddenly opened!

The massive eyeballs rolled rapidly. An eerie, bewitching purple light erupted from the dozen-plus pupils. In just an instant, it enveloped the entire underground nest!

Although Zhang Yi had warned them, how could human reaction speed be that fast?

Zong Yue and the other two still didn’t understand what was happening. Even if they subconsciously wanted to block the light source, their reaction speed simply wasn’t fast enough.

Han Shanzuo was just about to do something when suddenly, the King Worm’s body before his eyes began to inflate like a balloon.

The originally terrifying 500-meter-long body grew as if blown by the wind, continuously increasing in size.

1000 meters, 2000 meters!

Its head reached the top of the underground cavern, even having to lower its head because its body length exceeded the cavern’s height.

Han Shanzuo’s mouth hung open. The sight before him chilled his body with fear.

The King Worm before his eyes was more massive than a mountain. Even his current Calamity Crow form was as insignificant as a mosquito before it.

The King Worm lowered its head, ”looking down” at Han Shanzuo. Its massive, mountain-like head slowly pressed down towards him.

Han Shanzuo suddenly felt his body couldn’t move. It was a reaction born from facing a powerful existence he absolutely could not defeat.

His heart was already telling him that resistance was meaningless. It was better to offer his life to this powerful being.

Han Shanzuo, Li Changgong, and Zong Yue were currently sweating profusely. They hadn’t imagined the gap between themselves and the King Worm was so vast.

It was an existence they absolutely could not defeat.

It made them unable to muster any thought of resistance.

But right at that moment, a strange, piercing sound suddenly rang in their ears, stinging their brains like a bee’s sting.

Pain, dizziness, all sorts of sensations made them almost want to vomit on the spot.

And this intense, stimulating feeling was like a giant hand crumpling up all the scenery before their eyes.

Han Shanzuo almost vomited up the food he ate in the morning. But he also clearly saw what was truly before him.

Where was there any Ground Centipede as massive as a mountain?

It was clearly that Ground Centipede’s clone, revealing its ferocious, monstrous eyes from within its wrinkled, fleshy skin, releasing an eerie, bewitching purple light that had caused them to hallucinate!

”Snap out of it! It’s an illusion technique!”

Zhang Yi’s sharp reprimand rang in the ears of the three.

He had already blocked external light sources in advance, so he hadn’t fallen for it.

This was the advantage of having a time-based ability. You could anticipate the enemy’s moves.

The principle of illusion techniques wasn’t hard to understand. They provided the brain with false information by affecting a person’s five senses.

The Ground Centipede’s clone possessed this kind of group hypnosis ability, using light.

Although illusion techniques were powerful, they could be broken as long as you saw through the method of casting.

Zhang Yi hadn’t fallen for it, and he had also prepared a method to deal with illusion techniques: applying an even stronger stimulus to the brain. It had a bit of a ”fighting poison with poison” flavor.

The team channel for all four was open. He just needed to use sound waves to stimulate their brains.

The three of them now came to their senses, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

The ability of a 20,000-point mutant beast was truly terrifying. If Zhang Yi hadn’t been here today, and if it had been other White Rook-level superhumans here instead, they probably would have been in grave danger!
