Abyss Summoner

Chapter 512 - 500: Overestimating Oneself

A sound of wailing ghosts and howling wolves came from ahead!

Upon hearing reports that insects were surrounding them, Chen Feng looked playfully forward and said, "Wait until they get a little closer before taking action!"

This time, Chen Feng had brought many elites, who were the best, having participated in over three battles. After hearing Chen Feng’s order, they immediately guessed his intention. An experienced warrior patted a subordinate’s shoulder, signaling to wait for his command before taking action.

Indeed!

The enemy fell into the trap!

A giant beetle appeared from the forest, shrieking, and a batch of strange insects followed it.

These insects surged towards the crowd like waves, a black mass that felt extremely oppressive. Besides, they carried a peculiar stench unique to insects, which became unbearably pungent when mixed with hundreds or thousands of them.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying scene.

The stench-filled environment was undoubtedly disgusting.

Yet, experienced warriors showed little fear. The professionals clenched their fists, and warriors raised their guns, listening to Chen Feng’s command to wait until the enemy was closer before counterattacking.

The piercing shrieks grew louder, and the approaching insects seemed agitated, their eyes tinged with red; occasionally, some smaller insects were trampled to death.

"Crack!"

"Crack crack!"

The sound of shelled insects being crushed might be one of the world’s most unbearable sounds.

Just like ancient battles where both sides would slaughter pigs, sheep, and captives at the front line, this bloody scene was undeniably a form of intimidation.

Colorful fluids splattered on the ground, causing insects, having not smelled blood in a long time, to gradually go berserk. Though calmed down, madness was embedded in their bones, unhealable once triggered in a short time.

However, when the insects were about to reach the enemy, they found something different about their opponents, different from previous encounters, as these people showed no fear or tension at all.

At the center between humans and insects were Skeleton Warriors emitting a decaying will. These strengthened warriors, composed of several bones, had deep Soul Fires in their eyes. With indifferent expression, they charged directly at the attacking insects.

Bones were these creatures’ weapons, and as the Skeleton Warriors charged forward, they caused chaos within the swarm.

"Heh heh..."

A man holding a heavy machine gun, muscles taut like rock, let out an arrogant laugh. His power awoke, and as a gunman who relied on sheer physical strength to withstand the recoil of hundreds of kilograms, it was undoubtedly his time to perform.

"Fire, blow the heads off these bastards!"

"I want to blow all their brains to pieces!"

The man’s words were crude, but his strength was exceptional. Accompanied by a string of curses, he pulled the trigger. This specially crafted weapon could kill any Silver Tier expert within a range of five hundred meters.

Black technology.

The weapon’s recoil was very high; if an ordinary person stood behind it, they might be mashed into pulp immediately. Yet, the man handled it with ease.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the leading mutated beetle was shot and exploded, bile, innards, and Insect Armor splattering everywhere!

This marked the beginning of the assault; the warriors simultaneously pulled their triggers, instantly holding back the previously terrifying swarm a hundred meters away.

The counterattack had just begun.

Several professionals stepped forward, one clasped hands together, and flames suddenly rose in front of him, while the other blew hard, creating a storm comparable to force ten. The hurricane swept up the fire, ravaging forward at lightning speed, the powerful fire tornado tearing a gap in the swarm.

With the ingenious cooperation of two Silver Tier experts, they unleashed even more terrifying power.

Order was not stagnating; rather, as it stabilized, professionals had more time to study their abilities.

Chen Feng disliked useless people.

To gain more resources and higher status, professionals had to become stronger.

Precisely because of this, some professionals used collaboration to maximize their abilities. Wind and fire, thunder and water, even Beast Tamer and Insect Control Master, these strong alliances opened a new Chapter of abilities.

And among them, Chen Feng played a pivotal role in spurring this on.

These cooperative models were applied in the years following the apocalypse, a principle very simple as long as a few people coordinated well, they could unleash even more devastating energy.

Abilities are dead, but people are alive. After being inspired, Order even started a partner frenzy, with professionals seeking that Bole, confidant, who could double their power.

The battlefield was already stabilized.

The insects had completely lost their advantage, even though some had long-range attacks, they were intercepted by the professionals as soon as they released them.

Until finally, a gigantic spider appeared, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Ghost-faced Spider.

This creature is an anomaly, with a strongly adhesive back. After killing humans, it likes to sever their heads and place them on its back. Consequently, when seen from afar, the Ghost-faced Spider resembles a solitary grave for the dead, with its broad back covered in numerous shriveled heads, numbering in the hundreds.

For Li Linhua to pacify such a monster without bloodshed was a testament to her power.

Silver Peak.

Very strong, but still not enough.

Chen Feng snapped his fingers, eager to end this meaningless battle quickly. The Undead Mage beside him received the signal and, once again, waved his staff, causing a scorching rift to appear in front of Chen Feng.

The skin on his arm began to mutate. While Chen Feng maintained a human face, his arm transformed into that of a demon. He reached into the rift, and the next instant, a blazing longsword appeared before him.

——Decapitation!

Chen Feng’s figure descended from the sky, and the blazing sub-divine artifact slashed through with a red gleam towards the body of the Ghost-faced Spider. Everything happened too suddenly.

The newly emerged Ghost-faced Spider, once considered a boss-level being, shattered like porcelain at the mere touch of the sub-divine artifact!

Without even a sound, the Ghost-faced Spider’s body split in two. More horrifyingly, as it was cut, the body began to burn.

Boom!

A wave of heat surged, and in just one second, the powerful Insect Emperor died in front of everyone.

It was over.

With zero deaths and injuries, this seemingly terrifying insect swarm met its end.

...............

The surroundings were deathly silent.

Responding to Xing Yong’s call, several hundred rebels gathered around. Among them were bloodthirsty thugs, some who had even killed with their own hands.

Special times call for special measures.

In times of peace, murderers are feared, but in this apocalypse, unlike the timid and honest folk, Xing Yong naturally favored those who lived on the edge. Yet, no matter how fearsome these people were before, now they seemed utterly shocked.

Thanks to the Hawk eye’s abilities, everyone witnessed the battle. According to their plan, they would have shown up halfway through the insects’ fight with the target to seize the ship. But who could have imagined the terrifying insect tide was subdued without even a splash?

Several exchanged glances. Despite their previous ferocity, they were genuinely terrified now. Even Xing Yong, the mastermind of this plot, trembled slightly. The terrifying weapons, the cunning cooperation, and... that terrifying man at the end.

From start to finish, with just one sword swing, the terrifying Insect Emperor was split in two. The opponent’s strength was beyond Xing Yong’s comprehension.

Who was this person, where did they come from, and what was their goal? None of that mattered anymore. What mattered was realizing his own foolishness.

A mantis trying to stop a chariot.

To think he aimed to seize that person’s ship seemed utterly laughable and reckless now!

Under everyone’s dread, this farce ended quietly.

Xing Yong took a deep breath, suppressing his inner fear. He patted the Hawk eye’s shoulder, trying to end this meaningless surveillance.

The plan was evidently dead on arrival,

but just then, he noticed the Hawk eye’s unusual state. This subordinate, who could share sight with animals, was now shivering uncontrollably as if standing naked in the winter streets.

A foreboding feeling crept over him. Following the Hawk eye’s gaze, he saw the formidable figure who had just slain the Insect Emperor staring straight ahead. Xing Yong finally understood why the Hawk eye was so unsettled. Even he felt his heart sink under such a scrutinizing gaze.

On the other side.

Chen Feng looked up at the treetop, at the owl that hadn’t moved an inch even after hearing the cannon blasts, and said just one thing:

"Did you enjoy the view?"

At the same time, ripples formed in Chen Feng’s right eye. Four mottled dots began to spin, like black holes devouring everything, instantly reflecting in the bird’s eyes.

"Ah!"

The Hawk eye cried out in pain as the scene before him vanished, and his eyes seemed to suffer some damage, bleeding two rivers of crimson.

Xing Yong hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but the next words from the Hawk eye caused his gesture to freeze halfway.

"We must go... he... he’s discovered us!"
