Chapter 354 - Maple Leaf City
Chapter 354: Maple Leaf City
“According to the latest news, the five major factions have already announced that they will do everything they can to stop the parasitic species!”
“Research shows that the parasitic species can parasitize all living beings, plunder all the energy in their bodies to convert it into their own energy, and evolve at the fastest speed.”
“Experts say that they are doing their best to research drugs to combat the parasitic ability of the parasitic species.”
“The broodmother made a new move today and completely destroyed the Black Jade City. In only three hours, it devoured three million people in Black Jade City. Currently, only 3,600 people have escaped…”
The tranquility of humanity was completely gone, replaced by the various grievous information that appeared on the news every day.
The parasite species had made a comeback. This time, all humans had experienced what the people of Dragonlith City had felt back then. The terror of the parasite species was no longer distant and irrelevant, but a genuine threat, a threat to all humanity.
Such grievous news came every day. This was simply much more frightening than the Predator dire beasts back then. Although the Predator dire beasts had also incurred damage to humans back then, they were far less calamitous than the parasitic species.
Even Sage Claus had died in battle!
The death of a Sage was an especially heavy blow to humanity. After all, Claus was different from Batai. Sage Claus was the first Sage to die in battle against dire beasts!
In particular, humanity had yet to find an effective way to resist the parasites. They lost cities and lands every day, and the parasites had gradually advanced into the heartland of humanity.
In just half a month, the parasites had already caused at least 20 million deaths, and this number was still increasing.
What was especially terrifying was that tens of millions more parasites had been born to the parasitic species. They were all powerful parasites born from parasitizing humans.
Everyone was anticipating the appearance of the Sages, because neither Divine Realm martial artists nor Meta-divine Realm martial artists seemed to be effective.
“Latest news, the person in charge of the League of Guardians and the fiancée of Sage Lin Feng, Miss Qu Chen, has led many members of the League of Guardians and more than 200,000 armed robots to join the battlefield at Maple Leaf City!”
Another news notification stunned everyone slightly.
The League of Guardians?
Only then did many people remember that there were no longer the five major factions, but the six major factions. However, they only remembered Sage Lin Feng, and very few people remembered the League of Guardians.
It was because the League of Guardians’ presence was too weak. After all, the League of Guardians did not choose to develop in the inherent spheres of the five major factions. Instead, it went to the Outland and started out from scratch. How could anyone be aware?
Even those who knew must be those martial artists who paid attention. Very few ordinary people knew about the League of Guardians.
But now, only after the introduction on the news did they learn that the League of Guardians established by Sage Lin Feng had a powerful force in the form of the armed robots.
However, could these robots work? Could they stop the terrifying torrent of parasites?
At this moment, not only were many people doubtful, Qu Chen was also uncertain.
However, she still resolutely chose to lead the robot army, and left the League of Guardians Headquarters to rush to Maple Leaf City.
Zhang Qiji accompanied Qu Chen and helped her to command the 200,000-strong robot army.
As the name suggested, Maple Leaf City was the city of maple leaves. There were maple trees everywhere. In the fall, this would be the most beautiful place, and many people would come because of its reputation.
Unfortunately, although it was also autumn now, no tourists dared to come anymore, for the parasitic species was already approaching Maple Leaf City. The current Maple Leaf City had already become the frontline.
“I wonder how he is now?”
Qu Chen looked out of the city with some worry in her eyes.
“Qu Chen, don’t worry. Sage Lin Feng won’t get into trouble so easily. Something must have delayed him.”
The one who spoke was the Invincible Fist Sage.
Beside the Invincible Fist Sage were Sage Kang and the other six Sages.
Of the remaining seven Sages of humanity, apart from Lin Feng, all had rushed to Maple Leaf City. It was just that this remained unreported. They were concealed in Maple Leaf City.
“Lord Invincible Fist Sage, Lord Sage Bingyu.”
Qu Chen hurriedly bowed to the Invincible Fist Sage and Sage Bingyu. These two were the Deans of the Myriad Academy and the Polar Academy. Qu Chen was once a student of the Polar Academy, so she naturally did not dare to be disrespectful.
“Silly child, you shouldn’t have come.”
Sage Bingyu was usually cold, but when she looked at Qu Chen, her gaze revealed gentleness. Perhaps because they were both women, Sage Bingyu was always more accommodating towards women.
“No, I’m the person in charge of the League of Guardians now. If Lin Feng isn’t here, I have to represent the League of Guardians. I can’t shame his name!”
Qu Chen, however, was very determined. She was no longer just that ordinary student from the Polar Academy. She was Lin Feng’s fiancée, the fiancée of a Sage, and the temporary person in charge of the League of Guardians.
Without Lin Feng around, Qu Chen had to lead the League of Guardians to come forward.
The elites of the five major factions as well as the seven Sages had already gathered in Maple City. This was practically the strongest lineup of humanity in the present.
Maple Leaf City was where humans were determined to stop the parasites.
There were no longer any ordinary people in the entire city. All of them had been evacuated, leaving only the elite forces of the five major factions.
In a sense, this was practically the decisive battle!
“Qu Chen, you are doing great work! However, you likely know how dangerous this situation is. If the situation becomes critical, you have to retreat first, no matter what. Otherwise, I won’t be able to answer to Sage Lin Feng.” The Invincible Fist Sage said slowly.
Qu Chen’s identity was special. He did not want the incident with Batai to repeat itself.
“Lord Sage, don’t worry. I understand the priorities.”
Qu Chen was not too insistent. She knew that once the situation turned south, it would be useless even if she stayed here.
“Incoming.” Suddenly, Sage Kang said in a low voice.
At the same time, everyone lifted their heads and looked into the distance.
Rumble.
On the distant horizon, a cloud of dust filled the air, accompanied by the faint sound of violent tremors.
Countless ugly and hideous parasites swept over rapidly from afar like a deluge. Even the most determined person could not help but feel their scalps tingle.
Those were not tens of thousands of parasites, but millions or tens of millions of them! They emitted a monstrous aura as they advanced continuously from afar.
Qu Chen’s face was a little pale. This was also the first time she had experienced such a scene, but she bit her lip hard and forced herself to calm her fear.
“Qu Chen, try the robot army from your League of Guardians!”
Sage Kang looked straight ahead at the parasitic species and said in a low voice.
“Target locked, attack!”
Qu Chen immediately gave the order. Immediately, countless robots jumped down from the city wall and charged towards the parasites in the distance like a surging tide.
