The Great Worm Lich

The Wizard Li’s god granted the giant biological weapon that had sunk into degradation for thousands of years with new vitality but couldn’t let it return to its full prime state immediately. The biochemical warship would need a long time of replenishment before it could finally restore its combat effectiveness.

Due to the biological characteristics of the ‘weapons,’ the so-called energy supply was actually ‘feeding.’ After diving into the seabed, the mottled spots on the biological warships that were supposed to be used as long-range weapon launching holes began to split open to become large meat holes that continued to squirm and suck in acutely, creating an excellent gravitation field that formed a swirl of stream to suck in a massive amount of seawater into the filter into its’ chest’.

Pure water was discharged after being filtered. The nutrient-rich microbes and salt particles, on the other hand, were sent to the ‘stomach sac’ through its pipeline. After undergoing some digestive method, an enormous amount of energy was generated, in which it would then transform into some fat-like crystal that would be stored under the skin of the battleship.

Judging from the energy supplement of the ‘Ancient One,’ in case all energy had been exhausted, the giant biological weapon would need at least fifteen hours of full supply to fully recharge. In Zhang Lisheng’s plan, this time was just about right for him to ‘resurrect’ the remaining three biochemical weapons that had been turned into reef islands.

After that, he could then quickly test and activate the various functions of the biochemical warships and make a comparative analysis.

Unfortunately, the luck of Wizard Li’s god was not as good as he thought. When he tried to activate the next warship, due to the severity of the weathering, he could only obtain a weird floating thing like a garbage mountain, despite exerting his entire energy and using both divine powers of ‘life-bestowing’ and ‘repairing.’

Looking at the floating island the size of the expeditionary army on the bow of the ship, Zhang Lisheng jumped down and leaped onto the island, before stamping and muttering to himself, “Not only that, but the size has become a few times smaller, and the leather has also softened. Is this caused by genetic variation or degradation? Ah, forget it, I won’t be able to get the answer anyway. If this biochemical warship turned into a small ship from a giant one, it might be a good thing too…”

As he was speaking, he crouched and placed both his hands on the ground before shutting his eyes. A bitter expression crept upon his face as he ended his beautiful fantasy. “It’s just a worthless ‘meat mountain.’ It can’t even be used to remodel a warship. Sigh…”

Standing up, the young man sighed and gathered excellent water currents behind him to wrap him up and bring him back to the steam warship.

After composing himself while standing on the side of the ship, he stared into the distant sea and ordered, “Go to the next reef island.”

The flagship responded and started to move slowly to the other small island, leaving the giant weapon wreckage that failed to reactivate on the sea surface.

About three hours later, tens of thousands of water columns mixed with sands infused with milky white light rose up into the sky from the Rovan coast, drawing an arc in the air to form mottled rainbows that wrapped around a reef island tightly.

In the evening, the same scene was repeated once again. Lady Luck stood by Zhang Lisheng this time, increasing the number of giant biological weapons that Zhang Lisheng mastered into four.

The next morning, four biological warships filled with energy broke through the sea. After forming a fleet and exercising drill for two days, they rushed to the front line two days later, starting to aid the Wizard Li’s expeditionary army to launch an attack at the Rovanian.

When the most potent weapons in ancient times that could blot the sky and turn the entire city from day to night announced their own resurrections by pouring death rays, strong acid, and plasma-like thunderstorm, the battle that was already fierce grew into a one-sided cruel massacre.

Now that another heavyweight was added, the war situation that had been tilting towards the Wizard Li’s legion became thoroughly one-sided, accelerating the expeditionary army’s footsteps on the destruction and conquest of the foreign tribes.

As the Rovan Island further fell, more and more reef islands formed by ancient biological warships were acquired by Zhang Lisheng. Under this virtuous circle, in just within 50 days, one of the three islands in the Nutao Sea, Rovan, collapsed and became Wizard Li’s tribesmen’s hunting ground.

After the Rovan battle ended, ten biological warships—the largest one had an area of over 50 square kilometers and a height of over 60 meters while the smallest one had an area of about 20 square kilometers, and a height of over 30 meters—and thousands of varieties of ‘shell maker’ became the added power that enhanced the strength of the Wizard Li’s expeditionary army. This also allowed the other two battles in the Nutao Sea’s three islands to become a sure victory. By the time when the spring turned into summer, the resistance of the native indigenous people in the Nutao Sea grew sparsely fragmented.

The blazing fire and the sultry smoke accompanied by the mourning of the losers on the battlefield made it even more bloody and tragic.

In a city covered with smoke, humanoid beasts—who were severely injured, or whose neck had been cleanly severed, or whose chests had been penetrated, or whose limbs were amputated—could be seen rigidly wandering around numbly, destroying the remaining enemies.

Zhang Lisheng was commanding tens of thousands of living corpses that had been merged together with their ‘shells’ to destroy one of the few lasts slave master tribes on the Nutao Sea’s three islands. He who was happy over his experimental results stood on the shoulders of a sand giant overlooking the distance with a satisfied smile on his face.

Casually looking down at a skinny chief warrior wearing a golden headband riding a huge earth dragon, he said, “My devour believer Huolu. Look, the powerful dead ones have defeated the living. Another strong foreign tribe on Wuhe Island has fallen now.”

“Great God, the powerful ones are not the dead but you who’s a master of the two most powerful and divine power of ‘life’ and ‘death,’” The chief warrior replied with great determination, “Those who follow you will be able to achieve a brilliant victory, and those who go against you will only have death and destruction awaiting them. You have become the ‘Truth’ in the Hellfire Sea!”

In the face of the compliment from the Wizard Li’s legion commander, the young man smiled noncommittally and raised his head to continue looking at the massacring of the living corpses.

Without warning, a series of wing flapping pierced the clouds at high speed. A humanoid raptor with a hummingbird’s head landed at his feet with a whistling wind, before speaking in human language pantingly, “Great God, the Black Iron Legion has found a foreign tribe’s divine temple hidden in the mountains on the Sacred Mountain Island. There are countless golden sculptures there, and colorful gems are scattered all over the ground. It’s 1000 times larger than other ordinary temples, and Commander Aruno has already sealed the temple awaiting your order.”

“A giant temple?” Zhang Lisheng’s eyes lit up. He commanded the living corpses that had been sufficiently refined to start devouring each other to transform into a fat giant that resembled a meat mountain, before telling the chief warrior beside him, “Huolu, you’ll be in charge of the cleaning up of the Wuhe Island’s battle. I’ll go to Sacred Mountain Island…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp sound sliced through the air behind him. Stunned, he saw another dispatch warrior wearing a raptor’ shell’ flying down to kneel at his feet, who then reported hastily, “Great god! Headman Tugra sent a message saying that there are many outlanders with skybeasts in the Wizard Li Island!”

The skybeasts mentioned by the Hellfire tribesman was an aerospace warship. This simple message froze Zhang Lisheng right away. Clenching his teeth unconsciously, his face turned grave right away, something that he rarely did.

“Has the Atlanteans invaded the Shrimp World No. 2? This damn group of alien trash! As I’ve thought, they really want to use Earth as a springboard to plunder and expand into the foreign world! How should I deal with their hypocrisy and greed…” He blurted out in a murmur, unconcerned of the Hellfire tribesmen around him. Right now, with Zhang Lisheng’s influence, it was just a matter of time for the name ‘Hellfire’ to be replaced with ‘Wizard Li.’ Even if he was a demon, billions of natives would still kneel and pray at his feet devoutly.

After pondering without coming up with a solution, Zhang Lisheng asked Tugra’s messenger, “Has the outlander’s skybeast attacked the tribe?”

“They didn’t attack the tribe, but they’ve destroyed a large hunting ground around the tribe and killed countless beasts, Your Majesty.”

Zhang Lisheng’s eyes lit up when he heard Atlanteans’ strategy.

As a foreign world’s explorer who had worked with these aliens before, he knew that to the Atlanteans who possessed the supernatural ability to manipulate ‘fire’ and ‘light’ and the terrible technological power that allowed them to roam and colonize freely in the universe. To them, the Hellfire tribesmen were a group of primitive barbarians who had been influenced by foreign civilizations and had become dominant by chance.

If they took the initiative to attack and cross the foreign world’s channel, then the native army riding ferocious ‘partner’s who knew how to use simple, powerful firearms led by mysterious spellcasters would cause a lot of trouble.

However, if the Hellfire islands fell into a passive defense, the Wizard Li warriors would become a target of activity in front of the aerospace warship. Now, judging from how they used this method of intimidation-based tactics to invade, one could tell that the military power that Atlantis used was insignificant.

Zhang Lisheng relaxed a little and suddenly recalled that he had not asked the most important question, “How many skybeasts are hovering in the air of the Wizard Li Island?”

“Three, Your Majesty!”

“How big are they?”

“According to calculation, the biggest skybeast has a size similar to the ‘Ancient One’ while the other two smaller ones are about the same size as ‘Star.’”

“There are too many targets to invade, so they use the smallest standard fleet to intimidate first so they can encroach us? Well then, you really have made the wrong move…” Upon hearing this, the young man secretly sighed and muttered to himself. After a moment of ponderation, he ordered, “Gather all the skybeasts of the tribe! I’ll lead them to drive the outlanders out of the Wizard Li’s land!”

It was clear that this tactic was an ‘an eye for an eye’ method, he wanted to use means of intimidation to let Atlantis retreat too.

Restricted by the lack of divine power in the totem pole, Zhang Lisheng could only activate 24 biochemical warships, although he had found a total of 75 ancient reef islands in the three islands of Nutao Sea. Still, it was already enough to seize the weak alien fleet with bafflement.

The dispatch warrior passed the Wizard Li’s god’s order to the entire Nutao Sea’s three islands. A day later, over 20 large biological weapons destroyed many dense jungles and gathered in front of Zhang Lisheng.
