Chapter 279 Deflated
The Serpent King had already reached the ninth rank, but the levels after the ninth rank were completely different from before. Each level after the ninth rank required a large amount of black crystals.
However, with each advancement, one's strength undergoes a dramatic change. Advancing after the ninth rank becomes extremely difficult, and even crystal cores or ability cores of the same type above the sixth rank can only provide a slight boost.
Mold did not refuse. The Insect King and the Serpent King were on good terms and even had a cooperative relationship. Giving a sixth-order ability core to the Serpent King would not be a difficult thing.
When he looked down at Lu Yize, he looked regretful. It was a pity that if this person were a resident of the Federation, or even just a citizen of a garbage planet, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
But... he was unlucky, born where the black crystal stone fell. These natives knew too much about it and had to be eliminated one by one.
Mold did not reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he instantly transformed the frozen ground and the condensed water vapor in the air into sharp blades, stabbing them at the weak, struggling, and pitiful low-level creatures within the base.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mingzhang immediately ordered a retreat. Zheng Lin quickly used his supernatural abilities, with layers of trees rising from the ground to try and block the hailstones, which were only the size of raindrops.
But the next moment, a tiny drop of hail pierced through the tree trunk, which was as thick as an arm, and struck the zombie hiding behind it right between the eyebrows.
The third-tier crystal core between the zombie's eyebrows instantly lost all its vitality and shattered directly in its brain. Then, a drop of hail pierced through the back of its head and firmly embedded itself in the tree trunk.
Death comes so suddenly that others don't even have time to react to the fear.
Hailstones pierced through the tree trunks and bushes, striking the humans, zombies, and beasts with pinpoint accuracy.
Hilde believes that rather than hiding, they need to face reality; struggling is meaningless for them.
Morse and Chen Mingzhang immediately joined forces to build a barrier, but Hilde only controlled the direction of the hail with her eyes.
They were crushed to the ground. For an eighth-tier ability user who was about to step into the ninth tier, crushing two fourth- or fifth-tier ability users was like a brutal massacre.
"You have two choices: one, surrender and become our slaves, two..."
Hilder didn't continue, but Riva's excited licking of the knife beside him was enough for them to understand: either become slaves or die.
What a joke! How dare these damned bugs crawl on their heads? Chen Mingzhang and Morse were pinned to the ground, and Lu Yize used his special ability to help them.
But the next moment, he heard Hilde's sarcasm, "What right do the weak have to be distracted?"
As if to verify his words, Lu Yize, who was originally able to use his mental strength to fight against the opponent, suddenly found cracks appearing in the ground around him.
Oh no! Lu Yize immediately moved away from his spot, bracing himself against the crack in the ground that had reached the edge of his chariot. The next moment, sharp ice blocks were already attacking him, constantly forcing him back.
Lu Yize had never been so disheveled. Even when facing the seventh-tier Nor, he had never been so helpless.
It was obvious that the insect in front of him was far more powerful than Noel, whom Lu Yize had previously thought was already very strong.
Lu Yize and the others were completely caught in the turmoil. The enemy in front of them was so strong that they could not resist. Lu Yize looked up and met Hilde's eyes. Fortunately, he never thought that he could fight the other party head-on at this time.
The gap in levels must be bridged rapidly, and it's not just him; everyone else's ability levels must also advance quickly, otherwise they simply won't be able to cope with the behemoth pressing down on their celestial space.
Lu Yize had already asked Xie Hongyang to lead the zombie horde away, so there weren't many people left in the base.
Lu Yize and Chen Mingzhang had already reached an agreement, and when Hilde attacked again, he threw out a large amount of salt from his spatial storage.
The white crystals were encased in magma by Morse and heated into a liquid. Hilde frowned, wondering what tricks these ants were up to.
He was simply getting tired of playing with them and planned to get rid of these inferior creatures as soon as possible, compared to these dispensable creatures.
He was more interested in the black crystal; he wouldn't have come here if it weren't to kill the guy who murdered his brother first.
With a flick of Hilde's wrist, the outer layer of ice around the small base quickly closed inward, leaving only a gap in the sky that had not yet been sealed.
Hilde had intended to see fear on the faces of those inferior creatures, but the moment he used his mental power to observe, he saw a human named Lu Yize with a smile on his lips.
Hilde frowned, displeased. The next moment, the ice melted as it met the scorching magma. However, due to the difference in levels, even with the elemental advantage, the melting speed was not fast.
The water vapor from the melting ice enveloped the entire base, blurring the view. Before Hilde could react again, Xian Wenrui, who had been ignored, suddenly attacked the warship in the air with a water dragon.
What impact could such a low-level water-based ability have on them? Riva, who had been forbidden to make any moves, was now closest to the water column and stepped forward to cleave the attack in half.
But the moment Riva cleaved the water column, she felt as if she had struck a thin film.
Before she could react, the scalding hot liquid salt, which had been encased in magma, exploded violently the moment it came into contact with water.
The entire column of water surrounding their starship exploded with tremendous force. Riva, who was closest to the explosion, was burned by the high temperature and powerful blast.
Although such an attack could not damage the starship, it blocked their vision, and Hilde's outstretched mental energy was also blocked.
He immediately cleaved through the mist, but his superpower was ice, and the scalding salt water floated around him, with constant explosions echoing around him.
There were still some young nobles on the starship who had come to train. At this moment, they let out a series of embarrassed curses. Hilde had a stern face. She had to ensure the safety of the entire starship first, so she was forced to give up the pursuit.
Once all the mist dissipated, the low-level creatures that had been toying with the higher-level creatures on the starship had all vanished, and the high-level creatures who considered themselves superior now looked increasingly grim.
They never expected to be outmaneuvered by such a low-level creature.
Riva was the most furious of them all. She had suffered multiple injuries from the explosion, and her eyes were blazing with rage.
"Damn it, these damned humans, all they do is hide, weak and filthy things. If they ever show up in front of me again, I'll kill them!"
Cecil was in a great mood when he saw those insects who had been mocking their mission failure get their comeuppance, and he started mocking them without distinguishing friend from foe.
