I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 251: 250: The Demon Clan Sneak Attack!

Translator: 549690339

After Du Gang and the others received their location in the wild area, the others gradually dispersed.

Although some people were not very satisfied with their occupation of the first location, it did not impact their vested interests, so no one stepped forward to complain.

Even the last team, which was squeezed out of the Wolf Forest, didn’t say much and willingly went to the Chicken Pen Wild Area.

“Refreshes every hour, I wonder how strong these wild wolves are…”

Du Gang chuckled, saying, “It should be fine, I’ve asked around, these wild wolves are only of the Destroyer’s level…”

Upon hearing this, the others sighed in relief.

It would be rather amusing if they occupied a spot only to find out they couldn’t even defeat the wild beasts.

Not long after, a three-meter tall wild wolf spawned.

It looked very ordinary, just like an average wolf.

“Wham!”

Niu Dazhuang made a quick decision, swiftly carrying his giant shield forward.

“Long Aotian, you’re up!”

Du Gang didn’t rush everyone into action, instead, he allowed Long Aotian to test the waters first.

After hearing so, Long Aotian did not hesitate and promptly executed his strongest attack.

With Dazhuang’s giant shield suppressing, the wild wolf didn’t even notice Long Aotian preparing his attack.

“Boom!”

A giant claw mark appeared and in a blink of an eye, hit the wolf.

“Crack!”

A large wound appeared, but the wild wolf didn’t howl and continued to attack meticulously.

“No emotions? No pain sensation?”

Du Gang pondered, “Could it be some kind of specific ‘program’?”

Without delaying any further, he quickly turned his head to the crouching Little Hawk King and said, “Ying Ba, your turn!”

Upon hearing this, the Little Hawk King glances around, after ensuring no one was paying attention, he quickly followed suit and launched an attack.

“Boom!”

This time, the wild wolf exploded, turning into a beam of light and disappearing.

With its disappearance, colorful lights suddenly appeared on the ground.

“Essence!”

They all looked at the various lights with excited faces.

“Three, four, five, it’s really five!”

Du Gang laughed, “Perfect, one for each of us to try!”

Soon, everyone had picked up an essence.

“How do we use this? Do we eat it?”

Long Aotian looked excited, holding the essence as if he was going to swallow it.

“If you’re not scared of it going through your stomach, then eat it!”

Du Gang laughed, “You don’t eat it, you simply absorb it by holding it in your hand…”

After saying that, he swiftly clutched the essence tightly and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

“Boom!”

Just as he began to absorb, a surge of pure energy rushed into his divinity orifice.

“Feels so good~~!”

At the side, Long Aotian couldn’t help but moan as he absorbed the energy.

Not only him, everyone expressed similar reactions.

At this moment, they were like desert travelers who were parched for water, absorbing it crazily.

“Whoosh~!”

However, this satisfying absorption only lasted for a minute.

“Is that it? Was that all?”

Du Gang felt the essence in his hand gradually disappear as he absorbed the energy.

The others were the same, all waking up around the same time.

“One minute, to raise one percent of a Naer’s divine power, not bad…”

Dazhuang was a little excited, “One essence has actually increased one percent of the Naer Divine Power. If converted into money, each of us just swallowed one hundred Divine Crystals!”

Qiao Bing was also a little delighted, “This is only a single essence, these monsters respawn every hour, that means, we can increase one Naer Divine Power in at most five days!”

“Exactly, to increase one Naer Divine Power in five days means that we can become Controllers in just 250 days!”

Du Gang nodded, smiled, and said: “During our free time, why don’t we practice our techniques and try to comprehend them, see if we can speed up…”

In the subsequent time, Du Gang and the others began their diligent cultivation in Wolf Forest, all of them maintaining the rate of increasing one Naer Divine Power every five days.

In a short period of one hundred days, each of them had increased their Divine Power by twenty Naer.

Twenty Naer Divine Power, to Qiao Bing and Dazhuang, could not bring an increase in their strength, only volume.

However, for Du Gang, Long Aotian, and Little Hawk King, this increase of twenty Naer Divine Power had directly elevated their abilities to the level where they can unleash a technique using seventy Naer Divine Power.

At this very moment, they were only a step away from becoming Controllers!

While they were waiting for the wolves to respawn, all of a sudden, a clamor came from a distance.

“The Demon Clan is here, some powerful being is leading a team to invade…”

“Brothers, charge!”

Upon hearing this sound, Du Gang and the others stopped their cultivation and hastily stood up, looking towards the outskirts.

At this moment, the 2nd seat, Fu Rong, suddenly called out.

“Du Gang, the Demon Clan is here, if you have guts, go and fight!”

After saying this, Fu Rong’s squad at the 2nd position quickly ran towards the outskirts.

“What should we do?”

Long Aotian quickly asked, he was now completely too lazy to think independently, in any situation, he would wait for Du Gang to make a decision.

After all, in the past two years, all of Du Gang’s decisions were basically the best ones, maximizing their power increase.

The others were also in the same situation, waiting for Du Gang’s decision.

Du Gang shrugged, laughed, and said: “We’re in the deepest part of the U-shaped valley, other than going out there’s no other option!”

He continued: “Just right, we’ve been practicing for three months, everybody must be bored, let’s break out and see what these members of the Demon Clan are capable of, daring to invade our wilderness area!”

“Okay!”

Long Aotian and Little Hawk King both were looking excited, after a full one hundred days of practice, if the increase in Divine Power wasn’t too much, they would have wanted to go out and move around long ago!

“Let’s go!”

Still in the previous formation, with Dazhuang leading, but Du Gang gave advice.

“Dazhuang, once you come across the Demon Clan, don’t act impulsively, wait for my command to make a move, all of you too, don’t blindly charge. If there’s too many from the Demon Clan, we stick together and leave…”

With a simple briefing, everyone started moving.

“Charge~~!!”

As they approached the outskirts, the sound of the battle was getting louder.

In some areas, there were already fights between the Demon Clan and human squads.

“Puff Puff Puff!”

The battle was fierce, but the strength on both sides was uneven, people on the human squad’s side were being harvested like leeks.

“Damn, these guys are at the very least Controllers, and there are even a lot of them that are Chaos Controllers!”

The excitement from Long Aotian’s Chaos Force suddenly extinguished.

“These strong Demons, how do we fight?”

“Fight?”

Seeing this, Du Gang decisively said: “Don’t fight, run!”

With that, he immediately ran past Dazhuang, and ran in a certain direction.

“Follow Fu Rong and go…”

As Du Gang ran, he pointed at the rapidly escaping Fu Rong squad ahead.

“Dazhuang, put away your shield!”

After he shouted, he took the lead and ran.

The others quickly followed him.

Luckily, there were not many Demon Clan squads here, and those who had invaded basically all had opponents, so they couldn’t manage to deal with them for the time being.

Not only them, at this moment in Wolf Forest, most of the squads were essentially running towards the outskirts.

Although Wolf Forest was U-shaped, its overall area was quite large, and as long as everyone dispersed, it wouldn’t be easy for the Demon Clan to block them.

“Damn, there are bunches of Controllers and Operators in front, not even a Destroyer to be seen…”

Little Hawk King was eager to confront these members of the Demon Clan, but he found that all the squads were tough and there was basically no weak team.

Du Gang shook his head and said, “The weakest who can cross the river are Controllers, and they are all the best among them. Don’t even think about fighting them. You must escape immediately…”

“Where are our strong fighters?”

Niu Dazhuang was a bit apprehensive. In this Wolf Forest, the power of the Demon Clan was too overwhelming, and their human squad was not a threat at all.

Du Gang explained, “Normally, the level one monsters are mainly the Destroyers and Controllers. Our Controllers are basically fighting level two monsters near the river. Those who are even stronger are near Big Dragon…”

“There aren’t many powerful fighters in our local area, but news will eventually spread. However, by the time our powerful fighters come together, we will have been wiped out…”

He seriously said, “So, we have to escape. Or else we’ll die here!”

The other four were instantly taken aback. Without saying more, they quickly picked up the pace.

So far, none of them have regenerated their physical bodies; they are still in their original forms, so no one wants to switch bodies.

“Damn it, if my dragon body is stolen, it must be worth more than two hundred Divine Crystals, right?!”

At this moment, while running away, Long Aotian also cursed and complained. His dragon body had been specifically strengthened.

Du Gang nodded and said, “Absolutely worth more than two hundred Divine Crystals. By the time we regenerate, the cost will be significant. If you can avoid dying, then avoid it!”

The party of five escaped following the path of Fu Rong’s team, which made their journey relatively easy. Soon, they reached the midway point. The surrounding dense forest became increasingly open, meaning their chances of escape improved.

“The good news is, although the invading demon squads are strong, their numbers are few…”

While the Wolf Forest has fewer monsters compared to a chicken coop, there are still hundreds of squads that stay here. As it seems, there are only twenty or thirty Demon Clan squads.

Quickly, they all started sprinting again, but suddenly their steps slowed down.

“What’s wrong?”

Distracted, Long Aotian bumped into Du Gang.

Pointing to a group of people who had stopped in front, Du Gang frowned and said, “There’s something happening up ahead!”

Everyone looked forward and saw several hundred of their own people standing in a line, confronting tens of the Demon Clan members.

“It turns out there are not only twenty or thirty Demon Clan squads invading, but also twenty or thirty more guarding the gate!”

“Ula!”

“Ula!”

On the other side, over one hundred Demon Clan members scattered and completely blocked the small exit.

They were confident, standing in a line, not eager to kill, just preventing everyone from leaving.

On the human side, there were four to five hundred people, but their strength was inferior to the Demon Clan’s.

The Demon Clan members on the other side, all one hundred plus of them, were Controllers, while on their side, the majority were Destroyers and Handlers.

Seeing the hesitant crowd, Du Gang frowned, looked behind him, and noticed that the twenty or so demon squads that had previously rushed into the dense forest were almost done killing off the human squads inside.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and directly shouted loudly, “Everyone, don’t hesitate! We have to charge! Life and death are predestined, fortune comes from heaven. If we charge together, we still have a chance to escape. If not, when those demons behind us are freed up, none of us will escape!”

Everyone hearing this recognized Du Gang’s team.

“That’s right!”

The first to respond to Du Gang was unexpectedly Fu Rong’s team, which had some previous conflicts.

“If we charge together, some of us might survive. If we continue to wait, we really are done!”

After Fu Rong’s team spoke up, the other squads basically all responded. It wasn’t that Fu Rong had prestige. Instead, everyone was smart enough to know staying here meant certain death. They still had a chance if they charged together.

“Since that’s the case, let’s fight them!”

“Right, fight! At worst, we’ll abandon these bodies…”

Immediately, various shouts of enthusiasm filled the area.

Seeing this, Du Gang decisively shouted, “Good, you are all heroes! Today, although we are not as strong as them, we cannot lose face as humans. Let those of the Demon Clan see what we can do!”

“Yes, let the Demon Clan witness our prowess!”

As soon as Du Gang finished speaking, many in the crowd were inspired and started chanting.

“Kill, today, I, Old Zhang, will go against heaven’s will and slay immortals!”

A rough-looking man, no longer containing his fervor, was moved by Du Gang’s words. Without saying more, he lifted his axe and charged towards the Demon Clan.

“Haha, good, today, I, Old Li, will also go against heaven’s will and slay immortals!”

“Count me in, even if I, Old Wang, die, I want these demons to know how formidable I am…”

Suddenly, the originally quiet group perked up. Led by some enthusiastic men, they started charging at the Demon Clan.

“Old Niu goes as well…”

With bloodshot eyes, Niu Dazhuang quickly summoned his shield and prepared to charge.

But before he could take a step, he was pulled back by Du Gang, who whispered, “Don’t rush so quickly. Take it slow. Put away your shield so you don’t attract attention. Let’s follow Fu Rong’s team!”

His goal was clear, to escape amidst the chaos. At this moment, although Fu Rong and his team appeared to be ready to fight the Demon Clan to the death, their speed had slowed considerably, not even maintaining a third of their previous speed.

It was evident that they, like Du Gang, planned to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Niu Dazhuang instantly calmed down and followed Du Gang’s plan.

Swiftly, their team moved forward alongside Fu Rong’s team.

Ahead, the frontline teams of the human race – a good two to three hundred strong – charged forward, engaging over a hundred demons.

“Pu! Pu! Pu~!”

The difference in strength between the two sides was immense. As soon as the battle commenced, a significant number of humans fell in pools of blood.

However, Du Gang kept a constant eye on Fu Rong’s team. Having spent so long here, they had undoubtedly gained valuable experience; following their lead seemed the safest option.

Sure enough, after both sides began to fight, Fu Rong’s team and some other shrewd teams quickened their pace. They sprinted towards the gaps between the battling demons and humans, aiming to escape the peripheral battleground.

“Now!”

With a low utterance from Du Gang, he called out, “Follow them, run!”

Instantaneously, all five of them scattered and ran for their lives.

“Whooosh!!!”

However, Fu Rong’s team was not solely focused on escape. As they fled, they launched formidable Divine Power attacks on the demons that threatened them from a distance.

It was not that they had become reckless and wanted to fight to the death; they simply wanted to delay any demons who might try to stop them by several seconds.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

At that moment, the Demon Clan’s team in front of them quickly assigned two demons to fend off these attacks.

“Hoo-rah!”

One of them immediately attacked Fu Rong’s team. The other one spotted Du Gang’s crew and charged towards them.

Just as Du Gang was contemplating his response, Fu Rong’s team suddenly dispersed. One of them encountered the demon head-on, while the remaining four slipped past and ran for their lives without looking back.

Seeing this, Du Gang furrowed his brow; who would make the sacrifice?

At that moment, Dazhuang volunteered resolutely, shouting “You guys go, I’ll hold them off!”

The others were taken aback and somewhat reluctant to let him make the sacrifice.

However, Du Gang realized the critical point in an instant. “Go, Dazhuang will take the lead this. Besides the resources for body sculpting provided by the team, he will be rewarded with four times the resources…”

Hearing this, the others came to a sudden realization. Sacrifice could still lead to resurrection through body sculpting, so they dispensed with their reservations and followed Du Gang’s lead to escape.

“Hoo-rah!”

The Demon rapidly closing in on them was not about to let them escape. Ignoring Dazhuang, he let out a loud roar and charged at Du Gang and the others.

“Humph!”

Seeing this, Dazhuang let out an icy snort. Crying out, “I’m holding the fort here, there’s no escape!”

While shouting, he was somewhat thrilled because he was but a Destroyer and his opponent was a Controller.

“Boom!”

With a tremendous sound, Dazhuang’s giant shield materialized in an instant, halting the charge of the Demon who was bearing down on Du Gang and the others.

“Go!”

Seeing this, Du Gang uttered a command and quickly circumvented the impasse, running at full speed.

Upon seeing this, the other three didn’t hesitate. They quickly deployed their skills and accelerated.

“Whooosh!”

In just two seconds, all four of them successfully escaped the encirclement of the Demon Clan.

As they were about to get far away, Du Gang glanced back. Dazhuang had just retracted his shield. Looking at Dazhuang’s body, it had already been cleaved in half by the Demon Clan.

He was dead!

A feeling of despair filled Du Gang’s heart. This was the first time someone from their team had died in over two years. Though his spirit could be resurrected, it wouldn’t be in his original body.

“Dazhuang!”

Qiao Bing instinctively called out, concerned.

Upon seeing this, Du Gang quickly instructed, “Don’t linger, go straight back to the Communication Zone. We’ll resurrect Dazhuang when we get there!”

At that moment, Dazhuang’s spirit ascended into the sky, rapidly heading towards the base camp of the human race.

“Huh?”

Du Gang paused for a moment, then quickly realized that in the Abyss, a body was required for support. A lone spirit would be repelled by the Abyss’s forces.

In a short while, Dazhuang’s spirit vanished in the sky. Not only him, at that moment myriad spirits ascended into the sky; all belonged to the humans whose bodies had been destroyed.
