Doomsday Code

Chapter 920 Abyss Crisis

Kui Niu spat out the snowflakes he had sucked into his mouth, made several "pui" sounds, and then looked around.

Behind them, all they had to do was turn around and they could see the towering Great Wall standing amidst the snow and wind of the North.

Seeing the Great Wall from this distance is like seeing it right in front of you, and if you look closely, you can see densely packed white material piled up outside the Great Wall.

Upon closer inspection, one discovers that the dense white material consists of the bones left behind by the long-decayed corpses.

After Chen Cheng saw the skeletons below, he estimated that the number of skeletons was an astronomical figure.

"Are those all the corpses of the orcs who came to attack the city?"

Chen Cheng looked at the mountains of white bones and asked.

However, Kui Niu shook his head and said:

"They can no longer be called savage beastmen; they have all been corrupted into dark demons."

"And this snow-capped mountain we're standing on, along with other snow-capped mountains, are the main parts of those Black Demon skeletons."

Kui Niu stomped his foot, and soon the snow beneath his feet was trampled, revealing the gleaming white bones beneath.

Chen Cheng squatted down, brushed away the snow, and took out a thigh bone from the mountain of bones below.

Although the bone is only the size of an average adult, it is very heavy, weighing over a thousand pounds. Clearly, its owner was a powerful warrior in life.

Chen Cheng took out a pair of Warrior brand glasses from his spatial ring, activated them, and began to analyze the bone in his hand using the glasses' functions.

However, the data that appeared in front of him was not abnormal. Chen Cheng then forcefully broke the bone, revealing the bone fragments and the marrow inside.

Although the body had long since decomposed into bones, the marrow inside was still fresh, and one could still see that it had a bright silvery sheen.

This is clearly a characteristic of the marrow of an epic-level warrior.

Meanwhile, a special analysis appeared on the glasses Chen Cheng was wearing, indicating that there was a special substance remaining in the bone marrow. Chen Cheng knew that this should be the source of infection he was looking for.

At this moment, no one else understood what Chen Cheng was doing, or why he was touching and examining a bone. However, seeing that Commander Kui Niu had not spoken, they waited quietly to the side.

Chen Cheng then took out a potion container from the lich's collection from his spatial ring and filled it with all the bone marrow.

"Alright, let's continue on our way, General."

Kui Niu merely glanced at the jade bottle that Chen Cheng had put away, then nodded and said:

"A forced march, heading for the far northern abyss."

This time, Kui Niu didn't fly with Chen Cheng and the other eight. Instead, the eight of them used various means of travel, following Kui Niu northward like gusts of wind.

What they didn't know was that while they were heading north, the orcs were preparing to migrate south with their families.

Because at this moment, the far north abyss had become completely out of control. The abyss was like a raging volcano, constantly spewing out countless black demons.

At the same time, the terrifying aura within the abyss was also invading outwards, and the barbarian king, who originally only wanted to stay behind alone to cover the rear, could no longer do so.

The other orc kings were also forced to stay behind to buy time for the sake of their tribe's survival.

As the scars on this world, the Abyss, grew larger and larger, the Barbarian King felt the weariness in his arm, and a sense of annihilation began to grow in his heart.

It wasn't that he was afraid of dying, but that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to buy enough time for his people.

Although he no longer had the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe to enhance him, his fists were still invincible, but there were too many Black Demons and the Abyss was too vast.

And this is only the initial stage of the abyss's eruption. Once the abyss truly awakens, he doesn't know if there will be a second Thorn Flower in this world.

Just as he felt that human strength was running out, the other clan leaders also turned back.

Although the orcs boast of having hundreds of royal families, less than 30% of these royal families have actually reached the legendary level.

And that's all the Orcs have up their sleeve now.

The barbarian king faced the abyss alone because he wanted these royal chieftains to lead the orcs to survival.

Because once these powerful chieftains are gone, the orc race is already burdened with the name of a sinful race. Without the protection of strong forces, the orc race may not be able to continue.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

The Barbarian King blasted tens of thousands of Black Demons into dust with a single punch, then glared at the tribal chiefs and roared.

"Barbarian King, do you still think you're our king? What we do is none of your business. You should worry about yourself first and stop being so presumptuous."

Although the Lion King spoke with disdain, he bravely took the lead and directly drove back the Black Demon on the Barbarian King's left.

The other royal clan leaders also took turns attacking, driving back the black demons that had overflowed from the abyss.

“The Lion King is right. You are no longer our barbarian king. What we do is none of your business.”

However, the next moment, perhaps the Lord of the Abyss felt provoked, and terrifying tentacles stretched out from the depths of the abyss, strangling at everyone.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a commotion; even their clan's records of the Abyss did not mention anything like it.

"Be careful, these tentacles are strong and dangerous. Those who are too weak, retreat. The rest of you, follow me and cut these tentacles."

The barbarian king began to command them without even realizing it, and the royal clan chiefs naturally accepted his command.

Those clan leaders who had not reached the legendary level retreated, while those who had begun to concentrate their efforts, under the command of the Barbarian King, to cut off the tentacles growing from the abyss.

However, the tentacles are merely a facade. The true existence of these tentacles lies in the essential power of the abyss, which is the power of a god and is fundamentally different from the power of the Barbarian King and his allies.

So no matter how powerful the Barbarian King and his forces are, as long as their power is not divine, they cannot defeat these tentacles.

Of course, it's not that there's really no way to deal with these tentacles. It's quite simple to deal with them; just use power of the same quality to fight them.

After all, this thing is not a living being; it is merely a manifestation of the abyss awakening and the dissipation of its power.

“Use sacrificial vessels.”

The barbarian king attacked several times but failed to cut off a single tentacle. He then discovered the true nature of these tentacles and spoke to the crowd.

However, the orcs of today are no longer what they used to be, and many of their ritual artifacts have been destroyed in order to maintain the suppression of the abyss.

The last remaining treasures of each tribe are no longer in the hands of these tribal chiefs; they have all been passed on to their descendants.

None of them intended to leave alive after returning. Since they were going to die anyway, why waste the clan's last trump card, the sacrificial artifact?

So now they are facing a life-or-death dilemma, not because they are not strong enough, but because they are being crushed by the sheer power of the enemy.

This is like a ton of water and a regular rebar.

No matter how much heavier water is than rebar, it doesn't have the hardness of steel and can't cause any damage, while rebar can easily cut through water.
