Meanwhile, the human kings and several Human Emperors watching from the side also began a tea chat revolving around Lin Zhan.
Holding his teacup, Hou Yi asked Yu Longyan, "Brother Yan, where did you dig up such a scoundrel? This kid's schemes are far more devious than yours were in your youth."
Human Emperor Yu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, indeed, Uncle Yan. Back then, Grandpa Di Yao said you were a one-in-a-million scoundrel with smoke coming out of your nose, and a belly full of bad ideas. I never expected your successor to surpass you so much." Su Dan novel network
Yu Longyan looked at these two illustrious Human Emperors and couldn't help but sigh, "Who taught you two to praise people like this? Even the fool Kuafu Human Emperor speaks more pleasantly than you two."
Hou Yi waved his hand, "Brother Yan, don't dwell on the details. But the cost of those contraptions this kid used must be high. Does this kid come from a wealthy family? Did Dixian skim some off the top?"
Dixian said helplessly, "Ancestor Yi, when I go out, I can only slaughter a few kings from the myriad races to get some money to support my wife. At other times, I'm not even as wealthy as this kid."
"What are you so nervous about? So what if he skimmed some off? Besides us old geezers, you're the pillar of the human race. Looking at your pathetic state, do you still need an explanation? With your courage, you truly deserve to be the Human King who almost led the human race to ruin." Hou Yi harbored a long-standing resentment towards Dixian for leading the human race on a downward path.
The Black Dragon King looked at Hou Yi and said, "Hou Yi, you're truly mistaken about Dixian. This kid Lin Zhan is much wealthier than Dixian now."
"Really? Old Second Black, don't try to trick me." Hou Yi looked skeptical.
Seeing Hou Yi's disbelieving expression, the Black Dragon Emperor said angrily, "Why would I lie to a dimwit like you? This kid has been killing, arsoning, blackmailing, kidnapping, bribing, accepting bribes, robbing, and ransacking since the day he debuted. There's nothing he hasn't done."
"Even that little Xiangliu who escaped from you back then, now renamed Yamata no Orochi, is being blackmailed by this kid into working for the human royal court." The Black Dragon King then gave a detailed assessment of Lin Zhan's professional capabilities.
Finally, after a unanimous vote by the several Human Emperor ancestors and human kings, they decided that once Lin Zhan's strength increased to a point where he could protect himself and he had children, he would be assigned to the battlefield of the myriad races. They didn't want him staying at home, lest he cause trouble for humanity.
On the other side, in the hunting battlefield, nearly half of the allied forces of the myriad races were surrounding the metal tomb, digging holes to find Lin Zhan.
The remaining half, instead of going up the mountain, followed the mountain range towards the second forest.
All the flying units of the allied forces also took to the sky, searching everywhere for the foolish bird that had dropped the bombs earlier.
The Demon Commander, the Orc Brute, and the Death Knight, three bigwigs of the allied forces of the myriad races, looked at the three-meter-deep crater on the mountain with dark expressions.
The Demon Commander said with a dark face, "How many people have entered the tomb? Can more go in?"
The Orc Brute also replied with a dark face, "Three thousand people have already entered. At most, a thousand more can go in, but what's the use? We still can't find the person."
The Death Knight continued, "I'll send in another two thousand undead. This time, we'll stuff every corner. I'll see where this human kid can run."
"Hmm." The three commanders waved their hands, and another two thousand smaller undead from various races emerged from the undead ranks and entered the tomb.
"Stop pushing."
"Don't let the ones behind come in, there's no room."
"Damn it, the place is full, and they're still sending people in. Who gave that moronic order?" Curses echoed from inside the tomb, which was packed with people.
Just as the faces of the three commanders of the allied forces of the myriad races grew even uglier, Lin Da Shao gently said to Xiao Bao, "Bao, is it time?"
Xiao Bao's honest face showed a smug expression, then he took out a jade tablet engraved with complex runes and threw it into his big mouth, chewing it with a crunch and swallowing it.
Lin Zhan and the others grinned, looking at Xiao Bao, secretly admiring the brother's good teeth. But dared to eat something from Old Zhang's place, wasn't he afraid of food safety issues?
Just as Xiao Bao swallowed his delicious meal, the mountain peak of the metal tomb shook, and then a super-huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The entire mountaintop was blown to powder by a violent explosion.
The metal tomb and the myriad races' army inside vanished without a trace. The space around the mountaintop was filled with cracks, and sharp spatial rifts carrying destructive energy inflicted immense casualties on the surrounding troops of the myriad races.
Of the twelve thousand soldiers of the myriad races who had ascended the mountaintop, less than three thousand remained. It wasn't that the power of Number Four was insufficient, but these three thousand were the precious treasures of their respective races, with powerful backing and many valuable assets, which saved their lives at the critical moment.
Lin Zhan watched the result of Number Four's explosion through the observation array he had set up and said to the three little ones, "Brothers, quickly record the data and investigate the explosion effect. This time, it exploded in a completely sealed environment. The data collected can be recorded as special experimental results."
Xiao Bao, while rapidly recording and analyzing, said, "This time, Number Four exploded within the metal tomb. Although the metal tomb blocked some of the shockwaves, the compression by the metal should have strengthened the explosion's power, but the attack range of the shockwave would be correspondingly reduced."
Lin Zhan nodded in satisfaction after hearing Xiao Bao's report, then asked Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin, "What are your opinions?"
Xiao Jin hurriedly said, "Yeah, awesome."
Xiao Hei cast a contemptuous glance at Xiao Jin, then said with a serious expression, "Yeah, truly awesome."
Seeing Lin Zhan's increasingly grim expression, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei quickly said, "Boss, leave the analysis of the second explosion in the water to me."
"Yes, boss, leave the analysis of the third explosion in the deep forest to me. Detonating firecrackers in a metal can isn't our specialty, that's Xiao Bao's job."
Lin Zhan nodded in satisfaction after hearing Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei's explanation.
On the other side, the three commanders of the allied forces of the myriad races looked at the scene with tearful eyes and said, "This kid is too ruthless! Is he planning to perish together with us?"
"Probably. Such immense power, it's clear the human race detonated something. We were all blown apart like this, he, as the detonator, might have been blown to smithereens."
"Alas, although we won, we suffered nearly 14,000 casualties, almost half our forces. How will we explain this when we return?"
As the three commanders were sighing, Lin Zhan's voice echoed throughout the space.
"You idiotic deer of the myriad races, who said I died? I think you're ugly and wishful thinking."
