Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 118 Legion War: Li Shuai's Clever Strategist Defeats Chu Xuan
Above the sky, Su Bai stood behind the 'little monk'.

The 'little monk' possessed by an ancient witch spirit stood at the forefront of the 30,000-strong army, leading them through the air, his body constantly radiating a bright white light.

Su Bai squinted and could see the profound runes contained within the radiance.

The ancient sorcerer Zelas is a powerful dark mage, unlike Chu Xuan who is a sorcerer comparable to a traditional cultivator, but rather a dark mage, a profession derived from arcane magic.

Orthodox cultivators and arcane masters are actually metaphysical scientists who study rune technology and use it to accomplish all sorts of incredible things.

If Chu Xuan's knowledge of runes is strong enough, and his understanding and application of runes reach a certain level, he will become the nemesis of all arcane mage-derived professions.

It's roughly equivalent to a mage casting spells by following a predetermined combination of runes and steps, while an arcanist understands the underlying meaning of the runes and can directly disrupt the mage's rune combinations within their domain.

Magicians who cannot cast spells become weaklings, at the mercy of arcane mages, hence the name "nemesis."

At present, Chu Xuan is still far from being able to restrict the ancient witch spirits.

Withdrawing his gaze from the 'little monk's' back, Su Bai took the opportunity to continue compressing the viscous vampire energy within his body.

It must be said that the 'theory of body energy transformation' that the ancient witch spirit had previously instilled in him came in very handy.

This allows him to gain a deeper understanding of energy and makes it easier for him to compress it, preventing energy from running rampant.

After thoroughly understanding and mastering it, one can even develop the skill of 'transforming into a swarm of bats', which is extremely worthwhile.

If this knowledge were imparted to the main god, it would probably require at least a D-level side quest.

Before long, they arrived at the battlefield.

The little monk at the front waved his hand gently, and an invisible, massive magic enveloped them all, suspending them in the sky, motionless, looking down.

"This is invisibility magic." A detached voice came from the 'little monk'. "The Crocodile God is a reckless brute with no plan. He is reckless in his hatred of death. Let them fight first."

"We hide in the sky and reap the benefits of others' misfortune."

In fact, Su Bai had always had a question about the 'God War': why did the 'gods' need to build their own legions? Couldn't they just fight directly?
However, given the current situation, even the ancient witch spirits who intended to reap the benefits have no choice but to deploy an army and prepare to join the battle at the appropriate time.

This suggests that the strength of an army affects something about the 'gods' themselves, ultimately impacting their overall power.

Judging from the results, the stronger the army, the stronger the god.

As Su Bai was pondering, he looked down and saw the other two sides of the God War, the God of Death and the God of Crocodile, arrive.

On one side was an army of 100,000 undead, divided into ten square formations, standing majestically on the desert.

They exuded a black aura of death, which permeated and intertwined to form a vast black domain.

It gives people a feeling of horror and eeriness.

On the other side are eight thousand humanoid crocodile warriors, each possessing explosive power.

They consisted of only one square formation, but their members were generally two to three meters tall and wielded cold weapons such as spiked clubs, giant axes, and giant hammers.

Although they are fewer in number than the undead army, their ferocity and bravery are formidable.

"That's... Xiao Honglu and the others?" Su Bai's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the people standing in front of the 100,000-strong army of undead. The three leading figures were Xiao Honglu, Zhao Yingkong, and Ming Yanwei.

The three possessed extraordinary presences, making them generals in the undead army.

Looking at the eight thousand humanoid crocodile warriors, the leader, an ape-beast-human hybrid, wore black armor, wielded a double-bladed giant axe, and had a red divine core atop his head—it was Zheng Zha.

Moreover, Su Bai had a wide field of vision, and with a quick glance, he saw Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, and others hiding behind the sand dunes at the edge of the battlefield.

They also entered the battlefield, waiting for their chance to strike.

The two armies met, exchanged no words, and immediately went to war.

Holding a magic staff, Xiao Honglu commanded a ranged 10,000-strong squadron of undead soldiers, which consisted entirely of ranged dark undead.

In an instant, countless green flames, dark lightning, and brown water, like a dense barrage of arrows, shot into the sky from the undead army, forming a beautiful parabola before landing within the ranks of the humanoid crocodile warriors.

The humanoid crocodile warriors cannot attack from a distance, but they are prepared for it. The crocodile god is a veteran of countless battles and a valiant general; even a reckless man has learned how to deal with ranged attacks.
Just as various ranged dark spells were about to fall upon the army, some humanoid crocodile warriors raised their long-handled weapons and began to twist and rotate them in a circle, powered by their hands.

It was like the fan blades of a helicopter, blocking most of the ranged dark magic.

The portion that wasn't blocked struck the crocodile warriors, causing a certain number of casualties.

"Charge!" The crocodile warriors, fearless and led by Zheng Zha, charged forward like sharp swords towards the undead army.

After surviving several waves of ranged dark magic attacks, the crocodile warriors charged into the ranks of the 100,000-strong undead army and began their slaughter.

Relying on their superior numbers, the undead army began to encircle the enemy in an orderly manner, and under Xiao Honglu's arrangement, they carried out the tactic of splitting up and annihilating them.

The two sides began their battle in a mighty force, their battle cries shaking the heavens, and a blood-red aura was born on the battlefield.

Su Bai hovered high in the sky, watching the battle between the two armies below, his mind reeling.

When he was unilaterally killing, he could wipe out all living beings within a kilometer radius with a single move without feeling anything special. But now, seeing two armies clashing, the scene was truly awe-inspiring.

……

The edge of an ancient Egyptian map, the Amshe Oasis.

Chu Xuan, Ling Dian, Li Shuaixi and others had already arrived here. They killed many of the monkeys guarding the pyramid and successfully reached the pyramid.

"Colonel Chu, what do we do next?" Ba Wang asked, a cigar dangling from his lips, as he stood beside Chu Xuan and watched.

Entering the pyramid will trigger the quest to 'kill the Scorpion King,' but they do not have the weapon 'Spear of Judgment' to kill the Scorpion King.

Chu Xuan gazed calmly at the towering pyramid, then replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "Don't you think this pyramid is beautiful?"

The overlord looked bewildered at the pyramid that was hundreds of meters high in front of him and asked blankly, "It's all yellow sand and stone, a triangular building, isn't it beautiful?"

Looking up at the top of the pyramid, the Overlord's eyes lit up when he saw the enormous diamond that required him to hold it in his arms. "Beautiful!"

Chu Xuan's gaze was not on the diamonds, but remained fixed on the pyramid itself.

The beauty he's referring to isn't the beauty of that huge diamond.

In Chu Xuan's eyes, the pyramid was covered with mysterious runes, and those mysterious runes were what Chu Xuan meant by "beautiful".

“There is indeed runic technology here,” Chu Xuan murmured as he walked toward the pyramid.

Li Shuaixi, pale-faced and thin, had been standing to the side like a ghost. Suddenly, he spoke up: "We need to test the strength of the Demon Scorpion Emperor and see what kind of mission the main god will trigger."

"In 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,' the legendary sorcerer Imhotep challenged the Scorpion King, was stripped of his magic, and fought the Scorpion King in his mortal form."

"And what about us, the enhanced beings of the main god?"

Li Shuaixi's words were very organized, which attracted the attention of Bawang, Lingdian, and others.

“I’ll go, I’ll try to find out this information,” Li Shuaixi volunteered calmly. Chu Xuan, who was walking towards the pyramid, stopped, turned back to look at Li Shuaixi, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, “Okay.”

Ba Wang and Ling Dian frowned as they watched all this, their faces showing hesitation.

Li Shuaixi had already resolutely walked towards the entrance of the pyramid.

"That's strange." Ba Wang raised his hand and scratched his head, saying, "Ever since the last time in the alien world, Li Shuaixi has become taciturn. Why would he suddenly propose to take the initiative and test the waters this time?"

"Isn't this much different from being used as bait?"

"Isn't he the one who hates being bait the most?"

No one answered him; Chu Xuan had already lay down on the surface of the pyramid to study the patterns of the runes he had observed.

As Li Shuaixi entered the pyramid, he paused at the entrance. Before him was the main hall inside the pyramid, and the first thing that caught his eye was a stone sculpture of a half-human, half-scorpion, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a scorpion.

A red carpet with mysterious patterns was laid on the ground.

Deep within the main hall, there is a tall, sealed stone door. In 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor', when Imhotep walked onto the red carpet to challenge the Scorpion King, the half-human, half-scorpion Scorpion King smashed through the stone door and rushed out.

Li Shuaixi's eyes were filled with trepidation, which transformed into trepidation, determination, and ruthlessness two seconds later.

He stepped forward, onto the red carpet, and shouted, "I challenge the Scorpion King!"

Rumble…

The next moment, a huge tremor was heard from behind the stone gate deep inside. A short while later, a half-human, half-scorpion creature, about four meters tall, smashed through the stone gate and appeared.

At the same time, the God's mission prompt sounded in Li Shuaixi's mind.

[Kill the Scorpion King within three days to complete the Scorpion King side quest ahead of schedule. Reward: one A-rank side quest and 12000 reward points.]

[If not completed, one A-level side quest will be deducted, along with 12000 reward points.]

[The challenge is to step inside the pyramid and strip away the enhancements that were directly redeemed.]

Li Shuaixi felt a surge of energy flowing through his body, but he did not lack strength.

His power comes from the enhancement of dragon blood and Chu Xuan's experiments. It is a hybrid of traits from a humanoid version of the T-virus Alien Queen, rather than being directly obtained from the main god.

This allowed him to retain almost all of his strength.

"Hahaha, Chu Xuan, the heavens are against you! You've finally found your chance to retaliate!"

Li Shuaixi pondered the mission information for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned ferocious.

In the alien world, Li Shuaixi was used as bait by Chu Xuan. At that time, he had no way to fight back and silently endured it.

Returning to the alien world, Li Shuaixi was tricked by Chu Xuan into becoming Chu Xuan's experimental subject, where he underwent many inhumane experiments, making his life worse than death.

That was an extremely tragic experience; otherwise, he wouldn't have developed the T-virus Alien Queen physiology.

But Chu Xuan calmly told him that he would definitely not die.

Chu Xuan is terrifying. He can't feel any human warmth from Chu Xuan, only coldness and ruthlessness. Even if Chu Xuan said something nice to him, it wouldn't have come to this.

"Chu Xuan, I will rebel against you! I will take revenge!" Li Shuaixi clenched his fists and thought to himself.

The Scorpion King rushed in front of Li Shuaixi, his hands were black scorpion pincers, and in his rage he was about to use them to kill Li Shuaixi.

The challenger's victory will take everything away from him, but if he wins, he will also protect everything he has.

"Wait, Scorpion Emperor!" As the Scorpion Emperor rushed closer, Li Shuaixi immediately knelt on one knee, showing his submission.

"I am not a challenger. The challengers are outside the pyramid. I am here to assist Lord Scorpion Emperor," Li Shuaixi said hurriedly, quickly expressing his thoughts.

This sudden turn of events stunned the half-human, half-scorpion Demon Scorpion Emperor, causing him to stop his attacking pincers.

“I possess power, and I will be a good subordinate to you.” Seeing that the Scorpion Emperor had stopped attacking, Li Shuaixi’s consciousness stirred, and his body, which was kneeling on one knee, suddenly changed.

A hard, sharp black carapace pierced through the skin, as if shedding its skin, and a black humanoid creature burst through the skin, revealing itself to be... a black alien!
A menacing tone, sharp claws, and a black carapace that reflects light.

Li Shuaixi could have transformed long ago, but he concealed the fact that he could transform from his team.

The black alien he transformed into was only two meters tall, but his strength far surpassed that of a typical alien queen. He could easily overturn tanks and smash a building with his body.

The T-virus perfectly integrated into Li Shuaixi's body, enhancing his six-dimensional attributes. After his transformation, his carapace hardness, physical strength, and speed all more than tripled.

By Chu Xuan's standards, Li Shuaixi now possesses the perfect T-virus Alien Queen physique, comparable to a B-grade exchange.

This was thanks to the repair of the God Space, which erased all the side effects caused by the T-virus and the black water.

"What...are you?" The Scorpion Emperor stared in disbelief at Li Shuaixi, who was kneeling on one knee and deformed.

Alien Li Shuaixi said, "Scorpion Emperor, it is now 5000 years later. 5000 years is enough time to change many things."

“The practitioners of later generations possess all sorts of abilities, and I am willing to assist you in facing this new world.”

"I have the power of infection. I can infect your army of death and make them even stronger."

At this point, Li Shuaixi paused slightly.

"One of the rules Death sets for challenging you is that the challenger is stripped of their magic and enhancements and faces you in a mortal body."

"During this period, although you also lack magical power, your half-human, half-scorpion physique has made you invincible."

"Only the Spear of Judgment can truly kill you, but as far as I know, the Spear of Judgment will not be here anytime soon."

"Challengers who come in to challenge will face certain death. If they don't come in to challenge, now that you've awakened, you can send out your army of death to deal with them, and they will also face certain death."

"You...are now in an invincible position!"

This was Li Shuaixi's plan: to submit to the Demon Scorpion Emperor and use the mechanisms of the Demon Scorpion Land to deal with Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan only has two paths to take.

The first rule is that if Chu Xuan comes in to challenge the Scorpion Emperor, he will undoubtedly be defeated by the combined forces of the Scorpion Emperor and Chu Xuan.

The second option is to stay outside, but the Scorpion Emperor can send out the Death Army to attack Chu Xuan and his group. The Death Army will not die, and Chu Xuan will ultimately be defeated.

This is Li Shuaixi's plan against Chu Xuan; it is Li Shuaixi's 'wisdom'.

Outside the pyramid, Overlord, Zero Point, Mou Gang, and the four prisoners from the Indian team waited, while Chu Xuan lay on the surface of the pyramid studying the runes.

Rumble…

Suddenly, a group of two-meter-tall humanoid dog-headed soldiers rushed out of the pyramid and attacked Chu Xuan and his companions.
