Chapter 1187: Glory Mercenary Group
"A single person defeated one of your God race's armies?" Ling Feng was truly surprised. He was familiar with the strength of the God race, undoubtedly one of the most powerful forces on Earth at the time.
The voice from the Crystal Skull carried a hint of unwillingness and helplessness: "He was an extremely powerful warrior who used an ability we had never seen before. It was precisely this ability that made us surrender the victory we had just achieved!"
"What kind of ability?" Ling Feng was curious.
The Crystal Skull spoke in a deep voice: "Resurrection of the Dead, which can awaken the deceased who have been dead for less than two hours, turning them into the strongest combat weapons! Moreover, the stronger the power, the more undead can be resurrected! After that battle, he summoned an army of over ten thousand undead by himself!"
The words of the Crystal Skull were filled with deep unwillingness, and a trace of fear hidden within its speech!
"Resurrection of the Dead?" Without needing further explanation, Ling Feng could also sense the power of this ability. In Ling Feng's view, it was somewhat similar to the necromancers in online games.
"I suppose someone who can use this ability must be quite strong, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"He was a master of the Azure Sky Realm!" the Crystal Skull said in a deep voice, "At that time, we truly realized that the planes invading Earth possessed unmeasurable power!"
"That's getting off topic!" The Crystal Skull looked around the Great Desolate Valley and said, "It's said that those resurrected by that master's Resurrection of the Dead have souls that can never find peace. At the beginning of each month, large groups of undead emerge from beneath the Great Desolate Valley, killing all living beings in their path! I don't know if this rumor is true, but I think there might be some truth to it!"
Ling Feng frowned. If the rumor were true, it would be quite troublesome!
At this moment, the Knight of Light who had gone out to seek water returned: "It's not good, Lord Ling Feng, there's a disturbance of battle ahead!"
"A disturbance of battle?" Ling Feng's eyes sharpened instantly: "What's going on?"
"Here's what happened: We initially split into two groups to find water, but after walking about several kilometers, we sensed waves of battle in the air. According to these waves, I estimate the battle is about ten kilometers away from us!" The Knight of Light said, "We hurried back to report so as not to alert anyone unnecessarily!"
The presence of a battle disturbance indicated someone or something was ahead! Either possibility was good news for Ling Feng.
"Everyone should be rested enough by now!" Ling Feng called out, "There are signs of battle ahead, let's go take a look. If we happen to encounter any survivors, it would be good news for everyone."
With that, the group set off again.
After walking for several tens of minutes, they finally sensed the battle waves ahead.
"Mona Lisa, Tama, let's go take a look, the rest of you stay here on alert!" Ling Feng said in a deep voice.
The Bright Saintess frowned: "Hey, Ling Feng, why aren't you bringing me? Am I just a burden?"
Ling Feng smiled, "Make sure you can beat Tama first!"
Among everyone present, the Bright Saintess was the weakest in strength. Of course, compared to the outside world, the Bright Saintess was also a top-tier expert, but among those present, even Tama had the strength of the Demi-God Domain, while the Bright Saintess's A-level peak strength could only barely keep up!
Now was not the time to cater to the Bright Saintess's moods. With a wave of Ling Feng's hand, Mona Lisa and Tama followed closely behind him, stealthily moving towards the source of the battle disturbance.
After walking about twenty kilometers and crossing two large hills, they finally saw the true identities of the two sides in battle!
To their shock, one side of the battle was people from the outside world like Ling Feng, while the other side was a huge worm, over a hundred meters long, with a dark brown body!
Moreover, the worm had a large, gaping mouth from which nauseating mucus would occasionally drip.
"That's... a Desert Worm!" Tama whispered in shock.
"Desert Worm?" Ling Feng's heart was stirred. He had heard of the Desert Worm's existence, but he had never truly witnessed it!
It's said that the Desert Worm can spew a corrosive liquid similar to sulfuric acid from its mouth, and its eyes can emit a powerful electric current. It's truly a deathly creature in the desert!
But these were merely legends in the outside world. Even if someone claimed to have seen one, no credible evidence was presented!
"Those are people from the Glory Mercenary Group!" Ling Feng said in a deep voice, noticing that those battling the Desert Worm wore clothes emblazoned with the Glory Mercenary Group emblem.
"Brother Ling Feng, should we step in?" Tama blinked and asked.
Ling Feng shook his head, "Let's see. Right now, we don't have a clear understanding of the Desert Worm's strength. Moreover, the other side isn't exactly cornered yet. If we rashly intervene, it might cause their suspicion and caution!"
Mona Lisa nodded, deeply agreeing with Ling Feng's words.
The Glory Mercenary Group was a legend within the mercenary world. Back when Africa was invaded by outsiders, many countries had become colonies. At that time, a royal family member in exile found the Glory Mercenary Group, hoping they would help him restore his country, promising them immense wealth and status in return!
Perhaps moved by the exile royal's sincerity, the Glory Mercenary Group dispatched many of their experts and, through various means and cooperation with domestic forces, drove out the invaders!
But when the restoration was successful, the royal family reneged! They felt that the contribution made by the Glory Mercenary Group was not worthy of that much wealth, offering only a tenth of what was initially promised!
The Glory Mercenary Group was enraged. Overnight, all adult male members of the royal family were assassinated. Those who remained were so terrified that they handed over everything previously promised to the Glory Mercenary Group out of fear!
This event became a legend in the mercenary world; after all, for a mercenary group to single-handedly stand against a nation was almost impossible! But the Glory Mercenary Group achieved it!
Moreover, the Glory Mercenary Group included ten top fighters, each a Demi-God Domain powerhouse, a strength not inferior to hidden forces of general nations.
The three experts from the Glory Mercenary Group up ahead were all Demi-God Domain powerhouses, though Ling Feng couldn't tell if they were among the ten legends since those ten rarely appeared in public view.
"Maxi, Erik! This creature is too difficult to deal with, we must kill it. Otherwise, in this desert area, we stand no chance of evading its pursuit!" a man shouted in a deep voice.
