Chapter 199 - Collapse
The sky and the earth darkened.
The fight continued on...
Gnomes continued dying but more would keep rushing up.
”Hold on!”
”Endure it!”
”The king's boss told us to hold out for one day so we have to endure! This is our commitment to the king's boss!”
”Fellow brothers, boss will definitely come back! He will definitely play this guy to death!”
All the gnomes believed in this.
This was mindless belief!
This was because Luo Tian had given them hope during the time of despair in the gnome territory. And they were able to survive during that hopelessness. To these gnomes, Luo Tian had practically become their savior; a young man that had become a G.o.dly existence!
They had once again fallen into a crisis but they believed in Luo Tian without reservation!
They had no idea why Luo Tian asked them to hold out for a day but they believe he would definitely return!
Fan Zhangjian watched as his tribesman fell one by one, and the Iron Blood Array became riddled with holes. The array could be broken through any moment now but Fan Zhangjian maintained his resoluteness and directed his troops. He then cried out in a hoa.r.s.e voice: ”Fellow brothers of the Iron Blood Corps! You must hold on for me! One day's time is almost over and boss will definitely be back by then!”
In turn...
Fan Zhangjian showed a proud expression as he coldly stared at the Jiao Dragon who was constantly spraying out ice. He then coldly laughed: ”Four legged lizard, your doomsday will be here in another half an hour! Hahaha…”
Confidence!
Strong and unmatched confidence!
The Jiao Dragon started chuckling in a cold manner. Looking at Fan Zhangjian who was even smaller than a piece of his scale, he said in disdain: ”Who gave you such courage? Was it the human that escaped? Hahaha… I've always thought of you gnomes as a race with a bit of intelligence, but now I realized the little bit of intellect you guys possess have all been eaten by dogs. You guys actually chose to believe in a lowly human. Their hearts are the darkest of all races - greedy, cunning, unscrupulous, and always run at the first sign of trouble.”
”This human acquaintance of yours is the same.”
”He has long fled this place and it's only a bunch of idiotic midgets like you guys who have chosen to place your trust in him. Such stupidity… such idiocy, hahaha…”
Believing in a human?
One might as well believe that pigs could fly.
Through the thousands of years of cultivating, the Jiao Dragon had encountered many humans.
He had seen how a human's heart was filled with murderous intent, wanting to kill him to get his blood, bones, and his dragon scales. But when he exploded forth with his full might, those humans ignored their companion's well being and just ran to save their own lives.
Some of them even threw their companions towards him hoping that he would eat their companions first so they could gain more time themselves.
He had watched this scene happen a lot of times.
To the Jiao Dragon, humans were a race at the top of his list when it came to being untrustworthy.
Hearing Fan Zhangjian's words, the Jiao Dragon started laughing. His laughter was similar to someone laughing at an idiot doing something stupid.
A majority of the gnomes were also startled by this.
Did they all believe in Luo Tian a little too blindly?
At this moment, their belief was somewhat swayed because they still hadn't seen Luo Tian come back yet. They only knew he ran off somewhere doing something, but no one knew what he was up to.
Could Luo Tian really have run away and left them all behind?!
This thought started appearing in every gnome's heart.
The army of high ranked demonic beasts were killed, and defeating the Jiao Dragon was pretty much hopeless. Luo Tian might have cowardly escaped already!
This was indeed something humans would do.
Could this really be the case?
The expression of many gnomes underwent some changes and their rate of attack clearly slowed down. They all had this question in their minds now.
The Jiao Dragon then blatantly ridiculed them with laughter. ”Only idiots like you guys would believe in a human. It appears to me that your gnome race was originally betrayed by the humans and then forced to live with demonic beasts in the Ghostly Mountain Range. Why can't you guys learn your lessons from your ancestors? Yet you all still chose to believe in a human, which is simply way too funny! Hahaha… He's probably ten thousand kilometers away from here by now.”
The Jiao Dragon's words were reverberating inside their heads.
