Chapter 582 - 470: Gone Mad, Gone Mad: What a Shameless Person

Gao Neng was certain.

This time, he was absolutely sure he hadn’t looked into the Snow Demon’s eyes.

But even so, he felt as if his whole body had been plunged into a bog, held fast by countless hands.

"BOOM!"

Just then, a cannonball shot over.

And then, Fang Tangtang’s anxious voice rang out.

"Gao Neng, run!"

"BOOM!"

A massive explosion echoed from behind him.

Gao Neng knew that Fang Tangtang, who was hidden underground, had taken action. But he had no time to look back and could only plummet downward at top speed.

"MEOW!!!" A cat’s cry sounded again.

Gao Xiaomeng’s figure appeared before Gao Neng. She grabbed his hand and began dragging him forcefully toward the ground below.

And as she pulled, Gao Xiaomeng shouted anxiously.

"Bro, didn’t you say you could hide your aura? Hurry up! Now it’s your turn to save me!"

"Why don’t we just take out this Snow Demon? If I get a chance to get close, he’s dead for sure." Although Gao Neng knew deep down that it was impossible, he refused to admit it out loud.

"Snow Demons are different. They don’t have physical bodies, so your attacks are useless against him. Besides, a Snow Demon’s soul is notoriously powerful. We simply can’t kill him!" Gao Xiaomeng explained.

"So he’s a perfect counter to me. That explains why we’re losing this fight." Gao Neng nodded, then immediately lunged toward Fang Tangtang’s position.

"BOOM!"

A huge crater appeared in the ground.

The instant Gao Neng dove underground, he concealed his, Gao Xiaomeng’s, and Fang Tangtang’s auras completely.

No auras.

’The Snow Demon shouldn’t be able to find us, right?’

That was Gao Neng’s thought.

But in reality...

He was wrong.

Because the moment he dove into the crater, the Snow Demon charged down after him.

’This Snow Demon is latched onto us?!’ Gao Neng thought, his heart sinking.

"Didn’t we already hide our auras? How can he still be tracking us?" Fang Tangtang was starting to get anxious now.

"It’s our scent. Snow Demons are fundamentally ’gaseous lifeforms.’ We’re not far from him right now, so he can easily find us by our smell," Gao Xiaomeng once again displayed her knowledge of alien species.

"So, like a dog?"

"More or less."

"This is bad. If this keeps up, he’ll definitely catch us. What do we do? Gao Neng, think of something, quick!" Fang Tangtang urged again.

"Changing our scent isn’t hard. The hard part is finding other scents to mix with and use as cover. Without other scents, no matter how we change ours, he’ll still be able to track us," Gao Neng mused.

"Right, so should we hurry back to the fortress?"

"We’re at Ice City’s location now. It’s too far to get back to the North District Fortress. Unless we lure this Snow Demon into our army, but if we do that..." Gao Neng quickly dismissed the idea.

Using the army to block the Snow Demon.

The casualties would be catastrophic.

That wasn’t his style.

"We’ll go into Ice City! No matter what, it’s the Ice and Snow Race’s territory. Even if the Snow Demon goes on a killing spree in there, it’s none of our business," Gao Neng decided instantly.

"Okay!" Gao Xiaomeng and Fang Tangtang nodded almost in unison.

Gao Neng didn’t hesitate.

He charged straight toward Ice City from underground.

Soon, he passed the location of the city wall.

Directly ahead of him was a cluster of dazzling white light.

If he wasn’t mistaken...

It should be the crystal mine beneath Ice City.

Men die for wealth.

Birds die for food.

Fortune is found in danger.

These are the thoughts of an ordinary person.

Gao Neng was no ordinary person. So, he decisively gave up on mining and, with Gao Xiaomeng and Fang Tangtang in tow, charged only toward places crowded with other species.

And that wasn’t all. He also left a trail of tier-eight gene weapons behind him.

In a way.

The scent of the tier-eight gene weapons was the same as his.

Not only could this confuse the Snow Demon’s lock on Gao Neng’s scent, but it could also serve as a temporary obstacle, even if it couldn’t hold out for long.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM! BOOM!"

"..."

After several explosions.

At least five gene weapons were destroyed.

And Gao Neng finally found an opportunity. He burst out from the ground, then, with Gao Xiaomeng and Fang Tangtang, found another spot and burrowed back in.

He repeated this several times.

Gao Neng felt he had probably shaken off the Snow Demon.

But in doing so, he found that he had unknowingly ended up underground near the rear gate of Ice City.

"It looks like we’re at the rear gate of Ice City?" Fang Tangtang had also realized their location.

"Mm," Gao Neng nodded.

If he remembered correctly, he had once proposed to Qin Jianfei that he should station Shaximo, Yi Qinglian, and others at the rear gate of Ice City to block supplies from leaving the city.

But now, the Strongest had joined the battle.

And there were three of them.

Although Gao Neng had seen Sword Elder send a signal to the Human Alliance, calling for humanity’s Strongest to come as reinforcements, no one had arrived yet.

As a result, the outcome of the battle for Ice City was now unknown.

Most importantly, once a battle between the Strongest began, the subsequent plan to capture the other two cities was effectively thrown into disarray.

Would the alien races let it go after one of their Strongest had died?

This wave of back-and-forth retaliatory strikes...

...would probably not be over quickly!

’The battle for Ice City has deviated from the original plan. I have to get Shaximo and Yi Qinglian to retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the alien Strongest returns, it’ll be dangerous.’ Gao Neng quickly formed a plan. ’Since I’m here, I might as well tell Shaximo and the others to run.’

After all, these were all of humanity’s top geniuses.

If they were all wiped out here...

...the future of the Human Alliance would suffer a devastating blow.

Compared to the unknown quantity of supplies still in Ice City, this batch of super-geniuses was definitely more valuable.

"Tangtang, we’re going to tell Shaximo and the others to retreat," Gao Neng said.

"Retreat? Okay!" Fang Tangtang was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood. This war was no longer going according to plan.

The Strongest were at war.

No one knew what would happen next.

The two of them moved stealthily.

Gao Xiaomeng naturally had no objections and obediently followed behind them.

The Flying Earth Dragon continued to advance underground.

The whole process was quite smooth. They encountered virtually no resistance, and the three of them soon arrived outside the rear gate.

It was clear that a battle had taken place here.

But it hadn’t been a large-scale one.

The appearance of Gao Neng with Gao Xiaomeng and Fang Tangtang immediately caused a stir nearby.

"Is that Gao Neng?" a voice called out.

"Gao Neng, what on earth happened at the front gate? Did the Strongest start fighting?" another voice immediately followed.

On battlefields within alien territory, all human wireless communications basically failed.

The people at the rear gate could only use signals to determine where reinforcements were needed.

However, the commotion from the battle of the Strongest at the front gate was so immense that even those at the rear gate could vaguely guess what had happened.

Gao Neng looked over.

The people approaching were two geniuses from the Military Department.

"Yes. A total of four Strongest appeared. I casually killed one of them, and the other three are still fighting. Hurry and tell everyone else to retreat to the North District Fortress!" Gao Neng nodded and replied.

"Right!" The Military Department genius didn’t doubt him at first, but just as he was about to turn and inform the others, he suddenly felt that something wasn’t quite right. "Wait, what did you say, Gao Neng? You... killed a Strongest?"

"That’s right. I killed a Blood Race Strongest. Even obliterated his soul," Gao Neng said again.

"!!!" The Military Department genius was speechless.

’What the hell? I’m not an idiot! You can’t fool me!’

’You killed a Strongest?!’

’And a Blood Race Strongest, one of the three major races of the North District, at that?’

’Who the hell would believe that?’
