Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1341: Demon People

"To think creatures could actually survive in this Sea of Blood, brimming with corpse poison!"

The poison-manipulating superhuman voiced his disbelief, clearly astonished by the sight before him.

In unison, everyone commenced a relentless assault on these swarming insects.

Knowing their true nature now made confronting them significantly less daunting.

Despite their sheer numbers, the combined strength of the Southwest Region's formidable experts swiftly annihilated a vast quantity of the venomous bugs.

Fatty Xu, extending his plump hands, met the surface of the Sea of Blood and unleashed his [Blizzard] ability, instantly encasing the surrounding miles in a sheet of ice.

Liquids were always a prime target for his skills, and this icy expanse quickly formed over the blood sea.

The ships became fixed in place, allowing the superhumans to disembark and engage on the frozen surface.

Consequently, the corpses and insects found their movement greatly impeded.

Old You, gripping a firearm, unleashed a torrent of bullets as if they were free, manhandling a Gatling gun with the ease of someone wielding a light machine gun.

Corpses and insects alike were torn asunder in huge numbers by his barrage.

"Haha, these Demon Kingdom folk employ such crude tactics against us!"

Old You cackled with unrestrained glee.

Zhang Yi rested his blade upon his shoulder, deeming it unnecessary to personally engage in the melee at this juncture.

"No, in times past, this was a potent strategy to impede those from our world."

"They cultivated insects within the corpses and then housed them within the Sea of Blood. The insects sustenance came from the corpses and the blood sea, compelling them to attack any living entity they encountered."

"Had they not crossed our path, even a regular army venturing here would have met a dire fate."

It wasn't that these insects lacked inherent strength, but rather that the power of their organized unit was overwhelmingly great.

The mere number of Epsilon-level superhumans present already numbered in the several.

The cacophony of gunfire and artillery echoed across the Sea of Blood. Soon, fragments of the corpse insects littered the bloody expanse, their densely packed, minced forms a gruesome spectacle.

Yet, from within the Sea of Blood, more of these macabre entities continuously surfaced.

Deji bellowed, "No need to continue this! This is the Demon Kingdom's method of disposing of bodies. Accumulated over a millennium, who knows how many corpses lie here. Unless the entire Sea of Blood is evaporated, you'll never exhaust the supply of foes."

"Let us depart swiftly! No more time should be squandered here."

Upon hearing this, all readily concurred and opted to fight their way backward.

Fatty Xu's icy creation had indeed frozen the surrounding waters, but this posed no significant obstacle.

Chodak, transforming into his Fierce-Eyed Vajra form, surged to the vanguard of the formation. With a single, thunderous punch, the immense force shattered the thick ice sheet into countless pieces!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Chodak's fists carved an icy passage, directly blasting open a channel for their escape.

The fleet seized this opportunity, surging forward at great speed to exit the blood sea.

Relentlessly, the pursuing corpses lay prone upon the blood sea's surface, rotating as they gave chase at a terrifying velocity.

While they inflicted minimal damage upon the Allied Forces, their appearance was profoundly unsettling.

A primal dread washed over the Allied Forces, their scalps tingling, extinguishing any desire to linger alongside such monstrous beings. All focus was on reaching the opposite shore as quickly as possible.

"Splash—"

The crimson fluid slapped against the ship's hulls. Suddenly, the leading vessel in the formation lurched violently before, as if struck by an immense force, capsizing entirely!

"Ahh!!"

A piercing scream erupted. From the depths of the Sea of Blood, a colossal hand emerged, crushing a soldier's body with sickening force, contorting it into an unnatural shape, much like one might press down on a waterlogged sponge. A torrent of blood and ichor spewed forth, its dark flow mingling with the surrounding filth.

Without a moment's hesitation, Liang Yue surged forward. A brilliant, snow-white flash from her blade sliced through the air.

Her Long Sword met the gargantuan arm with a resonant clang, akin to striking metal. The limb was severed with surgical precision, revealing a clean, flat edge where it had been cut.

From the Sea of Blood, a massive head began to slowly surface.

The head, easily twice the size of an ordinary human's, was devoid of hair. A single, demonic eye was emblazoned upon its forehead.

As it emerged fully from the Sea of Blood, its body towered to a height exceeding four meters!

"A person from the Demon Kingdom! They're from the Demon Kingdom!"

Witnessing a living Demonic Person for the very first time, numerous adherents of the esoteric sect cried out in collective excitement.

They recited Buddhist mantras, steeling themselves against the encroaching terror of this monstrous apparition.

But soon, a more profound dread began to dawn.

Following the emergence of that peculiar Demonic Person, the Sea of Blood surged behind him, and one by one, unsettling figures ascended from its depths.

This Demonic Person, standing over four meters tall, was actually of moderate stature. Behind him loomed Demonic People towering five to six meters, and even colossal beings nearing ten meters slowly began to rise.

Their gazes were devoid of emotion, fixed upon the foreign Allied Forces present, like mountains standing before the naval fleet.

Zhang Yi finally grasped the reason for the immense size of that colossal gateway.

It was because the inhabitants of the Demon Kingdom far surpassed ordinary humans in physical dimensions!

"Are... are these not human?"

The voice of Zhou Ke'er echoed through the communication channel. Though within the Shadow Space, they remained diligent, each individual attending to their roles, awaiting their cue.

The moment they laid eyes on the Demonic People, Zhou Ke'er and Yang Xinxin immediately commenced a review of historical records for investigation.

"Indeed, the denizens of the Demon Kingdom were considerably larger than regular folk. Ancient texts from the pre-Qin era mention a guerrilla commander who fought against the Quanrong and vanquished a giant standing five meters in height."

"I suspect they are indeed human, merely mutated. Furthermore, these bodies have been submerged in the Sea of Blood for an extended period; it's only natural for their forms to swell, intensifying their terrifying appearance."

In the distant past of the Huaxu Kingdom, marvels and strange phenomena were commonplace: individuals born with dual pupils, those whose arms extended past their knees, and even people with fused ribs forming a single row.

In antiquity, such traits were seen as marks of extraordinary individuals, destined for great accomplishments.

Perhaps these beings were early-stage awakeners, which is why they achieved feats beyond the reach of others.

"Amitabha! Followers of the Buddha, cleanse these unholy Demonic People!"

Deji declared with a frigid tone from the ship's prow.

"Kill!!!"

Furious roars reverberated across the Sea of Blood.

Their objective was precisely the conquest of the Demon Kingdom. Now that the adversary stood before them, retreat was out of the question.

To perish defending their convictions meant entry into the Western Pure Land post-mortem. Thus, all charged forward without apprehension, clashing with these giants.

As for the Lord of the Charnel Ground, Zhang Yi, and his companions, their direct involvement was minimal.

Despite the intimidating presence of these Demonic People, none exhibited power at the Epsilon level.

If the Demon Kingdom mirrored the subterranean depths of the Qinling Mountains, it undoubtedly harbored Epsilon-level powerhouses.

They needed to conserve their energy, reserving their might for the decisive moment.

On the Pagyi Family's behalf, it was once again Fatty Xu who initiated the action, encasing the Sea of Blood in ice.

Without this measure, the majority of soldiers would be ill-equipped to combat in the water.

Chodak directed his troops, unleashing well-coordinated and systematic assaults upon the Demonic People.

Among them all, Liang Yue's performance stood out most brilliantly.

"Boom!!"

A Demonic Person, seven to eight meters in height, swung its elongated arm like a lash, delivering a crushing blow towards the soldiers in its path!

The expressions of several soldiers contorted as they narrowly evaded the strike. The ice beneath them fractured explosively, sending crimson shards flying.

The sheer might of these Demonic People was overwhelming. Even encased in combat suits, ordinary individuals struggled to withstand their raw power.

Yet, upon closer inspection, these Demonic People possessed only immense size; they lacked any special abilities.

This was precisely Liang Yue's opportunity to excel.

In close-quarters combat, her prowess ranked among the highest in the entire Allied Forces. Excluding the handful of Epsilons, few could rival her.

She sprinted across the icy expanse, the ice shattering under her rapid footfalls. A whirlwind erupted as she launched herself skyward.

A colossal figure turned its head, only to be met by the blinding flash of Liang Yue's blade.

Azure Qi swirled around Liang Yue's form. With a swift swing of her Long Sword, she cleanly severed half of the giant's head from its body!
