Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1370: Testing Strength
Zhang Yi and the others arrived at the Giant City beneath the Demon Abyss, where they encountered the massive, three-eyed lizard-like giants of the Tri-Eyed Clan.
What terrified him the most was that humans also existed in this underground world, serving as food for the Tri-Eyed Clan.
People were coming and going on the roadside, presenting a seemingly harmonious scene. Zhang Yi spotted a tall pillar nearby and hurriedly hid himself behind it.
Looking up, he realized it was actually the leg of a table.
On the table, three Tri-Eyed Clan members were drinking tea and chatting.
One of them had a cloth pouch hanging at his waist, with something squirming inside it.
As he drank his tea, the Tri-Eyed Clan member casually reached into the pouch, and then Zhang Yi watched in horror as he pulled out a completely naked little human.
Zhang Yi could see clearly that this human looked very different from him—small eyes, a fat body, like a pig raised for slaughter.
The human struggled, and upon spotting Zhang Yi on the ground, he began shouting excitedly.
The Smart System translated his language; after analysis, it turned out to be the ancient language of the Snowy Plateau Region.It seemed these people were the descendants of the Snowy Region citizens who had been sacrificed in ancient times, now kept captive as livestock.
"Help! Save me! Save me! I don't want to die!"
He stared at Zhang Yi, crying out in desperate despair, though there was no hope left in his eyes.
Then, the Tri-Eyed Clan member casually picked him up, dipped him in sauce on the table, and tossed him directly into his mouth.
"Crunch!"
Blood mixed with black sauce sprayed everywhere.
Zhang Yi quickly dodged the falling sauce, staring at the large puddles of mixture before him, his heart sinking into silence.
"B-Boss... maybe we should go back! This place is way too terrifying!"
Fatty Xu's trembling voice reached Zhang Yi's ears.
Zhang Yi remained silent. Here in this foreign land, he couldn't contact the Lord of the Charnel Ground or the others.
He was like a headless fly, surrounded on all sides by man-eating Tri-Eyed Clan giants.
Such an environment was undoubtedly full of danger for them.
However, what Zhang Yi worried about most wasn't this.
Even if these giants were massive, to him they were just ordinary people—they couldn't threaten his life.
What truly concerned him was whether the Tri-Eyed Clan's nation had powerful beings like the Gatekeeper of the Netherworld or Bai Longzi.
Just as Zhang Yi was thinking about his next move, a massive shadow suddenly fell over him.
Zhang Yi looked up and saw two young Tri-Eyed Clan members staring down at him with mocking grins.
"Look what I found! A hairless rat wearing weird clothes!"
"Hahaha, how amusing! This is really an interesting little thing. Grab him!"
One Tri-Eyed Clan member immediately reached out to grab Zhang Yi.
Not wanting to cause a commotion here, Zhang Yi's eyes flickered with sharp light. He glanced around and quickly sprinted toward a narrow alley hundreds of meters away at the street corner.
Though it was called an alley, to him, it was as vast as a canyon.
Seeing this strange hairless rat trying to escape only made the two youths more excited.
"Don't run, hahaha! When I catch you, I'll torture you to death slowly and then eat you!"
"Wild hairless rats must be very nutritious! Maybe we can even sell them for a good price!"
Zhang Yi couldn't understand their language at all, and the Smart System had no data to translate it.
For ease of understanding, many words were interpreted using human terminology, but the meanings might not be the same.
Zhang Yi moved incredibly fast, luring the two youths into the secluded alley.
The two youths had already caught up, trapping him from left and right. Cruel smiles spread across their young faces as they mentally thought of dozens of ways to torture this strange hairless rat to death.
Zhang Yi also wanted to test the combat strength of these Tri-Eyed Clan members.
After confirming no one else was around, Zhang Yi summoned his Sacred Executioner horizontal sword with his left hand.
Seeing this, the two Tri-Eyed Clan youths were stunned.
"Did you see that? Where did he get a weapon?"
"Even though it looks like a toothpick, can hairless rats use weapons?"
They exchanged shocked glances, then their smiles grew even more delighted and cruel.
"This is amazing! Hahaha!!!"
"This is a very rare breed! I want to keep him—maybe I can train him to perform and make money!"
One youth, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes, took the first step. He bent down and reached out a huge hand toward Zhang Yi's head.
Swish!
A black light flashed, and the youth suddenly felt his hand grow lighter, a chill spreading from his wrist.
He stared in disbelief at the hairless rat on the ground and his own arm. Visible to the naked eye, his hand separated from his wrist and fell to the ground.
The next moment, excruciating pain hit him.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!"
He clutched his severed wrist, wailing in agony.
"They're not much stronger than I imagined—just big bodies, that's all? Still, with just this, they could probably handle a reinforcement-type superhuman with an ability index around 3,000 points."
Zhang Yi made his judgment.
Size advantage has always been one of the greatest advantages in the biological world. Most of the time, the bigger the creature, the stronger its combat power.
However, these ordinary Tri-Eyed Clan members weren't as terrifying as he'd imagined. Zhang Yi could still handle them with ease.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. In an instant, he teleported right in front of the severed-arm Tri-Eyed Clan youth.
Gripping the Holy Judgment sword with both hands, he swung it across. The youth's massive head flew high into the air, blood gushing from the cranial cavity like a fountain.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The other Tri-Eyed Clan youth beside him was completely stunned.
He couldn't believe he wasn't dreaming.
A hairless rat, which existed as livestock, had drawn a weapon and killed his friend?
Imagine encountering a stray cat on the street, planning to cruelly torture it, only for it to pull a gun from behind its back and aim it at your head.
Wouldn't that scene feel incredibly bizarre and terrifying?
The Tri-Eyed Clan youth was both shocked and enraged. He grabbed a nearby stick and roared as he swung it at Zhang Yi.
"AHHHHH!!!!"
"Crunch!"
Zhang Yi didn't waste any time. He slashed down directly, splitting the youth's enormous body in two from the crown of his head. The corpse collapsed limply to the ground.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The loud crashes made Zhang Yi worry someone might hear. Giants of this size could easily be villains in a special effects movie.
But these were just two ordinary young men of the Tri-Eyed Clan.
"I'll need to go invisible for a while. We know nothing about this place, so we can't act rashly. Otherwise, we might alert the powerful guardians here."
Zhang Yi said to the others through the communication channel.
