Chapter 404: Kites Flown by Enemies

"Matthews, go take care of that fierce beast!"

The strong members of the Bone Spike Tribe frowned as they sensed the Little Gold Ball rampaging and slaughtering everywhere.

Bone Spike Chief gave an order to a powerful warrior, "Stay back and be careful of its self-destruct!"

"Got it!"

The powerful warrior named Matthews immediately charged toward the Little Gold Ball.

His expression was grave, but not because of the Little Gold Ball; it was due to the humanity army continually closing in, leaving them unable to think of a better way to break out.

As for the Little Gold Ball, he did not take it seriously.

Revival and self-destruction.

These two abilities seemed absurdly strong and almost unsolvable.

But he did not believe the Little Gold Ball could self-destruct infinitely.

There had to be a limit.

As long as he could exhaust the Little Gold Ball’s self-destruct count to its maximum, it would be fine.

Bone Spike Chief sent him to deal with the Little Gold Ball because he was among the Bone Spike Tribe warriors with relatively faster speed.

He was confident that when the Little Gold Ball self-destructed, as long as he was careful and avoided the explosion, there would be no problems.

Besides, as a strong warrior, his defense strength was very high.

Dealing with the Little Gold Ball was just a piece of cake.

Whoosh!

His right arm instantly transformed into a spear.

A spear over ten meters long.

This was naturally to create some distance.

Suddenly accelerating, his body became a black streak of light, shooting toward the Little Gold Ball.

Squeak, squeak…

Sensing the sound of air breaking behind him, the Little Gold Ball stopped charging and turned to see Matthews’ spear thrusting toward it.

Boom!

Without saying another word, it immediately chose to self-destruct the moment the spear got close.

Terrifying energy wildly swept out in all directions.

Matthews, being a successful tribulation-overcoming warrior, quickly twisted his body and withdrew the thrusting spear.

He also spun and retreated backward.

Within a radius of dozens of meters, the explosion of the Little Gold Ball created a deep pit over a meter wide.

All the surrounding Black Tiger Tribe members were blasted away.

However, Matthews, who was already mentally prepared, successfully avoided the blast.

Only grazed by the residual force, it sustained a slight injury to its skin.

Squeak, squeak…

In an instant, the Little Gold Ball successfully revived.

It glared at Matthews with its beady eyes and bared its teeth in a furious roar.

Without hesitation, its round body transformed into a streak of golden light, shooting toward Matthews.

"Seeking death!"

Matthews sneered, relying on his powerful vision and reaction ability. He aimed the spear, over ten meters long, perfectly.

As the Little Gold Ball approached within ten meters, he suddenly thrust the spear forward.

Seeing it couldn’t dodge, the Little Gold Ball had no choice but to self-destruct again.

With a deafening boom, Matthews quickly withdrew the spear and leaped back.

Once more, he was only slightly affected by the explosion’s residual force, retreating outside the blast zone.

Squeak!

After two unsuccessful attempts, the Little Gold Ball, unable to contain its fury, had its beady eyes turn bright red.

In its eyes, there was only Matthews, and it charged madly at him.

But once again, the result was the same.

With Matthews’ strength realm, he could easily determine its movement trajectory and preemptively use the spear to block its approach.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions came one after another.

But more explosive than the terrifying blasts was the Little Gold Ball’s fury after each failed attempt.

In outer space,

Yi Chen found himself in an awkward situation.

“This little thing has been with me for over a decade, and its temper hasn’t improved at all…

He was initially worried that having the lively Little Gold Ball stay by his side would dull its nature.

But evidently,

the mountains may change, but one’s nature is hard to change.

In front of him, the Little Gold Ball was obedient and quiet, only pretending to be pitiful when wronged.

But once facing outside threats, its true nature would be completely revealed.

Its short temper was incredibly intense.

This made Yi Chen worry that if the Little Gold Ball ever left and walked its own path, even with great strength, it could easily be targeted by enemies.

An immortal body and self-destruct ability do not mean invincibility.

As long as someone with superior speed found it, they could easily exploit its temper and lure it into a situation where, even in self-destruction, it couldn’t escape, trapping it forever.

He needed to find time to give the Little Gold Ball a targeted training session.

In the current situation, the Little Gold Ball only needed to improve its reaction ability or agility to avoid the spear’s attacks and get closer to Matthews.

If it had a clear head and didn’t act foolishly, it could also use the tactic of misdirection, attacking other members of the Black Tiger Tribe with speed that wouldn’t fall too short of Matthews’, forcing Matthews to chase and expose a weakness.

Alternatively, it could use needles to attack continuously, targeting Matthews’ eyes, distracting him…

There were many ways.

But the Little Gold Ball thought of none.

It could only suffer the frustration of being toyed with by its enemies, feeling so angry it wanted to spit blood.

Yi Chen didn’t intervene to help the Little Gold Ball deal with Matthews but let it feel the urge to explode with anger, unable to do anything about Matthews.

Having faced losses, it would learn to be more cautious.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As time passed, the Little Gold Ball’s previously furious red eyes began to glow with a green light.

Matthews was not doing well either.

Because of the Little Gold Ball’s ability to revive, it seemed endless, showing no signs of reaching its limit.

Moreover, although he possessed a few restraining treasures, their strength was too low to withstand the explosive power of the Little Gold Ball.

He could only continue to endure it while keeping the Little Gold Ball occupied.

However, the human army made it impossible for him to drag this out indefinitely.

The encirclement was continuously shrinking.

The remaining over five million troops had been compressed to a point that was nearly unsustainable.

Bone Spike Chief had ordered several high-end combatants to form assault teams for a breakout, but they were all easily repelled.

“Everyone, prepare for an all-out breakout!”

Bone Spike Chief, feeling desperate, realized they had no choice but to break out or face death.

With over five million troops remaining, they could still distract attention and divide attacks.

Once those troops were eliminated, even if the strong among them teamed up, they might not be able to escape.

After all, their opponents also had more than a hundred strong fighters, some of whom could indirectly be classified as having teleportation ability.

“All strong fighters gather together! Once the enemy’s strong fighters use the unknown race’s teleportation ability, focus on attacking those with teleportation! They have low power levels; that’s their only weakness!”

“Yes!”

The strong fighters all responded.

They felt extremely frustrated.

They were not worried about being unable to break out.

However, gathering together for an all-out breakout meant that their ambush plan would be discovered by the Nika tribe.

Once they tried to ambush again, all hope would be lost.

Curiously, their opponents had never employed the strategy to capture the leader first. The current situation had forced them to commit fully to breaking out.

Everything would have to wait until after the breakout to assess the circumstances and see if they could find an opportunity to ambush the strong fighters of the Nika tribe.
