Hearing Lu Hong’s answer, Luo Yanxue smiled slightly: "Then I’ll take Brother Lu’s good words."
Imdiately, Luo Yanxue also finished breakfast, wiped his mouth, and left the cafeteria directly.
Lu Hong, on the other hand, dug in heartily. Due to the nourishnt of Fighting Spirit, his physical quality was improving rapidly, and the strengthening of his muscles required a huge amount of energy from food, hence the increased appetite.
And that afternoon, Zhong Minghuang called.
"Hello!"
Lu Hong picked up the phone, feeling a bit lazy as he erged from ditation.
"Mr. Lu, please head to the square in your district imdiately. There will be a designated helicopter coming to pick you up."
Hearing the slightly hurried voice of Zhong Minghuang.
Lu Hong asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"According to reports from the cruiser ships, a silhouette resembling a giant beast was spotted deep in the ocean. Hua Country’s Military Departnt responded imdiately, dispatching Masters to scout, and it was confird that the Qilin is returning, seemingly attempting to land at T City to enter Hua Country. If the Qilin lands, it will have an imasurable impact on T City. Although we know how terrifying the Qilin is, for the lives of millions of citizens, we must intercept the Qilin as much as possible to buy ti for the evacuation of T City’s population!"
"The Qilin is landing?!" Lu Hong was baffled; the Qilin, which had run to the ocean, is now returning. Previously it never showed itself to humans, so why is it now landing right under the human’s noses? This doesn’t align with the usual style of the Qilin Xiong shou!
Unless······
Lu Hong had a suspicion that sothing might be chasing it, forcing it to return to the mainland of Hua Country quickly!
This must be the case. Thinking about it this way, the biggest crisis Hua Country might face isn’t its ancient mythical Qilin but an even fiercer foreign mythological mutant beast.
While pondering, Lu Hong had already reached the square. As it was afternoon, with the blazing sun overhead, the central square of Ziyuan District was empty, and under the scorching heatwaves, no one was willing to stroll here.
The military helicopter arrived as expected. Lu Hong leaped aboard and, with the helicopter’s guidance, quickly headed towards the coastal city, T City.
En route, Lu Hong called Zhong Minghuang again and shared his hypothesis.
Zhong Minghuang’s tone seed even more uneasy upon hearing this guess; after hanging up, Zhong Minghuang imdiately reported the news to Number One, who took it very seriously and ordered the military to start searching along the path of the Qilin.
Sure enough, twenty minutes later, the Military Departnt sent back an image.
A massive Three-headed Golden Dragon was tearing through the sky, sweeping up stormy thunder, accompanied by boundless waves, chasing towards Hua Country.
It was the Three-headed Golden Dragon, the nesis of Godzilla from the movies, and this dragon was noticeably several tis larger than the one in the films, with a body over a thousand ters long, appearing incredibly terrifying.
If this creature were to land in Hua Country, the nation would face a catastrophe.
Should they initiate a nuclear strike?
The Military Departnt imdiately reported a feasible combat plan to Number One.
After a few minutes of discussion among the upper echelons of Hua Country, they decided to test with a nuclear strike while the Three-headed Golden Dragon was still quite far from Hua Country.
Thus, Hua Country launched a nuclear strike.
A nuclear missile rushed towards the Three-headed Golden Dragon, and then the big HD screen turned snowy. When the picture reappeared, the massive Three-headed Golden Dragon seed utterly unhard, continuing to chase along the path where the Qilin fled.
This scene frightened Hua Country’s leaders.
The nuclear missile is considered the ultimate weapon of human society, and even this weapon had no threat to the Three-headed Golden Dragon. How could humans possibly defeat it?
Through the widespread network coverage, the massive body of the Three-headed Golden Dragon was also visible to Lu Hong via his mobile phone.
Indeed, sothing was chasing the Qilin, forcing it to disregard hiding its tracks from humans, or perhaps the Qilin’s action was actually seeking help from humanity.
However, humanity’s frailty seed unable to rescue the Qilin, potentially even leading to their downfall.
Lu Hong took a deep breath; now, he was just at First Transformation Level 6. How could he possibly combat such a Xiong shou, stronger than the Qilin?
Let us hope that my great Hua Country still possesses other ancient Xiong shou, to protect our nation!
For a mont, Lu Hong didn’t know what to do, but going to T City was a definite choice.
With the country in peril, he couldn’t just stand aside and watch.
After about two hours of flying, Lu Hong arrived at the temporary command post established by the Military Departnt in the shallow sea area of T City.
A large number of Hua Country’s Masters had already gathered around the command post, while the military maintained a periter lockdown and continued to evacuate the people of T City.
"How much ti is left to evacuate T City?" Lu Hong asked.
The temporary commander Admiral Zhang responded: "It still needs at least three more hours. T City is an international tropolis in Hua Country with a very dense population. This urgent temporary evacuation causes traffic congestion, and many citizens refuse to cooperate. We can only enforce asures, but even that faces significant obstacles."
Lu Hong nodded, understanding the situation. People living peacefully suddenly being told to evacuate by their country is distressing. And what about their property? It’s the result of their lifelong hard work, hoping for state compensation? That’s a joke; how could it be compensated?
For the wealthy, losing one house might be trivial, but they are the minority; the struggling masses, they’re too many.
"So what about the Qilin’s location now?"
Admiral Zhang pointed at a red dot on the HD electronic map: "It’s expected to land in T City in half an hour."
Lu Hong frowned slightly: "Is ti really that tight?"
"Does Mr. Lu have any good ideas?" Admiral Zhang looked expectantly; human weapons have no effect on such ancient Xiong shou, and now hope rests solely with the Masters.
"No."
Lu Hong shook his head, completely erasing Admiral Zhang’s bit of hope: "The Qilin Xiong shou is too powerful; at least a Second Transformation master is needed to fight against it. But I am only at First Transformation Level 6. Not just , currently, worldwide, there are no First Transformation Level 7 Masters, let alone Second Transformation masters."
"What can we do?!" Admiral Zhang was inwardly anxious, extrely frustrated.
"There’s another way." Lu Hong spoke up at this mont.
This statent drew the gaze and attention of hundreds of powerful Masters from Hua Country inside the command post.
"Mr. Lu, feel free to speak. As long as T City can be protected from destruction, Hua Country will certainly spare no effort." Admiral Zhang quickly spoke, making a promise.
Lu Hong was silent for a mont, then said: "Do you still have Spirit Stones?"
Then Lu Hong took out a small bag of Spirit Stones from his pocket and said: "Not these small ones, but ones at least ten tis larger, and the number should exceed ten thousand. If Hua Country has such a Spirit Stone reserve, I can try to break through Second Transformation; once I succeed, I can intercept both of these creatures."
"This······"
Lu Hong’s proposed thod left Admiral Zhang sowhat speechless; needing Spirit Stones was already a stretch, but asking for ones ten tis larger, seriously.
However, Admiral Zhang did not refuse, and said: "I must report this matter upwards; I can’t make the decision."
Listening to Admiral Zhang’s tone, all the Masters present had a peculiar look in their eyes. It seed the state might not be lacking such Spirit Stones, yet their salaries were so stingy, why?
At this mont, soone felt jealousy and said: "If I were given these Spirit Stones, I could also break through Second Transformation and resolve this event."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong shot a glance at the Master who spoke and said calmly: "You can’t. Even if you advance to Second Transformation, have you mastered Second Transformation Skills? Without powerful Skills, how can you confront the Xiong shou? Upon entering Second Transformation, you can’t properly harness the power within, so how can you confront the Xiong shou?"
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, the other person imdiately retorted: "I can’t, but you can?"
"Yes, I can because I have already mastered all Second Transformation Skills in advance."
"I don’t believe you. What if you are lying? I think you are exploiting this national crisis to drain the state’s resources!"
