"Roar!!"
On the ground, dozens of monsters roared up at the sky, unable to fly and only able to stare helplessly at Qin Shou and the others in mid-air, visible but untouchable.
"Screech!"
From the distant pinnacle of the Eastern Bright Pearl Tower, a massive Golden Eagle spotted the Greedy Snake in the air. It spread its enormous wings, spanning over thirty ters, before surging toward Qin Shou and the group.
Qin Shou naturally noticed the anomaly high above. He turned to Long Xia and the others and said, "You ride the Greedy Snake to a safe area. I'll stay behind to cover our retreat."
With those words, he motioned for the Greedy Snake to dive down, skipping over the heads of the Fla Monsters before plunging directly into the inner city.
"Roar!!"
The Fla Monsters attempted to pursue, but Qin Shou and Steel Garuru fired two Extre Cold Energy Cannons, blasting them back and intercepting their advance.
"Boom!!"
The icy energy wreaked havoc, and the flas surrounding the monsters dimd further.
"Go!"
Qin Shou stowed Steel Garuru into the Space Gate, then dove into the thickets. His massive seven-ter fra vanished instantly.
anwhile, the massive Golden Eagle, moving at unparalleled speed and emanating an imposing aura, hovered above the Fla Monsters.
Its sharp, sword-like eyes swept across the ground below as it searched, but found no trace of the Greedy Snake.
After a brief hesitation, it flapped its wings, made a sudden descent, and effortlessly grabbed one of the Fla Monsters with its enormous, razor-sharp claws before ascending again, flying off in the direction of the Eastern Bright Pearl Tower.
Stepping out shouldn't be in vain—might as well grab a snack.
With the departure of the enormous Golden Eagle, its lingering aura still left the Fla Monsters trembling in fear.
Clearly, the Golden Eagle was nothing less than a Horror-level Monster.
In the thickets, Qin Shou, transford into Big Big Wolf, clicked his tongue in awe.
He turned to look at the backs of the Fla Monsters.
Only then did he notice that flas in the form of spinal columns radiated from the creatures' backs.
Could it be that this was the source of their Fla Power?
Perhaps it's worth testing them head-on!
Seizing the mont while the monsters were still off balance, Qin Shou summoned the System Space, and a nine-ter tall King Kong burst forth like a whirlwind.
"Roar!!"
King Kong let out an earth-shaking roar and leaped forward, his massive right fist brimming with unmatched Huge Strength, smashing into the spine of the nearest Fla Monster.
"Screech!!"
A piercing screech that stood apart from the monsters' usual roaring rang out. The monster's spine snapped under King Kong's punch, sending its body flying and knocking over several other Fla Monsters on its collision path.
"Roar!!"
The remaining Fla Monsters went into a frenzy once more, charging at King Kong relentlessly.
King Kong's eyes glead with intense battle intent. He beat his massive chest and roared while rushing to et the monsters head-on.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom!!"
The earth trembled. King Kong swung his imnse fists, smashing one Fla Monster's chest with his sheer force.
"Bang!!"
The unimaginable strength erupted, sending the Fla Monster hurtling over a hundred ters, leaving behind a shallow pit as it slamd into the ground.
"Roar!!"
King Kong tilted his head back and let out an earth-shaking howl, his aura surging sky-high.
Just then, a Fla Monster launched a sneak attack from behind him—but as if anticipating this move all along, King Kong stepped back slightly and grabbed the monster by its head, slamming it onto the ground violently.
"Bang!!"
The ground trembled faintly, leaving yet another shallow crater.
The Fla Monster's head cracked under the heavy blow, yet it still seed unscathed and lively.
King Kong glimpsed the fla-patterned spine on the monster's back and smashed his fist onto it without hesitation.
"Boom!"
"Crack..."
"Screech!"
A piercing screech erupted alongside the sound of snapping bone as the flas in the monster's eyes disappeared instantly, its body crumpling to the ground.
With one monster defeated, the rest grew increasingly manic. Fire dragons spewed from their mouths, engulfing King Kong in torrents of flas.
"Roar!!"
King Kong roared in panic, slapping at the flas covering his body, looking visibly terrified.
In the thickets, Qin Shou hurriedly released Steel Garuru, whose Extre Cold Energy Cannon blasted down beside King Kong.
"Bang!!"
The blast of icy energy spread, extinguishing the flas on King Kong's body. Enraged, King Kong charged at the group of monsters.
With King Kong's unparalleled Huge Strength and seemingly innate combat instincts, he quickly identified the weak points of the monsters of the sa Level, often breaking their spines with a single punch and rendering them incapacitated.
anwhile, the Fla Monsters' Fla Power was restrained by Steel Garuru, freeing King Kong from concern about fire damage and making him fearless in their midst.
With all these advantages, Qin Shou managed to make two Dangerous nine-star Beast Cultivations drive dozens of monsters of the sa Level into complete retreat.
King Kong, in particular, proved far stronger than Qin Shou had initially anticipated!
Watching the monsters flee, Qin Shou's expression beca contemplative.
It seems these creatures are not as mindlessly aggressive as they appeared. Even they would retreat when sufficiently intimidated.
Next, Qin Shou began cleaning up the battlefield. He approached one of the defeated Fla Monsters and motioned for King Kong to extract its spine.
Skipping past the grueso monts, omitted the next three thousand words.
At this mont, a three-ter-long blood-red giant centipede monster had been placed in front of Qin Shou by King Kong.
The terrifying multitude of legs and the elongated, spine-like body sent chills down Qin Shou's spine.
This thing bore a resemblance to the "Spine Gu" from a certain ani, similarly parasitic in human spines, immune to flas, and capable of controlling corpses to attack enemies.
But... how does a Spine Gu this huge ever fit into a human body?
Just as the thought ca to him, the "Spine Gu" corpse suddenly released wisps of fla, shrinking its form down until it matched a human spine in size.
Qin Shou: "..."
Think it, and it happens.
Regardless of whether this was the "Spine Gu" he imagined, Qin Shou directed King Kong to extract the spines from the remaining eleven Fla Monsters and store their bodies and these spines in the Space.
Slaying eleven monsters earned him seventy-seven Synthesis Points, with each contributing seven points.
It seems the original strength of these Spine Gu creatures was only Dangerous Seven Stars, but with absorbed Fla Power, they surged to Dangerous Nine Stars.
For parasitic beasts capable of amplifying strength, Qin Shou imdiately thought of the synthesis formula for the Spine Gu...
...
A surprisingly intact shopping mall.
The Greedy Snake, being too massive, remained coiled in the mall's lobby.
Beside it, Lin Xiaoi and the others surveyed every corner of the mall cautiously, their expressions varied.
Long Xia's eyes narrowed as he said, "This place has been abandoned for over a hundred years, yet apart from being worn, it's not as decrepit as you'd expect. Sothing's off!"
Lin Xiaoi nodded gravely. "Exactly. It's almost as if... soone has been cleaning it regularly."
At those words, Hong Cong's complexion turned pale once more.
"You... You guys are scaring ! This place's been deserted for over a century—how could anyone be cleaning it?" he stamred.
Ye Ning glanced at Hong Cong with disdain. "Look at you, acting all cowardly!"
Hong Cong's face darkened. He retorted, "If your Beast Cultivation were seriously wounded and on the brink of death, you'd be more scared than !"
"Heh..." Ye Ning responded with a sarcastic smirk.
Lin Xiaoi frowned and snapped, "Qin Shou still isn't back, and you two have the nerve to bicker?"
The two realized their inappropriate behavior and promptly fell silent.
Long Xia, in contrast, seed unfazed. With a cheeky grin, he said, "Don't worry. Knowing Lao Qin as I do, if he weren't confident, he'd have bolted a long ti ago..."
"Ahem!"
Before he could finish, the sound of a deliberate cough ca from behind him.
In an instant, Long Xia's face went stiff as he turned around slowly, only to see Qin Shou grinning ominously, his tone dripping with malice.
"Long Xia, care to repeat what you were saying? Sothing about bolting?"
