The scene was chaotic, with only two desolate beast corpses left that Lu Hong had killed.
"I don’t know how they appeared! They just ca out like that."
"Yes, they charged straight through, picking up big trucks and throwing them, it was terrifying!"
"There were three big crabs, how could such desolate beasts appear here?"
Many people, still shaken, discussed among themselves, many were busy rescuing people buried under the rubble, and others were directly crushed beneath big trucks, their fate unknown.
The desolate beast attack was too sudden, the civilians here had little combat power, and although the desolate beasts were killed instantly, the losses were still very severe.
Lu Zhiwei was in the ruins, searching for buried people with a rescue device, she lifted a car and saw a person underneath covered in blood and imdiately shouted, "This person is still breathing! Quick!"
Despite the severe losses, fortunately, this world was not short of strong dical personnel, especially in the city center, where ergency asures were very well established. As long as people were still hanging on to a breath, doctors awakened with systems like the "Divine dicine System" would bring them back, even if they had lost limbs.
One could say, facing a desolate beast attack in the city was much less dangerous than in the wild wastelands outside the domain. Because in the wild wastelands outside, it was not certain that there would be doctors skilled in high-level dical techniques, and if soone in the team got injuries that could not be treated and they couldn’t make it back to the borders of Jiuzhou, they were likely dood.
But cities were never short of healers.
Lu Hong’s raven was scanning the desolate beast corpse, the more it scanned, the more surprising the data it displayed. Initially, he too thought that so criminal had released the desolate beast, but he soon realized, the desolate beast in front of him was not from their system at all!
In the territory of Jiuzhou, aside from those beasts controlled by the system, there were basically no large desolate beasts causing trouble, all were kept outside the city walls. The few Jiuzhou desolate beasts that managed to live and enter were very weak and only a small part were edible.
Such a huge desolate beast like this one in front of them was not allowed to be brought in! Because the borders of Jiuzhou had very strict checkpoints, and large desolate beasts could not possibly be smuggled in alive through system space.
If you wanted to smuggle desolate beasts, you had to ensure that you could fool a UR-grade inspection!
The suppression on the system was not a joke, even if you had all sorts of powerful space-smuggling systems, you could not hide from a UR inspection!
But still, such a desolate beast had appeared in this district, and that was not right.
"Xiao Liu, over here!"
Lu Hong saw a girl whose arm was almost torn off, covered in blood mixed with mud, her clothes also torn, he quickly took off his own coat, wrapped her in it, then waved to the dical staff to attend to her wounds.
He walked under a billboard, pondering slightly.
"Witnesses said there were three desolate beasts, but why are there only two here?"
Lu Hong’s expression was very grave as he continuеd to search. If the remaining desolate beast had escaped, the consequences would be severe.
"Xiao Ma, have you seen the third One-Ard Crab’s corpse?" Lu Hong asked.
"No, but this lady said she saw a young man punch the One-Ard Crab into two halves." Xiao Ma turned back and spoke from not far away.
"A young man?" Lu Hong was slightly surprised.
"Yes, that guy! His fists were blazing with fire. He was so powerful that he kicked the crab into the air just as it fell, and then the crab was cooked mid-air!" an old lady was saying loudly.
"Fists blazing with fire? Could it be—"
The image of Xiang Beifei flashed through Lu Hong’s mind.
There weren’t many young n who could cover their fists with flas. It sounded just like his Rapid Fla, so if not that kid, who else could it be?
He looked around but didn’t see Xiang Beifei, feeling a bit puzzled. Where had the kid run off to after throwing a punch?
"Dad, how are things over here?" Lu Zhiwei was on a break, spending her days with the enforcent officers, she had just been dispersing the crowd.
"Have you seen Beifei?" Lu Hong asked.
"Beifei? Is he here?" Lu Zhiwei asked, puzzled.
"You haven’t seen him either?"
Lu Hong felt a bit regretful for so reason; he was disappointed that he hadn’t seen the kid imdiately, but he quickly said, "Never mind that, we need to report the situation here quickly… But speaking of which, why did the One-Ard Crab beco so huge?"
However, just as he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly ca from behind, as if sothing was creepily climbing, and at that mont, a strange aura also started to pervade.
Lu Hong felt sothing was off and imdiately turned around, only to find that the One-Ard Crab he had killed seed to have cracks appearing on its body, and from those cracks, countless little crabs scrambled out!
These small crabs were only the size of a palm, nothing like the seven to eight ter high giant crab before, however, it seed these small crabs had all crawled out from the body of the large crab, or perhaps — the large crab was made up of these countless tiny crabs!
In just the blink of an eye, the bodies of the two giant crabs had decomposed into countless small crabs, but these small crabs transford into beams of white light, converging from all directions, and astonishingly reford into a powerful large One-Ard Crab.
And this ti, the One-Ard Crab had an extrely violent and powerful aura about it. Upon closer inspection, it had actually reached the mid-ridian Opening stage!
"How could this be?"
Lu Hong was shocked, and his hands ignited with intense flas once again.
He had never anticipated such a freak occurrence!
The One-Ard Crabs, once mature, typically only possessed the strength of the late Qi-Controlling stage, and their size was at most just over a ter. However, the one before them now exceeded everyone’s understanding!
It had actually beco a mid-ridian Opening desolate beast!
"Quick! Get the remaining people out of here!"
Lu Hong, sensing sothing was amiss, imdiately shouted and gestured to the other law enforcent officers while he himself charged at the desolate beast!
The reconsolidated One-Ard Crab roared vehently. Its size had surged to over ten ters tall, even more exaggerated than before, resembling a mountain. Its falling shadow cast a terrifying gloom.
Its eyes radiated red light, agitated and ferocious, constantly scanning its surroundings. Many people on the street had evacuated, and not many were left now. However, it seed to have spotted soone in a building and, in anger, it let out a piercing screech, then swung its iron-like pincer, smashing it into that building!
Bang!
The building was suddenly torn open with a large hole, and a scream ca from inside, where a little girl frantically hid behind a bookcase.
The little girl looked terrified. She was alone at ho, thinking the crisis was over. The law enforcent officers hadn’t managed to evacuate everyone house by house yet, overlooking the child hiding indoors.
"Roar!"
The One-Ard Crab spewed several white foams from its massive mouth, then stretched out its pincer intending to grab the little girl. At that mont, Lu Hong had already faced it, punching the pincer!
However, this ti his punch didn’t shatter the One-Ard Crab, nor did it break its shell; instead, he himself received a severe counter-shock. A strange force from the pincer blasted over, sending Lu Hong flying back!
Lu Hong hit a wall, creating a large hole in it. But he was, after all, a mid-ridian Opening martial artist; he quickly stabilized himself and darted towards the little girl, grabbing her and then leaping down to the ground with a bound.
"Take her to a safe place! Go find help!"
Lu Hong threw the little girl towards Lu Zhiwei.
"Dad, be careful!"
Lu Zhiwei quickly flew up, catching the little girl, and urgently shouted to her father. She had wanted to help, but seeing that the desolate beast now possessed mid-ridian Opening strength, which was imnsely powerful and far beyond her capabilities, she didn’t act recklessly and imdiately retreated with the little girl.
As she ran out to the street, she kept anxiously looking back at her father. But as she turned her head, she saw the One-Ard Crab swinging its huge pincer down on Lu Hong.
Lu Hong was flung out again, shattering the bus stop sign.
"Dad!"
Lu Zhiwei stopped in her tracks, her voice urgent.
"I’m fine; you hurry and get the others away from here!"
Lu Hong wiped the blood trickling from his mouth, his body bursting into explosive flas once again. Like an arrow released from a bow, he soared high and charged at the One-Ard Crab.
"How could this desolate beast be so strong?"
Lu Zhiwei, clutching the little girl, ran outwards, deeply worried about her father. Although her father was also at the mid-ridian Opening stage, it was clear that the defensive power of the One-Ard Crab was still superior.
Such large-scale turmoil had basically not occurred within Jiuzhou’s territory, and there had been no city attacks by desolate beasts for four years.
Especially since this place was thousands of miles away from the desolate beast border. Even if there were beast tides breaking through the border, it would be the cities near the border that were attacked first. This area, being an inland safety zone, had never been attacked by desolate beasts.
Inland cities had very few elite martial artists who could fight, as martial artists mostly hunted desolate beasts in the wild borders or served as border guards. In city residential areas, there were no desolate beasts to hunt, rendering martial strength unnecessary. Literary Dao artists were more common, and martial artists didn’t stay long in inland cities, raising a very serious problem.
In a short ti, they could hardly find any mid-ridian Opening martial artists nearby on this street!
Now that chaos had erupted with a mid-ridian Opening desolate beast rampaging, and this wasn’t a school where a powerful Divine Refining teacher could be easily summoned for backup. The schools were also a thousand miles away at the borders, and couldn’t imdiately rush over.
She needed to find help!
