Chapter 198: Chapter 108: Beast Tide Appears Chapter 198: Chapter 108: Beast Tide Appears (Congratulations to the new helmsman “Ran Family Dam”)
Now everyone else was watching the Thunderhawk suspended in mid-air, but only he noticed the enormous tentacle that flashed and swept away a building.
Could this be an illusion?
Distracted from witnessing the Thunderhawk’s fierce military maneuvers, he thought he was seeing things.
Yes, it must be an illusion.
During broad daylight in the core area of Purple Jade Star, how could such scenes from a story manifest?
What a joke!
If such monsters existed, the military would have acted by now.
Just as this thought sprang to his mind, he truly saw several flashes of fire appear on that huge tentacle.
But the massive tentacle, as if provoked, lashed back and even brought down another building.
Shivering.
His teeth continuously chattered; could this be real?
Look, a monster!
He screamed, shouting to the people around him.
But everyone thought he was referring to the Thunderhawk.
Even Mu Fan thought it was a reaction to just having seen the Mecha.
However, as Black’s voice came over the earpiece, and the Thunderhawk that suddenly vanished in a flash of purple lightning without any warning…
Why leave in such a hurry!
Mu Fan finally realized something was wrong.
“Mu Fan, surveillance has discovered something unbelievable.”
“What is it?”
“The city’s public channels have been commandeered for emergency use, and the latest news from the City Surveillance Bureau is… there’s an unknown creature invading!”
Mu Fan suddenly looked up and rushed to the glass curtain wall; from the excellent vantage point on the twenty-eighth floor, he immediately saw the rampaging giant tentacle!
The Thunderhawk’s chest housed the Energy Fusion Core behind its cockpit.
At this moment, Ruan Xiongfei was suspended in an electrically charged energy field, his bulky physique and now darkened expression making him resemble a Demon God.
“What?
A Realm-Breaking Gate has been discovered in the Primitive Forest Zone, and creatures from the Outer Domain are continuously pouring in.”
“Creatures from the Outer Domain!
Which race dared to open a Realm-Breaking Gate into the Federation’s territory this time?”
As Ruan Xiongfei grimly finished speaking, the cockpit responded:
“Reporting to the commander, preliminary sightings of Outer Domain creatures include two Level 27 Big King Land Squids, one Level 28 Ghostly Floating Beast, and… thousands of Level 22-25 creatures detected so far, with numbers below Level 22 already exceeding 8000!”
“It can’t possibly be a Realm-Breaking Gate!
Even a Level 5 gate doesn’t have this capacity.
The cost of opening a high-tier gate is unimaginable, and Purple Jade Star isn’t a military stronghold— it absolutely doesn’t justify an assault by an Outer Domain race in this manner.
Tell me immediately if there’s any anomaly!”
As the Thunderhawk passed overhead like a streak of lightning, the entire landscape beneath Zhou Tian was now clearly visible, displaying a densely packed Beast Tide surging below.
Starting from the A sector of Purple Jade Star at the boundary river, an emerging swarm of beasts had already eroded a tenth of the city’s area.
The areas overrun by the beast swarm had turned into ruins, completely devoid of life.
“Report, Commander, an anomaly has been discovered.
The military had attacked a Big King Land Squid and, although unsuccessful, we noticed that the body tissue of the Fierce Beast, when separated from the main body, turned into a pitch-black energy fluid with no cellular structures at all.
Moreover, the healing power of this Big King Land Squid is astonishing!”
This resembled the native beasts from the Lyra Star River in the Outer Domain, and it definitely wasn’t merely a Big King Land Squid… Ruan Xiongfei instinctively felt that this situation would definitely exceed the usual scenarios of simple spatial rifts or Realm-Breaking Gates.
“Captain Ruan, hello, I am Alexey, Deputy Commander of the Purple Jade Star military and a Major General.”
At that moment, a different voice came into the cockpit, interrupting Ruan Xiongfei’s thoughts.
He knew this name; it belonged to the secondary military figure of Purple Jade Star.
Alexey had enlisted over twenty years before him, and he deserved his respect.
“Commander, I have already retired,” Ruan Xiongfei stated, clarifying his status before anything else.
“Heh, truly worthy of being the owner of Thunderbolt Fighting God, perhaps many are unaware that your character even surpasses your strength,” Alexey chuckled, continuing,
“Captain Ruan, please do not be hasty in refusing.
The sudden catastrophe on Purple Jade Star had shown some signs during the special recruitment phase from the people from Capital Star, but they ignored it.
Nobody had expected the situation to deteriorate suddenly after their departure.
Now, the threat level of this Alien Beast Tide is escalating, especially with the emergence of high-tier creatures.
We… lack the power to contend with them, so I must request your assistance, Captain Ruan!”
Having a deputy commander of a planet show this much deference to a battalion captain was a unique situation for Ruan Xiongfei in the Federation.
“Please rest assured, Commander, now that I am aware, I will not shirk,” Ruan Xiongfei declared solemnly.
Alexey’s tone lifted, clearly relieved by Ruan Xiongfei’s promise, as having someone currently at the pinnacle of manned mechanical combat substantially relieved the military’s burden by two-thirds.
“Captain Ruan, to cut a long story short, as the cause of the incident is unclear, the military is diligently investigating the origin of these Alien Beasts.
However, our mobile forces currently cannot approach the Primitive Forest region, so could you please…”
“Go into the Primitive Forest, right?
I can.” Ruan Xiongfei immediately agreed.
“And there’s also…”
“What else?” Ruan Xiongfei said impatiently, wondering why the Deputy Commander of Purple Jade Star was so hesitant.
“It’s truly hard to mention, but it was requested by a benefactor, consider it an unwelcome favor.
You can decide how to proceed after I explain, Captain Ruan.”
“Go ahead,” Ruan Xiongfei frowned.
“The Mountain Master of the first Mountain Mist Association entrusted me to act as a mediator and relay his exact words to you.”
“Mr.
Ruan, I am the first Mountain Master of the Mountain Mist Association.
Due to family reasons, I have profound ties with the Military Department, but this incident is entirely accidental.
I am not present on Purple Jade Star, thus I was unaware of the unilateral actions of the fourth Mountain Master.
The fourth Mountain Master and the Deacon rightfully deserve their fatal verdicts.
After reviewing the communication logs, I learned of the words you spoke, Mr.
Ruan.
After an investigation, I swear on my family’s honor that the Mountain Mist Association has no involvement in the mysterious incidents you mentioned.
To appease your anger, the Mountain Mist Association will fully cooperate with your demands and will also provide substantial compensation to you and that young man afterward.
Additionally, the Mountain Mist Association will collaborate with you to investigate the true reasons behind the incidents you described.”
Upon hearing these words again, Ruan Xiongfei was almost ready to hang up the call and directly attack the Mountain Mist’s base.
However, facing this Deputy Commander who was over twenty years his senior and presented such a humble demeanor, he couldn’t just lash out.
Thinking carefully about the language used, Ruan Xiongfei raised a few questions.
“Commander Alexey, how credible is the first Mountain Master?
Is his family… part of a military lineage?”
