After Qin Chuan returned to the sect, the Peak Masters and elders immediately surrounded him.
“Sect Master, you’re finally back.”
“We… thought you…”
Everyone looked worried.
Zhao Xuanxuan, on the other hand, was bawling her eyes out. Initially, she wanted to wait for Qin Chuan to come back and teach him a lesson. But, once she saw him, she couldn’t say anything.
Ma Qingxue was not good at expressing herself, but her eyes were filled with concern and worry.
Qin Chuan felt rather ashamed when he saw everyone.
“I’ve made everyone worried.” Qin Chuan said with self-blame.
“Sect Master, where did you go this whole year?
“I couldn’t reach you no matter what I did. I thought you had gotten into trouble.
“Fortunately, you are fine. You truly worried us, “Wang Zhixing said.
“It’s a long story. I will tell you all about it when I have the time.
“Most importantly, the monsters are awakening.
“What’s the situation out there now? ”
Wang Zhixing replied, “The monsters woke up two weeks ago, half a year earlier than predicted. It’s quite sudden.
“The early emergence of the monsters shook the world.
“The public thought that it was the end of the world, and everyone panicked.
“The higher-ups of the various countries are tired of resisting the monsters. Society is simply a mess.”
“What about our country? How is the situation?” Qin Chuan was most concerned about the state of his own country.
“We are still fine. All this time, we’ve been on guard against the sudden awakening of monsters.”
“The high walls we had built on the coastline are a solid hundred meters tall. It can withstand the Atomic Breath of level-two monsters.
“The monsters haven’t been able to charge in yet.
“Oh right! Most of the disciples from the Hero Company have gone to give help.”
“Okay, I understand the general situation.” Qin Chuan nodded.
Then,
He handed over the spirit stones, spirit pills, and magical artifacts he had taken from the land of legacy to the peak masters so that they could distribute them to the disciples below.
Right now, all the disciples in the sect had yet to reach the Golden Core Realm. This was largely related to him.
Now that the monsters had appeared, they had to speed up.
After distributing the items, Qin Chuan left the sect.
…
Xia Country, capital.
In a secret base.
Colonel Guan Zexiao convened with the heads of the various departments to discuss the strategy of dealing with the monsters in the future.
At this moment, a voice appeared in his mind.
Guan Zexiao was startled.
“General Fan, I’m going out to take an important call. You’ll host the meeting first.”
After giving his orders, Guan Zexiao walked out.
When he came to his office, Qin Chuan was already waiting there.
“Sect Master!!!”
When he saw Qin Chuan, Guan Zexiao was very excited.
Qin Chuan asked in a low voice, “Is Xia Country feeling any pressure?”
At the mention of this question, Guan Zexiao immediately calmed down and replied, “From the looks of it, we’re considered stable.
“Those monsters are smart. They know that our country is powerful, so they did not attack us. Instead, they went to the smaller countries that are weaker first.”
“What is the overall situation like now?” Qin Chuan went on.
Guan Zexiao said seriously, “Currently, we have currently discovered about 2,000 monsters.
“Among them, there are about 50 level-three monsters, 300 level-two monsters, and the rest are all level-one.”
After Guan Zexiao finished, he suddenly thought of something and continued, “Besides the monsters, the experimental subjects are also becoming more of a threat.
“The experimental subjects are a new life form created using monster genes.
“To them, monsters are like their kings. The monsters did not ignore the strength of the experimental subjects.
“After the monsters awakened, they gave the experimental subjects strength to facilitate their mutation and make them stronger.
“Actually, most of the countries are now occupied by the experimental subjects. Then, the monsters will come and carry out the final destruction.”
Qin Chuan had a certain understanding of the current situation of the world.
“I’ll deal with the monsters.” Qin Chuan had nothing else to say.
Guan Zexiao was stunned for a moment and said with concern, “Sect Master, the monsters we have observed are only the tip of the iceberg. There must be even stronger monsters in the depths of the seas.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head. He was well aware of what Guan Zexiao had said. After all, he had personally been to the place where the monsters hibernated.
The biggest threat to him now was the level-six monster.
When he dived into Devil’s Sea, he had seen tens of level-six monsters.
A level-three monster could easily destroy a city with a population of ten million.
As for level-six monsters, their destructive power far exceeded that of level-three monsters. They could easily destroy a country.
According to Qin Chuan’s judgment, an Atomic Breath of a level-six monster could destroy a country as large as the Yun Country.
If all the level-six monsters were to all appear and casually spat a few breaths, no country would be able to resist them. The world would probably be destroyed by the monsters very soon.
Qin Chuan was also glad that there was a land of legacy within the multi-colored crystal ball.
Otherwise, he would have wasted a year of cultivation time. He would simply be no match for those level-six monsters.
As he thought about the level-six monster, Qin Chuan suddenly thought of something.
He guessed that the monsters had not fully awakened.
If they were all awakened, high walls and firepower wouldn’t cut it. The monster’s destructive power of those high-level monsters would destroy the world.
Thus, he communicated this with Guan Zexiao, and it was as he had guessed.
From the looks of it, he had more time left than he had imagined.
After the exchange with Guan Zexiao, Qin Chuan left.
…
Northern Ice Continent.
This continent was close to the extreme north, and the temperatures were below zero degrees celsius all year round.
Due to the freezing weather all year round, the countries on this continent were relatively backward.
Although their country’s strength was backward, they thought that no country would choose to invade this place due to its geography.
But those monsters obviously did not consider geographical location.
Since it would be difficult to conquer a large country in a short period of time, they would start from those small countries. After occupying those small countries, they would plunder resources and speed up their own growth. Finally, they would destroy the remaining countries one by one.
After the monsters awakened, in just a few days, this continent fell.
Presently, the experimental subjects were wandering around the various cities of this continent, searching for any living people.
In a certain town.
A woman lived in a cellar with her two children.
It was already the third day of the monster occupation.
There were plenty of food and warm clothes in the cellar, which would allow them to live for a long time.
However, there would come a day when food would run out.
If they were not rescued, their food would run out, and they would starve to death.
Besides, the cellar was dimly lit.
If a person lived in a dark environment for a long time, their immunity would decrease, and they would suffer from various diseases.
Therefore, for this woman and her children, the longer they stayed, the worse things would become.
There was an old-fashioned wireless transmitter from the war times in the cellar.
Every day, the woman would use it to signal for help, but there was no response.
This was quite hopeless for her. She had even considered suicide.
But as soon as she saw her two children, those thoughts vanished instantly. Her conviction to live was stronger than ever reignited.
On this day, the silent wireless communication device suddenly rang.
However, this slight commotion attracted the experimental subjects.
Shocked, the woman hurriedly covered the wireless transmitter with a thick blanket to mute it and extinguished the oil lamp.
But it was too late.
The experimental subjects had already reached the top of the cellar.
When the experimental subjects stepped on the frozen soil, they released ear-piercing crunching sounds.
In the cellar, the woman and her children did not dare to breathe.
“Mommy, I’m scared!” The two children’s innocent eyes bulged with fear.
The woman wrapped her arms around her children tightly and brought them into her arms.
“Don’t be afraid. Mommy will protect you.”
The woman said firmly with tears in her eyes.
Pa!
Suddenly, a sharp claw pierced through the hard frozen earth and reached into the cellar.
The children in the woman’s arms screamed in horror.
The women clung to them, protecting them.
The next second!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
More claws pierced through the frozen ground.
The light shone through the hole left by the claws into the cellar.
The cellar was no longer dark. It was filled with light.
But, the light was not full of hope. Instead, it was the last light before death.
Very quickly, a large hole was dug into the frozen earth above the cellar.
The woman and children were exposed to the blood-stained fangs of the experimental subjects.
The experimental subjects did not kill the woman and children immediately. Instead, they surrounded the cellar and let out sharp growls as if they were mocking them or showing off.
Presently, the woman was in great despair. She did not fear death, but the children in her arms were about to suffer the pain of death at such a young age. She really couldn’t accept it.
“God! Please save us!”
The woman threw her head back and shouted. She only had god to rely on now.
Suddenly, the sound of whistling wind came from the sky.
A group of figures appeared under the blue sky.
They were all wearing white robes embroidered with auspicious clouds, stepping on huge swords with the wind.
