Lin Qiao, who was still fighting against the underground creatures, had no idea that Lan Lu had accidentally leaked her secret. The one who heard the secret still had doubts though. The others might not believe what Lan Lu said, yet the one who heard it seemed to have an unusual way of thinking.
Boom! Once again, the underground creature’s paw landed on Lin Qiao’s body and sent her flying away. She bumped into a building, creating a hole on the wall.
“Eh-hem!” Lin Qiao coughed out some black blood, then flashed out of the broken building.
Bang! Right after that, the level-eight underground creature bumped straight into the building through the hole that she had created. A series of thunderous noise could be heard as the three-story building was torn down.
Lin Qiao gave a sigh; she was still too weak. She was a zombie dominator, yet she hadn’t restored all of her power. Her opponent was a level-eight mutated beast in the crazy state, meaning that it was as strong as a level-nine being.
It was terrifying!
Currently, she was almost powerless against the creature. Most of her energy had scattered and drilled into the other underground creatures’ bodies, so she was in a pretty awful shape now.
Anyhow, the others suffered even worse than she did.
Among them all, Qiu Lili was the only one who stayed in good shape because she had been in the sky the whole time. Those creatures weren’t able to launch long-range attacks, so they could barely hurt her. Unlike her, the black panther who stayed on the ground looked miserable. Some more claw wounds were added to his back, and an ear of his was cut. If Qiu Lili didn’t lend a hand in time, his entire right ear would have been cut off.
Yun Meng shifted her shape and joined the battle again. Some of her bones were broken, so she was a little slow. She wasn’t able to deal with the big ones, and only handled the small ones.
After tearing down the building, the level-eight creature found that Lin Qiao had escaped again. As a result, it started to lose patience. Standing on top of the ruins, it sniffed at her, then abruptly turned and sniffed at All Beings Base.
Noticing the look on its face, Lin Qiao realized that something bad was going to happen. As she thought, the creature suddenly raised its head and uttered a loud roar.
“Roar…” The other underground creatures immediately responded to it, then turned away from the zombies and moved toward their leader.
All those zombies were injured. They were still alive, but they all looked miserable.
At that moment, Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, and the others, who were standing on top of the fence wall of All Beings Base, were all anxious because of the news from the battlefield. They had no way to harm those dangerous creatures effectively, so they couldn’t help. Neither were they as strong and hard to kill as the zombies were. If they joined the battle, all they could do would be worsening the trouble and slowing the zombies down, while also raising the chance of death.
Lin Qiao didn’t want to see that happen, so she didn’t bring those fragile human beings to the battlefield.
Currently, they could do no more than sending away the people who weren’t able to fight batch by batch, while keeping a close eye on the war situation.
“It’s bad! Chief can barely stop them!” Li Zheng returned from the front line and said to Yuan Tianxing anxiously.
“Tell us the details!” Lin Feng immediately said to him.
“At first, Chief was able to slow those underground creatures down with her power,” said Li Zheng, “But, the level-eight one went crazy. It’s way too powerful! Chief couldn’t keep attacking the other underground creatures while defending herself against the level-eight one, so she stopped holding off the other underground creatures. Now, Qiu Lili and all the others are injured. Not even Chief has a chance to win. Those creatures appear to be impatient. Currently, a large number of zombies are gathering between our base and the battlefield. I don’t think they can hold off those creatures for long though.”
Yuan Tianxing gave Lin Feng a glance, who nodded and said, “Go, now! Although she doesn’t want to ask for help, we can’t watch her and the others fight like this without being able to help at all.”
“Are you going to see our Chief? Don’t bother. He’s already here.” Another voice was suddenly heard.
Yuan Tianxing and the others turned, only to see Xiao Yunlong among them. No one noticed him show up.
“Are you saying that Chief Wu is here?” Seeing him, people were a little stunned at first. But, they soon realized what happened and all wore delighted smiles.
Xiao Yunlong grinned and said, “Of course! His wife might be gone if he didn’t come here after all.”
The others didn’t know how to respond to that.
On the battlefield, Lin Qiao noticed that all underground creatures seemed to have lost their interest in the zombies. She had a very bad feeling about that. So, she once again charged at the level-eight creature without thinking, turning all her energy into a puff of netherworld fire and sending it toward the creature.
A basin-sized dark lotus split up into countless streams of black fire, drifting toward the level-eight creature together. The fire drilled into its nose, mouth, and ears, then quickly spread inside its body.
“Roar!” This large stream of fire was a lot different from the thin thread that she threw out earlier. But still, Lin Qiao felt that her netherworld fire was suppressed and disabled from moving inside the creature’s body.
The level-eight underground creature stopped moving and gathered its energy to fight against the netherworld fire. It hunched its back, seemingly trying very hard to do something. Meanwhile, the red light shining out of his body sparkled intensely.
“Roar!” The other underground creatures bumped the zombies away and kept rushing toward the All Beings Base.
Lin Qiao’s power made the creature stop for half a minute. But all of a sudden, the enormous creature stood up and gave a thunderous roar. Meanwhile, a dazzling red light burst out of its body.
“Pah!” At that very moment, Lin Qiao felt that all the energy that she sent into the creature’s body was devoured. The feeling of emptiness made her blood, that had been held in her chest, gush out of her throat.
“Er…” The level-eight immediately turned to look at her, then sprung up and leaped high toward her, attempting to stomp her straight to death.
Suddenly, a half-meter-thick bolt of lightning that looked like a huge root descended from the sky and landed on the enormous creature’s body.
Bang!
“Roar!” The creature roared in pain as it thudded against the ground. The ground was dented, and a burnt smell was sensed.
Following the first lightning bolt, over ten more bolts fell in a row and struck down the other underground gorillas that had been moving toward All Beings Base.
As the level-eight underground creature leaped high, Lin Qiao struggled up and attempted to dodge. But at that point, a pair of arms lifted her and brought her to a man. After just one blink, she found herself somewhere else.
