“It’s the flower! The flower is controlling the lightning power!” Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes as a gleam of light flashed across them.
“Roar…” The giant snapping turtle suddenly opened its mouth wide and uttered a thunderous roar, baring its sharp teeth that were shining with a cold luster.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The enormous snapping turtle suddenly moved its four huge legs and started running toward Wu Chengyue and his people. It was running very speedily, and its gigantic body even quaked the earth. The surrounding plants were either pressed to the ground or bumped broken. Nothing could slow the turtle down.
“Damn! Is this still a turtle? How can it run so fast!” Xiao Licheng slightly widened his eyes.
“Move!” Wu Chengyue swung an arm forward and gave his order.
All of a sudden, a large, brightly glowing lightning bolt struck at the snapping turtle.
Boom!
The thunder flower was only at level-five while the snapping turtle had already entered level-seven. As Wu Chengyue’s lightning descended from the sky, a green light screen suddenly rose from the turtle’s thick shell, enveloping both the flower and the turtle itself.
The green light screen unexpectedly managed to shield the two creatures against the lightning power. It was like an energy shield, protecting the snapping turtle and the flower.
The flower raised its petals, facing the sky. The tails of the petals swayed without being blown by any wind. Next, a purple light flashed across the five petals, gathered in the pistil, then flashed out of the flower up into the sky.
Sizzle… Boom…
Once again, a lightning bolt fell from the sky even though no dark cloud was seen. This time, the lightning’s target was Wu Chengyue’s head.
Wu Chengyue raised a hand and caught the lightning bolt, then conveniently threw it at the snapping turtle.
Bang!
The turtle’s energy shield blocked the attack once again.
Once the battle started, Lin Qiao on the other side of the forest started feeling the energy waves with curiosity.
“Thunder power?” She raised her head to look at the sky in that area, seeing lightning and hearing thunders. At first, she thought that it was Wu Chengyue alone who had created the lightning, but then sensed a different kind of lightning energy that was not the same as his.
“Are they here to look for thunder beasts?” Qiu Lili looked at the sky as well. She couldn’t ignore those loud noises even if she wanted to.
“I guess so,” Lin Qiao turned her eyes away from the sky and kept observing the lake.
On the other side, the snapping turtle realized that its friend’s attack barely caused the enemy any harm. So, it rushed toward the tree that Wu Chengyue was on at a very high speed.
Bang! The snapping turtle was strangely fast. As it rushed over, Wu Chengyue quickly leaped off the tree. Right after that, a loud noise could be heard from the tree, and then the leaves started falling.
“Roar…” The collision seemed to not affect the turtle at all. It gave a roar, then followed behind Wu Chengyue. It bumped into everything in its way; rocks, trees… everything was damaged and sent into the sky.
While running, the snapping turtle suddenly bent is legs and then leaped high.
“Oh my! You are a turtle! Is it really okay for you to jump so high and so agilely?” Xiao Licheng gaped his mouth as he watched the turtle fly across his head, clearly shocked.
Boom! The snapping turtle landed heavily on the ground, then charged at Xiao Licheng who was the nearest.
Xiao Licheng turned on his side and dodged immediately, then swung an arm to release his power to defend himself in the meanwhile. With that, a thick earth wall rose from the ground and blocked the turtle’s way.
Bang! The turtle bumped straight into the wall and violently shattered it.

Back in the outer area of All Beings Base, Wang Jian and his people turned back to glance at the zombie crowd after being driven into the base side by zombie number five. They thought that the zombie crowd would jam the road again, but that didn’t really happen. The road was still open; the zombie lady didn’t move either. She stood by the roadside, facing the other side of the road, seemingly waiting for someone.
“It looks like those zombies are expecting someone, right?” Huang Tiange looked back curiously. He thought for a moment, then continued, “Oh, I wonder if Li Honglin and the other scums have entered the base or not!”
“Forget about that. Our top priority now is to find the base. Our people need food and medicine, also rest,” Wang Jian didn’t pay attention to the zombies behind, but only looked straight ahead.
They had arrived in the area. However, Wang Jian had no idea where exactly the new base was located. He was a little confused after entering the site, as he didn’t know if he should go left or right.
But soon, he realized that he didn’t really need to worry about that, because an off-road car abruptly entered his sight.
“You’re from Hades Base, aren’t you? Follow us.” Five people got off the car as they looked at Wang Jian and his people and talked to them. They were wearing winter coats, hats, and snow boots, while holding rifles.
The five men stood on the road before Wang Jian’s motorcade. The one at the front talked to Wang Jian and his people.
“Yes, we are from Hades Base. Are you from the new base?” Wang Jian quickly stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the five in surprise.
“We are from All Beings Base, the new base here. Follow us!” The leader of the five nodded and responded. Then, he and his people got back into the car and drove it forward.
“Boss! Are they here to pick us up? Did they know that we were coming?” Huang Tiange leaned his head forward from the backseat to look at the off-road car while asking Wang Jian the question.
“I think you’re right,” Wang Jian nodded.
With the guide, they moved a lot faster than before. Soon, they saw a lot of people and a tall wall.
Earlier, they learned that a half of the fence wall in the new base was completed, and the other half was still under construction. Seeing the wall, Wang Jian figured that it was the completed half.
Some people were already expecting them at the entrance.
“Are they here yet? Bring them to Deputy Chief Yuan if they’re here.” The man who was in charge of the entrance said to the people on the off-road car.
“Yes, sir!” The squad leader waved a hand as he responded, then drove the car straight in. Behind them, Wang Jian and his people didn’t know what to do. They looked at the wide-open gate, but didn’t dare to drive in.
“Are we… are we supposed to drive in just like this?” The driver in Wang Jian’s car looked at the entrance, then at Wang Jian, without knowing what to do.
Wang Jian wasn’t sure about that either. “Eh… I guess so.” He said uncertainly.
