"No!!"
"Boom!!"
Smith let out a piercing scream, followed by the air shield shattering and flames engulfing the entire base.
Qin Shou landed deftly away from the center of the energy explosion.
Behind him lay the base, consumed by fire and reduced to ruins.
Real men never look back at explosions!
He silently gave himself a thumbs up.
"Ding, you have slain a human in the Unbreakable Realm..."
The system prompt sounded, Qin Shou’s chest heaved as he let out a slight sigh of relief.
The Unbreakable Realm was indeed challenging to kill.
In situations where conflicts escalated straight to life-or-death battles, Qin Shou had gradually adapted to the reality.
In truth, he had no other option but to adapt.
Yield or fight to the end.
He chose the latter.
On the other side, the group affected by the energy wave recovered, rising from the ground covered in dirt and ash as they stared at the destroyed base in shock.
"Lord Smith..."
"He lost..."
"Not only lost, but he died."
"Our base is destroyed, we need revenge..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you’re overheard, you’re done for."
"But we..."
"Just shut up, don’t ask, don’t talk. Wait for the group to send someone, they’ll handle this."
"A powerhouse from the Unbreakable Realm has died; the group definitely won’t let this go easily."
"Haha, Beast Cultivation Main City is a global top-tier force. What do you expect the group to do?"
"But this time, it was an Unbreakable Realm expert who was killed. Do you think it’ll be brushed aside just like that?"
"What else can be done? Lord Smith was the one who threatened first..."
The crowd buzzed with discussions, while Bruce, trembling with fear, discreetly hid in a corner, his body shaking uncontrollably.
Please don’t remember me...
But with Qin Shou’s petty nature, how could he possibly let him off?
Qin Shou glanced at Bruce, who was hiding among the crowd. A red glimmer flashed across the lenses of his mask.
If I say you’ll go bankrupt, then you will!
Before he had taken a few steps, massive swarms of Bloodsucking Bats poured out from the black clouds above, descending upon the base in overwhelming numbers.
The base’s shield was shattered, prompting large-scale attacks from the bat swarm.
"Screech—"
The sonic waves spread outward, causing Qin Shou’s battle armor to stall and become sluggish.
No sooner could Qin Shou retreat underground, the ground beneath him began shaking violently as an ear-piercing, chilling screech emanated from below.
The screech was accompanied by visible sonic waves that rippled across the earth indiscriminately.
The areas traversed by the sonic waves left people clutching their heads in agony, overwhelmed by searing pain as they crumpled to the ground, wailing in torment.
"Ahhh!!"
"This is..."
"My head is going to explode..."
Screams echoed everywhere, as Bruce, hiding among the people, clutched his head in utter pain, blood streaming from his orifices as he shouted in panicked desperation.
"Ahh... it’s coming out finally. We’re done for..."
Meanwhile, Qin Shou was suffering just as much. Without his battle armor, he wasn’t significantly stronger than an ordinary Vajra Nine Stars warrior.
But this intense pain came quickly and subsided just as fast.
Within seconds, the kneeling Qin Shou trembled as a gentle radiance surfaced in his mind, dissipating the agony gradually.
Drenched in sweat, he gasped for breath and looked toward the Guard Team members who were still writhing in pain.
"What’s going on?"
He rubbed his dizzy head, wearing a contemplative expression.
It was that radiance...
"Rumble..."
Lost in thought, the ground quaked anew, sending dirt flying into the air. The terrifying giant beast beneath the earth was about to emerge!
"Roar!"
Black clouds churned as the swarm of Bloodsucking Bats screeched in excitement, seemingly heralding the emergence of a gigantic lifeform rising from the ground.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The ground split and heaved, revealing a pitch-black giant spike.
No, not a spike.
It was... a giant beast claw, enormous as a skyscraper!
Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat as he swiftly retreated hundreds of meters to hide behind a giant stone and observe from afar.
From his vantage point, he saw the massive beast claw breaking through the surface, its sleek black meat-wing brushing aside the soil.
As the beast’s form gradually emerged, a black meat-wing spanning over a hundred meters came into view.
Of course, it was a bat’s meat-wing!
"Thump..."
The earth continued to quake as, with the giant bat emerging from below, its enormous wings flapped, inciting a howling storm and unleashing a terrifyingly cold aura that swept over several kilometers.
The giant bat’s wings stretched over 200 meters, rivaling Radon’s massive form Qin Shou previously encountered in the mines, and perhaps even surpassing it slightly.
"Roar!!"
The colossal bat slightly spread its wings, stirring a wilder gale that scattered the Guard Team like autumn leaves, disappearing from Qin Shou’s sight in moments.
Swiftly, it spread its sun-blocking wings, surged into the sky, and was swarmed by countless Bloodsucking Bats, vanishing into the black clouds.
"Buzz..."
The black clouds churned as a sliver of sunlight pierced through them, shedding faint illumination across the apocalyptic landscape.
In the distance, Qin Shou smiled in relief; the black clouds were breaking.
But observing the movement of the clouds made his heart jolt suddenly.
The giant bat was heading towards a densely populated city!
He raised his communicator, only to find there was still no signal.
He would have to wait for the giant bat to move away before communications could resume normal operation.
Qin Shou rubbed his chin as the ground beneath him made an unusual sound. Green vines whisked the wind-stricken Bruce up in front of him.
Looking at the groggy Bruce, Qin Shou snatched his Space Wristwatch before signaling Groot to inject him with Life Energy.
With the infusion of Life Energy, Bruce’s condition only marginally improved, but at least he regained a sliver of consciousness.
"Let me ask you, why is there a monster under the base?"
Bruce’s face paled in terror. "I... I don’t know..."
Expressionless, Qin Shou pressed the Aurora Sword against Bruce’s neck.
"Can you answer me now?"
Sweat beaded on Bruce’s forehead. "Yes, yes, yes! Qin Shou, please, hold your hand steady. I’ll talk, I’ll talk... These Bloodsucking Bats came out of the meteorite suddenly."
