After being ravaged by Eerie Monsters, the entire Huizhou City is now witnessing the sprouting of green leaves on its desolate land. The city is eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a series of "thump thump thump" sounds came from the broken road, as if something was trampling on the ground.

Roar!!

A pitch-black creature with more than a dozen legs roared and fled frantically. Its appearance was terrifying, and what's more, it was carrying several people who were still bleeding in its mouth.

At that moment, a woman riding a snow-white tiger leaped from the still-standing building above and landed on the Eerie Monsters.

The white tiger roared, and with a powerful slap of its paw, it slammed the Eerie Monsters's head into the ground.

For a moment, the Eerie Monsters Distortion body was still struggling to get up.

A cold, commanding voice came from afar.

"Execute him!"

A buzzing sound began.

In a flash, countless laser beams shot out from the darkness, shattering the Eerie Monsters body into countless pieces, which were eventually reduced to ashes.

The woman controlled the white tiger, leaping away from the place where the Eerie Monsters had died. However, she looked at the Eerie Monsters's death with a hint of reluctance, sighed, and looked back in the direction of the previous command.

The one standing there is the Daoist Family Saint Son.

However, his gaze showed no pity for the Eerie Monsters's death, and his expression remained completely unmoved.

At this moment, people dressed in special forces uniforms emerged from the shadows, each carrying a newly developed weapon. The laser that had just killed the Eerie Monsters was emitted by these weapons.

"Sister Yao, shall we continue?"

"We've already killed three Eerie Monsters today. Although the team members could still continue fighting, I still suggest they take a break, since we've already exceeded our mission target for today."

With her dashing figure, Yao Jie rode on the white tiger, surveying the approaching team members. She nodded slightly and said, "Team Tiger, just call me Cheng Yao. I'm only temporarily supporting you. You don't need to explain these orders to me. Rest when you need to."

"Report on how many people died in your team today."

Tiger nodded and pulled a ball of light from his waist.

With a gentle press, the sphere of light began to disintegrate, and a beam of light shot into the sky; however, it was only a few dozen meters high, unfolding into a light curtain.

The team members who had moved closer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They all grabbed their weapons and ran to the Tiger Team to report their intelligence.

"Captain, Xiao Zhan died two hours ago."

"Captain, one hour ago..."

Until the report concludes.

Tiger Team's expression grew increasingly grim.

On just the first day of their counterattack, nearly half of their twenty-man squad had been killed, and this was only the first day!

Looking at the exhausted team members, the Tigers felt a pang of pity, but there was nothing they could do. After all, it was a battlefield; it was either the guerrillas who died or they themselves. This was never a competition to determine a winner, but a battlefield.

"After a six-hour rest, we will continue our journey."

"All the Eerie Monsters we killed today have been recorded. We'll be awarded Merit and honors upon our return, but... let's hope we're still alive by then."

"Of course, don't be afraid. Although many team members did die today, their sacrifices were glorious and their greatest contribution to Human Race."

We should be proud of them.

"..."

After giving a long explanation, Tiger Team ordered them to rest on the spot. The light spheres they had just released were perfectly square and were now being used to confuse the Eerie Monsters, at least giving the team a chance to catch their breath.

Cheng Yao listened silently without intervening. What she had seen today had already shattered her worldview. Huizhou City was now being invaded by Eerie Monsters, and their team had only entered later.

Because when the Special Affairs Bureau first entered Huizhou City.

Many Eerie Monsters had already gathered at the entrance to the Blood Net. After the powerful individuals killed the Eerie Monsters, they quickly headed towards the city wall.

Naturally, almost all the Eerie Monsters along the way were eliminated, but a large number of Eerie Monsters hid in the ruins, underground, or were too small to be discovered. These Eerie Monsters were left to be dealt with by the small teams.

The casualties were indeed heavy.

Is this what the man known as the Eerie Lord did?

That's terrifying...

Cheng Yao tapped the back of the white tiger's neck. The white tiger's eyes darted around, and then it quickly disappeared from the nearby ruins with a few quick steps.

All that remained were the envious and helpless looks from the team members.

One of the team members sat down next to Tiger Team and took a sip of water. His face was still covered in blood, and he asked with lingering fear, "Tiger Team, who is Sister Yao?"

"He can actually control a white tiger, and that white tiger is stronger than any elephant I've ever seen. One swipe of its paw could even shatter the Eerie Monsters's head. If it were to hit me... I don't even want to think about it."

At this moment, the other team members also gathered around, wanting to hear some gossip. After all, it was rare to find out about the affairs of these powerful individuals. If it weren't for Sister Yao's help today, perhaps several more people would have died.

Tiger looked at the group of team members in front of him, took out a small steel bottle from his pocket, and as soon as he opened it, the aroma of liquor wafted out. He carefully licked the bottle opening, took a sip, and then said, "That woman is no simpleton."

"They are currently reserve members of the Twelve Zodiac Special Squad, and they are participating in this war to test their strength. Of course, you shouldn't tell anyone about this; I only heard it from an old captain."

"As for that white tiger, I don't know anything about it either. I'm just a squad leader in the Looking River Realm, how could I possibly get information about such important figures?"

Instead of being curious about those powerful individuals, it's better to think about how to survive...

Tiger's First Seat immediately made the team members, whose curiosity had just been piqued, tense up.

Yes, instead of wasting their time talking about those powerful figures, they should rest more; perhaps then they could survive in Huizhou City.

They weren't strong; they weren't lucky.

He was powerless to stop his comrades from dying in front of him.

This is what ordinary people like them are like... They can only fill this hole by relying on special weapons and sheer numbers.

And just a short distance away from them.

Amidst the flames of war, countless Eerie Monsters are battling against the powerful.

The city wall was surrounded by holes of all sizes.

Some of them even resembled Eerie Monsters plants, climbing on the cave walls like disgusting tumors.

However, it was quickly wiped out by a ball of fire.

Ji Shao, dressed in a magnificent fiery red coat, turned to the group behind him and said, "Quickly, Sequence User with rock manipulation abilities, go and plug those holes. I'll hold them off here."

In an instant, the rocks rose from the ground.

The Eerie Monsters that were still trying to rush in were quickly blocked, but the rocks couldn't stop them, and cracks even began to appear. At this moment, a magic array unfolded on the rocks.

Su Xian, dressed in a gold and red long-sleeved outfit, gently slid her fingers through the air, muttering something.

Until the rocks settled down.

Su Xian let out a long sigh of relief and said, "This is finally over."
