Outside Jiangnan Base City, high in the sky, dozens of figures had gathered together, watching the distant coastline with solemn expressions. At the forefront, Hong and Thor both carried intense fighting intent in their eyes. They stood there like a long spear and a greatsaber.
"It's here."
"Everyone, fall back. Be careful not to get caught up in the battle," Hong said, transforming into a streak of light alongside Thor and rapidly flying toward the coast.
At the same time, a colossal beast emerged from the sea. Its scales gleamed with metallic luster, and its eyes were filled with savagery.
After surfacing from the ocean, the Golden Horn Beast quickly came ashore and advanced toward Jiangnan Base City. It ran directly into Hong and Thor, who had come from Jiangnan Base City. The instant they met, Thor rapidly came to a stop. Meanwhile, Hong's speed surged again as he attacked the Golden Horn Beast.
The long spear collided with the Golden Horn Beast. Under the impact of the two immense forces, the air trembled, and the energy shockwaves swept across a radius of over a thousand meters. Within that range, it was as though a hurricane had passed through—dust flew everywhere, and the vegetation on the ground was reduced to powder.
After a single clash, Hong quickly retreated, while the Golden Horn Beast also stopped. At the point where it had collided with the spear, a white mark had nearly pierced through its scales.
Looking at the tiny human before it, the Golden Horn Beast's eyes held not only savagery, but also a teasing expression, as if it had spotted prey.
In its eyes, Hong was like a toy that had suddenly appeared, making it feel curious and giving it a faint desire to explore.
