Whoosh—!
A flaming spear pierced through a Frost Giant's head. Covered in blood, Hong Ying pulled the spear free, barely steadying herself as she stood there gasping for breath.
Before the toll station, Frost Giant corpses already covered the ground. Their blood had gathered into a torrent and flowed into the sewers.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Squad had successfully destroyed the Frost Giants' portal. Apart from the dozen or so remaining giants, all the others had been buried here.
Moo—!!
A deep cry came from not far away. Wu Xiangnan looked up and saw a gigantic squid as tall as a skyscraper rapidly moving toward them from beneath the overpass.
"Captain, the Sea Monster is here."
Chen Muye swung his blade and killed a Frost Giant. The hand gripping his weapon trembled slightly from exhaustion. He silently watched the distant squid, and after a moment, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's coming for me."
Chen Muye's voice was calm. Everyone froze, then turned to look at him.
"Captain, what are you talking about?" Wen Qimo could not help asking.
"Its aura has locked onto me. That... I can still sense." Chen Muye lightly rubbed his chest. "I have something it wants."
Hong Ying stared blankly for a while before asking weakly, "What is it? Can't we just give it to him...?"
"No. This thing is of great importance. It absolutely cannot be handed over." Chen Muye took a deep breath, and his expression actually seemed somewhat relieved. "This is good too. As long as I move away from the city, the people inside it won't be in danger."
"We're going with you." Leng Xuan suddenly spoke.
Chen Muye shook his head. "That's a Klein-level Mystery. If you follow me, you'll only be throwing your lives away."
