A Anchorhead Flea swooped down from mid-air. It was a male flea, and its huge, anchor-like head was much harder than the rest of its body. It crashed down despite the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.

It violently crashed into an off-road vehicle.

"Get out of the way!"

"Quick!"

Just as the driver of the off-road vehicle had a chance to turn the steering wheel, the Anchorhead Flea slammed into the side of the vehicle. The flimsy body deformed and bounced up instantly, throwing the driver and soldiers out of the vehicle. They were then deformed and killed on the spot by the violent impact.

The giant flea raised its head, about to crash into another SUV not far away, when at that moment, a shell whistled by and hit the Giant Insect's head, exploding into a raging fire.

The Anchorhead Flea let out a miserable cry as its head shattered and pulverized, spurting out yellow and green liquid.

On the highway, tanks drove up, distancing themselves from the giant flea and forming a line to create artillery positions.

After several tanks lined up side by side, the cannons rose up, and one after another, scorching flames shot out from the muzzles. As the flames surged to the side and rear, shells tore through the air and bombarded the giant flea.

The Anchorhead Flea was instantly blown to Bone Shatter. Compared to giant beasts, these Giant Insect were relatively easy to eliminate; any tank with slightly stronger power could take them down.

However, the giant flea's fighting power should not be underestimated.

Just then, two female fleas floated and swam in mid-air, coming to the top of the street, their backs glowing.

Then, beams of dazzling light shot out, steadily repelling the surrounding air, and landed on the ground in the blink of an eye. They then lurched forward, passing by the Tank vehicle on the street.

The tank's armor was as fragile as paper under these bio-energy beams, easily torn apart. Then the tank's outer shell began to deform as the scorching beams entered the engine and passed through the fuel tank.

Boom!

A violent explosion immediately erupted inside the tank, and a blazing fireball, carrying terrifying heat, hurled the vehicle into the air in the earth-shattering blast.

Inside the deformed and ripped-open chariot, hundreds of burning parts spewed out, blasting the already dead and the still alive soldiers into sieves, killing them instantly before they even had a chance to experience pain.

Similar incidents were repeatedly discovered on the streets along both sides of the Dark River. If viewed from the air above the Undercity, clusters of flames could be seen blooming in the urban areas along the river.

Meanwhile, instead of calming down after the parasites left, the Dark River river began to boil even more for some unknown reason. Then, the river suddenly disappeared at a visible speed, as if the upstream water was blocked and stopped flowing in, thus gradually revealing the riverbed of the Dark River.

Just as the river was about to dry up and the riverbed was teeming with plump fish, suddenly, the underground section of the river Dark River exploded.

Thousands of tons of river sand and mudslides gushed into the air, and amidst the swirling mud and rocks, a dark shadow burst forth—it was Giant Fish over a hundred meters long!

This fish resembles an eel, with a vermilion back and its entire body covered in slippery mucus.

It burst out of the Dark River, landed on the ground, and then began to swim, penetrating deep into the streets.

Wherever the Giant Fish passed, it left behind a large pool of slime. Soon after, the slime corroded the roadbed, causing the ground to emit bluish smoke and gradually sink inward.

Behind, after the mud and sand of the Dark River fell, a huge channel appeared in the riverbed. Then the river water surged in, submerged the channel, and filled the riverbed again.

Changping City, temporary camp of the Guangling Legion.

Upon hearing the alarm, Luo Yan rushed out of his dormitory. He saw the red warning lights flashing wildly above the Undercity, like countless red stars shining in the dim city.

Then Yan Wenbo's voice came through the earphones.

"The Changping Legion headquarters has sent operational instructions."

"The underground Dark River of the Undercity has been invaded by a swarm of Anchor Worm, and because these giant fleas have opened a passage, a Lower-tier Giant Beast has already invaded the Undercity through the Dark River."

"More behemoths may enter through the Dark River. The Changping Legion has requested our assistance. They need to launch an emergency operation to seal off the passage opened by the flea swarm before more behemoths enter the Undercity."

"Now, as the commander, I order you: Class Two, Team Five; Class Three, Team Four, attack!"

Immediately, the Mech Master from the two squads of the Guangling Legion rushed out of their dormitories, jumped onto the Base Vehicle, and drove towards the mech parking point.

A moment later, Luo Yan had entered the mecha's cockpit.

After a flurry of activity, the mechs were activated.

The ' Bi'an's ' eyes shone brightly, the energy nodes on its body emitted a hazy glow, and the aircraft cannons on its back rose up, completing their setup ahead of schedule.

He then removed his shield, drew his longsword, and strode forward.

In the blink of an eye.

Two Mecha Squad from the Guangling Legion left their temporary camp in perfect formation and headed towards the Dark River in the Undercity.

On the command console screen, the operational guidelines for the Changping Legion were issued.

Luo Yan checked the instructions.

Since the breach in the riverbed created by the fleas was located between Bridge 4 and Bridge 5, the first step in this operation was to lower the sluice gate between Bridge 4 and Bridge 5 to cut off the river flow.

The second step is to drain the water from the target section of the river, exposing a breach in the riverbed.

The final step, naturally, is to seal the breach.

Each of these three stages was handled by the Construction Bureau and Engineering Department of Changping without the Guangling Legion having to lift a finger.

The repair team has now rushed to the target section of the bridge.

The Guangling Legion ' mission was to protect the repair teams during the emergency repair of the breach in the riverbed, ensuring they were not disturbed by the Anchorhead Flea or other behemoths.

In addition, the kill rewards for Changping Underground City have been confirmed.

Killing the Anchorhead Flea will reward you with 100,000 work points.

Defeating Lower-tier Giant Beast rewards you with 2 million work points or the corresponding Giant Beast Core.

Defeating Mid-tier Giant Beast rewards you with 5 million work points or the corresponding Giant Beast Core.

Defeating Upper-tier Giant Beast rewards you with 20 million work points or a corresponding Giant Beast Core, or other Giant Beast subjects of equivalent value.

In order to protect the city and motivate reinforcements, the Undercity has spared no expense.

Upon seeing these kill rewards, a gasp of surprise rippled through the communication channel.

Kang Shun exclaimed softly, "Xiao Luo, you and Xiao Bai have hit the jackpot this time!"

Although the kill reward needs to be shared among the collaborators according to their respective contributions.

However, not long ago, Luo Yan and Bai Yan joined forces to kill a Upper-tier Giant Beast in the light energy matrix.

The reward for advancing to the next level is 20 million work points. Even if the reward is shared between two people, even if it's just a support role, the person providing assistance can still get several million.

Needless to say, Luo Yan is a key player, and he'll get at least tens of thousands of points.

Therefore, Luo Yan's eyes lit up after hearing Kang Shun's words.

Although he currently has tens of millions in his account, upgrading his ' Bi'an ' will definitely cost him a lot of money.

The Changping Underground City is now offering clear rewards to giant beasts of all levels has greatly motivated Luo Yan.

Luo Yan has only one thought in mind right now: make money!
