Strange Species

Within the ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes ', Luo Yan could see clearly.

Inside the car, Mo Lei's humanoid gray figure touched the enormous and mysterious symbol.

The gray light burst into flames suddenly, like gasoline falling on a spark.

Mo Lei's Primal Energy then became a deadly thing, ignited by some unknown force.

Before he could even utter a sound, he was killed by the burst of Primal Energy flames that pierced through his body.

Inside the car.

Mo Xiao pushed open the car door and got out of the car in a disheveled state. Looking at his adopted son's body, which was still burning inside the car, he was completely at a loss.

"How so."

"How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly catch fire!"

In a short while, Mo Lei had been burned to a crisp. At this moment, Luo Yan saw a heart-sized, blood-red object detach from Mo Lei's body.

It then disappeared into a huge, mysterious symbol nearby, and the patterns on that symbol immediately lit up with wisps of red light.

These red lights quickly uploaded, wandering between symbols before disappearing in the blink of an eye, as if traveling to some distant place through these mysterious symbols.

Luo Yan frowned slightly, then saw Mo Xiao shakily disappear into the culvert.

When the old man passed by those symbols, nothing happened; he simply passed through those mysterious symbols without any incident.

This confirmed one thing for Luo Yan.

Those symbols only react to cultivators who practice Visualization Technique and have Primal Energy within their bodies.

If that's the case.

He glanced at the Tie Jun grandfather and grandson in the carriage behind him.

"Uncle, the culvert ahead should lead to the surface."

"But something's strange over there, I can't get there."

"If I had gone over there, I probably would have caught fire like the person in the car in front of me."

Luo Yan said in a deep voice, "But ordinary people like you can pass through. Look at that old man in front of us, he's fine."

"What I mean is, why don't you drive away with Little Flower first?"

Tie Jun smiled wryly, "Little Yan, if I were ten years younger, and both my arms were still functional..."

"I definitely won't stay here and become a burden to you."

"But Uncle is old, and he only has one hand left."

"With you not around, going to the surface might not be safer than staying in the Undercity."

"Besides, the behemoth alarm hasn't been lifted yet, which means the battle up there is still ongoing."

"If the two of us went to the surface, we'd probably die anyway."

Luo Yan didn't object upon hearing this, nodding and saying, "If we stay in the city, we must find a safe place." "Let's go to the army headquarters; that should be the safest place in the entire Undercity."

"If we take that place too..."

Luo Yan didn't say the rest.

Tie Jun also understood that if even the corps headquarters were captured, the city would be finished.

At that moment, Luo Yan heard a faint roar.

The sound came from inside the culvert.

He looked up towards the culvert and saw Mo Xiao rushing out.

Then, deep within the culvert behind him, two red lights appeared in the darkness, followed by a demon slowly crawling out.

This beast was clearly different from the ones we had seen before; it was much larger, probably over two meters tall when standing upright.

It has a strong skeleton, well-proportioned muscles, and thick hair.

Its most striking feature is the numerous black Bone Spur of varying lengths that protrude from its hair and skin.

Those things gleamed with a metallic sheen under the light, resembling some kind of alloy.

Under Luo Yan's gaze, some information emerged.

'Chi Beast (Steel Bones). Species of the genus Ochre'

'A monstrous species among the demonic beasts, born after absorbing enough blood and energy; possessing bones as hard as alloy, Immense Strength, and high defense!'

Luo Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

How long has it been?

A 'mutant species' has appeared among the demon beasts!

This 'Steelbow' is clearly an evolved form of the Chi Beast.

All told, it hasn't been more than three hours since the demon appeared.

Within three hours, evolved varieties had already appeared.

What if it takes a little longer?

"The base number is too large."

Luo Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

The demon beasts are formed by humans merging into dark red smoke. With hundreds of thousands of people in Pingyao Underground City, even if the conversion rate is only one percent, there would still be thousands of demon beasts.

These thousands of demonic beasts are just the initial number.

Those who are bitten to death by the demon beast will also be transformed.

As a result, the number of demons will increase rapidly.

How many demons/beasts are there now?

The number is probably already approaching five figures.

With such a large base, second-generation and even third-generation evolved demon beasts have appeared in a short period of time.

It doesn't seem impossible.

Mysterious symbols sealed off the city, preventing cultivators from entering or leaving.

Large numbers of demonic beasts are attacking and killing residents, and their numbers will only increase if they are not dealt with in time.

If this situation cannot be resolved, the final result will be the destruction of the Undercity!

At this moment, the 'Steel Bone' that appeared in the culvert had already pounced on Mo Xiao, opened its mouth and bit down, and the somewhat powerful old man instantly became the beast's meal.

Luo Yan immediately reversed the car, turned around, and left this awful place.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Why haven't we reached the exit yet!"

Inside a car, Qi Fei, who only had one arm left, roared.

He was originally taking refuge in a shelter, but suddenly, someone in the shelter turned into a monster.

Fortunately, due to his family connections, the refuge he went to housed some of the city's wealthy residents.

Therefore, there weren't many people in the shelter.

Qi Fei successfully escaped and is now in a hurry to leave the Undercity with his guards.

The car was driving on the highway leading to the exit of the Undercity. Clearly, he wasn't the only one trying to escape the Undercity.

A large number of vehicles flooded the highway, resulting in traffic jams.

Ahead, a dense line of cars stretched for several kilometers, completely blocking the road out of the city.

Seeing this, Qi Fei decisively shouted, "Abandon the vehicle and proceed on foot!"

Bodyguards and guards emerged from the car. All the cultivators Qi Fei had trained, except for the long-legged female secretary, were present.

The group dispersed, forming a human chain to escort Qi Fei as he departed.

After walking for a while, Qi Fei suddenly noticed a constant stream of people passing by.

It was as if something had happened before.

Immediately afterwards, a car in the distance suddenly jumped up, leaping about ten meters into the air before flying out and crashing onto the road.

People rushed back in a panic, and it was then that Qi Fei noticed.

Monsters chased after humans, rushing into the crowd, pouncing on them, and then tearing them apart.

In the blink of an eye, pools of blood and flesh appeared on the highway.

Behind them, vehicles were occasionally launched into the air or pushed aside.

Call!

A car suddenly flew over Qi Fei's head, startling him so much that he covered his head and crouched down.

Only after the car landed did he dare to stand up, and then he saw a monster resembling an elephant crashing into the car and charging towards him.

This beast had an enormous head, pieced together from the heads of three human men.

If Luo Yan were here, staring at him with ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes ' would yield the following information.

'Chi Beast (Barbarian Elephant). Species of the genus Ochre'

'A monstrous species among the demonic beasts, born after absorbing enough blood essence, possessing the power and Immense Strength of a chariot! And the power to charge!'
