After placing the well-wrapped Little Flower into his backpack, Yang Yu collected the valuable materials from the three Lord Level Tiger-Tail Cat. He then found and killed the remaining four Advanced Beast General Level Tiger-Tail Cat in the Tiger-Tail Cat clan.

After ensuring that no threatening Tiger-Tail Cat would appear around the Northeast Base City in the short term, Yang Yu, carrying a heavy backpack, took off again and flew towards the Southeast Base City.

This time the distance was a bit far; it took Yang Yu about an hour to fly from the northern Base City to the Southeast Base City.

At this moment, a large number of Monsters have gathered outside the defense line of the Southeast Base City, and are attacking the city under the leadership of several Advanced Beast General Level Monsters.

Since the Southeast Base City is not far from the ocean and there are several large rivers nearby, many of the Monsters attacking the city are marine-type Monsters.

At this moment, the Martial Artist in the Southeast Base City were fighting fiercely. It was clear that the Martial Artist here were stronger than those in the Northern Base City. There were two Martial Artists had reached the Senior War General, nearly ten Martial Artists had reached the level of medium-level or Junior War General, and dozens of martial artists who had reached the Warrior Level. If Yang Yu were excluded, their Martial Artist were even stronger than those in Jiangnan City.

With their coordinated efforts and additional firepower, they almost completely halted the advancing Beast Tide.

However, behind the Beast Tide, Yang Yu discovered a situation similar to that in Jiangnan Base City, where a Lord-level Monster was also overseeing the battle!

Although they did not participate in the siege, under its command, numerous Beast General Level Monsters led a massive number of Beast Soldier Level Monsters in a fierce attack on the Southeast Base City's defenses.

A hail of shells and bullets rained down, creating a powerful barrage of fire in front of the defensive line.

Perhaps out of fear of unknown weapons yet to be discovered by humans, this truck-sized, Alligator Turtle snapping turtle-like Lord-level Monster did not launch an attack without authorization, but instead proceeded to deploy its forces in a rather sophisticated manner.

Under the overwhelming Beast Tide, the defenses of the Southeast Base City gradually began to show weaknesses, and the two Martial Artists had reached the Senior War General each led their own Martial Artist squads to provide support in various places.

The defensive line at the front was suddenly in grave danger.

After gaining a general understanding of the strength of the Southeast Base City, Yang Yu did not choose to slaughter the ordinary Monsters below the Lord Level in front of the defense line.

His target is the Alligator Turtle, or more specifically, the Alligator Dragon Turtle!

Lord-level Monster resulting from the hybridization of Alligator Turtle snapping turtle and Dragon Turtle, and through a series of mutations and evolutions.

Judging from its screeching and commanding manner, one can tell it is extremely intelligent.

Descending rapidly from the sky, Yang Yu immediately unleashed six throwing knives, aiming them at the Alligator Dragon Turtle.

Upon seeing the humans suddenly descend from the sky, clad in cyan-gold armor, the Alligator Dragon Turtle, which already possessed human intelligence, was visibly stunned for a moment before immediately fleeing.

Just kidding, Yang Yu's armor was made from the material of the Green-Armored Giant Dragon. As a 'dragon' type Monsters, it was more familiar with this aura than anyone else.

Seeing that the Alligator Dragon Turtle didn't even dare to fight, Yang Yu shook his head and smiled, then unleashed his speed and gave chase.

Although the Alligator Dragon Turtle, which had reached the Intermediate Lord Level, was very fast at running away, Yang Yu was even faster! He caught up and overtook it in less than a second, and then launched a flying knife attack.

The flying knife, which was merely Spiritual Force and did not contain Thunder Intent, transformed into six Liuguang and attacked the Alligator Dragon Turtle from all directions.

Having rarely encountered 'dragon'-like Monsters, Yang Yu decided to test their data.

Sensing the intense killing intent approaching from all around, the Alligator Dragon Turtle, true to its Dragon-type Monster, possessed an extremely keen sense of danger, and was the first to retract its head into its shell.

"Ding ding ding~"

The six throwing knives struck the Alligator Dragon Turtle's shell next to its head with a crisp metallic clang, barely managing to pierce the shell.

The Intermediate Lord Level Alligator Dragon Turtle's defense is indeed very strong. Even without Yang Yu infusing it with the Thunder Intent, its power is still formidable, and even ordinary high-level Lord-level Monster might not be able to withstand it.

However, the Alligator Dragon Turtle's shell is clearly incredibly defensive, comparable to that of a typical high-level Lord-level Monster.

Moreover, although the throwing knife is very fast, the Alligator Dragon Turtle can still react if it is prepared, since the Alligator Dragon Turtle can also retract its head very quickly.

It can retract its head into its shell almost in the blink of an eye.

"Such a hard tortoise shell." The throwing knife only sank into the shell, unable to pierce it completely.

Yang Yu smiled faintly and retrieved the throwing knife, then tried to attack the Alligator Dragon Turtle's weak points by following the gaps in its body.

Seeing that its speed was far inferior to that of the human in front of it, the Alligator Dragon Turtle let out a few strange roars and then cowered in place, preparing to rely on its shell to withstand the attack.

But Yang Yu is now Senior War God -level Spirit Reader and has even comprehended the rudimentary form of the Thunder Domain. That attack just now was merely an appetizer.

Seeing the tightly sealed shell of the Alligator Dragon Turtle, Yang Yu scanned it with his Spiritual Force and discovered that the mutated Alligator Dragon Turtle's defense was truly formidable.

His throwing knife was already considered small, but he still couldn't find a place to attack, including the Alligator Dragon Turtle's tail. As the turtle completely retracted, even its tail was enclosed by a piece of shell, making it impossible to find a starting point.

Left with no other choice, Yang Yu could only activate the six most powerful flying knives, infusing them with all his Thunder Intent.

"Call out!"

Six phantoms, moving so fast they were invisible, formed a straight line and hurtled directly into the shell where the flying knife had previously penetrated.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and the area that had previously been a small wound was instantly blasted into a large gash by the six throwing knives that Yang Yu had unleashed with all his might.

"Awooo!!!"

A piercing scream rang out, Alligator Dragon Turtle's proud defenses crumbled instantly.

Just as it desperately tried to escape, the throwing knife that had already penetrated its body went straight for its head.

It must be said that the Alligator Dragon Turtle has very strong muscle defense; even a throwing knife thrown at full power would not easily cut through its muscles.

However, muscles are no match for the outer shell's defense. In less than a second, six throwing knives were plunged into the Alligator Dragon Turtle's head, followed by a violent churning.

The Intermediate Lord Level Alligator Dragon Turtle died on the spot!

Before he could harvest the materials from the Alligator Dragon Turtle, Yang Yu immediately flew to the Southeast Base City's defense line using his shield and began slaughtering them with his throwing knives.

The Martial Artist and soldiers inside the defensive line saw the cyan -Golden Figure descending from the sky and knew that it was Yang Yu, the War God of Jiangnan City, who had come to provide support!

This news was also personally delivered by their commander-in-chief, Yu Tingyan.

Sure enough, they didn't resist for long before the legendary War God Yang Yu, arrived to provide reinforcements.

Yang Yu killed these Monsters, which were not even at the Lord Level, with ease. Wherever his throwing knives passed, Monsters corpses fell in droves.

"That's incredibly powerful!"

Dong Nanbiao, currently the strongest Martial Artist in the Southeast Base City, exclaimed that his strength had reached the peak of the Advanced General-Level, and he was not far from stepping into the War God Level, making him Martial Artist with exceptional talent.

Moreover, Dong Nanbiao is not very old; he is only 36 years old.

Before his Grand Nirvana, he was a coach at a martial arts school. He had reached the Master Realm in Martial Way arts by the age of twenty, and his physical fitness had also reached the Human Body Limit at a very young age.

In terms of overall strength and potential, he is even slightly stronger than Jia Yi.

While teaching his students martial arts, he also devoted himself to studying Martial Way.

Finally, his strength advanced further when he unleashed the power of the double R. Later, he even mastered the refinement of Cosmic Energy without a teacher, and then he even figured out Guide Technique that suited him.

In addition, having fought on the front lines and experienced countless battles, his strength improved very quickly. His Movement Technique and Blade Technique reached an extremely high level, and his Martial Way Realm even reached the Grandmaster level a month ago!

Given his demonstrated talent and potential, if he hadn't perished in the Original Work, his future achievements would definitely have been remarkable.

Right now, if it weren't for his inferior weapon, he would be strong enough to fight against Elementary Lord Level Monsters!

After all, Dong Nanbiao was a formidable being who could withstand the Tiger-Headed Monster Flood Dragon just three years after the Grand Nirvana eruption, so his strength was beyond doubt.

Moreover, Monsters that can be called a Jiao must be at least at the Lord Level, and there is a high probability that it is at the Intermediate Lord Level or Senior Lord Level!

In other words, in just three years, Dong Nanbiao's strength had increased to at least the Intermediate War God, and most likely Senior War God.

Such talent makes him arguably the strongest after Hong and Thor.

"Yes, that's incredible. Killing Monsters is easier than killing chickens. It's unbelievable that we humans can be this strong." Another Intermediate War General Martial Artist was also shocked.

In just over two minutes, the Monsters that had besieged the Southeast Base City were reduced to corpses. Among these Monsters were some that Dong Nanbiao and another Senior War General Martial Artist been unable to defeat.

But faced with Yang Yu's terrifying speed, even escaping was a pipe dream for them.

Flying to the spot where the Alligator Dragon Turtle had just died, Yang Yu used his Mental Force to lift the truck-sized Alligator Dragon Turtle and fly it towards the Southeast Base City.

Yang Yu's backpack was almost empty. From his observation, the weapons used by the Martial Artist in the Southeast Base City were of mediocre quality. This Alligator Dragon Turtle was perfect for them to craft weapons and equipment.

The materials extracted from such a large Lord-level Monster, combined with other materials, are more than enough to arm the current Southeast Base City. As for what happens after that, they'll have to rely on themselves.

With the aid of weapons, the two strongest Martial Artist below can easily hunt down Advanced Beast General Level Monsters and resist Elementary Lord Level Monsters.

Moreover, Yang Yu could see that both of them had high talent and potential, and as their strength grew further, these Monsters would pose even less of a threat to them.

However, without good equipment, one will always be at a disadvantage, and it will be extremely dangerous when several Lord-level Monster attack the city together.

By then, the fall of the Base City will be imminent.

Therefore, the initial accumulation in the first step is very important.

Seeing Yang Yu, like War God, clad in cyan- Golden Battle Armor, holding aloft the Lord-level Monster Alligator Dragon Turtle that had organized this Beast Tide attack, the soldiers and civilians of the entire Southeast Base City were stunned.

At that moment, they finally realized that humans could be very strong!

So powerful that he can slaughter Monsters at will!

Amidst the joyful and excited expressions of the crowd, Yang Yu slowly landed on the City Wall and then placed the Alligator Dragon Turtle aside.

"Welcome, General Yang Yu!" Yu Tingyan, who appeared to be an elderly man, stepped forward excitedly. "When Old Wang said you were coming to provide support, I knew our Southeast Base City was safe!"

"Hurry inside and rest. Old Wang said you came all the way from the Northwest Base City, traveling across most of Huaxia. You must be exhausted."

Previously, watching Yang Yu slaughter Monsters in videos didn't evoke much of a feeling, but when he actually witnessed Yang Yu killing Monsters faster than mowing grass in person, even someone who had experienced decades of trials and tribulations felt his blood boil.

Then they saw Yang Yu 'carry' one of the Intermediate Lord Level Monsters that was entrenched outside their Southeast Base City— the Alligator Dragon Turtle.

He was even more shocked when he saw that the kill had just been made.

"Chief Yu, you're too kind. Killing these Monsters doesn't take much effort and isn't tiring at all. Just tell me the locations of the remaining Lord Monster, and I'll go and kill them right away. That Alligator Dragon Turtle made a few noises before it died, and I'm afraid the other Lord-level Monster might hear it and run away."

Yang Yu waved his hand, expressing his concerns.

Moreover, Yang Yu was indeed not tired. Although long-distance flight consumes a lot of Mental Force, he would recover some of Mental Force on his own during the flight.

So even after traveling for most of the day, Yang Yu still had half of his mental Mental Force left, and it was constantly recovering, which was enough to kill a few Lord Monster.

Upon hearing what Yang Yu said, Yu Tingyan didn't dare to delay and immediately exchanged contact information with Yang Yu, sending him the location of the Lord Monster observed by the satellite.

Yang Yu glanced at the location and Monsters information on his watch. "This Intermediate Lord Level Alligator Dragon Turtle is yours, Chief Yu. After I kill the remaining two Lord-level Monsters, I will return to Jiangnan Base City to rest and won't be coming back. If any new Lord-level Monster appear outside your Base City in the future and you can't deal with them, just send me a message."

After Yang Yu finished speaking, he once again ascended into the air on his shield, flying towards the location of the remaining Lord-level Monster.

There was no other way; time was too tight, so Yang Yu had to race against the clock.

"Hopefully, the roar of the Alligator Dragon Turtle just now didn't alert them." The remaining two Lord-level Monsters were no ordinary creatures; one of them was Tiger-Headed Monster Flood Dragon strength had reached the Intermediate Lord Level!

It is uncertain whether this was the Tiger-Headed Monster Flood Dragon that Dong Nanbiao killed at the cost of his life.

If Yang Yu had lingered a little longer and known that Dong Nanbiao was among the Martial Artist below, he would have been able to confirm it.

This could be considered an accidental solution to a major scourge for the Southeast Base City, and it also inadvertently changed Dong Nanbiao's fate.

The other Monsters was Elementary Lord Level Iron-Armored Dragon!

Yes, it's the Iron-Armored Dragon that Luo Feng stole the dragon egg from later.

However, it is still in the early stage of the Grand Nirvana. Although the Iron-Armored Dragon Dragon-type Monster evolved, its strength is not particularly strong among the Lord-level Monster.

In just over a minute, Yang Yu traversed a distance of over a hundred kilometers.

In a vast Shui Ze.

Looking down from high above, Yang Yu saw two enormous Monsters 'playing' there.

A ferocious beast, over fifty meters long, with a tiger-like head but a dragon-like body, was moving about on the back of Iron-Armored Dragon that was only about twenty meters long.

It is obvious that the Tiger-Headed Monster Flood Dragon is male, while the Iron-Armored Dragon is female.

As for the Alligator Dragon Turtle that commands the Monsters to attack the city, it's just a hired hand.

Seeing the Monsters reproducing again made Yang Yu wonder if these Monsters spent all their time on this, besides cultivating and eating.

Perhaps they were too engrossed in their activity, because they didn't catch the strange roar the Alligator Dragon Turtle emitted before it died.

Indeed, this place is hundreds of kilometers away from the Southeast Base City, and the sound waves are extremely weak by the time they reach here. If one is not fully focused, they are likely to miss them.

Seeing the two Lord-level Monster moving about as if no one else was around, Yang Yu had no interest in watching them.

The Thunder Intent was completely integrated into his Spiritual Force and Movement Technique, and his entire body transformed into a bolt of Thunder, shooting downwards.
