Clues to the Ruins

Hearing Yang Yu's words, even Hong, who had maintained his composure, showed a worried expression. "Hopefully, this Nine-Life Cat Demon stays in the Americas. If it comes to our Huaxia..."

"This is also our biggest concern. According to satellite monitoring, the strength of this Nine-Life Cat Demon is increasing every day, and the rate of increase far exceeds our understanding!" Zhang Yuanwei's brows, which had been somewhat relaxed, furrowed again.

"Furthermore, we are worried that Europe has also started using nuclear weapons to defend against the Monsters, and it is almost certain that the Monsters there will undergo further mutations. Once these mutated Monsters spread to Huaxia, that will be a real disaster."

At this point, Yang Yu's previously relaxed mood was clouded over. "These incompetent teammates!"

However, Yang Yu also knew that Western countries did not have the same profound martial arts foundation and heritage as Huaxia. Although they also had Martial Artist, their strength was far inferior to that of Huaxia, and they were even inferior to India.

The strongest Martial Artist on their side right now is only at the Intermediate War General level, and his Martial Way Realm is even more average.

In such a situation, facing a tidal Beast Tide, they would die instantly if they didn't use nuclear weapons, but using them could prolong their lives for a while.

In a life-or-death crisis, few people can think about the future.

"So the situation is becoming increasingly critical, alas." Zhang Yuanwei sighed deeply. "In this race against the Monsters' evolutionary speed, Huaxia cannot afford to lose."

"We definitely need to speed things up," Yang Yu suddenly said.

"Um?"

Zhang Yuanwei and Hong both looked at Yang Yu with suspicion.

"We need to speed up our strength improvement," Yang Yu added. "At this rate, our overall strength will eventually fall far behind the Monsters. Chief, tell me the location of the Lord-level Monster entrenched outside your Base City. I'll go and eliminate them now, then I'll go to the Southwest Base City and eliminate the Lord-level Monster there as well. After that, I'll focus on improving my strength!"

Yang Yu's strength is still in a period of rapid improvement, which is to raise his physical fitness to the Intermediate War God Level and almost completely unleash the Spiritual Force within his Consciousness Sea!

At that time, he was truly an invincible god of War God!

With the nascent Thunder Domain, even Planetary Level Monsters can be put to the test!

In Yang Yu's perception, the Mental Force within his Consciousness Sea was sufficient to sustain him up to the War God Limit.

With this level of strength combined with the Thunder Domain, Yang Yu's power can be enhanced in all aspects.

Most importantly, the search for the ruins must be expedited.

Given the current situation, time is of the essence.

Thinking of the ruins, Yang Yu suddenly asked Zhang Yuanwei, "Chief, has the Military discovered any unusual places? Are they either very dangerous or do they contain some unknown civilization or knowledge?"

Hearing Yang Yu ask this, Hong also looked at Zhang Yuanwei curiously.

"Well," Zhang Yuanwei seemed a little hesitant, but when he saw that the global map in the lower left corner of the big screen was almost entirely red, he chose to be honest and tell the truth, "There really are places like that!"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and Hong also looked at Zhang Yuanwei with surprise.

"However, we have only discovered the approximate locations of these places so far. These are anomalies identified through satellite surveillance and big data analysis. Based on meticulous analysis and comparison, these places are very likely to hide deep secrets. As you know, our soldiers and Martial Artist are all busy defending against Monsters in the Base City, and we really can't spare any manpower to explore these suspicious areas in the Wilderness Area."

That's true. Now, apart from the Base City, the Wilderness Area has become Monsters Paradise. Without the strength of Yang Yu and Hong, going to the Wilderness Area is tantamount to suicide.

"Before the Grand Nirvana, the environment was very different from now, so these places were not noticed before. After the Grand Nirvana, the wilderness became a paradise for Monsters, and humans all retreated to the Base City. With the help of satellites, a lot of information that was not discovered before was captured."

Having decided to confess, Zhang Yuanwei is now preparing to tell everyone he knows.

In fact, during the previous Highest Council, a resolution was basically reached to request Yang Yu, Hong, and Thor to help explore these areas, but it has not been fully passed yet.

But Zhang Yuanwei felt that they had already reached a critical juncture of life and death, and it was completely meaningless to stick to those so-called procedures and processes.

In peacetime, wasting a little more time wouldn't be a big deal, but now we're racing against Monsters for our lives, and even a day's delay could cause irreparable damage!

As a soldier, Zhang Yuanwei would never allow such a thing to happen.

If he is blamed by his superiors later, he will take full responsibility.

Next, Zhang Yuanwei pointed out five locations in detail to Yang Yu and Hong on the map. To avoid some unnecessary trouble, Zhang Yuanwei did not send the location information directly to Yang Yu and Hong's Communication Watch, but marked them directly on the paper map.

Two of these locations are within Huaxia's borders: one is somewhere in the vast North Xinjiang, and the other is in the Southwest Region, seemingly not far from Thor's Base City.

The other three locations are somewhere in the Amazon Rainforest, the Bermuda Triangle, and Australia!

Indeed, one should not underestimate the power of heroes; the power of technology is also formidable. Through meticulous data analysis, it was even possible to roughly deduce the presence of anomalies in certain areas.

The possibility of relics existing in these areas is extremely high.

It's not entirely certain whether there are any ruins at the first four locations, but the locations marked on the Australia Continent are very likely where Mist Island is located!

"So far, these five locations are the most unusual. A large number of Monsters have gathered here, but a certain area in the center is completely empty. No Monsters dares to set foot in it. We have only listed it as a key suspicious area. As for what is inside, whether there is advanced technology, or cultivation-related knowledge or theories, we have no idea at the moment. The only thing we can be sure of is that it is very special!"

As the military region commander who now wields considerable power, Zhang Yuanwei certainly knows a great deal.

"Then I'll go kill the two Lord-level Monster outside the Base City now, then head to the Southwest Base City, deal with the Lord-level Monster there, and then check out that special area not far away," Yang Yu said, looking at the Monsters locations sent to his watch.

"I wonder if I can come along too?" Hong asked at this moment.

Hong is now eager to know the next step in becoming stronger.

"Both of these locations are quite far from the Northeast Base City, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. The threat of Monsters is still there. If you're not here, Hong, the remaining Martial Artist and soldiers might not be able to withstand the surging Beast Tide. Just to be on the safe side, I'll go alone. If I make any gains, I'll send some back," Yang Yu said worriedly.

"Alright then, be careful!" Hearing Yang Yu say that, Hong had no choice but to give up.

Indeed, he is currently the strongest fighter in the Northeast Base City. The second strongest Martial Artist is only Intermediate War General, and his Martial Way Realm is also average.

If Monsters suddenly attacks during this time, it will be really difficult to deal with.

After bidding farewell to Hong and Zhang Yuanwei, Yang Yu flew at top speed towards the location of the two Lord-level Monster outside the Northeast Base City.

According to the message sent by Zhang Yuanwei, both of these Lord-level Monsters are tiger-type Monsters.

Tigers were frequently seen in the Northeast Region before the Grand Nirvana, and tigers are naturally genetically superior to pigs and cattle.

Once mutated, its strength increases even further.

These two Lord-level Monsters, named 'Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger' by the Northeast Base City, are a male and a female, both possessing Intermediate Lord Level strength.

The two of them controlled a territory spanning thousands of square kilometers, including the Northeast Base City.

The Monsters that are attacking the Base City now can all be considered the underlings of their underlings.

As for the two of them, they have never shown themselves around the Base City, perhaps out of fear of nuclear weapons, or perhaps because they do not take the human Base City seriously.

As for Hong's strength, although they considered it decent, they didn't take him seriously. If it really came down to a fight, they were confident they could kill Hong in a single round.

But perhaps they're too lazy to do anything, they haven't attacked humans yet.

However, the fact that they haven't made a move doesn't mean they pose no threat to humanity.

On the contrary, once this lurking, Lord-level Monster decides to act, the destruction it causes will be catastrophic.

After all, one cannot allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed.

To both humans and the Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger, each is an 'other,' and sooner or later they will both try to eliminate the other.

Judging from the history described in the Original Work, such a time is not far off.

But now that Yang Yu has appeared, every time one of these Lord-level Monsters that initially coveted human cities shows up, Yang Yu will kill it!

Only after those Monsters realize that the area within a thousand kilometers of the human Base City is a forbidden zone, and that they will be killed if they dare to set foot there, will they stop behaving themselves.

However, Yang Yu would not kill all the Lord-level Monster on land.

Firstly, there isn't enough time. After all, over 90% of the land in Huaxia is currently occupied by various Monsters, and the number of Lord-level Monster will only increase over time, making it unrealistic to kill them all.

Secondly, it is also to give people a sense of urgency and the motivation to cultivate themselves.

After all, the Monsters in the ocean are the real hidden danger.

The real danger lies in the dangers hidden in the vast expanse of space.

Before long, Yang Yu flew with his shield to the primeval forest 500 kilometers north of the Northeast Base City.

This area was a primeval forest long before the Grand Nirvana, rarely visited by humans, and now it has become a paradise for jungle wild animals.

After spotting the two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger in the sky, Yang Yu continued to disguise his figure and aura, silently lurking less than a hundred meters in front of the two giant tigers.

To Yang Yu's surprise, the two giant tigers, one male and one female, were not engaged in reproduction at this time.

But that's not important.

At this moment, the two giant tigers were tearing apart an Advanced Beast General Level black bear that was over ten meters tall, and they were having a great time eating it.

It's clear that they've made this primeval forest their territory, and the Monsters living here are their prey. Of course, they also have the intention of deliberately suppressing the strength of the Monsters in this area.

Any beast that reaches the Advanced Beast General Level will be found and eaten by them.

Two giant tigers, each nearly twenty meters long, were devouring something with their mouths full of blood.

Yang Yu's eyes turned cold, and six throwing knives silently floated up.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by a silent, low growl.

The six throwing knives transformed into six streaks of Golden Flowing Light, hurtling towards the two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger at a terrifying speed of twenty times the Speed of Sound.

Although the two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger, who were feasting, were constantly aware of their surroundings, Yang Yu, who had grasped a trace of the Thunder Domain, had already blended into the world in terms of his Movement Technique and aura.

Even when they were only a hundred meters away from them, they didn't notice at all.

By the time the six Liuguang appeared before them, it was too late!

"Roar!"

The intense life-or-death crisis spurred the fur of the two powerful, Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger to stand on end. They simultaneously swung their claws away from their heads, attempting to prevent the flying knife from piercing their mouths.

But with a total of six throwing knives, each Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger would have to face three of them simultaneously.

"Laugh!"

The two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger, having unleashed their full power, appeared utterly vulnerable under Yang Yu's throwing knives. They were powerless to resist and were instantly killed as the knives pierced their skulls.

With Yang Yu's current strength, he could easily kill these two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger in a head-on confrontation.

However, to save trouble, it's best to sneak up and kill them with one blow.

Otherwise, if one escapes, we'll have to go through the trouble of chasing it down.

After surveying the cliff where the Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger lived, no unusual plants or environment were found.

Yang Yu then used his throwing knives to collect all the usable materials from the two Bloodthirsty Giant Tiger.

With such large tiger skins, claws, Fangs, and other materials, Hong and the other Martial Artist in the Northeast Base City can finally upgrade their equipment.

With Hong's current strength and Martial Way Realm, and with these weapons and equipment, he can resist or even kill Monsters of the Intermediate Lord Level!

With this, the security of the Northeast Base City will no longer be a concern.

Yang Yu packed up the backpack full of materials. As for the half-eaten black bear carcass on the ground, he only put away its sharpest claws and Fangs, without even glancing at the other materials.

Then, he casually killed two more Bloodthirsty Fierce Tiger that had reached the Peak Advanced Beast General Level. After taking the most useful materials, Yang Yu shouldered his completely full backpack, ascended into the air with his shield, and headed straight back.

The next Southwest Base City is also on the way south, so I'll just deliver these Monsters materials there.

The return trip didn't take long; Yang Yu delivered the Monsters materials to Hong and Zhang Yuanwei by evening.

Hong became extremely excited upon seeing the backpack full of Lord Level materials. "Thank you so much, Brother Yang Yu! With the weapons and equipment forged from these materials, I can fight Lord-level Monster without any restraint."

"Thank you, General Yang Yu. With these materials, the Martial Artist in our Northeast Base City will be able to upgrade their equipment, immediately doubling their strength and greatly increasing their chances of survival. This is truly a great thing." Zhang Yuanwei was also beaming with joy.

"You're welcome. It's all for the sake of protecting Huaxia. These materials will be most effective if they're in your hands. Brother Hong and Chief Zhang, it's getting late. I need to get to the Southwest Base City. We'll meet again sometime."

After saying this, Yang Yu prepared to ascend into the air on his shield and kill the two giant tigers. Yang Yu's Mental Force was almost completely depleted, and he was still in excellent condition.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Hong and Zhang Yuanwei didn't try to stop Yang Yu. After all, every minute they managed to defeat the Lord-level Monster outside the Southwest Base City would make the city safer. "Alright, the situation is critical right now, so we won't keep you any longer, General Yang. Remember to come visit often."

Zhang Yuanwei gave his instructions.

Hong also looked at Yang Yu eagerly. If time were not so tight, Hong would have liked to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao with Yang Yu.
