Lin Chenxing arrived at Qimen City, criticized its reliance on protecting civilians instead of preparing them to survive, and set a month-long schedule for the evacuation to Xingyan Base.

The battle remained unresolved as Peng Tianwen pierced a small hole through the turtle’s shell and Lin Chenxing waited out the wounded dragon’s frenzy.

• Peng Tianwen used all twelve bamboo leaves to focus his attacks on one spot and finally punched a small hole through the Mountain-Bearing Turtle’s shell.

Lin Chenxing and Peng Tianwen killed the Mountain-Bearing Turtle after it blocked Qimen City’s evacuation convoy, and the convoy stopped to salvage its valuable shell. As the humans celebrated, a distant tiger’s howl drew answering calls from monsters.
