Beast Tide Appears

(Congratulations to the Newly Advanced Helmsman "Ran Jia")

Everyone else was focused on the Great Lightning Owl standing in mid-air, but he alone noticed the enormous tentacles that flashed out and swept away a building.

Are you hallucinating?

He didn't even bother to admire the Fierce Martial Prowess of the Great Lightning Owl; he thought he was hallucinating.

Yes, it must be a hallucination. How could such a scene, which only appears in stories, appear in the core area of Zicui Star in broad daylight?

Are you kidding me!

If such a monster appears, why doesn't the military take action?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he actually saw several flames appear on the giant tentacles.

But the huge tentacles seemed to be enraged, and with a single twitch, they knocked down the building on the other side.

Dodo dodo.

My teeth are chattering; could this really be true?

Look, a monster!

He screamed and shouted to those around him.

But everyone thought they were talking about that Great Lightning Owl.

Even Mu Fan thought this was a reaction to seeing the mecha.

But as Black's words rang in the earpiece, and the Great Lightning Owl suddenly transformed into a streak of purple lightning and disappeared without any warning.

Why did you leave in such a hurry!

Mu Fan finally realized that something was wrong.

"Mu Fan, the surveillance footage has revealed something absolutely unbelievable."

"What is it?"

"The city's public broadcasting channels have been requisitioned under emergency conditions. Meanwhile, the latest news from the City Monitoring Bureau is... an unidentified biological invasion!"

Mu Fan suddenly looked up and rushed behind the glass curtain wall. With the excellent view from the 28th floor, he immediately saw the giant tentacles that were raging and waving over there!

Behind the energy core on the chest of the Great Lightning Owl is the cockpit of this machine.

At this moment, Ruan Xiongfeng was suspended in a ball of electric energy field, and with his burly figure and his now gloomy face, he looked like a demon god.

"What? Boundary Breaking Gate has been discovered in the Primeval Forest Area! And extraterrestrial creatures are constantly pouring in."

"Extraterrestrial beings! Which race managed to open the Boundary Breaking Gate into the Federation's territory this time?"

After Ruan Xiongfeng finished speaking with a gloomy face, a reply came from the cockpit:

"Reporting, sir, the initial sightings of extraterrestrial creatures include two level 27 Great King Land Squid, one level 28 UFO Beast, and... over a thousand level 22-25 creatures have been detected. As for those below level 22, their numbers have now exceeded 8,000!"

"This absolutely cannot be Boundary Breaking Gate! Even a Level 5 Boundary Breaking Gate doesn't have this kind of throughput. The cost of opening a high-level Boundary Breaking Gate is unimaginable. Zicui Star isn't a military stronghold; it's absolutely not worth it for an extraterrestrial race to launch a surprise attack in this way. Is there anything unusual? Tell me quickly!"

Now, the Great Lightning Owl flashed across the city like lightning, and the scenery below it could be clearly seen from all Zhou Tian, showing the densely packed Beast Tide surging in.

Starting Point from the boundary river in A District Zicui Star, the ever-emerging hordes of beasts have already encroached upon one-tenth of the city's area.

The area invaded by the beasts has become a wasteland, devoid of any life.

"Reporting, sir, we have discovered an anomaly. The military just attacked a Great King Land Squid, but although the attack was unsuccessful, we found that when the beast's body tissues were separated from its main body, they turned into a black, fluid energy mass, completely devoid of biological cellular structure. Moreover, this Great King Land Squid's healing ability is astonishing!"

This looks so much like the Native Beast from the outer Lyra Star River. This is definitely not just a simple Great King Land Squid... With his brows furrowed, Ruan Xiongfeng instinctively felt that this matter was definitely beyond the scope of ordinary Space Fissure or Boundary Breaking Gate.

"Regimental Commander Ruan, hello. I am Major Alexei, the Deputy Commander of the Zicui Star military."

At this moment, a steady voice, unlike the previous one, entered the cockpit, interrupting Ruan Xiongfeng's thoughts. He recognized the name; it belonged to the number two military figure on Zicui Star. Alexei had enlisted more than twenty years earlier than him, and he should give him the respect he deserved, no matter what.

"Commander, I have already retired." Ruan Xiongfeng did not respond to the question, but instead stated his identity first.

"Heh, truly worthy of being the master of the Thunderbolt Fighting God. I'm afraid many people don't know that your temperament surpasses your strength." Alexei gave a wry smile and continued:

"Regimental Commander Ruan, please don't rush to refuse. The sudden events on Zicui Star were already noticed by the group from the Capital Star during the special recruitment phase, but they didn't pay attention. No one expected things to deteriorate so drastically after they left. The threat level of this Beast Tide is constantly rising, especially with the appearance of high-level creatures. We... don't have the ability to contend with them. We implore Regimental Commander Ruan to take action!"

For Deputy Commander of a planet to have such an attitude towards a regimental commander, Ruan Xiongfeng is truly unique in the Federation.

Ruan Xiongfeng said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Commander, now that I know, I will not try to evade responsibility."

Alexei's tone brightened with joy, clearly relieved by Ruan Xiongfeng's promise. With this being currently in control of peak humanoid mobile weaponry, the military's pressure could be reduced by two-thirds instantly!

"Regimental Commander Ruan, to make a long story short, since the cause of the incident is unknown, the military is currently making every effort to investigate the origin of these strange beasts. However, the military's Mobile Unit are currently unable to approach the Primeval Forest Area. I would appreciate it if Regimental Commander Ruan could..."

"Going into the interior of the Primeval Forest, right? Sure." Ruan Xiongfeng agreed immediately.

"Besides..."

"What else?" Ruan Xiongfeng said impatiently. Why was the Deputy Commander of Zicui Star so long and rambling?

"Furthermore, it is truly difficult to refuse, but it is a request from the descendants of our benefactor, so it is an unreasonable request. After I finish speaking, Regimental Commander Ruan can make his own decision."

"Please speak," Ruan Xiongfeng said, frowning.

"The First Mountain Lord of the Mountain Haze Society entrusted me with the task, hoping that I could act as an intermediary and repeat his words to you."

"Mr. Ruan, I am the First Mountain Lord of the Mountain Haze Society. Due to family reasons, I have deep ties with the military, but this incident was entirely accidental. I am not currently on Zicui Star, so I was unaware of the Fourth Mountain Lord's unauthorized actions. The Fourth Mountain Lord and the deacon deserved their deaths. After reviewing the call records, I learned of what you said, Mr. Ruan. After investigation, I swear on the honor of my family that the Mountain Haze Society absolutely not involved in the inexplicable events Mr. Ruan mentioned. However, to appease your anger, the Mountain Mr. Ruan Mountain Haze Society fully cooperate with your demands and will provide you and that young man with extremely generous compensation afterward. Furthermore, the Mountain Haze Society work with Mr. Ruan to investigate the true cause of the incident you described."

Upon hearing those three words again, Ruan Xiongfeng almost hung up the call immediately and went straight to find the Mountain Haze Society's base to wipe them out.

But facing the Deputy Commander who was more than twenty years older than him, he couldn't bring himself to explode because he was so humble.

After carefully considering the language, Ruan Xiongfeng raised a few questions.

"Commander Alexei, how trustworthy is the First Mountain Lord? Is his family... a military family?"
