At the very moment the countdown ended.
The energy that the Void Beast had been spewing out vanished instantly.
The constantly fluctuating spatial ripples also solidified.
Half of the black giant's body has not yet been deployed.
Only two arms, half a face, and one leg are visible.
He screamed and struggled incessantly.
But how can brute force break the rules of space?
The black giant was fixed to the plane of the spatial ripples.
Like Jesus nailed to the cross, unable to move.
The Void Beast's translucent crystal core transformed into a stream of light and flew into the Shelter Space, disappearing into Qin Ze's chest.
Qin Ze felt itchy and hot in his chest, and he really wanted to take off his clothes to check, but now was clearly not the time.
The moment the Void Beast disappeared, all the surrounding beasts were stunned.
They neighed anxiously as they paced back and forth in the vicinity.
They couldn't find a single trace of the Void Beast; it was as if it had vanished into thin air.
As the spatial ripples solidified, the spatial passage closed, and the deployment ended.
The warriors on the city wall, who had been in despair, were caught off guard by this scene.
The city lord blinked in disbelief.
What's going on?
The Void Beast has disappeared?
Void Beast that deliberately disappears is unprecedented in history.
The frozen ripples in space are gradually disappearing.
Gradually, they became shorter and thinner, turning into barely perceptible fine lines.
"Roar roar roar--"
The black giant swung his bone hammer while shouting loudly, seemingly in great pain.
boom--
His third eye on his forehead continuously emitted beams of red light.
Because of the lack of aim, the beam missed its target and ended up hitting the entire herd of beasts.
The densely packed horde of beasts was plowed away again and again by the beam of destruction, leaving behind countless severed limbs and broken bodies.
Qin Ze stared blankly at the berserk giant, completely bewildered.
They have to be exotic beasts; when they get ruthless, they won't even spare their own people.
A few seconds later, the ripples disappeared completely.
Puff puff puff--
Where the ripples disappeared, more than a dozen blood lines appeared on the giant's body, and blood gushed out like a river bursting its banks.
The giant's extended parts were cut into dozens of pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Just like that, an S-class peak-level alien beast was gone.
Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh.
In the face of rules, everything else is worthless.
splat--
A round, black bead fell to Qin Ze's feet.
" Soul Orb!"
Qin Ze's eyes lit up.
There was an unexpected surprise.
The moment the Soul Orb appeared, all the surrounding beasts went berserk.
They pushed and fought each other, vying for ownership of the Soul Orb.
S-Rank Soul Orb are not only extremely valuable to martial artists, but also possess a fatal attraction for exotic beasts.
Tens of thousands of strange beasts went berserk.
The beasts that were already attacking the city turned around and started fighting each other after smelling the aura of the S-grade Soul Orb.
"Has the beast gone mad?"
The Skinny Dog was just about to say its last words when the herd suddenly retreated and started fighting amongst themselves.
Niu Zhida was equally confused.
Having been a mercenary for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a strange situation.
First, the Void Beast were released only halfway before stopping, and then the beasts began to kill each other.
That's weird.
That's really weird.
"Take a break now."
"The beast tide is not over yet."
Niu Zhida sigh of relief.
Regardless, with the S-class beast fallen, they finally had a glimmer of hope for survival.
Qin Ze extended the Shelter Space forward by two inches and put the Soul Orb into his pocket.
The fastest Cheetah had already pounced on the Soul Orb.
Just as he was about to swallow the Soul Orb whole, it vanished right in front of him.
The Cheetah missed its target and ended up with a mouthful of dirt.
It kept sniffing and searching.
It's really gone.
Where did my big bead go?
With the Soul Orb gone, the raging beast horde gradually calmed down.
Driven by their instincts, they continued their charge towards Jiang City.
At this moment, as the last spatial ripple disappeared, a ball of light the size of an infant's fist suddenly appeared.
The ball of light grew larger and larger, quickly becoming the size of a basketball, and radiating an extremely dazzling light.
Like the sun falling to earth, the warriors on the city wall could not even look directly at it with their naked eyes.
Bang--
The sphere of light suddenly exploded, and a huge vortex with a diameter of more than fifty meters was formed.
The vortex spun rapidly, generating a powerful gravitational pull.
The tens of thousands of strange beasts that were released were sucked into the vortex one after another.
Even the strange beasts that had already reached the city walls were not spared.
One second they were fiercely fighting a martial artist, the next they were being rapidly retreated and swallowed by a vortex.
Strangely enough...
Despite the powerful suction, the martial artists were completely unaffected; they didn't even feel it.
In their eyes, the attacking beast tide was as if it had been suddenly reversed.
After the last beast was devoured, the massive spatial vortex disappeared.
The area outside the city fell silent instantly, and the roars of the strange beasts could no longer be heard.
Even the corpses of the strange beasts were all collected by the spatial vortex.
If it weren't for the craters on the ground and the bloodstains everywhere, no one would believe that a beast tide of tens of thousands had once attacked the city here.
Qin Ze carefully stored the Soul Orb and quickly returned to the city wall under the cover of the Shelter Space.
When Niu Zhida and the others saw Qin Ze unharmed, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
You're still alive?
Niuniu is incredible.
Qin Ze said, "Are you really hoping for my death?"
Niu Zhida shook his head. "No, I'm just... surprised."
Skinny Dog: "Brother, it's so good that you're alive."
Niu Zhida excitedly patted Qin Ze on the shoulder.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Actually, I just did something big."
The Babyface asked curiously, "What?"
Qin Ze: "We retrieved the Void Beast, and while we were at it, we killed that S-rank alien beast that was about to be released."
Babyface and the others didn't believe Qin Ze at all, thinking he was joking.
Qin Ze sighed helplessly, "This is so hard for me."
Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?
At the same time, the warriors on the city wall finally came to their senses and cheered loudly.
"We won!"
"We actually repelled the Void Beast!"
"I can't believe I'm still alive."
"A mere beast tide, nothing special."
The city lord's eyes were slightly moist.
There is no greater joy than surviving a desperate situation.
"Immediately assess the casualties."
"Notify the shelter that everyone can go home now."
Moments later, the announcement of victory resounded throughout every corner of Jiang City.
"Under the leadership of the city lord, we, the people of Jiang City, defeated the beast tide."
"Although we suffered some casualties, victory ultimately belongs to us."
"Suffering itself is not something to be celebrated, but those of us who have endured suffering deserve to be celebrated..."
Rumble--
The shelter doors slowly opened.
Golden sunlight shone on everyone's faces.
The little girl clutched her mother's clothes, pointed to the sky, and exclaimed happily, "Mommy, look! The sky is clear!"
Everyone laughed.
Yes, the sky has cleared up.
