Inside the meeting room.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone's gaze fell on the massive silhouette in the distance.
The sea was pitch black, with waves rising and falling.
Above the sea, a thick gray fog, mixed with the gloomy sky, swallowed its shape, making it indistinct.
Even so, the presence of that thing still pierced everyone's retina like a razor blade...
Its body was so thin it was deformed, with two asymmetrical, broken wings hanging from its back. One wing was still intact, while the other was torn to shreds, like a canvas that had been violently ripped apart.
But what's most breathtaking is its sheer, chilling sheer size.
Even across thousands of meters of empty space, even with the fog Distortion the sense of distance, its height still defies common sense.
The mountain-like black shadows disappeared into the gray fog over China, casting shadows that made the entire sea seem to fall into an abyss.
That's not the scale a living organism should have, but rather...
A moving natural disaster!
"This is... Calamity Beast?" Wei Leyang turned to look at Han Ling with some uncertainty.
The figure's outline was clearly not human, and the fact that it had specifically called everyone from the Supervision Bureau to come and see it made its identity obvious— Calamity Beast!
Even so, Wei Leyang still found it hard to believe, no, he dared not believe it.
The figure was so enormous that the most Calamity Beast they usually encountered were only a few meters tall. Seeing one so much larger was hard for him to believe.
"Yes, it's been confirmed that it's Calamity Beast." Han Ling nodded.
"How did you determine that?" Wang Hai asked.
"Because of the content of the video, and because more than one person saw this Calamity Beast," Han Ling said.
"Did more than one person see the video...?" Shen Heng looked up at Han Ling.
I haven't watched it yet, so I don't know how it is.
However, the fact that more than one person saw the video suggests that many people saw it, and it was definitely not just one or two.
Seemingly knowing what everyone would ask, Han Ling continued directly after finishing her sentence:
"Many of those people also filmed videos, which will be played together later. You'll see when you watch them."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and their gazes returned to the curtain.
The scene that hadn't even started moving began.
The first sound was the whistling of the wind.
Then came the wildly surging, sky-covering clouds and mist.
Purple lightning, like a dragon, weaved through the gray-white mist, relentlessly striking the enormous Calamity Beast.
Each burst of lightning illuminated the Calamity Beast's abnormally long body and tattered wing membranes.
The Calamity Beast continued to fly through the clouds and mist, sometimes rushing to a certain spot as if attacking something.
However, because they were too far away, it was impossible to see them clearly.
The Calamity Beast began to roar.
The extremely low growl and the faint rumble of thunder were masked by the mournful wind, making them difficult to hear.
Shen Heng silently watched the battle unfold on the screen.
He inexplicably felt the Calamity Beast's emotions through its extremely low roar.
That feeling of rage, agitation, and the urge to destroy everything around you.
However, Shen Heng didn't pay too much attention to it.
He shifted his gaze, looking at the surging clouds and the purple lightning.
Cloud and Mist is Li Daoyi, Purple Lightning is Jiang Xingwei, and then...
Shen Heng's gaze fell on the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, carefully observing its movements.
The Calamity Beast's body trembled violently during the attack, sometimes abruptly pausing as if struck by an invisible force, yet the clouds and lightning did not hit it at those moments.
In other words, are there any other people?
Shen Heng stared quietly at the image on the screen.
Because the scene was so far away, only the swirling clouds, the flashing purple lightning, and the enormous Calamity Beast were noticeable.
Other things, let alone people who are only one or two meters tall, you can't expect to see even a ten-meter-tall tree at this distance.
However, the only ones who are also at the Fifth Tier are probably the remaining few who can fight this Calamity Beast alongside Daoist Master Li and Jiang Xingwei.
But they can't be seen in the videos, which means their abilities aren't the kind that have a particularly noticeable effect?
and...
Shen Heng's gaze lingered on the tattered wing on the back of the Calamity Beast.
He recalled the ripples he had seen from the sky when he returned home that morning.
Rice Country, ripples, injury, video...
The clues seem to have formed a coherent line.
This Calamity Beast was in the Rice Country, then it was discovered, and the Rice Country attacked it...
It seems that only a high-yield nuclear bomb can transmit the sound waves from an explosion across the entire globe, and then...
Even nuclear bombs can't kill this Calamity Beast?!
Shen Heng frowned, his gaze fixed on the huge black shadow in the video.
The next thing to happen is that the Calamity Beast ran this way, was discovered by the Great Xia's Supervision Bureau, and then sent out capable people to intercept and kill it, which is what we are seeing now.
Besides these, there was another thing that intrigued Shen Heng.
That's the battlefield!
Below the video is a vast ocean, while above is a battlefield shrouded in gray clouds.
If the air can be used as a battlefield, then obviously you need to be able to fly; otherwise, you can't exactly fight alongside Calamity Beast while sitting in fighter jets, right?
In other words...
Can Fifth Tier being fly?
Shen Heng silently gazed at the image on the screen.
The video is long; the battle continues.
However, as the battle progressed, the Calamity Beast ' fighting gradually became more frenzied, no longer as Order as it had been at the beginning.
Moreover, the Calamity Beast's form was getting smaller and smaller...
The center of the battlefield is moving further and further away from the location where the video was filmed!
Soon, as the clouds and mist continued to shrink, and the figure of the Calamity Beast could only be seen as a small dot, the video ended.
A hush fell over the meeting room.
Shen Heng tapped the table twice and looked at Wang Hai, asking:
"Captain, what was the height of those Fifth Tier Qilin Ice Lizard that appeared on the plateau a couple of years ago?"
"About thirty meters," Wang Hai replied in a deep voice.
"That one just now..."
"That Calamity Beast was about two hundred meters long," a gentle voice said.
Shen Heng looked at Le Gu Nan, who had just spoken, "How did you know?"
"It's a rough estimate, it might not be accurate," Le Gu Nan said in a low voice.
How was it calculated?
" Sister Ling, could you please pause the video at 4 minutes and 23 seconds?" Le Gu Nan turned to look at Han Ling.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling made a move, freezing the video at the time Le Gu Nan mentioned.
Everyone turned their attention back to the video.
"Look, at this moment, there is a cumulonimbus cloud above the battlefield, and the base of a cumulonimbus cloud is usually less than one thousand meters high."
Le Gu Nan raised his hand and gestured vaguely at the image on the screen.
"Through perspective calculations, plus the approximately 30° upward angle used for filming the video, and the analysis of trigonometric functions..."
" The Calamity Beast is probably over two hundred meters tall."
