Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes in surprise.
How could his strength have increased to 378KG in just over twenty days?
If things continue like this, wouldn't he be able to reach the limits of human potential and break through to the First Tier in about twenty more days?
The members of the Supervision Bureau were unaware of this speed.
However, it seems that those in the Martial Arts Association are progressing even faster than Master Lei Zhijian, the first martial artist in Linhai.
It's just a little slower than the national record for the fastest person to become a martial artist!
Under everyone's gaze, Qiu Rui smiled sheepishly.
"Maybe it's because I'm slightly more talented in this area."
"Ah, I wish I had your talent!" someone sighed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ye Chengyun's gaze lingered on Qiu Rui for a moment, then he smiled and said:
"It seems our Linhai is about to have another genius!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, everyone, please continue with your introductions."
As Ye Chengyun spoke, his gaze turned to the next person after Qiu Rui.
" Ding Bochao, currently in the boxing..."
Several days later.
On a street in Linhai City.
Shen Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze fell on the corpse of the Calamity Beast not far in front of him.
They didn't kill this Calamity Beast; rather, it was killed by other Calamity Beast, just like before.
Similar injuries, similar timing, and even the location is still in the same area.
Haven't they left yet?
Shen Heng turned his head to look at the empty streets around him, pondering.
I had specifically searched the area beforehand, but I didn't find any creatures that resembled the Calamity Beast.
In this situation, if the Calamity Beast never leaves, there are several possibilities.
First, it must be mimicry, and specifically, it must be able to Life Simulation or matter.
Second, it resembles animals like cats and dogs that can be seen in urban areas, and it is not very large.
Third, those without physical form. This uncertainty is not currently recorded in the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide; it is merely Shen Heng's speculation.
Any one of these three methods can actually evade Shen Heng's Echolocation detection.
However, it's actually difficult to possess any one of these three qualities.
Moreover, even if it is one of these three, there is still a major problem, the same as last time.
How come it hasn't attacked people for so long?
All the Calamity Beast attacks that occurred during this period have been resolved, and there have been no additional casualties caused by Calamity Beast attacks.
In other words, it did not attack anyone during this period.
Those who dare to attack the Calamity Beast clearly wouldn't be afraid to attack humans.
so...
Did you leave and then come back?
But why choose this particular area?
Is there treasure nearby?
Shen Heng looked uncertainly at the empty streets around him.
Whether the Calamity Beast stayed in this area or left and then returned, there are always things that are hard to understand.
His train of thought was interrupted by the conversation between Wang Hai and Fan Hong nearby.
"Did you get any useful information this time?" Wang Hai asked Fan Hong.
Fan Hong shook his head.
"When the person who reported the incident saw it, the Calamity Beast was already dead, and another Calamity Beast was dragging its body into the bushes."
"Then, fearing that the Calamity Beast would discover him and chase after him, he immediately drove away."
"The only useful thing was that he said he saw the Calamity Beast was brownish-brown."
"Earthy brown?"
"Yes, that's right, earthy brown!" Fan Hong nodded.
"The streetlights at this location are blocked by trees, so the color will look different; many colors might be mistaken for a brownish-brown," Le Gu Nan reminded him.
"That's why I feel this news is useless," Fan Hong said from the side.
Wang Hai nodded slightly, without saying a word.
Shen Heng, meanwhile, pondered the possible colors.
The shaded area was an earthy brown; the exact color might be unclear, but it could be yellow or brownish-yellow...
Brownish-yellow? Could it be another Golden Rat?
Shen Heng frowned, then dismissed the guess in his mind.
It's not Golden Rat; I haven't heard of any gold or similar items being lost in Linhai recently.
However, this did serve as a reminder to him that there might be other Calamity Beast capable of burrowing underground.
The Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide Calamity Beast that could burrow underground flashed through Shen Heng's mind, only to be rejected one by one.
Shen Heng began to wonder if it was necessary to search the underground area.
"This demonic Calamity Beast is really troublesome!" Wu Cheng couldn't help but complain as he looked at the group deep in thought.
"Do you think this might be a Calamity Beast that's friendly to humans?" Wei Leyang suddenly asked from the side.
" Calamity Beast that's friendly to humans?" Han Ling looked at Wei Leyang with some curiosity.
Shen Heng and the others also looked over.
"That's right, otherwise why wouldn't he attack humans?"
Seeing that everyone seemed about to object, Wei Leyang spoke up:
" The Ruins Realm is so vast, it's not really that strange that there are Calamity Beast that are friendly to humans, is it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone opened their mouths, unsure how to refute it.
Indeed, although there have been no Calamity Beast friendly to humans before, it cannot be said that they will not appear in the future.
Shen Heng nodded slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, "Even humans need to eat. If, as you say, it didn't attack humans but only the Calamity Beast, then someone must be raising this Calamity Beast."
"The friendship between humans and Calamity Beast!" Wei Leyang smiled.
The crowd glanced at him speechlessly before averting their gaze.
"Alright, since this Calamity Beast hasn't attacked humans, let's leave it for now." Wang Hai turned to Fan Hong. "Thank you for your help today. We'll notify the Logistics Department to handle the rest."
Fan Hong nodded, and as he turned to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turning back to Wang Hai and saying:
" Captain Wang, the police station transferred a case to me today, and I'm a bit unsure about it. If you're free right now, why don't you go check it out?"
"What incident?" Wang Hai turned to Fan Hong and asked.
"In the past month, more than a dozen people from Linhai have gone missing. After investigation, the police found that all the missing persons had visited a seafood market," Fan Hong said simply.
"Later, the police station sent people to investigate the seafood market, but they found nothing."
"We sent people to investigate again today, but we found nothing."
"But the only connection between those missing people was that they had all been to the seafood market before they disappeared."
Fan Hong paused for a moment, then looked at Wang Hai.
"So I'm a little unsure, and I was thinking if you guys don't have anything else to do, maybe you could go check out the seafood market."
Shen Heng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Fan Hong.
Seafood market, people missing, something seems a bit like...
