Bad Things Don't Mean Bad Luck

The Scarlet Alliance State and Qinmeng are 50,000 li apart.

When Zhang Xuezhou went to the Three Realms, he still believed that Qinmeng, a half-step ascendant, was far away from him, and he never imagined that the other party had come to Western Capital City.

"Why couldn't Hu Yu hold him off? Is his competence really that bad, or were all those Fire Meteor cultivators killed?"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to gaze at Li Yingbo and use his qi to enter a state of Fortune Technique, he quickly stopped and instead began sending communication messages.

Zhang Xuezhou had used the Qi Luck Bead to observe the opponent's speed. At a constant speed, it would take at least three to five days to reach the Scarlet Alliance State. If patrols and searches were included, the time would be even longer.

Although the Scarlet Alliance State appears to be the furthest from the Qinmeng continent, it is very likely that the Scarlet Alliance State will be the first country to be inspected and inventoried.

"The political situation in the Scarlet Alliance State is extremely stable, with no armed conflicts erupting. Many of the Sequence Holder are not particularly outstanding, and the number of powerful individuals we are showcasing here is extremely limited. The Sequence Display currently being broadcast is also restricted to those below the Seventh Sequence, and since it's a public event, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find relevant information... He seems to want to use the Ferocious Beast as a target to lure a group of powerful individuals into a pincer movement, thereby removing a thorn in his side!"

After much deliberation, Zhang Xuezhou managed to figure out the factors that caused the red deer to evolve into Ferocious Beast.

"Given the rate at which this red deer evolves, how long do you think it would take to become Ferocious Beast in its normal state?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Luo Burang, then asked in a low voice.

"I think it will take two days," Luo Burang said.

"With only a special task force, how do you think we can defeat this red deer that has evolved into Ferocious Beast?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"The task force needs to be equipped with aircraft for air-to-ground strafing, and also needs specially made penetrating bullets," Luo Burang hesitation.

What if the red deer could be further strengthened?

"Then we must take advantage of this moment and insert highly concentrated explosives into the deer's body!"

Luo Burang without even thinking that Zhang Xuezhou had most likely guessed the truth.

Defeating the Ferocious Beast without deploying Seventh Sequence Holder means that any individual Sequence Holder demonstrates a personal threat could face high risk.

When Luo Burang thought of Huang Daoxian's mention of Qinmeng's targeted elimination of half-step dimensional ascendants, Luo Burang help but gasp.

"We can hide here, but what about the Thousand Islands Alliance?" Luo Burang asked.

"I have already sent a message to Professor Ren, telling them to be more restrained in the near future, and even if they have to participate in combat, they must use firearms," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Is it true that we only have one red deer here?"

I don't know!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

He was unsure of the limits of Qinmeng's half-step ascendant abilities, nor the number and scope of the tests, but Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that once Qin Meng was deemed a threat, he would inevitably face the risk of elimination.

This means that only by relying on firearms can they circumvent the scrutiny imposed by individuals with superior strength.

"The experiments in North Rehe also need to be suspended. I don't think it's safe even if the facilities are underground," Luo Burang, frowning.

"We can stop for a while and talk about it after we get through this," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Not to mention Luo Burang, even Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that the competition on home soil would proceed so quickly.

This is an opponent with a higher risk than Huang Daoxian, and a powerful cultivator who is difficult to confront head-on. Even if the opponent reveals himself now, Zhang Xuezhou has no way to deal with him.

"Just how strong is he?" Luo Burang asked doubtfully.

"I detonated the explosives you planted in the Spider God's Cave, and the mountain collapsed. He emerged unharmed after digging through hundreds of meters of rock!"

"It's magical!"

Luo Burang lowered his voice.

"He must really dislike explosives, and it's highly likely that he was the first to patrol human kingdoms because of explosives, otherwise he wouldn't have traveled such a long distance to come here," Luo Burang whispered.

"That's right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "Before we find his weakness, we can't be the first to act. We should strive to keep the battlefield in Qinmeng!"

"His behavior of suppressing his opponents must stem from a significant physical defect," Luo Burang warned. "If we can hide and exploit his weakness, the threat will likely be eliminated!"

"That's what I think too!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He put the Soul Jade he had pried off back in, while Luo Burang contacted Zuo Denggao to seek a small and discreet way to control the explosion.

Although it is unknown how many Ferocious Beast Qinmeng, a half-step ascendant, has arranged, there is undoubtedly still ample time to prepare.

After roughly confirming the situation, Zhang Xuezhou contacted Li Yingbo.

"Zhouzi, we performed the ritual for that Fortune Technique. According to you, we should have had great luck and reached the pinnacle of life. How come we're the first to encounter trouble!"

Li Yingbo still holds a strong hand in the Scarlet Alliance State: his numerous Seventh Sequence Holder are enough to suppress the chaos that has erupted in many regions.

When he heard Zhang Xuezhou suggest using only firearms, he felt completely overwhelmed.

"We're already very lucky to have two days to prepare against this kind of opponent," Zhang Xuezhou said earnestly. "In other places, it would be difficult to determine the timing, let alone the method of retaliation!"

"That's true!"

Li Yingbo scratched his head, and for a moment he felt that Zhang Xuezhou's words made sense. At least they still had time to prepare, and could even directly eliminate the threat of this deer.

"You don't need to worry about a surge of dozens or hundreds of Ferocious Beast. Firstly, his flying speed is not fast enough to reach all the locations in time. Secondly, this transformation will not be achieved easily; he will inevitably have to pay a price," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"If, as you suspect, there will be a price to pay, this kind of thing is more likely to happen in the Beast Factories. The eight Beast Factories in Western Capital City and Wangjing City are likely to be the hardest-hit areas!"

"It's good that you have a plan. Let's first investigate the situation at each factory, and then try our best to make the arrangements properly!"

If there are any abnormalities at Zhu Liangping's factory, he can contact Li Yingbo directly. Other monster factories don't have Zhu Liangping's network of connections, and their reports might get stuck in the review process.

Li Yingbo was also quickly making communications to try and figure out the situation in various places.

"You dare to cover up something like this? Do you think Ferocious Beast are just huge wild animals?"

The communication lasted only a few minutes, but Li Yingbo's face turned ashen.

The Scarlet Alliance State to bet all its high-end resources on the A6 laboratory has indeed raised some issues.

Gao Tingsheng, an intellectual with strong emotions, is not an isolated case; some research institutes are also preparing to conduct their own research.

After venting his anger, Li Yingbo was unsure whether other alien beast factories and research institutes were concealing information, so he could only prioritize arranging what he could do at the moment.

"Gao Tingsheng has found the source of the Ferocious Beast's evolution!"

Only when someone in the monitoring room couldn't contain their excitement did Li Yingbo hang up the communication and head directly to the makeshift dissection laboratory with Zhang Xuezhou.
