Xiong Ying sat in the car, watching the monster hunters struggle to control the situation, feeling a stir within him.
Both he and the hunters below knew that in the current circumstances, unless external forces intervened, it would be almost impossible to regain control.
Each rampaging entity here possessed a power level at least comparable to Xiong Ying's own.
The monster hunters of Qingchuan City couldn't even handle one Xiong Ying, let alone these museum exhibits scattered everywhere.
Fortunately, these creatures seemed to be acting only on instinct, not targeting nearby residential buildings. Otherwise, tragedy would have been unavoidable.
So, despite his impatience, Xiong Ying had no intention of intervening himself. Since there was no immediate threat to civilians, he saw no need to sacrifice his own life to stop this farce.
Just then, a resounding roar echoed, and a colossal figure emerged from behind the museum.
With a height of seven to eight meters and a body ten meters long, a terrifying maw, and two clawed forelimbs resembling chicken feet, its skin appeared harder than bedrock. This was none other than a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Compared to it, the giraffe from earlier seemed like a mere dwarf.
Due to its immense size, the Tyrannosaurus Rex had only just broken free from its amber casing. Upon emerging, it immediately began searching for food.
Trapped in amber for countless years, it needed a substantial amount of fresh food to replenish its strength. It scanned its surroundings, finding that the edible things nearby either looked formidable or were difficult to catch, and not enough to fill its stomach.
So, it gently inhaled through its massive nostrils, drawing a large volume of air into its nasal cavity, and caught the scent of the most concentrated food source in the vicinity.
With that, the Tyrannosaurus Rex lumbered forward, heading towards the city. It became the first museum exhibit to break free from the museum's confines.
Despite its unhurried gait, its sheer size made its progress astonishingly swift.
Changsun Jing and the other monster hunters watched the advancing Tyrannosaurus Rex with wide, envious eyes, desperately trying to stop it on its foraging path.
Upon arriving at the scene, the assistants had immediately begun evacuating the crowds. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was moving directly towards the direction of the evacuation, where all residents from the surrounding areas had been gathered!
Several attacks struck the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It turned its head in annoyance and let out a furious roar in Changsun Jing and the others' direction. The peculiar deterrence, coupled with the immense sonic wave, halted the group in their tracks.
At that moment, a celestial demon, seemingly drawn by the commotion in the sky, blew a gust of air towards Changsun Jing and his team. Small monsters composed of smoke enveloped them.
These small monsters were not strong but were incredibly tenacious. The demon in the sky crossed its arms and laughed, as if enjoying an amusing performance.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex shook its head and continued towards the densely populated area.
It was not a creature from the inner world; it possessed no supernatural abilities, and its intellect was not particularly sharp.
However, after being encased in that special amber for countless years, its physical toughness had long surpassed the limits of ordinary creatures!
With its colossal and robust body alone, it was capable of crushing ordinary disaster-level monsters. If it possessed the intelligence of a normal monster and knew how to utilize its strength, it could even exert the power of a Disaster Mid-sequence!
Xiong Ying sighed. With events having escalated to this point, he could no longer afford to stand idly by.
Among everyone present, only he possessed the ability to stop the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Moreover, its target was not just one or two individuals, but the hiding places of all nearby residents.
For the sake of his remaining less than a year of life, Xiong Ying could not bring himself to abandon the lives of so many.
He stepped out of the car, flames engulfing his body. He transformed once again into the small fire dragon form he had assumed during his battle with Wen Wen. Spreading his wings, he flew behind the Tyrannosaurus Rex and let out a roar.
A guttural challenge, also from a beast, caused the Tyrannosaurus Rex to halt its movement. It turned its head to face Xiong Ying, revealing a frenzied fighting spirit.
Xiong Ying's roar was a direct challenge. As the overlord of the ancient era, the Tyrannosaurus Rex would never evade such a confrontation.
Thus, it temporarily abandoned its quest for food, deciding to eliminate this small, red lizard that dared to provoke it.
Xiong Ying first unleashed a massive gout of flame towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, the flames only caused its skin to char slightly, failing to inflict any real damage. Instead, it only enraged it further.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex lunged forward, its massive tail whipping like a lash, striking Xiong Ying and sending him flying. He crashed through a small pavilion surrounding the museum.
Xiong Ying clambered out of the pavilion, his arm trembling slightly, his scales showing signs of breakage.
"Such immense strength... I absolutely cannot confront it head-on. However, with my Desperate Burst ability, I can at least keep it occupied!"
With that, Xiong Ying charged forward again. This time, he avoided direct collision with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, relying on his smaller size to dodge and weave. The two became locked in a stalemate.
However, Xiong Ying could only hold back this single Tyrannosaurus Rex. Increasingly, and more dangerous entities than this Tyrannosaurus Rex were awakening.
...
The museum was in utter chaos. Countless ten-centimeter-tall figures, armed with both projectile and melee weapons, had turned the museum into a battlefield, igniting a massive war.
Amidst this pandemonium, the Demon Puppet meticulously searched for Qiao Kun. Here, possessing disaster-level strength, it was ironically the more vulnerable existence.
Even the ubiquitous small figures, if considered individually, possessed disaster-level strength when combined within a single faction.
After a difficult search, it finally located Qiao Kun. Qiao Kun had surprisingly escaped through the museum's back door and was fleeing into the distance.
The Demon Puppet let out a cold哼 and was about to pursue when a hand was placed on its back. Scarlet energy surged through its chest, tearing it to shreds!
Wen Wen also lost contact with the Demon Puppet.
"Since the connection to this puppet is the battlefield of two Cataclysm-level forces, severing that connection should halt this chaos. As the museum's administrator, his first reaction was to flee; what a disgrace."
A man in a long robe emerged from behind the puppet, looking at Qiao Kun's retreating figure and saying with some helplessness, "I only read for a little longer, and yet such a huge mess has erupted. The museum will have to relocate again now."
A woman in a sailor uniform appeared silently behind the man, covering her mouth as she chuckled.
"After all, he became an apprentice through the back door, without undergoing the rigorous trials of a normal apprentice. It's normal for him not to know how to handle such a situation. However, that old scoundrel Professor Qiao will likely be in a bit of trouble this time."
The man shook his head and said, "No, letting his son join the association through the back door was already the extent of what that old man was willing to do for his family. He won't pay any price for this unaccomplished creature."
