Chapter 1 Ding Lu

Ding Lu stood blankly on the spot, feeling a wave of dizziness.

Those living people had turned into pieces of minced meat in a matter of seconds, and it wasn't mutated beasts that had killed them, but Lu Chi, a fellow human being.

"Why?" Ding Lu looked at Lu Chi with a stiff expression, muttering to himself, "They could have lived, I could have saved them."

"The boss's order to me was to guard the defense line, not to save people." Lu Chi said calmly, "I won't risk my life and the boss's orders to gamble on your slim chance of success."

Ding Lu's brow twitched violently. He was furious, and he stepped forward to grab Lu Chi's collar, wanting to burst into curses, but his lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"If the boss were here, he definitely wouldn't have done what you did..." Ding Lu gritted his teeth, saying each word with emphasis.

Lu Chi sneered, not refuting.

Li Tianran possessed the ability to grasp every movement on the entire island. Li Tianran must have seen the beast tide's actions of holding humans hostage through some channel, but until now, Li Tianran hadn't issued any orders to Lu Chi and Ding Lu, which was enough to illustrate the problem.

Li Tianran approved of his behavior, Lu Chi thought.

...

The helicopter landed on a mountain peak in the Southern District. Li Tianran stood on the rock, looking out at the distant sea.

The calm sea surface had now churned into a raging storm. The waves howled, condensing into a whirlpool nearly a hundred meters in diameter. This whirlpool was moving across the sea at an extremely fast speed, approaching the island.

Li Tianran didn't see any data information about the Beast King in the whirlpool. Perhaps it was because the Beast King in the whirlpool was hiding too deeply, and Li Tianran's vision couldn't reach it.

"Preparing to use the power of the sea to forcibly land?" Li Tianran saw the raging waves on the distant sea surface. The water surface at the center of the sea whirlpool was deeply recessed, while the edge was rolled up into waves nearly a hundred meters high. These waves pressed towards the land, dark and heavy, obscuring the sky and the sun!

A massive body, capable of stirring up waves within the sea, was indeed one of the Beast King's innate abilities.

However, the island had no dams built to withstand waves of this magnitude. Li Tianran looked at the approaching waves, hundreds of meters away, and said after a moment of silence, "Retreat one kilometer to the rear, and control the battle line within ten kilometers of the landing site!"

Crack, crack, crack!

Five Tank-Class Combat Manstoppers retreated, their heavy mechanical legs stepping on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

No… it wasn’t the Tank-Class Combat Manstoppers that were shaking the earth, but the shocking, raging waves!

In just a few moments, the raging waves slammed against the mountain walls and land in the southern part of Raging Breath Island. Looking down from the sky, the entire Raging Breath Island was trembling in the turbulent sea.

The seawater frantically washed against the mountain walls, and large chunks of rock shattered and rolled into the sea.

The mountain wall that had originally served as a sea beast display board had been washed away by the seawater. The sea beast corpses that had been firmly nailed to it had disappeared. Clearly, the Beast King hiding in the waves had moved.

Wave after wave of raging tides washed over the island, and Li Tianran saw a large number of shadows moving in the sea.

The Beast Kings were about to land.

Or… they had already landed.

The continuous raging tides were like a tsunami, submerging two small mountain ranges in the Southern District. A large amount of seawater had accumulated in the mountain ravines. Li Tianran and the Tank-Class Combat Manstoppers retreated from the edge of the mountain range. A large number of Cruiser-Class Radars flew out from behind Li Tianran like a swarm of wasps, heading straight for the submerged mountain range.

The Cruiser Radars' thermal sensors were activated. Soon, at least thirty red dots representing Beast Kings appeared within the detection range.

At least thirty Beast Kings had landed using the earlier tsunami.

Moreover, among the sea beasts, there was a certain type of Beast King that could lower its body temperature to the point that even thermal detectors couldn't detect it, so the number of Beast Kings that had already landed was at least double "thirty"!

Dark clouds filled the sky, obscuring the little sunlight that remained.

Under the vast darkness, a roar echoed through the sky.

"Roar!"

The Beast Kings finally appeared with a roar, revealing their true forms.

Various massive and ferocious Beast Kings emerged from the water in the darkness. Their connected figures seemed to shake the earth. Demonic black shadows swayed as they rushed towards the interior of Raging Breath Island!

One, two, three…

At this moment, there were at least fifty Beast Kings revealing themselves on land!

They were cold and calm.

Boom, boom, boom!

After landing, these more than fifty Beast Kings began to quickly disperse, heading with extremely accurate targets towards the distant mining area and farms. Their massive bodies crashed into some low hills, shattering them!

Li Tianran's eyebrows shot up, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of bombers rose from high above the farm, breaking through the wind like lightning.

At the same time, more than three hundred Cruiser Radars surrounded these rampaging Beast Kings, locking onto their positions for the missile launchers at the farm.

Snap!

The electronic eyes of the five Tank-Class Combat Manstoppers instantly turned red. The giant cannons on their shoulders fired instantly, and the three-meter-long blades in the mechanical arms' palms swung, cutting open the limbs of a Giant Crab Beast King. But soon, its limbs quickly regenerated.

"Giant Crab Beast King, the defect is the fourth leg bone on the left side, shatter it!"

"Dragon Whale Beast King, the defect is the second heart in its chest!"

"Blue Jellyfish Beast King, the defect is..."

Li Tianran calmly used "Defect Mastery" to find the Beast Kings' weak points, otherwise, no matter how badly they were injured, they couldn't be completely killed.

The evolution of these sea Beast Kings seemed to be more thorough than that of the land Beast Kings. To adapt to the conditions on land, their fins had changed, growing fin-like claws like duck feet, and becoming stronger and more powerful.

At this moment, their speed as they rampaged across the land was no slower than their speed in the sea!

Buzz, buzz!

The bombers broke through the wind, and nearly a hundred small missiles streaked across the sky like meteors, targeting the Beast Kings that were constantly invading forward.

Boom, boom, boom!

The missiles fell, and flames soared into the sky, causing the earth to shake violently.

Li Tianran, sitting on the shoulder of a Tank-Class Combat Manstopper, leaped up and out of the flames. His eyes locked onto the sea of fire below, and he reached out his palm and pressed it downward.

"Gravity Domain, expand!"

"Gravity Suppression!"

Buzz!

An extremely strange wave spread out from Li Tianran's body. The soaring flames suddenly stagnated, and then, as if encountering a hurricane from the sky, the flames instantly swept back towards the ground.

The fire wave spread across the earth like ripples, inflicting secondary damage on the Beast Kings that had already been severely injured in the bombing.

"Aow!"

Amidst flying flesh and blood, the Beast Kings howled miserably.

More than a dozen Beast Kings, covered in blood and with missing limbs, fell on the road of attack. Their exposed flesh was charred, and the air was filled with a foul, burning smell.
