Chapter 247: Feeding on All Sides
Early morning.
Luo Yan was training in the driver’s seat.
No one came in here.
Not afraid of being disturbed.
In the ‘Viewing the Mountains and Seas’ intermediate second floor, Luo Yan has nurtured all his body’s acupoints.
Now, in Luo Yan’s body, the Elemental Power is using the meridians as bridges to start building connections, forming a ‘river stream’ that ultimately gathers in the dantian.
By forming the ‘Ocean of Qi’, he can advance to the third level.
While Luo Yan is training, the shadow of his Original Soul is also training.
The Elemental Power condenses into droplets and converges towards the shadow of the Original Soul, where a green dragon on its body swims from time to time, opening its mouth to suck in a large amount of Elemental Power droplets.
It seems like they are each practicing separately.
However,
The Elemental Powers between Luo Yan and the shadow of the Original Soul intersect from time to time, mutually nourishing each other, making both sides both independent and unified.
After completing the training.
Luo Yan had just left the driver’s seat.
Brushed teeth and had breakfast.
While eating, Shen Biao approached, “It’s time to depart.”
“We will follow the tracks left by the giant beast last night to see what we can find.”
“A reconnaissance team has been sent to the underground city. We need to find those two Chaos as soon as possible. I have a bad feeling about this.”
Luo Yan finished his food in a couple of bites, clapped his hands, and stood up.
After a moment.
The convoy set off.
Shen Biao, Luo Yan, and three other Mecha Masters, each with their own mecha.
Five big mecha transport vehicles, along with more than ten guard cars, were driving in a vast empty wilderness.
Ahead of them, several drones were flying around to scout and track the traces left by the giant beasts.
The giant beasts were huge in size, and their traces were very noticeable, especially since there were two of them, making it even easier to spot.
After the convoy traveled for a while, Shen Biao noticed something was off.
“They are indeed not heading towards Qingyang. Judging by this route, it seems like they are turning towards the ‘Land Dragon Mine’,” Shen Biao remarked.
Captain Zhang Mianbo, who set off with the convoy, looked puzzled and asked, “Why are they going to the forbidden area?”
Luo Yan remembered one ability of the giant beasts.
‘Predation.’
He immediately realized, “To find food.”
Shen Biao suddenly remembered the Chaos when it failed to split last night, nodded, and said, “It’s possible.”
“That thing needs to gather and store a large amount of energy.”
Zhang Mianbo asked, “What does it need so much energy for?”
This question.
Nobody answered.
But just thinking about it, you would know it’s definitely not a good thing.
Close to noon.
The convoy came to a stop.
Luo Yan and Shen Biao, along with a few others, arrived at a rocky area, and not far ahead of them was a town.
The town was very quiet, quiet in a somewhat unusual way.
Shen Biao squinted slightly and said, “Some survivors live in this town, usually in areas like the sewers or underground parking lots.”
“Incidents like this can be seen everywhere on the surface, but only a few can seek shelter in the underground city.”
Luo Yan nodded, living just as Shen Biao described for the past three years.
“But now, the town is quiet to an excessive extent.”
While Shen Biao was speaking, drones had already toured the town and transmitted back the footage they captured.
From the footage, the town’s buildings were severely damaged, especially the ground, showing numerous craters for unknown reasons.
“What do you all think?”
Shen Biao looked at the others behind him with a solemn expression.
Zhang Mianbo’s face turned pale as he said, “Could those pits have been dug just last night?”
“Are you saying, giant beast?” a scar-faced pilot asked.
Another bearded Mecha Master suddenly said, “Have you ever seen an anteater feeding? They dig a hole leading to an ant nest, then stick out their long tongue.”
With that said, an image flashed through Luo Yan’s mind.
In the dark night, two Chaos suddenly appeared, sensing survivors in the town.
They then dug into the ground, extended their long tongues, and snatched away humans one by one, feasting until none were left.
Shen Biao also said in a deep voice, “Not a single human can be seen in the underground area now.”
Drones entered the underground area, in places like sewers and underground parking lots, where human belongings could be seen, but no humans were in sight.
Instead, there were only patches of dark red bloodstains.
Turning off the tablet, Shen Biao said in a deep voice, “Keep tracking.”
In the afternoon.
They arrived at a plain where the convoy stopped.
Not far ahead.
A huge skull blocked the way.
“The comparison results are out, it’s Tanuki Power.”
Shen Biao handed the tablet to the others.
Luo Yan took it and looked at it.
The match rate between the skull and Tanuki Power was 91%.
It is certain that blocking the convoy in front is the skeleton of a creature called Tanuki Power.
There is hardly any flesh or blood left on this skeleton.
Also, the body is not complete.
It looks like it has been cut into several pieces by something.
“Damn thing, after eating humans, did it start eating giant beasts?”
Shen Biao looked at the huge white bones ahead and felt even more worried.
Two days later.
They arrived at Forbidden Area No. 5, the ‘Dragon Dragon Plain’, and met up with a reconnaissance team from the underground city.
This reconnaissance team had been tracking the giant beast all the way and finally discovered that it had entered the forbidden area.
While Shen Biao was talking to the captain of the scout team, someone outside the command tent shouted, “Reporting!”
Immediately after, a slender young man squeezed in.
The scout was tall and skinny, full of energy. When he saw the captain and Shen Biao, he stood straight as a pole and said, “Scout Peng Zhengyang has information to report!”
The captain of the scouts simply said, “Go on!”
The scout named Peng Zhengyang exclaimed, “Captain, I found the location of the giant beast!”
The captain of the scouts couldn’t help but look at Shen Biao.
Shen Biao quickly said, “Lead the way.”
After a moment.
Luo Yan followed Shen Biao, venturing deep into the forbidden territory with the guidance of the scout.
Along the way, they saw many big animal bones, all freshly dead.
Just like with Tanuki Power, they were all torn apart before being eaten.
They walked all the way.
Including the earlier Tanuki Power.
Just the ones Luo Yan and his friends found, four big animals had been partly eaten.
These were not four wild boars, but four big animals!
Even if just the bones were left, the amount of meat alone could probably summon two or three Chaos!
Can that thing eat so much?
Less than a day.
It had already eaten four giant beasts. If it could convert all the food it ate into energy, then Chaos’s digestion and energy conversion rate would be frighteningly high.
They climbed over a field of rocky hills.
Peng Zhengyang, who was leading the way, stopped and lay on a cold hard rock, pointing ahead.
Luo Yan and the others also lay down on the ground.
They looked into the distance.
Suddenly, something stood up behind a cluster of tall and short stalagmites.
Chaos!
The creature, with a wolf-like head and no eyes or nose, small wings on its back, and decaying all over, stood up behind the rocky hills.
It seemed a bit confused and slow.
Walking without a specific destination.
Then behind that first chaos, a second, a third… in total, six chaos creatures appeared one after another.
Some were walking upright, some were crawling on the ground using both hands and feet, some were flapping their small wings trying to fly, and some were lying on the ground as if asleep.
But each giant beast made Shen Biao and the others feel ice-cold.
Just one night had passed.
The number of chaos creatures had increased by four.
If they were given a few more days…
That thought was too scary to imagine!
