The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Zhou Jian's lips turned down slightly; he was smiling, but it gave off a cold feeling.

"It's great to see you again."

Zhou Jian muttered to himself.

A blurry image flashed through his mind.

That was his first day in Wasteland Era.

His chest was instantly pierced by this pink ribbon.

He will never forget that scene for the rest of his life.

In the dim light, one of Hidden Light's compound eyes gleamed with a cold green light.

Its body was slightly arched.

The pink ribbon retracted the next second.

Then it lunged at Zhou Jian again.

It was moving faster than before, and the air hissed sharply.

Zhou Jian was not surprised but pleased, and his fingers twitched slightly.

A thin, gray thread, as fine as a strand of hair, instantly slipped from the fingertip.

Almost invisible to the naked eye.

The gray silk thread reached out towards the pink ribbon without pausing.

Using the impact of the Hidden Light Long Tongue, the gray silk thread easily split the long tongue in two.

brush!

A long, pink tongue, broken in the middle.

*Pfft!*

Tons of blood gushed out.

"ah--!!"

Ni Guang let out a sharp screech.

The pain caused its body to tremble violently.

But it did not hesitate at all, and the broken tongue quickly retracted.

At the same time, the granulation tissue at the broken end of the long tongue began to wriggle.

It heals rapidly at an astonishing speed, becoming one with the other.

Within a few breaths, the long pink tongue returned to normal.

The silk thread retracted and wrapped around Zhou Jian's fingertips again. He looked at the monster in the distance: "Is this the self-healing ability of a leader-level monster?"

A flicker of surprise crossed his mind.

As expected, killing a boss-level monster is not that simple.

Having been fooled once, Ni Guang completely abandoned his contempt.

Its compound eyes were fixed on Zhou Jian; it sensed a threat.

This tiny human being before him was different from everyone else; perhaps he really could kill him.

boom--!!

Ni Guang leaped to the ground.

It shook its body, stirring up clouds of dust.

When the dust disappears.

Its figure disappeared from everyone's sight once again.

Zhou Jian quickly scanned his surroundings but found nothing.

He surveyed the surrounding ruins.

Every stone, every shadow, is perfectly normal.

There was no trace of Hidden Light.

"That cunning beast!" Zhou Jian cursed under his breath.

He immediately sent a message to Chen Feng.

"Captain, can your mental powers detect the monster's presence?"

The message received a reply almost instantly.

Chen Feng's voice came through.

"No, it's too far."

"That monster is outside my perception range."

Zhou Jian did not press the matter further.

He merely observed his surroundings warily.

The Hidden Light could appear at any moment; it was like a ghost.

Lurking on the edge of the battlefield, waiting for the fatal blow.

This unpredictable threat is more dangerous than a monster that charges head-on.

It can undermine morale.

At the same time, it can deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Zhou Jian continued to search for Ni Guang's whereabouts with vigilance.

He brought his perception to its fullest potential.

No matter how slight the abnormality, it could not escape his notice.

Sudden.

The ground shook again, continuously.

It was as if some enormous creature was writhing deep underground.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

far away.

In the ruins outside the safe zone.

A gigantic figure slowly rose from the ground.

Its body was enormous, and its scales shimmered with a dark luster.

This is a giant snake.

Judging by the naked eye, its body is estimated to be several kilometers long.

Perched amidst the ruins, it resembles a moving mountain range.

The giant snake raised its head high, its huge tongue spitting out a foul stench.

Every inch of skin exudes an ancient and sinister sense of oppression.

【Grim Totem - Garuda】

[Level: Boss]

Combat Power: 29852

[Combat Level: B]

The third boss-level monster has finally appeared on the battlefield.

The difficulty of these monsters has exceeded their expectations.

The hidden light is still in the shadows.

Scarface is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Feng and his group.

just now.

Another Galoth has arrived.

Galo's cold, vertical pupils swept across the battlefield.

Instead of attacking immediately, it looked down upon these tiny humans like a judge.

Its appearance plunged the already chaotic battlefield into even deeper panic.

These three leader-level monsters are perhaps not even one ten-thousandth as strong as Ainz Ooal Gown.

However, such a huge size, just standing there, is a huge pressure.

Most people have an inexplicable fear of huge objects.

This is a suppression stemming from bloodline.

Although it wasn't outwardly expressed, the soldiers' morale was more or less affected.

Everyone was deeply shocked by this scene.

The appearance of Garod seemed to instantly silence the entire battlefield.

All sounds were completely swallowed up by an invisible sense of oppression.

The snake flicks its tongue in and out each time.

They all carried a nauseating, fishy stench.

Galod's head suddenly sank downwards.

The immense inertia caused the ruins beneath it to collapse instantly, sending countless rubble flying.

Its target is the defensive line composed of human soldiers on the outskirts of the safe zone.

But that line of defense was as fragile as paper in its presence.

boom--!!!

Garuda's giant tail possesses world-destroying power.

It swept out with a sudden, powerful motion.

The air was torn apart, producing a sharp popping sound.

Countless soldiers didn't even have time to make a sound.

It was instantly crushed into a bloody, mangled mass by that immense force.

A heavy, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.

That was a true massacre, with no room for resistance.

Even some powerful individuals who have completed their first awakening.

Even in the face of Galo, they seemed so small and powerless.

Their runic power was like a child's game to Garod.

There was absolutely no way to stop that giant tail from sweeping across the area.

A sense of despair spread rapidly among the crowd.

Like a plague.

"How are we supposed to fight like this?"

"They're not even in the same league!"

But his voice was quickly drowned out by Galod's attack.

Mr. Qian's figure was in the chaotic crowd.

His weathered face was now ashen.

His eyes were fixed on Galod.

He suddenly waved his hand.

next second.

It was accompanied by a low growl.

A group of figures swarmed out from behind Mr. Qian.

They have human-like physiques and monstrous characteristics.

Each person exudes a unique aura.

Some of them have irregular scales covering their skin.

Some had sharp claws growing from their fingertips, while others had eyes that gleamed with a beastly light.

This group of people are all experts who have completed the intermediate gene awakening and alienation path.

It is also the official trump card.

Like arrows released from a bow, they raced toward Garod at a speed beyond human limits.

The leading soldier.

His arms had been completely mutated, turning into a pair of enormous mantis blades.

The blade gleamed with a chilling light.

He leaped into the air, leaving a trail of afterimages.

It went straight for Galo's head.

The remaining warriors also launched attacks on Garod from different directions.

On the backs of some warriors, enormous bat-like wings sprouted, flapping through the air and emitting a low rumble.

He swooped down from the sky, his weapon whistling through the air.

The other warrior had legs as thick as a wild beast.

When running on the ground.

Each step he took created tiny cracks in the hard ground.

They are extremely fast.

They also cooperated seamlessly with each other.

Galo felt offended.

A hint of disdain flashed in its vertical pupils.

These tiny creatures actually dared to try to stop it.

Galo let out a deafening screech.

The sound waves transformed into a tangible impact.

The soldiers closest to it were instantly blasted away.

But many more soldiers, like a tidal wave, followed one after another.

Their attacks seemed so insignificant against Garod's massive body.

It couldn't even break through Galo's hard scales.

However, their presence significantly hindered Galod's every action.
