Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Horror
Luoxue turned to look at the tunnel entrance the General-level Blood Breath Spider had emerged from and said,
"Let’s go check the tunnel that monster came out of."
"Alright!"
Long Ming and the others agreed.
Luoxue led the group toward the tunnel entrance.
They quickly entered the tunnel. It was incredibly dark, and they couldn’t see its end.
Luoxue led Long Ming and the others cautiously deeper into the tunnel.
CRUNCH...
The ground was littered with bone fragments, which made soft crunching sounds under their feet.
However, Long Ming and the others didn’t stop.
They soon reached the end, where the view suddenly opened up.
Long Ming and the others looked up, and expressions of utter horror instantly appeared on their faces.
"This...!"
...
Jing Chuan and the others were too terrified to speak.
The area beyond the tunnel had been transformed into a massive nest. It was teeming with countless small Blood Breath Spiders, a number so vast it was impossible to count.
"This is bad. It’s a monster nest! Everyone, back up slowly. Don’t startle them!"
Long Ming warned, his face paling slightly.
Jing Chuan and the others, their nerves stretched taut, retreated step by agonizing step.
Once they were back in the tunnel, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"We’re safe!"
...
Then, Luoxue spoke in a cold voice.
"We need to get out of here now and warn Qian Luobing. The mountain is filled with monsters."
"Let’s go."
Long Ming snapped back to his senses upon hearing Luoxue’s words.
’With so many monsters hiding here, the main force will be wiped out if they’re ambushed.’
They immediately turned and bolted back the way they came.

「Aimengka City.」
Under the cover of heavy firepower, Captain Alang led his troops on a full-scale assault toward the City Lord’s Mansion in the center of the city.
Blood Corpse Beasts fell one after another along their path, their dark red blood staining the entire area.
The Pilates Streamer reported excitedly.
"Folks, the First Legion’s main force has broken through to the center of the inner city and is about to reach the City Lord’s Mansion! Barring any surprises, Aimengka City will be the first economic hub to be recapt—"
But just then, disaster struck.
As Captain Alang and his troops pushed halfway to their objective, he suddenly felt the air turn red and a heatwave roll in.
"This is bad! Fall back!"
Captain Alang roared.
But it was too late. In an instant, the entire area flash-ignited.
Raging flames engulfed Captain Alang, the surrounding soldiers, and their heavy tanks!
"AHH!"
Amidst blood-curdling screams, soldiers were incinerated one by one.
Captain Alang was blown clear of the conflagration and slammed heavily onto the ground, his full-body armor smoking.
Just then, a seven-meter-tall, Lord Level Blood Corpse Beast emerged, followed by a swarm of Blood Breath Beasts. It had a human-like face, and its body was covered in dark red, fleshy nodules and dense red markings.
"Dammit!"
Captain Alang gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet, about to charge back into the fight.
A commanding voice rang out from behind.
"Stand down!"
Captain Alang froze and turned to look.
He saw Qiansha, clad in second-generation heavy armor, striding forward with a massive metal greatsword in hand.
"Sir!"
Alang respectfully fell back.
Qiansha cracked his neck, his eyes fixed on the leading Lord Level Blood Corpse Beast. A look of fanatical excitement spread across his face. ’Only a monster of this caliber is worthy of my personal attention.’
"ROAR~"
The Lord Level Blood Corpse Beast fixed its crimson eyes on Qiansha and let out a furious roar.
Watching this scene, the Pilates Streamer reported with tremendous excitement.
"Folks, Lord Qiansha is about to make his move! This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for!"
At that, Qiansha and the Lord Level Blood Corpse Beast charged ferociously at each other.
The many soldiers launched a fierce assault on the other Blood Breath Beasts.

「Uzika City.」
BOOM—
With a tremendous explosion, a General-level Blood Breath Butterfly plummeted from the sky like a broken kite. It crashed heavily onto the street, sending a massive shockwave outwards.
Qian Ying leaped down from a high-rise, landing gracefully on the street below.
"SCREECH~"
Its body covered in festering wounds, the General-level Blood Breath Butterfly struggled to rise.
Just then, tanks and spider-tanks moved into position, swiveling their turrets toward the General-level Blood Breath Butterfly and unleashing a barrage of shells.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The General-level Blood Breath Butterfly was instantly blown to bits.
Wei Sheng immediately led his troops onward, continuing their advance toward the City Lord’s Mansion. However, the moment the magnificent structure came into view in the distance...
A Lord Level Blood Butterfly King with a ten-meter wingspan emerged, leading a dark swarm of smaller Blood Breath Butterflies. They flew out like a plague of locusts, blotting out the sky as they descended upon Wei Sheng and his forces.
"Dammit! All units, concentrate your fire!"
Wei Sheng’s expression changed drastically as he barked the order.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Innumerable soldiers raised their weapons and fired frantically into the dark, descending swarm of Blood Breath Butterflies.
The Blood Breath Butterflies began to fall like autumn leaves.
Just then, the Blood Butterfly King flapped its enormous wings. With incredible speed, it broke through the rain of bullets and flew over the heads of Wei Sheng’s forces, scattering a cloud of red dust.
Wherever the red dust landed on tanks and soldiers, corrosive smoke immediately began to rise.
"AHH!"
In an instant, scores of soldiers were turned into human torches.
"Hold the line! No retreat! Maintain formation and return fire!"
Wei Sheng roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Seizing the opportunity, the swarms of Blood Breath Butterflies dove at the soldiers. The entire area instantly became a giant meat grinder.
Seeing this, Qian Ying immediately raised her mechanical bow, drew the string, and fired an arrow at the Blood Butterfly King.
WHOOSH!
The red arrow tore through the air, aimed straight for the Blood Butterfly King’s head.
The Blood Butterfly King turned, saw the incoming projectile, and simply opened its mouth to catch the red arrow.
BOOM!
The red arrow exploded.
But the Blood Butterfly King’s mouth was completely unscathed.
Qian Ying’s expression faltered at the sight, and she felt a sense of immense dread.
Then, the Blood Butterfly King flapped its wings, changed direction, and charged toward Qian Ying.
Qian Ying immediately turned and fled, firing arrow after arrow at the pursuing Blood Butterfly King.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Blood Butterfly King didn’t even bother to dodge, letting the arrows strike its body as it powerfully closed the distance to Qian Ying.
As it closed in, it opened its maw and spewed a wide cone of red gas at Qian Ying.
The cloud of red gas instantly enveloped Qian Ying, and then it ignited.
BOOM—
Qian Ying was sent flying by the blast, crashing heavily to the ground.
The entire area around her was flattened.
Gritting her teeth, Qian Ying struggled to push herself up from the ground.
Just then, a figure walked up to her.
Qian Ying instinctively looked up and spoke, her voice filled with guilt.
"My lord, I am so sorry. I was incompetent."
"It’s not your fault. You did very well. Leave the rest to me."
Qian Hai gently reached out and caressed Qian Ying’s cheek, then drew a gray Metal Blade.
At that moment, the Blood Butterfly King banked in the air, turned, and dove toward Qian Hai and the others once more.
Qian Hai shot forward to meet it at incredible speed.
....
「Center of Osmo City’s Inner City.」
Qian Luobing led a large contingent of troops, quickly arriving at the area outside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Adika and the others looked up, gazing at the City Lord’s Mansion before them.
