Chapter 260 – Bore Through
“Looks like I have caused them to appear earlier.”
The Gemini Kings would only appear around the middle period of the Post-Apocalyptic Era, but Yang Tian’s action had caused them to appear in the early period of the Post-Apocalyptic Era instead.
However, Yang Tian did not mind as it resulted in having the Gemini Kings owing him a favor.
Yang Tian took out two storage rings and put it on for them. Within the rings were food for them, it would allow them to start their new lives the moment they woke up.
When the first light broke through the horizon, Yang Tian’s group continued their journey.
They traveled on the tattered highway.
The Insect Wave of F City was not as terrifying as the one in A City; at least F City had not been targeted by an Insect King-level creature. Although the situation was still tough, it was still much better.
After traveling for three hours, Yang Tian’s group arrived at a petrol station along the highway. The petrol station had experienced an explosion that was caused by the gas tanks. Yang Tian could see rotting human and insect remains within the blast zone.
“There are people inside.” Lina discovered living humans within the petrol station.
“Ignore them, we will continue moving.”
Yang Tian did not plan to bother himself with these people. Just as the group took a few steps, a voice reached them:
“Young Brother, a giant monster appeared in F City, I recommend that you don’t go there.”
Yang Tian turned his head and saw an old man. His companion was pulling at his sleeves, as though to tell him not to be a busybody.
“Thank you.”
Even with that reminder, Yang Tian would still head for F City. However, to encounter a person who would still consider the well-being of others was rare, even more so when that old man was only an ordinary human.
Yang Tian was in a pretty good mood and tossed a piece of jerky to the old man.
The old man was shocked at the sudden appearance of food, even his companion was surprised. However, Yang Tian did not take note of that as he was already thinking about the monster that the old man mentioned.
F City’s monster? Will it be a problem when there’s the Sky Hegemon Blade Sage?
Yang Tian increased their traveling speed; he wanted to reach F City fast and see what had happened.
The Benevolence Land and Qin Land should be currently fighting against the invasion of otherworld creatures; the two parties were considered allies in a sense, were they unable to resolve it as well? Even against an Insect King, they should have the ability to launch a counterattack.
After increasing their speed, they arrived within the city area of F City, but a powerful yet familiar energy stopped Yang Tian in his tracks.
“Another Undead Energy?”
This was certainly not the energy of a Necromancer as the energy possessed high valiance and slaughter. Being able to detect from so far away also shows that the owner of the energy did not think of concealing itself.
Only when he entered F City did Yang Tian discover that the matter was not as simple as he had thought.
Every human within Benevolence Land had retreated to the borders of the city, turning the city in the center into a forbidden zone. No human could be found in there, one could even say that no human dared to venture in.
When Yang Tian entered F City, he got the Tamed Beasts to remain outside; it was the reason why the humans hiding in the borders did not think too much about Yang Tian after giving him a glance. There was only one color in their eyes, grey. The despair towards life, the only thing they could do now was to wait for death.
Yang Tian swept his gaze through this group of people and saw some familiar figures. They were students from Fortune Boat University, just that they were not with Guan Ren Zuo and was here for some reason.
Yang Tian approached them, when the students noticed that someone was standing in front of them, they lifted their heads to take a look.
“Yang Tian, why are you here?”
Their voices were slightly agitated while their grey eyes suddenly turned excited.
Yang Tian did not know how to react, he was not really in good terms with Fortune Boat University, so why did they look at him like that?
“Am I related to you guys?”
“Yes, we are, of course, we are related. Wait a moment, I will inform the principal.”
Some of the students quickly left, leaving behind one to watch over Yang Tian, worried that he would escape.
The humans nearby were confused when they saw the excited reactions of the students, but they soon lowered their heads and ignoring them again.
A while later, Guan Ren Zuo came running.
“Yang Tian, you finally appeared.”
“Oh? Looks like you are looking for me urgently?”
“Let us talk in my tent!”
Eight two-meters tall tents have been constructed along the borders of F City, one of them belonged to Guan Ren Zuo.
Yang Tian held Lina’s hand while the two puppets followed behind him as they entered the Guan Ren Zuo’s tent. Lee Si Kai and Guan Qing Xue were also inside the tent.
When the two saw Yang Tian, they were also shocked, no wonder Guan Ren Zuo was so excited earlier.
“Tell me what is it that you want.”
Yang Tian did not believe that Guan Ren Zuo would look for him for no reason as there were still some cracks between the relations of both parties.
“I believe that you know about F City being attacked by insects?”
“Yes, I believe you guys should have no problems handling the Insect Wave, right?”
“That’s right. We could have handled the Insect Wave, but we did not only encounter the Insect Wave.”
Guan Ren Zuo’s expression turned ugly when he replied, but he continued narrating:
“A huge humanoid monster descended on F City, the Undead Energy it emits is much stronger than common Undead Creatures, but it did not seem to be from the Abyss as well. No matter what creature approaches it, they would all be attacked by him. He is now in the center of F City, we have been forced out that area.”
“What happened to Sky Hegemon Blade Sage?”
“He… got seriously injured, his master had brought many people to defend Thirty-Six Paradise City, but they are only defending themselves and will not provide us with any support. Moreover, the monster seems to know that Thirty-Six Paradise City is a threat, so he did not attack Thirty-Six Paradise City. The Zombies of Qin Land have also been attacked by him, but they were undoubtedly in a much better state than us.”
Guan Ren Zuo felt extremely helpless at this point; although he was now a Rank 3 Runemaster, his Rank 3 Runes were unable to deliver any powerful effects against that monster.
Guan Qing Xue and Lee Si Kai have both reached Mid Rank 3, but they were like ants in front of that monster.
Guan Ren Zuo was running out of solutions and wanted to go to the Sky Halberd Domain to seek Yang Tian’s help; however, the Sky Halberd Domain has already developed a basic model, becoming much more difficult for them to enter the domain.
