"Quick, dodge!!!"
A man with orange-yellow hair on the roadside suddenly shouted.
This person was quite bold; seeing Mu Ningxue closest to him, he stepped on Wind Track and lunged over, intending to push Mu Ningxue away.
Suddenly, an invisible force knocked him to the ground.
Meanwhile, Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu had arrived beside Lin Chen.
The stone pillar was flying extremely fast and had already landed in front of their group, seemingly about to hit someone.
Ai Jiangtu only managed to control the flying stone pillar in mid-air, preventing it from moving forward even an inch.
Ai Jiangtu's pupils glowed with silver light, locking onto the stone pillar. As his gaze slowly shifted downwards, the stone pillar also "landed" gently on the ground in a peculiar manner.
"This… Space… Space Element magic!" The orange-yellow-haired man on the roadside looked astonished, his eyes filled with excitement and thrill.
With the crisis averted, the orange-haired man said, "You scared me to death! I thought you guys were going to be hit by that pillar!"
The orange-haired man looked at Mu Ningxue not far away, then noticed Lin Chen, her protector, beside her, and an awkward smile appeared on his face. Clearly, his intervention had been unnecessary!
Mu Ningxue was beautiful, but she attracted too much attention. Everyone could see that the orange-haired man's attempt to save them was entirely for Mu Ningxue's sake.
Seeing that no one spoke, the orange-haired man awkwardly said, "My name is Hirose. It's a pleasure to meet you all…"
"Nobody wants to meet you!" Zhao Manyan said, highly displeased. Where did this guy come from? That shout earlier scared him half to death. It was just a pillar flying over, what's the big deal!
"How can a pillar fly in… Holy crap! Look ahead, everyone!" Jiang Yu was about to ask when a terrifying scene immediately appeared on the street ahead!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over, only to see sea monsters with dark blue skin. They had appeared on the street about a hundred meters ahead. Among them, one sea monster's terrifying head, with its gill-like fins, was even taller than the rooftops, like a devil descending upon human dwellings, looking down upon these small humans, ready to be slaughtered!
"Oh my god, in broad daylight…"
"Little Japan's city security is truly out of this World. One, two, there are two of them, both over ten meters tall!"
"What kind of crappy fortress is this, letting sea monsters just break in!!!" Zhao Manyan cursed loudly.
Hearing their curses, Mochizuki Chizuru said unhappily, "East Sea City fortress is inherently a battlefield. The sea monsters here appear directly. If you're not strong enough, coming here is just courting death!"
"Slap…"
As soon as Mochizuki Chizuru finished speaking, Lin Chen slapped her perky butt.
"Mmm~~~"
Mochizuki Chizuru let out a muffled groan, her fair face instantly turning crimson. She glared at Lin Chen with a resentful look, her previous arrogant demeanor completely gone!
Mochizuru Chizuru's words did not attract much attention. The surroundings had become chaotic, and no one was paying attention to their actions.
Just then, a message echoed in the sky, announced in the World language!
"Attention all personnel, sea monsters have appeared in District 19. Non-combat personnel, please evacuate immediately or take shelter in a refuge!"
"Attention all personnel, sea monsters have appeared in District 19. Preliminary estimates indicate two Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beasts, Commander-level strength. Combat personnel, please proceed immediately to eliminate them!"
The voice lingered in the sky for a long time, clearly audible to everyone.
Initially, people on the street were orderly despite the sudden situation, but after the announcement of two Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beasts, the pedestrians completely panicked!
"They're Commander-level! Run, everyone, run!"
"This way, the refuge is this way!" The orange-haired man from earlier seemed to be a warm-hearted person and quickly guided those who didn't know where to run!
On the National Government Team side, everyone came to their senses and exchanged glances. Ai Jiangtu, with his skill and courage, said to everyone, "Let's go stop them. Otherwise, Commander-level creatures will cause a lot of casualties!"
"I think we should reconsider. After all, there are two Commander-level ones…" Jiang Yu said.
"Then let's observe first!" Ai Jiangtu thought carefully. Indeed, there was no need to take such a risk with the team. Not only were many of them Intermediate Mages, but even at the Advanced level, if they couldn't skillfully use Advanced magic constellations, they would still be instantly killed by Commander-level creatures!
As the captain, he would be held accountable for any mishap!
What the others didn't know was that Ai Jiangtu had this idea not only because of his skill and courage but also because Lin Chen and Mu Ningxue were in the team.
Recalling Mu Ningxue's astonishing sword strike earlier, Ai Jiangtu still marveled at it even now.
The Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beast has a thick upper body covered in scales that gleam with a metallic chill. At the connection points of each scale, sharp barbs grow, especially on its four thick, hammer-like arms, which are covered in barbs. If struck by it, a body would likely be impaled!
Their lower body is shrimp-shaped, covered in blue, gem-like shimmering armor. A shrimp's legs are typically thin like whiskers, but the Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beast's legs are sharp and long, leaning more towards the lower body of a giant praying mantis…
Originally, shrimp are very gentle creatures, but the Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beast's shrimp body exudes a sharp and fierce sensation. Even without their bulky, barbed pincers, their sharp legs can pierce through anything, full of aggressiveness and danger!
Clearly, these creatures were an extremely dangerous presence in East Coast City. Alarms blared continuously. Initially, those who thought it was just minor sea monster harassment realized that death was approaching and began frantically fleeing to the refuges.
However, the target of these two sea monsters was not the crowd. They only killed a few people; their true targets were the buildings!
The two Blue Valley Ferocious Departure Beasts were also extremely volatile. They each grabbed a stone building, and with brute force, pulled it out of the ground, then lifted it over their heads!
Unfortunately, the direction they threw the stone building was precisely where the National Government Team was. Seeing the situation was dire, Ai Jiangtu and Mochizuki Chizuru immediately struck like lightning!
Both acted simultaneously, but the effect was not ideal; they failed to control it!
Fortunately, the National Government Team collectively cast defensive magic. Holy Shield - Painted Wall and Rock Barrier - Mountain Screen, two Intermediate Mage skills capable of wide-range defense, immediately appeared before everyone.
They watched as the gray and white building shattered into pieces against the golden light wall of Holy Shield - Painted Wall, and then collapsed with a roar in front of Rock Barrier - Mountain Screen!
