Yu Shusheng exclaimed in shock, "Be careful, that’s the Blood Demon Locust! Its mist can make your blood boil!"
After speaking, he roared loudly. A Space Gate opened, and a massive flower bud emerged from it, slowly blooming.
As the petals of the Flower God unfolded, a seven-colored smoke spread out like a swirling veil, attempting to envelop the blood-red mist and draw it into the Flower God Space.
The Blood Demon Locust spotted the Flower God and let out an enraged roar. Its colossal blood-red fist shot upwards, delivering a powerful uppercut that sent the equally large Flower God flying.
Even as a severely injured Nightmare-level Monster, it was far beyond what the horror-level nine-star Flower God could contend with.
The Flower God crashed to the ground. Despite Yu Shusheng’s intense heartache, he didn’t forget to shout at the other two.
"Old Zuo, Old Qiao, don’t let this Blood Demon Locust hurt anyone!"
Qiao Jianshan controlled a specially-designed humanoid mecha, soaring high into the air. The mecha shifted form into a massive drill, hurtling down toward the Blood Demon Locust.
Meanwhile, Zuo Dahong’s battle armor ignited in roaring flames. Nine fiery fox tails shot skyward, transforming into giant whips that struck at the Blood Demon Locust.
Their combined attack hit the massive body of the Blood Demon Locust, causing it to retreat just a step. Almost immediately, blood-red tree branches erupted from its fingertips, firmly ensnaring Qiao Jianshan’s mecha.
The red branches intensified their force, and the mecha’s steel body began emitting the sound of unbearable strain. Sparks and black smoke swallowed up the mecha entirely.
The two were struck with panic.
At that very moment, hundreds of mechas thundered down from the skies, led by an enormous golden turtle mecha.
"It’s Fang Datong from Fengshen Group!" Yu Shusheng exclaimed in relief.
"Apologies for being late, watch me unleash the Golden Wind Fire Wheel!"
Inside the cockpit, Fang Datong gritted his teeth, controlling his mecha to form an intensely dazzling and violent Wind Fire Wheel that roared toward the Blood Demon Locust.
Golden energy swept across the land as the Blood Demon Locust roared furiously, driven back by the immense impact. The shattered mecha it held fell to the ground.
Zuo Dahong’s fiery fox tails lashed behind him, piercing through the mecha’s cockpit to extract the severely injured, blood-covered Qiao Jianshan.
"How’s it? Did you survive?" Zuo Dahong asked urgently.
Though Qiao Jianshan’s face was smeared with blood, he still managed to roll his eyes.
"Cough, cough... Won’t die yet. If I do, it won’t be behind you."
"Good... Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"I think you meant..."
Yu Shusheng ran over to the two of them, seeing their antics, and slapped each of them hard.
"Do you know what time it is? Save the arguing for later!"
At that moment, the mecha masters brought by Fang Datong unleashed a deluge of energy, drowning the Blood Demon Locust.
Fang Datong approached Yu Shusheng, his brows furrowed.
"What’s going on? Why hasn’t the Federation Main City sent reinforcements yet?"
Yu Shusheng’s expression turned bitter, "Sigh, it’s a long story. We can only wait for Qin Shou’s news."
"Qin Shou? Little Treasure’s friend?"
"Him? What’s he good for? What we need is the Unbreakable Realm experts from Beast Cultivation Main City to come to West City—this is..."
Before Fang Datong could finish his sentence, an earth-shaking dragon roar came from the direction of the West City Transfer Room.
Yu Shusheng’s expression brightened. "It’s his Godzilla Beast! Qin Shou has finally arrived!"
Instantly, the skies over West City darkened as massive clouds gathered. Golden lightning flashed amidst them, and thunder rocked the city, accompanied by intermittent dragon roars.
As the thunderclouds approached the battlefield, the overwhelming thunderclaps shook everyone’s spirits, leaving them horrified.
The thunder ran rampant, the clouds gradually morphing into a monstrous Thunder Vortex. Three golden dragon heads slowly emerged, resembling the legendary Cosmic Monster descending upon them, filling their hearts with dread.
"That’s the Cosmic Monster Godzilla... And it’s that kid’s beast?" Fang Datong said in disbelief.
Yu Shusheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It should be Qin Shou’s beast. I didn’t expect it to have grown this enormous."
Recovering from his shock, Zuo Dahong suddenly shook his head.
"What’s this kid playing at? Wasting his beast’s energy on special effects, are you kidding me?"
He soon understood why these "effects" were so "expensive."
As the Greedy Snake dove down from the thunderclouds, its immense presence drew the Blood Demon Locust’s attention.
The locust raised its fists to the sky, roaring defiantly, constantly provoking the Greedy Snake.
As expected, the Greedy Snake’s three dragon heads fired blinding golden energy beams, causing explosions across the locust’s bloodroot-formed body.
The Blood Demon Locust patted its unscathed body and shot blood-red branches skyward. The branches tore through the air, emitting sharp bursts as they tried to engulf the Greedy Snake.
As the Greedy Snake roared, a massive Space Gate opened beneath the Blood Demon Locust’s feet. A giant, hairy black hand reached out and grabbed the locust’s right leg.
The "special effects" had achieved their purpose: misdirection, preventing the locust’s escape underground!
The titan-like roar shook West City.
The Blood Demon Locust realized something was wrong—too late.
A 50-meter-tall black gorilla burst from the ground, clutching the locust’s legs. Its terrifying strength uprooted the locust’s blood-rooted foundation.
Sensing the Titan-like aura emanating from the gorilla, the locust shrieked in panic, attempting escape, but couldn’t break free from the gorilla’s vice-like grip.
Little Vajra roared triumphantly, its fangs bared with feral aggression, muscles bulging as it tore with both hands.
The locust let out a blood-curdling scream as half of its body was ripped away, spilling eerie blood-red liquid across the ground.
The blood began to boil, releasing mist that enveloped Little Vajra completely.
Yet Little Vajra felt no discomfort. Dropping the locust’s dried-up legs, it grabbed the locust’s head and ferociously bit down.
As the Blood Demon Locust grew weaker, its body turned to dry, crumbling fragments of tree bark.
In mere seconds, the terrifying Nightmare-level Monster was defeated before everyone’s stunned eyes.
The crowd watched, their eyes wide, disbelieving, as if this had all been a dream...
"Is this gorilla a Black Ape Beast?"
"Impossible, how could a Black Ape Beast evolve to Nightmare Level?"
"Then... what type of beast is this? Don’t tell me it’s King Kong..."
The speaker faltered, his heart trembling. The rightful source is novel[f]ire.net
"Could it... Could it really be a Titan Giant Beast..."
Meanwhile, Yu Shusheng and the others snapped out of their daze, instantly associating the creature with King Kong.
Aside from the Titan Giant Beast King Kong, they couldn’t think of another Earth-based black ape monster capable of effortlessly overpowering monsters of the same level.
As the crowd’s thoughts ran wild, the ground rumbled faintly as the beast took two steps forward, squatted down, and extended a gigantic hand to a youth amidst the rubble.
"It really is Qin Shou!" Yu Shusheng exclaimed. Was this King Kong his beast?
How was that possible?
Qin Shou looked up at Little Vajra’s greedy grin, scratching his head as he pulled out a pile of Earth Core Energy Crystals to hand over.
Little Vajra eagerly devoured them, like a child with candy, then continued to adoringly gaze at Qin Shou.
Frustrated, Qin Shou, his forehead creased with black lines, opened a Space Gate.
"That’s all for now—one appearance, one thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals. No more, no less."
Little Vajra looked dejected as it hunched over and walked into the Space Gate like a heartbroken teenage boy...
Qin Shou hadn’t bothered to keep his words private, allowing them to reach the ears of those nearby.
Yu Shusheng and the others exchanged awkward glances, speechless.
No one had expected this: a Nightmare-level monster that couldn’t be killed with the full might of West City had ultimately been taken down effortlessly by a hired hand—for the price of a thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals.
This world truly defied imagination.
Earth Core Energy Crystals—do I have some too!
