Qin Shou narrowed his eyes, "Meteorite? Is it the one that fell here the day before yesterday?"
"That’s right, we swapped out that meteorite and hid it in the mountain base for research."
"A meteorite, that’s all? What is there to research?"
"When this meteorite first fell, it unleashed a swarm of bloodsucking bats. Those Beast Ability Masters injured by the bats would experience genetic collapse within their bodies.
As for cultivators who haven’t integrated with monster genes, they’d transform into the legendary vampires—undying, unaging, and extremely difficult to kill. That’s why we decided to get involved with this meteorite."
"Undying and unaging..."
Qin Shou shook his head. No such thing could be that good.
He turned to Bruce, sneering coldly, "Such audacity! Beast Cultivation Main City had already stated they’d send someone to retrieve the meteorite, yet the Yala Group still dared to meddle with it.
If something goes wrong this time, your Yala Group might be finished."
Bruce’s face darkened, "I’m just a small figure; how could I control the decisions made at the top?
If I had known that besides those bats, there was such a terrifying sealed monster within the meteorite, even with a hundred times the courage, the group wouldn’t have dared."
Qin Shou stood up and gazed toward the gigantic pit discovered at the base.
The meteorite sealing the monster turned out to be a space device!
"Alright, you can leave now."
"Thank you for saving my life, Qin Shou. I—Bruce honestly don’t know how to repay—"
"No need. I’m not the type who expects repayment for doing favors."
"Yes, yes, Qin Shou wouldn’t be such a person. But could you return my Space Wristwatch at least?"
"What Space Wristwatch? Didn’t see it."
"You what? If you don’t want to leave, then don’t."
"Leaving! Leaving! Qin Shou, don’t get angry..."
Ugh, ugh, Bruce is bankrupt now.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and after sending Bruce away, Qin Shou leapt to the edge of the gigantic pit.
Following the traces in the pit, he finally found an irregular meteorite about one meter in diameter, faintly radiating an amber light.
Qin Shou stroked his chin, his expression contemplative.
The meteorite fell to Earth two days ago, which means the giant bat monster had spent a full two days breaking through the meteor space.
You could imagine how sturdy the meteor space’s barriers were.
And those somewhat weaker bloodsucking bats probably managed to escape the meteor space only when the giant bat was breaking through its barriers.
This meteorite... well, it can barely be considered a good find.
As for that terrifying bat monster, it was already flying toward Yara City, likely with the intention of turning all humans there into vampires and monsters.
Are extraterrestrial monsters always this terrifying?
A chill ran through Qin Shou’s heart.
At that moment, the communicator rang. Qin Shou raised an eyebrow—finally, there was a signal.
"Respected master, due to severe signal interference, we couldn’t contact you sooner. Please..."
In the virtual display, Galatron slightly bowed. Though its mechanical synthesized voice was cold, in this moment, Qin Shou found it incredibly comforting.
At least he wasn’t fighting alone anymore.
Before Galatron could finish speaking, Qin Shou interrupted impatiently, "Quickly come here and meet up with me. Oh, and now help me locate the greedy snake and the others."
"Please rest assured, respected master. Their bio-magnetic field fluctuations have already been included in my database. I can easily locate them."
Just as Qin Shou wanted to say more, the communicator buzzed again—it was a video call from Leng Wanbai.
"Xiao Bai, what’s wrong?"
"It’s bad! The eerie black cloud is about to engulf Yara City. We must leave... leave... ve... ve..."
The image warped and the transmission cut off.
Qin Shou furrowed his brows tightly, "Galatron, I’m heading to Yara City first. You follow after.
Also, don’t bother with Hillbagon; you can’t handle him. I’ll deal with him later." Google seaʀᴄh novel✦fire.net
With that said, he closed the communicator. The Emperor Battle Dragon roared out, carrying Qin Shou as it soared toward Yara City.
