The Mastermind Revealed: Who's Scheming Against Whom?

Chapter 76 The Mastermind Revealed: Who's Scheming Against Whom?

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the scene in the distance, Chen Fan remained silent for a long time.

A sea of ​​fire stretched to the horizon...

The explosions continued incessantly.

This is the world of monsters.

This is war in the monster world!

Faced with the endless fire ants, Chen Fan felt like a lone boat in a raging flood, which could be torn to shreds at any moment!

In fact, he was far away and never actually faced the terrifying ant swarm!

If one were to be in the midst of that ant swarm, or to confront it head-on, what kind of shock and terror would that be?

The joy of breaking through to the third level of the first grade and raising Jade and the others to level 5...

Suddenly, the terrifying scene before my eyes completely dispelled all my worries.

A first-class, third-level expert should be considered very strong among a group of high school students, right?

A group of level 5 beast tamers should be enough to sweep through the senior year of the three academies, right?

But what's the use of dealing with such an ant swarm?

I can only be a spectator, cowering in a corner of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, silently clenching my fists!

What will happen if Donghai City fails to stop the ant swarm this time...?

The entire main city was crushed into dust?

Barren?

An indescribable anger and resentment rose in Chen Fan's heart.

But it's too weak...

With that kind of strength, they can't do anything in this situation!

Just then...

Suddenly, the roar of cannons erupted from behind!

"What's going on!"

Chen Fan was taken aback, and abruptly turned around, walking towards the edge of the cliff on the other side.

Isn't the opposite direction of the battlefield towards Donghai City?

Could it be that countless Skyfire Ants have already breached the defenses and begun their assault on East Sea City?

Standing on the cliff, looking out into the distance, Chen Fan could clearly see the dense swarms of fire ants below.

Although numerous, they are far less than the ant swarm in the plains to the east.

Moreover, there was no mushroom cloud like the one that appeared in the east direction when the explosion occurred, on the east side of Donghai City.

Judging from the direction of those beams of light, they are attacking the western area outside Donghai City!

"Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Fire Ant swarm came from the fourth secret realm in the east? Why is there a problem in the west too!"

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he eagerly opened WeChat.

In the group chat, many classmates tagged him.

His homeroom teachers, Li Sheng, Fang Qingqing, and Chu Xuan, also sent him individual messages to ask about his current situation.

When the live stream ended earlier, everyone saw a level 6 Skyfire Ant rush towards Chen Fan.

Everyone panicked because they were worried about Chen Fan's safety and realized that Chen Fan's class hadn't shown up for a long time.

Chen Fan sent a message directly: "1"

The entire group suddenly fell silent.

Shen Daodao's Alt Account 5: "It's popping up! It's popping up! It can still type, it's still alive!"

"I'm seriously impressed by you... You're the first enemy I've ever had who made me worry and live in constant fear!"

Chu Xuan: "I sent the Desert Wind Eagle to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain before, haven't they found you yet?"

Li Sheng: "You little brat, this time you're back, lock me up in solitary confinement for a month! Don't you dare leave the city again!"

Fang Qingqing: "Chen Fan, are you alright? Did you dodge those level 6 fire ants?"

The other students also got excited, asking Chen Fan if he was injured.

"I didn't dodge."

Chen Fan sent a message: "I killed it with a single move, Shinra Tensei."

Shen Daodao's Alt Account 5: "Keep bragging! Your so-called Shinra Tensei is nothing more than a Slime Storm! Even I couldn't handle that move, and you think you can kill a level 6 Skyfire Ant?"

"He wasn't bragging," Chu Xuan said. "In the video he posted before, there were cliffs all around. The only way to get rid of the level 6 Skyfire Ants was to use Emerald's 'Storm Tear' to sweep the Skyfire Ants off the cliff and kill them instantly."

Everyone: "..."

Chen Fan: "Chu Xuan, I suspect you've planted a surveillance camera on me!"

Everyone: "Holy crap, is that really true?"

Chu Xuan: "That's not right..."

Shen Daodao's Alt Account 5: "What's wrong? Didn't he just implicitly admit it?"

Chu Xuan: "Your move shouldn't be called 'Shinra Tensei'. Shinra Tensei pushes forward, or repels everything around you with yourself as the center. Emerald Storm rolls upwards."

Everyone: "..."

Chen Fan: "..."

Chu Xuan: "Be more careful when naming your child next time."

Chen Fan was furious. Was this the time to research skill names?

With a dark expression, he sent a message: "My grassland, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it. If I say it's Shinra Tensei, then it's Shinra Tensei. If you keep arguing with me, next time I'll say this move is called 'Super Giant Rasengan Shuriken'!"

Henry Chu: "..."

Chen Fan: "Teacher, why is there fighting in the western part of Donghai City as well? I saw beams of light attacking the west side of Donghai City from Mount Wanshou?"

"Could it be that the ant swarm has already surrounded Donghai City and begun its attack from the west?"

Li Sheng: "The problem is with the third secret realm northwest of Donghai City. Countless killer bees have crawled out of the third secret realm and are now rushing towards Donghai City."

"These are things you can't control..."

"Find a good place to hide, and whatever you do, don't come out!"

"If you're hungry, eat fire ant meat... You can't eat iron-eating black ant meat, but fire ant meat is edible! That stuff tastes much better than lobster meat!"

The students, who had just been quiet for a while, started making a ruckus again.

The third secret realm?

Countless killer bees?

Why are two different secret realms experiencing problems simultaneously?

Chen Fan raised his head and glanced in the direction of Donghai City.

The continuous roar from that direction was not much smaller than that from the east of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The battle is fierce...

What exactly happened?

Chen Fan opened Baidu and searched for the Third Secret Realm and the Fourth Secret Realm.

This search made him even more uneasy...

More than two thousand years ago, cracks began to appear in the sky above Earth.

Countless monsters surged out of the cracks, bringing terrible disaster to the world.

But not every crack is called a "secret realm".

Areas that humans have never entered, or that are inaccessible due to space storms, or that have not been explored to more than 30% of their original depth, are called "forbidden zones".

Only when humans can enter and explore more than 30% of the cracks can it be called a "secret realm".

Once it is called a "secret realm", it means that this crack is in a safe and controllable state for a short period of time.

But what's happening now isn't the "forbidden area," but the "secret realm"!

The fourth secret realm in the east, the third secret realm in the west...

Why did the ant swarm and the bee swarm appear at the same time and both head towards Donghai City when the two secret realms are clearly very far apart?

Chen Fan closed Baidu.

Because Master Zhang Hai called.

After answering the phone, Chen Fan learned that Bai Rugo had gone to the Animal Breeders Association to look for him, but after failing to find him, she contacted her homeroom teacher, Li Sheng.

After learning from Li Sheng that Chen Fan was trapped in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Bai Rugo panicked instantly.

She didn't dare to go to her father, but went directly to her Grand Tutor Uncle Zhang Hai.

Zhang Hai was also terrified and immediately summoned a flying beast to personally come to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to pick up Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was touched and quickly reassured his master, "Master, don't worry, this place is very safe, and I even have two level 5 beast tamers with me..."

"I have ways to protect myself."

It was quite a struggle to persuade Zhang Hai to give up.

On the eastern battlefield, something seems to have changed again!

Chen Fan quickly returned to the cliff at the cave entrance.

High above, fighter jets, engulfed in flames, were swooping down towards the ant swarm!

"What?!"

Chen Fan was taken aback.

Aren't fire ants usually attacked by breathing fire and using rockets?

How could they shoot down a fighter jet at that altitude?

What level of fire ant would it take to do that?

In the dim light, Chen Fan saw many small black dots ejected from the burning fighter jet and then deploy their parachutes one after another.

Just then...

Like laser cannons, beams of fire shot out from the ant swarm, heading straight for the pilots in the air!

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a somewhat aged, angry shout rang out from the void.

A giant, phantom hand appeared out of thin air, then swiftly scooped up all the pilots who had ejected from the fighter jets, and then pulled them back in!

"Rage!"

A harsh, metallic sound rang out.

Behind the ant swarm, a fiery red "mountain" slowly rose up!

Fire ants as large as mountains...

Chen Fan was shocked!

Even from this distance, he could still feel that terrifying sense of oppression!

What level of fire ant is this?

Just by looking at its size, it could probably crush the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!

"snort!"

Suddenly, a cold snort came from the void.

Suddenly, a sword light appeared, traversing the sky, and fell towards the mountain-like fire ants!

The mountain-like fire ant was not to be outdone. Its two huge pincers were raised high with a whistling sound, trying to take the sword head-on!

No sooner said than done...

"boom!"

The incomparably sharp sword light severed one of the Mountain Fire Ant's pincers, and with its remaining force, it landed on the latter's body!

The mountain fire ant let out a miserable cry, its huge body flying backward before crashing to the ground and rolling repeatedly, crushing countless fire ants in the process.

The fierce and domineering sword strike, after landing on the ground, directly cut a long canyon into the plain area densely covered with fire ants!

Countless fire ants tumbled down and fell into the canyon.

At the edge of the canyon, sword intent surged, continuously tearing the fire ants to shreds!

"good!"

Chen Fan clenched his fist and roared.

That's too strong...

Really too strong!

One sword strike, and a canyon is formed!

This single sword strike felt even more destructive than the combined barrage of cannon fire from before!

In the air, fighter jets pierced through the sky from the direction of Donghai City.

Under Chen Fan's watchful gaze, the fighter jets that followed began pouring black oil onto the ant swarm below.

The black oil that fell was immediately ignited by the flames spewed by the fire ants themselves!

Flames swept across the sky in all directions!

At this moment, two illusory figures appeared out of thin air, floating in the air, staring at the mountain-like fire ants from the left and right!

Although it was struck by a sword, the mountain-sized fire ant did not die!

The menacing aura emanating from him was even stronger than before he was injured!

"snort!"

A soft hum echoed from the void, and a summoning array appeared beneath the two illusory figures.

Four beasts, much smaller than the mountain-sized fire ants, quickly crawled out of the magic array.

One of them was a Titan Ape, which was forty meters tall and covered in scales!

The Titan Ape and the other three beasts had just climbed out of the summoning circle in mid-air when they leaped directly to the ground!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The four beasts fell from mid-air, instantly crushing many fire ants and creating four large craters in the ground!

"roar!"

The four beasts roared in unison.

The terrifying energy gathered into a storm, tearing thousands of fire ants to shreds with overwhelming force!

"That's incredible..."

Chen Fan was speechless.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see the attribute panels of those beasts.

But just that one roar gave off an aura of power that could shatter mountains and rivers... These four beasts must be some of the strongest beasts in Donghai City, right?!

The shelling has stopped...

One fighter jet after another continues to spill black oil.

The four beasts split up, bypassing the area where the fighter jets were spilling black oil, and charged forward.

Wherever the tamed beasts passed, a long passage was formed!

There are no fire ants at all; they can't hold them off for even a moment!

Especially the Titan Ape, dragging two huge hammers, didn't even swing them, just dragged them across the ground, just like a road roller, directly crushing countless fire ants into dust!

The ant swarm that originally covered the entire plain now had countless gaps, resembling a scaly head.

"Rage!"

The mountain-like fire ants became even angrier.

Flames burst into flames all around it, shooting into the sky!

"Stubborn to the end!"

The figure in the void roared, "My East Sea City and your ant race have always kept to ourselves. Since you insist on starting a war, then I will rid you of this scourge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in the figure's hand suddenly shone brightly, like a blinding sun!

The longsword rose slowly, but before you could even blink, it had already fallen with a flash of light...

"laugh!"

A sword light that traversed the sky cleaved through the mountain-like fire ants!

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A cloud of black mist appeared out of nowhere behind the swordsman, enveloping him like a ghost!

"Old Qin!"

Another powerful figure in the void was shocked and roared, wanting to rush over to help.

But as soon as that powerful figure made a move, a cloud of black mist blocked his way!

"Hehehehe..."

From within the black mist shrouding the sword-wielding powerhouse, eerie laughter echoed: "Old man, once you're eliminated, East Sea City will be mine!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed in surprise, "You old geezer..."
