Chapter 21

First Blood Leech Queen, Location Teacher

As the news anchor's explanation came over the loudspeaker...

The footage on the large screen inside the martial arts training room switched from the studio to an aerial view of the scene.

A massive, chaotic, and twisted fissure was expanding, emitting a thunderous roar.

Beneath this rift, mythical creatures filled with blood and darkness constantly emerge.

The most numerous of them were humanoid creatures with bloodstains and calluses covering their entire bodies, white bone spurs growing at their joints, and eerie green phosphorescent flames flickering in their eye sockets, moving as slowly as zombies.

The aerial footage thoughtfully includes the creature's name, level, and abilities.

[Virus Corpse Demon (Servant Level): Spreads an infectious blood virus, moves slowly, but will suddenly leap and pounce when approached, attacking with bone spikes and gnawing.]

Because of the sheer number of these virus-infected zombies, they appear from afar like a black, undulating tide, creating a visually striking effect.

However, neither Li Xijun nor the other people from Bocheng showed any fear when they saw it; instead, they had a feeling of "It's you again."

the reason is simple,

In the early stages of the Great Cataclysm, the creatures of this mythical world were the first to invade and wreak havoc on the continent.

The mythical rift in the eastern part of Bo City happens to connect to this world.

Whenever the rift fluctuates, it is always the weakest of the mythical creatures that emerges.

Furthermore, despite their large numbers, their combat strength is only comparable to that of apprentice-level high school students who have only cultivated for a few years.

Therefore, this virus zombie is a very familiar old friend to the people of Bo City. When elementary school students visit the Cataclysm History Museum, students from almost every province will see its specimen.

However, following this sea of ​​corpses were monsters with skinless, dark red muscles covered with pulsating blood vessels, tongues that had evolved into four barbed tentacles, and cross-shaped mouthparts splitting open on the back of their heads, resembling lickers in their overall appearance.

[Abyssal Blood Predator (Wrathful Soldier Level): Its movement speed rivals that of a Transcendent Warrior; its tongue and tentacles can pierce steel; its attack speed is extremely fast; it climbs silently; and its hearing is exceptionally sensitive.]

This is a mythical creature that can rival a Transcendent Warrior. Although it no longer has the ability to infect with viruses, it has gained terrifying speed and hunting ability in return.

Finally, a few creatures emerged, but they were much smaller in number. They were enormous, like mountains of flesh, inlaid with hundreds of fragments of tombstones and massive pieces of flesh. Their left arm had mutated into a giant tombstone shield, and their right arm was a trident-shaped bone blade split from the elbow. Their aura was terrifying.

[Tombstone Flesh Mountain (General Level): Contains a large amount of flesh and blood, regenerates extremely quickly, and possesses strength exceeding most Intent Realm martial artists. Its movements are quite slow compared to other martial artists of the same realm, making it difficult for them to kill. Laser weapons are recommended.]

Up to this point, Li Xijun didn't feel nervous at all, nor did Zhang Haifeng, who was standing next to her.

Most people in Bocheng also felt a sense of relaxation while watching the live stream on their phones.

After all, these beings can be killed with electromagnetic and laser weapons. Although there are many of them, they are not really a big deal.

Until the abnormal crimson color in the sky above the rift grew thicker and thicker, eventually coalescing into a monster the size of a small mountain, with countless distorted flesh and blood, and melting female outlines constantly emerging from its head, arms, and toes.

However, her head was not that of a beautiful woman, but rather a mouth that opened and closed, with countless tentacles on it, each tipped with a human face. Her lower body was covered by a blood-red ocean of densely packed, blood-red leeches.

The moment she appeared, the entire area within a radius of over fifty miles changed color completely!

All the trees outside the city withered instantly, and the humans and wild animals outside the city were all dried up, like mummified corpses.

Even the once fertile land is cracking inch by inch, as if it were a natural disaster!

An endless crimson expanse filled the sky and the earth, seemingly staining everything in its bloody hue, blotting out the sun, as if the most terrifying natural disaster had struck.

The continuously fired electromagnetic guns and lasers were instantly corroded into a pool of molten iron.

All the technological weapons became completely ineffective at the sound of her soft hissing.

The outer walls of the city, made of new high-grade alloys, were torn to shreds like paper.

Even through the screen, Li Xijun could feel the overwhelming pressure and despair.

Zhang Haifeng, who was as strong as a black bear and possessed the strength of the Intent Realm beside him, also gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words with a solemn expression:

"Outdoor shooting!"

At the same time, everyone watching the live stream suddenly changed color, and even the female host, who was speaking off-screen, began to tremble.

"In case of emergency, the security alert level has been raised from Level 1 to Level 2. All citizens of Bocheng are advised to pay attention to safety."

"Next, I will introduce the source of this Level 2 alert: the Commander-level mythical creature, the [Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen]."

"The Thousand-Headed Blood Leech Queen, a commander-level warrior, possesses strength, speed, and the ability to manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth far surpasses that of other martial artists of the same realm."

"It possesses an immortality that surpasses its current level; as long as one blood leech survives, it cannot be completely killed."

"Possesses extremely strong mental pollution capabilities, capable of releasing mental shocks that devour and assimilate the vast majority of flesh and blood creatures."

"Possessing a pseudo-domain, the attack power that draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surpasses that of an Outer Realm martial artist using an Outer Realm killing move."

"All martial artists in the outdoor scene are requested to immediately leave Bocheng East High-Speed ​​Railway Station."

"It is recommended that at least five outdoor martial artists engage in a coordinated attack."

Generally speaking, a commander-level mythical creature is comparable to an outer-world martial artist.

However, it is obvious that mythical creatures of this level are generally stronger than most martial artists from the outer realms.

Especially those with pseudo-domain leadership can often suppress the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles, greatly reducing the power of the outer realm martial artist's killing moves that draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

While such an existence might not be described as destroying a city,

But like an earthquake or tornado that kept moving toward the city in the old days, it was terrifying.

This mythical creature brings a sense of crisis and urgency, and even though there are enough powerful beings in the outside world to solve the problem, one cannot help but feel fear from the bottom of one's heart.

Even Li Xijun tensed up for a moment and subconsciously looked at his Great Luo Mark.

Oh, so you can travel to other worlds and escape? That's fine then.

For some reason, he suddenly lost his sense of urgency and was already thinking about what kind of mixed-origin meal he would like to eat tonight.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Zhang Haifeng, who had just been extremely tense, seemed to relax immediately after seeing the screen switch.

"Several high school principals from the city went today, as did the director of the epidemic prevention and control bureau and the mayor."

"and..........."

Zhang Haifeng looked at the news footage, which still showed a high-speed train with a sign that read, "Welcome all teachers to visit our city's high schools for guidance."

Then, sure enough, several people dressed in ancient style and carrying swords stepped out of the car.

He grinned, unable to hold back his laughter.

"The Queen of a Thousand-Headed Leeches who escaped this time is just too unlucky."

Li Xijun, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, but then realized that because of the "Ten Years to Cultivate People" training program, several powerful outdoor experts would be coming to Bocheng High School as mentors.

In other words, there are nearly ten exterior shots at this high-speed rail station in the suburbs near the eastern wall of Bocheng.

this..........

Li Xijun, who had been raised to be extremely suspicious by Da A, did not find the coincidence or funny like Zhang Haifeng did.

It was just a subconscious act of questioning first and then questioning again.

"Is it really just a coincidence, or is there another reason?"

He hadn't even had a chance to think it over carefully.

next moment,

A purple figure suddenly soared into the sky from the crowd, drawing his long sword with a clear hum, and a cold and domineering blade light filled the heavens and earth.

in an instant,

Above the sky, thunder roared, purple lightning intertwined, and silver snakes danced wildly, filling everyone's vision with endless purple lightning.

Only when the long sword struck down from above did thunder explode and purple lightning rage, like divine punishment, cleaving the entire world in blood with a single stroke!
