All mutated animals tens of miles around the area instantly hid their vibes and started running for their lives. Some hid in their nests and didn't dare to come out. Meanwhile, most of the birds rose from treetops and flew away.
Even some mutated plants above level-five quieted down.
Wu Chengyue brought Lin Qiao away at a very high speed. In the next second after the level-eight underground gorilla crawled out of the hole, he and Lin Qiao showed up somewhere over ten miles away.
After steadying herself, Lin Qiao turned back to look at that underground gorilla. She was a little worried that the giant monster might head toward All Beings Base.
Wu Chengyue brought her to the opposite direction of All Beings Base. He, of course, was aware that they should not return to All Beings Base at the moment. If the monster followed them there, the base would be doomed.
Yun Meng and the others were fast as well. Before long, they showed up around Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao. Xiao Licheng was slower than them, and was still on the way. After all, his earth power didn't allow him to move as fast as wind-power possessors.
Also, the poor man had become a target again. This time, what was targeting him wasn't that level-five zombie or the level-seven underground gorilla.
The ten-meter-tall underground gorilla sniffed around, then made two steps toward Xiao Licheng. After that, it lowered its upper body and propped itself with its pair of strong forelimbs that looked like elephant legs, then bent its waist and thrust its rear legs against the ground.
Bang! The giant dark figure leaped over ten meters high in the darkness, then landed about fifty meters away from the hole. After that, it made another leap. Its enormous body stirred the air and raised a gust of wind. When it landed, a thunderous thud was heard and a wave of strong wind spread.
Xiao Licheng was leaping from a roof when he heard the loud noise behind him. That dangerous vibe descended and shrouded him instantly.
He turned back to find a gigantic figure hopping toward him from a distance away. He felt as if he had just fallen into an ice hole. The strong oppressing feeling made his face pale, and sweat drops oozed out of his forehead thickly.
That monster had its eyes on him…
He was going to die…
While he was locked onto and slowed down a little, that enormous figure had made a couple of more leaps and shortened the distance further.
The overwhelming life crisis urged him to wake up quickly, and then he started running like hell.
On the other side, Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue both realized that Xiao Licheng's life was in danger.
Wu Chengyue was anxious, but also hesitating. He wanted very much to save Xiao Licheng. With him, Xiao Licheng would surely be safe. However, he was now bonded together with his future wife, who was in no condition to approach that monster together with him.
While he was struggling, Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes, seemingly to sense something. Soon, she gave her order to Yun Meng and the other zombies—'Go and save him first. Don't fight it face to face.'
Hearing that, Yun Meng immediately brought a few level-six zombie back toward Xiao Licheng.
None of zombies on the scene had wind power. A wind power possessor would be able to bring Xiao Licheng out of trouble very easily.
Bang! Another sound was heard, and Xiao Licheng turned back to find that the monster had made over ten leaps within a few seconds, catching up with him rapidly. It was now only two-hundred meters behind him, and would be right before his eyes in a few blinks.
He was so nervous, but he still told himself to calm down. At least, his boss was there. Chief Wu wouldn't let anything happen to him. Apart from him, the group of zombies from All Beings Base was also nearby. Thinking about them, he believed that he wouldn't die, at least not so soon.
"Don't look back!" Yun Meng showed up by his side right at that moment and grabbed him, then moved forward at lightning speed. The other zombies showed up in the next second as well. They didn't approach that monster, and only attacked him with their superpowers from the distance.
Swoosh! Eight had metal power. His head was still wrapped gauze in a weird shape. However, that didn't weaken his power.
All metal objects nearby flew into the sky and gathered toward him. Abandoned cars, metal pieces from buildings, even the reinforcing steel bars were brought out from the walls and woven into enormous arrows. As Eight wielded an arm, those huge arrows swished at that monster.
"Roar…" The gigantic underground gorilla paused briefly under the rain of metal arrows, then swung both arms and easily slapped the two-meters-long, five-centimeters thick arrows off the sky. It missed a few and let them land on itself, yet those arrows only caused a series of clangs against its skin and left some white marks on its body. Not a single arrow broke its skin.
After dealing with those large arrows, the giant gorilla made another leap toward Xiao Licheng. But at that moment, a dazzling huge fireball was thrown at it.
The tiny body of Four, who threw out the fireball, flashed across the air and disappeared.
It was his greatest fireball, generated with all his power. After throwing out that fireball, he wouldn't be able to use his fire power again in about ten minutes. On the other side, Eight also needed a few minutes to regain his power after launching those metal arrows.
Lin Qiao didn't want them to confront tough with toughness, so they took turns to distract the monster and buy time for Yun Meng.
Bang! The underground gorilla, which had leaped into the sky, failed to dodge the fireball and ended up being struck down to the ground. However, the fireball didn't bring it any harm, and only emblazed some inflammable objects around it.
"Roar…" The giant gorilla made a roll on the ground and crushed the flower bed by the street. Then, it stood up and uttered an angry roar. Those attacks didn't hurt it, but stopped it from catching up with its prey. That made it very unhappy.
With all that happening, Yun Meng brought Xiao Licheng farther away from the giant gorilla.
As Lin Qiao sent her zombies to help Xiao Licheng, Wu Chengyue sighed with relief. He held her wrist tightly, then slightly dropped his head as he turned and said to her, "Thank you!"
'You're welcome,' Lin Qiao responded calmly.
Recently, she was able to vaguely sense his thoughts while making body contact with him. It might because he had suffered a drastic energy reduction lately. She sensed how worried he was just now. That was why she sent Yun Meng and the other zombies to bring Xiao Licheng back.
