Chapter 518： The unexpected iron beetle

“Hello, is this Mr. Li Pingli?”

As soon as the call was connected, a beautiful female voice rang.

“That’s right, it’s me. Are you?”

Chen Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"I am a staff member at the headquarters of the Awakeners Association in Yandi City, Li Xin, job number 3616," the woman said with a smile: "You spent one million points before to purchase god-demonic martial arts and observe the universe in the association mall. You have the right to study the law, right?”

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded.

"OK."

The woman said happily: "Lord Thunder Emperor has known and agreed to this matter. Please go to the headquarters of the Awakeners Association of Yandi City in the afternoon of three days and explain your intention to the staff at the front desk. Afterwards, a dedicated person will You bring it to Lord Lei Huang,

I don’t know if you heard me clearly. If not, I can say it again. In addition, after hanging up the phone, you can also receive an email with detailed arrangements. "

“The staff at the headquarters have a surprisingly good attitude.”

Chen Fan thought to himself and said: "I heard clearly, it will be the afternoon of the fourth day, right?"

"Yes, someone will bring you to the Emperor Lei at that time." The woman's voice sounded very envious.

“Okay, but can this time be moved a day or two ahead of time?” Chen Fan asked with the mentality of giving it a try.

At the moment, Anshan City's life and death is at stake. If he can learn the method of observing the universe earlier, the time for absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth will be much longer, saving a lot of meditation time.

The more heaven and earth energy is absorbed, the faster the strength will naturally grow.

"ah?"

The woman on the other side of the phone seemed to have encountered this situation for the first time.

 She has informed other people of similar news in the past, and without exception, everyone who heard the news was extremely excited and spoke unkindly, unlike the person in front of her who actually bargained.

"Well, Mr. Li," she said, "the time schedule was set by Lord Leihuang. I only called you after receiving the notice from above. Therefore, I'm afraid it's something like one or two days in advance." Nothing can be done.”

“It’s okay, I was the one who was abrupt.”

 Chen Fan sighed and knew that he was forcing others to make things difficult for him. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will arrive at the headquarters of the Awakeners in Yandi City in three days."

"Okay, Mr. Li, do you have any other questions?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gone."

"Okay, I wish you a happy life, Mr. Li. Goodbye." The woman hung up the phone and glanced at the document in front of her. What was written on it was Li Ping's information.

The rating column is filled with B-level awakeners.

She didn't show any strange expression.

Although Observation of the Universe is the top-level martial arts, many B-level awakened people have signed up in the past, and there are even C-level awakened people.

Master Lei Huang also met one by one and gave guidance. As for the harvest, only each of them knows clearly in his heart.

“The next person is…”

She muttered and turned to the next page.

“I didn’t expect that I would have to wait three more days…”

Chen Fan hung up the phone with a wry smile on his face.

He thought that after receiving the notice, he could rush to the destination immediately and obtain the skills.

But when you think about it, it makes sense. After all, that person is one of the three top experts in the Yan Kingdom. Time is more precious than gold. It is not easy to spare some time to give guidance to others.

This time, he will be notified. There is a high probability that he will be notified not just by himself, but by a group of people, who will give guidance together when the time comes.

“I just don’t know what will happen to Anshan City in these three days, and whether there will be a bigger crisis.”

Chen Fan sighed, then closed his eyes and continued to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth.

…

The night passed quickly, the morning sun rose, and Anshan City returned to its former tranquility.

People walking on the street greeted each other warmly.

Other than the occasional guard with loaded ammunition passing by, it doesn't look much different from before.

At the morning tea stall on the roadside, some people were sitting around the table, eating steaming steamed buns, drinking fragrant rice porridge, talking and laughing.

“Speaking of it, it’s really like a dream. Even now, I doubt that I’m still in a dream.” A middle-aged man said with a confused look on his face.

"Hahaha, who says it's not the case? During the battle yesterday afternoon, I thought the end of the world was coming. The sound of gunfire kept ringing in my ears. As a result, in less than one afternoon, the beast tide was repulsed. It was like a dream. ." After the companion next to him finished speaking, he took a hard bite of the bun in his hand, and the juice splashed everywhere, leaving a fragrant aroma in his mouth.

“Isn’t this all thanks to President Li? If it weren’t for him, our Anshan City would probably be in ruins. How can we, the people, sit here and have breakfast like we do now?”

"Yes, when I passed by the Awakened Association this morning, I heard several Awakened adults talking, saying that a small city less than 500 miles away from here has been submerged by the beast tide, and the people inside are dead. Die, run away, suffer heavy injuries!"

“Ah? Is it true or false? Is it so miserable?”

“That small city?”

“It’s less than five hundred miles away from us. Could it be Wangcheng? Or Shucheng?”

The eyes of many people around him gathered. Some who knew the surrounding situation even said the name of the city.

“This,” the man shook his head and said, “I forgot.”

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Although I don’t know which city it is, the name is actually not important, because the fact is that a city fell, and the number of people who died is conservatively estimated to be more than 100,000.

"It was another city that fell, not ours. Everyone is afraid," someone said with a smile: "Didn't our Anshan City also have a beast wave yesterday? What was the result? Our Anshan City defended it. In my opinion, even if If it breaks out again next time, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“That’s right, so many ferocious beasts not only failed to attack our city, but also left us with so much beast meat.”

“That’s right, if you eat it for a month, you may not be able to finish it.”

There is optimism all around.

There are also many people who remain silent.

In their hearts, they naturally hope that everything will be safe in the future, but will the reality be as they wish?

“Hey? What’s going on?”

At this moment, someone exclaimed and looked at the ground where he was sitting, "Why does it feel like the ground is shaking?"

“The ground is shaking?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned visibly pale.

Yesterday’s earthquake was caused by a tide of beasts.

This time, there was another earthquake. Is it possible that the beast tide is coming again?

“Still moving, still moving!”

The man's voice became louder and louder, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

Because he discovered that where he was, the ground with a diameter of two to three meters was actually rising!

This scene also shocked the others, all of them widened their eyes and couldn't figure out what was going on.

“What are you still doing? Why don’t you run quickly!”

At this moment, a woman's scolding sounded.

“They are ferocious beasts that burrow into the ground! They are coming out soon!”

“What! A ground-burrowing beast?”

“A ferocious beast?” “A ferocious beast!”

In an instant, everyone was running very fast. In the blink of an eye, the originally bustling streets were deserted.

“Beauty, save, save me, I, I can’t move.”

The man sitting on the chair was about to shed tears.

Because not only his feet, but many roads in the distance also began to bulge, as if something was about to break out of the ground, but the road surface was relatively solid and it was not easy to come out.

“What a waste.”

Wang Lingling glanced at him with disgust, flew over, grabbed the back of the chair, and lifted the chair to a distance along with the person.

"Beauty, thank you, thank you." The man felt his stiff legs, regained his intuition, and hurriedly thanked her.

"Need not."

Wang Lingling glanced at him, and then her gaze fell on the street dozens of meters away with an extremely solemn look.

There have been more than a dozen ground bulges there, each with a diameter of three to five meters. If they are connected together, it is difficult to imagine that something huge will emerge from them.

“Are those people in the City Lord’s Mansion all working for a living? Such a big thing has happened, but no one has come yet.”

She frowned and muttered.

When a ferocious beast emerges from the ground later, will she be asked to take action?

To be honest, she didn’t want to put herself in danger, it was still early in the morning, but she promised others that she would help others if she could find a place within her power.

From all directions, many people were hiding in corners or inside the house, looking at that area.

No way, there can’t really be a ferocious beast emerging from the ground, right? After all, the beast tide had not been repulsed, so how could there still be ferocious beasts appearing, or did they appear directly in the city?

“Peng!”

With a muffled sound, a black insect-shaped beast burst out of the ground!

It looks like a beetle that has been enlarged dozens or hundreds of times. Its size alone is the size of a truck. The pincers in front of its forehead are as long as an adult's arm. They are covered with dense serrations. The mouthparts below are It was also full of teeth, shining coldly in the sun.

“It’s an iron beetle!”

Wang Lingling whispered.

This is a high-level ferocious beast that is good at burrowing into the ground and can launch attacks from all kinds of places you can't imagine.

The moment it broke through the ground, the iron beetle lifted up its eight legs as thick as an adult's arms and crawled out of the ground.

As soon as it came out, the iron pincers of a second iron beetle appeared behind it, and another one crawled out, followed by a third one, and a fourth one...

Not only here, but other roads around it were also broken, and one after another, iron beetles sprung up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Everyone observing in the dark was so frightened that they could not speak.

Just imagine, what would have happened if they had not been reminded and were still standing there watching the fun?

To be honest, those one-meter-long iron pliers could easily cut off people like them at the waist, right?

Who would have thought that just by going out to have breakfast, you could end up at the gate of hell?

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of iron beetles were standing on the ground, and more were coming out of the ground in a steady stream.

At this moment, police sirens blared loudly, and dozens of armored vehicles drove over from both sides of the street.

Immediately afterwards, countless black gun muzzles stretched out from the armored vehicle. Suddenly, the gunshots were loud, and the bullets seemed to be free of charge, shooting towards the iron beetles in the middle.

“Dang, Dang, Dang!”

A shocking scene happened.

The bullets from the heavy machine gun fell on these iron beetles and only shot out a string of sparks. They were unable to cause substantial damage at all. Instead, they aroused the ferocity of these iron beetles.

They were standing there, as if waiting for something, and rushed towards the armored vehicle door one by one at a terrifying speed.

“Boom!”

A loud bang!

An armored vehicle was overturned to the ground by several iron beetles, and several holes were poked through the body made of steel plates.

“The defense capabilities of these iron beetles are already comparable to those of elite ferocious beasts.”

Wang Lingling had a complicated look on her face, and she glanced towards the hole.

More iron beetles are coming out of it, getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid it won't be long before elite-level iron beetles appear.

With just these dozens of armored vehicles, trying to stop these guys is tantamount to wishful thinking. Before reinforcements arrive, these guards will undoubtedly die, and the ordinary people around them will probably also suffer heavy casualties.

"well."

She sighed, and two daggers appeared in her hands.

Looking at these guards dying miserably in front of them, she really couldn't do it, but don't expect it. She can stop so many iron beetles by herself, so she can help as much as she can.

In the overturned armored vehicle, more than a dozen guards fell to pieces, and some were injured. Their bodies were pierced by the horns of the iron beetle. Just when they were about to die, several brilliant sword auras flew towards them, and those few guards were injured. The body of the iron beetle was broken into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Wang Lingling didn't stop at all to kill these iron beetles, and directly raised her body skills to the extreme, weaving through the hail of bullets, waving her arms, and flying out sword energy one after another.

One after another, the iron beetles fell down, and the originally precarious situation was drastically reversed.

Everyone watching around was already stunned.

They couldn't see clearly what was going on, they could only see the vicious beasts falling down one after another.

“Could it be that President Li who took action?”

Some people thought in their hearts and looked upward, but did not see the figure.

"Maybe it's somewhere we can't see. That's great. With President Li taking action, these ferocious beasts are nothing to be afraid of."

Everyone was excited, but the actual situation was not as easy as they thought.

Wang Lingling exerted all her strength, which also meant that the real energy in her body was consumed very quickly. After killing hundreds of iron beetles, she found that the number of iron beetles around her increased instead of decreasing, and they were still coming towards her.

“No more delay!”

Wang Lingling's face changed. This was the only way she could go. If she didn't leave, she might not be able to leave.

“Unexpectedly, there is another young master.”

Not far away, Mr. Wang looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

At a young age, he was able to reach the True Essence Realm. Although he couldn't keep up with that little guy, he was still among the best among his peers.

And he has a good heart and can stand up at this time.

It's just that, judging from her appearance, she almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Forget it, I promised Chen Fan that if there was a situation in the city, I would help. In this case, just help this little girl.

A smile appeared on his lips.

Wang Lingling swung two sword energies again, and a scene that left her stunned happened.

The sword energy that was originally only two or three meters suddenly increased tenfold and became 20 or 30 meters in size. After being swung out, the iron beetles in front fell down in rows.

In the blink of an eye, a large open space opened directly in front of them.

Wang Lingling was stunned. She looked at the two daggers in her hands, and an idea came to her mind.

When did I become so strong?
