I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Lin Xuankong's astonishing methods just now,

The level of life it exhibits is clearly at the top level of the eighth rank!

This can certainly intimidate almost every ninth-tier canine source beast, but it cannot make eighth-tier canine source beasts fear it!
Because the white ice blade, gleaming with a cold light, was as elusive and impossible to catch or dodge in the eyes of the ninth-tier canine source beast, it was as if it came and went without a trace.
However, the twenty-eight predator-level source beasts present, except for the canine source beast leader, were all powerful canine source beasts at the late stage of the predator level. The terrifying speed of the Frost Blade, a late stage eighth-order predator-level source beast, was naturally enough for them to keenly capture with their eyes and they had enough confidence to avoid the Frost Blade's attack on their vital points!
"Awoo awoo awoo"

A piercing howl rang out from the position of the canine beast leader.

In an instant, a total of twenty-eight gray shadows shot towards Lin Xuankong's location!

The leader of the canine source beasts, a top-tier eighth-order life form, along with twenty-seven other powerful canine source beasts at the predator level, launched an attack on Lin Xuankong at the same time!

These powerful predator-level source beasts were far faster than those ninth-tier canine source beasts. When those ninth-tier canine source beasts charged, the refugees in Shelter 35 could still catch a glimpse of their movements with their naked eyes. However, when these predator-level canine source beasts launched their attack and charged with all their might, the refugees in Shelter 35 could not see their movements at all!

Only Zhu Ling, who was on a distant rooftop, could see this and couldn't help but gasp softly, her face tense.

As a ninth-tier early-stage Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior, her eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and her reaction speed was also much faster. In particular, she also possessed special visual gene abilities, so she was still able to barely see the movements of those predator-level canine source beasts!

When the twenty-eight enormous canine beasts, each more than twice the size of an ordinary ox, had covered half the distance...
Zhu Ling, standing on a distant rooftop, tensed up completely, her hands pressing various buttons on the remote control!
In an instant, the dozens of automatic cannons mounted on the rooftops of the dozen or so residential buildings began to hum, and a large number of SW alloy bullets were fired at the location between Lin Xuankong and the predator-level canine source beasts, approaching Lin Xuankong's position!

At this moment, Zhu Ling was very clear that those predator-level canine source beasts were too fast. When the SW alloy bullets from those automatic cannons swept through the space and struck, these predator-level canine source beasts might rush past the location the bullets were aimed at!
At this moment, Zhu Ling could not stand by and watch Lin Xuankong fight against twenty-eight predator-level canine source beasts alone, but she knew very well that this was all the help she could offer Lin Xuankong!
I hope he survives!

Hopefully, he can hold off these damned predatory canine-type source beasts!

For the first time, Zhu Ling felt a pang of panic. She hadn't felt this way before, when she planned to have everyone retreat while she and a few others stayed behind to draw the attention and fire of the canine beast horde. She hadn't felt this way when she saw the canine beast horde gradually approaching. But now, she was slightly panicked! Because, before, she knew that she and the entire Shelter No. 35 had almost no hope. Now, with this young man fighting the canine beast horde alone, she had a glimmer of hope!
If a person is prepared to sacrifice, he may be fearless in the face of danger. But when he has hope of survival, and that hope may be lost, he will naturally panic and want to keep that sliver of hope alive!
however,
What rapidly amplified the panic in Zhu Ling's heart was that
Before the bullets from those automatic cannons even reached their firing or blocking positions, the twenty-eight powerful canine-type source beasts, at the predator level, had already rushed past those positions—the speed of these powerful predator-type source beasts was simply too fast!
"Damn it!"

Zhu Ling's brows suddenly furrowed tightly!
However, her tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed and lifted, her eyes widened, revealing an extremely surprised expression!

Not just her,

That tall, strong woman, Lu Yun,

Those four dragon-elephant gene warriors who had only recently awakened...

Everyone in Shelter No. 35, who was looking at Lin Xuankong's location, suddenly widened their eyes and showed extremely surprised expressions!
Because those twenty-eight predator-level canine source beasts suddenly froze in mid-air, enveloped by a large amount of transparent ice, and then fell to the ground together. They were all frozen by Lin Xuan Kong's water-drawing technique combined with ice magic!
Every predator-level canine source beast was like a specimen trapped in amber, completely motionless. Even the most powerful predator-level canine source beast leader was trapped in ice, unable to move his limbs, and unable to even wag his tail!
Of course, these predator-level canine source beasts possess incredible vitality. Being frozen in ice wouldn't kill them instantly! The pupils in their frozen canine eyes continued to expand and contract, and the thick blood vessels beneath their fur continued to flow with blood and circulate source energy!

They are still constantly urging the source energy, urging every muscle and bone in their bodies to break free from the ice!
If it were ordinary ice, they could easily break free in an instant with their combined strength of nearly a hundred tons. However, this ice was conjured by Lin Xuankong, an eighth-tier life form. Its strength was completely different from ordinary ice. Even if it couldn't compare to the shell of an eighth-tier giant python or a top-tier eighth-tier insect-type source beast, it still possessed extremely terrifying strength! Such ice was simply impossible for these eighth-tier canine source beasts to escape in a short time!

Just like Xu Rong, the captain of Shelter No. 36 who was killed by Lin Xuankong, once frozen in Lin Xuankong's ice, even if they were able to escape, Lin Xuankong would not give him or them that chance!
However, these were, after all, a full twenty-eight predator-level source beasts. They exerted their strength and struggled at the same time. Even though they couldn't break through the ice directly, they still put tremendous pressure on Lin Xuan Kong!

The ice trapping the source beasts kept developing small cracks, which were then repeatedly closed under Lin Xuankong's manipulation. These cracks would then reappear and close once more.
After a few seconds,

Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice:
"It's not an easy task to kill twenty-eight predator source beasts at the same time!"

Alright, now you can eat them, but remember to spit out those predator-level Originium crystals later!

He was speaking to the ground beneath his feet, where there was clearly no one and no living creature!
but,

Suddenly,
The ground began to shake continuously, as if a terrifying and enormous monster was lurking deep underground!
Central Plaza of Vault One.

Huang Wentao, the top officer of this shelter and also the top officer of the entire shelter, stood on the reviewing stand, looking down at the twenty-three armored vehicles lined up below, his expression somewhat somber.

Beside each of the twenty-three armored vehicles stood an extremely robust, nearly 2.4-meter-tall, towering eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior in military uniform. However, beside one of the armored vehicles stood three eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors. These three were none other than the three commanders-in-chief, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu, who had escaped from the vicinity of Shelter No. 36. As for the other eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, they were naturally commanders-in-chief from various other shelters who had gathered there.

Standing next to Huang Wentao, the number one commander of the shelter, an eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warrior gave Huang Wentao a standard military salute and said:

"Commander Huang, all the commanders from Vault 2, Vault 3, Vault 42, Vault 45, Vault 48, and Vault 50 have completed their evacuation. Please give your instructions!"

Huang Wentao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the many eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors, but remained silent.

The numerous eighth-tier Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior captains present were all taken aback by Commander Huang's gaze, feeling as if their faces had been scalded by something burning hot. The captains were all secretly astonished, and their expressions of awe towards Huang Wentao became even more pronounced.

Because these captains of the eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors all came to the Stone City Ruins with Huang Wentao back then, they were very clear about Huang Wentao's previous strength. However, they were certain that although Huang Wentao was already a powerful dragon-elephant gene warrior at the mid-seventh tier two years ago and had a great sense of authority, he definitely did not have the same imposing presence as he does now!
In other words, in just two years, Huang Wentao, the number one officer of Shelter No. 1, has probably made great progress in strength again. He is estimated to be close to the top level of the seventh rank. Even if he has not reached the top level yet, he is not far away!

"A total of forty-nine shelters"

Apart from the few shelters that were wiped out by the attack of the seventh-tier source beast horde, there should be at least forty-two armored vehicle convoys gathering here!

But so much time has passed, and only the commanders of the twenty-five vaults have gathered at Vault One. Where are the commanders of the other vaults and the armored vehicle convoys?

Huang Wentao asked with a gloomy expression.

The adjutant standing next to Huang Wentao straightened up, saluted again, and said:

"Apart from Vault 36, which has not responded, Vaults 22 and 20 are currently under attack by a horde of predator-level source beasts and are temporarily unable to retreat. The captains of the other vaults have already reported to this side that they have gathered all the Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors and are retreating this way!"

They still haven't arrived. Something must have happened. They must not have escaped the hunt of those extremely powerful seventh-tier source beasts. The observation posts have also reported that battles have broken out simultaneously at more than a dozen locations.”

Upon hearing what the adjutant said,
The captains of the different shelters present all tensed up.

The seventh-tier source beast horde was a nightmare for these eighth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors. They were simply unable to resist it, just like a ninth-tier dragon-elephant gene warrior facing an eighth-tier predator source beast—there was almost no chance of survival!
Among them, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu's expressions became extremely complex. Like the dozen or so other retreating teams who hadn't arrived, they too had encountered a terrifying horde of seventh-tier source beasts. Fortunately, they didn't linger; sensing trouble, they abandoned everyone and fled! Furthermore, their escape was also due to the fact that the three armored vehicle teams had clustered together, making them too numerous targets, which prevented the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts from focusing their attack on their armored vehicle!
Huang Wentao fell silent again at this point.
The annihilation of more than a dozen shelter teams meant that nearly three thousand ninth-tier dragon-elephant gene warriors, more than a dozen eighth-tier late-stage and top-tier dragon-elephant gene warrior captains, and dozens of eighth-tier mid-stage vice-captains had all become food for the source beasts!

This is a huge blow to the overall strength of the gene warrior team in the Stone City Ruins. If we include the seven shelters that were destroyed by the seventh-tier tyrannical source beasts, it means that the number of gene warriors in the Stone City Ruins has been reduced by nearly half!
Although many Tier 7 Tyrannical Source Beasts appeared in the Stone City Ruins
Huang Wentao, the top commander of the Stone City Ruins, had prepared himself mentally, but seeing the Stone City Gene Team, which once numbered as many as 10,000, now reduced to only half its former strength, Huang Wentao still couldn't help but feel depressed.

Has Vault 36 still not responded?

They still have no intention of retreating?

What exactly is Xu Rong thinking?

Feeling somewhat depressed, Huang Wentao raised his voice slightly, but his tone became cold.

The adjutant, who was nearly 2.4 meters tall, trembled slightly upon hearing Huang Wentao's tone and stammered, "I'm contacting Shelter 36 and will urge them to come quickly!"

At this moment, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu exchanged glances and all frowned.

After a moment's hesitation, Lei Che took a step forward, saluted Huang Wentao, and then said, "Commander Huang, when we were retreating, Commander Lin Hu, Commander Lang Pu, and I passed by Shelter No. 36. We planned to have Xu Rong, You Rui, Ma Long, and others from Shelter No. 36 retreat with us. We specifically mentioned that it was your order, Commander Huang, that they had to retreat!"

But... but Yu Rui directly refused our request, and also directly refused your order, Commander Huang! (End of Chapter)
