Chapter 212: Joining forces to kill
Rumbling--

The enormous creature writhed and slithered across the ground, causing the entire Dawn District to tremble. The hard concrete road surface was utterly fragile before it, plowing out deep, abyss-like furrows.

Shops collapsed, vehicles overturned, streetlights fell down...

Everything seemed like an apocalyptic scene.

Blue whales, the largest known creatures of the old era, are only about 30 meters long, while this "abundance year after year" fish summoned by the "Yellow Mud Boy" is three times larger than a blue whale.

Like a towering skyscraper stretching across the land, it charges forward recklessly, with nothing on the ground able to stop its advance.

Boom! !
The night was as dark as ink, swallowing up the light of day.

As the yellow mud carp passed through a residential area, rows of reinforced concrete apartment buildings collapsed one after another, like harvested ears of wheat, amidst a deafening roar.

The glass curtain wall shattered into countless starlight, the concrete structure twisted and broke, and smoke and dust swept up like a tsunami, obscuring the moonlight.

Debris and rubble flew everywhere in the shockwave, crashing to the ground with dull thuds. The entire neighborhood was reduced to ruins in mere seconds, leaving only broken walls and rubble.

The sirens blared incessantly, mingling with the screams of the people.

“It must be stopped!”

The president of the Yong Association, Wei Xuan, shouted sternly.

This scene, in which countless innocent people lost their lives, shocked and enraged everyone present.

Wei Xuan took a step forward, and the old general, with his agile figure, leaped onto the rooftop of a building in the ruins in a few bounds.

He leaped down again, brandishing his Guan Dao in mid-air, and brought it down heavily, aiming straight for the head of the mud carp.

"Crimson flames and golden blades pierce the dawn, demons and monsters vanish into smoke—"

Wei Xuan shouted hoarsely, and a blade several meters long descended from the sky, striking the giant fish squarely on the head and slicing through a large patch of yellow mud.

He swung his sword horizontally with a backhand motion, the blade flashing like lightning.

"With armor still warm and hero's blood still flowing, we dare to send demons to their doom!"

Clang clang!
Amidst a burst of rapid drumming, the four flags behind Wei Xuan fluttered in the wind. He stroked his beard, turned around, and a series of movements—slashing, flicking, tossing, and dragging—left a trail of afterimages.

A dense array of flashing blades filled the sky.

Puff puff!
The head of the mud carp instantly shattered into pieces, exploding into a mass of mud.

Strangely, it didn't stop moving; its headless body continued to charge forward, crashing into even more buildings.

Boom! !
"Gather the fire!"

Defense Captain Luo Yan, number 7, shouted hoarsely.

At his command, the assembled seven or eight defense teams raised their laser rifles and fired at the giant fish.

Beep beep beep beep——

Countless red beams of light streaked across the night sky, precisely striking the bodies of the mud carp.

The fierce firepower struck the lake like a torrential downpour, creating ripples and leaving holes in the giant fish.

But soon, the yellow mud began to move and fill the wound.

It can't be killed at all!

In just a few dozen seconds, an entire neighborhood was destroyed.

wow-

The yellow mud carp suddenly sprang up from the ground, soaring a hundred meters high, before crashing down like a meteorite!
"Get away!!"

Amidst a thunderous roar that seemed to tear through the air, Mr. Wei roared hysterically.

Boom! !

A deafening roar shook the earth, and a once bustling pedestrian street instantly caved in and split apart, reduced to ruins.

Horrifying building debris and dust rose up.

Dozens of police officers and defense team members who failed to escape the bombardment area in time were submerged on the spot, and their fate is unknown.

"Ah!" A middle-aged man with a thick beard, dressed in combat gear, roared madly to the sky, firing at the silhouette of the colossal creature amidst billowing dust. "Die! Die!!"

Beep beep beep!
This man is the No. 5 defense captain. His team members were almost wiped out by the attack just now, and he was filled with grief and indignation.

"This is the Orange Disaster..."

Everyone was horrified and felt utterly powerless.

They were powerless to stop the Yellow Mud Carp's actions and could only watch helplessly as Dawn District was destroyed one after another.

The defense forces, police officers, and volunteers who came to combat the disaster suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, not only will Dawn District fall, but the surrounding areas will also be affected.

Until the entire valley city was breached and fell apart.

"Oh no!" Police Inspector Yu Zizi, who was holding binoculars, suddenly saw something and exclaimed, "There's an evacuation team in front of them!"

Everyone was shocked.

Due to the suddenness of the disaster, the Bureau of Overlook dispatched private organizations such as Cupid Home Care to assist in the evacuation of residents in the Dawn District, which is still ongoing.

On the main road, large transport trucks were driving, all carrying ordinary people from Gucheng.

If this giant fish were to run over it, countless people would be killed or injured!
"rise!"

Ning Meng, the No. 1 defense captain, made a hand gesture and chanted an incantation. As her magical power surged, the enormous bronze cauldron spun and flew up, landing in front of the yellow mud carp.

when! !

The headless giant fish crashed into the cauldron with a loud, muffled thud, and everyone instinctively covered their ears.

Yellow mud flew everywhere, but the bronze cauldron was also pushed open.

"Pfft—" Ning Meng suffered a backlash, immediately spitting out blood and turning pale. "Now's the time!"

Chairman Wei seized the opportunity and swung his Guan Dao (a type of halberd) with another vertical slash. The blade flashed and burst into flames, cleaving the yellow mud carp in two like a tiger's head guillotine.

boom! !

At the same time, Captains Jiang Tianhao and Luo Yan led their remaining troops in a charge, risking their lives to reach the stagnant Yellow Mud Carp.

Electricity, flames, lasers, magic...

A barrage of attacks rained down, blasting the struggling giant fish into a cloud of mud.

Just when it seemed they were about to completely defeat them, the boy in the red bib sitting atop the ruins laughed heartily and clapped his hands repeatedly.

The scene of everyone seemingly fighting hard was quite interesting.

Is this what "united as one" means?

The boy tilted his head and smiled.

His expression seemed innocent and naive, but his dark eyes revealed a deep malice.

"Prince Chiwen, Prince Suanni, help me vanquish the demon!"

He actually called everyone present a "demon"!
The boy grabbed the ground with both hands and immediately molded it into clay sculptures of a four-legged fish and a seated lion, then gently tossed them away.

Suddenly, the mud around the collapsing yellow mud carp began to writhe and churn, forming a giant maw that swallowed all the attacks.

Immediately, the mud carp healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal!
Even the lost fish head has grown back!
"?!"

Wei Xuan, Ning Meng, Jiang Tianhao, Yu Zizi and the others were stunned at first, and then felt despair.

The mud carp regained its vitality and twisted its body to roll forward.

Rumbling--

The giant fish rolled over the street, causing the road surface to crack and sink inch by inch. The lampposts broke like matchsticks, and the trees in the green belt were uprooted and rolled into mud and crushed into pieces.

"The monster is coming!!"

A police officer looked up at the shadowy fish that blotted out the sky, and his fluorescent baton fell to the ground with a thud.

The army's armored hovercraft made an emergency turn. The machine gunner on the roof turned pale, his finger frozen on the trigger, and he didn't even have the courage to fire.

"Evacuate! Hurry!" The employees of Cupid Housekeeping shouted as they pushed the crowd away, but their voices were instantly swallowed up by the roar of the giant fish swimming.

On the lead truck, a child clung to the window, his pupils reflecting the approaching waves of mud. His mother desperately covered his eyes, while she herself broke down in tears, crying out, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Panic erupted at that moment.

Just as the mudslide was about to engulf the convoy—

boom! ! !
A colossal, iron-gray shadow crashed down like a meteorite.

Unit-01's massive metal feet sank deep into the ground, its arms raised to brace against the fish's head, and its thrusters spewing out golden flames as it fiercely battled the giant fish's momentum.

creak-

The metal joints groaned under the strain, and the heel of Unit-01 plowed two trenches tens of meters long into the road, sparks flying everywhere.

Finally, when it was only a dozen meters away from the nearest transport vehicle, Unit-01 abruptly stopped its retreat. It halted the giant fish's crushing advance!
The civilians in the carriage collapsed to the ground; some vomited, some wailed, and many more trembled as they looked at that iron-gray figure, as if they were seeing a god descended to earth.

"That's... Wang Xi?!" Jiang Tianhao stood there gazing into the distance, forgetting to wipe the blood from the bruised and swollen tiger's mouth.

He was clearly aware of the recent pressure exerted on Wang Xi by the Gear Group.

Wei Xuan, wielding his Guan Dao (a type of halberd), his theatrical robe billowing in the air currents. He stared at the giant nutcracker soldier, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good lad!"

Ning Meng, Yu Zizi, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

now.

Wang Xi, in the cockpit of Unit 1, frowned as he stared at the energy tank on the screen, which was alarming wildly.

Fortunately, they arrived in time and activated Unit-01 to stop the giant fish; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, this also directly consumed thousands of units of energy.

Wang Xi glanced at the top of the ruins, his gaze lingering briefly on the boy in the red bib.

"Yellow Mud Boy (Disaster Core) · Zhang Fuyun's Obsession (Nemesis/Title One Star/Elite)"

The title is one star with a bronze frame.

"Taiyu" level monster.

"That giant fish is just a puppet; the 'Yellow Mud Boy' that controls it is the core of the disaster."

At this moment, Yu Zizi spoke in a low voice through her headset.

She raised her hand and activated several cards, one of which, a deep blue card, transformed into a two-meter-long, bright silver sniper rifle.

The female police inspector's movements were very smooth and seamless. She set up her sniper rifle, lay prone on the ground, and aimed at the boy in the red bib on top of the ruins.

"Take advantage of the giant fish being stopped and kill it!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Zizi had already pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !
A deafening gunshot rang out.

The sniper bullet struck the Yellow Mud Boy precisely in the chest, and the enormous impact instantly blew his upper body apart.

However, instead of showing joy, Yu Zizi's expression darkened. What splattered wasn't blood and flesh, but scattered mud.

"!!" Yu Zizi's pupils shrank.

This is not the original!
The next second, the ground behind the group of soldiers suddenly rose up, mud churned, and in the blink of an eye, it solidified into the outline of a child. The Clay Boy reappeared, still grinning and shaking the rattle in his hand—

dong dong dong dong!
The drumbeats sounded like the whisper of death, and the dozen or so soldiers widened their eyes and opened their mouths as if they were enduring intense pain.

Their faces were contorted, their hearts burst, blood gushed from their seven orifices, and they fell to the ground screaming and dying.

"Die!" Wei Xuan roared, his figure flashing like lightning as he instantly appeared in front of the boy. His guan dao drew a cold arc of light, severing the boy in half at the waist.

Just like before.

Wherever the blade passed, only mud splattered.

The boy disappeared again, and the next moment, he appeared directly among the defense team members, gently shaking a rattle drum—

dong dong dong! !

The No. 5 defense captain didn't even have time to react before his heart exploded inside his chest cavity.

puff--

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his eyes wide with rage. He took a few steps forward, almost raising his gun to shoot the boy, but he had lost all his strength and could only fall down unwillingly.

"Old Qiu!!" Jiang Tianhao roared, slamming his mechanical hammer into the ground, arcs of electricity raging, yet he still couldn't lock onto the boy's true form.

"This can't go on!" Ning Meng's brows remained furrowed throughout. She said in a deep voice, "We must restrict his movements, or we'll all be worn down and die here!"

The bronze cauldron floated in the air, its steam billowing, yet the target could not be found.

At this time.

Swah——

A scarlet line descended from the sky, meandering like a serpent, instantly encircling the boy.

These lines are of unknown origin, as if they have no substance.

"Hmm?" The boy tilted his head.

The next second, his body sank, turning into mud and seeping into the ground, trying to escape.

However, the cordon suddenly flickered, turning into a streak of light, and tightened abruptly dozens of meters away, forcefully pulling the boy's body out of the mud!
—"Warning Line"!
"Got you?" In the distance, Wang Xi, who was piloting Unit-01 and battling the Yellow Mud Carp, smirked and shouted through the Nutcracker Soldier's megaphone, "Everyone, move out!"

The boy, bound to the spot, was stunned for a moment, then grinned maliciously: "Hehe, interesting..."

Suddenly, the ground around it began to undulate, and countless clumps of mud surged forth, as if they were about to coalesce into something terrifying.

But the next second.

Snapped!
A jet-black hand materialized out of thin air, its palm splitting open into an eye that swept across the gray-white light, causing the boy to freeze for a moment.

Immediately, the black hand opened and, like a crocodile hunting, grabbed the boy's forehead, pressing him firmly to the spot.

— "Absolute bite"!
"Huh?!" The boy couldn't break free, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ning Meng seized the opportunity, and with a flick of her slender finger, the hazy cooking gas, like smoke and mist, swept across the boy's body in an instant. The boy's eyes widened, his mind went blank, and his movements slowed down.

"Slash!" Wei Xuan roared, his Guan Dao slicing through the sky, the blade flashing like snow, and with one strike, he beheaded his opponent.

puff-

Blood splattered, and the boy's head flew high into the air. A look of confusion remained on his tender face, as if he never understood why he had lost the game.
Boom!
Its head hit the ground, rolled a few times, and the little body, wearing a red bib with the character "福" (fortune) tied to it, also fell to the ground.

...Dead?
The battlefield fell silent.

The next second—

"Won!"

"we won!"

"We've destroyed the disaster core together!!"

The defense team and volunteers erupted in thunderous cheers. Some roared to the sky, while others embraced and wept. The ecstasy of surviving a disaster swept across the entire area.

Jiang Tianhao, panting heavily, slammed his mechanical hammer into the ground and grinned, "Damn, the Orange Cataclysm is terrifying. This is only one of the twins. Fortunately, it's finally resolved!"

But when he thought of his fallen colleagues and the innocent civilians who had perished, his smile vanished and his expression turned somber.

Ning Meng retrieved the bronze cauldron, wiped the sweat from her brow, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Thanks to Wang Xi..."

Thanks to that reminder, they already knew that the red thread binding the child and the black hand were both from Wang Xi.

It was precisely because of this perfect control that they were able to work together to kill the Yellow Mud Boy.

Looking around at the ruins, the scorched earth and blood intertwined, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

But at least—

Gucheng has been defended.

Wei Xuan sheathed his sword and stood there, his white beard stained with blood, yet he remained dignified and imposing. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, immediately take stock of the casualties and treat the wounded!"

In the distance, the enormous yellow mud carp collapsed along with the boy's death. Wang Xi also deactivated Unit-01 and walked slowly over.

His gaze swept across the battlefield, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Although he received a kill notification, the warning from the "Fu" character brand still hadn't ended...

boom! !

Just then, everyone heard a distant explosion and turned to look.

A golden cloud of sugar appeared over the city cluster.

"Mr. Gu's battle is over too..."

Wei Xuan removed his costume and helped his student Li Xingduan walk over, then looked at Tang Yun and smiled.

But the seriousness in Wang Xi's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The tremors of the "Fu" character mark did not disappear; instead, they grew stronger, as if something bad was about to happen!
Suddenly.

Wang Xi's eyes sharpened.

He noticed that the sugar cloud spreading in the distance shot straight into the sky, and actually painted a sugar phoenix in the night sky, flying straight towards them!
cracking!!

A sharp cry lingered over Gucheng!

Everyone's expression changed drastically!
