Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 51 The Long Night Will Eventually End

"boom--"

A deafening roar erupted as the drilling cone pierced the earth and struck the head of the Golden Scale Python King, which was coiled within the underground mall.

"Bam—"

A giant python head covered in golden scales exploded like a watermelon that had been smashed to the ground, with fragments of golden scales mixed with blood, flesh, and bone shards scattering throughout the smoke-filled underground shopping mall.

The first-tier planetary Golden Scale Python King is dead!
'call--'

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin's figure roared in from the large hole that the drilling cone had previously pierced through the top of the underground mall.

After collecting the headless corpse of the Golden Scale Python King, Lu Jin had a thought and appeared in another location within City 003.

Three seconds later, the Planetary Tier 1 Crimson Flame Boar died!
Collect the corpse, teleport.

Ten seconds later, the second-tier planetary Netherwater Xuan Turtle died!

In less than half a minute, all three king-level monsters that had been entrenched in City 003 fell at Lu Jin's hands.

Next stop, destination: Changbai Mountains in Northeast China!
Meanwhile, in the Southeast Guard District office, Li Dawei, who had just finished a remote meeting with high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Health, had a solemn expression on his face.

In the morning, the satellite intelligence team for King-class monsters sent a message.

Of the five king-level monsters that resided in the Qinling Mountains, one disappeared right under the noses of the detection satellites.

Initially, he and the other four district chiefs and four councilors took it seriously, but not too seriously.

After all, reconnaissance satellites are very different from ordinary satellites. Although they cannot display specific images, they can detect the powerful aura emitted by King-level monsters, thereby determining the location of the King-level monsters.

However, the manufacturing cost of such reconnaissance satellites is extremely high, and the materials for their core components come from ancient civilization relics, so the number of satellites possessed by the satellite company is not large.

The limited number of detection satellites coupled with the excessive number of King-level monsters meant that the satellites could not keep track of the movements of every King-level monster on the Yanhuang land at all times.

While it's rare for a King-level monster to escape detection by a satellite, it's not uncommon and has been treated as normal.

However, after half a day, they had to raise their vigilance to the highest level.

This time, the three king-level monsters that were originally staying in the Qinling Mountains have all disappeared.

Moreover, just three hours earlier, the detection satellite had lost track of the Black Widow Spider Queen in the Dabie Mountains.

The disappearance of king-level monsters on the land of Yanhuang led them to consider a possibility.

—King-level monsters from all over the country have joined forces to launch a catastrophe-level beast tide!
With this suspicion in mind, Li Dawei felt extremely heavy-hearted after the high-level meeting.

A catastrophic beast tide, possibly even a nationwide catastrophic beast tide, could potentially destroy a country.

"Drip-drip-"

Suddenly, a sound came from the communication watch.

Upon opening the message, Li Dawei saw that Lu Jin had sent him a text message.

—The long night will eventually end. Tonight, I will end the age of monsters!

Li Dawei: "???"

Li Dawei was stunned; he recognized every single word in the text message.

But if they're put together, he won't understand them.

"Dududu-"

Just then, the red dedicated phone in the office rang.

Immediately, Li Dawei's expression changed, and he quickly answered the call: "This is Li Dawei, please speak." "Sir, the detection satellite has lost track of the three-headed king-level monster in city 003."

"What? Three more have gone missing?"

Li Dawei was terrified.

"Yes, but the detection satellites have detected a strange situation."

When the three king-level monsters in City 003 went missing, a strange and powerful life signal appeared at each of them.

Within seconds of this strange life signal appearing, the life signal that originally represented a King-level monster will disappear, and then this strange life signal will instantly appear next to the next King-level monster.

It is suspected that a powerful and unknown councilor with the ability to teleport is hunting a King-level monster.

Or perhaps there's an unknown King-level monster using some special method to mask the life signals emitted by other King-level monsters.

"This is what the satellite intelligence team member reported on the other end of the dedicated line."

"You will connect all the real-time information detected by the reconnaissance satellites to the command center."

With that, Li Dawei put down the phone and hurried toward the command post.

Soon, inside the satellite command center, Li Dawei saw the strange situation described by the satellite intelligence team members through a projection.

According to the detection satellite, the Yinshan Mountains originally had two life signals representing king-level monsters.

But when an unfamiliar life signal suddenly appeared next to the life signal representing one of the King-level monsters, it disappeared in just a few seconds.

Then, less than ten seconds later, the second life signal representing a King-level monster in the Yinshan Mountains also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the unfamiliar life signal disappeared and suddenly reappeared in the Taihang Mountains, thousands of miles south of the Yinshan Mountains.

Before long, the Taihang Mountains, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the Helan Mountains, the Liupan Mountains, the Daba Mountains, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Wushan Mountains were all affected.
From east to west, from north to south, in every area of ​​the Yanhuang land where a king-level monster resides, that strange life signal will appear.

Moreover, with the appearance and disappearance of this strange life signal, all the detection satellites lost the life signals representing the King-level monsters in these areas, without exception.

Ten minutes, just a short ten minutes.

Across the 960 million square kilometers of the Yanhuang land, detection satellites can no longer detect any life signals representing a King-level monster.

Similarly, when all the life signals representing king-level monsters disappeared from the Yanhuang land, that unfamiliar life signal also disappeared.

At this moment, not only Li Dawei and the satellite intelligence team, but everyone in the other four major military command centers of Yanhuang who was watching the live projection was deeply shocked.

It should be noted that prior to today, according to statistics from the satellite intelligence team, there were as many as thirty-four king-level monsters on the land of Yanhuang!

If the disappearance of these thirty-four life signals from king-level monsters was not because the king-level monsters concealed their life signals through some special means, but because they were truly killed.

This would be a momentous and joyous occasion for every citizen of Yanhuang.

This means that the monsters on the land of Yanhuang can no longer pose a threat to the Yanhuang Kingdom.

Without the King-level monsters, the councilors can kill the Lord-level monsters without any worries.

In this way, how could the beast tide pose any threat?

Suddenly, Li Dawei realized something important. His hands trembled as he turned on his communication watch, flipped through the phone book, and called Lu Jin.

Even as a mid-level War God warrior, Li Dawei's hands were trembling, which showed how excited and shocked he was.
