Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Moreover, with a "giant beast" living near the Dragon Gate, it's clear that the Yan Kingdom would not stand idly by.

It's unlikely that they could muster an army to fight the behemoth. According to some intelligence, the Yan Kingdom believes that Sui is about to awaken and will not provoke other behemoths during this period. They will instead focus all their efforts on dealing with Sui...

But they will definitely send people to investigate, to confirm the beast's nature, and whether it poses a threat to the Yan Kingdom.

If so, even if the Yan Kingdom has no intention of starting a war, war will still break out.

The problem is that Benares is controlled by Fang Rui, and whether he has this idea depends on Fang Rui's thoughts.

Given Fang Rui's personality, he naturally wouldn't have such thoughts.

only……

We need to think carefully about how to communicate with the envoy from the Yan Kingdom; after all, he is a behemoth, and we need to maintain a corresponding level of formality…

With that in mind, Fang Rui ignored the other fragments of the giant beasts and the injured people nearby. Under his protection, no one was killed, but there were a lot of people who were seriously injured...

Since these people are all influential figures and someone will come to rescue them, there's no need for him to go through unnecessary trouble.

As for the giant beast fragments created by Fang Rui, they have already gone to the location of the iceberg and are guarding the various caves of the iceberg.

The core of the iceberg is where Benares is located.

Benares has not been canceled from summoning by Fang Rui and is still being maintained by Honkai energy. After talking with the Yan Kingdom delegation, the summoning can be ended.

After all, maintaining such a powerful Honkai Beast as Benares requires a considerable amount of Honkai energy every day...

After returning to the research institute, Nian temporarily stayed there. Fang Rui was reading in the lounge when Pado found him...

"The previous Honkai Beasts?" Pado didn't finish her question, but Fang Rui had already guessed what she wanted to ask.

"...It was I who summoned it, not the Honkai that descended, so you can rest assured."

"Oh~ I actually wanted to ask you why you summoned the Honkai Beasts?"

At that time, Pado was about to go out to scout out the bustling city of Lungmen, but as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a high-ranking Honkai Beast soaring through the sky, emanating an aura of Honkai energy close to that of a Herrscher. This terrified the cat so much that its fur stood on end!

"Hmm, you need to ask why..."

Fang Rui thought for a moment and replied, "At first I was angry, after all, I was being used as bait, as for what happened later..."

After thinking about it for a moment, Fang Rui replied, "I didn't think that much about it; you could say I just went with the flow."

Fang Rui shrugged lightly, not paying much attention.

He always makes corresponding preparations before summoning Honkai Beasts; people nearby may get injured, but no one will suffer serious injuries or worse.

After all, revenge is revenge, and it won't involve innocent people.

The person who is not involved is highlighted.

"Next time, could you please let me know in advance?" Pado said, feeling both frightened and uncomfortable.

"I'll try my best." Fang Rui couldn't guarantee it, since most of the times he summoned Benares were on a whim.

After Fang Rui left, Fang Rui continued reading.

On the other side, the people of Sishuitai were reporting the news and waiting for instructions from higher-ups.

Whether it's the appearance of a giant beast or the sealing of fragments of a giant beast, it's a very important matter.

It's believed that the Taiping Registrar will send people to handle this; as for other matters, it will probably take some time...

The matter of contacting the behemoth will be implemented as soon as possible.

After all, matters related to giant beasts are the top priority, and there will be no delays.

At the same time, Wei Yanwu sent out shadow guards to guard the area around the iceberg, preventing those with malicious intentions from approaching and driving away those with excessive curiosity.

However, it is difficult to stop someone who is determined.

The iceberg is so big, but the number of Shadow Guards is so small. Even with the security perimeter set up by the Royal Guard Bureau, it's all in vain.

Many people still managed to evade the Shadow Guards' patrols and sneak into the iceberg.

The interior of an iceberg is not completely solid, but contains a series of winding passages.

As for how these passages came about, the infiltrators figured they must have been dug out by the people who arrived at the iceberg first. After all, there are so many Originium Arts, so why would it be strange if one or two of them involved digging tunnels?

will not!

Thinking this way, these people did not suspect that the cave was reserved by Benares.

After all, dragons are so big, what's the point of leaving passages that are a few meters high and a few meters wide?

What's the point of keeping something that's completely useless?

"That is……"

A team of elite mercenaries, hired by a department of Rhine Labs, came to investigate the behemoth, hoping to obtain some of its body parts.

Upon receiving the mission, the mercenary group members began gathering information. After learning about the target's size, they abandoned the idea of ​​a direct confrontation.

Upon arriving at Longmen and witnessing the colossal beast's form and immense destructive power, they had even less intention of engaging it head-on.

There's no reason to abandon the mission now, because collecting the giant beast's saliva would be considered completing the mission.

There is only one way to collect the giant beast's saliva: go to the iceberg where the giant beast dwells.

As for why drones or other similar tools weren't used, it's because we didn't have any drones that met the requirements, given that the incident happened suddenly...

That's why this mercenary group appeared in the iceberg, ready to risk collecting the giant beast's saliva.

Of course, they didn't dare disturb the dragon; they only wanted to search near the iceberg to see if they could find any of the dragon's saliva or anything else...

After wandering around the iceberg for a while, they discovered a cave in the mountain wall. Upon entering, they found that the passage was winding and extended further inward...

After discussing for a while, the group decided to risk going in, and then...

Now, I've encountered a strange creature...

Its crimson body resembled flames and magma, covered with obsidian-like shells. It was humanoid, with flame-shaped eyes that stared at the mercenary group.

"I think...we made a mistake."

In the mercenary group, a burly man holding a shield, standing at the very front of the group, looked at the menacing monster and spoke in a trembling voice.

"No one can guarantee that the person digging the hole was human."

The others gripped their weapons tightly, their faces serious. "What's the use of your hindsight now?"

"Fight, or flee? Choose one..."

"The cave is several meters wide, but if a fight really breaks out, it will still be very narrow."

"Judging from the monster's appearance, it must be a fire-wielder."

The heavily armored soldiers raised their shields, staring at the fire monster. One of them whispered, "Let's get this straight, how long I can hold out depends on the temperature of its flames. If you're not confident you can take it down in one hit, my advice is..."

Chapter 525 Investigation

"Retreat first, and then use drones to probe once we reach a safe area."

Someone's suggestion is prudent; attacking an unknown creature rashly is quite dangerous, especially when the other party is clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"you're right."

The others in the group had no objections, and the group carefully retreated.

Meanwhile, Fragment of the Giant Beast Fire watched the slowly retreating crowd. His mission was to prevent those without "tokens" from entering the interior of the iceberg, so he had no intention of pursuing the intruders.

Rather, it is more accurate to say that it was catalyzed and has no normal thinking logic at all; it simply operates according to a set program, just like an NPC in a game.

After retreating 100 meters, the mercenary team stopped. One of them took out a reconnaissance drone, connected it to a portable monitor, and then controlled the drone to move towards the fragment of the behemoth, Fire...

Although it's a reconnaissance drone, it's still equipped with weapons and has the firepower to easily destroy Originium Bugs...

Apart from the person in charge of the guard post, everyone else was around the monitor, intently watching the images on it.

The monster, which appeared to be made of flames, magma, and rock, hovered in mid-air, emitting no intense heat, and the ice that came into contact with the flames showed no sign of melting.

It's highly doubtful whether it's true.

“…Projection?” someone said, and the others did not answer.

Without personal contact, I cannot confirm and therefore cannot comment.

On the other side, the "dazed" fragment of the behemoth, Fire, sensed the drone approaching, and the flames in its eye sockets burned even more intensely, drifting outwards.

Like an animal in a state of alert, it is threatening its enemy.

However, how could the drone care about "Fire's" reaction? Its goal was to test "Fire's" strength, so why would it withdraw?

Instead of evacuating, the personnel controlling the drones at the rear even increased their speed, attempting to launch a preemptive attack before "Fire" could launch its attack, and to test "Fire's" defenses...

dong dong dong...

The bullet struck the outer shell of the "fire," sending up wisps of sparks, but leaving no trace.

"This is outrageous..." the mercenaries murmured. They had never seen a creature that could withstand bullets with its bare body before, and to be honest, it was quite shocking.

While everyone was marveling at the attack, the "fire" entered a battle stance. As if adding fuel to the fire, the flames surrounding its body suddenly surged, releasing intense heat.

At that moment, the ice showed signs of melting.

The footage the mercenaries saw from the camera was distorted, as if warped from the intense heat...

The next second, a ball of fire rapidly enlarged on the screen, and then the display went dark.

After exchanging glances for a moment, one of them asked, "I think... let's retreat!"

Although the battle was brief, "Fire" had already demonstrated some of its strength.

It can release flames from a distance with high destructive power, and its own defense is not low.

They are not easy enemies to deal with, especially in caves where there is very little room to dodge.

"Let's take another route," one of the mercenaries said.

Giving up on a task that's already halfway through is really hard to accept.

"Now that we've made a decision, let's get moving, quick, quick, quick!"

"The drone attack has already alerted the enemy, and it will be troublesome if they chase after us."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately moved away...
