My neighborhood has time-traveled.

The golden dawn had just pierced the sky, casting a somber glow over the mountains and forests.

The earth began to tremble.

At first it was faint, like distant rumbling thunder.

Soon, the tremors grew closer and louder, like the stampede of ten thousand beasts, until they transformed into a deep, sweeping roar that struck the hearts of every resident of Dawn City.

"A monster is coming!"

On the wall, the evolved being on guard spoke with a dry voice, filled with fear.

He could barely hold the binoculars; at the edge of the forest at the end of his field of vision, a dark shadow surged forth like a tide.

It's not a tide, it's Behemoths!

Dozens of black Behemoths, each five meters tall, stood like mobile fortresses.

Their thick limbs trampled the earth, kicking up dust, and their scarlet eyes gleamed with cruel light.

In front of these Black Iron Behemoths were six Silver Behemoths, slightly smaller in size, with a more ferocious aura and silvery-white fur!

They are like generals leading an army, silent yet exuding a suffocating pressure.

At the very front of all the Behemoths, in mid-air, a robust figure radiating a pale golden light floated like a god!

Its two-meter-tall body and magnificent golden fur shimmered with a metallic sheen in the morning light.

He is none other than the Golden Behemoth – Rending Gold.

His golden pupils, like two burning little suns, coldly looked down at the residential complex below, which he considered as simple as a toy, but now seemed particularly obtrusive.

Behind the Behemoth Legion followed a dense, dark mass of no less than five hundred human slave warriors.

They wore simple furs, carried crude weapons, and had a numb look in their eyes mixed with a hint of driven madness, following the torrent of Behemoths like ants.

"The Behemoth Squad is here!" The patrolling team members quickly struck the gong, "Clang clang clang!!!" The sound was incessant.

The entire city of Dawn was instantly enveloped in boundless fear.

People who had just experienced a bloody battle and whose wounds had not yet healed rushed out of their rooms and onto the corridor balcony.

As they looked at the enemy, which was several times larger and more terrifying than the one they had faced yesterday, many of them felt their legs go weak and their faces turned ashen.

The children's cries were tightly muffled by the adults, but the air of despair, like cold vines, wrapped around everyone's necks.

Lie Jin hovered in mid-air a hundred meters directly in front of the residential area, his booming voice carrying undeniable authority and chilling killing intent, resounding throughout the entire Dawn City:

"You lowly insects! Listen up!"

"I, Rift Gold, chieftain of the Golden Behemoth clan, the king who rules this land!"

"Yesterday, one of you dared to murder my noble Silver Warrior Silverwing and his guards!"

"This is blasphemy against the gods! It is an unforgivable crime punishable by death!"

His voice paused, and his golden gaze swept across the trembling crowd below like a searchlight, finally seeming to lock onto a certain direction.

He knew that the human who could kill Silverwing must be here.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance, a chance to eke out a living!"

"Hand over the murderer who killed Silverwing! Now! Immediately!"

"If you bring him to me bound, I might consider only executing the ringleader and sparing the lives of the rest of you."

"Of course, from this day forward, you must serve the Behemoths as slaves for generations to atone for your sins!"

"otherwise……"

The tone of Lie Jin suddenly rose, filled with bloody cruelty.

"I swear in the name of the Golden Behemoth, I will raze this place to the ground! Not a single chicken or dog will be spared! Every living thing will be torn to shreds!"

"Your heads will become the goblets of my warriors! Your flesh and blood will become food for the lowest beasts!"

The terrifying declaration struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Hand over Li Hao? Trade one person's life for the survival of others?

A commotion arose in the crowd, and fear drove some eyes to wander.

Just then.

"Keep the change, please."

A calm yet clear voice rang out throughout the entire venue.

Everyone looked up and saw a figure slowly rise from the center of the community, flying to the same height as the Golden Behemoth, facing it from afar.

It was Li Hao!

He changed into a relatively clean black tracksuit. Although there were still some faint scars on his body, his aura was calm and his eyes were sharper.

Facing the colossal golden beast radiating overwhelming ferocity alone, his figure appeared so small, yet inexplicably gave people a sense of unyielding strength.

"Silverwing, and those Black Iron Behemoths, I killed them all." Li Hao looked at Lie Jin, his voice not loud, but every word was clear.

The golden pupils of the man suddenly contracted, staring intently at Li Hao, as if trying to see through him inside and out.

Is this the human? He doesn't seem... anything special.

But Silverwing is indeed dead.

"very good."

Lie Jin's voice suppressed his anger, "You admitted it quite readily."

He glanced down at the residents of the neighborhood. "Well then, you ants, did you hear that? The murderer is right before your eyes! Tie him up and hand him over to me! This is your last chance to live!"

His voice echoed in the ears of all the residents.

Intended to differentiate.

"Bullshit!"

A furious roar came from below.

It's Li Wen!

His face was contorted with rage as he brandished his Damascus steel machete. "Want to mess with my brother? You'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Niu Dazhuang brandished his ironwood axe and shouted, "That's right! You want us to hand over Captain Li Hao? Dream on!"

Zhang Jinfeng clenched his fists, looked up at the other party, and said, "You Behemoth beasts! You want to enslave us? Look at the corpses you left behind yesterday!"

Wang Hao, holding a megaphone, shouted to those around him, "Li Hao is a hero in our neighborhood! We'd rather die than hand him over!"

"I'd rather die than hand it over!"

All the evolved beings, as well as most of the ordinary residents, roared in anger.

The blood feud of yesterday has not yet faded, and the bodies of their loved ones have just been cremated. Now, a powerful enemy is pressing in, demanding that they hand over the leader who led them in their fight and protected them.

This humiliation and betrayal deeply stung these people who came from modern society but still retained their fighting spirit.

Death is frightening, but some things are more important!

Dignity, hatred, trust in one's comrades, and the burning desire to defeat the enemy are all ignited at this moment.

Holding a megaphone, Wang Hao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Residents of Dawn City! Listen carefully!"

"Don't believe a single word Behemoth says! They tried to kill us all yesterday! They'll do it again today!"

"Handing over Li Hao will only lead to our faster and more miserable deaths! Only by uniting and fighting to the very end can we have a chance of survival!"

"Captain Li Hao is fighting for us! We must fight for ourselves too!"

"Fight! Fight!"

The crowd was filled with indignation, and their fear was temporarily suppressed, replaced by a tragic and resolute spirit.

Looking at the ant-like resistance below, a hint of surprise flashed in Lie Jin's eyes.

He turned to look at the human slaves on his side; the insects in the small town below seemed somewhat different from his slaves.

Then it was replaced by a deeper anger.

He turned his gaze to Li Hao again, changing his tone to one of seduction and cruel mockery:

"Human, you see, your fellow human beings seem to support you."

"Unfortunately, such support is meaningless in the face of absolute power."

"How about we make a deal?"

"You, commit suicide right here, in front of me, end your own life. I guarantee with the glory of the Golden Behemoth that as soon as you die, I will immediately withdraw my troops and will not harm a single living creature in this small town."

Golden Behemoth Rift stared into Li Hao's eyes, narrowed them slightly, and tempted him, "How about it? Trading one of your lives for these thousands of lives, isn't that a good deal?"

"You will become their hero, their savior."

Lie Jin's voice was full of malice; he wanted to see this human struggle between righteousness and survival, and break down.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.

Do you think I'm like a three-year-old?

He scoffed, "The glory of the Behemoths?"

"A race that treats humans as slaves and will even turn its entire force to retaliate when its own men are killed, does it deserve to talk about honor and guarantees?"

"Your words are not even worth as much as dog shit."

"They just want to get rid of me without bloodshed, and then easily massacre the city. Save yourself the trouble with such a low-class trick."

Li Hao's face was full of mockery.

Having his intentions completely exposed, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across Lie Jin's golden face, only to be replaced by fury.

His golden pupils were instantly filled with rage, and his voice was like shards of ice colliding:

"A sharp-toothed worm! Good! Very good!"

"Since you have rejected my kind offer, then I have changed my mind."

He pointed at Li Hao and said, word by word, "I won't kill you so easily. I'll personally break your limbs, gouge out your eyes, and cut out your tongue, but I'll let you live!"

"I will hang you on the vines of the strongest tendrils in front of my tribe, where vultures will peck at your rotting flesh daily, and the wind and rain will torment your mangled body!"

"I will make you wail in endless pain and despair for a year, no, ten years! Let all human slaves witness the consequences of rebelling against the gods!"

"Now, feel the divine punishment!!!"

"roar!!!"

Liejin roared to the sky, shattering the clouds. With a sudden jolt, it stopped talking and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, rushing straight at Li Hao!

At the same time, he issued the order for a general offensive to the ground:

"Kill! Raze this place to the ground! Except for the woman and this human who must live, leave no one else alive!!!"

"roar!!!"

On the ground, all the Behemoths and human slaves roared like a tidal wave, charging towards Dawn City's fragile defenses like a black tide of death!

A great battle erupted instantly!

In mid-air, Li Hao and the Golden Behemoth, Rift Gold, collided fiercely!

"Thump!!!"

It was like the deafening roar of two high-speed trains colliding!

The shock wave, visible to the naked eye, spread out in a ring shape!

Li Hao groaned and flew backward dozens of meters, his arms going numb.

Such immense power! Far surpassing even the Silver Behemoth!

Lie Jin merely swayed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by an even stronger killing intent: "You do have some skill, no wonder you could kill Silverwing! But, that's all!"

He was faster, catching up in an instant. His golden claws tore through the air with a piercing sonic boom as he grabbed for Li Hao's head!

Li Hao activated his bio-force field with all his might, narrowly dodging the attack, and then kicked at Lie Jin's ribs.

"clang!"

Like kicking a massive, forged alloy, the recoil made Li Hao's leg bones ache, but Lie Jin only frowned and threw a backhand punch!

Li Hao crossed his arms to block.

"Bang!"

He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing hard into a 32-story residential building on the edge of the community!

"BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar!

Li Hao's body crashed through the outer wall and embedded itself deeply into the building!

The entire building shook violently, a huge dent was punched into its side, and the reinforced concrete shattered and collapsed like paper, filling the air with smoke and dust!

"Brother!!" Li Wen's eyes were bloodshot.

"Captain Li Hao!" Countless people exclaimed in surprise.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Li Hao coughed as he flew out, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his clothes torn on his left shoulder, revealing a patch of purplish-blue.

He glanced at the horrific battlefield below.

Behemoth had already rushed to the breach in the wall and was fighting with the evolved beings. Roars, screams, and explosions filled the air.

We can't fight here anymore.

The aftermath of the battle will destroy the neighborhood, and falling rocks will cause a lot of friendly fire!

He glared at Lie Jin fiercely, then turned and flew swiftly towards the mountains outside the residential area!

"You can't escape!"

Lie Jin grinned maliciously, his body trembled, and he became even faster than Li Hao, transforming into a golden light and relentlessly pursuing him!

The two of them, one after the other, quickly moved away from Dawn City and disappeared into the sky above the distant mountains and forests.
