Chapter 139 SOS Signal

Deep in the grass and forest.

Watching the ghost horse disappear into the distance, Shen Qing had no interest in hunting demons for the time being and planned to reunite with the others first.

However, before they can reunite, they need to resolve the immediate problems.

He turned around and looked in the direction from which the tremor came from. The giant grass was bent over by the weight of the tremors, and in the darkness, pairs of bright red eyes lit up.

Demons at least the size of tigers rushed out.

A quick glance revealed three seventh-rank demons and over ten eighth-rank demons; no wonder the commotion was considerable.

If others encountered this, let alone an eighth-rank expert, even a seventh-rank supernatural being would only have the option to retreat.

Even if they could barely win, they would probably exhaust their own strength, which would be fatal in the Spirit-Slaying Grassland.

"roar!!"

Many intelligent demons clearly share this idea.

Although they rarely interact with humans living on the Jue Ling Grassland, they have seen these two-legged creatures before, and they always run away whenever they see them.

They now have only one thought in their minds: to chase after that tempting flavor.

Those who block the way will only face death!

However, they were so focused on the taste that they ignored the enormous corpse of the seventh-grade barbarian elephant beside them.

Even the smell of blood in the air further fueled their ferocity.

Seeing Shen Qing charging towards them, the demons roared with even greater excitement.

To save time, Shen Qing immediately used his multiple arms, holding a gun in front and a bow in the back, creating a series of sonic booms.

In less than half a minute.

The surroundings fell silent, a scene of utter devastation. Limbs and severed bodies were scattered everywhere, staining the area almost entirely red, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

The sun had not yet risen; it was the darkest hour, and the scene was incredibly eerie.

Shen Qing wiped the blood off his face, took out a talisman from his pouch, lit it, and instantly a flame appeared in the sky, a signal for help.

In such dense grass and forest, finding someone is naturally not so easy. It would be better to use signals to gather people, which can also serve as a reminder.

Meanwhile, at the front-line command post outside the Jueling Grassland.

On the open ground, a huge scoreboard displayed the official score, which was increasing rapidly, having already surpassed the four-digit mark.

In the grassroots, however, the activity is more scattered and only occasionally stirs up.

"Heh, now it's quiet."

Those young supernatural beings who were previously ridiculed openly and subtly by the hook-nosed man and were furious are now finally able to hold their heads high.

Although he didn't say anything more, the glances he kept giving the other person were enough to prove everything.

However, the official leaders frowned slightly.

Military representative Liu Lin stared at the scoreboard and muttered, "It was 500 points in the first half of the night, but only increased by 50 points in the second half. Even at night, this doesn't make sense—"

There are also four seventh-rank supernatural beings among the common people. Although it is more difficult to hunt demons at night, the rate of increase is a bit too slow.

After all, just because you don't go looking for demons doesn't mean they won't come looking for you; that's not normal.

Liu Lin turned his head subconsciously.

On one side of the folk lineage, a hook-nosed man who seemed to know the situation looked at the officials' jubilant young supernatural beings and muttered a cold laugh.

"Enjoy your happiness now, because you'll be crying later."

Before he finished speaking, a firework suddenly exploded above the grassy area, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"This is a distress signal!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

In particular, to distinguish between the two teams, the distress signals from the civilians and the officials are different: one is red and the other is blue, which is the official distress signal.

"How could that be!"

"How could Deputy Director Wang and the others have gotten into trouble!"

Not only were the young supernatural beings instantly thrown into an uproar, but they were also as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Even the higher-ups frowned, stood up abruptly, and stepped out of the tent.

It should be noted that the five official supernatural beings in the series are among the top, if not the best, supernatural beings in the entire world.

They had only been there for a night when they sent out a distress signal, which was completely unexpected.

"Calling for help? We've encountered a sixth-rank demon?"

Hearing the shout, Li Jianghan, who had stepped out of the tent, frowned.

Looking at the military personnel around me who were already organizing rescue efforts, I felt that the situation was more than just people in danger.

He has already been inside and checked it out. Under normal circumstances, the demons here should not pose a threat to a seventh-grade supernatural being.

What's more, there are life-saving talismans provided by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. If we can't win, can't we just run away?

Looking at the talisman in his hand, Li Jianghan hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the team of supernatural beings who were preparing to go in for the rescue.

While the authorities were urgently organizing rescue efforts, the hook-nosed man and others couldn't help but gloat.

Some people even laughed out loud, but this time, it completely enraged the authorities.

Several young, powerful officials with wide eyes strode over, and without saying a word, punched the person who had laughed out loud, knocking him to the ground.

Blood started flowing from my nose.

"Laugh! I'll teach you to laugh! There are people in danger inside, and you can still laugh!"

"The officials assaulted someone."

Immediately, some people in the community started shouting, trying to escalate the situation and stir up conflict.

To be fair, although the authorities took action, at this time, the fate of the people in Caolin was still uncertain, and some people outside were gloating. It would be unreasonable for them not to be punished.

"Which company is it that's gloating at a time like this? They deserve it."

Even some people from the same folk lineage frowned and did not approve of this approach.

However, some people did not notice the situation here, or even if they did, they did not care, and thus they were led astray.

The two groups huddled together, pushing and shoving each other, and the scene was on the verge of getting out of control and escalating into a fight.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and a seventh-rank supernatural being from the official ranks stepped forward, followed by a loud bang.

Both sides stared at the large crater in the ground, and everyone fell silent.

"What kind of time is this? Still fighting amongst themselves!"

Just then, the giant grass at the edge of the forest suddenly began to shake, as if something was about to burst out, and a ball of eerie green flame burst through the grass.

Something's about to come out!

The soldiers stationed on the defensive line instinctively raised their guns, and some even pulled the trigger.

Ordinary soldiers have the right to fire independently when facing demons; otherwise, they may not be able to react in time, resulting in casualties.

"Don't shoot!"

But then a loud shout rang out, and upon hearing that it was a person, the gunfire stopped abruptly. The ball of green flame burst forth, and the bullets fired went straight through it.

"This is Deputy Director Shen's vehicle!"

A supernatural being from Binhai City recognized the strange horse; there was indeed a figure on it, but it wasn't Shen Qing.

Instead, he was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a tattered robe and numerous injuries.

"Uncle-Master!"

The Dragon Tiger Sect members cried out in alarm and immediately rushed forward.

Many others were stunned on the spot.

Wasn't this an official distress signal? Why are people from the Dragon Tiger Sect coming out, and they're seriously injured?
