Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

Zhao Dayong noticed that the ant swarm's advance had been temporarily halted.

"Everyone, follow me! Retreat onto the turtle's back! Quickly!"

The eerie black miners and nearby survivors all ran up the slope onto Xiao Xuan's back until the retreat was complete.

Lin Feng stomped his feet.

"Xiao Xuan, find the queen ant."

Xiao Xuan slowly got up from his prone position, and the people who had already driven away from the camp couldn't help but look back.

The giant tortoise raised its head and let out a deep roar. Then it took a step forward, and when its huge claws landed, the mine in front of it trembled.

Immediately afterwards, countless ores rolled down the hillside and crashed into the ant colony. The huge ores shattered the carapaces of the gold-eating ants, killing them in large numbers.

Then Xiao Xuan lowered his head, opened his mouth, and swallowed the ore and the gold-eating ants together in one gulp.

Click, click.

Everyone who was still running for their lives froze. Then they saw Xiao Xuan swallow one bite, followed by another, taking in the dozens of gold-eating ants it had smashed to death. After finishing, it licked the crumbs from its mouth, seemingly quite satisfied.

"This is fucking..." A driver who was fleeing for his life slammed on the brakes and stared dumbfounded at the giant beast.

"We're still running for our lives, and it's already having a buffet!"

More and more people stopped to watch as hundreds of gold-eating ants were smashed by a continuous stream of ore and then fed into their mouths.

Lin Feng watched this scene from the city wall, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Xiao Xuan, stop playing around. Find the queen ant. Once you find the queen ant, you can eat as many as you want."

Xiao Xuan stopped playing around, pressed its paws on the ground, and then the earth began to tremble.

The mountain range, composed of numerous mines, was forcibly torn apart by a crack hundreds of meters wide. The crack extended rapidly, stretching for several kilometers in a short period of time. The mountain collapsed with a deafening roar, and rubble and dust surged up everywhere.

Deep within the mine, a complex network of passages and a dense swarm of gold-eating ants were revealed. Hundreds and thousands of these ants were startled by the sudden change and scattered in all directions, pouring out of their collapsed nests.

As soon as it showed its head, it was smashed to death and eaten by the ore controlled by Xiao Xuan.

Amidst the chaotic ant swarm, Lin Feng precisely located the queen ant, a gigantic ant seven or eight meters long, desperately fleeing with a swollen abdomen and a dark golden sheen on its carapace.

"Grab it."

Without saying a word, Xiao Xuan used the invisible power of the earth, like an unseen hand, to firmly bind the queen ant to the spot.

The queen ant charged left and right, her six legs struggling wildly, digging a half-meter-deep pit into the hard rock ground, but the binding force remained unmoved. The queen ant let out a sharp screech, and more gold-devouring ants swarmed in from all directions, trying to rescue their queen. Xiao Xuan simply pressed down with his claws, raising a stone wall that blocked all the gold-devouring ants that rushed over.

What followed was too painful to watch.

Swarms of gold-devouring ants were summoned by the queen ant, then killed and eaten by Xiao Xuan. The louder the queen ant cried out, the more delicious Xiao Xuan's food tasted.

Lin Feng's evolution points rose rapidly from just over 10,000 to over 70,000 in a short period of time, but then decreased more and more.

"Well done. Suppress it on your back. Tonight we'll hunt down a level 4 monster and upgrade our contracted queen ant."

The queen ant stopped hissing and struggling completely, as if she knew her ant colony was finished. She lay still and didn't move. Xiao Xuan let out a low cry, and the power of the earth imprisoned the queen ant. Then he flew straight towards Lin Feng and landed in the pile of ore on his back.

Those who were fleeing for their lives were completely dumbfounded.

One by one, they drove their cars back. One driver rolled down his window and said to the person next to him.

"Not running anymore?"

"Why are you still running?!" The door of the car next to them opened, and a few people got out. "Didn't you see? That turtle split the whole mountain in half, and it ate all those ants as snacks."

The people who had fled returned one after another. After getting off the vehicle, they climbed onto the roof and stared in disbelief at the mountain range that had been cleaved in two by Northern Europe.

Someone murmured, "It's safest to follow such a powerful beast... I've decided, no matter what, I'm going to live up there."

Someone nearby poured cold water on the idea: "You're just an ordinary person, can you afford it? I heard a room costs one level 1 monster crystal a day, can you afford that?"

The man gritted his teeth, "What's the big deal? As long as I'm willing to work, I'll naturally save up enough Ghost Crystals. I'll definitely go up then, and we can gather enough people to rent a room together!"

"Yes, we'll share an apartment and pool our resources to collect Ghost Crystals!"

"I'm going too, count me in!"

The convoys that had been scattering and fleeing all returned to the camp one by one and stopped. They looked up at the city on the turtle's back, their eyes filled with the hope of grasping at a straw to survive.

Just then, a booming sound came from afar.

A battered armored train approached, its body covered in claw marks, dents, and dried blood. Its headlights were broken, and its armor plates were tattered. The train slowed down and stopped at the edge of the camp.

The car door opened, and Wang Lie was the first to jump out.

He was covered in blood, but his eyes were still sharp. After landing, before he could even speak, he froze.

"This is……"

The outline of the mine in front of us has completely changed. A crack seven or eight kilometers long has torn apart half of the mountain range. Lin Feng's tortoise has grown bigger again. Its huge head with its prominent horns glanced in this direction and then slowly lowered its head to eat something.

Moreover, there were many more people in the camp whom I didn't know at all.

After Guo Yi got off the train, he looked up and glanced at the scenery.

"Holy crap... is this some kind of house-destroying stunt?"

Four days ago when they left, this was still a complete mountain, and there weren't so many people in the camp. Four days later, the entire mountain was gone, and a tortoise that had grown several times its original size appeared there, with a small town on its back.

Is this still the world I know?

Wang Lie pulled along a survivor who was running forward.

"Brother, what happened?"

The man glanced at him, then at the dilapidated train behind them, and answered quickly, "The mine collapsed, and a bunch of giant ants came out. Then the turtle demolished the mine and caught the queen ant. Now everyone is rushing over there, saying they want to live there. You're the new train crew, right? Don't hold me back, I need to go line up and register."

Wang Lie stood still, turned his head to look at Guo Yi, and then at Dong Yu.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's Lin Feng's style, he's always tearing things down!"

After holding back for a long time, Guo Yi finally said, "We've only been gone for four days, but it feels like three or four months. I thought we had already gained a lot from the Ruins Altar, but who would have thought that turtle had evolved so much?"
