Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 107 Cutting Off the Fire at the Bottom of the Blade

Bai Yang stood on the seabed, sensing the movement around him. Indeed, there were no more monsters within a few kilometers.

The dragons and snakes on its body kept devouring the remains of the monsters, which were generally of higher quality this time.

After consuming approximately forty animals, his body swelled and changed again, advancing to the fifth stage!

To be fair, compared to the final sixth stage, this form, apart from being smaller and more humanoid, is probably more in line with his fighting style.

But now, there are no monsters left for him to test.

Bai Yang inquired about the current situation from Yang Wu through the mental network.

"Sir, after you went into the water, the second wave of monsters all disappeared. Only a very few monsters tried to come ashore, but we dealt with them all."

"Are there still monsters lurking around?"

"They should be gone. It's really strange that they were able to get this close this time."

"It's mainly due to the mirage dragon's abilities, but there's definitely only one of those; there won't be a second one."

After losing contact with the shore, Bai Yang returned to his original body, took out spare clothes from his ring, put them on, and returned to the island.

With the situation greatly improved, he ordered all the war gods to take turns going back to rest.

Everyone was originally prepared to work 72 hours straight without sleep, but now there's not much need for that anymore.

Unbeknownst to everyone, in the very center of the Pacific Ocean, two terrifying monsters were roaring loudly.

Thunder Dragon Emperor! Octopus Beast Emperor!

These two are the kings of all monsters on Earth!

They were in a state of extreme rage at this moment!

Because this time their offspring suffered heavy losses, some were even eaten by humans!

What an immense humiliation!

"Hong! Thor! If it weren't for these two, I would have rushed there immediately and killed that strange human!"

The Octopus Beast King waved its tentacles and complained to the Thunder Dragon King.

Although the Thunder Dragon Emperor was also furious, he still possessed a degree of rationality and advised:

"Let's forget about it. They're waiting not far from that island. If we go ashore on our own, it might be dangerous."

"Danger? What kind of danger could there be?" The Octopus Beast King was very puzzled by the Thunder Dragon King's idea.

"I have a vague feeling that these two have improved their strength. They're deliberately luring us there."

The Octopus Beast King immediately fell silent; the Thunder Dragon King's wisdom had always been superior to its own.

Since it said that, it's probably true; they definitely won't be able to get revenge.

Seeing that the Eight-Clawed Beast King had calmed down, the Thunder Dragon Emperor said, "Actually, I have a better way..."

-

Late at night on July 13, 2057, time had suddenly reached its final day.

Bai Yang sat in the base hall, which was already four-fifths complete, and could hardly believe it.

Have these monsters really given up?

As the countdown to the building's completion began, everyone felt both excited and nervous.

Such a victory is unprecedented since the Great Nirvana.

Is it really that simple to explain the arrogance and domineering nature of the sea monsters?

"Bai Yang, are you there?"

Suddenly, a message was forwarded to me by Xing Shou.

Bai Yang immediately became alert and replied instantly:

"I'm here! Master Hong, what's the situation with the monster?"

"How much time is left? It shouldn't be much, right?"

"There are only three hours left."

Hong paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"Since it's come to this point and the monsters still haven't attacked, it means they've given up. You need to be careful!"

Bai Yang was puzzled by this seemingly contradictory statement and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Those two guys are violent and gloomy, especially Lei Longhuang. They have most likely given up on the plan to take over the Changxing Island base."

However, they will likely resort to more thorough and insidious methods to save face.

"For example?"

"For example, completely destroy the entire Changxing Island! Let millions of weaker sea monsters work day and night to continuously dig the foundation of the entire island underwater!"

What can we do about this kind of attack? Are we just going to stay here and fight an endless war of attrition?

Bai Yang was surprised. That's right!

They can indeed do this!

The islands surrounding Shanghai were actually formed by silt and sand erosion.

In fact, if those monsters wanted to, they could completely level most of the world's islands!

Even Emperor-level monsters generally don't assign such complicated tasks to their subordinates.

Low-level monsters are numerous but have low intelligence; it's not easy to acquire that level of intelligence.

Bai Yang, reminded by Hong Yi, indeed had to be wary of this possibility.

He immediately contacted the support team of the action group and mobilized global detection resources. This time, the target was a group of low-level monsters.

Sure enough, anomalies were discovered in many places.

Many large, low-level monster groups on the ocean seem to be heading towards Changxing Island.

In terms of scale and number, this far exceeds the total number of monsters in the previous two instances!

Because of their lower strength, they are relatively slow and it will probably take them a long time to reach the Changxing Island base.

It would be a huge waste for a human war god to use his flesh and blood to engage in pointless battles with such a thing.

Bai Yang pondered for a moment, then asked Yang Wu, "How much of our Venom No. 13 do we have in reserve right now?"

"It's about three hundred tons."

He immediately understood; this might be enough!

"Then let's strike first! Brother Yang! I remember there was a shipbuilding base on the island before the Great Nirvana, for China's third aircraft carrier, right?"

"That's right! The industrial facilities here are actually quite complete."

"Great! You and Xing Shou discuss how to convert these existing facilities into a large-scale chemical plant. I want to turn the entire island into a production center for the monster's deadly poison!"

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he immediately went out, gathered the flight team, and began loading Venom No. 13. They then headed ahead to the monster's path to intercept and attack it.

Soon, Xing Shou and Yang Wu submitted the new chemical plant construction plan to the two martial arts schools and the Chinese government.

A new construction project has begun in an instant!

Thanks to the technological advancements achieved over the past few decades through the absorption of extraterrestrial technology, Earthlings' industrial capabilities have increased exponentially.

When developing Poison No. 13, the cost and time of its production were taken into account, and it received support from the two major martial arts schools and the entire China.

That kind of productivity would be absolutely terrifying!

Humanity's good fortune is the monster's misfortune.

The Jiangnan Base City next to Shanghai happened to be the site of the Great Rebirth, which can be considered the entirety of China.

Do not!

It could even be described as one of the world's largest industrial city clusters!

Bai Yang, leading a group of hundreds of UFO fighters, had already arrived above the beast horde.

He glanced coldly at the sea and ordered, "Dump!"

Sorry, I might have tested positive for COVID-19 twice.

We'll keep going until the third watch, but it will be quite late.
