Chapter 637: Chapter 364: Wolf-bat creature, Chaos Crystal Barrier
Boom!!
The sound of the tremor echoed through the heavens and earth, causing everyone in the Nido Royal Capital to feel a tremor in their heart.
The void rift, which was about to disappear, suddenly expanded, spreading tens of meters once again.
Moreover.
Crackling sounds!
An ear-piercing friction sound arose, and everyone clearly saw the traces of the rift deepening, as if wisps of black mist were seeping out.
Behind the void was a dark and deep space, with the faint hint of some gigantic creature’s scale claws attacking the void barrier, attempting to cross over.
Chen Feng’s eyes were heavy, clearly sensing an intense hostility transmitted through the rift, seemingly locking onto him.
Buzz!
In a trance.
The world was dark, shrouded in mist.
The Blood Moon blossomed in the sky, and a huge creature with wings on its back emerged from the black mist, looking down at him condescendingly.
Bat-like black wings, with a wingspan unknown, over a hundred meters.
A snake-like tail, with hissing sounds and menacing fangs.
A body full of fur, resembling a wolf-like beast, standing nearly a hundred meters tall, with elongated limbs and enormous eagle-like claws.
A powerful pressure spread like a tide, constantly attacking.
Cracks appeared on the ground with crackling sounds, the rapid heartbeat echoed in the ears, and the blood vessels seemed about to burst, constantly compressed.
For a moment, Chen Feng found himself unable to move, the whole person bound by the pressure.
Moreover.
The black mist before his eyes continued to converge, like countless tentacles.
Finally, a black mask took shape.
"This is..."
As his gaze focused, Chen Feng discovered gravely that this mask was very familiar.
It was exactly the same as the mask worn by the Divine Martial Alliance Leader, which he personally destroyed.
Buzz!
In the next moment.
With the cruel gaze cast by the giant in the sky, the black mist transformed into tentacles, pushing the mask toward him.
The skin on his face stung, a chill running through his heart.
Chen Feng instantly realized why Chu Dingkun ended up that way.
He also understood why Li Chenye warned him to beware of the Evil God before he vanished.
Thump!!
Suddenly, the world resonated, the heartbeat escalated.
The powerful spiritual will once again received the support of world power, and a punch from the heavenly meteorite descended from the sky.
Boom!!
The burning Holy Flame ignited the sky, and the giant wolf-bat creature was blasted by the Sunset strike.
The rumbling echoed, forcing the mental illusion to tear apart.
The azure sky descended once more, Chen Feng’s eyes flickered, and he saw again the pockmarked Nido Royal Capital and the void riddled with cracks.
Beside him, Yang Wudi and others remained on alert, someone had cold sweat dripping down their face.
It seemed only he had encountered the mental shock just now, and then the void rift showed anomalies.
Buzz!
A massive creature, nearly concealed, retracted its scale claws, disappearing without a trace.
Wisps of black mist retreated like a tide.
The void rift, which seemed about to burst open at any moment, suddenly halted its spread, even beginning to rapidly heal.
"This..."
Han Chao and others were bewildered, while other Nido military personnel also had changing expressions, still gripping firearms, controlling firepower weapons.
"Retreated, did it retreat?"
"Is it really over?"
Everyone exchanged glances, eyes still filled with suspicion, worried about a sudden return attack from the Black Tide.
Until the rift completely healed, showing no signs of anomalies, with calmness lasting several minutes.
Only then did Yang Wudi and others reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps it really retreated."
Despite saying this, Eleanor and others dared not be careless.
After some deployment, all the surrounding troops continued to remain vigilant and armed.
Additionally, more troops and firepower weapons were dispatched.
"This Black Tide came too suddenly."
"Last time in Suo Jia City was due to the Secret Realm node, there shouldn’t be a corresponding energy node here."
Han Chao and others were puzzled and confused, with every national delegation team comprising experts, who frowned as they discussed the situation after the disaster.
Some even volunteered to assist the Nido military in setting up equipment to test for other energy anomalies in the space.
"What do you think?"
Yang Wudi asked softly, being the one among the crowd with the closest connection to Chen Feng.
They had both closely encountered the mist and bizarre creatures during the last Suo Jia City Black Tide event.
"Perhaps it’s related to Chu Dingkun breaking through the limits."
Chen Feng spoke in a deep tone, a suspicion rising in his mind.
He was almost certain that only he encountered the mental illusion impact.
Moreover, considering the situation just now, the giant strange wolf-bat creature seemed to want to control him through the mask.
His heart chilled slightly, he suddenly felt that Chu Dingkun’s so-called breaking of limits was more complicated than he imagined.
Perhaps the opponent’s blood sacrifice breakthrough was completed under the watchful eyes of the Evil God and the Black Tide?
No one could answer, and the entire Nido Royal Capital was left with the relief of surviving the disaster, along with the constant worry of a crisis ready to explode.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
More and more Nido jets and military personnel arrived nearby.
Princess Eleanor finally suppressed her inner fragility, along with General Walker, stepping forward to deploy the troops.
"The Royal Capital is facing an unprecedented crisis."
"The death of Uncle may be heartbreaking, but dealing with the disaster is the urgent matter at hand..."
After consoling words, Chen Feng glanced at the surrounding Royal Capital urban area.
Roads shattered, buildings collapsed.
Streetlight poles and cables snapped, falling to the ground, occasionally sparking flashes.
Most of this was caused by himself and Chu Dingkun, and it would require the Royal Family to intervene.
Moreover.
Faintly, he felt that the Nido Royal Capital was no longer safe, possibly leaving behind an anchor point for the Black Tide.
Evacuating the crowd might be the best strategy, but not everyone would agree with such an idea.
The future of this city, whether it will be rebuilt to its former glory or become even more fragmented, is unknown.
"I have already sent the message back to our country, and they hope we can leave the royal capital as soon as possible."
"Concerning the Black Tide, someone has been dispatched to investigate, and subsequently, there will be cooperation between the Chi General Guard and the Nido Royal Family..."
Han Chao approached and spoke in a low voice.
He had already reported the situation when Chen Feng charged toward the palace, and now the appearance and disappearance of the Black Tide was another new variable.
"Alright."
Chen Feng nodded, unsurprised.
Regarding the Black Tide, this is no longer about personal gain or loss.
Whether it is the many innocent civilians here or to prevent the future occurrences of similar incidents in their own regions, cooperation is a win-win situation.
Suddenly, the group began discussing whether to leave or stay.
During this, individuals from the Nido Military approached to communicate with them.
Noisy voices continuously arose.
Chen Feng suddenly felt a shift in perception, suddenly noticing a trace of anomaly in the spiritual link.
.....
Crash!
A chaotic darkness, like existing outside of dimension.
Rolling black fog akin to tides, enveloping everything.
A giant wolf-bat creature with wings as scarlet eyes, every flap of its wings stirring up gusts.
Black-purple varicose veins protruded within the furry flesh, resembling an aberration resurrected from Hell.
Below, one by one, non-human creatures appeared densely as if an endless swarm of locusts.
In front of them was a thick white barrier resembling a crystal wall blocking the way.
Clefts within rapidly repaired, and a huge black hexagram insignia on it was dimming quickly.
As if symbolizing some kind of failure, the giant wolf-bat creature couldn’t help but roar in anger.
Roar!!
The sound shook the heavens, stirring the ghost sea.
Because of this, the pitch-black fog surged and fluctuated, revealing more pairs of gigantic scarlet eyes opening in the deeper darkness behind it.
"Failed."
"That human seems unusual...."
"No matter... they are nothing but remnants left by Ancient Tado, let them struggle on for a while longer......"
The chaotic voice echoed, the dark fog sea surging again.
Eventually, everything vanished, leaving only an endless pitch black.
...
....
Whoosh!!
That day, the so-called international academic exchange conference ended hastily.
Some flying devices departed, yet some remained in place.
Led by Dean Qin, three experts and scholars voluntarily stayed, wishing to research the Black Tide signs with the Nido Royal Family.
Their motivation was both a burning academic curiosity and a personal interest as scholars from Chi Country.
If Chi Country encounters a similar situation in the future, perhaps having more research data could provide more methods of response.
To this, Han Chao and others naturally expressed admiration.
Apart from this.
"I just didn’t expect that Master Chen would choose to stay."
Dean Qin and others were somewhat emotional, their faces showing gratitude.
Having such a martial artist comparable to the Flying General as security naturally increased their sense of safety and confidence.
As for Chen Feng, although his expression remained calm, he was somewhat helpless internally.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to leave.
But rather, he couldn’t at this moment.
The reason is that the transformation of the Holy Shield Giant had reached a critical stage, about to conclude.
As the spiritual linker, at this moment, it was not suitable for him to distance himself too far from it.
As for the danger.
Not to mention the Black Tide seemed to have temporarily disappeared.
With his current strength and the protection of the Green Armor, he could already resolve many crises.
"In that case, Selin and I will stay as well."
Selin winked at Yang Wudi, who was biting his cigarette and nodded lightly without refusing.
Seeing through their intentions, Old Zhang hesitated for a moment, lightly coughed.
"This old man has nothing going on after returning, might as well stay a few more days."
As these words fell, the three extreme martial artists exchanged glances, tacitly not exposing each other.
Han Chao at the side smiled helplessly, realizing they wished to seek advice on breaking limits, not daring to leave Chen Feng by even half a step.
In the end, he didn’t persuade further, and the group ultimately all chose to temporarily stay.
Shaking his head, Chen Feng didn’t speak much.
Soon after, at the royal family’s arrangement, they temporarily moved into the nearby royal palace.
Stepping on layers of white jade stairs, grand and solemn palace gates stood open.
Inside, there were pavilions and waterside gazebos, rockeries and towers, layers of gray stone bricks paving everywhere.
Precious trees and flowers were planted here, with a soldier armed with a gun standing guard every ten steps, and a patrolling team of transformed people, evoking a sense of an ancient royal palace of Chi Country, heavily guarded.
"It’s really big."
Zhao Tingxiao marveled as he looked around, staying in such a luxurious place for the first time.
"Thanks to Brother Chen, otherwise we wouldn’t have the chance."
Zhou Wuren jested with a smile; if not for Chen Feng damaging the Nido Academy, they would have likely found it difficult to lodge here.
The attendants from the palace and the military caught the undertone and twitched their eyelids.
Once they had guided everyone into a palace chamber, they repeatedly reminded them not to fight.
Clack!
Finally, the door closed.
Chen Feng glanced around the room’s decor, seeing the furniture crafted from luxurious rare wood.
The cups were jade carvings, the quilts embroidered with gold thread, filled internally with some expensive fleece.
The extravagant style of the Nido Royal Family was evident, but he paid it no mind.
Only after confirming no tampering or surveillance with perception did he finally focus, gazing at the floating transparent panel before him.
Steel Bones, Green Armor, Heart of Glory....
The progress of various talents’ growth entered his eye, indeed a substantial harvest.
