Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 337: Chapter 126: Anomaly_1

Upon hearing Yang Pengguang’s words, Wen Yu gave him a puzzled look.

This guy... what he said isn’t wrong, but...

It’s rare to see someone who had reached Sequence Number 5 being so straightforward!

Didn’t he see Kuangliu run off to frantically harvest points?

After thinking for a long time, Wen Yu still couldn’t understand Yang Pengguang’s reasoning, so he stopped pondering the issue. Instead, he walked over to the Demon Qi Shield Generator and began to scrutinize its structure.

The Demon Qi Shield Generator stood about thirty meters tall with a diameter of nearly ten meters. Its surface was covered in complex and strange patterns; aside from these, there were no visible switches or similar mechanisms.

”The activation method for this device likely involves inputting Demonic Qi. Feng Guansheng, the Director of the Academy of Sciences, mentioned it to me,” Yang Pengguang said, offering a brief explanation, likely noticing Wen Yu’s confusion.

”Oh? You know Feng Guansheng?”

Wen Yu had met Feng Guansheng once. At the time, Kuangliu had relentlessly teased the bald old man.

Yang Pengguang shrugged. ”Before the apocalypse, Director Feng worked in Magic Capital. I used to be in the same work unit as him.”

Wen Yu nodded in understanding.

Without further questions, he pushed the Demon Qi Shield Generator, causing it to tremble slightly.

It’s heavy! Wen Yu murmured, then applied even more force.

The transporter should be able to handle it! Wen Yu decisively concluded.

Meanwhile, Yang Pengguang squinted, lost in his own thoughts.

Within less than thirty minutes, the chaos in Demon City gradually subsided.

All the Demon Fiends in Demon City had been eliminated. On average, the black vortex only produced one Bipedal Lizard every ten minutes. Meanwhile, the two Demon Realm’s Gates had unleashed a wave of Demon Fiends, but they were all unfortunately slain by Wen Yu and Yang Pengguang.

Without reinforcements, the Lethality of Kuangliu’s team of four was naturally terrifying!

A twenty-meter-tall figure approached from the distance, its terrifying size and immense power making the ground tremble with each step.

Cyclops, Star, Kuangliu, Claire, and Suzuki Masao followed close behind, all marching towards the Demon Qi Shield Generator.

”Here it is. Let’s get to work.”

At a simple word from Kuangliu, Andre immediately stepped forward. His enormous arms encircled the Demon Qi Shield Generator.

”HUFF... HA!”

A thunderous roar erupted from Andre, and the ground trembled. The Demon Qi Shield Generator, unable to withstand Andre’s immense strength, was directly pulled up from the ground!

”Huff... the weight is manageable, no problem!” Andre declared, assessing the weight in his hands.

Kuangliu nodded knowingly. ”Let’s move out. Andre, you’ll ride on the transporter. Claire, Yang Pengguang, and Suzuki Masao, you three take the lead and clear the path. Wen Yu and I will cover the rear.”

Before Kuangliu even finished speaking, Andre was already heading towards the city’s outskirts. Several low-level Bipedal Lizards that had ’miraculously survived’ charged forward recklessly, only to be crushed under Andre’s feet.

At this point, the operation could essentially be considered complete.

However, unbeknownst to anyone but Yang Pengguang, the blood-red Demon Realm’s Gate was glowing with increasing intensity. Accompanied by a faint sound, a crack slowly began to open on its surface...

”Peng Guang, I have a mission for you on this trip to the outpost treasure land Lin Haifeng mentioned.”

”What mission?”

Peng Jun slowly explained, taking a black, cloud-like object from his space ring.

”Lin Haifeng has his eyes on us now, and we can’t stay hidden for much longer. The plan needs to be moved up. After all, it’s better to strike first...”

As Peng Jun spoke, he rose from his large chair and paced back and forth in his office.

”Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3 are a major problem. Right now, apart from you and that other person, we don’t have any powerful experts capable of stopping them. And since you both have other assignments, I need you to go to the outpost treasure land and eliminate Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3 by luring them into a trap!”

”Using that thing?” Yang Pengguang’s gaze shifted back and forth between Peng Jun and the black, cloud-like mass in his hand.

Peng Jun nodded. ”Take this, get close to a Demon Realm’s Gate, and you won’t have to worry about anything else...”

”Oh, and take this. It will guarantee you make it out of the outpost treasure land alive!”

”BANG!”

The loud noise snapped Yang Pengguang out of his thoughts.

Looking up, Andre had already placed the massive Devil Qi Matrix on the transporter.

The weight of the Devil Qi Matrix caused the transporter to sway precariously for some time before it finally stabilized.

”Start it up and give it a try!”

Hearing Kuangliu, the driver inside the transporter immediately started the vehicle.

With a series of deafening roars, the transporter lurched forward at an extremely slow pace. After moving tentatively a couple of times, it gradually picked up speed...

”Success!” Kuangliu exclaimed with satisfaction upon seeing this. He turned, gave a hand signal, and everyone quickly boarded their vehicles. The organized convoy then set off into the distance.

Yang Pengguang sat in a military vehicle. He lifted his wrist to check the time, then turned his head to look at Demon City in the distance, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips as he chuckled softly twice.

Suzuki Masao, sharing the vehicle, glanced curiously at Yang Pengguang. Seeing Yang Pengguang’s expression return to its usual calm indifference, Suzuki Masao pursed his lips slightly and muttered in Japanese, ”Odd fellow.”

Just as the convoy began its slow departure, back in Demon City, the red light emanating from the blood-red Demon Realm’s Gate grew increasingly intense.

The crack on its surface widened progressively until the entire Demon Realm’s Gate swung wide open.

Blood-red light swirled within the gateway. From the distant other side, it seemed as though countless ghoulish specters were roaring madly, their cries so powerful they even caused the Demon Realm’s Gate to ripple.

Then...

A sinister head peered out from the Demon Realm’s Gate.

Its dark scales were neatly arranged. Its eyes, unlike those of typical Demon Fiends, held no murderous intent or brutality, but rather a profound, unsettling calm. Thin lips failed to conceal a mouthful of sharp teeth, and a black crystal on its forehead pulsed with an ominous light.

Arm after arm squeezed out from the Demon Realm’s Gate. The demon spawn twitched its two hollow nostrils and lightly licked the corners of its mouth.

”The aura of a Demon Lord... and the scent of Sequences...”
