Snow Wolf King: My Twin Sister Turned Out to Be a Reincarnated Empress!

128: Flaming Mountain, Vampire Bat King!”It’s quite rare to see aquatic creatures in the inland waters acting so brazenly...”

Ji Zhentian’s brows furrowed upon seeing the news of the giant crocodile’s attack on FZ City.

There was nothing he could do; the timing of this incident was simply too coincidental.

After the spiritual energy resurgence, most of these inland aquatic behemoths only hunted within their living water areas.

While they occasionally came ashore, situations like this giant crocodile directly attacking and rampaging through a human city were practically unheard of.

The most crucial point was that Mo Shanhe had just sent a message, using the excuse of frequent beast attacks to refuse the Imperial Capital’s order to conscript ability users.

Then, suddenly, an incident of a giant beast attacking a city in the Jiangnan region occurred.

Could it be that Mo Shanhe also possessed the art of prediction and could anticipate the movements of giant beasts in advance?!

Ji Zhentian rubbed his temples, sighed heavily after a moment of contemplation.

”Forget it, continue to monitor the situation with this giant beast in Jiangnan.”

”Tell Mo Shanhe to deal with this giant crocodile rampaging in Fucheng as soon as possible, don’t let it cause too much loss.”

Although Ji Zhentian knew in his heart that Mo Shanhe’s refusal was mostly just an excuse.

However, there were indeed beast problems occurring in Jiangnan currently, so the Imperial Capital’s plan to transfer personnel naturally couldn’t continue.

Otherwise, transferring personnel under these circumstances would likely incite public anger.

Whether it was the residents of the Jiangnan region or the various alliance leaders from other places, they would have other thoughts.

”Heh heh, thinking you can just take my elite personnel with a few words, that’s a bit too simple-minded!”

Mo Shanhe sneered, his eyes deep, after receiving the Imperial Capital’s reply.

Just as Ji Zhentian suspected, the attack on Fuzhou this time was not a sudden incident.

To keep his personnel in the Jiangnan region, Mo Shanhe had orchestrated this drama of a giant beast attacking the city himself.

He first sent people to directly blow up the giant crocodile’s lair and stole many crocodile eggs from within.

He even cracked open the shells of these crocodile eggs and scattered the egg liquid all the way into the river leading into the city.

His purpose was simple: to enrage this giant crocodile and guide it to attack Fucheng.

This way, he would have an excuse to refuse the Imperial Capital, and that’s exactly what happened.

Upon returning to its lair, the giant crocodile was instantly enraged to the extreme upon seeing its nest destroyed, and then followed the scent from the river all the way into Fucheng.

”Damn humans, you have completely enraged me, this time I will definitely bathe this place in blood!”

The giant crocodile roared up at the sky, utterly furious.

After entering the city, the giant crocodile rampaged wildly, and with its powerful body, the high-rise buildings along the way were almost all turned into ruins.

This surprise attack caught everyone off guard, and the unprepared Fucheng suffered a heavy blow this time.

Because they were in their own city, the ability users were hesitant to act and couldn’t unleash their full power.

The same was true for the heavy firepower of the military.

The giant crocodile was in the city; if they attacked the beast, the surrounding areas would be affected.

Powerful missiles couldn’t be used, and relying solely on some machine guns and artillery was merely tickling this giant crocodile.

The giant crocodile’s Realm was already very powerful, and coupled with its tough scales, the beast directly ignored the encirclement by ability users and the military.

Fucheng was subjected to frantic destruction, countless buildings collapsed, and there were ravines everywhere on the ground.

There were countless casualties, and finally, the giant crocodile returned to the water only after it got tired.

But at this moment, Fucheng was filled with wailing, countless civilians were homeless and displaced, and smoke and cries of pain filled the air everywhere.

As the alliance leader of the Jiangnan region, Mo Shanhe urgently held a press conference.

In front of the camera, he looked heartbroken and regretful, his eyes filled with sorrow.

He gave a speech regarding the attack on Fucheng, and finally, he shifted the blame onto the Imperial Capital.

It was clearly Mo Shanhe who, in order to consolidate his position and keep the ability users he had recruited, and to contend for power with other forces in the future, had orchestrated this drama himself.

However, in his words, it became that the Imperial Capital, in order to strengthen the defense of the Central Plains region, had transferred a large number of elite ability users from the Jiangnan region.

This led to a severe decline in the city’s defense capabilities in the Jiangnan region, making it difficult to resist when the giant beast attacked, resulting in countless casualties among the people.

The power of media public opinion is terrifying.

After Mo Shanhe’s press conference, these remarks immediately aroused widespread resentment among the people of the Jiangnan region.

”Bastards! Why should our Jiangnan region make sacrifices for the people of their Imperial Capital?”

”Could it be that the people of their Imperial Capital are inherently nobler and more important than us? Are we not human?”

”I heard that the city defense equipment in the Imperial Capital is stronger than our entire Jiangnan region combined, and they still want to transfer personnel from our Jiangnan region in this situation. Is this even humane?!”

Since ancient times, hardship is not in scarcity but in inequality.

The attack by the giant beast had already caused countless casualties, plunging everyone into deep sorrow.

Coupled with Mo Shanhe’s inflammatory speech, everyone’s resentment seemed to find an outlet.

Their anger shifted from the giant crocodile to the high-level officials of the Imperial Capital.

For a time, the entire Jiangnan region was filled with righteous indignation, verbally attacking the Imperial Capital.

”Hahahaha, this method is indeed effective!”

”The Imperial Capital still wants to weaken our local strength? Dream on!”

”As long as we win over the hearts of the people in the Jiangnan region and stir up conflicts between various regions of Yan Country, we will soon be able to directly declare independence from Yan Country!”

”At that time, I will directly govern Jiangnan autonomously, and I won’t be some branch alliance leader, I’ll be the King of Jiangnan!”

Looking at the current righteous indignation in the Jiangnan region, Mo Shanhe felt no worry but rather great joy.

To Mo Shanhe, the innocent people who died in Fucheng were merely pawns on his path to dominance.

...

Qinling Mountains, far west.

Lu Chuan followed the frantically fleeing Red Scale Snake and tracked it here.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but marvel, no wonder the Qinling Mountains are the dividing line between the north and south of Yan Country.

This mountain range stretches east to west for countless miles. The area they were in before had a humid climate, lush vegetation, and many animals.

But upon arriving in this area, the climate had clearly changed.

The air became very hot, and there were even some volcanoes in the distance.

Furthermore, in this area, the number of plants and wild beasts was much smaller.

Along the way, Lu Chuan could still see many wild beast bones left nearby.

Along this path, Lu Chuan noticed that many places in this area looked as if a fire had occurred, leaving large patches of scorched black marks.

This was quite unusual for a mountain range.

The Red Scale Snake that had been traveling ahead seemed to have decreased in stamina from constantly fleeing.

Extremely tired, it stopped to rest in front of a volcano.

”I really didn’t expect this giant wolf’s strength to be so impressive, even Big Brother Xuanwu might not be able to suppress him.”

”But if Big Brother Bat were to act, it would definitely be foolproof. No matter how powerful the ice is, it would be suppressed by Big Brother Bat. At that time, this giant wolf definitely won’t have a way out!”

The Red Scale Snake thought to himself secretly.

However, just as he was preparing for his next move, Lu Chuan suddenly appeared out of thin air.

His massive wolf claws directly pinned the Red Scale Snake to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

The Red Scale Snake desperately tried to resist but was powerless. At this moment, it could only look at Lu Chuan with a face full of terror.

He didn’t expect that Lu Chuan would have already finished his battle with Xuanwu in such a short time!

”I’ve been on the road for so long, it’s a good time to have a spicy stick first.”

Hearing Lu Chuan’s words, the Red Scale Snake was immediately scared out of its wits and quickly said.

”I warn you, Big Brother Bat is here. If you dare to touch me, Big Brother Bat will definitely not let you off!”

The Red Scale Snake still wanted to use that bat to intimidate Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan didn’t hesitate at all.

He sneered, then directly swung his wolf claw and tore this Red Scale Snake, which was at the eighth stage of the Awakening Realm, into two halves.

Immediately, Lu Chuan began to eat.

”This spicy stick is really good, the texture is crispy, and the protein is six times that of beef!”

Boom!

However, just as Lu Chuan was eating, a strange sound suddenly came from the volcano not far away.

Immediately after, countless giant bats flew out from inside the volcano. These bats were magnified countless times in size, with wingspans of over ten meters!

Appearing densely packed in the sky at this moment, there was some apocalyptic style that almost obscured the sky.

It was unclear whether the Red Scale Snake’s final roar had startled them or if they had smelled the strong scent of blood.

Nearly a thousand massive bats had now occupied the sky and were flying towards Lu Chuan.

Behind this swarm of bats, another giant bat flew out.

This bat had a wingspan of dozens of meters! It was simply a behemoth among the bat swarm.

”Is that the Red Scale Snake?!”

These bats, after the spiritual energy resurgence, also had vision in both eyes.

This giant bat immediately saw that the flesh and blood Lu Chuan was devouring was exactly that Red Scale Snake. The giant bat’s blood-red eyes were filled with fury.

”How dare you, you even dare to touch my subordinate!”

The Bat King flapped its wings and roared.

”It’s just a spicy stick, what do you want? Do you want some too?”

The swarm of nearly a thousand bats obscured the sky, almost blocking out the sunlight overhead.

However, Lu Chuan remained unfazed by this scene comparable to the apocalypse.

After sensing, Lu Chuan discovered that this giant vampire bat in front of him was merely at the Peak of the ninth stage of the Awakening Realm.

With his current strength, dealing with a vampire bat was simply too easy.

”Good! Very good! You have successfully enraged me!”

The Bat King was furious and then let out a sharp screech. Under the terrifying sound waves, countless giant bats rushed towards Lu Chuan.

These bats were extremely fast, and their distribution was very dense, making it basically impossible to dodge.

Lu Chuan had already learned on the way here that these bats carried very strong toxins. Lu Chuan understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

Therefore, he did not let down his guard and directly activated his petrification ability.

Immediately, Lu Chuan’s body seemed to turn into rock, and there was even a layer of energy film around him, which was the unique spiritual energy externalization only possible at the Restraint Realm.

For a time, a clanging sound, like blacksmithing, echoed at the foot of the volcano.

These bats continuously pounced and bit at Lu Chuan, but they couldn’t break through his defense at all.
