NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102: Fear! Giant Creatures Approach!_2
Such a tragic scene instantly tore at the hearts of the people behind, witnessing it all.
Then one, then another, then a third...
Those who had originally planned a strategic retreat stood up one after another, charging at the giant eagle with the determination to die.
They couldn't bear to leave Li Duanda to face everything alone; that would be far too selfish and likely cause nightmares.
Just as Li Duanda was about to collide with the giant eagle, a figure suddenly whizzed past from the side, stirring up a rush of air.
The figure moved extremely fast, so fast that a trail of afterimages appeared behind them.
Looking like a phantom, they recklessly rushed towards the giant eagle.
Their sprinting speed was even faster than Li Duanda, who was a Half-Step Epic Level Creature!
In less than half a second, the figure had already reached the front of the giant eagle.
Then, they leaped high into the air and delivered a Sterilization Leg kick straight at the giant eagle.
Immediately afterward, a loud BANG was heard!
The giant eagle didn't even have time to react, unable to let out a single cry before being kicked to death by the figure.
The next second, its massive body thudded to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.
Li Duanda: "???"
Li Changxiao: "???"
Everyone: "???"
After witnessing the giant eagle being kicked to death, everyone present was dumbfounded.
What the hell! What's going on here? How did such a huge eagle suddenly get kicked to death by someone? they all wondered.
"Grandpa, is that you?"
At this moment, Su Yan's figure was blocked by the giant eagle's body. Li Duanda, thinking his grandfather had arrived, asked this.
From behind the giant eagle's corpse, Su Yan heard him.
Good grief! I've suddenly gained a grandson out of nowhere, he thought.
Thinking it over, he inexplicably responded, "Good grandson, Grandpa was delayed by some affairs and arrived late. Are you alright?"
Li Duanda found the voice a bit strange—somewhat hoarse, yet with a hint of vitality, not quite like his grandfather's voice.
However, he didn't dwell on it and curiously asked, "Grandpa, do you know what kind of creature this giant eagle is?"
Hearing this, Su Yan continued, affecting an overly serious tone, "A Clay sculpture."
Li Duanda: "???"
Seeing no response, Su Yan added, "Clay as in soil, damp as in wet, sand as in dirt, and sculpture as in what eagles are made into."
Clay sculpture?
Hearing this, Li Duanda found the giant eagle's name extremely odd and mumbled to himself, What a strange name.
Soon, those who had previously wanted to retreat all returned.
Among them, Li Changxiao, looking quite frightened, said, "Grandfather, it's a good thing you arrived in time; otherwise, my brother would have been in danger."
A few leaders from the provincial education department also chimed in, "Indeed, Minister Li, it's fortunate that you arrived in time. It was dangerous just now."
"Minister Li is still as sharp as ever! Such a large avian creature must be at least a Half-Step Epic Level Creature, if not an Epic Level Creature."
"Yet, such a terrifying beast was kicked to death by Minister Li! Minister Li truly is one of Jiuzhou's most powerful experts."
The group started praising him endlessly, making Su Yan, who was still behind the giant eagle's corpse, feel somewhat embarrassed and awkward.
Just then, a middle-aged man with graying temples flew in from above.
While airborne, he shouted down to the people below, "Is everyone alright? I encountered a Demons and Monsters incident just now, which delayed me a bit."
When the people below saw the middle-aged man—who looked to be in his forties or fifties but was actually over sixty—flying in from above, they were all dumbstruck.
"Fuck! Grandpa?"
"Fuck! Minister?"
"Fuck! What the fuck?"
In that moment, everyone present was dumbfounded once again.
What exactly is going on? If Minister Li is just now flying in, then who is the person behind the giant eagle's corpse? they wondered.
While everyone was utterly perplexed, the corpse of the giant eagle suddenly burst into flames.
It instantly turned into a pile of ashes, which then dispersed into the air and vanished.
The next moment, Su Yan, who had been behind the giant eagle's corpse, was finally revealed to everyone.
"Su... Su Yan?"
The Li brothers were shocked, never imagining that the person who had kicked the giant eagle to death would be Su Yan.
Even though he was the top scorer in this year's Nanjiang Province Evolution Department exam, how could he possibly kick that giant eagle to death with one blow? What on earth is happening?
Faced with the stunned crowd, Su Yan did not foolishly freeze in place.
Instead, he bent down to pick up a Crimson Bead from the ground, then, without another word, blended into the crowd as if nothing had happened.
After all, he had just inadvertently acquired two grandsons and was a little afraid of being accused of outrageous deception later.
Seeing Su Yan run off so quickly, the Li brothers finally reacted. Wait, did Su Yan just trick us into calling him Grandpa?
At that thought, their faces instantly darkened.
They strode toward the crowd, determined to demand an explanation.
However, before they had taken two steps, something unexpected happened.
In the floor-to-ceiling window, massive creatures suddenly appeared once again.
And there wasn't just one, but three of them!
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Unknown creatures are appearing in the window again!"
Someone quickly noticed the three giant creatures in the window and immediately started bellowing as if having a seizure.
Hearing this, everyone looked up in alarm and nearly wet their pants in fright!
In the window, three squirrels had suddenly appeared!
At first glance, they were nearly five meters tall and two meters wide, their presence overwhelmingly oppressive—far more terrifying than the previous giant eagle.
"Grandpa, what on Earth is happening? Why are there creatures inside the glass?"
By this time, the Li brothers were too preoccupied to care about Su Yan's prank and rushed to their grandfather's side to ask.
Li Tianyi, the Vice Minister of the Jiuzhou Ministry of Education, heard this and simply shook his head, saying, "Although I've dealt with no fewer than a thousand incidents involving Demons and Monsters in my life, I've never seen nor heard of anything like what we're witnessing now."
"Ah... what?"
Their grandfather's reply left the Li brothers in disbelief.
Their grandfather, known for his vast experience and knowledge, doesn't even know what's going on with these Mirror Creatures? This is utterly baffling!
At this time, seeing that everyone's attention had shifted away from him, Su Yan sneakily retreated to an inconspicuous corner and took out the spoils of battle he had just obtained from his System Backpack.
[Muddy Bead]: A Monster-Core from an ancient Clay sculpture creature. Consuming it can enhance HP, nourish Divine Sense, and also increase length by one.
I understand enhancing HP and nourishing Divine Sense. But what the heck does 'increase length by one' at the end mean? It's really puzzling.
Su Yan was somewhat baffled.
Quite quickly, as usual, several prompt messages popped up in the depths of his mind.
[Muddy Bead detected]
[Do you choose to Devour?]
[Option 1]: Yes
[Option 2]: No
[Devouring can significantly increase Qi and Blood Value and spiritual power, and it can also increase a certain length and Different Surface Fit Degree.]
Hmm? It seems there's an additional attribute to Devour? Different Surface Fit Degree? What the hell is that? Forget it. Who cares what it is? I'll just Devour it. It's not like there's anything to lose.
With that thought, Su Yan didn't hesitate and Devoured the Muddy Bead in his hand.
[Option 1]: Yes
The next moment, accompanied by a flurry of beautiful particle effects, the Muddy Bead in Su Yan's hand disintegrated and disappeared.
Subsequently, five prompt messages popped up in the depths of his mind.
[Swallowing Successful]
[HP +4+3+9...]
[Spirit +6+7+7...]
[Length +1+1+1...]
[Different Surface Fit Degree +1+1+1...]
Crap, something's not right!
As his physical attributes kept climbing, Su Yan suddenly felt something peculiar happening to his body, a strange sensation.
Fortunately, this strange feeling quickly vanished, and his body returned to normal.
Just then, several terrifying beastly roars instantly echoed through the entire stadium.
Su Yan looked up to see the three squirrels emerging from the floor-to-ceiling mirror!
