Chapter 517: The Sudden Iron Beetle_2



"This," the person shook his head and said, "I forgot."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Even though they didn't know exactly which city it was, the name didn't really matter, because the fact was that a city had fallen, with a conservative estimate of over a hundred thousand dead.

"It's another city that fell, not ours. Everyone's scared," someone laughed and said, "Didn't our Anshan City have a beast tide outbreak yesterday? And what happened? Our Anshan City held out. If you ask me, even if it happens again, there's nothing to worry about."

"Exactly, even with so many Fierce Beasts, they didn't break through our city. They even left us a lot of beast meat."

"Yeah, we might not finish eating it even in a month."

Voices of optimism filled the area.

Many people remained silent.

Deep down, they hoped for peace and safety in the days to come, but would reality go as they wished?

"Hey? What's going on?"

Just then, someone exclaimed, looking at the ground he was sitting on, "Why does it feel like the ground is shaking?"

"The ground is shaking?"

Hearing these words, everyone's faces visibly went pale.

Yesterday's earthquake was caused by the beast tide.

This time, an earthquake again, could it be another beast tide?

"It's still shaking, still shaking!"

The person's voice grew louder, and panic showed on his face.

Because he discovered that the ground in a two or three-meter diameter where he was standing was actually rising!

This scene shocked the others as well, their eyes widened, unable to comprehend what was happening.

"What are you standing around for! Run!"

At that moment, a woman's scolding voice rang out.

"It's burrowing Fierce Beasts! They're about to come out!"

"What! Burrowing Fierce Beasts?"

"Fierce Beasts?"

"Fierce Beasts!"

In an instant, everyone fled quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the once crowded street was deserted.

"Miss, save me, I—I can't move."

The man sitting on the chair almost burst into tears.

Because not only under his feet, but quite a few distant roads also started bulging, as if something was about to break through the ground. But the surface was sturdy, making it hard to come out.

"Useless."

Wang Lingling gave him a disdainful glance, then flew over, grabbed the back of the chair along with the person, and moved them to a distance.

"Miss, th-thank you." The man, feeling his stiff legs regain sensation, thanked her hastily.

"No problem."

Wang Lingling threw him a glance, then her eyes turned incredibly serious as she looked at the main street dozens of meters away.

There, already a dozen or so bulges had appeared on the ground, each with a diameter of three to five meters. If connected together, it was hard to imagine what massive creature would emerge from inside.

"Are the people at the City Lord's Mansion just eating away? Such a big issue, and no one has shown up."

She frowned and muttered.

If Fierce Beasts were to emerge from underground in a while, would she have to step in?

Honestly, she didn't want to risk her life, especially early in the morning, but she'd promised someone that she would help if needed.

All around, many people hid in corners or inside houses, staring at that area.

It can't be, can't really be a Fierce Beast coming out from underground, right? After all, hadn't the beast tide been repelled, how could there still be Fierce Beasts, and right in the city?

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, a black insect-like Fierce Beast burst out of the ground!

It looked like a greatly enlarged rhinoceros beetle, just its size alone was as big as a truck. The pincers on its forehead were as long as an adult's arm, covered in serrated edges, and its mouth was full of teeth that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"It's an Iron Beetle!"

Wang Lingling gasped.

This was a High-level Fierce Beast, adept at burrowing and capable of attacking from unimaginable places.

As soon as it emerged, it raised eight legs as thick as an adult's arm and climbed out of the ground.

It had just come out when the pincers of a second Iron Beetle appeared behind it, another one climbed out, then a third, a fourth…

Not just here, the surrounding roads were also being pushed up, with more and more Iron Beetles emerging like mushrooms after rain.

The people hiding in the shadows were already too terrified to speak.

Imagine, if they hadn't been warned and were still standing there watching, what would their fate be?

It's no exaggeration to say those meter-long pincers could probably cut them in half in a single clip, right?

Who would have thought that going out for breakfast could end up in a life-and-death situation?

In the blink of an eye, several hundred Iron Beetles were standing on the ground, with more continuously coming out.

And at this moment, sirens blared, and dozens of armored vehicles approached from both sides of the street.

Countless black muzzles protruded from the armored vehicles, and in an instant, gunfire erupted, bullets raining down on the Iron Beetles in the middle as if they cost nothing.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

A shocking scene unfolded.

The bullets from the heavy machine guns struck the Iron Beetles, sparking but causing no real damage, only inciting their ferocity.
