Chapter 470: The Return (2)

"Awakened beasts have appeared on the western border, and the watermelon army is fighting hard."

When this news came, rumors about the Awakened Beast began to brew within the empire completely. After all, the discovery of the Awakened Beast in the Eastern Wilderness, where An Xiaoyu was located before, was still too far away from their lives, and the Eastern Wilderness was always outside the lives of the imperial people.

And the deep mountains and old forests on the western border are the real frontiers that they have been guarding against for nine thousand years, and have been paying attention to, imprinted in the hearts of all the imperial people, and the existence that is closely related to their lives.

Especially when Watermelon Jun, one of the world's five most famous mecha armies, began to dispatch, it set off a wave within the empire, and everyone began to look forward to what kind of fierce results Watermelon Jun would achieve, which made them excited.

But before the excitement could be eager, the news was cut off.

There was no news, no communications, no video, not even a word coming from the western border, the media was silent, the people of the empire were silent, and many people did not take this phenomenon seriously, but there were still some people who noticed something different.

Someone received the goods, Watermelon-kun can almost guard the western border for hundreds of years, so that powerful alien enemies cannot enter an inch, what is the difficulty in dealing with one or two awakened beasts? Maybe it's a task that people think is too easy and don't want to spread it around? It's like a tooth beating.

Of course, some people believe this statement, and some people don't.

But can people who don't believe in this kind of argument still be able to openly express those conjectures that have brought disaster to the country and the people? Without official recognition, any statement questioning the war could bring all sorts of troublesome consequences to oneself.

So, the empire has become quieter than ever, and everyone is waiting for what kind of conclusion the official will have.

Sure enough, not many days later, a video of the battle on the western border came, and one night, quietly posted online by the official media of the Three Thousand Empire, without copywriting, without introduction, without news text, and without even a suitable headline.

But it was such a video without any text embellishment, which began to spread wildly in the empire, and almost all the citizens of the empire saw such a video, and saw those images that made them unbelievable and would not even choose to believe it in their dreams.

And the facts are thus placed in front of them, so that they cannot escape, cannot escape, cannot ignore, cannot ignore, in the face of real natural disasters, in the face of real forces of nature, all human efforts will be in vain.

As recorded in the video, the formation of fifty mecha watermelon troops became extremely fragile and vulnerable in front of the bobcat, which was almost as large as the size of the mecha.

One mech after another moved through the rocks and jungles, exploring in strict formation. Then a huge figure appeared in front of them. It was an earthy yellow bobcat eating the flesh of a crocodile.

The mecha did not hesitate to choose to follow the order to attack, and countless bullets flew in the direction of the bobcat, but this huge bobcat, at that moment, turned around lightly and agilely, and jumped onto the towering tree next to it.

Relying on the shelter of rocks and jungles, the bobcat tossed and turned, no matter how fast and sensitive the electronic guidance system of the mecha was, and even could capture the figure of the grandmaster, but in such an environment, at such a speed, it still had no effect on the bobcat.

First of all, it was a mecha on the ground, which was bitten on the back of the mecha by a bobcat falling from the sky, and only struggled to shake it twice, and was bitten off by the bobcat The hydraulic pipe and braking system behind the waist, and the hard armor looked as fragile as a plank under its teeth and claws.

The mecha pilot was taken out of the cockpit by the bobcat, raised his neck and flicked it into the sky, almost no figure could be seen, only the screams from near and far were still echoing in his ears, and the scene was only cold and silent.

The crazy attack fell on the scrapped mecha and the bobcat, and the specially prepared *** hit the tough fur of the bobcat, and it was like a rubber bullet hitting the sofa, and they fell to the ground one after another, and then, they used laser weapons, and watched the shallow layer of fur burned by the laser weapon quickly healed with the naked eye.

And the slight pain caused by such an attack also angered the huge bobcat, the second mecha, the third mecha, the mecha didn't even have a chance to retreat, the bobcat jumped horizontally on top of the mecha as if it was calmly jumping over the branches.

Every jump, among the sharp claws, will bring a large number of electric sparks and mecha debris, hydraulic pipes, armor, electronic systems, support structures, the invincible mecha in the hearts of the people of the empire, unexpectedly collapsed under the attack of this beast.

The reporter filming at the scene, when watching the continuous destruction of this mecha, finally could not bear such fear and impact, almost mentally carried the camera, picked up the pistol from the ground that I don't know from which corpse, and staggered towards the bobcat monster that was gnawing on the last mecha driver.

The reporters shouted hysterically, cursed all kinds of swear words in their mouths, the bullets of the pistol flew out, and the fire from the muzzle of the gun flickered in the camera, almost obscuring the picture.

Then, the lynx turned its head, with its large mouth stained with blood and the remains of its internal organs, and the light that came from its two eyes almost obscured the fire of the muzzle, and the image of staggering and swaying was breathtaking.

The bobcat disappeared and jumped into the sky, the camera and the muzzle of the gun instantly raised upward, and in such a short life, the only gunshot left in the video, the muzzle of the gun illuminated the huge black shadow that fell from the sky, and the crazy shouting tried all his strength.

It came to an abrupt end.

All of them were suffocated in the final darkness, and for a moment they were at a loss for what to do, not knowing where to look, not knowing what to say, not knowing how to face this cruel world, how to face such a reality.

Then everyone began to understand that the so-called human beings had never conquered this world that they called nature. Whether it is they who have defeated the alien race, who has conquered the Eastern Wilderness, or who has gone to the sky, but in the face of the power of heaven and earth, they will always be like this, suddenly helpless.

As a result, the Imperials began to panic.

What would happen if such an awakened beast appeared in a city within the empire? What should such an Awakened Beast do if it starts attacking the Empire's border defenses? If such awakened beasts are in groups, where exactly are they supposed to live?

On the third day that the video began to appear on the Internet, the whole empire began to go crazy, every day and every night, there were people who were optimistic, some people who were pessimistic, some people felt that the empire could finally defeat nature, as it had been in the past nine thousand years, while others felt that the empire was powerless.

And the empire has not made any explanation, only Xu He of the Nine Dao Pass has announced the classification level of the awakened beast and the awakened through official channels, and the awakened beast on the western border has been positioned as a quasi-predator of the tenth level.

Of course, the fact that the Awakened Beasts are not interested in humans is also announced.

This news did not bring any comfort to the Empire, and more and more pessimists began to ask how they should respond if the energy in the Awakened Beings that appeared within the Empire became attractive to the Awakened Beasts.

Should the Awakened be handed over, or should they be recalcitrant? Everyone began to hesitate in the face of this question, to hand over the Awakened, to hand over their compatriots, to surrender their fellow human beings, a move that no one had done in almost 10,000 years.

But if there is really going to be a confrontation...... The power of a level 10 quasi-predator, they have seen it, even laser weapons cannot penetrate its body, guns can't break through its tough fur defenses, and fifty mechs turn into piles of scrap metal in an instant.

In this way, the suppressed emotions gradually began to accumulate in the hearts of the people of the empire, making the whole society panic.

In the end, what saved them was a photo from the Eastern Desert of the "Eastern Wilderness Army" that was mentioned in the news like a joke.

In the vast desert, golden sand dunes, golden sunshine, everything is warm and soft, and a huge golden ball of hair lies on the sand, like a ball of glutinous rice dumplings covered with breadcrumbs fried in oil until golden brown.

In the front part of the dumpling, a soft and cute face was revealed, enjoying a comfortable nap in the sun of the Eastern Wilderness, and even some saliva flowed down from the corners of the mouth, the black nose looked particularly well-behaved, and the four round legs curled up next to the body casually.

And on the back of such a giant beast, a small figure can be faintly seen, a figure in military uniform, lying in the soft fur of the giant beast, holding a test tube with a red light in his hand.

The photo has a name.

It was called "Company Commander and Predator" by the cameraman of the Eastern Wilderness Army with a strange joke.

Whether it is said that An Xiaoyu and the predator get along so well, or whether An Xiaoyu is compared to the terrible predator, or whether An Xiaoyu is as cute as the contrast between glutinous rice, these are unknown. The Eastern Wilderness Army only knew that the cameraman was finally punished by An Xiaoyu for doing twenty push-ups in public, but the photo was not taken back.

An Xiaoyu didn't know that the people of the imperial capital and the empire were waiting for such a photo.

The news of the harmony between the commander of the Eastern Wilderness Army and the predators spread to all corners of the empire, and in these days, the people of the empire, who were restless and did not know where to be absolutely safe, were suddenly cured when they saw this photo, and for some reason.

This is an inexplicable feeling, as if, the awakened beast that brutally destroyed all fifty mechs before, has become less terrifying, at least in their opinion, it is not so invincible, and there are still people who can recover the awakened beast for their own use.

Taking advantage of this time, the Bei Huang of the Cultivator General Alliance began to act, the time has come, what good is it to continue waiting?

There is exciting news that has spread throughout the Empire.

The first Lei family's young patriarch, Lei Ziguan Shantong, led the cultivator general alliance to a total of ten grandmaster realm powerhouses to go to the western border, pointing directly at the awakened beast.

The details of this encirclement and suppression have not been made public, and the itinerary of all the grandmasters is unknown, and no one has even noticed when Lei Zi left the imperial capital, and who are the ten grandmaster realm masters who he took away.

Guan Shantong rushed to the western border with a team of ten people like this, and after notifying the watermelon army of their arrival, he began to start the first encirclement and suppression eagerly, but the result of the battle was unsatisfactory.

The quasi-predator-level tenth-level awakened beast was already able to defend against Guan Shantong's strong lightning attack, and the effect of the electric shock was negligible on its body, so the ten grandmasters could only choose to block all the heavens and the earth, and then start catching turtles in the urn.

This is also the reason why the process of encirclement and suppression this time has not been made public, because when facing the tenth-level awakened beast, Guan Shantong is not sure, but fortunately, they brought Wei Fangyuan, who is the master of the space, to be able to trap the awakened beast on a mountain.

However, at the last moment, the lynx was still covered in wounds and scorched, and took the opportunity to attack Wei Fangyuan, who was trying his best to build a spatial barrier on the side, and fled from the battlefield, not knowing what kind of place he went.

In the mountains, the Grandmaster's ability to fly could not play a decisive role, and the Lynx knew all the ways to survive in the jungle and escape routes, and soon, they lost the Lynx, and could only take the injured Wei Fangyuan and another Grandmaster with them, and leave for the time being.

The results of the encirclement and suppression were quickly reported to the Watermelon Army, and the Watermelon Army also had a headache, and wanted to call and ask An Xiaoyu how he managed to bring the quasi-predators under his command. After all, everyone saw that photo, and everyone knew that An Xiaoyu was rolling on the back of a quasi-predator, and even the star energy was in his hands, and the awakened beast did not choose to attack them.

But the dignity and persistence of the Watermelon Army still existed, and they did not ask An Xiaoyu for help. Even if they start asking for help, they don't necessarily get any useful information.

Guan Shantong began to quickly stop the second encirclement and suppression operation, and the Watermelon Army sent all the reconnaissance troops to locate the Lynx, but got bad news.

By the time Guan Shantong came to the border with the people, the Xishan ghost had already used his natural ability to suppress the lynx under the mountain peak, and the one who shot it was the Dao realm master who had already surpassed the realm of the grandmaster, which made Guan Shantong's face gloomy.

Although the other party was in the Dao realm, Guan Shantong still didn't have any fear, and directly faced the strong man of the Xishan ghost and said, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Kill in the West Mountain." This old Xishan ghost, whose skin was already purple to black, squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, but when these three words came out of his mouth, a large rumbling pressure suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

Guan Shantong snorted coldly, and a purple arc began to be vaguely wrapped around his body, confronting each other with Xishan Kill, the entire space seemed to freeze, the atmosphere became extremely tense, and the remaining grandmasters also clenched their weapons, ready to face the upcoming battle.

However, at this time, a voice came from a distance: "It was actually the killing of the elder himself, and he could still see the means of killing the elder in his lifetime, it was really in vain in his life." ”

The depression in the space disappeared abruptly, the momentum on Guan Shantong and Xishan Kill suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth, the mountain wind began to blow again, the dark clouds began to dissipate, everything began to change into the original appearance, and a figure actually came to them in a flying machine.

Gentle people.

How did Wen Liang negotiate with Xishan Kill, except for Guan Shantong, no one knew, all the people and Xishan Ghost's subordinates were dispersed, and in the end, this matter was over, and the news to the inside was that because the Awakened Beast was not interested in humans, it turned to attack the tribe of the alien race, so Xishan Ghost made a move.

Therefore, the ownership of the bobcat naturally belongs to the side of the alien race, but after the West Mountain Ghost executed the bobcat and took away the star energy in the bobcat's body, the empire won the bobcat's corpse for research. According to Xishan Kill, there is enough star energy on the human side, and what you need is a physical sample.

Wen Liangren said, well, that's exactly what you said, and the picture of the dead lynx was quickly circulated to the interior of the empire.

Everyone thought that it was the cultivators of the Cultivator General Alliance who killed this almost invincible lynx under his hands, and the Eastern Wilderness Army revealed the news that their company commander was the world-famous Shaozong, and the opening of the great world of cultivation had never had such a majestic momentum and a broad mass base.

But only Guan Shantong and Wen Liangren know that Xishan killing this person is definitely not friendly to human beings, and he is scheming and has never been untargeted.

They want to get star energy, and if they break the sky, Wen Liang people will not believe that they want to use it themselves or conduct research, not to mention whether they have the conditions to study star energy, they are originally the most direct descendants created by the Heavenly Dao, using the energy outside the sky? Isn't this a hell of a thing?

Wen Liangren didn't say anything, and went directly back to the Ministry of Supervision to resume his life.

Including Guan Shantong, Pei Hu, Guan Jue, and many years, these people can imagine what kind of deal is behind this matter, and who is in the court who is fueling the troubles, colluding with the ghosts of Xishan to obtain vested interests.

For a while, the calm imperial capital secretly re-made waves, and in this season when the summer was coming to an end, and in this season when the night began to become longer, a phone call went out from Ma Shengshi's home, and another phone call came into Xu Hewei's office from outside.

The next morning, Jiudaoguan disclosed the news that the latest star energy enhanced 200 times the power of the new energy engine model was stolen, and the spearhead of the incident was directly aimed at Ma Shengshi.

The commissioner, who had just felt that the star energy was about to reach his hands, was immediately placed under house arrest in his own home, separated by only a wall from the star energy sent by Xishan Kill, which almost made him crazy to the point of wanting to smash his luxuriously decorated home.

And at this turbulent time, An Xiaoyu returned to her imperial capital with the wind and dust of the Eastern Wilderness.
