Chapter 62: Exposed

“Do I have a grudge against you?”

Zhou Liming cursed out loud. He just wanted to get to the Refugee Camp quickly, but he was targeted by this damned Flying Dragon Beast. There were thousands upon thousands of people in the whole city, so why did it have to fixate on him and not let go? Just thinking about the Flying Dragon Beast diving down from the air filled Zhou Liming with anger.

The spinning Flying Dragon Beast had an astonishing momentum. Under its high-speed rotation, it actually formed a small hurricane.

The hurricane spun down, with the Flying Dragon Beast trapped inside. When the bottom of the hurricane made contact with the street, it was as if a violent storm had swept through; people and trash were all sent flying. The green trees on the side of the street had their branches and leaves broken off under this hurricane and were swept into the mid-air, creating a chaotic scene.

Zhou Liming’s running speed was already astonishing enough, but the speed of this hurricane was even faster. It followed right behind his butt like a tornado. Wherever the hurricane went, whether it was trees or glass on high-rise buildings, everything was blown apart or shattered, then sucked into the hurricane, constantly spinning around the Flying Dragon Beast.

The people on the street, under this violent hurricane, were in a panic. Those in the center were directly thrown out and smashed into the buildings on the side of the street amidst screams.

Seeing that he could not shake off this Flying Dragon Beast, Zhou Liming made a sharp turn and suddenly dashed into a small alley nearby. In such a narrow place with high-rise buildings on both sides, the hurricane could not form much power since it could not blow down the tall buildings. More importantly, it was narrow here, so the Flying Dragon Beast, with its wings spread over twenty meters, could not possibly enter.

Sure enough, given this terrain, the Flying Dragon Beast crashed into the glass windows of the high-rise building and could only let out an angry roar before stopping.

The Flying Dragon Beast lowered its head and opened its mouth slightly. It contracted its whole body, moved its throat, and then suddenly opened its mouth. A burst of fire rushed out, spraying toward Zhou Liming below.

With the extremely high temperature, the glass of the two buildings could not withstand it at all. Wherever the fire passed, the glass was baked until it naturally shattered, and some aluminum alloy melted as well. Some office equipment inside the rooms did not even need to be touched by the fire; it spontaneously combusted under the high temperature, triggering rolling fires.

As soon as the flame sprayed out, Zhou Liming felt its high temperature. A wave of heat almost scorched his skin.

Without hesitation, Zhou Liming surged all the strength in his body to his legs, causing the frequency of his running to suddenly increase. He left an afterimage and rushed out of the alley.

The flame hit the ground of the alley. A layer of standing water on top was vaporized, and even the concrete underneath was baked into a thick layer of concrete powder under the ultra-high temperature. The sand turned into a glass-like substance under the high temperature, glistening in the sunlight.

Seeing that its flame had failed, the Flying Dragon Beast flapped its wings and rushed back into the sky.

Looking at the Flying Dragon Beast following him closely in the sky, Zhou Liming felt more helplessness than anger. Facing the high-and-mighty Flying Dragon Beast and its terrifying fire attack, everything made Zhou Liming feel helpless. With the Flying Dragon Beast staring at him, he could not lead it to the Refugee Camp; otherwise, in that open area, a single blast of its fire would kill countless people.

“I’ll give it a try and see if I can shake it off.”

Zhou Liming looked at a high-rise building with over forty floors ahead. Scales appeared all over his body, and with a roar, he entered his Fierce Beast Form. The surging power was many times greater than when he was not transformed. Just now, his figure was still visible, but in his Fierce Beast Form, he was just a faint afterimage, flashing past in an instant.

Rushing to the base of the high-rise building, Zhou Liming suddenly sprang up. After rising more than ten meters, his hands turned into claws, which he forcefully inserted into the wall of the building. Like a spider, he started climbing up the building.

“Oh my god, what is that?”

The terrified people fleeing would naturally notice Zhou Liming, who was treating the skyscraper like flat ground and climbing rapidly, on such a sunny morning.

“Is it a human or a Fierce Beast?”

“Neither human nor beast; could it be a monster bred by crossbreeding humans and beasts?”

Some people even forgot they were fleeing, and their desire for gossip ignited. Unfortunately, no one could give them an answer. Hearing the dragon’s roar that came from the beast, they forgot everything again and fled frantically. For them, whatever it was, as long as it was different from them, it was classified as a monster.

The Flying Dragon Beast was attracted by Zhou Liming’s roar. Seeing Zhou Liming climbing the skyscraper, it let out a roar and sprinted through the air toward him.

Zhou Liming had never tried such a crazy move before, actually climbing a skyscraper of over forty floors with his bare hands. The excessive excitement and madness made him unable to resist letting out sharp whistles. When he reached the fortieth floor, Zhou Liming looked back at the approaching Flying Dragon Beast, suddenly used his Bone Spur to smash a hole in the wall, and drilled right in.

The charging Flying Dragon Beast could not stop in time. Amidst a mournful cry, it smashed headfirst into the wall and plunged into the floor.

The Flying Dragon Beast that rushed into the floor seemed a bit too large for these rooms. The huge impact force smashed the conference table in the conference room on this floor, and its struggles turned the entire conference room into ruins. The walls made of bricks were smashed into holes one by one under the tremendous force of its wings.

Seeing the trapped Flying Dragon Beast, Zhou Liming sneered. He lunged forward, and before the Flying Dragon Beast could react, his Bone Spur fiercely stabbed toward its chest.

With a “clang,” the Bone Spur collided with its scales, shooting out a shower of sparks. The Bone Spur, which Zhou Liming thought was indestructible, did not pierce a bloody hole in its chest as he had imagined this time. Instead, it was blocked by the scales, only chipping off a few of its scales and causing minor injuries to the Flying Dragon Beast.

Struck by this attack, the Flying Dragon Beast felt pain and let out another dragon roar. It opened its mouth…

“Damn it!”

How could Zhou Liming not know what it was going to do? In this narrow space, if it sprayed fire, ten of him wouldn’t be enough to burn.

Making a prompt decision, Zhou Liming turned and ran. He ignored the hard walls completely, smashed right through them, creating a human-shaped hole, and ran horizontally through the floor.

Seeing Zhou Liming trying to run, the Flying Dragon Beast stopped breathing fire and struggled violently. Its massive power allowed it to squeeze through this narrow floor. Its abdomen and back rubbed against the floor levels above and below, and even the hard concrete was cracked by the friction. The places it passed were a mess, everything turning to powder.

However, crossing the entire high-rise building was not an easy task. Especially when between two pillars, its massive body got stuck directly between them.

“Roar… Roar roar… Roar…”

Angry roars followed, and then flames sprayed out, setting the entire floor on fire.

But by this time, Zhou Liming had already crossed through. Without hesitation, he slid down against the glass. When he was near the bottom of the building, he inserted his Bone Spur into the wall, using friction to stop his fall. Then, with a mid-air flip, he landed on the street and sprinted wildly toward the Refugee Camp again.

“Interesting!”

Lian Ruixue, who was hovering in the air in the distance, hugged her chest as she watched the running Zhou Liming. She revealed a hint of surprise, then returned to her cold expression. The purple wings on her back flapped, and she shot up into the sky, heading toward the Frontline where the battle was still raging.
