Chapter 78: Giant Worm Beast

After crossing several streets, when they looked back, dozens of different Flying Fierce Beasts were hovering in the sky above the street where they had just fought, making clear cries, and Flying Fierce Beasts could be seen diving down from time to time. Explosions sounded from time to time, and light sometimes bloomed over the street, making everyone in the Squadron feel lucky that they had not stayed long in that place of trouble.

Fierce Beasts were actually the same as ordinary animals; they would get hungry, needed to eat, and needed to rest, and so on. The only difference was that they were extremely aggressive and possessed abilities that ordinary animals did not have. Like the Spider Beast, which could easily raze a town to the ground. The Boneback Beast, with its huge body, was like a bulldozer; wherever it went, houses would collapse.

According to current research, not all Fierce Beasts were carnivorous; there were also Herbivorous Fierce Beasts.

Undoubtedly, the genes brought by the meteorites had completely brought a biological food chain to Earth.

Although there were no casualties in the little test just now, everyone in the Squadron was an ace, so there was no room for pride; instead, there was more vigilance. Having witnessed the craziness of Fierce Beasts, they became even more cautious about this mission. Since Small Fierce Beasts could survive here, they surely had their own strengths; they just hadn’t displayed them yet.

When approaching the area near the sea, on a main road, the plants in the middle and on both sides of the road, which had originally been well-greened, had become bare.

“Stop!”

Out of vigilance, Lian Ruixue had to make the convoy stop. She stood out of the chariot, then walked onto these bare plants. She saw that many branches and leaves seemed to have been gnawed off, and the broken parts still showed some sticky liquid, which should have been broken not long ago. The plants here, whether mango trees or ornamental vine plants in the middle of the road, had all been eaten clean.

“Number 3, check it out.”

At Lian Ruixue’s call, Chen Yejun, who was sitting next to Zhou Liming, responded, then took off his coat, revealing his vest, and then displayed his black fleshy wings. With a flap, he brought up a current of air and soared into the sky. He did not dare to fly too high, but performed a low-altitude glide.

The various types of equipment on the X Squadron were very advanced. Chen Yejun’s Communicator had a camera that could transmit the images from ahead.

A small display screen was integrated into the Communicator, looking somewhat like a mobile phone screen, and it could receive the images sent back by Chen Yejun. It looked similar to a 3G mobile phone, but as the Communicator of the X Squadron, its functions and role far surpassed those of 3G smartphones.

Zhou Liming took the Communicator from his neck. After opening the Squadron channel, he could receive the images transmitted back by Chen Yejun.

Chen Yejun’s flight speed was not fast, mainly because he did not want to startle the nearby Fierce Beasts. After flying for a while, he finally discovered two huge Fierce Beasts on the road ahead. They were as tall as five or six-story buildings and were gnawing on the plants by the road. Their mouths were very big; when eating, one bite would gnaw off a small half of the tree crown, and then they would chew leisurely.

Undoubtedly, the culprits responsible for the bareness of this main road should be these two Fierce Beasts.

Herbivorous Fierce Beasts were not common, and the people in the Squadron were full of curiosity, staring at these two Fierce Beasts through the screen. Their bodies were even larger than the Boneback Beast, and it was estimated that they were the largest Fierce Beasts the group had ever seen. Looking at the scales on their bodies, thick and coarse, reflecting light under the sun, they were definitely a type of Fierce Beast with amazing defense.

The hearing and sensory organs of the two Fierce Beasts were very developed; as soon as Chen Yejun approached, they had already discovered him.

One of them continued to eat without being affected, while the other turned its head to glance at Chen Yejun and let out a few loud nasal sounds from its nose.

Chen Yejun breathed a sigh of relief and said into the Communicator: “Captain, it’s the Nasal Sound Beast.”

The Nasal Sound Beast was a Herbivorous Fierce Beast that fed on plants. The name Nasal Sound Beast naturally came from the official naming, and its main feature was that its nose could make very loud nasal sounds. Its body was huge; it was the largest Fierce Beast among the known Fierce Beasts, slightly larger than the Boneback Beast. From the currently mastered data, its defense ability was also the highest among known Fierce Beasts, and it was a Level Five Fierce Beast.

Naturally gentle in character, the Nasal Sound Beast rarely actively attacked humans or beasts, but do not think it was easy to bully. Being able to become a Level Five Fierce Beast, its ability was predictable. Once it went mad, its huge body was the best weapon, especially its nasal sound, which had an ability that could make people dizzy.

When Lian Ruixue heard it was the Nasal Sound Beast, she also felt relieved. After asking Chen Yejun to return, she ordered the Infantry Fighting Vehicles to move forward.

Of course, when they were over a hundred meters away from the Nasal Sound Beasts, the three Infantry Fighting Vehicles detoured around a bend, bypassed the Nasal Sound Beasts, and then returned to the main road.

Just as the official data said, the Nasal Sound Beasts indeed did not attack actively. When the three Infantry Fighting Vehicles passed near them, they just looked at these three Infantry Fighting Vehicles curiously, without any intention to attack. After blinking their eyes, they raised their heads to gnaw on the plants again. Their big mouths had very sharp teeth, and large trees were often gnawed by them until only the bare main trunk and some thicker branches remained.

Zhou Liming shook his head slightly. With this way of eating, with just the two of them, wouldn’t all the green plants in the whole Yue B City be eaten up by them in a few months? If there were a hundred or so Nasal Sound Beasts, it would become difficult to see even a little green in this area.

In fact, Ren Zhigang had also mentioned before that he hoped to obtain the genes of the Nasal Sound Beast, wanting to use the super defense ability in its genes to transform humans with extremely strong defense abilities, but the Nasal Sound Beast was definitely not something humans could provoke at present. Even a Missile was just scum in front of it, and there were indeed not many measures to capture it.

After moving forward on the main road for a while, suddenly Zhou Liming smelled a faint fishy stench. He frowned and looked forward.

Lian Ruixue also smelled it and became nervous as well. Possessing the Fierce Beast Gene, her strengthened senses made her feel a dangerous aura.

The street trembled slightly. On a crossroad not far away, a snake-like thing as high as a one-story building was moving slowly. Its brown body was very similar to a snake’s body. You could not imagine what a snake-like body one story high looked like; the Infantry Fighting Vehicle was only half its height. What was even more terrifying was that its body diameter reached about four meters.

As its body moved, a pile of brown liquid secreted from its body stuck to the street, and the fishy stench came from this slime.

That was not all; its body was really, really long, perhaps dozens of meters. The entire street was filled with its moving body, and it seemed endless.

It seemed to have sensed everyone, and the moving body stopped. The scales on its body began to stand up one by one. Then the nearby building shook, and a huge, extremely ugly head, somewhat like a snail’s head, appeared on the roof of a five-story building. Two small eyes emitted a frightening light.

Lian Ruixue seemed to have thought of something. Her whole body trembled, and she exclaimed: “It’s a Giant Worm Beast!”
