Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Crisis on All Fronts

"A large number of Blood Breath Beasts have broken into Mountain City Mountain! It’s complete chaos over there, and the defensive line is about to collapse."

The soldier reported frantically.

Hearing this, Long Ming raised his wristband and opened the Civilization Forum. He quickly found the latest video from Mountain City Mountain. In the footage, the entire lower district of Mountain City Mountain was engulfed in flames that lit up the sky.

His heart sank as he watched the scene.

Meanwhile, Modick and Farina rushed to Brubo’s and Agaka’s sides to report.

"Lord Brubo, Sinful City is in crisis!"

"Lord Agaka, the situation at Star Tower City is dire! Numerous Blood Breath Beasts have breached the defenses and are slaughtering people inside the city. Elder Fakam is furious and keeps asking how much longer we’ll be."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Brubo’s and Agaka’s faces turned grim.

Although they weren’t afraid to die and were prepared for sacrifice, that didn’t mean they had no weaknesses.

"We’ll leave this to you. We’re going to find Qiansha."

Agaka said in a low voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Farina and Modick replied at once.

Brubo and Agaka immediately broke away from the battle to find Qiansha.

They quickly ran to Qiansha’s side and asked with grave expressions.

"Qiansha, Sinful City and Star Tower City are about to fall."

"I know. Mountain City Mountain can’t hold on much longer either."

Qiansha replied, his face dark.

"How much longer until this climate device is repaired?"

Agaka asked urgently.

"It won’t be that fast. Dr. Xu Rui said three days, and it’s only the second day!"

"The problem is, we can’t hold out! Ask him for an update on the repair progress!"

"Fine!"

Qiansha picked up his military-grade wireless communication device and contacted Dr. Xu Rui.

KSHHH...

The wireless communicator first emitted a burst of static.

Dr. Xu Rui, who was frantically connecting wires, spoke up.

"Lord Qiansha, what is it?"

"Dr. Xu Rui, is the climate control device fixed yet?"

"No!"

"How much longer until it’s repaired?"

"Give me three more days!"

"Three days? Are you kidding me?"

Qiansha nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Dr. Xu Rui’s words.

Hearing this, Long Ming, Agaka, and the others’ faces turned ashen.

"I’m not kidding."

Dr. Xu Rui replied helplessly.

"Didn’t you tell me you could fix it in three days?"

"I did, but that was just an estimate. There’s a difference between ideal and reality. Repairs for a device of this level are usually measured in years, and the technical difficulty is extremely high. The time I gave you is already incredibly fast. We’re already working ourselves to death to fix it."

"But..."

For a moment, Qiansha was at a loss for words.

"I can’t talk now, I’m busy."

Dr. Xu Rui hung up on Qiansha directly.

Brubo and Agaka, their faces dark, turned to Qiansha.

"What kind of joke is this? We might not even last one more day! How are we supposed to hold out for another three?"

"What do you want me to do about it?"

Qiansha was also fuming but had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Sigh..."

Brubo and Agaka sighed helplessly.

「Royal City Ruins.」

Qian Yun swung his Giant Hammer in a wide arc. The head of a general-level Blood Breath Dog exploded on impact, its massive body sent flying before it crashed heavily to the ground.

BANG! BANG!

Numerous soldiers fired relentlessly, taking down one Blood Breath Beast after another.

Although a vast number of Blood Breath Beasts tried to intercept them, they couldn’t stop Qian Yun and his group. They carved a path straight toward the ruins of the royal palace.

Inside the royal palace plaza.

The images of Qian Yun and his men slaughtering their way forward appeared in Xi’om’s eyes. It spoke in a rage.

"Courting death! All of you, come to me!"

Instantly, twenty Lord Level Blood Breath Beasts of various forms crawled over from all directions.

But Xi’om didn’t send them out to fight. Instead, it had them all move to Hilic’s side and lie down.

Blood-colored tentacles extended from Hilic’s body, piercing into the beasts to absorb nutrients.

"Maintain the supply. I will deal with those damned ants!"

Xi’om disconnected its blood tentacles and spoke with an oppressive aura.

Although Xi’om had sent a large number of Blood Breath Beasts from the Royal City, it had been clever this time, specifically keeping twenty Lord Level beasts in reserve to temporarily maintain Hilic’s supply.

"RAWR~"

The Lord Level Blood Breath Beasts roared in response.

Xi’om floated directly out of the royal palace.

At that moment, just as Qian Yun and his men were about to reach the royal palace, all the Blood Breath Beasts suddenly stopped attacking and retreated.

"Halt!"

Qian Xing sensed something was wrong and immediately signaled for everyone to stop.

The group came to a halt.

Just then, the horde of monsters before them suddenly parted, clearing a path.

Qian Yun, Qian Xing, and the others all looked over.

Under everyone’s gaze, the Monarch Level Xi’om floated over. It looked down on Qian Yun’s group and spoke contemptuously.

"You foolish ants. To think you’d come here to die on your own."

"Arrogant bastard! Today, I’ll send you to hell to be reunited with Makari!"

Qian Yun raised the Giant Hammer in his hand, pointing it at Xi’om as he taunted it.

"You’re courting death!"

Xi’om flew into a rage, and a dark red halo erupted from its entire body.

Its body rapidly grew and swelled, transforming in an instant into a twenty-five-meter-tall behemoth. Red eyeballs sprouted from its upper body, while tentacles split from its lower half. Its entire form emanated a terrifying, crimson blood breath. Its form was identical to Makari’s, the only difference being that it was slightly smaller.

"Kill!"

Qian Yun and Qian Xing charged toward Xi’om with a contingent of elite soldiers.

Luo Lie and the others attacked the surrounding Blood Breath Beasts, buying time for Qian Yun and Qian Xing.

The red eyeballs on Xi’om’s body swiveled, rapidly locking onto the approaching Qian Yun and his men before unleashing a red glow.

ZZZT!

Beams of red light shot toward Qian Yun and the others.

Qian Yun and Qian Xing dodged quickly.

The red beams pierced through soldier after soldier, striking the ground.

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted, instantly engulfing the two and the soldiers behind them.

"AHH~"

A series of agonized screams rang out.

Just then, Qian Yun and Qian Xing burst out from the explosion.

Xi’om snorted coldly and extended its blood tentacles.

The tentacles shot toward the two like spears, aiming to impale them.

Qian Xing’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point as he dodged left and right.

Tentacle after tentacle brushed past them, viciously piercing the ground.

Qian Xing leaped nimbly, landing on a tentacle embedded in the ground, and ran along it toward Xi’om’s body.

Xi’om controlled its tentacles, sending them directly at Qian Xing.

Relying on his agility, Qian Xing continuously dodged the attacking tentacles and successfully rushed up to Xi’om’s body, swinging his sharp blade in a vicious slash.

SLICE!

A gash was instantly cut into Xi’om’s body.

GURGLE...

The biological tissue at the wound suddenly began to squirm.

Qian Xing instinctively sensed danger.

In that instant, three new blood tentacles suddenly sprouted from Xi’om’s wound and whipped toward Qian Xing.

Qian Xing immediately leaned back to dodge the tentacles and fell toward the ground.
