Chapter 154 Natural Disaster
Chapter 154 Natural Disaster
The giant deer raised its head, staring intently at Lu Yize, or more accurately, at the storage ring that he had taken into his space.
“I don’t know what I want, but we can sense its presence. Our beasts, or rather that fourth-tier sea beast, have stagnated after advancing to the peak of the fourth tier.”
"You need some kind of substance to advance?" Zheng Mu stepped out from behind Zheng Lin and asked with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Yes, my ability tells me that I need to obtain the substances within what you call the storage ring in order to advance and, with an extremely low probability... to possess a human body."
As soon as Julu finished speaking, everyone present stared at it in disbelief, then glanced at Xiaobai.
"What...did you say?" Xian Wenrui couldn't believe it; he couldn't imagine that his brother Gou would one day turn into a human.
"Like that fourth-tier sea beast, it was originally a creature of the sea. Due to its original form, it could not exert its full potential. If it is lucky enough to have a human body after advancing, it should be able to switch between the two forms."
"Of course, this is just a guess based on my deductions using my special abilities." Giant Deer bent down and stared at the people in front of him.
"However, I came to such a far place not only to advance, but more importantly, I saw the future, the future of all living beings."
"What is it?" Sheng Xue had a bad feeling and looked up to ask.
The giant deer lowered its head, looking at this healing human, and spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest voice, "Death, the death of humans, zombies, monsters, all living things."
"They're all dead?" Xian Wenrui felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.
"All dead."
Julu's calm words left everyone present with their own thoughts, doubts, inquiries, and probing.
After a moment of silence, the giant deer scanned the expressions of everyone present, then snorted and laughed, "However, this was a precognitive dream I had before I reached the fourth rank. After reaching the fourth rank, the dream took a turn for the better."
Fan Jian took a deep breath upon hearing this, "Why are you breathing so heavily when you talk like a deer? You scared me to death."
"What turning point?" Zheng Lin pressed.
Julu stared at everyone present and said something cryptic: "The light begins in the East."
"It's talking nonsense, I don't know what it's saying, it's so strange." Fan Jian muttered casually when he saw that it couldn't explain itself clearly.
Before they could react, everyone looked up at the distant, fourth-tier fire-type sea beast spewing flames as it approached them.
The fourth-tier sea beast spat fireballs at Lu Yize. Lu Yize used his spatial ability with his left hand to block them, but Xie Hongyang, who had lost all reason, took the opportunity to tighten his Thunder Whip and whip him.
Chen Mingzhang struggled to defend himself, his hands enveloped in supernatural power, barely managing to hold back the lightning. However, his hands were pierced by the lightning, causing burns and excruciating pain.
Seeing that Lu Yize and the others were at a disadvantage, Jiang Yue rushed out immediately and instantly controlled the sea beasts that were constantly approaching, turning them all to attack the fourth-tier sea beasts.
Slower than Jiang Yue, the others joined the melee, while only the fourth-tier giant deer gazed at the sky.
Everything around was impacted by the supernatural power. The already dilapidated town was reduced to ruins, and the scattered corpses were dried into mummies before they could decompose.
Humans, beasts, and zombies fought each other, like a divine punishment striking down. Lightning tore through the sky and struck the damaged ground, causing it to crack and split open rapidly.
The earthquake shook violently, buildings collapsed, and low-level alien beasts and sea monsters tumbled to the ground and fell into the suddenly opening and closing cracks in the earth.
Within the bottomless crevice, only deep, echoing sounds could be heard.
The gloomy dark clouds resembled a rolling sea of clouds pouring down from the horizon. Thunder roared, and a violent torrent surged forth. The overwhelming cracks seemed poised to devour everything, and in an instant, the entire world was plunged into darkness.
"What is going on?"
Standing beneath the ever-approaching dark clouds, Xian Wenrui felt an even more terrifying pressure than being stared at by a fourth-tier alien beast.
Under the extreme and mutated weather, everyone present realized that whether it was a fourth-level human, a fifth-level zombie, or a high-level alien beast or sea monster, they were all just ants that could be crushed at any time when facing nature.
Humidity, temperature, lightning, and several other elements in the air are rapidly increasing.
The earth churned and with a bang, a torrent of water fell from the sky, ravaging the entire land, and a tsunami that blotted out the sun crashed down on them.
"Jiang Yue! Take control of everyone!"
Lu Yize spoke to Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue immediately understood. She manipulated everyone's minds and gathered them around Lu Yize.
To avoid giving them time to think, Jiang Yue's straightforward mind and unconditional trust in Lu Yize meant that she could complete tasks immediately upon receiving instructions without any hesitation.
She manipulated everyone to arrive around Lu Yize in the first instance. Lu Yize used his supernatural abilities to build a spatial barrier to resist the external torrent.
The moment they arrived at Lu Yize's side, Jiang Yue deactivated her supernatural powers.
Seeing the ground where they were standing open and close, Zhu Lei instantly used his earth-based power to forcefully close it back together, and forces that resisted it continued to erupt.
Beasts, sea monsters, zombies—when faced with natural disasters, all humans can do is desperately try to survive.
Thunder roared down like a torrential downpour, illuminating the dim world with purple lightning. Lu Yize's spatial barrier cracked after several consecutive attacks, and Chen Mingzhang followed up, but could not withstand more than a few rounds before the barrier formed by the two of them shattered completely.
Lu Yize immediately put Jiang Yue into his special ability space. Just as he was about to use his special ability to withstand the storm, a light-based special ability barrier rose in the sky and blocked another round of thunderstorms.
After his violent superpowers were largely depleted, Xie Hongyang regained his clarity. His eyes were no longer completely black, and his appearance returned to normal. Apart from the color of his blood, he was now indistinguishable from a human.
His actions silenced both sides for a moment.
However, this was not the time for conversation. A mudslide that rolled down not far away suddenly engulfed the strange sea beasts. Xie Hongyang, Lu Yize, and the others had already exhausted a lot of their supernatural abilities, and at this moment they were just putting up a last-ditch resistance.
As Lu Yize looked at the disaster that nearly destroyed the entire city, his expression grew increasingly grim. Nothing like this had ever happened in his previous life, and things had changed again.
The giant deer shielded all the people and beasts beneath its body, using its body to block the disaster. It stared intently at the sky, its eyes gleaming with white light.
"Fourth-tier humans, alien beasts, sea monsters, and zombies have all gathered together. This disaster seems to be aimed at wiping out our existence."
The fourth-tier giant deer's body rapidly aged and shrank, and the beast beneath it let out mournful cries.
All its supernatural powers transformed into a bright light, soaring upwards through the sky, breaking through the dark clouds, and shining into their location, gradually calming the churning thunder and earth.
Using its precognitive abilities, it gleaned a glimpse of the truth: "The convergence of power is viewed with suspicion; perhaps we were never enemies. Be careful..."
