Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 57: Crisis of Regimental-Level Demonic Beasts!

One, two, five, ten...

As Liu Zimo killed more and more regimental-level and battalion-level demonic beasts, he gradually sensed that something was amiss.

Compared to the previous life, there seemed to be an excessive number of high-level demonic beasts descending from the sky this time.

Just within the urban area of Luozhou City, Liu Zimo had already killed nearly a hundred demonic beasts and illusionary beasts at the regimental level or above in succession.

This quantity and proportion were nearly double the severity of the second demonic calamity that occurred in Sanyuan City back then!

"Damn it!"

"Why is it like this?!"

"Clearly, it's only the second demonic calamity, so why does it feel almost as intense as the third or even fourth demonic calamity?!"

Liu Zimo's expression darkened.

It was one thing for the timing of the demonic calamity to be advanced, but the intensity of the calamity had also increased exponentially.

If this continued, within three to five years, the number and strength of the demonic beasts would reach the same level as thirty years later.

At that time, would the human race still be able to resist?

Liu Zimo couldn't understand what exactly caused such a huge change that was completely different from the previous life.

Was it because the facts were originally like this, and cities like Shangjing, Longhai, and Luozhou were originally the primary targets of these high-level demonic beasts?

Or was it because his rebirth had changed the course of history, resulting in a more severe situation?

In the previous life, Liu Zimo had been struggling to survive in Sanyuan City and had no opportunity or ability to leave for other cities to explore, so he knew little about the situation of demonic calamities in cities outside of Sanyuan.

Therefore, for a moment, he was somewhat uncertain whether what was happening before his eyes was normal or abnormal.

"Boom!"

A loud artillery roar came from the direction of the XC area. The defending soldiers there had actually used large cannons for attack!

This indicated that they must have encountered a big problem that couldn't be solved even with heavy firearms or grenades. Otherwise, strategic weapons like cannons would not be easily used by anyone!

Without hesitation, Liu Zimo appeared in the XC area tens of kilometers away after a few breaths.

Floating in the air above the defense line, Liu Zimo surveyed the overall situation.

At a glance, among the densely packed demonic beast horde outside the city, he saw a giant gorilla-like beast as tall as a mountain rapidly approaching the city wall with an imposing manner!

The city wall, which had been raised to over ten meters, was only at the waist of this giant gorilla, and the ordinary demonic beasts and soldier-level demonic beasts below it didn't even reach its knees!

"Regimental-level demonic beast!"

At the moment he saw this giant gorilla-like beast, Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

It wasn't fear, but he never expected that at this time, there would already be a regimental-level demonic beast equivalent to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm outside Luozhou City!

No wonder the defending soldiers used cannons. Who wouldn't feel uneasy when they saw such a giant beast as small as a mountain for the first time?

However, what they didn't know was that once a demonic beast grew and evolved to the regimental level, it could easily withstand attacks from most modern weapons.

Especially defensive-type demonic beasts like the gorilla, which had naturally thick skin and astonishing regenerative abilities, were known as "mobile tanks" among demonic beasts. Ordinary artillery attacks couldn't even budge them.

Even human martial artists at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm would find it difficult to harm a regimental-level gorilla without the assistance of divine weapons, let alone directly kill it in a one-on-one battle.

Therefore, if there were no martial artists at the Golden Body Realm present, the appearance of this regimental-level gorilla would be an absolute city-destroying disaster for the majority of cities in the world.

"Quick! Keep firing! Absolutely do not let that big gorilla get close to the city wall!"

The military officer in charge of the defense in the XC area shouted loudly, ordering the artillery to continue firing shells.

At the same time, there were also two Iron Bone Realm warriors with golden locks on their heads who heard the sound and directly rushed into the group of beast demons, approaching the King Kong Beast head-on, intending to stop its attack on the city.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod slightly.

These two "good brothers" were indeed fearless and courageous, worthy of praise!

However, because they didn't understand the offensive and defensive characteristics of the King Kong Beast, their approach was a bit reckless.

"Roar~!"

As expected.

The moment the two approached the King Kong Beast, they were immediately deterred by its roar. Then, the King Kong Beast swung its huge arm and directly slapped towards the two.

If this palm landed solidly, even with their Iron Bone bodies, they would inevitably have their bones broken and die on the spot.

Liu Zimo didn't hesitate anymore. He raised his hand in time and a swift Xuan Yin Finger shot out, hitting the King Kong Beast right in the center of its brow.

Boom!

The brow bone shattered, brain matter burst out. In just an instant, the King Kong Beast's mountain-like body fell straight to the ground, knocking down a group of soldier-level demon beasts behind it.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but cheer in unison, their fighting spirit soaring.

The two Iron Bone Realm warriors who had escaped the King Kong Beast's sonic attack and intimidation also came back to their senses at this time, all showing a look of surviving a disaster on their faces.

"Thank you, Advisor Liu, for saving our lives!"

The two of them responded with gratitude, looking up at the suspended Liu Zimo in the sky, and thanked him loudly.

Liu Zimo nodded slightly at the two, then waved his right hand, directly absorbing the corpse of the King Kong Beast, which weighed at least thousands of tons, from a distance.

Swish!

The corpse flew over the high city wall and landed on an empty space in the city.

"The King Kong Beast is one of the few demon beasts in the demon beast horde that can be directly consumed by humans. Their flesh and blood are like precious medicine, and their skin, leather, and bones are all extremely useful. Don't waste them!"

Liu Zimo instructed the officer in charge of defending the city.

"After this beast tide is over, find a way to send this corpse to the military headquarters and handle it properly!"

"Yes, Advisor Liu!"

The officer on the city wall responded loudly, looking at Liu Zimo with endless fanaticism and admiration in his eyes.

Liu Zimo didn't stay in the XC area for long because at this time, the sound of artillery bombardment also came from the east, south, and north city districts at the same time.

Moreover, he also received a notification from a certain "good brother" going offline:

[Your good brother Li Zhicheng has had a series of misfortunes and died on the spot in a battle with a group-level Scarlet Leopard Demon. His soul has returned to the heavens!]

[The 'Thief of Heaven' innate talent passive has been triggered, and you have inherited half of the remaining gifts left by your good brother Li Zhicheng. Grappling Dragon Hand +50, Body Technique +50, Martial Dao cultivation +15, Spiritual Power +5, Soul Strength +3.]

[Your good brother Li Zhicheng has gone offline, currently available binding targets (22/50).]

Li Zhicheng seemed to be a powerful Iron Bone Realm expert from the Li family in the Eastern Region.

Unexpectedly, he became the first Iron Bone Realm warrior in Luozhou City to die!

"First a group-level King Kong Beast, and now a group-level Scarlet Leopard Demon. Everything is really messed up!"

After learning the cause of Li Zhicheng's death, Liu Zimo's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly flew towards the other three city districts.
