Chapter 216, Level A [Sound Wave Manipulation]

Military camp.

Torches were planted in a circle around the camp, enclosing the pets in the middle.

Cheng Minglang sat on a rock at the edge of the camp and yawned.

"Officer Pei, the wind is quite strong tonight."

Pei Yuanheng nodded. "I noticed too. Stay alert; this is not a good sign."

Jiang Wei was perched on a palm tree at the highest point of the camp, his view covering most of the Seventh Island.

"Wait..."

"What is that..."

He frowned, pushed his Talent to its limit, and his pupils constricted slightly.

In the darkness, over a dozen figures were sprinting from the direction of the mine toward the military camp.

"Officer Pei! Something happened at the mine!"

"People are running this way, a lot of them. It must be Zhang Tianlang and his group!"

Pei Yuanheng narrowed his eyes, his tone unhurried. "Running this way? Zhang Tianlang's abilities are not weak. What could they have encountered? Is it something even he can't handle?"

Jiang Wei swallowed hard and leaped down from the palm tree. "No, Officer Pei, the point is... a woman from Chen Yu's team is also running! It's that woman called Aunt Liu..."

Pei Yuanheng's expression changed. "What?! Why didn't you say so earlier! Cheng Minglang! Gather everyone, form a rescue formation! Move!"

He took a step forward and roared at Jiang Wei, "Lead the way! Get moving!"

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment. "Oh, oh, okay!"

He really hadn't expected Officer Pei to react so strongly!

Immediately after, Cheng Minglang rushed out with three people to provide support, with Jiang Wei guiding the direction from the flank!

They ran straight toward Liu Manqing. Two Awakened grabbed her arms from left and right, almost lifting her off the ground, and retreated rapidly!

Zhang Tianlang and the others saw this scene, and their mouths twitched...

This fucking differential treatment is too extreme!

But then everyone reconsidered; this woman was from Baby Bus, so there was nothing to be jealous of!

"Thump, thump, thump, thump—"

The Blood Algae Monster came charging over!

"It's here! It's here!"

"Don't panic, this is the military camp's territory! Officer Pei is here!"

Pei Yuanheng took a deep breath. Cracks began to appear on the iron pipe in his hand, spreading like blood vessels from the middle to both ends, until the iron pipe transformed once again into a terrifying mace!

"Everyone fall back!"

"Leave it to me!"

"Clang!"

He gripped the mace with both hands, exerted sudden force from his waist and back, and swung the mace in a full arc, smashing it onto the Blood Algae Monster's right arm!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The Blood Algae Monster's momentum was checked, its body slightly veering, but that was all!

"?"

Officer Pei Yuanheng was shocked deep down; this monster's strength far exceeded expectations!

He hadn't held back at all just now, yet he could barely cause any substantial damage?

Moreover, from that last strike, the webbing between his thumb and index finger had split, and blood was dripping down the mace!

The Blood Algae Monster didn't give him a chance to catch his breath!

Its left-arm giant hammer swept over from the side. Pei Yuanheng couldn't dodge in time and could only block it head-on with the mace!

"Clang!"

This time, he was swept five or six meters away! His shoulder slammed into a palm tree, and he let out a muffled grunt!

The Lava Guardian Lizard pounced, flames erupting from its throat. The pillar of fire struck the Blood Algae Monster, causing the red vines to sizzle and burn, leaving a charred patch on the surface!

But it raised its right arm high, and the giant hammer came crashing down!

"Retreat!"

Officer Pei Yuanheng's expression changed, but it was too late!

The Lava Guardian Lizard was instantly sent flying, rolling seven or eight times on the ground, its back cut open by sharp stones!

But this was just the beginning!

The Blood Algae Monster's giant hammer slammed violently into the ground, and several finger-long algae spikes flew out!

Several pets were hit instantly and were directly half-crippled!

Cheng Minglang roared: "Pets! Protect the pets! This thing's target is still the pets!"

The military camp personnel rushed up and dragged those pets backward!

Just then, figures began to run over from the east and south sides of the camp one after another.

They were other teams startled by the sea grass tide and the loud noises.

"Big Shell! Big Shell!"

A middle-aged man ran, panting for breath, and rushed to the center of the camp. He immediately saw a crack in his Lava Snail's shell, its tentacles drooping limply, motionless.

"How did it get hurt like this! Didn't you say you could protect it well!"

On the other side, a girl was cradling her Mossy Velvet Ball in her hands; its originally fluffy body had a large dent in it!

"Ball-ball... open your eyes and look at me, don't die, please don't die!"

Others in the team also protested one after another:

"We worked so hard to mine building materials just for our pets, and what is the result!"

"His Water Bubble has eaten so many building materials, yet it can't even protect our pets!"

"I don't care how powerful he is; if my Flame spirit Butterfly is ruined, he has to give me an explanation."

Cheng Minglang shouted in a low voice: "Protect your pets first! The important thing right now is that monster; don't fight among yourselves!"

Just then, the ground shook again.

The Blood Algae Monster headed in one direction—

Zhang Tianlang's pupils constricted sharply: "The treehouse, that's the direction of Chen Yu's treehouse..."

"Water Bubble!"

"Its target is Water Bubble!"

Sun Zhiyuan, behind the crowd, took the lead in shouting: "I knew it... I knew that jelly thing wasn't right. It ate so many building materials, its energy is absurdly high; it's no wonder it attracted a monster. Chen Yu insisted on raising it, insisted on hogging all the island's building materials to feed it, and now look, the monster is here, and all our pets are suffering."

He paused, then changed his tone: "But what about Chen Yu? Is he hiding in his treehouse and not coming out? His precious pet caused trouble, and he's letting us take the hit for him?"

"His pet is valuable, so our pets aren't?"

The crowd's protests grew louder and louder; fear and sadness were being replaced by anger.

And anger needs a target.

Chen Yu was exactly that target.

Sun Zhiyuan stood in the crowd, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Chen Yu, oh Chen Yu, aren't you arrogant?

Now everyone on the island hates you. Let's see how you clean up this mess.

His Talent wasn't some B-Rank [Sound Wave Dispersion], it was A-Rank [Sound Wave Manipulation]!

He could release sound waves of specific frequencies to influence the emotions and behaviors of low-intelligence creatures!

Although he couldn't directly control the big guy, he had ways...

Over the past few days, he had discovered and cultivated a large batch of parasitic spores, allowing them to attach to the Blood Algae Monster!

And because of this, he could almost crudely control the Blood Algae Monster!

How strong the Blood Algae Monster was, he had just seen with his own eyes; it could kill a person with one slap!

Even the military camp's S-Rank Pei Yuanheng couldn't stop it!

Such a monster, in the apocalypse, was enough to crush the vast majority of convoys!

But he still didn't have the confidence... to use this monster to kill Chen Yu!

He couldn't say why,

perhaps it was because Chen Yu had never shown his true full power in front of him?

Sun Zhiyuan clenched his fists: "Forget it, my goal isn't to kill him right now anyway. As long as I make everyone on the island hate him and isolate him, I'll be able to create an opportunity sooner or later..."
