98: Showing God in public
The Centipede King, completely unaware of Chen Ming's terror, opened its massive, foul-smelling, intensely pungent abyss-like mouth.
Without hesitation, it surged towards Chen Ming.
As Chen Ming opened his fingers, a golden lightning spear composed entirely of lightning quickly formed in his hand, constructing the spear's tail and tip.
Tiny electric patterns continuously spread outwards, flashing erratically and crackling.
Immediately, Chen Ming aimed at the Centipede King's nearby large mouth and threw with all his might.
Boom!
Endless lightning power was unleashed at this moment.
Bang! Splat!
The spear pierced through, shattering the Centipede King's head, sending flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
The lightning spear did not leave the Centipede King, but transformed into a surge of lightning power, surging wildly within its body from head to tail.
The moment its massive body crashed down, stirring up a considerable splash of bloody water.
A panel prompt immediately popped up in front of Chen Ming: [Giant Centipede King kill successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Silver Treasure Chest +5!]
"As expected, it didn't meet the standard for a Gold Treasure Chest?"
He had expected it, so he wasn't too disappointed.
He sniffed.
"Where is that smell of roasted meat coming from?"
Chen Ming turned his head and saw that wisps of white smoke were rising from the seams connecting the Centipede King's shell armor, and the smell of meat was coming from inside.
This showed how powerful that lightning spear was!
[Extracting...]
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Undead Servant: Giant Centipede King +1!]
As soon as the Undead Extraction was completed, the portal appeared right after.
This time, Chen Ming was very sure that the end of the portal led to the human world.
The size was appropriate, and the color had changed to the blue of the sea and sky.
Unlike the giant blood-red portal, which visually gave off considerable pressure.
Everything that should be taken, everything that should be killed, nothing was left; staying here any longer was meaningless.
Without any hesitation, Chen Ming strode into the portal.
In the blink of an eye, he was back at the Chen Ming station.
The scene hadn't changed, but the atmosphere had become much more normal.
The only corpse left at the scene was that of the well-equipped fugitive who had tried to ambush him earlier.
"Do corpses return to reality after clearing a Calamity Secret Realm?" Chen Ming started walking over.
He wasn't concerned about whether the Man was dead or not, but rather that the equipment on him shouldn't be wasted.
They could still be used after being cleaned.
He put his finger under the Man's nose to confirm he was completely dead.
Chen Ming took off the gun, the bullets, and the most important item, the night vision device.
Even now, he still didn't have the opportunity to access such high-tech equipment.
Afterwards, Chen Ming went back up the stairs and returned to the surface world.
The sound of braking reached his ears from the right.
"Hey! Are you a survivor? Hurry over, we'll take you to the safe zone, the Zombie tide is coming!"
Chen Ming turned his head and saw that the person shouting at him was a fully armed Special Ops Soldiers soldier.
Chen Ming appreciated the good intention.
However, a safe zone? No need.
Chen Ming had his own shelter.
Boom!
The sound of wings spreading was huge; Chen Ming released the Calamity Dragon from the Shadow World.
"A dragon!"
The Special Ops Soldiers soldier was greatly frightened, his voice becoming much sharper.
Then, what surprised him even more was that the dragon actually lowered its head voluntarily, seemingly expressing submission to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming also leaped onto the dragon's head without hesitation.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
...
Just as Chen Ming was about to order the Calamity Dragon to take off and return to Fushan Residence villa.
Messy footsteps and the familiar low growls of Zombies reached his ears.
Turning his head, he saw a horde of Zombies, like a bursting flood, numbering over a thousand, with blood-red eyes, entering a berserk state due to the night, rushing into view!
Both the number and the momentum were terrifying.
If Chen Ming wasn't mistaken, the target being chased and hunted by the horde of Zombies was likely those few Special Ops Soldiers soldiers.
Seeing as they were serving the country and the people, facing an urgent situation, and were still willing to risk stopping to give him a ride.
Chen Ming reciprocated the kindness and signaled the Calamity Dragon.
'Burn!'
Boom!!
The Calamity Dragon was very obedient, opening its mouth and spewing out a thick, fierce flame.
The fire instantly illuminated the entire street, igniting a scorching sea of fire.
The Zombies became the best fuel.
[Zombie kill successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +1!]
[Zombie kill successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +1!]
...
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great; after all, one was worth a Gold Treasure Chest, while the other was only worth a wood treasure box.
The thousands of Zombies were burned cleanly in just a few seconds.
[Extracting...]
[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Undead Servant: Zombie +1344!]
After dealing with all the Zombies, the Calamity Dragon spread its wings, ascended into the sky, broke through the clouds, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The few Special Ops Soldiers soldiers got out of the car, looked at the small number of remaining burning Zombie corpses in front of them, and then looked up at the large hole broken through the clouds.
"Gulp!" They all made a swallowing motion.
"If I'm not mistaken, that dragon just now seemed to be acting according to his commands?"
"Be more confident, remove 'seemed to be'. Haven't you seen the news? In this world, the Hunter profession of Dragon Rider has existed for a long time."
"Every day is either spent on search and rescue or on the way to search and rescue, where would I have time to look at those things? But Hunters are really strong! When can we..." He trailed off.
"Don't worry, now that the Hunter Alliance has been established, Ten Thousand Realms Fishing for everyone is only a matter of time. Haven't some places already started experimenting?"
"Sigh, how great would it be if monsters weren't fished out from inside?"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. You wouldn't want to always fish out a pile of junk, right?"
"That's true."
...
After finishing their discussion and feeling grateful for Chen Ming's righteous action, the few Special Ops Soldiers soldiers returned to their car and continued moving towards the next coordinate point, searching for and relocating trapped personnel.
After completing this mission, they would get three hours of rest.
There were no complaints, only because they cared about the country and had a mission to fulfill!
In an instant.
The giant dragon landed.
Chen Ming's figure flickered, and his feet landed.
Short-distance displacement not only allowed Chen Ming to dodge attacks more effectively during fights with monsters but also had many wonderful uses in daily life.
Back at the villa, lying on the sofa, he felt a bit physically and mentally exhausted after the day's experiences.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual with Qing Yun Ice Dragon and Bai Yuan, who, contrary to the general public, were still chasing and slaughtering Zombies, Chen Ming felt relieved.
He simply washed up and went back to bed.
Looking at their stance, if he didn't speak, they would most likely not return voluntarily.
Born killing machines!
Chen Ming took out his phone, not planning to fish.
Thinking of watching something to pass the time and cultivate drowsiness, there was no need to keep his nerves constantly tense.
Such as live streams.
He had seen relevant news on the forums before, saying that recently, it had become popular to live stream the entire fishing process after the fishing attempts were reset at midnight.
The popularity seemed quite high.
Chen Ming wanted to know what the Ten Thousand Realms Fishing experience was like for others after the novice period ended.
