34: Changes in the ancient town

What exactly happened deep within Gu City Town?!

The Alien Queen transformed into a black lightning bolt, her massive body like the most loyal guard, silently blocking Lin Feng’s path. She let out a low, threatening hiss towards the core of the town.

The mental fluctuations she sent back were filled with unprecedented solemnity and a strong warning of danger, even carrying a hint of instinctive… apprehension!

Even the Gold-level Alien Queen felt threatened!

The Corrupted Wing Sound Bat Alien beside him reacted even more violently.

The Corrupted Wing Sound Bat Alien, which had been prostrate at Lin Feng’s feet, now slightly arched its streamlined body. Its bat wings, covered in viscous corrupted wings, vibrated uneasily at a high frequency, emitting a subtle hum that almost ripped through the air.

Its crimson compound eyes, already full of ferocity, were locked onto the direction from which the pressure emanated.

The secretion of mucus on its body surface was abnormally chaotic, sometimes rapidly secreting, sometimes evaporated by the restless energy within its body, emitting a pungent, strongly corrosive mist.

This was not pure low-level fear, but rather a violent resistance, originating from the xenomorph’s instinct, forcibly stimulated by the pressure of a superior being!

Lin Feng’s heart pounded in his chest. He had planned to enter the depths of Gu City Town since the start of his training, but now… if there were truly five… or even more Gold-level demonic beasts deep within the town!

An unprecedented sense of immense crisis wrapped around Lin Feng’s spine.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

The Gold-level auras constantly approaching from afar… each collision was like muffled thunder rolling across the earth, each energy burst making the elemental particles in the air become violent and restless.

Even from a great distance, Lin Feng could feel himself like a small boat in a raging storm, swaying in the tempest… Zhang Yong had clearly encountered huge trouble, possibly even life-threatening danger!

Should he disregard everything and flee immediately? Or… Lin Feng’s eyes sharpened, and he instantly made a decision.

Fleeing might save his life, but if Zhang Yong perished here, Weiyang City would lose a Gold-level powerhouse. If there were another beast tide or attack by The Fallen, Weiyang City would become even more chaotic.

He couldn't let his parents fall into danger again!

“I must investigate thoroughly!”

“Queen!”

Lin Feng called the Alien Queen.

“Conceal your aura and hide us with black mist!”

At the same time, he pointed to the Corrupted Wing Sound Bat Alien and the six Facehuggers beside him.

“Corrupted Wing Sound Bat Alien, you are responsible for low-altitude vigilance. Do not enter the depths of Gu City Town. Be ready to rendezvous with us at any time.”

“Facehuggers, hide in the shadows. If anything happens, cover me and the Queen’s retreat immediately.”

The Alien Queen’s massive head suddenly turned to Lin Feng, a human-like astonishment flashing in her compound eyes, as if she hadn’t expected her master to choose to delve deeper into the tiger’s den.

But the instinct of loyalty instantly overcame all hesitation. She let out a low response, like a muffled drum, and the layer of pitch-black carapace on her body, which flowed like a living thing, suddenly glowed with a deep, eerie light.

Thick, impenetrable dark mist, like ink breaking a dam, surged wildly from every crevice of her massive body, rapidly spreading outwards.

This black mist not only isolated light but also strangely twisted and swallowed sound and energy fluctuations. Even mental detection seemed to sink into a mire, becoming blurry and indistinct.

Lin Feng no longer hesitated. With a swift leap, he landed firmly on the relatively flat shoulder blade area of the Alien Queen’s broad, bone-spiked back.

The carapace beneath his feet was cold and hard, conveying the suppressed power within the Queen’s body.

He lowered his body, as if merging with the darkness.

“Go!”

Lin Feng’s mental command was crystal clear.

The Alien Queen, like the most seasoned stealth hunter, moved through the broken walls and ruins, her massive size making not a single superfluous sound.

The collapsed walls, twisted rebar, and shattered concrete blocks were as if nothing before her, skillfully avoided or quietly stepped over.

The Corrupted Wing Sound Bat Alien glided through the air. It desperately suppressed the violent impulse within its body, hiding itself in the dark sky. Its infrasound was fully activated, closely monitoring the movements deep within Gu City Town.

The closer they got to the depths of the town, the more frequent and terrifying the clashes of Gold-level auras became.

Finally, after passing through a section of the district that had been almost leveled, Lin Feng, with the Queen’s silent help, climbed to the top of a relatively intact five-story building ruin.

The view here was open. Below was a huge circular plaza, forcibly smashed out by terrifying power—the very center of the storm!

The sight before him made Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly contract, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his head!

In the center of the plaza, Zhang Yong, like a blood-soaked War God, wielded a longsword burning with brilliant white flames, engaged in an unprecedented bitter struggle!

His battle armor was already severely damaged, revealing the blood-stained tight-fitting clothes beneath. His body was covered in wounds of varying depths, and his left arm even had a deep laceration, visible to the bone, with blood constantly dripping.

But his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle’s, his aura like a rainbow. Each swing of his sword brought terrifying flames that tore through space, forcing back his attackers.

And attacking him were five demonic beasts, all emitting Gold-level auras!

One was a Lava Rhinoceros, as huge as a small mountain, with molten lava flowing from the crevices of its dark red rocky carapace. Each heavy stomp cracked the ground and splattered lava.

It was violently lowering its head, its lava-surging single horn aimed at Zhang Yong, launching one destructive charge after another!

One was a Metal-splitting Mantis with a slender body, its two pairs of forelimbs evolved into two massive golden scythes.

Its speed was as fast as a ghost, moving at high speed around Zhang Yong. The golden blade light wove into a net of death, each slash accompanied by a shriek that tore through space!

Behind these two Gold-level demonic beasts was a massive Ghost-Face Spider, its carapace covered in grotesque patterns.

It was not a primary melee combatant but rather perched on the edge of the battlefield. Its huge abdomen constantly contracted, spitting out large quantities of viscous, glowing green poisonous webs and venom bombs, sealing off Zhang Yong’s evasion space and corroding his protective energy!

In the sky, a giant eagle, its wings blotting out the sun, circled. Each flap of its wings stirred up tornadoes carrying sharp wind blades, and as its sharp beak opened and closed, dazzling blue-white lightning chains struck down towards Zhang Yong’s head!

The fifth Gold-level demonic beast was the most bizarre!

It had no fixed physical form; it was more like a constantly twisting, expanding mass of thick fog. Within the mist, countless illusory faces, wailing in pain and full of malevolence, vaguely appeared.

It did not directly engage in physical attacks but rather, like a maggot clinging to bone, circled Zhang Yong, emitting silent shrieks that pierced straight to the depths of his soul!

The attacks of this Gold-level Soul-Devouring Wraith were silent but more deadly than swords. It constantly eroded Zhang Yong’s mental defenses, weakening his will and reaction speed, creating fatal opportunities for the other Gold-level demonic beasts!

Zhang Yong’s tightly furrowed brows and the bulging veins on his forehead showed that he was under immense mental pressure.

Five peak Gold-level demonic beasts!

Each with different attributes, yet cooperating with extraordinary synergy, forming a perfect killing closed-loop!

They trapped Zhang Yong firmly in the center, and violent energy shockwaves constantly exploded, further leveling the dilapidated buildings around the plaza!

However, what made Lin Feng’s scalp tingle even more was that the Alien Queen had detected several equally powerful and malicious auras in the deep shadows at the edge of the plaza!

There were other Gold-level demonic beasts hidden in the dark…
