56: The bloodthirsty Fury of Storm!

In the Northwest, within the endless, barren desert, the scorching sun blazed overhead.

This place was rarely visited, with little rainfall year-round, resulting in scarce life, and even humans seldom set foot here.

However, a type of raptor lived here, surviving on the snakes, insects, rats, and ants of the desert. And ever since the blood rain, one of these giant birds had fortunately undergone a mutation.

Now, the entire endless desert was its territory.

"Caw!"

At this moment, the giant bird flew across the sky. Wherever it went, yellow sand billowed, and strong winds howled. With its cry, a terrifying tornado instantly formed.

Where the strong winds passed, sand flew, and a sky-darkening dust storm, like a terrifying tsunami, swept towards a nearby village.

"Delicious humans!"

In the giant bird's sight, the silhouette of a human village had already appeared, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed in its eyes.

It was the Storm Fury, one of the four great Beast Kings in the eyes of humans.

During this period, relying on the desolate desert and its absolute control over this land, it was almost traceless.

Although the armed forces of nearby cities had organized manpower several times to clear it out, each time they either returned defeated or were unable to find it.

Gradually, it became increasingly bloodthirsty, actively instigating trouble and attacking human villages across the desert.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The tornado moved extremely fast, directly sweeping up everything in its path, throwing it high into the air, and then letting it fall heavily.

"Run!"

"It's the Storm Fury!"

"That beast is here again!"

In the village, some humans were originally observing the tornado, reinforcing their houses before it arrived to prevent severe damage. But suddenly, they discovered the massive, brutal giant bird, attacking alongside the tornado. They immediately warned the others in terror, "Don't worry about the houses, get out of here quickly!"

At once, the villagers all came out of their houses, looking over with expressions of horror.

"Hurry up and go!"

Seeing everyone still frozen in place, the village chief immediately roared, directly urging everyone to leave quickly.

Rumble—

But by this time, it was too late to run.

The extremely destructive tornado, as soon as it appeared, destroyed all the houses in the village.

Broken rooftops, and the remnants of doors and windows, rose high into the sky with the strong winds. Sand grains, like bullets, hit the house debris with popping sounds.

"Mommy, I'm scared—"

At this moment, a little girl huddled in a corner, burying her head in her knees, crying in extreme terror.

The panicked people no longer had time to care about others.

They became chaotic, crashing into things, making everything a mess.

"Ah..."

"Help!"

Suddenly, a frail villager was swept up by the tornado and flew towards the sky. As soon as he opened his mouth to call out, his throat was filled with countless yellow sands, unable to make a sound.

Pfft!

Just then, the Storm Fury's sharp talons appeared out of nowhere.

It mercilessly pierced through the human's body, tossed him into the air, and instantly swallowed him.

The person immediately fell silent.

"Caw!"

After devouring one human, the Storm Fury seemed to feel it wasn't enough and continued to flap its massive wings, making the storm even more violent.

Gradually, more and more villagers were swept into the air.

Only those who clung tightly to doorframes narrowly escaped.

But before they could rejoice for too long, they were buried by collapsing houses.

"The tornado is gone, the Storm Fury has left!"

As time passed, some survivors noticed no movement outside.

He cautiously crawled out of the yellow sand. After confirming it was safe, he ran through the village ruins, shouting, "Is anyone still alive?"

"Come out quickly, the Storm Fury is full and gone!"

"We survived, hahahaha..."

Gradually, more and more people emerged from various parts of the village ruins.

When everyone counted the numbers, they were shocked to find that they had lost over two-thirds of their population, and even those who survived were almost all injured.

Not to mention the houses that had been destroyed.

"My home..."

"The village chief is gone!"

"Where are the children? My children..."

In an instant, various mournful wails echoed from all directions. Only a few people stared blankly at their surroundings, at a loss... "Did you get it all on camera?"

Hundreds of meters from the village, five or six travelers were hiding in the yellow sand. Since the Storm Fury and the tornado did not reach this far, they escaped unharmed.

At this moment, one traveler shook the yellow sand off his clothes and asked fearfully, "Just now... was that the Storm Fury?"

"It's all recorded..."

Another traveler, trembling, raised the camera and handed it to someone else, the fear and shock in his eyes not yet dissipated. "They're dead, all dead. They were all eaten..."

The other travelers were somewhat puzzled, but when they watched the video footage, they all fell silent.

The Storm Fury could move in and out of the tornado at will, and it devoured humans one by one, extremely cruel.

"No, we have to tell everyone about what happened here!"

The traveler who spoke first suddenly became resolute.

While searching for a signal, he logged into social media and uploaded the video he just took. "The Storm Fury is extremely cruel and bloodthirsty. If it cannot be killed, I'm afraid many more people will die in the future!"

"Quick, everyone go find a signal."

In fact, they knew in their hearts that since the Storm Fury could appear here, it must have also noticed them.

It was just that the fellow was full and disdained to trouble the few of them.

Only by spreading the news could they have a chance to survive.

A few hours later, almost all social media platforms exploded!

"That damn beast!"

"When have humans ever been bullied like this?"

"Where is the Storm Fury? I'm going to kill it..."

For a time, calls for the Storm Fury's condemnation spread online. Everyone was incredibly angry, wishing they could kill it immediately... "Chief, we can't ignore this any longer."

Imperial Capital, meeting room.

After everyone had watched the video, the assistant turned around, his voice choked. "That beast... that beast didn't even spare five or six-year-old children!"

"If we don't find a chance to kill it soon, we won't be able to stop it completely in the future."

"Chief, please say something!"

At the head of the table, the Chief took off his glasses, gently wiped away a tear, and then looked at Professor Xia Xinyu. "How much of our gene agent is left? Have the side effects on the human body been reduced?"

"Chief, the gene agent is still not perfect at the moment."

Professor Xia Xinyu's expression at this moment was extremely solemn.

He was silent for a moment, then said with a heavy heart, "Xiao An was right just now. If this continues, humanity will have no living space."

"We must act immediately."

Saying that, he bowed deeply to the Chief and spoke earnestly, "Chief, I request to take the risk and let our people try the gene agent!"
