129: Burn the beast tide!
"Blazing Sky!"
"Rain of Fire Descends!"
Zhang Fan flapped his wings violently, and countless black flames shot out from between his wings, scattering in all directions.
Dense clusters of black flames, like a thick rain of fire descending from the sky, shot towards the monsters that hadn't been ignited yet.
As soon as the flame clusters touched these monsters, they immediately burst into flames, like Mars falling on willow catkins, turning into a raging inferno.
In an instant, another large group of monsters was ignited, transforming into fire beasts.
Driven by pain, they charged towards other unharmed monsters.
Thus, with the combined efforts of Zhang Fan and the monsters, the monstrous tide covering the mountains and plains was quickly ignited.
Looking out, the entire battlefield had transformed into a black sea of fire, with aquatic monsters burning with black flames everywhere!
This magnificent scene filled the warriors on the city wall with excitement, yet also made their hearts pound and their scalps tingle.
For two days, these monsters had been frantically assaulting the city wall, heedless of gunfire and bombardment, advancing in waves, fearless of death.
But under the burning of the Nine Netherworld Fire, they had been reduced to this state, making it hard to imagine how much pain they were in!
Beast Tide Command Center.
A large group of leaders gathered here, including leaders from the Qiantang Base City government and the Titan Warrior Management Center.
There were also relevant leaders from the Wuxing Satellite City government and the military region, with Wang Meng and Liu Anguo among them.
The big shots stared at the large screen, looking at the ignited beast tide, all showing joy and exclaiming repeatedly.
"A beast tide of this scale was actually ignited just like that; it's truly incredible!"
"Is this the Nine Netherworld Fire? No wonder it's a powerful weapon against beast tides!"
"Zhang Fan, this person, truly deserves to be called the Beast Tide Terminator; it's a well-deserved title!"
"Director Wang!"
Jiang Huaizhong, the mayor of Qiantang Base City, looked at Wang Meng beside him and asked, "Will all these monsters infected with the Nine Netherworld Fire be burned to death?"
"Yes! They will all be burned to death!"
Wang Meng smiled and nodded, "This is the Nine Netherworld Fire! I can't guarantee for Monster Lords or Kings of Monsters!"
"But for anything below a Monster Lord, whoever touches it dies, with no exceptions!"
"The most valuable thing is!"
"All monsters burned to death by the Nine Netherworld Fire have intact corpses, making them very convenient to process!"
"Good! Good! This is excellent!"
Jiang Huaizhong said 'good' three times in a row: "With this fire, your Wuxing will not only be able to withstand this wave of monsters!"
"You can even make a huge profit and alleviate the Satellite City's financial pressure!"
Jiang Huaizhong looked at the figure on the large screen, his face full of admiration:
"This Zhang Fan has greatly helped our Base City this time. After the monster tide ends, we must thank him properly!"
"We will!"
Wang Meng readily agreed.
Each monster tide kills many monsters, leaving behind a large number of corpses!
Moreover, the battlefield is too chaotic, making it generally difficult to determine who killed them!
Therefore, low-level monsters are usually handled by the Base City itself.
Only mid-level and above monsters are taken away by Monster Hunters!
Hence.
The low-level monsters killed during the monster tide are considered the Base City's wealth.
Zhang Fan burned so many monsters at once, and the most numerous among them must be low-level monsters.
According to custom, such a large number of low-level monster corpses should be left to their Wuxing Satellite City, and this is a huge sum of money!
"It's a pity; how great it would be if he were from our Qiantang Base City!"
Jiang Huaizhong sighed, "And Zhang Fan is from the Chang'an Zhang Family; we can't poach him even if we wanted to!"
"Indeed!"
The leaders nodded in agreement.
If Zhang Fan were from Qiantang, once a beast tide erupted and a beast tide summoning order was issued, Zhang Fan would not be able to refuse!
But Zhang Fan is from Chang'an; if a beast tide breaks out in their Qiantang Base City, Zhang Fan can come if he wants to, or not if he doesn't!
They couldn't force him!
...
Under Zhang Fan's unremitting efforts, the entire beast tide was completely ignited, with black flames burning everywhere.
Monsters constantly died under the burning flames!
Monsters constantly lost their breath in painful struggles!
Vibrant lives constantly turned into corpses in torment!
Half an hour later, the area outside the city gradually quieted down, soon becoming dead silent.
Looking out, there were corpses everywhere, mountains and plains of corpses!
The warriors on the city wall were both surprised and delighted by this scene.
They had guessed this outcome when Zhang Fan released the Nine Netherworld Fire.
But seeing it with their own eyes, everyone was still uncontrollably shocked!
"It's too brutal!"
"It's truly too brutal!"
"So many monsters, all burned to death by one fire!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, you could beat me to death and I wouldn't believe it!"
"Is this how Zhang Fan repelled the beast tide in Chang'an last time?"
"No wonder Chang'an Base City earned over 80 billion in that beast tide; burning them like this, I feel 80 billion is a bit low, 800 billion wouldn't be too much!"
"Have you noticed, this Zhang Fan seems to have three transformations..."
The warriors were emotional, chattering incessantly with their companions, sharing their joy and shock.
Of course, some people were very dissatisfied with Zhang Fan's actions.
"This Zhang Fan burned all the monsters to death, what are we supposed to kill?"
"Exactly! We traveled thousands of miles, hoping to hunt monsters and earn some money, but now we'll earn nothing!"
"He did everyone's job by himself, making all of us look like useless people. Look how capable he is!"
This beast tide, which had lasted for two days and two nights, temporarily came to an end.
The Beast Tide Command immediately dispatched people to collect monster corpses outside, storing them while they were freshest.
In July and August, with the corpses soaked in water, they would easily rot, so they had to be collected and stored as quickly as possible.
Zhang Fan transformed back into human form and returned to the city wall. Jiang Huaizhong, Wang Meng, and Liu Anguo immediately led a group of people to greet him.
Jiang Huaizhong, with a smile on his face, very enthusiastically took Zhang Fan's hand:
"Comrade Zhang Fan, thank you! Thank you for helping our Wuxing Satellite City eliminate this beast tide. On behalf of the 1.8 million people of Wuxing, I thank you for your kindness!"
"You are..."
Zhang Fan looked puzzled.
Wang Meng quickly introduced, "Comrade Zhang Fan, this is Mayor Jiang Huaizhong, from our Qiantang Base City!"
"So it's Mayor Jiang!"
Zhang Fan was a little surprised, then smiled, "Mayor Jiang, you're too kind. As a Titan Warrior, eliminating monsters and resisting beast tides is my profession!"
"Well said!"
Jiang Huaizhong praised, "Comrade Zhang Fan is young, not only exceptionally talented, but also has such high ideological awareness. It is a blessing for our country, a blessing for humanity!"
"Indeed!"
Everyone offered more compliments. Jiang Huaizhong took a microphone and said to all the Titan Warriors on the city wall:
"Thank you all for helping to resist the beast tide, everyone has worked hard!"
"We have already prepared food and resting places..."
"Oww—"
At this moment, a high-pitched, resonant dragon roar suddenly came from afar.
Everyone quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and then their expressions changed simultaneously.
On the water surface a few kilometers away, a white figure was speeding towards them.
It moved rapidly across the water, churning the surface and raising white wave walls dozens of meters high on both sides of its body.
"That is... a Flood Dragon?"
"Oh no! It's that old Flood Dragon from Tai Lake! How did it come out?"
"This is big trouble!"
These past few days, I've been accompanying my dad to the hospital for various examinations: blood tests, ECG, CT scans, enhanced CT scans, MRI, bone scans, bronchoscopy, biopsy, genetic testing...
After a series of examinations, it was discovered that the tumor cells had metastasized to the liver, making surgery impossible. Only conservative treatment is an option, and chemotherapy begins today.
The doctor said the first chemotherapy will be three cycles, once every 21 days, with 2800 ml of fluid each time...
Never mind the money, the person suffers!
I advise all readers to cherish your bodies. Although birth, aging, sickness, and death are unavoidable, we can cherish our bodies to try and avoid getting sick.
I believe my dad's cancer this time is largely related to smoking. He started smoking at 18 and has been smoking for 44 years now, two packs a day. According to online statement, he belongs to a heavy smoker, and his cancer risk is four to five hundred times that of an ordinary person!
Moreover, I checked, and 80% of male lung squamous cell carcinoma patients are linked to smoking, so it's very likely due to smoking.
I advise everyone, do not smoke!
I advise everyone, do not smoke!
I advise everyone, do not smoke!
