"Headquarters, Headquarters, this is Black Fox Helicopter Squad. We've spotted the target. Do we engage?" Onboard the leading black armed helicopter.
The pilot's face showed shock as he looked at the monster staring back at them two hundred meters below.
Although they had been briefed on the target before coming, only upon arriving at the scene did they realize its terror.
"Black Fox Squad, please confirm if there are any civilians nearby. If not, open fire immediately." The command came through the headset.
The pilot activated the targeting system, locking onto the monster below. The surrounding civilians had already fled by the time they arrived, and as for the Inspector being dragged in its hand, they simply assumed he was dead.
Beep beep!
With two system prompts, the pilot's scope locked onto the King of the Deep Sea.
"Open fire!" the pilot roared, pressing the launch button.
Whoosh! The helicopter's external rockets unleashed a barrage of firepower onto the King of the Deep Sea below. The Black Fox Model they were piloting could carry up to 36 rockets.
Five helicopters simultaneously fired all 180 rockets at the monster below.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Dense whistling sounds ripped through the air above the King of the Deep Sea. It looked up at the numerous light points appearing in the sky to its left—the sky covered by rockets.
"Human weapons, interesting, humph humph humph!" The King of the Deep Sea casually tossed aside Zeng Jianbai, a smirk on its face.
Facing the overwhelming rockets, it spread its arms and laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha, come on, let me see what you can do!"
Bang bang bang!
The next moment, a rocket struck two meters away from it, the ground exploding and sending debris flying.
The explosion's flames engulfed the King of the Deep Sea. Before the rocket's flames could spread further, the next one directly slammed into the spot where the King of the Deep Sea stood.
Bang bang bang!
The explosions continued, fireballs erupting one after another on the ground, smoke and dust rising into the sky, and the glass of surrounding buildings shattering.
Nearby buildings were affected and collapsed.
The explosions lasted for a minute. The road within fifty meters of the King of the Deep Sea's center below was plowed over, not a single spot left intact.
The pilots observed the situation from above. A large amount of black smoke at the center obscured their vision, making it impossible to see clearly.
'Even steel would be shattered to dust with this kind of firepower,' the pilot mused.
Whoosh! Just as he was still observing below, a blue water pillar suddenly pierced through the smoke, heading straight for the helicopter to his left.
Boom! The destructive power of the high-speed water pillar was maxed out. That helicopter was directly hit from below, the entire aircraft exploding into a fireball in the air, then engulfed by the water pillar.
"What's going on?!" The pilot's pupils contracted in shock as he looked at the source of the water pillar below.
The smoke-covered area below had dispersed, revealing the King of the Deep Sea, its fish scales blackened by the smoke.
Sizzle sizzle! Its mouth was open, still dripping water. These water droplets fell onto the broken ground and were evaporated by the high temperature.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" Seeing this, the pilot could no longer hold it together. He immediately pulled the stick and flew in the direction they came from.
They were two hundred meters in the air! This monster could hit them from so far away, and 180 rockets hadn't even scratched it. What was the point of fighting then?
"Did I say you could run?" The King of the Deep Sea had a sinister grin on its face, opening its mouth and aiming at the remaining four helicopters.
Gulp!
Its neck began to swell to twice its original thickness. The next instant, a thick water pillar burst from its mouth, spanning several hundred meters to strike a helicopter.
Boom! A fireball erupted in the sky. The King of the Deep Sea continued to spew, and helicopters were shot down one after another.
A few seconds later, it looked at the cleared sky, a sinister grin on its face, and continued deeper into the city.
Lingzhou Prefecture's Yuancheng City, also the provincial capital, has a hundred-meter-tall official building at its center.
In the command room on the twenty-sixth floor, a conference table was filled with people. In front of them was a screen, the image frozen on the last thick water pillar rushing towards them.
A researcher in a white lab coat covered his face with his hands, somewhat shocked, saying, "To withstand so many rockets unscathed, this defense is very close to a Fifth-Level Awakener."
Meng Zhiyao sat in the middle, silent as he looked at the screen. A middle-aged man in military uniform turned to him: "Governor Meng, the armored forces will reach the West District in three kilometers."
"Call them back. Don't send them to their deaths," Meng Zhiyao shook his head. Against an opponent of this caliber, unless larger yield missiles were used.
But using missiles in one's own city—only an idiot would do such a thing.
The rest of the people in the command room could only lean back in their chairs, unwilling, watching as civilians were found and killed by the King of the Deep Sea. For now, they had no way to deal with this monster.
"Everyone, I've arrived at the scene." Just then, Fang Wenyu's voice came from a laptop on the table.
Meng Zhiyao's eyes lit up at the sound, and he quickly looked at the laptop: "How did you get here so fast? You should still be half an hour away."
Inside the laptop, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded, with only Fang Wenyu occasionally looking ahead.
The others around quickly sat up straight. A man in a suit said excitedly, "With Heavenly Rotation Body Fang Wenyu taking action, he'll definitely take down this monster!"
The others around also had the same expression, looking forward to Fang Wenyu defeating this monster.
"Of course I ran. Helicopters are too slow. By the time I arrived, it would be too late. Alright, I'm hanging up now." On the other end of the video, Fang Wenyu was running quickly down the street, occasionally flashing past passersby.
Whoosh! So fast that passersby only felt a rush of wind, their clothes fluttering, but saw no one.
Fang Wenyu closed the laptop and casually tossed it into a nearby trash can.
Not far ahead was the West District, where a cordon had already been set up, guarded by Inspectors, allowing only exit but no entry.
He took a step, leaped over ten meters, crossed the cordon, and entered the West District.
A thousand meters above the West District, a cloud floated by, with Jiang Yan seated on it.
He ordered the Cloud Ray to open several small holes beneath the cloud to observe the King of the Deep Sea.
"Has he arrived?" Jiang Yan saw a figure in a suit running rapidly down the street in the distance, moving faster than anyone Jiang Yan had ever seen.
Crunch! Crunch!
The King of the Deep Sea stood in the middle of the street, eating a human it held in one hand.
