Chapter 426 Destruction (2/2)

He hoped that his country would one day become a more powerful version of itself. This was the reason why he had joined the military in the first place.

”It's definitely dead. We've checked for any signs of life in its body using various instruments, and we found none,” said the researcher. This giant anaconda had attracted the attention of many scholars, professors, and researchers worldwide.

Those who were allowed to study the anaconda's corpse were the best of the best in their respective fields of research. After conducting various procedures to checkthe anaconda's vitals, they were now certain that it was bereft of all life.

”Keep up the good work,” said Dembili. He was unable to suppress the grin on his face. He wanted to deliver this good news to the region's council as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he felt a tremor beneath his feet. Dembili staggered and nearly fell. On the other hand, the researcher who was standing before him fell flat on his face.

”Sir, look out!”

Suddenly, the window exploded into a million pieces. A yellow-maned lion burst through the window and picked Dembili up by the collar before leaping back out.

Dembili, who was now dangling from the lion's mouth, had no idea what was going on. When he turned around, he saw that the giant anaconda had burst through the roof of the building. Its head was raised high up in the air. Black fumes issued from its black scales. The walls instantly aged and crumbled as soon as they came into contact with the black mist.

A couple of winged monsters tried to flee from the area. Unfortunately, the black fumes had already gotten to them. Their bodies withered into dried-out sacks of meat and bone, their feathers hanging loosely from their skin. Their trainers, who were sitting on their backs, were also reduced to skeletons almost instantly.

The black mist gradually spread out from the snake, causing everything in the area to wither at a frightening speed.

The snake hissed menacingly at the sky.

Dembili's face darkened as his body shook uncontrollably. ”We're doomed. The whole city is doomed...”

Half a day later, an announcement was made by the Lusaka base city: the Lusaka Spacial Rift would be closed indefinitely until further notice.

In the Tomsk base city of the Arctic region, Gao Peng had rented a villa to use. It would take some time for Huang Ya's team to get there. He had also asked Huang Ya to bring Da Zi, Goldie, and the others with him. Gao Peng wasn't used to being away from Da Zi for such a long period of time.

Despite all of Da Zi's shortcomings, Gao Peng still found it adorable.

He planned on training his familiars here and maybe taking them out on a hunting trip. He also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know some of the locals in the Arctic region.

”Mr. Gao, we've just received news that the Lusaka base city has closed off their Spacial Rift,” shouted a blonde Russian man wearing a camouflage singlet outside the villa.

”Keep your voice down,” hissed Gao Peng. After fiddling with the bottle of reagent in his hand, he stuffed it inside a box in a corner.

After being promoted to King-tier, the Desolate Frost Lion's grade had dropped to Excellent-grade. This was an after-effect of it making such a huge leap in tier in such a short span of time. Fortunately, Gao Peng was now in the Arctic region, which wasn't lacking in Ice-type ingredients.

He handed the reagent bottle to the Desolate Frost Lion, who expertly opened the bottle with its claws. It then began taking careful sips of the reagent from the bottle.

”The Lusaka Spacial Rift is closed off?” said Gao Peng, frowning. ”Why?”

”Word is they found a monster supposedly above King-tier in deep hibernation in the Black Fog World. Thinking it was dead, some idiot thought that it would be a good idea to open up its brain and take out its core crystal. This woke the monster up, and now the area on the other side of the Spacial Rift has gone under lockdown... What a shame. I still haven't visited the Spacial Rift there.”
