In that day and age, the slaughter of up to 10,000 people would immediately shake the entire country if the incident became widely known.

“The authorities are putting a lockdown on the news now, but something this big is going to leak sooner or later.” Ming Yueyao sounded worried on the other side of the phone.

There was just no way something that big could be kept quiet, after all, especially in the current situation, as officials had already made the decision to no longer place any lockdown on information regarding the world of cultivators.

In truth, after the world had seen such an unprecedented scale of restoration of spirit qi, locking down information and news at such a scale would have been impossible anyway.

There was also no doubt just how shocked the country would be when they heard the news that such a ferocious monster had killed so many people.

“Where’s the Dragon?” Lu Xuan asked.

He felt it was a bit unusual that it was not the Dragon who’d contacted him, given the gravity of the situation at hand.

“The Dragon was ambushed by a giant tiger and a giant eagle playing tag team when he was out pursuing the tiger. He suffered severe injuries.”

Ming Yueyao sounded somewhat unstable when she talked about this, and Lu Xuan was able to pick up on the shift in her tone. However, he remained silent and showed no other emotion.

Lu Xuan could sense that all the major events in the world had shifted due to his reincarnation.

In his memories from his past life, while those monsters had indeed rampaged in Mount Tai, the incident eventually came to a close without causing any serious problems.

That was because back then, the Special Task Force had no way of taking on those monsters. The beasts were inherently stronger than humans in a physical sense, and that point had apparently become more pronounced after they became Invincible Vajras.

They could only be harmed if they suffered a direct hit by the likes of rockets and missiles, as even the aftershocks of such attacks would still have a hard time breaching their hides and scales.

That was why the monsters had been able to escape without causing so much chaos, and why no bloody battles had taken place.

However, things had taken a different turn this time around. Thanks to the methods that Lu Xuan had shared, the Special Task Force had manufactured a good deal of runic ammunition. Still, they were only early prototypes, so they were incapable of blowing heads off beings as powerful as Martial Arts Legends or National Guardians.

Nevertheless, the ammunitions were still capable of posing a huge threat to Invincible Vajras.

All of the monsters were indeed injured when they were hit by those bullets, and the White Ape King’s injuries were especially severe.

The White Ape King went berserk after suffering such grievous injuries, causing it to kill anyone or anything that crossed its path as it ran. Ultimately, it racked up a body count of nearly ten thousand.

If it had not been for the White Ape King’s apparent desperation for escape, it might easily have killed over a hundred thousand people as it ran amok.

That was why humans back in Lu Xuan’s past life had been so wary of those monster kings. Not only were they capable of commanding a huge number of wild beasts and monsters, which allowed them to kill countless people, but they themselves were also so powerful that they were basically walking nuclear weapons, with every outing they made causing a great number of deaths.

These monsters couldn’t be stopped conventionally without using the likes of an atomic bomb, and no one could handle the consequences of using nukes unless the situation had really become extremely dire.

The human governments back in Lu Xuan’s past life had eventually learned how to deal with the monster kings—they either left the monster kings alone or made sure that the monster kings were killed with a single hit. Only by doing so could consequences of greater severity be prevented.

Human efforts to take out those monster kings caused retributive genocides to be carried out in the millions whenever the attempts failed.

They learned these lessons the hard way, and all of these lessons carried a lot of blood and tears.
