Chapter 388 Return to the Land of Cherry Blossoms
"Hmm? There are gunshots too? Could it be Kato Kengo and the others?"
Having locked onto their target, they eagerly led their team to the battlefield.
Not far from the battlefield, he suddenly heard gunfire mixed with the roars of evolved creatures, and he became suspicious.
Thinking of this, Cangnian bypassed the ranks and took the lead in arriving above the battlefield.
As expected, upon arriving near the battlefield, Cangnian discovered that in front of the densely packed sea monster tide, a defensive line blocked the coast from the inland.
On the defensive line, various guns and cannons were unleashing their firepower.
Artillery cannons fired ammunition several kilometers into the sea monster horde, reducing their numbers and slowing their advance.
Meanwhile, the machine guns formed a fire net within 500 meters of the defensive line, killing all the sea monsters that could reach this area.
Among the defending team, Cang Nian saw a row of bald heads.
Clearly, these were all people from the small village that Kato Kengo had previously lived in.
They were originally polluters, but after being cleansed and purified by the blood essence, they returned to normal.
He transformed from his distorted and ugly facial features, his skin oozing abscesses, and his face covered in wriggling granulation tissue back to his original appearance.
The price was losing a head of beautiful hair, along with all the pollution.
However, for them, this was not a price to pay at all.
Their greatest wish is to live like a normal person.
“Ouch——!!!”
Seeing this, Cangnian let out a powerful roar in mid-air!
Even though the entire battlefield was in complete chaos, with gunfire and shouts blending together, Cang Nian's roar firmly suppressed all these sounds.
However, Cang Nian did not use any lethal force in his voice; it was simply loud.
"It's the Beast King!"
Upon hearing this roar, Ye Han, on the Sakura Kingdom's position, pointed excitedly at the figure in mid-air and shouted.
Beside him, Kato Kengo's stern face first showed surprise, then a smile appeared on his face.
He originally thought that Cangnian had left without saying goodbye.
But to my surprise, the old man reappeared just one day later!
Seeing the gazes cast upon him from the position, Cangnian knew that he had achieved his goal of yelling. So he looked down at the sea monster tide, picked a huge target that must weigh more than ten tons, and swooped down!
Pa~!
With the help of gravity and his own powerful physique, Cang Nian landed and smashed the head of the evolved creature to pieces with a single claw!
[Ding! Rock Smash skill proficiency +1! (8999/10000)]
[Ding! Killed a prey, increasing the "Accomplice to a Tiger" skill proficiency by 12899! (2234553/10000000)]
With a single swipe of his claw, Cang Nian easily killed an evolved creature larger than himself. A series of system notifications echoed in his mind, making him nod in satisfaction.
Hunting evolved creatures during the sea monster tide can not only be used to create blood essence, but also greatly improve one's skill proficiency.
"Order the artillery positions to cease fire!"
At the same time, seeing Cangnian fall into the center of the sea monster tide without saying a word, Kato Kengo on the position shouted.
Although he knew Cangnian wouldn't be afraid of those shells, he didn't want to bother his benefactor, Cangnian, because of his own reasons.
Furthermore, if Cangnian were to be displeased, it would be an even more terrible disaster than the sea monster tide rushing inland.
As for the artillery fire ceasing, the swarm of sea monsters hasn't been weakened beforehand, which will increase the pressure on the front lines...
This is impossible.
Once Cangnian takes action, the speed at which the sea monster tide will be dealt with will only be faster.
Although Kato Kengo roughly understood after seeing Cangnian make his move, Cangnian was after the good stuff that could restore normal people by using his blood-red pearl to extract from the bodies of the corrupted evolved creatures and feed them to them.
But he was still very grateful to see Cang Nian helping him.
Because the night before last, when I resolved the issue with the Cleansers Alliance, I felt an intense hatred for the Cleansers Alliance's evolved members and their treacherous army.
So they were all tried and executed at that time.
After they had their fun, Kato Kengo and the others finally realized what kind of mess the Cleansers Alliance had left them.
Before the spiritual energy revival, Jiuzhou Island had a total population of five million. At the beginning of the revival, there were two million survivors. Now, only a little over two hundred thousand people remain.
But what they have to protect is a coastline of nearly four thousand kilometers.
This is a task that is almost impossible to complete.
Even if the marine mammal tide lands in concentrated areas of only a few key cities.
But with so few people, there was really little that could be done to reverse the situation.
In particular, the vast majority of survivors were people who had never held a gun and did not know how to use weapons.
Moreover, because the Cleaners Alliance firmly controls the food supply, Kato Kengo knows very well what the survivors have gone through.
They were ruthless and numb, tormented beyond recognition by this miserable world.
If Kato Kengo hadn't distributed food to the remaining survivors and urged them to defend their homeland, these survivors wouldn't have even bothered to join the fight.
Kato Kengo now understands why Yamamoto said before he died that he would regret it soon.
Having weapons but lacking a large number of skilled personnel to use them effectively will only force them to retreat deeper inland to the surging tides of sea monsters coming from all directions, ultimately leading to their demise.
Although Kato Kengo's time-manipulation ability is very strong, his time-stretching skill is invincible in battles of the same level, and killing opponents of higher levels is not a problem.
But when faced with a massive tide of sea monsters, his powerful abilities and his prized swordsmanship proved inadequate.
Fortunately, the Beast King did not leave without saying goodbye!
When they needed him most, the Beast King appeared before them once again in such a domineering way!
Awooo—!!!
But just as Kato Kengo gained boundless courage from the arrival of the old man, an even more powerful tiger roar came from the flank of the battlefield!
Immediately, a giant tiger wreathed in jet-black flames appeared on the side of the sea monster tide and charged into the battlefield with overwhelming force.
Beneath its feet, surging black flames spread out in all directions.
Wherever the black flames reached, corrupted evolved creatures fell to the ground.
However, those weighing over a ton only screamed in pain and did not die.
This was something Cang Nian specifically instructed me to do.
More than a ton of prey is left for Cangnian to handle.
Tiger Dad and his gang were responsible for dealing with the small fish and shrimp.
Although this prevented him from showcasing his enhanced strength after evolution, Tiger Dad was somewhat displeased.
But since it's the baby's request, the father naturally has to comply.
Perfect, I can also practice my precise control over my superpowers at the same time.
Tiger Dad, who had undergone special training in supernatural abilities under Cangnian's guidance, was no stranger to these training methods that only humans would consider.
