“Sister Lei, are we still going to fight?”
Little Tiger stood there, his previous restlessness replaced by a calm demeanor. This was the aura that top-tier life forms inherently possessed.
At this moment, seventy percent of the combat power of Cloud Summit was concentrated around a small city called Plum City. In such a city, there were over five million various parasites.
Yes, five million—a stark increase of five hundred thousand in just a short time since the initial reconnaissance. The people of Cloud Summit did not know what caused this surge, but the results obtained at a great cost in recent investigations were just this.
The main battle team of Cloud Summit Villa was mostly focused here, guarding the occupied territory in the national district and the villa itself. The number of warriors exceeded one million, not including the two hundred thousand various gene warriors. Besides them, there were two hundred thousand evolvers from other factions.
These individuals were expendable troops.
Although there was a numerical difference between the total number of these troops and the parasites in Plum City, the city was small, and the entire Cloud Summit faction had already completely surrounded it.
Strangely, the parasites led by the green-skin monsters inside were no longer as agitated as they had been during the reconnaissance; they obediently stayed within the small city, creating an eerie silence.
This situation was unsettling and made people anxious, but it was not the reason Little Tiger had just spoken.
The reason Little Tiger, now a nine-star evolver, said that was because the ‘demon whale’ had come ashore.
On the East Coast, a powerful top-tier life form, along with its countless minions, surged from the sea during a tide, slaughtering a vast area along the coast. Even two ninth-level mutated life forms near the coast stood no chance against the creature known as the ‘demon whale’ in a two-on-one situation.
Upon receiving the news, Cloud Summit Villa, which had completely occupied that area, ordered the abandonment of the region.
Although marine life forms became amphibious after growing stronger, they could not stray too far from the ocean. Based on the characteristics of the sea beast tide over the years, they would retreat after some time.
However, this time was different.
Under the leadership of the powerful life form known as the ‘demon whale,’ the sea beast army had not retreated for a full two months; on the contrary, they were continuously expanding their territory.
Even more terrifying was that among them was a type of life form that had little fighting capability but could bury itself in the mud after coming ashore. Days later, the surrounding soil would be consumed, creating a deep pit one to two meters deep. After digesting the soil in its belly, the remaining viscous liquid, now turned into sludge, would be expelled to nourish those life forms that had been away from the ocean for a long time, allowing them to remain on land.
No one knew exactly what this creature was, but everyone felt a deep fear of the sheer number of them.
Countless of these life forms turned the mainland into deep pits along the coastline. According to the reconnaissance results from the Jingjue Floating Sphere, within a week, they transformed an area twenty kilometers from the coastline, extending a hundred kilometers, into a chasm hundreds of meters deep!
These life forms began appearing half a month after the ‘demon whale’ led its army ashore. By now, they had dug downwards for four to five hundred meters in an area stretching from the coast to sixty kilometers inland and two hundred kilometers long.
Everyone knew what they were trying to do.
They wanted to turn the land into ocean!
The fact that they were only digging pits for now might simply be due to their dissatisfaction with the area not being large enough or deep enough.
Once they reached their requirements, it was likely they would immediately draw in seawater.
