The earth-drifting dragon is an extremely rare mutated beast species in the Lightgus Grand World.
Before the apocalypse arrived, it possessed the abilities of stealth and burrowing. After the invasion of demonic energy, this creature, which excelled in concealment, integrated its unique abilities with the practitioner system, further enhancing the earth-drifting dragon's innate dual talents.
However, the earth-drifting dragon tribe is exceedingly scarce, and within the first month after the level restraint of the tenth level was broken in the Lightgus Grand World, it was already exterminated by the demonic clan.
But precisely because of its rarity, it is worthy of collection...
At this moment, inside the earth-drifting dragon, five bizarre creatures of varying sizes were curled up in a small space. They were doing their best to compress their perception abilities and reduce their strong energy fluctuations to ensure the smooth implementation of their plan.
This torturous infiltration did not cause any dissatisfaction among the five demonic creatures; they were merely waiting, waiting for the moment to serve the lord of the demon spirit.
Until the earth-drifting dragon stealthily reached the edge of the Eighth District Forward Base at an exceedingly slow speed, a deep voice finally echoed from within its belly.
"Arrived at the target location, but there is some sort of all-around surveillance barrier here. If I proceed further, I will trigger the barrier and expose our presence."
Upon hearing this voice, the five demonic creatures opened their eyes one by one. One ancient demon, who appeared slightly more normal, spoke up.
"Then let's stop here."
After saying this, the ancient demon was the first to wriggle its body and crawled out through the earth-drifting dragon's mouth. The remaining four bizarre creatures quickly followed suit.
"Wishing you all may your martial fortunes flourish; my task ends here."
After the earth-drifting dragon finished speaking, its body slowly transformed into a massive rock, and then it completely solidified underground.
...
The soil layer of the layered battlefield was exceptionally thick. Although some parts belonged to cultivable land, most of it comprised extremely hard and unknown rock layers.
The location of the Eighth District Forward Base was surrounded by this type of rocky layer.
But this did not obstruct the five powerful members of the demonic clan.
The leading ancient demon spread its four arms, and with a gentle sweep, the rock layers surrounding the five demonic creatures were instantly cleansed and evaporated by some special force.
This cleared out enough space for the five demonic creatures to reside.
Only at this moment did the ancient demon begin to speak.
"Operation begins."
In the next second, a monster resembling an octopus with eight tentacles immediately sprang into action behind it.
...
The tentacles wrapped around its companions, and the giant octopus emitted a glow. Its body then floated in mid-air, and its torso began to twist. Once it reached a certain speed, the octopus shot upwards like a drill, rapidly burrowing toward the underground center of the Eighth District Forward Base. Suddenly, it sensed the existence of a barrier, but this warning barrier naturally posed no obstruction to the giant octopus.
It was as fragile as paper, easily pierced.
At the same time, the defense system of the Eighth District Forward Base immediately sounded the alarm. However, by the time the alert forces reacted, the giant octopus had already surged into the central area of the Eighth District Forward Base—right beneath the commander-in-chief's headquarters!
"Boom!"
With a heavy sound of earth being broken, the giant octopus shot up from underground. While in mid-air, it released its tentacles, and then the ancient demon that appeared the most normal immediately pulled out three black crystal stones from its bosom.
"First one!"
"Crack."
The crystal shattered, and a black light barrier instantly enveloped the area above the commander-in-chief's headquarters.
