The Kings of the Abyss (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
To monitor the ocean's mutated creatures, the federation has deployed wave energy detectors not only in coastal cities but also spread numerous base satellites across the ocean.
As the destructive breath disperses the fog that obscures electromagnetic signals on the island, a hollow with a diameter of over a thousand meters is formed.
That beam of breath, piercing through heaven and earth and rising thousands of meters high before dissipating, reaches a ninth-level energy fluctuation and is instantly captured by satellites in orbit.
With the image locked, the black-red giant beast standing amidst flames and thunder, along with the corpse of the demon ape that reverted to a hundred meters after death, is photographed.
"Report: Strong energy fluctuations from a mutated creature detected. Image analysis shows a 70% similarity in form to the code-named Thunder Blaze mutated creature, but..."
"But what?"
"This power fluctuation has reached mid-ninth level, and the size of the mutated giant beast is close to a hundred meters."
"And the record of the Thunder Blaze exotic beast from two months ago was only over fifty meters long, with certain differences in its form compared to this mutated creature. Therefore, it cannot be determined if they are the same mutated creature."
Seeing the giant beast model projected on the large screen, the duty officer, a major general, wore a serious expression: "No need to doubt, this is the mutated creature codenamed Thunder Blaze."
Immediately, there was a stir below.
"It is indeed that mutated creature; both its form and breath give off an incredibly fierce feeling."
"That mutated creature, with its characteristic red feathered horns on either side of its head, is very distinctive."
"This creature's growth rate is terrifying. When it was first detected, it was only over twenty meters, but it grew to thirty or forty meters just over ten days later."
"And when it was detected for the third time alongside the Silver Giant Dragon, its size had surged to sixty meters. Now, after such a long time, it's reasonable that its size is approaching a hundred meters."
"Reasonable, my foot! This mutated creature is a monster; its growth rate is too terrifying and completely defies biological growth norms."
"It is indeed frighteningly fast. In all the recorded data over the years, the fastest king-level mutated creature took nearly eleven years to grow from level seven to level nine."
"Hiss! Eleven years versus a few months!"
"Look! That mutated creature is moving."
"It’s devouring that nine-level giant ape."
"So terrifying..."
Watching the images detected by the satellite, many felt a chill run down their spines due to its brutality.
On the island turned to ruins, the black-red giant beast, retracting its golden flames and thunder, grasped the enormous corpse of the demon ape, its jagged mouth crushing its thick and hard scales.
With every bite, chunks of flesh were torn off, and bright red blood gushed out like a waterfall, forming a pool on the ground.
This blood contains rich energy; ordinary first and second-level exotic beasts would explode if they consumed it, while third and fourth-level exotic beasts would receive a super tonic.
However, the spilled blood is only a small portion; most of the blood is locked within the demon ape's flesh and is consumed along with it by the thunder flame emperor beast.
At this moment, as if sensing the satellite's "gaze," the black-red giant beast suddenly looked up and roared fiercely at the sky.
Roar! In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and the wind howled.
With its sharp fangs and blood-stained ferocious body, even through the large screen, countless people felt an indescribable ferocity approaching them.
Such a brutal scene made many in the coastal base monitoring room subconsciously swallow hard, their faces pale.
Due to their positions, these staff members hadn't been to the front lines much, let alone seen blood.
At this point, the mist on the island surged, gradually restoring the obscured hollow. Suddenly, the large screen lost the trace of the black-red giant beast.
