Sensing the familiar scent from the man, Lin Qiao silently sighed with relief, then said with surprise, “Eh? Did they tell you to come here already? I don’t think it’s time yet…”

Wu Chengyue’s lips were curved in a smile, but the look in his eyes seemed to be a little dangerous. “Not time yet? Would you wait until you were beaten into a disabled zombie to ask me for help?”

He sensed the scent of blood from the zombie lady’s mouth and chest. He checked her body and found no severe injuries, but was still worried about her.

Earlier, he saw from a distance how she didn’t manage to dodge. The creature was about to flatten her. At that very moment, panic shrouded his entire body, and he instinctively raised his arms to attack that monster.

But then, the zombie lady told him that it was not the time for him to be there yet. He was very unhappy about that! If he didn’t show up, she would probably end up as a pile of smashed flesh! If he came a little later, he might need to collect her dead body!

Wu Chengyue’s vibe grew strong and irritated when he was picturing that.

Hearing his words and sensing his changing vibe, Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then said, “So, they didn’t tell you to come here… Just put me down! Since you’re already here, please help me deal with this big one together.”

The man showed no sign of putting her down, so Lin Qiao had no choice but to ask him to do that.

The two of them were standing on top of a building. Wu Chengyue put her down as he gave her a cold glance, said, “Together? You think you can still fight?”

She thought he didn’t know that she had already run out of energy. Without confidence, Lin Qiao had her mouth corners twitching slightly as she looked at him and said, “That creature is crazy. Do you think you can deal with it by yourself?”

Wu Chengyue looked at her. His beautiful lips wore a mysterious smile, and his eyes shone brightly. “I’m a little stronger than you are, at least,” he said.

While speaking, he swung an arm without even raising his head.

Rumbling thunders could be heard before a huge silver bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on the level-eight creature, who just started to recover from the last round of lightning strikes.

“Roar!”

Lin Qiao stayed silent. She had to admit that the man seemed to be stronger than before. He was probably ready to break into a higher level.

Endless thunders could be heard as lightning bolts fell like rain, striking the underground creatures at or above level-five.

When the first lightning bolt emerged from the sky, Qiu Lili and the other zombies all sighed with relief. They all knew that apart from their own Chief, Wu Chengyue was the only one who had the power to kill those underground creatures.

After suffering two lightning strikes in a row, the level-eight underground gorilla seemed to have been slowed down a little. However, as the third lightning strike came at it, it reacted in time and dodged.

“Er… Roar…” It shook its head, which was burnt black by the lightning. After regaining its sensations, it bared its teeth and roared at Wu Chengyue. Clearly, it was enraged by his lightning attack.

After the thunder strikes, the red light that shone out of the bodies of the other underground creatures dimmed down a little. Hearing the roar from the level-eight one, they all roared out in one voice.

“Roarrrr!”

“Roar!”

Waves of beast roars came at Wu Chengyue. An ordinary person might suffer a mental collapse under those sound waves. However, the sound waves were barely harmful for him and Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao could tell that those creatures were angry though.

“They are angry!” said Lin Qiao with surprise. Earlier when she attacked them with her own power, they didn’t seem to be so angry.

“Stay here,” Wu Chengyue said to her, then flashed out. Along with his movement, muffled thunders could be heard from the sky. Following the rumbles of thunder, lightning bolts flashed across the dark clouds in the sky and fell from time to time, accurately hitting those underground creatures.

The lightning couldn’t kill the higher-leveled underground creatures immediately. But, they were temporarily disabled from fighting, with their red light sparkling. Anyhow, the ones under level-five were struck straight to death by the lightning power.

“Roar!” Wu Chengyue’s lightning power had infuriated the level-eight creature, but frightened it as well. It roared ragingly as it sprung up and pounced on him.

The creature jumped at Wu Chengyue and swung its claws that were as sharp as steel swords, its body glowing with a dazzling red light. The level-eight underground gorilla was swift. Within a blink of an eye, it darted up to Wu Chengyue and gave him a fierce roar while launching an attack.

Beasts usually used their roars to scare or distract their targets. That worked well for weak targets.

Wu Chengyue was affected a little by that thunderous roar as well. At least, he felt as if her ears were vibrating intensely. He didn’t pause though; another bolt of lightning fell from the sky toward the level-eight underground creature.

Boom! This time, the creature dodged nimbly.

At first, Wu Chengyue managed to hit the creature by attacking sneakily. But now, the creature had figured out what was happening. Hence, Wu Chengyue started to have difficulties hitting that powerful underground creature.

An intense battle instantly started. Wu Chengyue’s lightning bolts fell one after another, sending fire sparks all over the sky and creating a dazzling light in the darkness from time to time. Meanwhile, the enormous underground beast was glowing with a bright red light. It moved fast, leaving shreds of red light behind. Every time it launched an attack, its huge paws would smash some buildings or some mutated plants nearby.

Soon enough, the entire area was wasted and turned into ruins. The fire created by the lightning was burning everywhere.

Lin Qiao stood on the roof. She found that Wu Chengyue was showing no sign of losing to the crazy level-eight underground creatures. So, she started observing him with surprise.

On the other side, Qiu Lili raised an arm and started a tornado, sending a few level-five underground creatures, which were charging at her, over two-hundred meters in the sky before letting them fall.

Thud! Thud! Thud! The few level-five creatures weren’t as strong as the level-seven ones. They fell on the ground and didn’t die, but still suffered some internal injuries. But before the pain faded away, they were sent up into the sky by Qiu Lili once again.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After three or four falls, those creatures couldn’t get back up.

Standing on top of a building, Qiu Lili looked at those underground gorillas who had finally died and complained, “I had to make them fall four times to kill these level-five creatures. Why on earth are they so strong?”

Lin Kui the black panther was sitting by her side, wagging his tail. He raised a forepaw and looked at it with helplessness in his beast eyes.
