"Damn it, how did the Giant Flame Beast end up in a place like this." El immediately recognized the beast's name. But now, with two kids, he couldn't possibly go all out to kill this wild beast. He could only shout in frustration and yell at Shu, "Quickly, let's go. Get the kids back to Yu'an City first." With that, he accelerated abruptly, flying towards the direction of Yu'an City.
Just hearing the name Giant Flame Beast was daunting enough, and seeing the beast itself was even more intimidating. Shu had no interest in facing the Giant Flame Beast alone, especially with two people in his hands. Without bothering to give it another glance, he used Wind Force to chase after El.
The two didn't want to provoke the Giant Flame Beast, but the beast's six tank-sized eyes were fixed on them. When it saw these two little flitting creatures trying to fly away, it roared in anger and chased after them with its six sturdy legs. Although this Giant Flame Beast seemed huge and clumsy, its running speed was almost comparable to that of an ordinary Wind Element Superpower User, which was a unique trait of the beast.
The beast's astonishing speed startled Shu and El as they fled. They couldn't understand why, amid all the beasts fleeing in chaos, the Giant Flame Beast had locked onto them and why it ran so fast. This made them curse aloud—they hadn't provoked the beast at all, yet it had fixated on them.
At this moment, both could only focus on fleeing, fighting was out of the question. The relentless Giant Flame Beast pursued them, ignoring all other beasts around. Although unable to catch up to Shu and El, it stayed on their tail from a distance.
The chase between the two people and the beast began in the wilderness.
In Yu'an City, blood flows like rivers in the city. Though no longer ravaged by wild beasts, the eerie big birds in the sky released fireballs and cold energy, making life miserable for those inside. Fires erupted everywhere, with occasional people rushing out from hiding places, engulfed in flames, while a scarce number of Water Element Superpower Users led large groups, tirelessly dashing around the city to put out fires, often needing to extinguish fires in one place only to move on to another, utterly swamped with work.
Earth Element Superpower Users built defensive earthen walls near the city walls to shelter common people with nowhere to hide from the rain of fire and cold air.
A dozen Wind Element Superpower Users in the sky were chased wildly by a group of large birds. Initially, their energy weapons could hurt the birds, but as time wore on, the birds adapted to the speed of the Light Bomb attacks and could dodge to the side before the attacks hit. In contrast, the Wind Element Superpower Users found themselves frantically fleeing in all directions. A middle-aged man on the city wall was hopping mad with anger; he wished he were a Wind Element Superpower User so he could fly up and duel those feathered beasts. Instead, he could only stomp on the ground and occasionally use Fire Ability to incinerate beasts trying to climb the city walls.
"Take down those beasts, kill them!" the middle-aged man shouted, angrily throwing a Fireball into the sky. Unfortunately, the Fireball exploded into sparks before reaching the height of the birds, scattering like a meteor shower.
Outside, the beasts roared continuously, and those with supernatural abilities ceaselessly harassed the people on the city walls, looking for a chance to breach the wall. However, the Fire Element Superpower Users on the wall would not give them the opportunity, frequently launching large-scale attacks on the beast hoards outside, making them howl in pain.
Within and outside the city, the sky and earth were in chaos, and amidst this turmoil, it's hard to determine the outcome between humans and beasts.
During this stalemate, a dull, rumbling sound came from the ground, with a slight trembling. The people inside the city were oblivious, but the beasts outside, inherently sensitive to danger, showed expressions of terror. When they detected a fearful scent in the air, they let out a collective howl and dispersed, regardless of Yu'an City, fleeing faster than when they attacked, a spectacle truly in disorderly retreat.
The strange birds in the sky, chasing Wind Element Superpower Users wildly, were also keenly aware of the bizarre change in the air's temperature. Sensing an impending danger, though uncertain of its nature, the lead bird let out a cry, leading the flock in a panicked flight away from the scene.
Suddenly, both the bird and beast groups retreated, leaving the people of Yu'an City clueless. They stared in bewilderment as the animals fled, not understanding what was happening. Amidst their confusion, a vigilant observer spotted a massive beast with red flames charging rapidly towards Yu'an City in the distant horizon.
The beast left a trail of blazing flames, incinerating everything in its path. The ground trembled slightly with its approach, rumbling like a heartbeat, almost as if to shake people's hearts out of their throats. The air, like boiling hot water, made exposed skin feel scorching hot, with contact areas reddening and heating up. The beast was so far yet caused such harm; if it got closer, everyone in Yu'an City would likely perish, steamed alive by the intense heat.
"It's the Giant Flame Beast." Finally, someone recognized the approaching beast and screamed in terror.
The name Giant Flame Beast alone was enough to drain the faces of those on the city walls of all color. Everyone on this planet knew this name meant death and the obliteration of everything. Facing the Beast Tide might offer a sliver of hope, but against the Giant Flame Beast, survival seemed impossible. The beast's destructive power far exceeded what human strength could withstand.
"Quickly organize the city's inhabitants for evacuation. Everyone, gather and prepare to evacuate immediately," the middle-aged man, having identified the beast, promptly ordered the city's people to relocate. "Damn! A Giant Flame Beast, here? How could it appear in the plains?" Even the middle-aged man was at a loss, never having heard of such a beast appearing in such terrain.
"Someone's coming!" someone exclaimed in surprise. Compared to the Giant Flame Beast behind them, the two people appeared minute; it wasn't until they flew outside Yu'an City that anyone noticed them.
These two approaching figures were Shu and El, who had just safely brought Li Xingfeng's family back. Before they could reach the city walls, Babu and seven others emerged from the crowd to greet them. Handing over the four children to Babu, Shu and El instructed, "Take good care of them," then promptly transformed into two gusts of wind, charging towards the incoming Giant Flame Beast.
Their fearless act stunned the middle-aged man on the city walls. He had never heard of anyone escaping the pursuit of a Giant Flame Beast, let alone turning back to face it after survival. Had they gone mad?
