Chapter 258: Prepare for a New Battle!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Not only Li Yidao but everyone else also noticed the enormous tentacle.

Silence fell upon the group.

The situation seemed to be heading in an unfavorable direction, and everyone took a deep breath, their expressions becoming more serious.

They were well aware that they might be facing an even more dangerous battle ahead.

“Take Qingyue and the others and leave. I’ll find you later,” the old man spoke up.

He continued forward on his own, but he instructed Li Yidao’s group to depart.

Clearly, he lacked confidence in facing the current battle.

It suggested that the colossal creature before them might be someone they knew or were familiar with.

If that was the case, it would naturally pose significant challenges.

However, upon hearing the old man’s words, Li Yidao chose not to speak this time.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Qingyue and Sister Zhou.

“Follow the old man’s advice and leave this place. I’ll go and take a look,” Li Yidao said.

Although Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue seemed ready to protest, Li Yidao continued, “I have enough self-defense capabilities; you don’t need to worry about me.”

At this moment, the old man glanced at Li Yidao and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Li Yidao had sufficient self-defense abilities.

In that case, it would be fine for him to accompany and see what was happening.

After all, his abilities were quite unique, and if he could help resolve the current crisis, it would be beneficial.

Hearing this, and seeing the old man’s expression, Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue nodded slightly.

They then turned and descended the mountain in another direction.

“Elder Fu.”

“Elder Fu.”

At this moment, several different voices simultaneously echoed.

A group of people approached from not far away and spoke up just as they were about to make contact with Li Yidao and the others.

The old man looked at the newcomers, nodded without saying a word, and turned his gaze toward the distance.

The arriving group was none other than some key members of Yun City.

Apart from the elderly man who still held a position in Yun City, all the combat forces from Yun City had rushed from all directions.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to have such a multitude of insects.

“This should be their queen insect,” someone said.

“I caught a glimpse of it from a distance during that previous battle. However, the one from back then far surpassed the current one.”

“Let’s pause the attack for now. Even if we eliminate all those small insects, it won’t make much sense with this queen insect around. This current queen is probably in the early stages of awakening, and although her strength hasn’t fully recovered, the defense during this phase is the strongest.”

The old man’s voice reached the ears of those surrounding him.

Upon hearing the old man’s question about whether to attack now or wait, the leaders of the opposing group looked at each other.

How should they decide?

In reality, when the queen insect emerged, they were already somewhat dumbfounded.

Defeating this queen insect was definitely beyond their capabilities.

Only someone like Elder Fu had the means to deal with it.

but.

However, what they didn’t know was that the old man was currently heavily injured and unable to fully unleash his strength. For a moment, their gazes turned to the old man.

“My body is having some issues, and my strength can’t be fully exerted. The purpose of my journey into the mountains this time was to restore my strength. But unexpectedly, I encountered this issue. Use whatever means Yun City has prepared later on,” the old man naturally understood the thoughts of these people, so he calmly spoke.

Hearing that the old man was injured, to be honest, everyone was stunned.

At this moment, their expressions became particularly solemn. Several individuals had already made a resolute attitude!

What methods could they have?

It was nothing more than risking their lives!

There was no other way.

If risking their lives could resolve this danger and ensure that Yun City remained unaffected, then there wouldn’t be a problem.

The old man looked at their expressions and sighed inwardly.

He had some hope or expectation that they might have researched some special methods over these many years.

However, looking at their current situation and attitude, it seemed like a desperate last stand.

“Ah, it seems you still don’t have any special methods.”

“Did those guys I asked you to notify come over?” Li Yidao glanced at the old man.

He recalled that at the beginning, he asked the old man to send someone to notify others.

The old man had threatened them, saying he would go to them if they didn’t come willingly.

However, besides the people from Yun City, there were no signs of others at the scene.

Did they not come?

“Elder Fu, we’ve already arranged for people to notify them, but… they just acknowledged it and didn’t show up,” someone explained. “You know their attitude, so it’s really hard to say if they’ll come.”

“Hmph!” The old man gave a cold snort.

“If I can return safely this time, it seems necessary for me to pay them a visit! To treat such a significant matter with such an attitude, do they really think I won’t do anything to them?”

Hearing that the message had been delivered but the response was so dismissive, the old man was genuinely angered.

This matter not only concerned Yun City but also had the potential to endanger the entire China if mishandled!

The process might have been lengthy, but once those small creatures spread that day, dealing with them would undoubtedly have become a prolonged task.

Handling the resources required for those creatures in the future wouldn’t have been as simple as it seemed then.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect was the possibility of those creatures evolving again.

After evolution, who knew if there would be other ways for them to enhance themselves?

Would there have been other methods for them to consume and plunder?

At that time, if those creatures truly had a severe impact on the entire China, the consequences wouldn’t have been pleasant.

And at that very moment, right after the old man’s outburst, another group of people approached from a distance.

These individuals were dressed in deep brown attire, all in the same style.

Before they arrived, the voice of the person at the front of the group reached them from a distance.

“Elder Fu has spoken; how could we not dare to come?”
