Chapter 220: Chapter 213 Visiting the Firewood Office Thrice [1/3]
Chapter 220 -213 Visiting the Firewood Office Thrice [1/3]
The sea water boiled, and monstrous creatures that had never been seen on ordinary days emerged one after another.
The entire dam had fallen into a cold, deadly silence, and fear, like giant pythons, climbed onto the shivering bodies of the newcomers, binding them tightly.
It clutched their throats, gripping their necks.
From their slightly open mouths came indistinct sounds of terror.
“Hoo~ hoo-hoo~”
At that moment,
xu Yun, a professional physician from the Medical Department, held a silver bell, shaking it continuously, emitting a crisp and pleasant sound of peace that diffused hundreds of meters away, reaching the ears of all the newcomers.
“Dingling~!”
“Dingling~!”
This was naturally the Strange Implement known as the Peace Bell!
The welcoming ceremony aimed to open the eyes of the newcomers, acquainting them with the reality lurking beneath the world, to make them understand the duty of their people, and the monsters they needed to combat.
But it wasn’t simply meant to scare the newcomers.
The first time facing the impact of the Evil Tide, even well-trained investigators might be left with psychological scars. The newcomers, handpicked from various places by the Medical Department, might not lack potential, but at the moment, most of them were merely greenhorns.
They couldn’t withstand the onslaught of such an Evil Tide.
If they were panicked, it would defeat the purpose of the welcoming ceremony.
However, under the effect of the Peace Bell’s ringing, though the newcomers were afraid, they did not breach that threshold and still retained the ability to think.
Yet their faces were deathly pale, their limbs weak, and many were already unstable on their feet, slumping to the ground.
In contrast, the few figures still standing firm were exceptionally noticeable.
Ye Luo and Ma Nian stood steady and upright, but…
This did not mean they were unafraid!
They were nearly scared witless; they had simply overcome the instinct to tremble and were trying hard to stand straight, not wanting to embarrass themselves!
Especially Ma Nian, coming from a Hunter background, he had a clearer understanding of these monsters.
And… he was even more afraid!
It was not just a physical fright; he knew all too well how terrible these Mystical Evils were. This dark mass of the Evil Tide could obliterate a city! Surely something bad was not about to happen?!
And among them were many large Mystical Evils!
Those creatures standing over three meters tall, with immense strength and various terrifying abilities, Ma Nian had faced them before. Back then, six Hunters had worked together to surround and attack one, and still two of them had been lightly injured.
And now, just within his sight, there were dozens of such large Mystical Evils!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The trembling of the ground suddenly intensified, and a huge figure emerged from beneath the sea surface—first its head, then the upper body, gradually pushing away the seawater, walking towards the shore.
Its eyes glowed like the headlights of a large truck, its body was muscular and twisted as if it had no skin, its bloody flesh exposed, fierce and terrifying.
Especially because of its horrifying size, equivalent to four or five stories tall, even the large Mystical Evils looked like infants beside it; this giant could lightly kick one and send it flying into the distance.
This was…
An Extra-Large Mystical Evil!
Ma Nian had not seen one before, he had only heard some veteran Hunters speak of them, saying that an appearance of an Extra-Large Mystical Evil would bring about great disaster, resulting in heavy casualties and injuries.
Among the Hunters, only a very few could face an Extra-Large Mystical Evil. As the old Hunters knew, there was only one— the legendary top Hunter, Split Fist Martial Saint.
As for the others, even a group of more than a dozen veteran Hunters could not contend with such a terrifying Mystical Evil.
It goes to show!
Ma Nian was afraid, his heart pounded with tide-like fear.
The majority of the newcomers had no understanding of Mystical Evils, but just the sight of this flesh giant parting the sea was almost enough to make them faint from fear.
This was truly experiencing a great disaster, a profound terror!
We’re going to die, we’re all going to die—!
They could no longer speak, their limbs cold and weak, staring blankly into the distance, while the few, like Ye Luo and Ma Nian, the Awakeners, were also panicking inside.
At that moment,
Luo Jianxing and others sprang into action!
“Load the Fire Pearls!”
With a flick of the wrist, pebble-sized beads filled with flame light appeared, held between their fingers.
Using a forceful wrist motion and a skillful throwing technique, they hurled one Fire Pearl after another, projecting them one or two hundred meters, straight into the mass of Mystical Evils surging like a black tide.
Boom—!
Explosions of orange fireworks burst forth, rolling flames and waves of heat sweeping outward.
This was a single-use weapon accessory.
Modified from the ‘Fire Pearl’ created by the Investigation Bureau and inspired by the ingenuity of the Green-ranked skill ‘Fireball Technique,’ one could say that such a Fire Pearl was equivalent to an Awakener using the Fireball Technique at full power.
The Medical Department had stronger weapons, but combat operations had to consider cost issues. The Fire Pearls were cheap, and within the reimbursement limit for their missions, using more advanced weapons wasn’t assured.
Upon the explosion of the Fire Pearls, creatures like the Knocking Child, the Nodding Corpse, and some strange small aquatic Mystical Evils were annihilated in an instant.
Even two-star Mystical Evils that were hit directly would be injured.
If several Fire Pearls could hit at the same time, it was possible to kill a two-star Mystical Evil, but it wasn’t worth it.
Luo Jianxing and other frontline combatants tossed out forty or fifty Fire Pearls in total, specifically targeting dense groups of Mystical Evils.
In a short time, countless small Mystical Evils were obliterated.
The entire tide of Mystical Evils thinned significantly.
“Brothers, let’s go.”
Luo Jianxing drew his battle sabre from his waist, a green-tier weapon whose gleaming blade emitted a cold light. Leading the charge, he rushed toward the oncoming Mysterious Evil Tide.
Hiss——!
By now, the Evil Tide had receded significantly, but it still contained all its large Mysterious Evils without exception.
The specially made weapons that had made quite an impact earlier were still only able to eliminate the Common Mystic Evils. Seeing Manager Luo gripping his sword and charging in, entering a group of Mysterious Evils numbering in the hundreds, former Hunter Ma Nian couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Ye Luo’s eyes widened.
“So fast!”
Luo Jianxing was indeed fast, his Awakened Ability was a speed enhancement, and he had even cultivated his swordsmanship to the level of a master!
He possessed the second level of intricate body control mastery! Even when he burst forth at super-fast speeds, not a single mistake would occur.
His figure swept past a two-star Mysterious Evil, like a gust of wind that carried a reddish glint within it.
This was a blade slash.
The blade slash hit precisely on the Mysterious Evil’s vital spot, instantly killing it with a single strike.
KO! Monster slain +1!
Luo Jianxing moved as fleeting as the wind, his mood just as exhilarating, as he made a beeline for the most formidable three-star Mysterious Evil.
His speed surged once again, trailing a black streak behind him.
Skill: Shadow Step!
First, he severed the dangerous forked tongue of the flesh giant, then he sliced through one of the giant’s calf bones, and finally, his blade slash extended a several meters-long red glow, with both hands he struck down forcefully!
Boom——!!

The red glow tore open the skull of the giant.
Luo Jianxing fell from mid-air, kneeling on one knee.
His comrades had nearly finished off the remaining Mysterious Evils amidst the smoke and flames of war. As the flesh giant crashed heavily behind him, the wind lifted his hair, and he didn’t need to look back.
For this act, Luo Jianxing gave himself 82 points.
Compared to the likes of the grand instructors, he definitely fell short, but he had finally managed to seize an opportunity to show off—it was not easy!
Especially in front of the cute newbies.
Luo Jianxing took a moment to catch his breath, calming the discomfort from the significant loss of life energy, and quickly returned to the top of the levee.
Welcoming gazes of shock, admiration, and reverence.
Ah~ It had been so long since he had enjoyed such attention.
Ever since he had joined the fight against Mysterious Evils, from his days as a trainee to becoming an official warrior, he had never been the most dazzling one.
Among his batch of five, Luo Rui, Ming Deng, Old Gou, Xu Tian… there were four whose combat strength surpassed his own.
And those who joined the organization later, like Fan Anyuan, Bai Yansi and others, either caught up or surpassed him.
There were even newbies like Wang Wu, Lin Daozhi, Mazeaki Maika, Isabelle, Ma Wen who had been training for little more than a week, but were already close to catching up with him.
The speed of their progress was simply frightening!
Perhaps among these newbies, there were monsters like Wang Wu as well.
The more Luo Jianxing thought about it, the sourer he felt—it was hard for him.
But at this moment, he still had a faint smile on his face as he sheathed his battle sabre.
In the eyes of the newbies, particularly those ‘insiders’ like Ma Nian, it was all the demeanor of a strong warrior.
Luo the boss, he must be a top-tier warrior!
He too wanted to become such a strong warrior!
…
In this new era, the reality lurking beneath the surface was gradually being revealed to the public.
The Huang Country was slightly turbulent, but it was quickly suppressed.
The public’s attention was more on the Awakeners of the new era and the training programs of the investigative bureau. If there was any change, it was that the Awakeners had now stepped onto the stage, with many companies vying to recruit them.
Having an Awakener employee at this time was indeed prestigious.
If there were children in a relative’s family who had passed the selection of the investigative bureau, it was almost comparable to the former accolade of being admitted to Huangdu University or Shuimu University.
It brought honor to their ancestors.
However, this was only in Huang Country, confined to the Eastern lands. Abroad, with the unveiling of the great terror beneath reality, it had stirred up storm after storm.
Protests, assaults on Super Warfare Department buildings, live broadcasts of people getting eaten by Mystic Evils, and so on.
One incident after another left the entire Wavemist Nation in dire straits.
Minister Anderson felt as if his handsome chestnut-colored short hair was about to fall out from stress!
Especially because,
“Look at that ancient Eastern nation, they very promptly eliminated the Mystic Evils, and what about us? What is our Super Warfare Department doing! These damned fools are just wasting our taxpayers’ money.”
“Why doesn’t that magical East have any disasters? Is this the punishment of the Lord?”
“Great Lord, your devout believer is willing to offer up their flesh and blood in exchange for your forgiveness.”
In the midst of the Red Moon ceremonies, the Wavemist Nation, which was most severely affected, was almost in total chaos now.
Worse still, there were numerous doomsday cults emerging, most of them fake with no supernatural powers supporting them. But in such an environment, their Super Warfare Department also couldn’t clearly distinguish which was real and which was fake.
Arrest them all? They didn’t have enough manpower for that.
Moreover, this was a matter of public sentiment.
The entire Wavemist Nation was almost more chaotic than before the Red Moon disaster.
In such a situation, Anderson, representing the Super Warfare Department, made his third visit to the Snow-Filled City branch of the anti-Mystic Evils organization.
