I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1453 - 1457: I’ll Protect the One They Want to Capture

"Quick, quick, quick, you go guard mid lane!"

"What kind of maneuver is that? I'm here to help you catch someone, and you're hiding under the tower? You call yourself Main God? Pathetic, you're so bad at this game!"

"Hey, what are you doing? Can't handle losing?"

Ever since Helaer entered the Dark Abyss, Zhang Menglong had completely given up, no longer advancing any pilot training work or the base's science research.

But humans indeed ushered in a period of peace, with all the monsters gathering near the dimensional rifts, not daring to invade any area where humans survived anymore. Humans began large-scale reconstruction of the destroyed cities.

However, they always had the Dark Abyss on their minds, not knowing whether Helaer would return triumphantly or if other monster leaders would bring hordes of monsters back.

"Menglong, aren't you worried at all?" Hui and the others were not as calm as Zhang Menglong.

"What's there to worry about? I've evolved Helaer into a perfect life form like the Nine-Headed Dragon. If it can't sweep through the Dark Abyss with that, it would be a disgrace to me!"

"Instructor Zhang! There's a severe disturbance in the rift leading to the Dark Abyss, please come take a look!" A researcher hurriedly ran into the lounge of Zhang Menglong's residence.

Since a few minutes ago, powerful space-time fluctuations had been detected. When the rift first appeared, a similar situation occurred, and everyone was very worried about what might happen.

One rift had already brought such a calamity to humanity. If it continued to expand or increase, it would be a catastrophe.

"Oh? It seems that big guy should have completed his mission!" Zhang Menglong showed a satisfied smile, "Let's go, take a look!"

...

Hundreds of people stood on the deck of a spaceship overlooking the spatial rift, which was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, undulating like a tumultuous sea, as if about to change at any moment.

Suddenly, the rift, originally only a few hundred meters wide, began expanding rapidly, with powerful auras seeping out from it, and the waves on the rift's surface gradually came to a standstill, revealing faint shadows growing larger on the other side.

"Something is about to come out!"

"Thud!" With a loud rumble of footsteps, a colossal creature emerged from the other end of the rift, about 600 meters tall, covered in steel-like scales, looking extremely ferocious.

"It's an SSS-grade monster! It's not Helaer!"

"Did it lose? Did more monsters discover our world?" Everyone's faces looked grim, filled with unease.

Moments later, a second monster appeared, followed by a third, and a fourth...

By the time hundreds of monsters appeared, everyone had become somewhat numb. All of these monsters were SSS-grade beasts, any one of which could recreate catastrophic events from several centuries ago.

However, what was curious was that after they came through, they did not show any tendency for destruction; they just stood there observing their surroundings, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Roar!" A roar penetrated the dimensional rift, accompanied by an aura of dominion, as a colossal creature with nine heads came rolling out.

As it emerged, the hundreds of other monsters all prostrated under it, seemingly welcoming the arrival of their king.

"It's Helaer!"

"What is he here for?"

"Bringing so many monsters, could it be to retaliate against us?"

"With so many SSS-grade monsters, if they really wanted to wreak havoc, humanity could be wiped out in days."

"Take the ship over there!" Zhang Menglong said.

"Instructor Zhang, that's too dangerous," Ao Kang advised.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Zhang Menglong smiled, "He's just here with his little brothers to pay respects to the boss of bosses. No need to be afraid, go on."

The spaceship slowly moved in front of Helaer; inside the cockpit, the pilots were sweating and feeling cold all over. At such a close distance, if Helaer suddenly attacked, they wouldn't have time to react, and it would surely be a disastrous end.

Beside Helaer, a monster with a ferocious mouth on its chest suddenly gathered a ball of black energy in its chest...

"Crack!" Helaer instantly bit that monster on the neck with one of his heads, ripping its head right off, followed by another roar.

All nine of Helaer's heads focused on Zhang Menglong, then gradually bowed down, and Zhang Menglong felt the message transmitted from Helaer's soul.

He had killed his arch-nemesis, and all monsters in the Dark Abyss had submitted to him. Now, he was the King of Monsters in the Dark Abyss!

Today, he was bringing these monster leaders to meet his own.

Following Helaer's lead, the other hundreds of monster leaders also prostrated and bowed towards Zhang Menglong. Although they didn't know why their boss would submit to such a small creature, their boss's ferocity and power gave them no courage or right to question it.

"Hahaha, great!" Zhang Menglong floated up, patting one of Helaer's heads, "You've done very well. From today, take your little brothers back to the Dark Abyss, find a group of subordinates to guard the other side of this rift entrance, and let no monster disturb the humans of this world."

"Roar!" Helaer nodded, then issued commands to all the monsters. He bowed to Zhang Menglong once more before disappearing into the light curtain of the rift.

...

"Trial completed!"

At this moment, the Guardian finally announced the end of the fourth test. Beams of light enveloped the challengers, and Zhang Menglong also turned into light in the eyes of those humans.

"The instructor turned into light!"

"He truly is an angel sent from above to save us!"

"Is the instructor leaving?"

"Instructor, we'll miss you, come back and see us when you can!"

"On behalf of all humanity, I bid farewell to Instructor Zhang!" Ao Kang gave the highest military salute.

Amidst the noisy sounds, the scene before Zhang Menglong's eyes gradually blurred.

...

This trial, except for those unlucky ones who got stepped on by mechas or monsters upon entering this world, resulted in almost no casualties. Because Zhang Menglong saved the entire world almost single-handedly, they could spend three years idly like salted fish.

"Fifth trial begins, the trial content: assist in capturing deserters from the Main World! Successfully capture deserters, directly enter the Main World! Others move on to the next trial!"

"What? Directly enter the Main World!"

"Who… exactly caused such generous conditions to be offered by the people of the Main World?"

"Directly entering the Main World! Isn't that the goal of all our struggles?"

"Brother Zhang, with your prowess, you'll definitely catch those deserters," others looked on with envious eyes. The pity was, if Zhang Menglong succeeded, he would enter the Main World, and for the remaining layers of trials, there would be no one to carry them further.

"Catch deserters?" Zhang Menglong smirked playfully, "I don't plan to do that, the one they're after… hehe, I'm going to protect instead!"
