"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

As soon as Tie Xiong and the others got out of the car, they felt the ground trembling.

Everyone looked up, then froze.

A giant creature, about thirty meters tall, was slowly approaching them.

"Holy crap!"

Li Xun couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Even the three seasoned retired military veterans widened their eyes in shock.

Although they had seen the scorpion creature many times in various reports before,

they couldn’t hide their astonishment when encountering it in person.

"Isn’t it too big?"

Tie Shanshan, wearing a gas mask, licked her dry lips.

The scorpion creature had grown even larger compared to before.

Fortunately, Commander Wenma had promptly ordered the evacuation of the villagers and city dwellers near Shengmai. Otherwise, the creature would have grown to an unimaginable size.

"Everyone, spread out!"

"Don’t stay too concentrated!"

Tie Xiong waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse to avoid being wiped out in one go by the monster.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and quickly began to move.

Taking advantage of the moment, Tie Xiong pulled out the Evil Ghost statue from his waist.

As he chanted spells, red beams shot out from the Evil Ghost statue, heading straight for the scorpion creature several hundred meters away.

These red beams quickly penetrated the scorpion creature’s body.

The scorpion creature, which had been advancing continuously, suddenly halted.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button at that moment.

"Did it succeed so easily?"

Seeing the scorpion creature suddenly stop, Li Xun exclaimed in surprise.

Although the creature stopped moving, Tie Xiong frowned.

"Be careful, everyone!"

"This creature has no blood in its body..."

Tie Xiong warned in a deep voice.

"Roar..."

At the same time, the scorpion creature opened its terrifying bloody mouth and let out a frightening roar.

The roar was like a twelve-level storm, blowing some small trees on the ground into the air.

Tie Shanshan, Li Xun, and the others were blown back repeatedly, almost getting swept away.

Seeing this, Tie Xiong once again chanted a spell.

The statue in his hand instantly shot out five red beams.

These beams of red light, like ropes, tied themselves to Tie Shanshan, Li Xun, and three others.

With the red light’s stabilization, their positions were finally secured.

But just then, countless tentacles like intestines suddenly shot out from the scorpion creature’s mouth, heading straight for Tie Xiong and the others.

"Avoid quickly!"

"Don’t let those intestines wrap around you!"

Li Xun, having seen the tentacle intestines’ power in various reports, hastily warned everyone.

Tie Xiong also retracted the red light in time, allowing everyone to move freely, preventing them from being entangled by the tentacle intestines.

Although these tentacles were invulnerable and fearless of blades and bullets, the scorpion creature was still several hundred meters away.

Once everyone darted into the woods, the length of these tentacles was limited, unable to reach them.

The scorpion creature seemed to realize this, quickly retracting its tentacles and starting to advance toward them again.

"Uncle Tie, what should we do now?"

Li Xun wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked.

Although Shengmai is located in northern Talan, it’s still a tropical monsoon climate.

After running a while, combined with the gas mask, sweat poured down without stopping.

Moreover, as everyone ran more, they inhaled more air.

Despite the gas mask’s protection, it was inevitable to inhale some toxic gases from the ooze.

After entering the woods and running for a while, Li Xun started to feel dizzy.

"I’m working on a solution..."

Tie Xiong was about to reply when he suddenly heard the sound of planes whizzing by.

The others heard it too.

They all looked up to see several planes flying toward them from the Shengmai direction.

"Is this Talan’s military support?"

"It seems they’re not that useless after all!"

Seeing this, Li Xun exclaimed with joy.

With planes holding the monster back, they could definitely deal with the attacks more calmly.

Standing on the Shadow Beast while using the Invisibility Talisman to hide himself, Lu Heng also noticed the approaching planes.

Initially, he too thought they were sent by the Talan military to assist Tie Xiong and the rest.

But soon, he frowned.

Because these planes bore the Eagle Country’s flag and had nothing to do with Talan.

More importantly, these planes weren’t fighters; they were bombers!

...

At the same time, an Eagle Country attack helicopter slowly landed at the Shengmai Command Headquarters.

Wenma Menglachaweng, who had just been notified by his adjutant, walked out with a puzzled expression.

Four people disembarked from the helicopter.

Three were in military uniforms, tall and robust, clearly Eagle Country soldiers.

The remaining one was a typical Talan national.

"Secretary Boding?"

Wenma Menglachaweng naturally didn’t recognize the three Eagle Country soldiers.

But the sole Talan national was very familiar to him.

Because he was the secretary to Talan’s current Minister of Defense, Supana.

"Commander Wenma, hello!"

The secretary named "Boding" approached with a smile and shook hands with Wenma Menglachaweng.

"Secretary Boding, why are you here?"

"Shengmai is very dangerous now. If we can’t stop that creature, we might have to evacuate temporarily."

Wenma Menglachaweng asked, puzzled.

"Commander Wenma, let me introduce you!"

"These three gentlemen are officers from the Eagle Country stationed at Singa Naval Base..."

Boding first introduced the three Eagle Country soldiers beside him to Wenma Menglachaweng.

Wenma Menglachaweng instinctively shook hands with them, then looked at Boding even more puzzled.

With Shengmai so dangerous now, what is the meaning of Eagle Country sending three officers?

Boding smiled slightly and said calmly: "Commander Wenma, by order of the minister, you are to return to Banco immediately to report!"

"The military base at Shengmai will temporarily be handed over to these three officers from the Eagle Country military to manage..."

Wenma Menglachaweng was dumbfounded after hearing what he had to say.

What does this mean?

At such a critical moment, they actually transferred him away?

And handed over the Shengmai military base to the Eagle Country to manage?

His eyebrows furrowed deeply; he simply couldn’t figure out what the Banco government intended to do.

"Let’s go, Commander Wenma!"

"I’ll accompany you back to Banco!"

Boding continued with a smile.

"Alright!"

Wenma Menglachaweng nodded helplessly.

Although he couldn’t figure out the situation, he was a soldier and had to follow orders.
