If Xiao Nuan was previously the size of a half-grown lion, then after devouring the Cerberus, Xiao Nuan had clearly evolved.
Its body was over three meters long, reaching Lin Zhen's chest. Its red mane made its head seem even larger, but its face was still deceiving. It ran up to Lin Zhen and rubbed its head against Lin Zhen's chest.
Lin Zhen rubbed Xiao Nuan's head. He could clearly feel the strength of this fellow. If Xiao Nuan was an infant before, then he was now a child.
Luo Yun looked at Xiao Nuan with envy. "Brother Lin, although I don't know what rank this mutant beast of yours is, I feel that its future is limitless. The feeling it gives me right now is that it's not much weaker than an SS rank mutant beast."
Dongfang Jun nodded. "That's right. With this little fellow's help, we won't have to waste so much effort dealing with SS rank mutant beasts."
Lin Zhen waved Ardent Light in his hand. "Since we're strong now, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's continue forward and start sweeping through the third floor."
"In such a hurry? Aren't we going to rest? "Dongfang Jun asked.
"No need. I've already rested."
Lin Zhen flapped his Lightning Wings and flew out of the cave. Xiao Nuan immediately followed. Luo Yun glanced at Dongfang Jun. "Let's go. Brother Lin still has a lot to do outside. We have to hurry. While Brother Lin is here, we'll make a fortune."
Dongfang Jun smiled. "I've watched Lin Zhen grow up, but I didn't expect him to be this talented. Maybe we'll have to look up to him in the future."
"I think so too."
The two of them followed behind Lin Zhen and began to sweep through the third level.
With the Sacred Artefact and Xiao Nuan's obvious increase in strength, clearing out monsters became much easier. Xiao Nuan could hunt down quasi-SS ranked demonic beasts on his own. If he encountered SS-ranked demonic beasts, the three of them could finish them off in half an hour. Their teamwork was becoming more and more tacit.
He obtained crystals one by one, but he still couldn't find a suitable Earth Elemental Crystal.
On the seventh day, Xiao Nuan killed a Demonic Earth Bear, but it was a quasi-SS crystal. Lin Zhen wasn't too satisfied.
He hoped to obtain an SS-rank Earth Elemental Crystal. Only then would it be beneficial for the formation of the Dark Star. After all, the SS-rank Earth Elemental Crystal contained more Earth Elemental Crystals, and the Dark Star formed would be larger.
In Lin Zhen's mind, he planned to leave for at most half a month. Although he could access the internet on the third level during this time, there were no movements from the Vatican. He wanted to contact Su Mingyue, but he couldn't get in touch with her. Meanwhile, the fierce battle in Bingcheng was still ongoing.
On the twelfth day, Lin Zhen couldn't hold it in any longer.
He wanted to leave. Although he had gained quite a lot in the past few days, obtaining a Sacred Artefact helmet and skirt armor, and although his parents were safe for the time being, Bingcheng seemed to be in trouble.
This time, the scale of the Mutant Beast attack seemed to be even greater than the one in his previous life. The siege had been going on for almost a month, but the number of Mutant Beasts hadn't decreased. Even if there was a decrease, it was only the low-level cannon fodder. On the contrary, the number of high-level Mutant Beasts was increasing.
Bingcheng's ammunition reserves and manpower consumption had reached a dangerous level. Lin Zhen had seen An Ning several times through the internet.
An Ning's beautiful face had become somewhat haggard. After fighting on the frontlines for so long, Lin Zhen couldn't bear to see her like this.
On the thirteenth day, just as Lin Zhen was about to leave, Luo Yun ran over excitedly.
"Brother Lin, I have a big deal. Do you dare to do it once?"
"What big deal?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Right now, a few Star Rankers on the third level are planning to join forces to deal with the Earth Demon Dragon. They're asking if we want to participate."
"Earth Demon Dragon? Can we deal with it? That's a quasi-SSS Rank Demonic Beast. "Dongfang Jun was stunned.
"The three of us definitely can't do it. That's why we need more people. We all know that the Dragon Race has a habit of collecting treasures. This Earth Demon Dragon is considered the strongest Demonic Beast on the third level. Who knows, it might have collected a lot of good stuff. Moreover, Brother Lin, don't you want to collect Earth Elemental Crystals? I think this is an opportunity."
Dongfang Jun also looked at Lin Zhen. He said, "Brother Lin, it's definitely not easy to deal with the Earth Demon Dragon. Even if we join forces, it won't be easy. I see that you're anxious to leave. You have to think carefully."
Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. If he went out in his current state, he wouldn't be of much use. He might even be killed by the Church. It was better to hold on for a few more days.
"Go, let's go together. We'll leave after this."
Seeing that Lin Zhen agreed, Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun were also happy. The three of them, together with Xiao Nuan, immediately set off for the Demonic Dragon Mountain.
*****
"Machine gunners in the bunker, your mission is to average your strength. Focus on the attack. That's the job of the sniper team. Remember that!"
"The mutated birds are coming down. Prepare the petrol bombs!"
"Sniper team, kill that mutated bison that's ramming into the city wall. The city wall is our lifeline. We can't let it fall!"
"Where's the Ares Killing Team? The northeast city wall has fallen. A group of mutated apes is coming up! "
Near the Ice City's city wall, shouts and screams shook the sky. Countless mutated beasts were fighting to be first. They were like a tide that covered the city wall.
A group of bison attracted the firepower of the northeast city wall. Then, a group of mutated apes quickly climbed up. In a few seconds, they had reached the top of the city wall. They waved their huge claws and instantly tore hundreds of city guards into pieces.
At this time, a flag was raised. The employees of the An Family Group had formed a sniper team. The leader was a beautiful war goddess wearing a purple dress and light armor. Her slim and beautiful figure shuttled through the battlefield. She raised her sword and slashed it down, beheading the giant apes on the spot.
An Ning had no choice but to take the lead. Not only had the An Family invested hundreds of billions of funds in this battle, they had also invested countless manpower. In this month of siege warfare, tens of thousands of An Family Group's employees had fallen forever on this battlefield.
In the sky, a group of mutated geese swooped down, wanting to annihilate the An Family's killing team.
An Ning's sword danced. A huge wave appeared out of nowhere and smashed down, knocking down the group of mutated birds.
"Ah!"
An S-grade monkey king's sharp claws brushed past her shoulder, leaving a few wounds.
An Ning, who had been fighting for a long time, staggered a bit. However, she didn't care. Injuries were common on the battlefield. As Kris, who had cultivated in the Mediterranean Sea, she couldn't remember how many times she had been injured.
Just as she was about to finish off the S-grade monkey king, a figure suddenly dashed over from behind. The figure wielded a spear, and after a few rounds, he finally took down the monkey.
The man turned around, panting. He looked at An Ning with a gentle gaze. "An Ning, Miss, I'm sorry I'm late. Are you alright?"
An Ning frowned slightly. "Thank you, commander. I'm fine."
The commander's name was Shen Lixing. He came from the military and was a Star Realm expert. He was also the commander of the capital's city guards.
It was said that his father was a high-ranking official in China. An Ning didn't know if it was true or not. She didn't have the heart to gossip.
After Shen Lixing killed the monkey king, the wave of mutated beasts finally retreated.
Cheers came from the city walls. Shen Lixing, in particular, was surrounded by people like a moon surrounded by stars.
"Everyone, don't worry. We've already defeated the attacks of the mutated beasts time and time again. Moreover, I've already formulated a counterattack. Operation Decapitation. As long as you believe in me, I promise that the battle will end tonight!"
An Ning watched from afar. However, she didn't agree with Shen Lixing's words.
An Ning was very clear about the so-called Operation Decapitation. It was to organize a team of elites and head into the depths of the mutated beasts to kill the enemy of ten thousand men.
However, was it that easy to kill the enemy of ten thousand men? If things didn't go well, they would suffer heavy losses and return in defeat.
Bingcheng couldn't afford to suffer any more losses. Not only did it consume a lot of manpower and financial resources, but more importantly, the citizens couldn't see any hope.
The mutated beasts were endless. If nothing unexpected happened, it was only a matter of time before Bingcheng fell.
The Operation Decapitation must be carried out. However, An Ning felt that the current manpower was not enough to complete the mission. She suggested waiting for reinforcements. Bingcheng could still hold on for a while. If they failed, it would be a huge blow to the citizens' confidence. However, Shen Lixing disagreed.
This person wanted to achieve something and was very passionate about the Operation Decapitation. He had been planning for many days. Now, everything was ready and they were ready to set off.
After Shen Lixing shouted for a while, he came to An Ning's side.
"Miss An Ning, our Operation Decapitation Team is about to set off. Currently, we have already located the enemy of ten thousand men. I believe that after tonight, the mutated beasts will disperse and this battle will end. At that time, I will invite An Ning to my house as a guest and we can talk about our friendship."
An Ning raised her beautiful eyebrows and said: "I don't think it's necessary. My suggestion is to wait for reinforcements. The current strength is not enough to kill the enemy of ten thousand men."
"Reinforcements? Where are we going to get reinforcements? "
Shen Lixing said with a serious face: "Now, all the headquarter cities are in a difficult situation. They are being harassed and attacked by the mutated beasts to varying degrees. The reinforcements we can give Bingcheng are already at their limit. Unless you can find those peerless experts to kill the enemy of ten thousand men. However, those peerless experts are training in some ancient god ruins and might not know anything about Bingcheng. Even if they know, I'm afraid that those who are not from Bingcheng would not care about this."
An Ning hesitated for a while: "I received a message from Lin Zhen yesterday. He asked me to wait for him. I think he will definitely come to Bingcheng."
"Lin Zhen?"
Shen Lixing's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. He had almost forgotten that this beautiful woman in front of him was Lin Zhen's girlfriend. This made him, who was interested in An Ning, a little jealous.
"Miss An Ning, although Mr. Lin Zhen is a strong martial artist and has a passion for patriotism, don't forget that this is a battle between mutated beasts and not a battle of heroism. Even if Lin Zhen comes, can he save Bingcheng by himself? I don't think it's possible. Also, I highly doubt that Lin Zhen will come. As the commander-in-chief of Bingcheng, I cannot place all my hopes on one person. We have to save ourselves. "
An Ning turned her head: "I have already said what I should say. Since the commander-in-chief insists, then we will do as you say. As for your request to visit your house, I think it's better not. I am Lin Zhen's girlfriend. It's not convenient for me to be with other men. You can do as you wish."
After saying that, An Ning turned and walked down the city wall. She was also very tired and needed to rest.
Being rejected mercilessly by An Ning, Shen Lixing's face was a little gloomy.
Although he was also a genius and had a high position, he did not have the guts to challenge Lin Zhen.
"An Ning, after I save this battle, I will invite you to my house in front of everyone. Let's see how you will reject me then."
