Like a colossal machine, the Martial Arts Department (MAD) of Jiangnan promptly began to operate, receiving and transmitting information after information.
"According to our intelligence, the Black King Drake of Chongming Island must have proven itself and ascended beyond rank-nine. Right now, many Ferals within several hundred kilometers of Chongming Island are on a rampage, converging on Chongming Island … in less than three days, a massive beast swarm would take shape."
There was a somber look on Qin Fan's face as he reported the information he obtained to the MAD headquarters at once.
A Feral Swarm would definitely be triggered when a Feral ascends as a Feral King. It appeared to be an unwritten rule, and once a Feral ascends above rank-nine, it would immediately cause chaos and attack human cities.
When the Wolf King of Dong Mountain had ascended, he had attacked humans and launched an attack. However, the speed at which the government moved the people was lightning fast, so the casualties were not too high. Additionally, with the deterrence of the nuclear bomb, it did not cause much chaos.
To be precise, Long Mountain Lin's injury was caused by a Feral ascending as a Feral King.
The scale of such a Feral Swarm would definitely be massive, and the Feral Kings would only direct the Feral Swarm and not join the fight, or human divine-tier elites would intervene. Be that as it may, the scale of Ferals numbering in the tens of thousands was horrific, and Jinghong City in Yunnan was destroyed by a Feral Swarm a while ago, with almost a million casualties.
That battle was so terrible that even the newly ascended Black Ape King had joined the fray, only to be cut down by a human martial elite with a single sword strike.
"Investigate at once!"
Qin Fan said somberly. "Notify the intelligence personnel in the wildlands to keep an eye on Chongming Island!"
"Chongming Island is located in the Yangtze Delta, and is not far from cities such as Jiangnan, Yangzhou, Jiaxing, and Demonic City. We must determine which city the Feral Swarm is heading towards before it fully erupts!"
Wang Gang bowed with fist-palm salute and turned to leave.
Qin Fan leaned back in his chair in silence for a long time before dialing a number.
"Deputy Zhou …"
Zhou Yu said. "Don't worry, Chief Qin. I've already asked Minister Wang and mobilized elites from every province."
"Moreover, aren't the Murong clan, the Long clan, and the Wei clan holding an auction in Jiangnan? There are quite a few elites heading to Jiangnan right now, and I've just contacted them. They would send reinforcements when the time comes. "
Qin Fan was delighted, but soon flashed a pained smile. "Deputy Zhou, you know that the martial clans have always prioritized profit …"
Assistant Zhou sneered and said, "Minister Wang said that defending the homeland and resisting the beast tide is the greatest benefit. If the three aristocratic families don't listen to your orders, then there's no need for them to exist."
Hanging up, Zhou Yu turned to look behind him.
Wang Hou was leaning on his leather chair, smoking a cigar, while he rested his feet on the desk.
On the desk, there was a thermos flask filled with Wang Hou's favorite caterpillar fungus and wolfberries.
Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable all over when he saw Wang Hou's behavior and the thermos on the desk, and could not help saying, "Minister Wang, you're now a Void-tier elite and the highest-ranking person in charge of the Martial Arts Department (MAD). It wouldn't look good if the media captured you like that, would it?"
Wang Hou stubbed out his cigar and took a sip of water from his thermos, saying flatly, "Which media would be so awesome as to capture a photo of me without my permission?"
"Even if they did, would they have the guts to spread it without my permission?"
"So what if I'm Void-tier? Void-tier elites are human too. Can't I drink some wolfberries if my kidneys are weak? "
Spitting out a wolfberry he accidentally drank, Wang Hou rose to his feet and walked to the window, saying, "Old Zhou, help me contact Chief Commander Li of the military and Minister Huang of the Education Department … to make it big this time. That Black King Drake is just a newly ascended Feral King and isn't that powerful. Contact eight to ten pinnacle rank-nines and see if they could kill it!"
Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he was about to say something when Wang Hou stopped him.
Turning around, Marquis smirked coldly. "If we can kill them, then we'll kill all the newly promoted Vicious Beast Kings who want to start a beast tide in the future, until the newly promoted Vicious Beast Kings don't dare to start a beast tide anymore.
"Minister Wang, I'm afraid the other Feral Kings wouldn't agree to that, would they?"
Wang Hou said flatly. "We'll start a war if they don't, and we'll just have to fight until the world collapses. When that happens, we'll wash the land with nuclear bombs and humans are wiped out. Would the Ferals survive then?"
"Damn it!"
"Starting a Feral Swarm just to ascend? Who gave those beasts the right to do that?"
Zhou Yu felt his blood surging endlessly as he growled, "Count me in on this mission to kill the Black King Drake!"
"Minister Wang, I'll contact the military and the Education Department right now and have them deploy the best rank-nines in the country. If ten isn't enough, we'll have fifteen, and if push comes to shove, we'll have every rank-nine in the country. I'm not convinced we can't cut down a newly ascended Feral King!"
The fact that the Black King Drake had ascended as a Feral King had shaken the entire Hua Nation's hierarchy. Be that as it may, Jiang He had already ventured deep into the wildlands and was getting closer to Chongming Island.
After leaving Jiangnan City and driving around 200 kilometers, he could no longer drive his car.
The road ahead had been severely damaged. There were traces of battle everywhere. The footprints of the beasts left deep marks on the road.
Getting out of his car and putting his sports car into his Void Storage, Jiang He cast Blind Princess's Eight Practices and sprinted towards Chongming Island.
Even as he sprinted, information regarding Chongming Island flashed in his mind.
Located in the Yangtze River Delta, Chongming Island had once been a prosperous and prosperous place, with many development zones and scenic spots nearby.
It was also the point where many rivers converged, with their waters flowing into the oceans.
However, the place declined after the Revival of Qi.
Feral attacks were common in the rivers, and behemoths of the oceans had even swam upstream to wreak havoc here.
Now, Chongming Island was essentially a no-man's land.
"Sigh …"
"This place used to be prosperous, but now it's like this!"
As Jiang He sprinted towards Chongming Island, he saw some ruined cities, towns, and factories along the way. There were also dilapidated cars, buses, and skeletons on both sides of the road.
And yet, Jiang He was surprised …
He only found a few average rank-one and rank-two Ferals after running all the way, which left him a little depressed.
"Aren't Ferals supposed to be nocturnal? Why do I rarely run into any Ferals when I go out at night? "
"Could the Ferals' habits have changed, and they are now sleeping at night?"
Still, he soon dismissed that thought.
As he approached Chongming Island, Jiang He realized in delight that there were more Ferals around him!
