In an instant, the surface of the water was covered in torn pieces of piranhas' flesh.
However, the surface of the water did not calm down because of that. It started boiling even more fiercely. Soon, eight tentacles that looked like Slit-mouthed Anacondas shot out from the bottom of the water and went to bite Meng Chao's limbs and head.
Meng Chao snorted coldly. His chain sabers danced around him and formed an absolute defense that was like a meat grinder that cut the tentacles into pieces.
The tentacles danced madly before they retracted, and a large object appeared in the darkness.
The tentacles belonged to an aquatic monster that looked like an octopus. This thing practically had no bones, and it was the softest thing in the world. It had crawled in through the crack when Gao Ye had crashed into the tunnel.
'There's an octopus in the river too? What a messy Other World!'
Meng Chao swung his chain sabers and created dozens of afterimages. Almost at the same time, they bound the octopus monster's tentacles.
The runes shone along the chains, as if blades made of fire and lightning had been stabbed into the chains.
The octopus monster was in pain, and its head, which looked like a heart, tore open. It might have wanted to spit ink, poison, or organs.
Meng Chao was not going to give it the chance. His spirit energy flowed through more than sixty main meridians and hundreds of branch meridians. He lit up all his spirit acupoints, and his spirit tattoos shot out of his body like domineering tattoos. He fused his body with his weapon.
There was no way Meng Chao would give it the chance. His spirit energy flowed through more than sixty main meridians and hundreds of branch meridians. He lit up all the spirit acupoints in his body, and his spirit tattoos appeared. They were like domineering tattoos that fused his body with his weapon.
This time, the two chain sabers spun forward and stabbed forward like a spear formed by lightning and flames. They went through the mouth and sank into the octopus monster's body.
The octopus monster's inborn skill was interrupted, and it suffered a spirit energy backlash. Then, Meng Chao's two chain sabers moved madly in its body, and it started convulsing as if it had been electrocuted.

In an instant, sparks and electrical arcs gushed out of the broken tentacles. Smoke also came out of its head, and it gave off a pungent, burnt smell.
Thud!
Two chain sabers shot out from the back of its head.
At the same time, its mangled flesh and blood also shot out.
It shriveled up like an empty rice bag and lost its last bit of life.
Meng Chao put away his chain sabers.
The entire attack only lasted for five seconds.
Within five seconds, he had completely suppressed the other party, not giving him the slightest chance to retaliate.
A year ago, he was a one-star superhuman who had to rack his brains to fight against high-grade Nightmarish Beasts when he ran into them on the northern frontlines. He had even turned around and run.
To this day, he didn't even bat an eyelid and could easily kill a Level 3 Nightmarish Beast.
To Meng Chao, this was a year where he improved by leaps and bounds, and he was reborn!
His spirit flames illuminated the puddle and the countless prawn soldiers and crab generals who were scrambling to escape.
When they sensed his absolute strength, the small aquatic monsters' desire to survive overwhelmed everything else.
Meng Chao returned to Lu Siya's side and helped her open a quick-acting spirit energy supplement he extracted from a superbeast's blood. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine."
She lowered her head and cast a glance at the communicator on her wrist. She frowned a little and said, "The captain has already received our signal. He's rushing over, but he'll run into a lot of monsters on the way, so he might need some time. Can you handle it?"
"I can!"
Meng Chao paused for a moment, then felt a little puzzled. "A lot of monsters? Where did they come from? There wasn't any fog over the past few days! "
There was no fog that tore through large space-time rifts.
It was impossible for the monsters in the wild to be transported into Dragon City in groups.
Fine space-time rifts could appear at any moment.
But these rifts could only transport a few monsters over. Once they were discovered by passionate citizens, they would usually swarm over and kill them. They would then be chopped up and brought home to cook.
'Could it be … Gao Ye?'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he thought of a possibility. 'Over the past few days, aside from emptying a building's foundation and eating half of a subway, Gao Ye has been leading us in circles. Aside from that, he hasn't done anything major.
'Could it be that he secretly dug a tunnel from Dragon City to the wild so that the monsters in the wild could pass through the defense line at the perimeter of Dragon City and secretly lurk in Dragon City? Then, when the zombies cause a huge ruckus in Dragon City, they'll launch an attack?'
If that was really the case, it meant that the monsters' ability to work together had increased by leaps and bounds. They could now be treated as a civilization.
When he thought of this, a thought appeared in Meng Chao's head.
'Wait, Gao Ye should still be nearby. Why is there suddenly no movement?'
"Careful!" Lu Siya shouted.
The water in the tunnel suddenly turned murky. Soon, it turned into tumbling mud.
A huge vortex appeared five meters in front of Meng Chao.
As the sound of water splashing rose, a figure even larger than the octopus monster jumped out of the mud and charged at him.
It was Gao Ye, who had turned into the Supernatural Entity, Earthquake!
"Gao Ye!"
Meng Chao roared and attacked with his chain sabers again.
But the air current that came out of Gao Ye's mouth was mixed with shattered stones and mud. It blew the chain sabers off course and sank into the walls of the tunnel.
When he sensed the thunderous momentum coming at him, Meng Chao could only yank his chain sabers and dodge to the side.
Gao Ye's huge body, which was covered in spikes, crashed into the water and created a momentum that could shake mountains. The walls of the tunnel also cracked.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth. The spirit tattoos on her body shone, and they spread out like dazzling roots.
Not only did they heal the cracks, they also turned the concrete and stone under Gao Ye into mud. Once half of his heavy body sank into the ground, the mud solidified again and turned into more than ten spikes that stabbed into Gao Ye's body.
But against Meng Chao's expectations, Gao Ye was like an elephant that had been stabbed by an embroidery needle. The spikes on his body trembled at a high frequency and easily shattered the sturdy stone and concrete. Then, he swung his tail and crawled out of the ground.
When he faced Meng Chao, he opened his mouth, which was covered in dozens of ring-shaped teeth that could crush a subway car.
Dozens of green eyes shone with a dark light in the folds that surrounded his head. They stared at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
There wasn't a shred of humanity in the dozens of gazes. All that was left was an endless, brutal desire to prey on animals.
"Gao Ye, I didn't expect that you'd become like this!"
Meng Chao gasped for breath and said with a pained expression, "I went to the hospital you often went to for treatment and saw the ward you were in when you were hospitalized. I also saw the patients who lost their dignity as humans.
"I also joined a lot of Blue Home's activities and understood the ideals of the Home Party. I also saw a lot of the problems in Dragon City.
"Yes, I admit that there are problems in Dragon City. Our civilization is sick. We transmigrated from Earth to the Other World, and we're not used to it. In this new world with spirit energy and miracles, countless normal people who haven't awakened to supernatural abilities have gradually lost their sense of direction and can't find their place. In fact, they might be cast far behind by the world that is changing with each passing day and end up as sacrifices of the era.
"Gao Ye, I'm the same as you. We both come from normal families that have no power or influence. We're willing to fight for normal people as superhumans and hope to see superhumans and normal people coexist in harmony. We can work together to build our homes and create a beautiful future.
"I can agree with your thoughts. Superhumans need to be kept in check, and normal people should think of ways to find their own strength instead of waiting for the blood of the strong to flow for the weak.
"But —
"Having a beautiful wish isn't a reason for you to do whatever you want.
"Look at what you've become. You're completely lost in the twisted power, and you're getting further and further away from your original intentions!"
Meng Chao's deafening roar was followed by Gao Ye's.
Gao Ye also stopped moving, as if he had been immobilized.
His huge body twitched lightly.
It was as if Meng Chao's words had stirred the last few remaining human nerves in his demonic body.
"Haven't you noticed yet? You've been used!"
Meng Chao struck while the iron was hot and continued. "Yes, there are indeed a lot of problems with the current order in Dragon City. Since the apocalypse, even though we've built the Survival Committee and the Supernatural Tower, the law of the apocalypse still affects everyone deeply." The mega corporations can do whatever they want, and the rich families become abnormally arrogant. The strong become stronger, and the poor have fewer and fewer paths of escape. These problems exist, and we have to change them.
"But reforming order doesn't mean that we have to completely destroy it!
"Dragon Citizens have had enough of the lawlessness and the collapse of order in the apocalypse.
"They've also had enough of being threatened by zombies and monsters and trembling in fear.
"Look at what you've done. You helped the abnormal beasts transport monsters to the underground of Dragon City and tried to destroy the first tunnel under the river after Dragon City transmigrated. You caused the deaths of countless innocent citizens, the people you said you wanted to protect!
"Do you really know what you're doing? Did you really not notice that you've already deviated from your original intentions and are walking further into the darkness?
"You're still being controlled by others, and you don't even know that you're helping the wicked!
"Wake up, Gao Ye. You shouldn't have become like this. Humans shouldn't become like this!"
Gao Ye was silent.
There was no longer a single inch of his deformed and swollen body that could show a human's expression.
There were only dozens of beady eyes that looked about in his wrinkles. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"Even though you've changed beyond recognition, I'm still willing to trust you one more time based on the words you left for me in your experiment log!"
Meng Chao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "I believe that you'll be able to break free from the enemy's control and find your original intentions as well as awaken your pride as a human.
"If you turn back now, you can still make it.
"Stop destroying things. Tell me where you've been hiding over this period of time to receive treatment and evolve. Your mutation isn't a natural evolution. It's the result of modifications in a lab.
"Tell me, who exactly is the person who modified you, where is the other party's laboratory, and what are their plans and objectives?
"I swear that once we get rid of the enemies who used you, we will definitely solve the problems in Dragon City, but we won't do it the way you're doing it now!"
