Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 72

Chapter 72:

In just an instant, the previously bustling night scene turned into an incomparably terrifying sight.

With no time to think, she saw a brick wall collapse in the tremor. Just as a mother and daughter were about to be crushed, Cheng Xi quickly raised her hand, and sand surged up, forming a giant pillar that suddenly propped up the brick wall.

In the next second, Cheng Xi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a vendor who was unwilling to part with his goods, trying to bend down and pick them up, but he was knocked to the ground and stepped on several times.

Sand surged out again, pulling him to a safe area.

But no matter how powerful Cheng Xi was, she was no match for the chaos.

The ground cracked, and a person who had lost their way fell in, letting out a sharp scream.

Cheng Xi quickly raised her hand, but it was too late. In her anxiety, a pair of golden eagle wings suddenly flashed by, and a gust of wind swept past, pulling the person up.

“Quick, gather your people and drive the crowd to the southwest,” a strange look flashed in Ji Yulin’s eyes, and the formless wave was then retracted.

Cheng Xi subconsciously wanted to save people but was grabbed by the wrist by Ji Yulin, who snapped, “How many can you save now?! Go and get people!”

Cheng Xi suddenly sobered up. She didn’t care why Ji Yulin was telling people to go to the southwest. She instinctively trusted the other and immediately shouted, “Silver Feather, let’s go and get people.”

The crow over there was hesitant, hovering between the two injured people, but she saw a peach-pink tentacle appear and pull the two of them at the same time.

The crow was not surprised and just flapped its wings and finally turned back.

On the contrary, Cheng Xi’s eyes widened in extreme surprise. Unfortunately, now was not the time to ask questions.

The crow flapped its wings and instantly grew ten times larger. A sand pillar rose from under Cheng Xi’s feet. After rising into the air, she leaped up and stepped directly on the bird’s back.

“Silver Feather, let’s go.”

She shouted, and the bird instantly flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

The wings stirred up a wind that blew toward Qi Fu’s side. Her legs gave way, and all her strength instantly disappeared. She almost fell from mid-air. Fortunately, Ling Yun squeezed out of the crowd and caught her in time.

Qi Fu didn’t have time to bother with Ling Yun. She turned her head to look at the crow, her heart filled with the previous feeling, strange and incredible. Why would she have a feeling of a subject’s submission to a king?

Fortunately, this time did not last long. As the crow flew up, Qi Fu’s strength surged out again, and her golden feathers still shone.

In the next second, Qi Fu easily slipped out of Ling Yun’s arms, without leaving a single word.

Ling Yun’s face instantly grew cold.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on these things. The matter from last night had been dragged out until today and still had not been dealt with, let alone now.

A gust of wind rose, and Ling Yun instantly appeared in another place.

The volcano in the distance was still roaring, with the potential to erupt at any time.

Seeing this, Ji Yulin said in a low voice, “Stop messing around. Let’s go, let’s go to the volcano.”

Hearing this, everyone stopped.

Only by solving the source could this disaster be truly stopped.

A tentacle from Li An hooked Ji Yulin’s waist, and then two tentacles stretched out and pressed against the ground. The two of them instantly rose, ten meters above the ground. As her tentacles swayed, she quickly rushed over.

The residents below screamed. Seeing this scene suddenly, they were still quite scared.

But Li An and the other couldn’t be bothered with that anymore. The crisis of the city was approaching. How could they care about anything else?

Qi Fu and Ling Yun, seeing this, quickly wanted to follow.

But the earthquake reappeared, and a sharp cry was heard.

The black smoke was even thicker, blocking out the sky. The scorching temperature, along with the volcanic ash, rushed over. The surrounding walls and houses were covered in dust, and coughs rose and fell.

But these were not the worst. The worst was that a corner of the volcano’s edge had actually been broken, and lava was gushing out like a spring, flowing this way.

Just as everyone was at a loss, another cry that shook the heavens and the earth was heard.

“It’s over, it’s over. It’s out,” a terrified shout was heard.

Li An followed the voice and happened to see the person. It was one of the people she had fought with in the living room a few nights ago. At this moment, he was slumped on the ground, his face full of despair.

“Caw caw!”

The crow not far away also cried out, trying to warn but not as strong as the other side.

Cheng Xi tried to stop it, but the crow’s cry grew louder and louder. At the same time, the cry on the other side was like a response, and it was loud.

Did the crow cause the disaster?

In their fear, people couldn’t help but have an absurd guess.

“Something’s wrong,” and Li An frowned and said in a low voice.

She couldn’t quite understand their conversation, but she could vaguely sense the emotions within.

Is Silver Feather scared?

This fear was different from others, more like a fear of cannibalism.

Just as Ji Yulin was about to ask what she meant, she saw the monster flap its wings and fly over.

Its appearance was slightly blurry. It was all black, shaped like a giant bird, with lava flowing, igniting the surrounding air. Large and small flames surrounded its wings.

As it got closer, the already not-so-low temperature grew more and more stuffy, as if a huge fireball were hanging over their heads.

The reserved cool water was evaporated, and the paper was dry and curled, and there was even a tendency to self-ignite. The ground was so hot that it almost melted the rubber soles.

Li An, who was a sea creature, couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. A tentacle pushed and retracted, and the two of them landed on the roof.

There was no need to go to the volcano anymore. The monster that should have been besieged was now flapping its wings and chasing after them.

“Run, keep running!”

“What are you all standing there for?!”

Cheng Xi’s voice broke the tense atmosphere, and the people who had been dazed suddenly sobered up and frantically ran for the city gate.

No one knew if they could escape, but the instinct to survive urged their footsteps, faster, faster.

The city gate over there was crowded with people, like a dense can of sardines, desperately squeezing into a small opening.

Cannon fire suddenly shot out from within the city walls. Looking back, it seemed to be the hidden armament of the Eighth District. The roaring guns and cannons drove back the black smoke a little.

The people in the city relaxed a little. They were still too confident in the city’s military reserves. Natural disasters were hard to stop, but they were a little confident in dealing with mutated beasts.

But just as they were about to slump to the ground, a sharp alarm sounded in their ears, and the voice of the district chief of the Eighth District came from the loudspeaker, and it echoed through the streets and alleys.

“All residents, leave the Eighth District immediately. Leave the Eighth District immediately.”

The slightly robotic voice was urgent, and it was repeated over and over again.

“A powerful mutated beast is invading. All residents, please leave the Eighth District immediately and head…”

The person’s tone paused, and she pointed in a direction with difficulty, “Run to the southwest.”

Is the Eighth District really not going to be saved?

Everyone’s feet were stuck to the ground, and their hearts were filled with a gray darkness.

And the monster had already rushed straight at Silver Feather. The lava on its body fell, like a meteor, crashing through the ceiling and igniting the house.

Screams were heard again. This time, it was even more panicked. The fleeing people were like headless flies, desperately running out.

The alarm sounded over and over again.

Silver Feather dodged to the side, and the monster chased after it.

Cheng Xi raised her hand several times, trying to attack the other with sand.

The strange bird was annoyed by the harassment and finally looked at the woman on Silver Feather’s body. A hateful, sharp cry was heard again, and it made her eardrums hurt.

She didn’t know what method Cheng Xi and the others had used before to weaken the monster’s power, but it was clear that this creature hated them very much and had actually drawn a bit of its attention from Silver Feather.

Its lava-like eyes drooped, and it swept over the city below with hatred and greed. Although it didn’t say anything, it was still clear that it was determined not to let the remaining people go.

It let out a sharp cry, and a flame shot out from its throat, straight at Silver Feather.

Silver Feather dodged to the side, but was also concerned about Cheng Xi on her back. She flapped her wings, and the pillar of fire passed under her, and her feathers were singed.

“Help,” Ji Yulin said immediately.

If that strange bird succeeded, they would also be doomed.

Li An’s tentacles stretched out, trying to help, but the strange bird was still in mid-air. There was very little she could do. She was even afraid of blocking Silver Feather’s escape route, and her tentacles swayed with great restraint.

The people with special abilities on the other side were also at a loss. There were too few people with the ability to fly, and the few who could fly were pitifully weak in attack power. They were no match for the strange bird, like mosquitoes buzzing around, with no threat at all.

Qi Fu was also powerless. She tried to lift a huge rock and throw it at the strange bird, but for some reason, the previous feeling appeared again, and she was forced to fall again.

As for the cannon fire of the Eighth District, it was really powerless. It was not as rich as the Thirteenth District, and in the long-term attrition with the volcanic beast, it had spent a lot of military and manpower. Such a large city was now even weaker than a piece of paper.

The feeling of panic grew, and some people even jumped from the high-rise buildings, without even the courage to escape.

A tentacle missed several times, and Li An, in her annoyance, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A tentacle directly grabbed Silver Feather’s leg and pulled her over like a kite.

“What are you doing?!”

Someone shouted angrily.

“Let go of Silver Feather!”

Even Qi Fu and Ling Yun showed a look of confusion.

Seeing this, the strange bird quickly rushed at the crow.

But a tentacle from the octopus pulled, and it missed.

At first, Silver Feather was still struggling, but now she finally understood what Li An was doing and immediately protected Cheng Xi on her body.

But Li An found Cheng Xi to be a hindrance and directly pulled her down.

“I want to be with Silver Feather…”

Before she could finish, Li An, in the same way as before, hooked Ji Yulin with one tentacle, and with two tentacles, she jumped and ran between the houses.

Silver Feather, in mid-air, cawed twice and was actually dizzy from the shaking.

Now it really was like flying a kite.

The strange bird immediately chased after Silver Feather.

The others also reacted and quickly used various methods to intercept the strange bird.

And Li An just kept running to a remote place outside the city.

As her tentacles swayed, she made the strange bird circle in the air.

Cheng Xi, below, was watching, and she was both heartbroken and helpless. She could only keep chasing after Li An and the others.

Unfortunately, the strange bird was not too stupid. After chasing for a while, it sensed that something was wrong, and a sharp look appeared in its long, narrow bird eyes.

For some reason, the earthquake appeared again. A ten-meter-wide crack appeared in the ground, and the houses collapsed and fell. And the lava was flowing even faster.

Cheng Xi suddenly shouted, “It has to go back to the volcano.”

The further away it is, the more obvious the volcano’s tremor?

Li An frowned, and with a turn of her tentacles, she could only give up the open ground she had been eyeing before and run toward the volcano.

And it was true.

The closer the strange bird was to the volcano, the smaller the volcano’s fluctuation.

But the closer she got to the volcano, the more unbearable the surrounding environment became. It was like being in a sauna. Even Li An, whose body temperature was cool, was sweating, and it was dripping down. Not to mention the smell of sulfur, which had almost solidified.

Seeing that the strange bird was getting closer and closer, the crow between her tentacles was shaking so much that it couldn’t even caw.

Li An looked behind her, and a struggle flashed in her eyes. The tentacle that was wrapped around Ji Yulin’s waist quietly loosened a little.

But the person had already seen what Li An was thinking. She directly grabbed Li An’s collar and said in a cold voice, “You dare to throw me away again?”

Li An lowered her head, torn. She saw that pair of dark, stone-like eyes. Although she was saying harsh words, the area around her eyes was red, and she was nervous and fragile. The fingers that were pulling at her collar were white.

“Don’t leave me again, Li An.”

A pleading voice swirled in her ear, and Li An took a deep breath.
