Chapter 590: Crisis at Winter Fort

Qin Feng looked at Bai Li after he had set the hovercraft on an automatic course.

“Have some sleep. How’s your hand?”

Though he was busy talking to Hu San in the hover copter, Qin Feng did help Bai Li to dress her wound simultaneously.

“I will be fine.” Bai Li waved her hands that were buried within a thick bandage.

Qin Feng said, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

Bai Li pouted and said, “Of course it hurts.”

The little fox never lied.

It pained Qin Feng to see Bai Li getting hurt. “Just wait for me to get stronger. I swear I will have Z begging for his life.” Qi Feng promised.

Bai Li resonated, “I will scratch him mercilessly with my claws when that time comes.”

Both of them looked at each other and broke into laughter. A joke was always an antidote to a heavy heart.

They then lay on their respective chairs and tried to get some rest. However, Qin Feng was unable to fall asleep.

‘This matter has haunted me the most after I was reborn. I finally got a conclusion today. I can now concentrate on training, and defeating Z would just be a matter of time. So, what is my next move?’

Numerous memories from his previous life gushed back into Qin Feng’s mind. He had a hard time picking his next destination.

Before he could make up his mind, the alarm inside his hovercraft sounded.

Warning! Warning! C-tier beast king detected at about 20km from here. Please avoid contact. Please avoid contact.

Qin Feng woke from his light sleep. He reached for the alarm and switched it off. The sonar of the hovercraft had detected the whereabouts of the mutated beast.

Winter Fort, where Qin Feng was heading, was at around that distance too.

***

At the same time, the alarm had sounded all across Winter Fort. The hapless D-tier aptitude user inside the mayor’s office was deeply shaken.

“Send over combat hover copters to stall the C-tier beast-king. Drive it away from the fort. Do it with your dying will!”

“Yes, Mayor!”

“I will report to the Human Alliance and ask for reinforcement if the beast gets nearer than 10km. Turn on the force field when it is only 5 km away!”

“Roger!”

“Hope it can be stopped!”

The mayor did not unveil his quiet wish, which was hoping that elects from the Human Alliance would reach sooner.

He could call for help but only God knew when the Human Alliance would send over a B-tier aptitude user.

There were a few tens of cities and colonies across the entire Northern region. Each town had its spatial waymark set up in Bei Hua city. Anytime when there was an emergency, B-tiers could use the prepared waymark and come to the rescue. This was one of the many reasons why there were so many B-tiers being stationed at Bei Hua.

However, no B-tier might be available at the time of emergencies, or the B-tiers would have arrived a few minutes too late.

A few minutes was more than enough for a beast king to trample over a loosely defended city.

The hover copters had been dispatched from the fort.

Being a city of a backward state, Winter Fort was even weaker than Chengyang City. The ten hover copters that they owned belonged to the previous generation.

The pilots were the best man they could afford—five E-tier gunslingers and 5 F-tiers. It was hard to fathom how they were going to stall the beast. They would be terrified by its aura long before reaching the beast.

But they did not have a choice.

Suddenly, the surveillance drone picked up a motion on the ground. It was a hovercraft.

Oddly, the hovercraft headed straight at the beast king with no intention of slowing down.

“What’s the matter? Is the craft’s alarm system malfunctioning? The driver has probably not been warned!”

“Send a warning over. Sound the systemic alarm!”

“I have already done that. But he didn’t slow down!”

“What’s wrong with the driver? Seeking suicide?”

They were troubled by the hovercraft’s movement. The beast king still had not discovered Winter Fort. If they were so lucky that the beast were to turn directions midway, Winter Fort would escape this crisis unscathed.

However, if someone panicked during his or her escape and steered toward Winter Fort, then it might draw the beast king’s attention to the fort. This was not in everyone’s best interest.

Nonetheless, they were once again baffled by the development.

The hovercraft was getting closer and closer. The car did not slow down and they could see the front seat window had been lowered. A man wearing a helmet was seen as he extended his arm out.

It was none other than Qin Feng. His head was still hurting and he was in no condition to battle. He planned to get some rest in Winter Fort but he happened to find out that a beast king was also heading the same way.

Qin Feng peeked at the hovercraft surveillance camera and figured that there were only about two hundred minions following the beast king. These minions were not all from the same species as well.

‘I guess they are here because of the avalanche earlier. Sigh. I am partly responsible for this so I guess I should deal with it.’

With that in mind, Qin Feng closed in and was only about five hundred meters from the flock.

Qin Feng could now get a clear look at the beast king. It was a giant swine.

The C-tier beast king swine stood at twenty-meter-high. More terrifyingly, its bucktooth alone was estimated to be at least ten meters long, which seemed to be made from frozen ice. Its long body was covered by thick white fur. Qin Feng would not have recognized the creature if not for its signature nose and protruding fang.

“A beast king evolved from Snowfur Swine!” This beast habituated a lot of areas in Xue Yuan. They are mostly classified as E-tier past maturation. It was common for some of them to grow into C-tier since nutritious herbs were everywhere up in the snow mountain.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The trees fell wherever the swine trampled over. It was not on the highway yet but would soon reach the sentry tower and the greenhouse plantation of Xue Yuan state. It was only a matter of time before it would reach Winter Fort.

Nonetheless, this was as far as the beast could get.

Qin Feng raised his hand and a white glow appeared on his palm. In the blink of an eye, the glowing spot inflated into a glowing ball containing vast energy.

Blitz!

A white radiance suddenly erupted.

It was the Sacred Armor!

There was 3/10 power left in the Sacred Armor. It might not be enough to kill Z but would have no problem terminating a C-tier beast king.

The white laser instantly penetrated the swine’s body and opened up a big hole through its tough skin.

The ravaging beast came to an abrupt stop. A while later, its giant body trembled and fell to the ground.

Boom!

The ground shook, flustering the minion flock to flee for their lives.

C-tier beast king, killed!
