Outside the crematorium, Mark crouched down and wept bitterly as he looked at the bodies of Xuefeng, Gavin, Jeff, and others.
Among these elderly hunters, only Kunjie and Gaoge had decent talent and were training in Dragonbone Village on the ground at the time of the incident.
Jingyuan's face was gloomy. Unlike Mark, he didn't express his emotions; his expression was terrifyingly somber.
Of his three roommates, only Chu Feng remains!
The hunter team consisted of over a hundred people, and at the time of the incident, nearly fifty were in Dragonbone Village.
The remaining approximately seventy people were at the lighthouse.
To eliminate Mark's influence, Charles used the Abyss Walkers to slaughter all the Wasteland Hunters. Only a dozen or so survived the crisis!
On Charles's side, the group of upper-class citizens who instigated and rescued Charles numbered about thirty, plus Charles's old followers and the city garrison troops who temporarily defected to Sengge, totaling more than one hundred people.
After killing Charles, Jingyuan killed most of the others, but some cowards, seeing the situation was not good, hid away early.
After dealing with Kloto, Jingyuan ordered people to investigate thoroughly, leaving no one unpunished!
Chu Feng took a list from behind and handed it to Jing Yuan, saying, "These are the people we've found to be involved in the rebellion so far!"
Jingyuan took the list, but before he could even look at it, he heard an alarm sounding from the lighthouse.
The piercing sound echoed throughout the lighthouse.
Jingyuan had never heard an alarm sound from a lighthouse before. He walked over to Mark and asked, "What kind of alarm is that?"
Mark looked bewildered as well, indicating that he didn't know either.
At that moment, Jingnan said on the communication frequency: "This is an alarm for the attack of the Devouring Beasts!"
Jing Yuan looked puzzled and asked, "We've already taken off, where did this Devouring Beast come from?"
Jingnan explained: "In the early years, the lighthouse developed an alarm system based on the energy reaction of the Devouring Beast. When the energy reaction of the Devouring Beast reaches a certain level and it gets close to the lighthouse, an alarm will sound."
"To my recollection, I don't think I've ever heard of such an alarm before!"
"Because the Lighthouse hasn't encountered this type of Devouring Beast for many years!"
"What Devouring Beast?"
"A King-level Devouring Beast!"
As soon as Jingnan finished speaking, everyone on the communication frequency was startled.
Indeed, the Lighthouse hasn't encountered a King-level Devouring Beast in many years!
Jingyuan quickly ran to the edge of the platform, and Mark and the others followed.
They looked down.
By this time, the lighthouse had broken through the clouds and reached a very high position.
Jing Yuan said, "It's so high, even a monarch-level being probably couldn't climb up here!"
"It's not down there!" Jingnan stared at the radar screen, her face also filled with disbelief. "It's in the air!"
Jingyuan looked into the distance.
The clouds below surged and a pair of enormous wings emerged from them, constantly stirring the clouds.
With the flapping of enormous wings, a massive figure burst forth from the clouds.
It has a pair of huge tympanic wings, a short neck, a stout body, and four limbs and a tail.
It looks a lot like a dragon from mythology.
Everyone standing at the edge of the platform saw this scene.
Some people refused to believe it, and even rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things.
It turned out I wasn't seeing things!
"What kind of monster is that?"
"It's a Devouring Beast!"
"Nonsense, there's no such thing as a flying Devouring Beast!"
Mark acted decisively, immediately issuing orders via communication frequency: "All departments, enter combat readiness!"
In an instant, all the hunters began to move.
Mark looked at Mexico City beside him and asked, "How many missiles do we have left?"
"Not many left, just a few! And there's no guarantee they'll be intact."
Most of the weapons used on the lighthouse were collected from the ground.
Some are from a long time ago and may be duds.
When we used missiles to shoot at the Dimejaw Beast, there were two duds.
"Never mind, let's use it!"
"Yes!"
The hunters immediately moved all sorts of weapons to the edge of the platform.
As the flying Devouring Beasts drew closer to the lighthouse, the hunters raised their rifles and sniper rifles and fired at them, but the bullets had no effect on the beasts.
Jingyuan waved his hand and said to them, "Stop firing! The caliber of the bullets can't hurt it at all! Don't waste bullets."
Just then, four missiles flew toward the Devouring Beast, each hitting its body and causing a violent explosion.
The Devouring Beast's body was scorched by high-temperature energy, and its skin and muscles rotted away one after another.
However, after the Devouring Beast broke through the aftershocks of the explosion, its surface muscles and skin were quickly repaired.
The Devouring Beast charged straight at the lighthouse and crashed into its shell.
boom!
The entire lighthouse was shaken by the impact.
Wow!
The solar panels on the outer casing started falling off.
Although the Devouring Beast was enormous, compared to the entire lighthouse, it only destroyed a corner of it.
Everyone who was unaware of the situation rushed outside.
After feeling the tremors, the people of Dragonbone Village also ran to the edge of the platform.
Jing Yuan looked at Bai Yuekui, pointed at the Devouring Beast, and asked, "Is that Devouring Beast a King-level beast?"
Chapter 197 Central Electromagnetic Gun
Bai Yuekui looked at the Devouring Beast flying in the air. Without engaging in combat, she couldn't determine the level of the Devouring Beast in front of her.
Bai Yuekui pondered for a moment and said, "This is a Devouring Beast that has completed its transformation. Even if it is not at the King level, it is close to the King level!"
"How to fight this?"
Jingyuan's question stumped Bai Yuekui.
Not to mention that Bai Yuekui has never encountered a flying monarch-level Devouring Beast, even if she had, she would need to wear the Abyss Warrior Armor to defeat it!
Bai Yuekui couldn't answer for a moment.
The flying Devouring Beast turned back again.
The area surrounding the lighthouse is a hanging area for the local people.
These "pigeon cages" suspended above the lighthouses housed a large number of dusty people.
The Devouring Beast flew over, but this time it didn't crash into the outer shell; instead, it flew towards the suspended area.
However, the suspended area was full of hanging iron chains. When the Devouring Beast flew in, its wings were blocked by the iron chains and could not be stretched out.
The Devouring Beast landed on one of the suspended buildings, causing the entire building to shake.
Before the Devouring Beast could even stand firmly, the iron chains of the suspended building could not withstand the gravity and broke.
The Devouring Beast flapped its wings and took flight, while the suspended building fell down.
"emission!"
Mark directed the missiles to continue firing, preventing the Devouring Beasts from getting closer.
When Jingyuan saw the suspended building fall, he almost instinctively used his telekinetic power to control the entire building.
That suspended building was about seven or eight stories high, and at least several dozen Dust People lived inside.
Jingyuan didn't know if he could handle the building.
He used nine strands of mental energy simultaneously on the suspended building.
People who were suspended in the air due to weightlessness in the hanging building were instantly brought back to the ground.
Jingyuan actually used his telekinetic power to lift up a building.
Mark was directing the Hunters to use missiles to intercept the Devouring Beasts, but they quickly ran out of missiles.
Jingyuan pulled the suspended building onto the outer ring platform, allowing everyone inside to descend onto the platform.
