While Lin Qiao was confronting Si Kongchen in the Northwest, the surface of Lake Tai, which was located in East China, was once again disturbed. A herd of mutated beasts at buffalo size, with horns on their heads and looking like both lizards and crocodiles, emerged from the water one after another, swimming toward the lakeside.
More and more mutated beasts came out of the water and covered the entire lake. The lake was over two-thousand miles squared in area. Its edge connected the borders of quite a few cities. No one could see the piles of bones belonging to mutated fishes on the lake bottom. Not even one living fish could be sensed from the lake.
Those lizard-like beasts came ashore and a great number of them swam into the surrounding rivers which were branches of the lake. The fishes in all the water channels that they visited were hunted and eaten, and so were the animals ten meters on both sides of the water. Any living creature that dared to approach the water would be bitten to death without being able to utter any sound.
Those enormous, lizard-like creatures had soft and flexible limbs and bodies. They had no vibes at all, so the other creatures couldn't feel the threat coming from them.
They had four rows of sharp teeth in their mouths, two up and two down. Those teeth glowed with a cold light, clearly indicating how strong they were. Any creature that fell between those teeth would never have a chance to get out.
As those mutated beasts came out of the water, some extremely ugly bugs that had cracked shells and small fires burning on their bodies started to crawl out of the vents of the volcanoes that were located in the Northeast and North China.
Those bugs were huge in sizes. Among them, bowl-sized scorpions and giant spiders with two-meters long legs could be seen, as well as enormous ants. Those gigantic bugs all had fire power, which could be told from the fire that burst out of their cracked shells from time to time and never died.
All the scorpions were black, and their hard shells were covered in red cracks. The spiders were colorful; red, purple, blue, black, gray, the spiders with all kind of colors could be found. They crawled out of the volcano vents in a thick herd, then scattered toward all directions.
The ants were translucent and glowing red. The larger ones were over two meters long and the smaller ones were no less than a meter long. They had huge bellies and glowing-red hair on their legs.
The three different types of giant bugs weren't the same as the normal bugs. A normal scorpion had only one pair of pincers while the ones that came from the volcanoes each had three! They wielded their six huge pincers and rushed forward.
The spider from the earth's surface each had eight legs while the ones from the volcanoes each had only six. The pair of front limbs of theirs had evolved into pincers, like the pincers of scorpions. Those spiders with pincers propped their bodies with six two-meter long legs and ran as fast as the wind.
The ants were moving in groups of two, moving side by side. They had exactly the same large bellies, which were glowing with a red light. Added with their glowing leg hairs, each group of ants looked like a pair of angry eyes in the darkness.
Apart from the Lake Tai area, the Northeast, and East China, weird creatures had been showing up in the other areas as well. The types and numbers of the creatures in each area weren't the same. The only thing the same was that all those creatures were coming from underground.
Ridiculously long earthworms, hairless, four-eyed wolf-like creatures, and all sorts of, weird-looking animals...
At that moment, Strong, who was in a good sleep in the underground cave near All Beings Base, suddenly raised his head and twitched his nose, then got up and crawled out of his nest. He stood at the entrance of his nest and sniffed around, then generated a great roar.
After giving that roar, Strong turned and ran toward the outside. He was roaring all the way, and his sound echoed through the underground tunnels.
"Roarrrr!"
"Roarrrr!"
Hearing his sound, all the other underground gorillas started running outside as well. They kept running upward toward the surface. It was the daytime, but they showed no sign of stopping.
"Roar..." A wave of slight earthquake and beast roars could be heard from the underground.
Before long, Yun Meng, who was responsible for keeping an eye on those underground gorillas, turned to the entrance that Lin Qiao pointed earlier and carefully listened to the sounds from underground.
"Eh? Are they coming out?" She sensed the vibes coming from the entrance, then raised her head to look at the sky, "Is it because today is a cloudy day?"
It was a cloudy day, and thick layers of cloud had blocked the sunlight.
With that thought, Yun Meng quickly got up and headed toward the entrance. She arrived to sense a familiar earthy smell.
"They're really coming out!" Yun Meng immediately covered her nose and furrowed her brows.
After all, those creatures coming out meant trouble.
At that time, those underground gorillas had rushed to the entrance. Because of their leader's order, they were only allowed to use one of the entrances of the underground cave. They didn't know why, and they didn't want to know. All they knew was that they needed to follow their leader's orders.
By the entrance, looking at the light pouring down from the sky, they were instantly frightened. They crowded near the entrance and none of them had the guts to make a single step forward.
"Roar!" There was no sunlight on the outside, but still the light out there threatened them.
Strong was jammed in the middle of a tunnel without being able to move upward or downward. With anger, he gave a series of roar to urge his subordinates.
"Roarrrr!"
Hearing his roar, the underground gorillas near the entrance had no other choice but to shake their bodies and dart out of the cave. While letting out shrill screams, they instinctively looked for covers such as woods and buildings.
The light of the day couldn't harm them as severely as the sunlight could, but it was still enough to make them scream. Clearly, it was still harmful.
Yun Meng was standing on top of a building nearby, watching those underground gorillas risk their lives to come out of the cave in the middle of the day, wondering what was going on.
"Roar..." As those underground gorillas ran out of the cave, waves of beast roars could be heard from the area. A large number of underground gorillas swiftly hopped toward the places which they considered safe, such as woods or buildings or anywhere that had no light. A while later, Yun Meng saw the big one come out. He wasn't screaming as loudly as the lower-leveled ones were.
"Errr..." He stood near the entrance and raised his head to sniff around, then let out a muffled howl. After that, he lowered his head to look at his body, and then slowly walked toward the woods nearby.
After spending a while observing them, Yun Meng discovered that only the lower-leveled ones were screaming like hell as if something was killing them. The big one and the ones at level five, six or seven were staying relatively calm.
