Light Fortress-Chapter 1404 - 78: Great Winged Sparrow King

Outside the South Cave, the mission to hunt the Beast Tide is nearing its end.

Just as everyone was preparing to call off the formation——

"Boom!"

A dull roar exploded at the Skytop.

Shen Li raised his head, frowning at the dense canopy overhead. His spiritual power perception wasn’t strong; his looking up was just for show... In his view, all he could see was the sky blocked by branches and leaves, no abnormalities visible.

On the other side, Mr. Zhuang Su also looked up at the Heavenly Curtain with a serious expression.

"Mr. Zhuang, what’s happening?"

"Not clear... A large amount of volcanic ash blocks, preventing my spiritual power from extending."

Zhuang Su frowned and murmured, "I vaguely see a group of black shadows shuttling above the Skytop."

"Black shadows shuttling across the Skytop?"

Adam became interested and said, "Take a closer look, is it the Transcendent mutated ’Big Winged Sparrow’?"

Mr. Zhuang crouched slightly, then leaped high, stepping on a giant ancient tree, running vertically to the ground, finally standing steadily like a long needle on the tip of the ancient tree.

"It’s the ’Big Winged Sparrow’."

Zhuang Su’s voice was heavy, "There are nearly a hundred of them... the numbers are still increasing, these Big Winged Sparrows are continuously surging from the deep forest, have they gone mad?"

Just as his words came out,

the distant ground began to tremble.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Yuan Shuo City’s roar echoed throughout the deep forest, with a lot of vanguard teams from the Storm Church retreating, colossal trees of the primeval forest fell in batches, smoke and dust flew everywhere, earth and stones overturned.

Giant elephants, lions, leopards, innumerable Extraordinary Beast Spirits trampled from afar!

"Beast Tide... it’s the Beast Tide!"

Little Iron Man was the first to react, jolting and instantly pulling Adam to retreat with incredible speed.

Gu Shen instructed.

No matter what happens, ensure Adam’s safety.

At the mention of Beast Tide, Adam’s expression changed dramatically, his face turned extremely pale, allowing his tall body to be dragged along the ground by Shen Li without any resistance... Little Iron Man directly invoked the [Iron Eater] Domain Embryo, a vague towering deity-like silhouette attached to him.

Under the [Iron Eater]’s reinforcement, he became immensely powerful, easily pulling the 1.9-meter Adam up, taking two steps in one, directly leaping onto a giant tree. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Rumble..."

The Beast Tide passed over, a scene of chaos.

Many members of the Storm Church couldn’t escape in time, directly trampled and crushed to death... Sadly, this scene wasn’t considered bloody, as the rolling smoke engulfed flesh and blood, the trampling of these Beast Spirits lasted for dozens of minutes, involving low-level Transcendents, who wouldn’t even have bone fragments left, crushed entirely into powder.

"This is terrifying..."

Adam sat on the main trunk of the giant tree, hands gripping the thick branch, face drained of color.

This weak scholar, used to studying words, witnessed the Beast Tide up close for the first time.

The terror, which cannot be understood without facing it head-on.

Shen Li glanced at him, mocking nonchalantly, "Scared now? You should have held on to me just now!"

Seeing Adam’s current sweaty, frightened state, he likely understood the terror of the Beast Tide by now.

"Next time, definitely... next time, definitely..."

Adam extended his hand to wipe his forehead, showing cowardice in body, but not in words.

A scholar dedicated to research and investigations, he quickly recovered from the shock of the Beast Tide within seconds, rapidly realizing the information behind the incident——

"Beep beep beep."

Adam dialed the reserved communication device number for District S12.

The person on the other end, no one else but Qi Mo!

...

...

Inside the Chi Lang Mansion in District S12.

Qi Mo was fully focused on the screen in front of him, a serene expression on the infant in the life pod in the distance, covered with dozens of electromagnetic patches, linked with spiritual conduits several meters long, and countless microwave pulse lines...

All data of this infant was displayed on the main computer.

This was a Divine Infant without "consciousness."

Heaven granted this child nearly perfect everything, a perfect body, a face unchanged by years.

Yet fate is fair.

The more perfect something is in this world, the more apparent its flaws——

This child, without a Transcendent bloodline, cannot cultivate.

Forget cultivation, the child can’t even grow, nor communicate with anyone.

Has everything, except a mind!

"Heartbeat normal, blood pressure normal..."

"Vital signs stable, consistently stable..."

Several elites of the Neutral were assisting in the analysis.

This was an experiment on the Divine Infant!

Before this experiment began, Gu Shen gave Qi Mo ample calculation permissions, and the instrument in use now was utilizing Unit Zero Zero One’s computing power.

Chu Ling was overseeing all this!

However, the power of [Source Code] was limited to use in closed spaces like Sangzhou Cave. No matter the final outcome, these experiment data will not be uploaded to the [Deep Water Area].

Only this way can the experiment be conducted with peace of mind.

As a member of the Embers from the Ancient Literature Society, Qi Mo breathed a sigh of relief upon knowing that this experiment data was completely contained.

Without uploads, he dared to proceed boldly!

Now they needed to utilize this computing power to unearth the secret of the "Divine Infant"!

"Beep..."

"Beep!"

As the screen kept operating, numerous data emerged and flowed, some codes on the screen were showing chaotic fluctuations.
