I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 76: Restlessness in the Night

No matter what happens tomorrow, things that need to be done today must still be done.

At night, after Qin Siyu went back to her room to sleep, Jiang Hou and the excited kitty disappeared from the room.

Meanwhile, in a county town more than twenty kilometers away from Yidu, a group of people was also having a meeting.

In the basement, a middle-aged man named Giant Shock, wearing a lab coat, sat at the main seat, with more than ten young men and women standing or sitting on both sides.

Giant Shock said in a deep voice, "We’ve been here a few days, but so far haven’t found any clues about the experiment subject. Does anyone have any ideas?"

A young man squatting in the corner looked up, his expression twisted, "Kill people, create chaos, and directly tell the experiment subject that if they don’t come out, we’ll keep killing."

Immediately, the others looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Damn, this is Celestial Punishment’s territory. They’ve been lurking nearby the county town for days, only daring to cautiously infiltrate Yidu during the day to gather intelligence.

If they dared to kill and create chaos, they’d be discovered, locked onto, and crushed by a Celestial Punishment powerhouse immediately.

Ignoring that mentally unstable guy, Giant Shock looked towards the effeminate young man on his left, "Giant Battle, what do you think?"

"Me?"

The effeminate young man pondered, "My suggestion is also to create chaos, only by muddying the waters can we fish in trouble, but we can’t do it ourselves."

"In the past couple of days, Yidu has been under martial law to respond to a large-scale spatial impact, I think it’s an opportunity."

"At that time, tell those ordinary people in the group who want to become Transcendent that the day after tomorrow is their chance to evolve." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"The massive burst of energy from the Ruins fragments will automatically be absorbed by anyone near, offering a ten percent chance of becoming an Evolver."

"Ten percent, not one percent?" A woman across was stunned.

The young man smiled softly, "For those lunatics, whether it’s one percent or ten percent doesn’t matter; even if there’s a one-in-ten chance of survival, they’ll dare to try."

Before Transcendents were revealed, the Giant Demon Association, as an illegal organization, was secretly using ’Transcendence’ as bait, recruiting and amassing money in a pyramid scheme-like manner online.

Among those who fell for it were wealthy people, many from the middle class, and socially problematic youths.

Meanwhile, they collaborated with some underground small organizations in neighboring countries, establishing various groups divided by region, including a few small groups in and around Yidu.

Lately, with the exposure of Transcendents, the number of people in the online groups they set up has surged, with many wishing to become Transcendent joining daily.

If these people know there’s a chance to touch evolution in Yidu the day after tomorrow, they’ll surely flock from all directions.

The more chaotic Yidu is, the less easily they’ll be noticed, allowing them to infiltrate the city and search meticulously for the "perfect experiment subject" mentioned by the Demon Dragon Divine Hall.

Unfortunately, the items provided by the other side can only passively sense a fifty-meter range, with a radius of twenty-five meters, and even if the experiment subject actively activates the Power of Antiquities within, they still need to be within a kilometer to sense it.

This is why they’ve had no results the past few days, unable to approach the unknown location of the experiment subject without daring to go deep into the city.

After the young man finished speaking, Giant Shock nodded with satisfaction, "Giant Battle, this proposal is good. Sherly, I’ll leave this matter to you." Then he looked at the others.

"In a few days, Yidu will be in chaos; the day after tomorrow, you will first infiltrate, each person dividing an area."

"When the impact breaks out, and the authorities’ attention is drawn to the chaos in the old city, sweep the streets with Seal Stones, avoiding law enforcement."

"Whoever finds the experiment subject first gets to take a tenth of the reward."

Immediately, everyone’s eyes reddened, breathing became rapid.

The reward that could push Giant Shock to break through to Tier Six, splitting a tenth among them, was enough to make the strength of Tier Two and Tier Three, and even Tier Four people like Giant Battle skyrocket.

At this time, not only the Giant Demon Association, but also some Transcendent lurking in Yidu and surrounding cities were stirred up.

Of course, they didn’t want to nor dare to disturb Yidu; their target was those Ruins objects that might fall from the cracks.

The cracks appearing between the Ruins and the real world sometimes connect to ancient, broken relics, hence relic objects often fall through the cracks.

These objects might be Energy Crystals, Ancient Inheritance Items, Divine Weapon Fragments, or roaming fierce beasts and monsters within the relics.

The rule over decades is that whoever picks up such relic objects first gets to keep them.

If useful, they keep for themselves, if not, they can trade on the underground black market or sell them at a discounted price to Celestial Punishment for resources beneficial to them in exchange.

In the dark, murmurings could be heard among the eerie creatures.

Ruins

At the edge of the scorching Magma Lake, a White Fox Beast lay on the shore, its paws pressing down on a more than sixteen-meter-long Early-tier Four Fire Fish and tearing at it.

Even in death, the Fire Fish’s flesh remained incredibly resilient; Feitong used all its strength, bit by bit, to eat.

Compared to the White Fox Beast, the much larger Black Armored Giant Ape sat on the ground, holding a twenty-meter-long Fire Fish and biting it, tearing off a large chunk of flesh each time.

Blood mixed with flesh remnants flowed from the Giant Ape’s mouth, the scarlet blood splattered and dyed its cheeks and upper body red, dripping along its black fur.

Behind the Black Armored Giant Ape, a pile of crystalline red Fire Fish bones had formed a small hill.

At this point, they’d been inside for more than half a day, during which the White Fox Beast, traveling back and forth every hour or so, had captured seven Early-tier Four Lava Fire Fish.

More than half an hour later, the Black Armored Giant Ape finished eating the last of the beast’s flesh, its body slowly growing to 24.8 meters.

The recent days’ diet of Tier Three and Tier Four beasts, along with the increased energy demand upon reaching Tier Five, had slowed the Black Armored Giant Ape’s growth considerably.

While its size only increased by about twenty centimeters, today’s biggest gain was acquiring 6 more units of Molten Flame Element, bringing the total to 43.

At this growth rate, with a bit more effort from the White Fox Beast tomorrow, it might be enough to meet the requirement of 50 units.

Moreover, these Tier Four beasts allowed Jiang Hou to condense seven more Hell Demon Patterns, increasing his internal Demon Essence to 1680.

As for the base attributes of his human form, strength, agility, and even the soul had improved significantly; the physical body was just shy of reaching Tier Three Peak.

Roar! The near-twenty-five-meter-tall Giant Ape stood up, causing a gust of air, turning to the White Fox Beast with a low growl, "Roar! Feitong, don’t waste time, we need to go back."

Screech!

The fox beast, recognizing the urging in the Black Armored Giant Ape’s tone, nodded, squatted on the ground, opened its mouth, and spewed a large mist of blood-like red demon energy covering the Fire Fish.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Under the bloody demon energy, the flesh of the Tier Four ferocious beast slowly began to dissolve and shrivel, emitting a stench as its essence was refined bit by bit.

The pile of bones left behind by the Black Armored Giant Ape was also covered, and the marrow within was not wasted.

Whether due to increased strength or not, more bones were refined today, yet the White Fox Beast took only just over half an hour.

Once all the essence was refined, the blood mist, now highly concentrated, was continually absorbed by the fox beast.

Boom!

The bones of six Tier Four ferocious beasts, along with the complete flesh essence of one Tier Four beast, caused the aura of the White Fox Beast to surge once more, breaking into Mid-tier Three.

Its size grew from over eleven meters to thirteen meters, its white fur faintly gleaming, and its two more than seven-meter-long tails danced behind, looking increasingly ’beautiful.’

Roar! The rapid rise in power left the White Fox Beast delighted, circling the Black Armored Giant Ape continually.

In the past, encountering an Early-tier Three ferocious beast required caution to kill without injury, after which its power would only slightly increase.

But ever since following the Black Armored Giant Ape, in just two days, its strength had soared a great deal; the sensation was exhilarating.

"Roar! It’s almost dawn, let’s go." With a low growl, the Black Armored Giant Ape and White Fox Beast shrunk rapidly and disappeared.

Soon after one person and one beast left, the enormous Magma Lake began to boil.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lake surface exploded, with Lava Fire Fish leaping frantically, frightened flames in their eyes as they swam towards the same direction, ultimately disappearing beneath the surface.
