Chapter 213: Name (I)

In a large shopping center in the city center of Creek Mountain City, under the command of a middle-aged man, hundreds of workers cleared out the various miscellaneous items left behind, trying their best to empty out the space.

This middle-aged man was a manager from the Chen corporation assigned to Creek Mountain City. Chen Yiming had made the necessary arrangements before leading the team out.

The reason why they hadn’t rented a factory in the suburbs to temporarily store their loot was firstly because the Chen corporation didn’t lack this bit of money, and secondly because Chen Yiming hadn’t left behind much manpower for defense.

The city center was the territory of the major factions in the city, not some unknown small fries. It was also close to the government’s office area. If anything happened, it would also be easier to investigate later.

At this moment, even though the city was under threat from the mutant beasts, it did not stop people from being curious. Many people even came out of their houses and stood on the streets nearby to watch.

Among the onlookers were the owners of the shops in the shopping center.

Initially, they had firmly refused the contract that was offered which provided compensation for their rent. However, on the orders from the higher-ups, they could only obediently take their respective compensation and sign their names on the contract.

The number of onlookers increased, gradually blocking off the entire street.

“Disperse!”

“Can’t you hear us!”

“Don’t block the way!”

Suddenly, a few teams of soldiers appeared and fired warning shots.

The onlookers who had blocked the street were all chased away to the sidewalk on both sides.

This made all of them even more curious. They had heard that the situation outside the city was dire. Now the shopping center had suddenly been vacated, and soldiers had appeared to chase away the crowd and clear a path in the streets.

This kind of treatment was not something that ordinary people could enjoy. At the very least, there had not been such an example in Creek Mountain City for several years.

Not long after the soldiers cleared the way, a ball of black fog floating in midair appeared at the end of the street. In the next moment, it had already moved to the front of the shopping center.

The black fog dissipated, revealing the members of the support team led by Chen Yiming.

All the members had returned with a full load. There were dozens of skins from the steel-backed boars, meat from a steel-backed boar at the warrior realm, and meat from a two-tailed cat at the second stage of the warrior realm.

If not for the fact that all the members of the team were elites from the hunting team, it would have been difficult for them to bring these spoils of war with them.

“This…”

“What are these?”

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone had an incredulous expression on their face.

Although they did not know what these people had brought with them, the remnant aura they gave off placed a terrifying pressure on them.

In addition, these people had appeared by moving about in the black fog.

All of these reminded everyone that a big shot with an extraordinary status had arrived in Creek Mountain City.

When the soldiers saw that the crowd had started to get restless, they took out long ropes and tools to completely seal off the street in the shopping center.

Unless they were at the peak of the warrior realm, Chen Yiming didn’t care much about them. However, the elites of the Chen corporation’s hunting team and the disciples of the Mantis Snake Sword School heaved a sigh of relief.

The goodwill from the military in Creek Mountain City undoubtedly reduced the pressure on the people who stayed behind in the shopping center.

Even the elites of the Chen corporation’s hunting team and the core disciples of the martial arts school were still far inferior to the spoils from the second stage of the warrior realm.

It was equivalent to an ordinary person guarding a mountain of gold. They relied on the deterrence created by Chen Yiming’s achievements on the battlefield.

Soon, the lobby of the shopping center was filled with the loot.

The pieces of steel skin and large bones gradually took over the concrete floor.

The spoils from the two-tailed cat took up the most space. Its body was more than 20 meters long, and even though it was cut into small pieces, it was still a shocking amount.

The support team led by Chen Yiming left three elite members of the hunting team to guard the area.

Then, they turned back into a ball of black fog and soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.

“Who are these people?”

“What’s the purpose of them coming to Creek Mountain City?”

It didn’t take long for the news of what had happened in the shopping center to spread throughout Creek Mountain City.

The news that Chen Yiming had killed the two-tailed cat outside the city was quickly publicized by Creek Mountain City.

With the support of a powerful external faction, the lifeless atmosphere in the city immediately saw a turn for the better.

Night fell.

There were a total of three human cities in the sea of flowers. They were Creek Mountain City, Huiling City, and Jiahe City.

The night environment was usually the home ground for mutant beasts, but at this moment, they were being chased.

Chen Yiming’s team swept their way from Huiling City to Jiahe City under the concealment of the black fog.

Their prey were mainly mutant beasts that had mastered the transformation of their internal force.

They did not deliberately search for mutant beasts at the ordinary warrior realm unless they happened to encounter them.

As for the mutant beasts at the disciple realm, in order to increase their efficiency, other than the especially precious materials, the rest were abandoned in the wilderness.

For a moment, in the area between Huiling City and Jiahe City, the tremors caused by the stampede of thousands of mutant beasts made it impossible for the two cities to sleep.

“Is the beast tide going to attack the city at night?”

Countless people hiding at home thought of this possibility and could not fall asleep at all.

The abnormal movements of the mutant beasts naturally did not only affect ordinary people. The martial arts factions in the city also could not sleep at night. The core members gathered together to discuss a solution.

Normally, humans could indeed gain a certain advantage by relying on the steel barrier of the city wall. However, if the city wall was broken through by the beast tide, it would become a cage and prevent people from escaping in time.

Jiangnan province lacked the strength of someone at the peak of the warrior realm. When facing the beast tide, they had to take the initiative to leave the city since their ability to kill mutant beasts was severely lacking.

This issue was immediately exposed, leaving everyone in a dilemma.

Fortunately, the higher-ups of Huiling City and Jiahe City quickly revealed the good news they had obtained from Creek Mountain City and the true reason for the beast tide.

Only then could they suppress the panic in time and prevent the city from falling into chaos.

“We’ve finally been rescued!”

Countless people were in tears as they lit incense and prayed for their safety.

The sea of flowers had maintained a balance with the surrounding three cities for many years.

This balance was suddenly broken, as if the mutant beasts were about to attack the city and cause both sides to suffer heavy losses. It was truly terrifying.

On the other hand, the martial arts factions in the city had sensed a huge opportunity.

The powerful mutant beasts outside the city were killed, and the situation had instantly reversed. Next was the stage for the humans. The three cities around the sea of flowers could harvest a large amount of material from the mutant beasts.

Many factions gathered their troops overnight and waited for dawn to break before charging into the wilderness.

After Chen Yiming swept through the area around the sea of flowers, he had killed a total of five mutant beasts that had mastered the transformation of internal force and dozens of ordinary warrior-level mutant beasts.

At this point, when comparing those above the warrior realm, the difference in numbers between the beast tide and the three human cities was huge. Next, it was time for the humans to surround and kill the mutant beasts.

The name “Chen Yiming” could be said to have shaken the three cities overnight. His achievements made the city guardians feel ashamed.

Though they had all mastered the transformation of their internal force, their true combat strength were on completely different levels. The city guardians who could only guard the city were at most at the middle level, and the weaker ones were at an even lower level.

On the other hand, Chen Yiming, who could kill a large number of mutant beasts of the same level, was undoubtedly at the top of this realm.

While Chen Yiming led the team south, the shopping center in Creek Mountain City was directly protected by people assigned by the city guardian. No incidents were allowed there.

This was not on account of his status as a member of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, but a treatment obtained through his actual combat results.
