130: Chapter 130 The Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon Goes Out of Control
There is a Mingyue Gymnasium in Ningyang City.
This gymnasium, donated by Bright Moon Company, is the largest gymnasium in Ningyang City to date, bar none.
It covers an area of 50,000 square kilometers and can accommodate 10,000 spectators.
Today, all eight gates of this gymnasium are open, serving as one of the core venues for housing out-of-control beasts.
People and vehicles come and go, carrying iron cages, each containing an out-of-control beast.
Inside the largest venue, Hall No. 1.
Dense rows of iron cages are neatly arranged on the field. The hissing and roaring of the beasts mix together, while the smell of blood intertwines with the complex odors of the beasts, forming a nauseating stench that makes people pale just by smelling it.
The beasts belonging to the three members of the War Wolf Squad are also in the cages.
The Starlight Wolf King keeps slamming into the iron cage, covering its head and face in blood, yet it refuses to stop. It bares its fangs, emitting a low growl with bloody bubbles from its blood-soaked mouth.
Some blood spray lands on Song Jiang's face.
He helplessly wipes the blood off his face and says, "Wolf King, bear with it a little longer. It will be fine once the antidote is developed."
"What did your brother say?" Yang Juan asks.
The Blazing Fire Crow is trapped in a heat-insulated glass box. Its flames are churning, and it constantly strikes the glass box. Fortunately, the material of the box is decent enough that it hasn't melted.
Chen Danian also looks at Song Jiang with an inquiring gaze.
In the iron cage made of composite metal at his feet, the Blasting Armor Rock Rhino has been injected with an overdose of anesthetic and is fast asleep.
Song Jiang shakes his head. "Bright Moon Company is already severely saturated; there's no way to squeeze anyone in. They told us to wait a bit longer."
"I see." Yang Juan sighs disappointedly, looks at their three beasts, and says gloomily, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Don't be too pessimistic. Our situation is already considered good; at least both the people and the beasts have survived," Chen Danian says.
Upon hearing this, Song Jiang and Yang Juan nod, feeling slightly encouraged.
When the beast tide arrived, the three of them were together and were drenched in blood. At dawn, the three of them were executing a mission in the Huo Rong Mystic Realm.
Suddenly, the beasts went out of control.
Fortunately, because the three beasts were close to each other and regarded each other as prey, the three people were lucky enough to survive.
Afterwards, the three of them recalled their beasts and returned to the city, only to find out that the entire city was in chaos. They were found by soldiers, their beasts were locked in cages, and then they were brought here.
"What about Li Yu?" Chen Danian asks again.
"That's right, what about Master Li? With him here, they should be able to develop an antidote very quickly, right?" Yang Juan looks at Song Jiang.
Song Jiang replies, "He is in seclusion. All Senior Cultivators are in seclusion researching the antidote."
"That's good. With Brother Li Yu taking action, there should be an antidote soon."
Chen Danian's words receive unanimous agreement from the other two, and they tacitly turn their gaze toward the center of the gymnasium.
In fact, it is not just them; everyone and every beast present frequently cast fearful glances toward the center.
There is a huge cage there.
A massive ice prison made entirely of cold ice, with a blazing red, scorching giant beast trapped inside.
36 ice chains wrap around the giant beast's wings, neck, mouth, claws, and other parts, pulled into crisscrossing straight lines.
Its massive size of a hundred meters makes it look like a small mountain lying on the ground, motionless. Yet, terrifying heat waves still penetrate the ice, spreading in all directions. Its heartbeat sounds like a drum, and its breathing is like thunder.
Anyone in front of it would feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
The Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon!
A giant beast cultivated by Li Yu, a powerful beast that can pin other lords to the ground and crush them, and incinerate a Lord Giant Eagle with a few balls of fire until not even a scrap remains.
Being able to cultivate such an excellent beast, researching some antidote should be very simple for Li Yu, right?
The three members of the War Wolf Squad think simultaneously.
"Screech—"
Suddenly, a sharp cry rings out.
The three of them follow the sound, and the people around also look over curiously, only to see the Blazing Fire Crow in the glass box suddenly bleeding all over, its flames boiling, emitting a "crackle" of explosions.
"Blazing Fire Crow!" Yang Juan exclaims.
"What's wrong with it?"
"I don't know, it was just fine a moment ago!"
"Quick, call a Breeder! Call a Breeder over here!"
"I'm going now!"
Song Jiang hurriedly runs toward the entrance, where several Breeders are stationed.
However, before he can run very far.
With a "clatter," the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon in the central ice prison stands up, the thick ice chains colliding and making a loud noise.
"Roar—"
Accompanied by the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon's painful cry, a violent heat wave sweeps across the area, blowing away countless beast cages and Beast Tamers.
Before Song Jiang and the others can react, they are also knocked to the ground by the heat wave.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems to have lost control!"
Song Jiang and the others exclaim, looking at the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon. They see that the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon, which was originally quiet after being injected with anesthetic, has suddenly become manic as if stimulated by something.
The Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon struggles violently. Even as the ice chains cut into its flesh, spraying blood and exposing bone, it shows no sign of stopping.
Suddenly, its movements stiffen, and it stops moving.
The surroundings are dead silent.
"This is..."
"It should be fine now, right? Maybe it had a nightmare. As expected of a giant beast, its reaction to a nightmare is intense."
While the three are talking, the scales all over the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon's body suddenly explode, scattering like flying knives. The three of them narrowly dodge, not yet understanding what is happening.
Blood sprays like a fountain, shooting hundreds of meters into the air, turning into a curtain of blood rain, and pouring down upon the crowd and the beasts.
Looking at the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon again.
It collapses, its body gradually becoming shriveled.
Pfft, pfft...
A few muffled sounds—it's the Blazing Fire Crow. Its body sprays blood all over, and it, too, shrivels up.
At the same time, the beasts that were drenched in the blood rain all become even more manic. The beasts that had been sedated also open their eyes, wobble to their feet, and gaze fiercely at the people.
"Oh no! Something happened!"
The expressions of Song Jiang and the others change drastically.
The soldiers guarding the entrances see that the situation inside is out of control, immediately sound the alarm, lock the gates, and rush in with their beasts and Breeders, intending to suppress the out-of-control beasts.
Meanwhile, the blood rain is still falling.
Chen Danian thinks of something, his face filled with terror. He runs toward the nearest soldier, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Don't come over! Don't come over!!!"
But it is too late.
The soldiers rush in with their beasts. The remnants of the blood rain fall onto the beasts, and several of them begin to shiver and wobble, as if they were drunk.
Immediately after, the expressions of these beasts become ferocious, their eyes bloodshot, and they lunge at their Beast Tamers or the nearby Breeders.
In an instant, blood gushes out, and screams arise.
