196: locust plague

The third demon king: This was a rhino, its entire body silvery-white, as massive and imposing as a mountain!

It came from a zoo and, two months prior, had frantically smashed through its enclosure, even killing several tourists, before escaping into the Shiwan Mountains.

From then on, this rhino evolved to an astonishing fifty-meter size, becoming incredibly powerful.

Su Yuan looked at its silvery-white body, as if cast from alloy, and knew that this rhino was another creature with extremely high defense.

Perhaps, it was not much worse than the Big Black Fish.

Although this rhino's ranking was higher than the Big Black Fish, Su Yuan did not believe its strength truly surpassed the Big Black Fish.

The Big Black Fish's defense was already inconceivably high at its level.

Su Yuan had encountered countless Mutated Creatures during his devouring journey.

However, no other Mutated Creature had been able to match the Big Black Fish's defensive power at the same level.

Let alone match it, none even came close.

As for size, the Big Black Fish might not necessarily be inferior to this rhino; in fact, given the Big Black Fish's strength, even if it were at a disadvantage in size, Su Yuan would still favor it.

"Oh!"

The second demon king, when Su Yuan saw its picture, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This demon king was a lion, and its entire body was golden, not ordinary yellow, but a shimmering golden, appearing as if cast from pure gold.

Its golden mane was dazzling, majestic, and terrifying, its gaze seemingly capable of shaking one's heart.

Even if it was just a photograph, ordinary people would not dare to look directly at it; the moment they did, they would feel an uncontrollable panic, fear, and a desire to kneel and beg for mercy.

"Interesting, an ability similar to that Lion King?"

Su Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he scrutinized this Lion King, then continued to read the description.

This Lion King, like the giant rhino, also came from a zoo, even the same zoo, and escaped on the same day as the rhino.

Its size had also reached an astonishing sixty meters, even surpassing Su Yuan.

Like the giant rhino, it was also located in the Shiwan Mountains, so powerful that it had almost no rivals.

Unlike the giant rhino, this Lion King escaped at night without alarming anyone and had not been discovered since.

This lion's entry onto the list was only a few days ago when it was discovered by satellite; it seemed to be fighting an invisible enemy, causing a huge commotion, which brought it into people's view.

The final result was that the surrounding forest was destroyed, yet the Lion King was still alive, spitting golden flames that swept across the sky.

Su Yuan watched this satellite-captured video, his eyes narrowing slightly, but because it was a video, he couldn't discern what was fighting the Lion King.

In this short video, the Lion King's combat power astonished Su Yuan; it was absolutely powerful, even more formidable than his Evil Human Kin, the Giant-Toothed Fish and the Dark Stinger Shark.

That this Lion King ranked above the Big Black Fish was acceptable to Su Yuan.

This surprised him somewhat; he had originally thought that these so-called ten great demon kings would be inferior to the creatures in the Underground Dark Lake.

After all, based on Su Yuan's own experiences, the overall strength of terrestrial creatures was still not as good as that of aquatic creatures.

But unexpectedly, the second demon king alone was already so powerful, stronger than all the Mutated Creatures he had encountered.

"The next, the first demon king, must be an aquatic creature, right?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself; as an aquatic creature, he naturally hoped that an aquatic creature would take the top spot.

He looked at the first demon king and found that it was an incredibly majestic, giant rooster.

Unlike most Mutated Creatures that had begun to change in appearance, this rooster had only grown in size; its overall appearance was no different from an ordinary rooster.

The only difference was that its feathers flowed with a metallic luster, looking less like feathers and more like they were carved from alloy.

Especially its beak, just looking at it, one could feel its sharpness.

The rooster's size also stood out among the rest, estimated at sixty-five meters!

The last reported location of this rooster was in the central plateau, adjacent to the Shiwan Mountains.

As for the rooster's battle achievements, they were not displayed; it was only ranked first due to its size.

Therefore, many people in the comment section felt that the Lion King was the true strongest Mutated Creature in the country.

Su Yuan looked at the rooster's picture and didn't see anything particularly special; after all, it was just a picture, not the real rooster in front of him.

"Somewhat interesting, among the ten great demon kings, only the Big Black Fish, an aquatic creature, made the list."

Su Yuan chuckled, glancing at the blogger who called himself Bai Xiaosheng.

He then thought that this was, after all, just an unofficial ranking made by ordinary people based on various sources of information.

Compared to aquatic creatures hidden in the water, terrestrial creatures were indeed more noticeable.

Su Yuan's gaze focused on the Giant Insect; originally, he had planned to destroy the Mysterious Organization's Linjiang Branch after increasing the number of Evil Human Kin.

Now it seemed that he should first subdue this Giant Insect; it was perfectly suited for dealing with the Mysterious Organization hidden underground.

Su Yuan continued to scroll through videos and discovered that, besides Shangqing City, two other cities in Rabbit Country had also experienced Parasite crises.

"What a pity, by now, the survivors inside should have been rescued."

Su Yuan muttered indifferently, feeling a bit regretful.

Such places were the best recruiting grounds for his Evil Human Kin.

Unless he lifted his restrictions and recruited Evil Human Kin casually.

However, if he did that, putting aside other things, it would be too conspicuous, and he didn't know if it would attract even more terrifying existences.

Because of the Mysterious Organization, Su Yuan also had a different view of the current world.

He speculated that perhaps psionics was not appearing for the first time in this world.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the higher-ups of the Mysterious Organization.

Su Yuan pondered his next actions while scrolling through short videos.

At this time, a short video caught his attention.

This was a video captured by a netizen with a drone in the Yellow River basin.

In the murky, yellowish Yellow River, a distinct giant shadow could be seen; according to some computer analysis, the length of the shadow was between sixty-five and seventy meters.

This video, just released, quickly sparked discussion among many netizens.

"Holy cow! Is that size for real? It's even bigger than the first demon king!"

"Can such powerful Mutated Creatures also appear in water?"

...In the minds of most people, creatures in freshwater rivers and lakes were not as powerful as terrestrial animals.

After all, the water bodies of inland rivers were limited; they were not the ocean.

In normal times, there were indeed no creatures in Rabbit Country's inland rivers and lakes that could challenge top terrestrial beasts.

Su Yuan also watched in surprise, not expecting that such astonishing Mutated Creatures existed in inland rivers outside of the Underground Dark Lake.

He wondered about the strength of this creature.

Su Yuan observed carefully and found that the fish's body was quite robust, its proportions almost matching a Fanged Fish.

However, even so, it was impossible to determine what kind of fish it was; too many fish had such a body shape.

However, it could be ruled out as a snakehead fish or a Reeves Shad, which are slender fish.

Su Yuan glanced at the video's posting location, which was in Yanzhou City.

"Yanzhou City in Liang Province? It's on the way to the Great Desert of Death in the northwest; I can go there to take a look."

Su Yuan muttered; although his size was not as great as the opponent's, it didn't mean he lacked the confidence to suppress it.

In the era of psionic revival, while size was still important in a creature's combat power, it was no longer the decisive factor.

Su Yuan continued to scroll through short videos, deciding to thoroughly understand the general situation of the world.

As Su Yuan scrolled through his phone, he became aware of various situations involving Mutated Creatures.

Among them, what shocked Su Yuan the most was a Locusts plague that had occurred just yesterday.

Yesterday morning, an overwhelming swarm of Locusts suddenly appeared, attacking Zhongyuan Province!

This was a terrifying scene; the number of Locusts exceeded one hundred million, and each one was as large as a human head!

These Locusts not only devoured all crops but also other living beings!

Zhongyuan Province, the geographical center of Rabbit Country, had entered an emergency situation!

The Rabbit Country official announced that the country had entered an emergency situation, and military districts from various regions had dispatched large armies to aid Zhongyuan Province, vowing to eliminate the Locusts plague and protect the safety of the people!

Su Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light as he scrolled through the video, seeing some people surrounded by the Locust Swarm in the video, quickly being gnawed down to bones!

"Truly oblivious to death, these people could all provide me with a large amount of fear in the future!"

"You lowly insects, devouring humans, this is obstructing my Dao!"

From the situation in the video, Su Yuan could tell that the destructive power of this Locusts plague was far greater than that of Parasite!

The number of human deaths caused would also far exceed that of the Parasite disaster!

Parasite still had natural enemies, but these Locusts plagues, due to their terrifying numbers and mysterious peculiarities, could overwhelm even top-tier Mutated Creatures!
