Things have come full circle again, what will be the fourth pet beast contract?
Li Cunxu was riding a rented bicycle, blowing away his gloomy mood as he cycled through the roads of Mechanical City.
A loud whistle came from behind.
Before he turned around, a few ghost-riding teenagers sped past him on their motorcycles.
The cool mechanical style, reflective metal shell, the scattering lights, tires covered in blue flames, leaving behind marks of burning blue fire on the road.
Li Cunxu exclaimed, "So cool!"
Bang~
Within just three seconds, the ghost-rider team collided with another team of ghost-riders that suddenly appeared from another exit.
The situation was extremely tragic, like fireworks exploding.
The casualties weren't particularly severe, only half were injured, and the injuries were only on the team that suddenly emerged.
The ghost-riders from the normally passing team were all equipped with an emergency response shield, which could instantly erect a protective barrier to safeguard the rider and the vehicle in case of an accident.
It was a must-have item on the road for ghost-riders, but the team that jumped out from another path apparently removed it for the sake of thrill-seeking.
No time to watch the spectacle.
A flash of lightning illuminated the world, blinding everyone's eyes.
In the distance, electric serpents danced in the black clouds on the horizon, with violent lightning striking down one after another.
Li Cunxu found the lightning familiar, it was black.
It reminded him of Beidao Yu's black lightning talent, this black lightning was quite similar to Beidao Yu's.
A giant bird covered in lightning emerged from the black storm clouds, its feathers were the color of blue-black.
"Isn't that the blue-black bird that attacked the airship? How can it appear in Mechanical City again, isn't it afraid of being killed or captured by human powerhouses?"
"Wait, how did it master the black lightning? Did it extract the black lightning seed from Beidao Yu's body and refine the exotic lightning 'Black Lightning'?"
"It's definitely the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird."
Li Cunxu was utterly convinced, recalling the things exploded by the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, he had a strong urge to take it down.
A Mechanical Thunder Dragon rose from the ground, flying into the thunderclouds to battle the blue-black giant bird.
To Li Cunxu's surprise, there was only one king-level Mechanical Thunder Dragon fighting for quite a while, and the other king-level entities in Mechanical City seemed oblivious.
Moreover, it was apparent that the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird was at a disadvantage, yet it didn't run, as if something was drawing it in and it was unwilling to leave.
"Could it be that the appearance of the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird is because someone lured it here with something intensely attractive to it? The other kings didn't intervene because the Beast Master of the Mechanical Thunder Dragon made an agreement with them, worried about scaring the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird away."
Li Cunxu's guess was very close to the truth.
The cyclist next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Something's not right, the thunderstorm seems to be approaching us."
Others took a look, "It really is."
"What are you standing around for, run!"
Everyone quickly turned their bikes around, adrenaline surging, pedaling fast.
As for the injured ghost-riding teenagers from the collision, no one cared.
Li Cunxu was also very scared, as this was outside the city, not inside, without protection, and if a thunderstorm hits, there will be fatalities.
Instead of turning to flee with everyone else, he summoned Xiaoruan to dig a tunnel.
The thunderstorm seemed slow, but its movement speed was actually very fast, arriving in no time.
Listening to the sound of lightning striking the ground above, Li Cunxu was terrified.
These were just the aftermaths of a king-level battle.
The short underground distance didn't feel safe or secure.
The next moment, just as Li Cunxu thought, a bolt of lightning struck down, melting the soil with its high temperature.
Li Cunxu broke out in a cold sweat, with lingering fear, as the lightning struck just five meters behind him.
And this was over twenty meters deep underground.
"Xiaoruan, stop digging, let's go, go, go."
Li Cunxu summoned Xiaoruan back into the Beast Taming Space, then activated the emergency escape device to enter the Beast Taming Space.
Thankfully, Li Cunxu acted decisively.
Not long after, the spot where Li Cunxu was standing got struck by lightning.
"Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, I have another reason to kill you, and also the Mechanical Thunder Dragon."
The Mechanical Thunder Dragon had clearly superior strength over the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, and yet the battlefield shifted towards Mechanical City, which only signifies one thing, the Mechanical Thunder Dragon didn't care about other people's lives, deliberately leading the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird towards Mechanical City, its purpose being to ensure the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird doesn't escape.
While Li Cunxu hid in the Beast Taming Space, as the thunderstorm approached the city, a king couldn't resist stepping in to drive both of them away.
This driving away made the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird mistakenly believe the two were in cahoots to surround and kill it, and it immediately fled, the spectacular purple lightning reappearing as it did.
In the blink of an eye, the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird was gone.
The Beast Master of the Mechanical Thunder Dragon, Lei Xieming, furiously yelled:
"What are you doing, Wang Tu? You scared away my pet beast."
Wang Tu suddenly appeared in front of Lei Xieming, expressionless, and threw a punch. The punch seemed slow but was actually lightning-fast. Lei Xieming didn't even have time to react before it hit him in the right eye.
"Fool, look at your actions, how many people have died because of them."
Lei Xieming clutched his right eye, angrily saying, "Did you even consider that if I conquer that special thunderbird, how many people I could protect in the future?"
In the next instant, Lei Xieming's vision in the left eye went black, accompanied by severe pain transmitted from the left eye to his brain.
Seeing their Beast Master being hit, the Mechanical Thunder Dragon was furious but didn't dare retaliate, all because there was a pair of eyes watching from the starry sky. If it dared to make a move, it would suffer a fatal blow.
Wang Tu looked down indifferently at Lei Xieming, who was kneeling in pain atop the Mechanical Thunder Dragon, clutching his eyes tightly.
"No, I haven't calculated that, can you calculate it for me?"
"Damn."
Wang Tu softly said, "You're speaking too quietly, could you be louder, please?"
Lei Xieming lowered his hands, revealing two black eyes.
"Wang Tu, this isn't over, Mechanical Thunder Dragon, let's go."
Wang Tu watched Lei Xieming depart, making no further move, solely because Lei Xieming was the youngest and most cherished apprentice of the Mechanical Emperor.
Previously, as the thunderstorm neared Mechanical City, the kings didn't make a move, because the Mechanical Emperor's presence was intimidating them.
If it weren't for the thunderstorm getting too close to Mechanical City, the Mechanical Emperor wouldn't have retracted his presence.
Li Cunxu stayed in the Beast Taming Space for a whole day before coming out.
The outside world was in ruins, unbearable to look at.
The ground looked as if it had been plowed over, with countless huge craters and cylindrical pits dozens of meters deep in the earth left in the path of the thunderstorm.
Li Cunxu walked over the scorched earth, looking at some human-shaped burnt remains on the ground, feeling an inexpressible anger.
Being charred to ash was considered decent; some were struck to dust and vanished.
"Must become stronger! Without becoming stronger, you never know when you might get caught in the crossfire and be reduced to ashes by the aftermath of strong powers clashing."
Lost in thought, Li Cunxu stumbled over something hard underfoot and almost fell into a nearby giant crater.
"Please save me... please save me... please save me..."
