Standing in the clouds, Lin Qingliu thought for just a few seconds, and a plan to help Hope City with the chaos tonight quickly formed in his mind.

Amid the whistling sounds brought by the three pairs of wings, the scales on Lin Qingliu's head began to slowly change, extending forward to form a structure similar to a bird's beak.

His body began to reshape itself once again, and the last bit of human-like appearance completely disappeared. At this moment, the only thing in the sky was a strange beast that had never been recorded.

This is a griffin with three pairs of wings, a creature that is a fusion of mythology and fantasy, and is born out of the story through the combination of multiple abilities.

A sharp whistle resounded throughout the night sky, as if invisible ripples collided with the edge of the Holy Shield's domain.

The next moment, Lin Qingliu saw flashes of red light on the gray-black central spire.

The expected alarm was triggered. Let's see how much face Hope City can give me.

---

The central spire, in the dark room.

The square-faced man who was sleeping felt his right arm twitch suddenly, and a piercing pain quickly spread throughout his body.

Big problem, undoubtedly a big problem.

The result of his training was almost engraved in his bones. The moment he woke up, he clenched his right fist and swung it hard at a red button beside the bed.

The next moment, the lights in the dark room suddenly lit up, alarms rang, and red lights, indicating a serious situation, flashed in every corridor and hallway.

The square-faced man equipped the communicator while running outside.

Sure enough, as soon as I put it on my ears, a noisy sound came from it:

"Red alert? What level?"

"What's going on? There are no signs of attacks in the inner and outer city areas."

"It's the 'Holy Shield' that has been triggered."

The two hatches opened quickly in front of the man. Although it was late at night, the noise caused by the hydraulic rods and mechanical structures seemed insignificant.

The man walked into the elevator that was waiting for him at any time, swallowed his saliva, and spoke slowly into the communicator:

"Fifth level."

As if something incredible was heard, the originally noisy communication channel fell into extreme silence for a short time.

"The fifth-level beasts don't even have a herald..."

A voice murmured:

"Why didn't the city defense army send any news?"

The square-faced man had already taken the elevator up a long distance. When he heard other people's questions, he responded calmly:

"The signal comes from the air."

There was another pause on the other end of the communicator, and then a steady voice began to issue orders:

"'Wan Juan' will go to the bottom floor. 'Jian Cheng' will be on standby on the first floor, and the rest of the members will gather on the high platform."

"yes."

A female voice came with obvious determination.

"I'm already in the elevator."

The square-faced man also responded:

"Keep communicating. I will conduct observations shortly."

The elevator door opened, and the City of Hope illuminated by the moonlight was clearly visible in front of the "Holy Shield".

At the same time, Lin Qingliu, who was far away in the clouds, also noticed that a square-faced man appeared on the wedge-shaped platform closest to the top of the central spire.

His expression was solemn, but his eyes were scanning the ground and the sky like a lion patrolling its territory.

The next moment, his eyes were locked on the strange beast hovering in the sky. The two looked at each other, and neither of them was willing to retreat.

Just a few seconds later, two other figures appeared behind the Holy Shield.

One of the two men had a gaunt figure, but his eyes seemed to be shining with brilliance, just like the one El saw at the bottom of the spire in his memory.

The other person was a woman who looked about the same age as Jinmo, but she seemed to have neglected the maintenance of her appearance. Even at such a long distance, the wrinkles on her face were still clearly visible.

Seeing the three people gathered together, Lin Qingliu also had some guesses about their identities.

After communicating and investigating with Luke, Lin Qingliu vaguely guessed that the person on the other side was a member of the elusive First Team.

At this moment, he really wanted to fly down and have a polite conversation with the three of them to express his admiration for them.

Unfortunately, as he is now an "alien beast", he naturally has to do things that are consistent with his identity as an "alien beast".

So what is the behavior style of the alien beast?

Of course, if you don’t agree, just fight!

I saw three pairs of wings flapping vigorously, and the surrounding air whistled because of the high compression.

The griffin's body instantly rose more than ten meters high, and it leaned back like a predator gathering strength before pouncing on its prey.

Then, the strange beast that had never appeared in the information wrapped its body with its wings and began to rapidly spin and fall towards the center spire, like an armor-piercing warhead that penetrated the defense line and went straight to the heart of the target.

"How to fight? Do you have a plan?"

Looking at the fifth-level energy beast that was approaching at an increasingly faster speed, the three super-powered beings were not afraid at all.

"Connect to the city defense channel and check at any time whether there is a beast tide attacking.

“Shrink the Aegis to the open area around the spire and let it in.

"Lead them to the ground so that the 'Fortified City' can also join the battle."

"clear."

"yes."

One command after another came out of the haggard man's mouth, and a simple but effective plan was immediately implemented.

While Lin Qingliu's body was falling rapidly, he was also using his ability to continuously proliferate his scales.

The armor plates, which are harder than most metals, are stacked one after another. The shape of the griffin disappears little by little, and it looks more like a conical bullet.

The illusory sound of shattering resounded throughout Lin Qingliu's consciousness as he forcefully broke through the Holy Shield's defense.

This was completely within his expectations.

After all, he had had extraordinary communication experiences with the two Holy Shields, and he had some idea of the strength of this ability.

Before reaching the fifth energy level, it would be difficult to trap him even at full strength, not to mention that when it was diluted to cover the entire Hope City, its warning effect would be greater than its defensive effect.

Lin Qingliu could see that the other party was trying to lure him to land on the ground for a decisive battle, or at least to control the battlefield at an ultra-low altitude not far from the ground.

After sneering in his heart, Lin Qingliu decided to play along with the enemy.

With a thought, the speed of the Griffin armor-piercing bullet increased again.

The breakthrough of the "Alien Beast" was obviously within the expectations of "Holy Shield". He did not show any disappointment about it. After looking at his two teammates, he turned over and jumped off the platform.

A flickering protective shield began to appear around him to prevent any accidents from happening.

The withered man also jumped down at the same time. Unlike the "Holy Shield", the few remaining muscles in his almost skinny body seemed to burst out with powerful strength, allowing him to stride down the wall of the spire.
