Wu You watched as Garuru tore open the Blood Dragon's head and began gnawing on something deep within its blood-red crown.
Out of the corner of his eye, he also kept an eye on the Liu family members over there.
Several ancient tree spirits crawled up from the corpses on the ground.
Two of them took steps, their footsteps echoing as they walked towards Liu's group.
...
Liu Niansheng was the first to react.
"Run!"
Then they took the lead and fled towards Leping City.
Upon hearing the Third Miss's cry, the other Liu family guards, including Wu Ding, snapped out of their daze.
They immediately set off for Leping City at breakneck speed.
They couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Were they all roe deer? How could they have foolishly gone to watch these monsters fight, and then stood there in a daze after watching?
However, the two ancient tree spirits only chased them away and did not attack them. They only chased them for a couple of steps and then stopped.
But even the Liu family members dared not linger.
They could not and dared not test the patience of those "monsters".
At the same time, Liu Niansheng also sent two people to deliver the message along the only route Liu's family would take.
He explained what had happened, and also tried to stop Liu's supporters from plunging headlong into the monsters.
As for why Liu Niansheng didn't personally deliver the message...
To be honest, she thought that if the demon really wanted to chase people, it would be easier to escape in the city where there were many people and things, while running around in the wilderness to deliver a message would be very dangerous. She was not someone who would put the interests of her family above her own life.
Although, for now, these suddenly appearing monsters can be considered to have " rid the people of a scourge."
But no one can guarantee that they won't become new sources of harm.
If so, then not only can they come ashore, but their numbers are also numerous, and the harm they cause may be even greater than that of the Blood Dragon.
...
Wu You was naturally unaware of Liu Niansheng and the others' wild speculations, and had no interest in knowing them.
After Garuru swallowed a lump of flesh and blood mixed in with the brain matter from the Blood Serpent's brain, it stopped touching the rest of the corpse.
Wu You wasn't interested in eating corpses and hadn't entered Garuru's observation mode just now.
Now that it has eaten what it wanted, Wu You directly switches to Garurumon's observation mode to experience how Garurumon feels at this moment.
First, it's a feeling that's close to being satisfied or full, somewhat like enjoying a top-notch meal until you're just full.
Immediately afterwards, a warm current flowed from the abdomen to Garuru's entire body, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation.
After all the reactions subsided, Garurumon's system rating jumped directly to Bronze Advanced (Critical).
Hint: The critical beast, Garurugi with a lion's face, is about to undergo a metamorphosis, attracting natural energy for tempering.
Wu You's heart stirred; indeed, one could also transcend the mortal realm here.
If Garurumon becomes a Silver-tier character here, could the summoning privileges be upgraded to Silver-tier? Or at least, being able to summon only Garurumon would be fine.
The sky here suddenly began to darken.
A rumble of thunder came from overhead.
Holy crap! Wu You looked up and saw that the rolling leaden clouds overhead were flashing with electricity and pressed down very low, a scene somewhat similar to that of Ao Guang back then.
If I don't run, I'll become a target.
After collecting the five ancient tree spirits, Wu You "disappeared" into the air.
A while later, he appeared at his private residence.
"My lord."
Wang Fugui greeted him respectfully, then looked up at the sky with a hint of envy.
That's all; it knows what it's good at and what it's not good at.
Wu You grunted in agreement and went into the inner hall to continue observing Garuru's transformation process in observation mode.
The refugees crowded at the west gate and a few local residents of Leping City saw dark clouds hanging lower and lower in the sky, with lightning flashing across them.
Except for a few who still insisted on leaving the city, the rest scattered to find shelter from the thunderstorm.
The teahouses, restaurants, inns, and shops along the street were suddenly packed with people.
"Crackling..."
Before the rain, thunder struck.
After a flash of white light appeared between heaven and earth, it was as if a signal had been activated.
One after another, bolts of lightning struck down from the same direction outside the city.
At the same time, the sound of the wind suddenly became louder.
This caused sand and stones to fly all over the streets of Leping City.
...
Several bamboo baskets that no one had put away properly were lined up like horizontal spinning tops, and rolled past a teahouse on the street in the strong wind.
This teahouse is near the East Gate, so although there are many customers, it is not as crowded as the one on the west side.
The teahouse doors had long been sealed off by the staff, leaving only a few small windows offering a view of the street.
Inside, some people were still drinking tea and eating snacks. Most of these people did not believe the rumors that the Blood Dragon had appeared in Leping City.
A group of people, young and old, each holding a teacup, crowded around the windows, looking up at the sky.
"Hey guys, this weather's really weird today. Look, the clouds are so thick, it's all wind and thunder, but it's not raining."
The person closest to the window took a sip of tea as he spoke.
"I mean, I've never seen such strange weather in all my years of life."
One person immediately chimed in.
"It might rain soon."
"Then this lightning strike is a bit unusual, one after another."
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Crackling~~ Boom..." A bolt of lightning struck the roof of an inn not far away.
The people who were discussing it were startled and immediately fell silent.
After a while, they realized there were no lightning strikes nearby, so they started chatting again.
"Do you think it might be the heavens exorcising a demon?"
The person who spoke first started with another sentence, preparing to get everyone talking again.
"Roar~~~~~"
A powerful, thunderous roar suddenly came from outside the city.
"Clang, clang, bang..." A series of crisp sounds.
Many people couldn't hold their teacups and dropped them on the ground.
It shouldn't have been this bad, but then this roar, which sounded like no ordinary beast, came right after that person finished talking about monsters.
They were all startled.
Liu Niansheng and several guards sat at a table at the back of the teahouse.
They had heard what those people were saying, and even seen the "monster" they were talking about.
Hearing the lion's roar, the group tensed up, praying that Liu's reinforcements would encounter a second wave of messengers on their way.
...
In Observation Mode, Garurumon lets out a wild roar when it is struck by the most intense lightning.
Half a minute later, the roar of a lion was also heard in the ears of the private residence.
Wu You knew that Garuru's transformation into a mortal was almost complete.
At the Bronze level, its roar was fierce, but it couldn't possibly travel that far to reach the city clearly.
The thunderclouds in the sky are dissipating.
Garuru's entire body looked as if it had been doused with molten metal, possessing both the luster of metal and the moisture of water.
However, this state was quickly withdrawn into his body, and he returned to his original form as the Lion-faced King Kong with dark golden fur.
Its size and color remained unchanged, but its aura had become a genuine silver-level pressure.
System notification: Garuru the Lion-Faced Vajra has successfully completed his transformation into a mortal.
Alchemical Creature: Lion-faced King Kong, Name: Garuru
Talents: Demonic Power, Vajra Transformation, Concealing Breath
Abilities: Beast Techniques, Beast King's Roar, Visual Deception, Combat Keenness
Basic Assessment: Silver Beginner (Development potential exhausted)
Additional comment: This is a fighting beast that transcends the mortal realm.
After the system evaluation disappeared, Garuru also vanished in a burst of black light.
Wu You's wishful thinking failed, and the silver-level Garurumo automatically returned to its pen.
