Chapter 120: The Evil God Finally Reveals Himself

"Captain, look over there." Inside the moving vehicle, Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Wen Hui scanned the landscape outside their windows, searching for a place to rest. They were currently in the midst of a flight for survival, so they weren't looking for luxury—only a spot with decent cover. Naturally, if it could provide shelter from the wind and access to a water source, that would be even better.

The direction Wen Hui was pointing held a promising prospect. It was a massive broken crag; one side was jagged and uneven, resembling a small hill, while the other was a gentle, vertical cliff. This cliff faced directly away from the direction of Maple City, and it was expansive enough to accommodate several thousand people—an ideal resting place for their current convoy.

"Lieutenant General Feng, thirty degrees clockwise. There is a rocky mountain there that can serve as our campsite for the night." Following Wen Hui's lead, Hua Ze also spotted the location. It was indeed a great place for concealment, and he contacted Feng Guoqing via the wireless communication gear.

"Hmm, looks good. We'll take it. Notify the whole team: adjust course thirty degrees clockwise and continue for three thousand meters. We’ll set up camp there tonight." Feng Guoqing’s commanding voice crackled over the radio. The lead vehicle turned, and the ones following behind did the same.

"Boom, boom, rumble." Not long after the convoy changed direction, a familiar, thunderous roar echoed, accompanied by violent tremors.

"Captain!" The sound, which felt like a nightmare repeating itself, caused Zhuang Xiaoyuan’s expression to change drastically, as if she were reliving the events of a few days ago.

"Is it another Burrowing-class?" Clenching his teeth, Hua Ze scanned the surroundings, feeling the vibrations in the ground and searching for the location where the Burrowing-class demon was about to emerge.

"Captain, it’s right beneath us!" The ground began to bulge slightly. Sensing the warning in the wind, Wen Hui shouted, her face full of anxiety.

"Below us? Old Fu, pull the steering wheel upward, fast!" Hearing Wen Hui’s cry, Zhuang Xiaoyuan felt the strange tremors from the ground as well. Her expression shifted; while ordering Fu Jian, she leaned forward, reached into the mess of switches between the driver and passenger seats, and slammed her hand onto the largest red button.

"Awoo~" A massive turtle head burst through the soil, its gaping, blood-red maw lunging toward the dilapidated electric vehicle carrying Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others.

"Boom!" As Zhuang Xiaoyuan pressed the switch, red flames erupted from beneath the car. Four hidden nozzles on the undercarriage of their electric vehicle suddenly blasted dazzling sparks, the powerful thrust instantly lifting the entire car off the ground.

Fu Jian reacted with lightning speed. Following Zhuang Xiaoyuan’s order, he instinctively yanked the steering wheel. As the wheel pulled back, the cargo hold at the rear of the electric vehicle snapped off and fell into the turtle's gaping mouth. Beneath the section where the vehicle seemed to break apart, two identical nozzles spewed flames, propelling the car forward and allowing it to narrowly dodge the Burrowing-class demon’s bite.

With a soft "clack," the flame jets lasted only a few seconds before extinguishing. The electric vehicle landed on the ground and skidded forward for a distance before coming to a stop. After all, it was only a makeshift modification; both its power and materials were of the lowest grade, but managing to escape the danger zone in such a critical moment was a major success.

"Explosive Flame Slash!" Before the car had even come to a full stop, Hua Ze had already jumped out. He summoned a greatsword wreathed in raging flames and swung it toward the Burrowing-class demon, which had just poked its head out. This was the perfect moment to strike; the turtle, having just broken through the earth, had no chance to dodge.

"That is very impolite of you." A woman appeared quietly beside Hua Ze, a black dagger resembling a shadow held firmly in her hand, hacking at his flaming greatsword.

With a "boom," the woman dodged the sword’s automatic fiery counterattack by stepping back. She hadn't succeeded in stopping Hua Ze’s assault, but his trajectory had been altered. The flaming blade grazed the top of the Burrowing-class demon’s head and struck the wilderness, creating a wall of fire, but failing to harm the monster.

"It really is quite impolite, especially in front of Lord Akasa." Another woman appeared on Hua Ze’s other side. With her left hand in a fist and her right hand open, the moment Hua Ze noticed her, her right fist struck out. A heavy force slammed directly into the flame armor Hua Ze had activated at top speed.

"Boom!" Even with the protection of his flame armor, Hua Ze felt the weight of the blow. His feet, planted firmly on the ground, skidded over a dozen meters across the wasteland before he came to a halt.

"King-class Evil God... why are they so strong?" The speed that allowed her to appear beside him undetected, combined with the immense force that penetrated his flame armor—these were no ordinary King-class Evil Gods.

"Captain!" Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Wen Hui had just stepped out of the car when they witnessed Hua Ze being forced back. The two women who had suddenly appeared looked identical, and the black magic patterns on their foreheads marked their status: they were a pair of twin King-class Evil Gods.

"Yo, we meet again, my favorite little rabbit." A young man appeared silently in front of Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Wen Hui, blocking their path to Hua Ze.

"Meet again? Xiao Hui, do you know him?" Seeing the young man suddenly block their way, Zhuang Xiaoyuan’s expression turned grave. Unlike the twin Evil Gods on the other side, the young man before them had a crimson magic pattern etched onto his forehead that looked as if it were dripping blood.

"Who would know a guy like this? I think she’s here for you." With an equally grave expression, Wen Hui kept her guard up against the man while responding softly to Zhuang Xiaoyuan. A vibrant green storm swirled around her, dyeing her hair and clothes in bright emerald hues.

"Oh~ such beautiful colors. I didn't expect there to be two little rabbits. This is truly exciting." Seeing the green storm manifesting around Wen Hui and the silent completion of her divine transformation, the expression on the young man's face became increasingly intrigued.

"Forget who he's here for—what do we do now?" With those crimson patterns, this guy had to be an Emperor-class Evil God. He was likely the very "Akasa" that the previously defeated Evil Gods had been shouting about.

"What else can we do? We have to grit our teeth and fight." The Hurricane Spear appeared in Wen Hui’s hand. Faced with such a powerful enemy, they had no choice but to push forward.

"Die, monster!" "Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!" Before Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Wen Hui could move, someone else beat them to it. Accompanied by the roar of gunfire, Fu Jian, who had jumped out of the car, held a machine gun in his hands, spitting a fierce stream of bullets outward.

"Wait, Old Fu..."
