After listening to Scotty's detailed account, Meili's furrowed brows smoothed out, and she smiled, saying, "So, Qin Feng—that young man—is quite a persistent one." In truth, Scotty wasn't particularly impressed with Qin Feng, but he had to agree, nodding, "Exactly. I've already lost to him before." How could one claim a defeat as deserved if one didn't first acknowledge the strength of one's opponent? Though Qin Feng wasn't particularly intelligent, he understood this principle well. "Very well," Meili said, her smile brightening, "Then I'll go meet him. In the meantime, you take the six flying cockroaches and head to a city with a large population." "Ah!" Scotty exclaimed, eyes widening, "Qin Feng will surely rush over right away. Shouldn't we be operating quietly, then?" Meili glanced at him sharply, "Physically strong but mentally simple—my very purpose was to draw Qin Feng out. As soon as he appears, your mission will be complete."
"The big guy suddenly had it all clear and nodded, saying, 'Understood, I'll go right away.' After he and the six large cockroaches had walked out of sight, the beautiful fairy race woman smiled with a touch of amusement to herself, murmuring, 'Qin Feng, a Chinese cultivator—haha, truly unexpected. There are people with such a profession on Earth. This trip has definitely been worthwhile.' She then turned back and looked at the endless ice plains, changing her tone to say, 'Scotti is indeed a rather foolish fellow. How could he have chosen such a remote, lifeless spot as a base location? It seems he's genuinely intimidated by Qin Feng and had no choice but to settle here.' Strictly speaking, however, the location is actually quite excellent—especially having the base built beneath the ice surface. Even with hundreds of military reconnaissance satellites monitoring the area around the globe, it would be extremely difficult to detect anything."
Scotty chose a well-known city in Northern Europe. Suddenly, six large flying cockroaches appeared in the sky above the city—someone shouted, and immediately, a wave of screams erupted. The once-ordered streets turned chaotic. The energy spheres expelled by the large flying cockroaches had twice the destructive power of the medium-sized ones. Once they identified their targets, they swiftly launched their energy spheres, often causing a cascade explosion where one building collapsed, triggering the rapid collapse of several surrounding buildings.
Boom...boom...
With intense explosions, tall buildings crumbled, scattered screams echoed across the city, and flames surged everywhere. The city residents no longer cared about the earlier announcement that the magical beings had been eradicated—they were solely focused on how to escape.
The news of the magical beings' attack spread quickly. When Qin Feng learned of it, it was already several minutes later. He dialed Isabella's number. "Shasha, Scotty has arrived in the northern city of XXX. We're on our way."
"Alright," the beautiful officer replied. Then he informed Rei, and the three of them headed toward the incident site from different directions. By now, Rei no longer insisted on her belief that one should never pursue a fleeing enemy—she truly felt she was wrong. Even if she hadn't managed to defeat Scotty initially, pursuing him had always been better than doing nothing; at the very least, she had a fifty percent chance of succeeding. But by refusing to pursue, she had lost that very chance altogether. In just a matter of minutes, a modern city had turned into a wasteland, with all buildings over fifteen stories tall completely collapsed, and countless civilians killed or injured. Compounded by the widespread damage to gas and water pipelines, the atmosphere throughout the city was one of profound stillness. A major overpass, blocked by countless vehicles, had fortunately been struck by a single energy sphere. When it exploded, the entire bridge was lifted into the air, and the line of cars that had been waiting behind it scattered like petals of a blooming flower, landing across a one-kilometer radius.
Yingya arrived first and saw the scene of devastation before her. She felt deep regret over her earlier decisions—proof that she had been overly confident. In truth, even if Qin Feng had offered alternative suggestions, she would have dismissed them without hesitation, given her mindset at the time. Therefore, no matter what Qin Feng had done, the outcome before her remained unchanged.
"Are you not feeling well?" Qin Feng stopped behind her and said. "The responsibility isn't entirely yours. This result is one we both hoped to avoid, yet it's unavoidable. All we can do now is eliminate Scotty and his men, to avenge those who have fallen."
"Hmm," the beautiful Inspector nodded firmly. "Whenever I make a mistake in the future, please don't hesitate—speak up and correct me directly."
He narrowed his eyes. "I certainly can, but will you listen?"
"Uh, well, I'll try my best to listen."
"She could come up with such a response—already that was no easy feat. Isabella also arrived and said, 'As for what comes next, I suggest we take separate actions. Qingya will keep Scotty occupied, and I'll take charge of three large cockroaches with Xiao Feng—each of us handling one. Let's work in coordination, how does that sound?'
'Agreed,' Qin Shao raised his hand first, and Qingya also supported the proposal.
In fact, when she first appeared, Scotty had already clearly seen her, yet he had been deliberately pretending not to notice. To this day, he continues to direct his subordinates to cause disruptions, maintaining the appearance of being completely unaware of her arrival.
'Magic race, you dare show up now? Today, I'll personally finish you!' she exclaimed, charging straight at Scotty.
'Immortal cultivator, I didn't expect you to still be here. Didn't you see? My reinforcements have arrived! If you're wise, you'd better get out of the way—otherwise, I'll blow you to pieces, leaving not a single trace!'
"Scotty is bursting with confidence—not just because of the six towering cockroaches around him, but also because of General Meili, who's surely nearby and ready to launch a sudden assault at any moment. 'Arrogant,' Qingya is currently livid, having completely forgotten her original strategy of merely containing the enemy. She simultaneously activates three of her key assets and launches a full-scale attack. Qin Shao can't help but whisper, 'A true luxury player' in his heart. To anyone observing, it might seem as though he's simply showing off his array of artifacts. As the Inspector of Oversight, shouldn't he be a bit more composed? How can he expect the rest of us—those with only one or two artifacts, the mere 'threads' among us—to keep up? Isabel is facing the large cockroaches for the first time, so she's also visibly excited. As she flies, her body leaves a trailing silhouette. Before the opponents can react, she's already closed the distance to just a few centimeters and swiftly thrusts her dagger forward."
Pff... The sharp Sarahville leaves a stunning wound on the thick exoskeleton of the large cockroach, and immediately green bodily fluids gush out. Gradually, these fluids shift from fresh green to deep green, then to dark green, and finally approach black. The blade is now venomous.
