Chapter 911: Unexpected Situation! (Bonus Chapter)
The off-road vehicle speeding across the Gobi Desert caught the attention of many travelers!
They all cast their gazes over!
When Jiangnan's group bypassed the traffic flow and approached the alert line, they discovered that roadblocks had already been set up ahead!
The road was sealed!
Three anti-riot vehicles were parked across the road, preventing traffic from passing through!
A team of local guards was stationed in front of the roadblock, and a dozen travelers who had gotten out of their vehicles were arguing fiercely with the guards!
"Why is the road sealed? We have all our documents in order, why won't you let us through?"
"Isn't this just delaying things? I'm going to meet a client! If the business is delayed, are you going to take responsibility?"
"When will it be unsealed? At least give us an explanation, right?"
The guard captain stood with his body ramrod straight!
"The road ahead is damaged and cannot be used for normal passage. Please turn around and head back in an orderly manner!"
"If you have urgent matters, please take a detour via Highway 702. I hope you all can understand my work!"
As soon as he said this, the travelers immediately became agitated!
"No way? Detour via 702? That's an extra four hundred kilometers! Wouldn't that waste a whole day?"
"What kind of road damage is it? We're all off-road vehicles! Big Gs! We can get through!"
"Look at him! He already went off-road! Why can't we?"
In an instant, the argument grew even more intense, with all fingers pointing at Jiangnan, who had parked his vehicle by the alert line!
"Tsk~ everyone is stuck on the road, and he just drives right to the front? Off-road vehicle is awesome, huh?"
"If he can go off-road, why can't we? If you keep blocking us, we'll go off-road and bypass this too!"
"Oh? Brother, you're pretty tough, huh? Still heading forward? As if you can get through!"
The guard captain saw Jiangnan's group driving into the Gobi Desert and even trying to cross the alert line, so he quickly waved his hand!
He ran over to stop them: "Hey hey hey! Little brother, don't go inside! It's dangerous!"
The travelers nearby crossed their arms, seemingly waiting to see Jiangnan and his group make fools of themselves.
Seeing the guard captain running over, Jiangnan's expression turned serious. He raised his hand and handed over his military ID!
"Report the situation. A simple road damage wouldn't require the guards to get involved, would it?"
The guard captain was stunned. So young? A military ID? What was going on?
He quickly opened it and his hand trembled!
A large swath of bright red stamps and too many medals of honor to count made his skin crawl.
Jiangnan took off his mask and let him compare it to the photo.
The guard captain's eyes widened. He immediately showed respect, stood at attention, and saluted!
"Wang Shoujiang! Reporting to Colonel Jiang!"
The moment those words were spoken, the expressions of the travelers all stiffened!
Colonel? So young? Was there a mistake?
Was he using a fake ID to fool people?
But looking at Jiangnan's face, someone suddenly recognized him, and murmurs erupted!
"Damn? Isn't this Nan Shen? I was watching his livestream just a few days ago! How did he end up in the Western Frontier?"
"It really is him! Damn, I'm seeing the real thing!"
Jiangnan's appearance made the scene even noisier, and many people even got out of their cars to squeeze to the front to look.
Meanwhile, Wang Shoujiang's expression turned serious: "We just received orders from the forward outpost to seal the road and evacuate the crowd nearby!"
"A group of spirit beasts broke through the blockade line and got in!"
Jiangnan frowned deeply. Shouldn't spirit beasts all be in the ling xu? How did they get out? Had a spirit disaster occurred?
He took out a telescope and looked toward the highway.
Not far away, the road was completely destroyed, with the roadbed smashed open.
There was a trail of huge footprints, and judging by their size, they were at least Platinum-rank spirit beasts, or even stronger!
Wang Shoujiang said: "I don't know how many spirit beasts broke through the blockade line from the No Man's Land this time."
"Incidents like this happen several times a month. I believe Dragon Abyss will resolve it quickly."
Jiangnan nodded: "First organize the crowd to evacuate. If they encounter spirit beasts, they have no means of resistance."
"I'll contact the forward outpost and ask for the specific situation to see if there's anything I can help with."
Jiangnan was about to make a call.
But he noticed that many vehicles behind, unaware of the situation, had already driven off-road into the Gobi Desert and were preparing to bypass the roadblock.
Once someone started, more cars tried to go off-road.
Jiangnan's face darkened. He teleported into the passenger seat of someone's car!
"Old bro, something's happened up ahead. It's very dangerous. Instead of rushing forward, why don't you turn around and get out of here?"
The driving old bro shuddered, almost scared to death by Jiangnan, who suddenly appeared in the passenger seat!
He slammed on the brakes. Before he could ask what was going on, Jiangnan had already teleported away.
The old bro looked like he'd seen a ghost and immediately turned around to drive back.
Jiangnan was busy telling everyone one by one when Xiao Jiuwo anxiously said, "Master! Look up in the sky!"
A massive shadow streaked across the distant sky, causing a series of sonic booms!
Looking up, it was a giant eagle over thirty meters in size! Its feathers were completely crimson!
The ground trembled as a herd of beasts deep in the Gobi Desert charged toward them at high speed!
Kicking up a rolling cloud of dust, their enormous bodies gave off an unparalleled sense of oppression!
Humans seemed as insignificant as ants in front of them!
In that moment, the travelers' eyes were filled with fear. No one was babbling anymore. They screamed and ran back to their cars!
They started the engines, quickly turned around, and floored the accelerator!
But such a long line of traffic couldn't be cleared that fast!
In panic, someone cursed loudly: "Hurry up and drive! Do you want to die? Get out of the way!"
As they spoke, they even rammed the car in front!
Seeing that the road was impassable, some drove off-road to escape!
Others were too scared to move, crouching on the ground and shivering, causing complete chaos!
Jiangnan urgently said: "Don't move around! Get back in your cars and stay put! Don't move!"
But the Crimson-Plumed Eagle that had flown past earlier didn't go far. It circled back in the air!
With a long cry, it spewed a torrent of blazing flames down at the traffic below!
A sea of fire blotted out the sky, covering over three hundred meters of the sky, and the surrounding temperature skyrocketed!
Jiangnan's eyes turned red!
"Spatial Barrier!"
In an instant, six spatial barrier panels were assembled by Jiangnan, expanded to their maximum!
"Boom!"
The blazing sea of flames sprayed onto the spatial barrier, with tongues of fire licking wildly at the void!
It was blocked by the barrier!
Jiangnan's spirit energy surged violently, and his Glazed Armor covered his entire body!
He pulled out the Blood-Drinking Halberd with one hand!
"Looking for death!"
Then he leaped into the air. The Gobi Desert was cratered beneath him as he charged straight through the blazing flames!
He smashed through the barrier, passed through the fire, and the halberd's blade traced a red line in the void!
The endless flames pouring out came to an abrupt halt. The Crimson-Plumed Eagle's head was cut off by Jiangnan's halberd!
Hot blood splattered all over him!
The massive head tumbled through the air a few times before crashing to the ground!
Meanwhile, the huge beast's corpse fell heavily onto the Gobi Desert, its wings still twitching!
Jiangnan landed back on the ground!
The travelers were terrified by the bloody scene before them. A tough-looking bro stuck his head out of the car window and vomited violently!
Looking at Jiangnan, clad in armor, holding a halberd, and covered in blood, the travelers' scalps tingled!
Was this the same big boy who smiled so beautifully just a moment ago, like a flower in spring?
Was he this brutal when he went berserk?
"Stay put and don't move around. Follow the orders, and I promise you'll be safe. If you run around and die, don't blame me!"
As soon as he said this, the travelers stuck on the highway didn't dare to run around anymore!
"Wang Shoujiang, take your men to organize the crowd at the scene. Leave the rest to us!"
Wang Shoujiang, though pale with fear, still shouted loudly: "Yes, sir!"
Although they often encountered situations where beast herds broke through the blockade, this was the first time they had seen one of this scale!
If Jiangnan and his group hadn't happened to be here, it would really have been a disaster!
But could Jiangnan and the others, with just a few people, hold off such a large-scale beast tide?
Jiangnan didn't dare to delay. The beast tide was about to charge over!
"Big Guy! You go and hold the beast tide! Keep the battlefield away from the highway!"
"Xuexue, Wolfbane! Kill without restraint! Take down as many as you can! Xiong Er, stay nearby and finish off any spirit beasts that slip through!"
"Mila, guard the crowd! Treat anyone who gets injured immediately! Xiao Jiuwo, handle the airspace! Take down any flying spirit beasts! Is everyone clear?"
Everyone nodded heavily and replied loudly: "Yes!"
At times like this, Jiangnan's orders were the only authority. Everyone just needed to execute!
Why?
Because Jiangnan was always right!
Wu Liang looked up and drank a bottle of Dali, his muscles bulging. He roared: "Nan Ge! Send me off!"
Jiangnan grabbed Wu Liang's arm and teleported several times directly above the beast herd!
The beast herd was a mix of various species, probably over a thousand!
Wu Liang was airdropped straight down!
In mid-air, he had already completed his beast transformation, and the thirty-meter-tall giant black bear slammed heavily into the ground!
He stomped a Gold-rank Ore-Eating Beast flat!
Then he roared: "Fight me if you dare!"
A dazzling red light flashed for an instant. Wu Liang had activated a group taunt!
The beast herd that had been charging toward the highway just moments ago suddenly stopped in their tracks!
Then, they crazily turned inward and swarmed toward Wu Liang, tearing and biting! For a moment, Wu Liang was like a rainbow candy dropped into an anthill!
Facing the impact of the beast herd, Wu Liang was not panicked at all!
"Reflective Armor! Savage Charge!"
In an instant, a layer of golden light covered his entire body, and he stood unmoving under the attacks of countless spirit beasts!
Jiangnan grinned. He teleported into the beast herd and snapped his fingers repeatedly!
Void Black Holes were released continuously, frantically compressing and clearing monsters!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao exchanged glances and charged straight at the beast tide!
