Daka Defense Airport.
Tens of thousands of Genetic Beasts roamed freely here, and what was astonishing was that despite their numbers, there were no cases of them attacking each other.
A man with a pair of binoculars stood inside a steel fortress several miles from the airport, scanning the surroundings.
"Sigh, we’ve been waiting for so many days. Although a large number of Fierce Beasts have left the airport, there are still so many left. When will they all go away?" the man with the binoculars couldn’t help but complain.
"Forget about it. We have food and drink here, eating Fierce Beast meat and drinking groundwater. What’s there to be dissatisfied about? Think about when the defense line collapsed, how many comrades were killed?"
The person who replied was a young woman. She was dressed in Federation Army uniform and must be from the Federation Army.
Even though they had been cornered by the Fierce Beasts into this small fortress, she still carried an air of valor.
"Sister Han Qi, Brother Wei, do you think Xiao Qi is not going to make it?" came an anxious female voice from a corner of the fortress.
This woman was named Zhong Daiwei, the only one among the four who was neither a supporter nor from the Federation Army.
"Sigh, it’s no use. He needs medication, and as soon as the Demon Beasts retreat, I can try to get some from one of the planes," Wei Datai sighed.
Han Qi snorted, "Those planes have long been ravaged by the Fierce Beasts. To say nothing of finding medicine, it’d be a feat if you could even find a decent spot."
The four fell into silence.
Everyone was clear that, although they had Fierce Beast meat to eat and water to drink, their death was only a matter of time.
The Fierce Beasts would definitely discover them, and once that happened, they would swarm them, leaving no chance of survival.
Even if the Fierce Beasts ultimately did not find them, staying here was also a dead end as no one would come to rescue them from this place.
"Ah…" Wei Datai suddenly let out a startled cry, breaking the deathly silence.
"What are you yelling for, Wei Datai? If you attract the Fierce Beasts, you’re asking to die," Han Qi was clearly dissatisfied with Wei Datai’s sudden shout.
Wei Datai’s voice trembled, "No, someone is coming, no, a fighter jet is coming over, it looks like the Security Department’s CY03…"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Han Qi grabbed the binoculars from Wei Datai’s hands.
A shocking scene unfolded before her eyes.
A CY03 fighter jet charged directly at the swarm of Fierce Beasts, which, upon seeing the fighter, also swarmed towards it.

The fighter jet immediately shut down its engines, and then a man with a large bag jumped down from the jet.
The cabin door began to close only after he had jumped down.
This was definitely someone with an extremely rich combat experience; he didn’t shut down the engines right away, which might have damaged the aircraft.
"How come only one person came down?" Wei Datai, who had found another pair of binoculars, asked in confusion.
"I know who he is," Han Qi’s voice suddenly picked up in excitement as she saw Ding Huan’s actions.
As soon as Ding Huan jumped from the plane, crowds of Fierce Beasts surged towards him. Ding Huan immediately created rows of Wind Blade Walls.
Under the assault of Ding Huan’s Wind Blade Walls, the Fierce Beasts fell in rows.
But no matter how powerful the Wind Blade Skill was, it couldn’t stop the endless stream of Genetic Beasts that recklessly charged at him.
Ding Huan knew that if he wished, he could continue to fight for a whole day.
But what about after a day?
A single day was definitely not enough to kill all the Fierce Beasts here, not even one percent.
There were openly hundreds of thousands of Fierce Beasts on this airfield, not to mention those in the nearby jungle and mountain ranges. If they all came out, what use would his efforts be?
Since he couldn’t kill them all, Ding Huan couldn’t be bothered to keep slaying. He used his Wind Control Skill and simply stepped over the bodies of the Fierce Beasts, arriving at the edge of the airport in the blink of an eye.
The fact that so many Fierce Beasts were still here made Ding Huan realize he had come here a bit too hastily.
He should have developed a Genetic Poison Fog that could instantly kill Genetic Beasts and brought a hundred pounds of it with him, along with a sprayer.
When these Fierce Beasts pounced, a spray of his Genetic Poison Fog would kill countless Genetic Beasts.
But the research on this was not a matter of a day or two’s time, and he couldn’t wait.
After he returned, he would definitely develop this gene, absolutely refusing to remain in such a passive position.
As Ding Huan left, the Fierce Beasts immediately began to tear into those killed by him.
Despite the Fierce Beasts here being restrained by their leader’s commands and rarely attacking each other, the dead Genetic Beasts did not delay their scramble to feed.
…
"That must be a disciple of Master Ding Huan, look at his Wind Blade Skill, huh…" Before Wei Datai could finish his sentence, he let out a curious sound.
Ding Huan’s method of killing Fierce Beasts was practically that of a one-man army.
What astonished him was Ding Huan’s technique of flying through the air. With just a light step on the back of a Fierce Beast, Ding Huan could leap tens of meters away—it was practically flying.
Han Qi shook his head, "He’s probably not a disciple of Ding Huan, it’s very likely that Ding Huan himself has come. With issues arising here, he must be worried about his disciples, so he’s come to search for them."
"Then we should hurry and search for Master Ding Huan!" Wei Datai became excited.
Han Qi gave Wei Datai a disdainful look, "Are you an idiot? With so many Fierce Beasts here, are we going out to court death? I’m certain that once you go out, Ding Huan won’t even know of your existence before you are divided up by the Fierce Beasts.
Besides, even if you found Ding Huan, could he take you out of here?"
Wei Datai calmed down, Han Qi was right. Even if he found Ding Huan, so what?
At this moment, Ding Huan had already arrived atop the steel city wall of the human corridor’s defense line.
The steel wall had long been stained black with blood, and bones were scattered everywhere. Tattered clothes and scattered firearms were all too common.
The cannons, gun muzzles, and laser weapon towers in the middle of the wall...
All were a chaotic mess from repeated impacts.
Dozens of Fierce Beasts pounced towards Ding Huan, who raised his hand and sent a series of Wind Blades their way before charging into the command center.
Inside the command center, stained brown with blood, although all the corpses had been gnawed on by the Fierce Beasts, Ding Huan could still sense the previous ferocity of battle.
This brought a hint of worry to Ding Huan’s eyes; he didn’t know if Qu Yi had managed to evacuate.
Continuing the search was pointless; it was impossible for anyone to have survived here.
Just as Ding Huan was about to leave the hall, he felt a chilling sensation at the back of his heart. Without thinking, he threw himself to the ground and rolled away.
"Boom!" A terrifying force slashed diagonally from where he had just stood and hit the ground.
Crack! Bricks and stones flew, and a deep trench was gouged into the ground, even piercing through the steel reinforcements below.
Ding Huan was inwardly shocked. If that hit had landed on him, would he have had any chance at life?
Before Ding Huan could get up, that fearful breath of death swept towards him again.
Through his Divine Will, Ding Huan could clearly see that he was being attacked by a giant ape, which was wielding an iron hammer that was a full ten meters in length.
Definitely a Level 9 Fierce Beast—Ding Huan dared not stay a moment longer.
In an open area, he could rely on his agility to have a chance at killing the giant ape, but in this hall, waiting only meant death.
Had he not learned from the Great Wilderness Golden Ape that the leader of this global beast tide was a Demon Dragon, he might have suspected this giant ape was the leader.
Ding Huan threw a dozen Wind Blades behind him and then turned into a shadow as he rushed out of the command center.
Seeing Ding Huan escape, the giant ape roared in anger.
Not good, this beast is calling for help.
Ding Huan was truly speechless. Here he was already unable to defeat the giant ape, and this creature was still calling for help—this was completely devoid of martial virtues!
Knowing well that the beast had no sense of martial virtues, there was nothing Ding Huan could do about it.
Surely enough, as soon as he burst onto the city wall, a seemingly endless horde of Fierce Beasts came rushing towards him.
At this moment, Ding Huan knew he only had one choice: to leap off the wall and flee towards the underwater Great Dao.
Facing such a terrifying beast tide, if he dared to step across these Fierce Beasts, it would be a death wish.
Previously, there was no leading beast, so he could freely slaughter the Fierce Beasts with Wind Blades and step on their bodies to get to the top of the wall.
Now, with the leading Beast King emerging, if he continued to do so, under the Beast King’s command, these Fierce Beasts would become frenzied, and then he’d be engulfed within the swarm.
Ding Huan was resolute. Once he realized the severity of the situation, he didn’t hesitate to jump off the wall and dashed towards the underwater Great Dao.
Before the human corridor defense line was breached, the underwater Great Dao was packed with various Genetic Beasts.
Now that the human corridor defense line had been broken through, there were not as many Fierce Beasts on the underwater Great Dao, but still a countless number.
Ding Huan, with his extensive experience in escaping, knew that despite the current scarcity of Fierce Beasts on the underwater Great Dao, it was not a place he could go to.
If the Great Wilderness Golden Ape hadn’t lied to him, the giant ape that fought him was not the Beast King here; the real Beast King was the Demon Dragon.
As for why the Demon Dragon hadn’t emerged, Ding Huan speculated that it might be injured or perhaps staying in the lair to cultivate.
In either case, if he crossed the underwater Great Dao, he would inevitably come face to face with it.
As soon as Ding Huan landed, he swiftly sliced a large tree with a Wind Blade. Before the tree could fall, he sliced twice again with Wind Blades, decisively removing a three-meter section of the trunk.
This brief delay was all it took for the giant ape to charge over.
