Xiao Chen pressed his hand on the male mage's forehead without hesitation, while Liu Yisheng sent out a few star rays that sank into the heads of the remaining people. As the vitality of these people was cut off, the green light bands on their bodies disappeared.
Liu Yisheng said: "This is the Divine City gathering strength. I'm afraid something will happen soon."
Xiao Chen took a look at the corpses on the ground and said decisively: "Clean up the battlefield first, and then go back to the city."
Luo Ling and Mao Kai had already dealt with the saints coming from the siege position and returned to Xiao Chen. She said, "If what Dominic and the male wizard just said is true, the disaster that will affect the entire continent may occur in various places on the continent at the same time. We should remind all cities to be careful and prevent abnormal situations."
"Yes, let them activate the shield as soon as possible." Xiao Chen said: "Not only that, we also need to remind other forces that no matter what their relationship with us is, in the face of a disaster that will affect the entire continent, the lives of all living beings are the first priority."
"Leave it to me. I will go into the city right away to negotiate with other forces." Luo Ling took the initiative.
"good."
Everyone retreated back to the city. Xiao Chen divided the uninjured saints into several groups and asked them to be ready for battle or disaster relief at any time. At the same time, he asked Wang Jiyuan to notify the guards in various places to make the same preparations. He himself came to the city wall and observed the changes around him.
He finally had the chance to meet Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng now looks very different from the last time they met.
Seeing Xiao Chen's expression, Chen Hansheng said, "Xiao Chen, I'm fine now. I haven't been this good in the past few days. Thank you and everyone else for taking down Shencheng. This has removed a thorn in my heart."
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder and said nothing more. Chen Hansheng's strong shoulders could withstand anything. All he needed was time.
"The feeling now is just like the time before an exam when I'm waiting for the papers to be handed out. It's so painful." Chen Hansheng laughed at himself, "I'm not like you good students. When I was studying, this kind of time was the most difficult to endure. Basically, it meant I would get beaten up when I got home. Only when I was really lucky could I avoid being beaten up."
"Is it because of your better performance?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No, I cheated but didn't get caught." Chen Hansheng laughed in a low voice, but it was no longer as cheerful as before. "My dad later thought that I had no hope of studying, so he forced me to join the army. Otherwise, why would I join the army at such a young age?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile. After talking to Lao Chen for a few words, he suddenly felt the pressure in his heart lighten a little.
"It would be great if we had a cheat sheet now to tell us what we can do," said Chen Hansheng.
In fact, fate has been very kind to us, Xiao Chen thought so, but did not say it out loud, because fate was not fair to Chen Hansheng.
He looked at the distant horizon, waiting for some change to come.
Suddenly, a green light burst out from the eastern sky, and then it rushed towards this side like a tide hitting the shore. The speed of the green light burst was extremely fast. It was far away in the sky just now, but now it was close at hand. The green light always had a strong divine power attribute, which affected the surrounding magic power and made them restless.
Xiao Chen felt his heart beating uncontrollably. He could sense that this was the so-called divine punishment, or the great terror. He just didn't know what this green light would bring.
The green tide swept across Arano, but most of the energy was blocked by the city shield. The shield flashed with dense light, as if countless electric currents were passing through the outer periphery of the shield. Only a few bits of power seeped into the city like a drizzle.
"It's a very powerful divine power. In fact, it's even more powerful than the God of Nature that I've seen. This should be the divine power that has been accumulated in the City of Gods for many years." Liu Yisheng suddenly appeared beside Xiao Chen, and with him came Mei Tiantian. He looked up into the sky and said, "But it's very strange, this seems to be a divine power related to life, not a destructive force."
"That is a force that changes life forms," Umeda said.
Mei Tiantian stretched out her hand and grabbed into the air. Several points of green energy gathered in her hands. She pinched them into a ball of light and flicked her fingers towards several ants crawling on the city wall. Those ants suddenly stopped. Most of the ants quickly shrank into a ball, as if they were roasted dry. However, one ant seemed to have absorbed the vitality of the surrounding ants. Its size suddenly increased, and many sharp organs appeared on its head and feet. It rushed towards Mei Tiantian aggressively.
"The power of life may be more terrifying than destruction." Xiao Chen frowned, stretched out his hand and conjured a bubble around the ant, encircling it and pulling it in front of him for observation. He used magic power to form a stick to touch the mutant ant, and the ant used its huge mouth from mutation to chase and bite the stick, in a very crazy state.
Xiao Chen said: "The general structure of the body remains the same, but the strength, speed, and toughness have greatly increased. It's like a cat turning into a tiger. More importantly, its habits have changed, and it looks very ferocious. This green light will allow certain life forms to absorb the power of their own kind, and then mutate into a more aggressive variant."
"This is going to be a big trouble." He looked outside the shield. After the green tide swept through the mountains and forests, the mountains and trees were covered with a faint glow of divine power.
"What are you worried about happening?" asked Umeda.
Xiao Chen said: "The situation is terrible. What if a large number of natural lives are affected by this? Think about how many animals and insects there are in the mountains outside? What will the outside world become? This is a biochemical crisis!"
Umeda suddenly came to her senses and covered her mouth in surprise.
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, he heard a strange sound coming from the mountains outside. It seemed to be the creaking sound of wood being stretched tight, and there were also a lot of roars of wild animals coming from all directions.
"Oh my God, look at those trees!" said Umeda, pointing to the forest outside the city.
The trees in the mountains suddenly underwent strange changes. The tallest trees began to grow rapidly, becoming taller and thicker, but with fewer branches and leaves, while the trees around them began to wither. Just like ants, the energy gathered towards the strong. The branches of the big trees began to take on human shapes, struggling to leave the ground.
"The trees have been revived and transformed into tree warriors." Xiao Chen quickly turned around and said to a communications officer nearby, "Quick, tell Luo Ling to notify all cities to prepare for defense against mutant creatures, including tree men and various mutant animals. We must also prevent humans from mutating! All territories of the Tower of China have entered the highest state of emergency!"
