God Level Farmer In Another World

Chapter 172: The Arrogant Blackbeard

In the off-road vehicle of the Security Division sat James and Alexander.

James had only been circling outside Changbai Mountain for half an hour when Alexander noticed something unusual about him. Despite James's attempts to remain tight-lipped, under Alexander's pressure, he spilled the truth.

Alexander immediately prepared to head back to Baishan City but unexpectedly encountered a vehicle from the Security Bureau. At this moment, the appearance of an extraordinary-looking vehicle immediately aroused Alexander's suspicion.

It wasn't the same as casually spotting a car on the street. The feeling was akin to picking up a beautiful seashell on the beach, only for the shell to transform into a maiden who speaks fluent foreign languages: "Hello, honey. Annyeonghaseyo. Yamete!"

Unusual circumstances always hide something strange.

After weighing his options, Alexander called Jack and instructed him to head to Baishan City immediately and be on standby. If the situation turned critical, Jack was to ensure the safety of the Ruffelo family father and son.

At the Changbai Mountain Tianchi volcano, four Security Bureau operatives were walking under the cover of night, each carrying a box. The surroundings were desolate, with chaotic starlight above.

One of the operatives suddenly spoke, "It's so quiet here. Why can't we even hear insects?"

They were all top-tier Awakened individuals, each holding a sequence level. The sequence level was the Security Bureau's classification system, determined by factors such as spiritual power, rank, and overall ability. To possess a sequence level indicated strong spiritual power and rank.

For instance, the bald-headed team captain had five segments of spiritual power, a B-tier talent, and a sequence level of 2. The other team members were sequence level 1. The Security Division director of Baishan City, Carl Ruffelo, possessed four segments of spiritual power, a B-tier talent, and numerous latent injuries. In the bureau's records, he was a sequence level 1.

In the Raven Squad of the Security Bureau, one member was sequence level 2, while the other three were sequence level 1. This configuration was deemed sufficient to oversee Baishan City.

Another operative remarked, "Could there be a powerful beast here? Otherwise, even in winter, it shouldn't be this unnaturally quiet."

With their heightened spiritual sensitivity, even the faintest sound of hibernating snakes and insects shouldn't escape their ears.

After a moment of thought, the bald-headed captain spoke, "This might be a gathering ground for beasts, and they may have left due to an attack on the city. Now is the perfect opportunity to trigger the Changbai Mountain Tianchi volcano!"

The bald captain believed that no beast could be present unless it was of a rank far superior to his, capable of evading his spiritual probing.

One of the operatives chuckled and said, "Let's not get too paranoid. The disaster level of Changbai Mountain isn't high; there won't be any A-tier beasts here. For us, this place is quite safe. Let's finish the mission quickly. I'd like to take some photos of the volcanic eruption to show my wife."

The others agreed.

If the area were truly high-risk and housed an A-tier beast, the higher-ups wouldn't have assigned the Raven Squad to monitor Baishan City. If an A-tier beast appeared, Baishan City would have fallen long ago. How could Carl Ruffelo have held out for so many years?

The operatives began setting up devices to trigger the volcano, as well as extraordinary items. These high-tech electronic devices, paired with ancient, mystical artifacts, formed an intricate formation around the Tianchi volcano.

Once everything was in place, the four operatives formed hand seals simultaneously. In this moment, ancient techniques and modern technology combined, guided by spiritual energy. The movements of the Changbai Mountain Tianchi volcano intensified. The hot spring at the crater began to boil, releasing massive amounts of steam.

The four operatives, sweating at the temples, collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. One of them wiped his sweat and said with relief, "Finally done. This formation drains so much spiritual energy."

Another glanced at the surrounding forest and sighed, "It'll take at least fifty years for Changbai Mountain to recover. Such a shame for these ancient woods."

In just ten minutes, the eruption of the Tianchi volcano would be triggered—a man-made disaster that would annihilate all living beings within a hundred miles, humans and beasts alike.

The bald-headed captain struggled to his feet. "Let's leave. The eruption will be dangerous."

At that moment, an anomaly occurred! "Roar!!!"

From the crater of the Changbai Mountain Tianchi volcano came an ancient and resonant roar.

The sound was like a mix of a bull and a tiger.

The four operatives' eyes widened in shock, their gazes fixated on the crater of the volcano. Within the swirling mist, a massive shadow writhed and coiled in the air.

The figure was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to discern its features. All they could make out was its snake-like body and the presence of four limbs.

Its eyes glowed like red stars, its nostrils exhaled black smoke, and its jagged teeth resembled steel swords. Curved claws gleamed like golden hooks.

Its body was covered in black scales, appearing as though forged from countless pieces of steel rock. As it moved, smoke and mist encircled it.

The bald-headed captain's eyes flashed with a bright light, granting him a clear view of the creature. Its form was astonishing: a serpent's body, tiger's paws, eagle's talons, deer's antlers, rabbit's eyes, and two long whiskers extending from its mouth.

This was no ordinary beast—it was a chimera.

The bald-headed captain trembled, not for a second believing this to be a benevolent creature of myth. No, this was a monster—a terrifyingly powerful monster.

The chimera shot into the sky in an instant, circling briefly before landing on the edge of the volcano. Then, to their horror, it spoke in human language:

"Humans! I disdain lowering myself to deal with such weak ants, but your insolence knows no bounds. You dare destroy my dwelling!"

Black smoke billowed from the chimera's nostrils.

The bald-headed captain stared at the enormous chimera in terror, cold sweat dripping down his back. "What… what is this thing!"

The operatives, facing this terrifying behemoth, were consumed by fear. Who could have imagined that such a creature existed near Baishan City?

As they quaked in fear, their minds were filled with questions. How had Baishan City managed to exist under the watchful eye of such a being for so long?

The chimera, misinterpreting the bald-headed captain's exclamation as a genuine inquiry into its identity, raised its head proudly and declared, "I am one of the Seven Sins, the Beast of Pride, Blackbeard!"

"One of the Seven Sins! Disaster Level 8!"

One of the operatives let out a shrill scream, his voice brimming with despair.

If hearing the chimera's declaration wasn't enough, the mention of the Seven Sins nearly caused the four operatives to collapse in terror. Over the years, they had faced all manner of monsters. Even when encountering A-tier creatures, they had narrowly escaped with their lives.

But one of the Seven Sins? The mere utterance of the name struck them with overwhelming dread. It was one of the most terrifying entities in existence. No one knew its precise rank or spiritual power. All that was known was that it possessed abilities so broken they defied logic and seemingly infinite spiritual energy.

For a regular Security Bureau operative, encountering an A-tier monster was a near-death experience. Encountering one of the Seven Sins? That was certain death.

Only the top leaders of the Security Bureau had ever managed to retreat unscathed from one of the Seven Sins. As for the rest of them? They had no chance.

The Beast of Pride, Blackbeard, glanced at its lair, the volcano on the verge of eruption. Its bloodthirsty eyes radiated an icy malice. "Pathetic ants, I accept your challenge!"
