Zombie Sister Strategy-Chapter 1353: Amazing Appetite

She spent a short while observing the residue left behind by the monster and hopped onto a tree to sense its current movement. Soon, she figured out why the monster didn't drag its first prey back to its nest.

It was because the monster was still hunting.

"Roar…" Boom! Boom! Along with the thunderous roar and the shaking of the earth, another level-eight underground beast was dragged out of its nest by the monster. Two different types of energy conflicted against each other, only for a very short time though.

Lin Qiao leaped high and flew toward that area. Her invisible body flew across the woods, quickly approaching the level-nine monster. She didn't witness the battle, but based on the changes of the two vibes, she figured that the level-eight creature was killed by the level-nine one within three moves.

She saw the familiar bloody scene as she got close enough. The enormous monster had a creature much smaller than itself pressed under its paw, and it was tearing the creature with its teeth.

Finally, Lin Qiao had her eyes on that monster. It was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters tall, looking like a gigantic, prehistoric creature. Nothing like it was ever seen on the earth's surface. How come the underground creatures were all so huge? The higher the level, the larger the size.

But thankfully, it didn't have the same ugly mushroom-like comb on its head as the big fish from earlier.

The monster looked mighty. It had four strong limbs, with thorns on the joints, and a pair of short and thick horns on its head. A line of long and sharp thorns pointing at the sky extended from the back of its head to its tail.

Near the outer corners of the monster's huge eyes were two curve thorns on each side, looking a little like eyelashes. The creature had a large, pointing mouth that could open widely. Its sharp teeth were now covered in blood and dirt.

That was how wild beasts fed. The scene like that was commonly seen in the post-apocalyptic era. But, as the monster was tremendous, the scene now was actually a little terrifying.

Lin Qiao sneakily approached the monster and clearly watched it chew and swallow the prey, which was half its own size, within a short span of time. After finishing the level-eight beast, the monster stood up and raised a paw to lick it. Then, it leaped into the air and disappeared within a blink.

Watching the creature vanish, Lin Qiao furrowed her brows and then turned to another direction with a look of confusion on her face. She could sense the monster's movements. It wasn't going back to its nest but heading to another area.

'It's not satisfied yet!' Lin Qiao thought, 'It's gonna catch more!' No one targeted by the monster could ever survive. The monster caught them as easily as catching domestic animals in its backyard.

Lin Qiao followed the giant monster and watched it seize a series of underground creatures one after another, eating them right on the spot. She counted the preys to figure out exactly how great the creature's appetite was and how many beasts it would eat for a meal. The monster stopped eating when it caught the thirteenth prey.

It bit the last prey to death like it did to the last twelve ones. But, instead of eating the beast, the monster held it in its mouth and leaped into the sky, flying toward its nest.

This time, it flew much more slowly than before. Before, it could vanish within a blink of an eye. But now, it was flying unhurriedly, as if taking an after-meal walk.

It had a dozen level-eight creatures for one single meal. What a scarily great appetite! It would starve to death if it went to the earth's surface, wouldn't it? On the earth's surface, level-eight creatures were too rare to fulfill its appetite.

Lin Qiao followed the level-nine creature to its nest and watched it lay down in the pit, slowly chewing the last prey. Since it had eaten so many level-eight creatures in a row, Lin Qiao wondered how often it went out hunting. If it hunted frequently, it would probably run out of food very soon.

All the underground creatures that had gone up to the earth's surface seemed so starved. Did the level-nine creature send them out of the underground world because there was too little for them to eat down here to allow them to upgrade quickly enough to feed the monster?

The rich resources on the earth's surface would allow those creatures to grow and upgrade rapidly. So, when the monster ate up all the creatures left underground and decided to go up, the ones on the earth's surface should have grown large enough to fulfill its stomach.

The level-nine underground monster enjoying the food in its nest did not know that an intruder was right near it.

Lin Qiao guessed that the monster sent the lower-leveled underground creatures to the earth's surface to allow them to grow faster. So, it could go out in a while and find a rich source of food.

…

As Lin Qiao was observing the monster, Wei Haichao in Huaxia Base received the news about the failure of the most recent mission, reading the report with a sullen face. He wasn't expecting that mission to fail. He had even sent out a man with invisibility! How could he possibly fail the job? How on earth did All Beings Base people discover him?

Reading the report, he realized that Si Kongchen would probably scold him again.

Wei Haichao sighed as he stood up and brought the report out of his office, heading toward Si Kongchen's office.

Si Kongchen was reading files in his office. Feeling Wei Haichao come in, he raised his head to give the man a glance before lowering his head to keep reading, "Has the mission failed again?"

"How did you now? Can you tell?" Wei Haichao stood before him and asked with surprise. He guessed that Si Kongchen figured it out by reading the look on his face.

He handed the report to Si Kongchen as he sat down on the chair before the desk, "I just don't understand why the All Beings Base is so difficult. Do they happen to have someone with a super sharp nose in their team to spot our man this time?"

Si Kongchen dropped the files in his hand and took over the report before browsing it. Then, he threw it on the desk and said, "I guess there is no way into that base. Have you found anyone who can help us from inside their base?"

Wei Haichao shook his head, "The people in that base hardly come out. The ones who did come out have been tailed by some other people from the base. It's hard for us to approach them."

"Tell our people to try every way they can think of, as soon as possible," said Si Kongchen expressionlessly, "We don't have much time left."

Wei Haichao immediately raised his head and asked, "Why? Are we going into action soon?"
