Chapter 335: Liu Limin
Chapter 335: Liu Limin
Gong Da, Liu Hanhua, and another patrol officer heard the content on their respective communication watches and were momentarily stunned. The deputy director's order was somewhat unexpected.
However, they didn't overthink it. Obedience to superior orders was their duty, and without hesitation, they immediately withdrew from the confrontation.
"Get out of here!" As Liu Hanhua retreated from the battlefield, he shouted towards a certain position in mid-air.
"Hmm." In mid-air, at a certain location, Li Qian nodded and also retreated. In fact, even without Liu Hanhua's reminder, he was already prepared to withdraw.
From his vantage point, he had already seen the giant figures of the rock giants shrouded in dust, leaving no doubt that they were heading straight for their location.
At this moment, not avoiding them would mean being crushed into powder.
They were undoubtedly rushing towards the dark red rocks.
The people in that convoy were most likely the same group who had descended into the underground cavern to steal the dark red rocks—the same group they had encountered outside the Blackstone Forest.
As Li Qian retreated, he couldn't help but smile faintly, understanding the cause and effect of the situation.
Seeing this, he knew that the upcoming events would be enough to give them a good scare.
Three patrol officers retreated, including the one who had been secretly attacking them from the shadows. A tattooed man with muscular arms emerged from one of the off-road vehicles, his face filled with confusion.
When he saw the dark red rocks, no longer concealed by the formation, and felt the slightly trembling ground, he immediately realized something was wrong and shouted, "Not good! Retreat!"
The tattooed man was decisive. Upon realizing the impending disaster, he quickly made a decision.
To steal the dark red rocks from the underground cavern, they had already paid a significant price.
Several of their men had already fallen.
Now, as they were about to succeed and receive their well-deserved rewards, they never expected to fail at the last moment.
Feeling bitter, painful, and helpless, he had no choice but to order his men to retreat.
He realized that something had gone wrong. If they didn't leave now, being caught by the frenzied rock giants would undoubtedly lead to a tragic end.
They were merely hired to do a job, and risking their lives was unnecessary.
With the convoy destroyed, a group of about ten people ran for their lives without hesitation.
The convoy, consisting of about ten people, heard the tattooed man's warning, but due to the sudden turn of events, some of them were still in a daze.
Once they snapped out of it, they followed suit and ran, but the last one, a skinny young man, was a step too late.
A loud bang echoed as a massive rock fell from the sky.
"Old Four!" The tattooed man turned and shouted a warning upon seeing this.
However, the rock descended too quickly. Old Four, despite reacting, couldn't dodge in time.
Boom!
The giant rock landed directly on Old Four, crushing him.
"Damn it!" The tattooed man cursed and continued to shout, "Run!"
He couldn't afford to stay any longer; more lives were at stake.
As for the dark red rocks, they had already given up on them, leaving them behind.
From a distance, Li Qian, riding on Seven Sons, hid behind a building. Witnessing the scene, he couldn't help but mutter, "Tsk tsk tsk, that's brutal. Good thing I hid my figure when I intervened earlier."
He glanced at the three patrol officers not far away and smiled, "Otherwise, if they take note of us, it'll be troublesome. With this, they should direct their grudge towards the Law Enforcement Bureau."
Li Qian remained silent and motionedless.
The group of Rock Giants, including the Rock Swordmasters and Rock Monsters, came and left swiftly.
Within just ten minutes, they had taken the dark red rock and departed the scene.
Apparently, they were indeed after that dark red rock...
But what exactly was that dark red rock? As he pondered this, several vehicles roared and approached.
Li Qian immediately recognized them as the Law Enforcement Bureau's cars.
The first person to exit the car was a middle-aged man with a square face.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the three patrol officers who had remained on site immediately saluted, "Director Lou."
"Director Lou."
"..."
Director Lou nodded at the three patrol officers who greeted him.
After nodding, his gaze directly fixed on a particular direction.
That direction was precisely where the group of Rock Giants had retreated.
A middle-aged patrol officer, seemingly around the same age as Director Lou, asked, "Director Lou, what should we do now?"
After asking, he added a reminder, "That Mutated Crimson Starstone should be extremely valuable."
Director Lou nodded upon hearing this, but his face revealed a bitter expression, "Seeing how these Rock Giants went crazy over it, we know it's definitely valuable. However, we don't have the capability to covet it."
The middle-aged patrol officer who had just spoken to him nodded in agreement with Director Lou's perspective, "Yes, maintaining stability is the most important thing right now."
Just as the two were conversing, not far away, Li Qian, who had been quietly observing from the ground, experienced a slight change in his expression.
Because at the moment he heard the words "Mutated Crimson Starstone," an electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Inspiration +2, Current Task Progress 92%]
Hearing the electronic prompt in his mind, Li Qian couldn't help but mutter, "The Mutated Crimson Starstone?"
Apparently, this Mutated Crimson Starstone was an indispensable condition for the evolution of Rock Monsters and even Rock Swordmasters.
However, judging by its rarity, acquiring it would likely be challenging.
Fortunately, Li Qian's task was merely to research the evolution method of Rock Monsters, not to evolve a large number of Rock Giants, so it didn't affect him much.
Moreover, he was also considering whether there were alternative solutions.
After all, while Rock Giants were relatively rare among human Beast Tamers, they did exist. How did they evolve? Perhaps there was another evolutionary path...
No, given the current situation, there must be an alternative evolution method! As Li Qian contemplated, Director Lou and several patrol officers continued their conversation, "Director Lou, is there still a need to blockade Zhenxi Town?"
Director Lou thought for a moment and then spoke, making a decision, "The situation is still unclear, and we don't know if there are still members of the Rustics in the town. So, let's lift the blockade tomorrow morning. Tonight, we'll patrol and be prepared for any unexpected situations."
