The argument continued, and perhaps they were just trying to bolster their courage with this violent behavior, but our Grim Reaper was not about to watch a few clowns showing off in front of him.

Its blue scales gleamed with an eerie light, and hundreds of scales on its back stood upright like arrows ready to be released. At this moment, the Caesar lizard finally revealed its ferocious side.

With a low growl, the Caesar lizard unleashed hundreds of scales that shot out with immense kinetic energy, piercing through the arguing team members before they could even react.

The enforcement team leader, Xiong Ming, who was hanging on the Caesar lizard, did not play any role in stopping it. If he were still awake, he might have been able to do something, but unfortunately, he had already fainted and was riddled with dozens of scales. It was basically impossible for him to survive.

One team member clutched his heart, his eyes unfocused. Unfortunately, he too became one of the victims of this battle.

"How could this be?"

He is still young, he still has dreams, he still...

Finally, he collapsed in despair.

Faced with death, some weep loudly, some face it calmly, but most feel unwilling to die like this.

"Am I... going to die?"

A slightly young face came into view. Just now, he was still clinging tightly to the Caesar lizard, allowing the captain to take the opportunity to hit it with a stick. At that time, he did not know that what he was holding was not a monster, but a complete Grim Reaper.

Perhaps the Caesar lizard still remembered him, because there seemed to be more scales flying towards him, directly creating several holes in his body, from which blood continuously seeped out.

"Ahem..."

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, mixed with broken internal organs.

"Could this be considered sacrificing myself for my country?" he thought, then smiled. In such a chaotic era, what concept of national identity is there anymore?

However, no one can deny that he died protecting the residents of Shimizu City. Perhaps people will erect a monument to commemorate him after his death, but he will be forgotten in no time.

This is probably the fate of these law enforcement officers. Even though he was prepared to sacrifice himself the day he joined the law enforcement team, who would choose death if they could live?

There is great terror between life and death. At this moment, he understood a lot and his state of mind was elevated. If he could survive this crisis, advancing to the third-level cultivator no longer seemed as unattainable as before.

On the other hand, Wu Song was quite lucky. He was only pierced through the thigh by a single scale. His leg bone was probably broken and he probably wouldn't be able to use it anymore. But as long as he could survive, what did this little injury matter?

Compared to the guy who was less than half a meter away from him and whose head was blown off, his luck was off the charts.

Most of the dozens of team members on the field were killed or wounded after the clearing operation. Those who were still alive were either barely alive, lying on the ground groaning helplessly, or like Wu Song, they had lost the ability to escape.

The Caesar monitor lizard looked down at everyone, its aloof attitude as if it were looking at its prey.

At this point, it was already considering whether to massacre the city. When it first came in, it had only kept itself hidden out of caution. If these humans hadn't angered it, it wouldn't have chosen to kill everyone to vent its anger.

But it's too late to say anything now. It has already slaughtered so many humans. The strong people in this city will definitely not let it go. It just doesn't know how strong they are. If they are all as weak as these chickens in front of it, then it has nothing to fear and can just charge straight through.

As a member of the royal family in the Wutong Forest, it has full confidence in its strength. It can say without hesitation that there are basically no monsters below the fourth rank that can defeat it in the Wutong Forest. This is the source of its confidence.

Perhaps some powerful humans will arrive soon, and it needs to leave as soon as possible. But before it leaves, it has one more thing to do: kill all the humans who dare to offend its authority.

If placed in the Wutong Forest, absolutely no monster would dare to offend the majesty of a Caesar Giant Lizard. However, upon arriving here, it was provoked right from the start.

It's all that damned bird's fault. If it hadn't seized the territory of the Caesar Lizard clan and killed their king, how could the noble forest royalty have fallen to this state?

The thought of the strange bird that had stolen their territory filled the Caesar monitor with a torrent of resentment, which it chose to vent on the humans who had provoked it.

Approaching a terrified team member, the Caesar lizard bit through his neck in the man's utterly horrified gaze.

"Do not--"

The man screamed in agony. The Caesar lizard couldn't understand what he meant, but it could tell from his behavior and struggle that he was unwilling to accept defeat.

It loved this feeling; it reminded it of the days when it lived as the king of the forest, when the entire forest was their territory and all the monsters in it could only become their food.

Seeing the Caesar lizard approaching them step by step, many of the team members who were lying on the ground groaning broke down. Even they, as strong as they were, could not bear the despair of watching death getting closer and closer.

Wu Song clenched his fists, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart. He had previously asked Xiong Ming if he needed greater strength to better uphold justice, and Xiong Ming had told him that only unwavering faith would suffice.

Looking back now, it's truly laughable. Without even the most basic capabilities, how could they possibly stop others from committing crimes? Were they supposed to rely on empty words?

There might be a slight chance against those criminals, but if we encounter monsters, well, we're doomed. We can't even communicate with them.

He had never craved power as much as he did now. If he had enough power, Captain Xiong Ming wouldn't have died. If he had enough power, everyone could still be drinking and chatting together as usual.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground and the figure in the arena that resembled a demon from the abyss, Wu Song's thirst for power rose to a new level once again.

Only a handful of people remained alive in the arena. The Caesar lizard continued to enjoy its slaughter. Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks, and the two arms around its neck tightened their grip. Xiong Ming had opened his eyes without anyone noticing.

"Go..."

Dragging his dying body, he managed to utter only two words with all his might.

The Caesar lizard shook its head angrily, unleashing another barrage of scales from its back, completely exhausting Xiong Ming's last remaining life force.

Upon seeing this scene, the eyes of the few survivors turned bloodshot.

Just then, a sigh rang out.

"Too late...?"
