Chapter 181 The Magical Girl Revealed!
Her raised hand froze in mid-air. Tang Zijun slowly raised her eyes, her gaze constantly shifting across the television screen. The smile on her face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a solemn expression.
Tang Cao and Su Siyao, who were leaning back on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, the television screen switched to the scene.
The enormous monster finally appeared completely and clearly before everyone's eyes.
Its massive size was enough to occupy the entire road. It slowly raised its claws, and with a gentle swipe, easily crushed a small car.
The crocodile lizard exuded an aura of extreme brutality. Every time its thick limbs stomped on the ground, the ground would tremble. Its massive tail swayed wildly, leaving the entire street in a mess.
Qin Nan was speechless at this moment. She turned her head and looked at Tang Zijun beside her.
Tang Zijun, on the other hand, frowned deeply, her face extremely serious.
There's no mistake, this thing is a mythical beast.
Ever since his rampage in the Tree Crown Royal City, Tang Zijun has become extremely sensitive to the aura of strange beasts. Even through the mirror, he can clearly identify the creature's identity.
However, this size is still a bit...
Tang Zijun narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
The Tree Crown Royal City has been completely destroyed. Even if there are still some alien beasts that I haven't killed, they should have been annihilated by the spatial turbulence.
Chang Lei had been keeping a close eye on the situation near Huailing. If anything happened, he would definitely notify me. Moreover, this strange beast, the Crocodile Lizard, was clearly a product enhanced by the Tree of Life. It was not afraid of sunlight and could appear at sunset. This kind of beast could probably only be created by Sir Skull.
Just as Tang Zijun was pondering, a cell phone ringtone suddenly broke the silence in the living room.
Tang Zijun looked down and saw that it was indeed Master Qingnang.
"Uh, I need to take this call."
Tang Zijun turned and exchanged a glance with Qin Nan, then said something to Tang Cao and the other person, got up, grabbed her phone, and walked towards the bedroom.
As soon as the sound of Tang Zijun's bedroom door closing rang out, the entire living room erupted in chaos.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things?!"
Su Siyao opened her mouth wide, her finger trembling as she pointed at the TV screen.
"This...this can't be special effects, right? Those monsters, those monsters just stormed into the city like that!?"
Although Tang Cao was also surprised, she managed to control her emotions well. "Sister Nan, look..."
"It's unlikely they've stormed the city. This guy probably crawled out from a gap in the underworld..." Qin Nan's face darkened. "...It's the work of Sir Skeleton."
"Sir Skeleton?!"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, and Su Siyao asked nervously.
"But isn't he already dead?"
"It's true that he's dead, but Willow City and Snow City are both his territory. He couldn't possibly send all his beast army to the battlefield of Tree Crown Royal City. I'm afraid this is Sir Skeleton's backup plan."
"The second move."
"The problem now is, if we let this monster continue to wreak havoc in the city..."
Before he could finish speaking, the television screen showed unusual activity.
In the aerial view captured by the drone, a huge fireball suddenly appeared, like a meteor coming from high in the sky.
The moment the camera captured the ball of fire, it slammed into the head of the crocodile lizard with terrifying force.
The immense impact caused the crocodile lizard to sway slightly, but it quickly regained its balance, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.
And it was at this moment that flames swept out, surging outwards like ocean waves. Amidst the scorching heat, a girl dressed in a gorgeous red dress appeared in the middle of the road.

"...It's here! It's appeared!"
Su Siyao exclaimed in surprise.
The next moment, the TV screen suddenly started to have a poor signal and went black within a few breaths, and the entire news was abruptly cut off.
"...Talk? What's going on? We haven't finished watching yet!"
"The magical girl's magic can affect electronic surveillance equipment, including cameras. It's likely that the cameras lost their signal due to the magic."
Qin Nan offered an explanation, then sat back down in his chair with a serious expression.
"This is troublesome."
Seeing Qin Nan's reaction, Tang Cao and Su Siyao's expressions also turned sour.
There's a reason why the secret of magical girls can't be revealed. Based on the painful lessons of their predecessors, once it's exposed...
That could very likely cause huge chaos, or even harm them themselves.
Of the three people present, Tangcao was probably the most nervous.
As a newbie who had only been a magical girl for a little over a month, she was completely unprepared, and this sudden chaos caught her completely off guard.
Meanwhile, the other magical girls weren't faring much better; the same thing was happening all over the country (this time, it was a much bigger problem).
On the phone, Tan Zhixin's voice lacked its usual gentle elegance, instead carrying a hint of panic.
"I saw it."
"Logically, all the alien beasts that participated in the battle died in the secret realm. This thing should have been a backup plan that Sir Skull kept in the inner world, but I don't know why it was released."
While Tang Zijun was speaking, you could hear the phone ringing in the background from Tan Zhixin's side. I bet the other magical girls were getting restless too.
With a sigh, Tang Zijun continued.
"The problem now is that we can't determine how many other alien beasts like these, which are not afraid of sunlight, still exist in the Otherworld. Even if I have the ability to pull them into the Reverse World, based on that video footage just now, it's probably too late."
(I understand.)
Tan Zhixin took a deep breath and shook her head slightly.
(I know that as technology advances, the space where magical girls can hide will become smaller and smaller, and I also know that one day the existence of magical girls will be completely exposed. I just didn't expect that day to come so soon...)
Who would have thought?
Tang Zijun adjusted her glasses.
"Here's what we'll do. Tell everyone else to behave themselves for a while. Try to prevent any magical girls you can contact from fighting in the street. I'll think of something."
"Let's wait and see how the public opinion develops. With something this big happening, there are people who are having a much bigger headache than us. Before we can determine the general public's attitude towards magical girls, it's better to proceed with caution."
(That's what I think too, but those sisters who can't be contacted, especially solo travelers, would probably be terrified if something like this happened.)
(And what I'm most worried about right now isn't anything else, but the heretical demons. Such a huge fluctuation of negative energy could cause a massive breach if we're not careful. At that point... :)
"If they dare to reach out to us at that point, I wouldn't mind having a good 'talk' with them."
Before Tan Zhixin could finish speaking, Tang Zijun calmly spoke up.
Hearing Tang Zijun's calm and gentle words, Tan Zhixin's slightly flustered emotions gradually calmed down.
Yes, magical girls these days aren't fighting alone.
With the Wolf Rider, a dimensional lord, in charge, and especially since it had been less than a week since the fall of the Tree Crown Royal City, almost all factions knew about the Greedy Ones' powerful return, and the first thing they did was target the high-ranking members of the Outer Demons.
Under these circumstances, anyone with a modicum of common sense would not dare to act rashly.
After a brief chat, Tang Zijun hung up the phone.
As the liaison for the magical girls, she was much busier than herself in this situation. In addition to comforting the other magical girls, she also had to convey the specific details to everyone.
The only pity is that Tan Zhixin's intelligence network does not cover all magical girls. Currently, a considerable number of magical girls are still wandering around the country.
It's likely that some magical girls still thought they were the only magical girl in the world until this moment. I wonder what they were thinking at this time.
Putting her thoughts aside, Tang Zijun walked to the fish tank and gently waved her hand. The next moment, the street from the news appeared in the reflection of the fish tank.
Although magic can affect electronic monitoring equipment, it cannot affect the reflection in a mirror. Tang Zijun can use the reflection from the mirrors on the street to clearly see the details of the battlefield.
The battle had reached a fever pitch, and many relevant personnel had arrived at the scene. However, they were also surprised to see a young girl fighting against a huge monster.
Under these circumstances, they did not take action, but instead set up a cordon at a distance and sent people to begin searching for residents in the surrounding buildings.
"Mystic Art: Ignition Point!"
The girl lightly bumped her fists together, and sparks flew from the knuckle dusters in her hands.
Immediately afterwards, she threw a powerful punch, a thick, fiery fist shooting straight at the crocodile lizard and striking its body head-on.
"Oh, so you're a Si Chen..." Tang Zijun's lips twitched.
When facing a large monster, the biggest advantage is that you don't need to aim precisely. As long as the general direction is correct, you will definitely hit the opponent.
The crocodile lizard, in pain, roared furiously and swung its tail at the magical girl.
But the magical girl remained calm. She leaped high into the air, spun once, and easily dodged the powerful attack.
boom!
Just then, a gunshot rang out.
The head of the crocodile lizard exploded open, splattering blood everywhere and releasing a nauseating stench.
However, the flesh quickly began to heal and grew back in just a few seconds.
The girl glanced at the source of the gunshot out of the corner of her eye and saw a sniper on a distant high-rise building, intently aiming at the head of the crocodile lizard, ready to fire another shot at any moment.
Seeing this, the girl's lips curled up slightly, and with a forceful wave of her hands, two balls of flame instantly wrapped around her arms.
With a soft shout, the girl charged suddenly towards the crocodile lizard.
