Chapter 294 - 294 The Approaching Beast Tide

294 The Approaching Beast Tide

Lushui County was only an ordinary administrative area. Even though it was located at the border of the White River province, it had never experienced a beast tide in its decades of history.

As such, there was no local organization like the capital’s Hunter Bureau in Lushui County.

Therefore, when the beast tide suddenly appeared, even though the military had predicted it a day in advance, they could only dispatch a few dozen experts from the Hunter Bureau to help.

The veterans from the beast-hunting bureau were all above the middle stage of the five-star rank, and they had rich experience in fighting fierce beasts.

Therefore, they remained very calm in the face of the incoming beast tide.

They could vaguely see a touch of red in the distance, and a familiar stench also drifted over with the late autumn breeze and entered everyone’s noses.

The dust and sand on the ground kept shaking, and the leaves of the surrounding trees rustled because of the shaking. The battle with the beasts was reaching its peak.

“Do it!”

Bald Eagle noticed that the monster horde was approaching, and he immediately took the Spirit Wave Sword from his waist. He gently pressed the b.u.t.ton on the hilt of the sword, and a dazzling white pulse beam instantly appeared. It made him look like a war G.o.d as he stood on the fortifications.

Many of the City Defense Army members at the back were dumbstruck as though they had been too sheltered. If it were not for the fact that the beasts were already within 100 meters, the team leaders would have asked what this G.o.d-like weapon was!

Even the Hunter Bureau’s veterans had a change of expression. But they were only stunned for a moment before they rushed out of the building and followed Bald Eagle in the beast tide’s direction.

At this time, the other City Defense Army members also moved out.

The City Defense Army in Lushui County, which was of decent strength, had already come out in full force. There were about 500 troops. In addition to the 20 intermediate five-star cultivators who had been dispatched from the capital’s Hunter Bureau, they formed a powerful team under Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf’s lead.

They charged toward the beast tide without hesitation.

In the wasteland with complex terrain, the two forces were engaged in close combat, and the shaking of the ground became increasingly intense.

When the ferocious beasts saw creatures with delicious flesh and blood, their ferocity was triggered, and their speed increased by 30%.

“Die!”

The spirit energy in Bald Eagle’s body was turbulent. His body shot out like an arrow from a bow, and he rushed into the beast tide.

Meanwhile, the laser from the Spirit Wave Sword in his hand extended to three feet long. With a wave, he directly cut three fierce beasts in front of him in half.

The beasts were either crawling or running, and their attacks, as well as moving forms, were all different. However, most of them were beasts that those from the Hunter Bureau were familiar with.

Among them, there was the Green Leopard that was famous for its speed and sharp claws. Its strength was at the middle of Rank 4.

There were also strange beasts that specialized in long-range attacks, and most of them were Rank 5 Silver Cats.

There were also jackals that were hiding underground and would rush out at the first opportunity to attack.

Most of the bloodthirsty beasts were at the middle stage of Rank 4, and only a few of them were of Rank 5.

However, the veterans from the Hunter Bureau quickly noticed that there were many huge creatures in the beast tide, as well as a few fierce behemoths that had reached Rank 6!

The rampaging beasts were like a turbulent mudslide, covering the sky and earth. The City Defense Army seemed a lot smaller before the tide.

If not for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf, the city guards would not have the courage to face these monsters.

However, even with the boost of courage, many people still got injured in the instant of close combat with the beasts.

The equipment that the city guards were wearing could not compare to the armor that the cultivators on the battlefields wore.

They could not stop the monsters’ sharp claws and teeth.

At the moment of confrontation, the fierce beasts pounced on some people. Blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.

Bald Eagle was deep in the beast tide. Relying on the Spirit Wave Sword’s powerful force, he was like a Grim Reaper. If the beasts were a little slower, they would not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded by Bald Eagle and the Lone Wolf.

Despite their Rank 5 strength, they could only avoid the attacks.

The veterans from the Hunter Bureau were also showing off their abilities.

They were very familiar with most beast attack patterns and weaknesses. Two people were often enough to take down a Rank 5 beast, and they were efficient and uninjured the entire time.

Even so, the casualty rate was gradually showing.

After all, it was impossible for Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to take care of the entire battle situation. Hence, members of their team kept dying by the claws of the beasts.

“Use the terrain of the fortifications to your advantage. Don’t fight recklessly!”

Bald Eagle frowned slightly. He flicked his wrist and used the Spirit Wave Sword to force back the Rank 5 beasts that were glaring at him. At the same time, he took the time to speak to the City Defense Army members behind him.

A few meters in front of him, there were three giant apes covered in silver scales.

The apes were covered in muscles, and their heads were covered in black fur. They had b.l.o.o.d.y mouths full of torn flesh, and their arms were unusually well-developed. Their claws were several inches long and reflected a blood-red light.

These d*mned beasts were called Scaled Apes.

Their strength was at the middle stage of Rank 5. They were extremely aggressive and agile.

If in a one-on-one battle, their strength would not be inferior to that of a peak five-star cultivator.

Moreover, these ferocious beasts moved in groups. If they were surrounded by them, these beasts could even cross realms and kill their enemies.

On large battlefields, countless cultivators had died at the hands of these beasts. They were one of the most difficult to deal with other than Rank 6 beasts.

It was precisely because of these three Scaled Apes that Bald Eagle’s chances of killing the beasts had been greatly reduced.

Not only did he have to deal with the other attacking beasts, but he also had to keep an eye on these Scaled Apes.

If he was not careful, even if he did not fail miserably, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

Bald Eagle was now being held back by the three Scaled Apes, who were deliberately keeping a distance of three meters from him.

If Bald Eagle were to clear the Scaled Apes, those guys would immediately scatter like birds and beasts. Even if it was him, it would take some effort to chase after them.

And now that he was in the middle of the beast tide, he had to deal with any possible danger at all times. Naturally, it was impossible for him to clear out these Scaled Apes.

On the other side, Lone Wolf was also exhausted from dealing with Illusionary Flame Moths that were not afraid of death.

The red moths were the size of a human face, and their bodies contained a lot of venom that would explode upon contact with air.

These moths had no defensive power and could be easily killed by a walking stick.

However, if the fragile body of an Illusionary Flame Moth was destroyed, the deflagration liquid in its body would instantly react, and it would the same destructive force as a small gas can.

The resulting explosion and high temperature would be fatal to anyone within 10 meters.

Lone Wolf wanted to clear out a portion of the beasts first, then activate the Invisibility Armor and shuttle through the beast tide to kill those novice Rank 6 beasts.
