Beast Tide (Seeking Recommendations)

The demonic beast riot in the forest has formed a "beast tide," and everyone's face is filled with solemnity.

This is the situation the Scavengers least want to see.

At this moment, Uncle Sam also put on his armor, holding a small round shield and a spear, and walked over fully armed.

He nodded to Canossa, then warned Rein, "Doctor Rein, judging by the sounds, there are quite a few demonic beasts. I might not be able to look after you during the fight, so be careful yourself."

Rein nodded, "Mm."

After a pause, Sam seemed to remember something else, glanced at Canossa beside him, and added to Rein, "Uh, you must also protect the lady."

"Okay!"

Rein didn't think there was anything wrong with that statement and said seriously, "I will do my best!"

Canossa, seeing his serious expression, raised her eyebrows slightly and pursed her lips without speaking.

Although Rein had suspected that this delicate lady might be a hidden master, after spending a few days together, he was more inclined to believe his own judgment: she was truly just a pampered rich woman.

After all, this Countess, who felt pain in her ankle after walking a few steps, did not fit the characteristics of a master in any way.

Moreover, for high-ranking nobles, advancing to higher-tier transcendent beings was never a mandatory life choice; enjoying life was the most important thing.

The higher the tier of transcendent being, the harder it was to advance, and the more diligent cultivation was required, consuming a vast amount of energy.

Such arduous tasks were naturally left to their subordinates. They had enough wealth to hire high-tier transcendent guards and had no need for the monotonous cultivation that lasted for eternity.

The commotion in the forest grew louder. Rein couldn't discern what kind of demonic beasts they were, so he asked Uncle Sam beside him, "Uncle, can you sense what kind of demonic beasts they are?"

As a third-tier Demon Hunter, his perception range was very wide, and Sam would definitely understand the current situation better than anyone.

The honest and sturdy man listened for a moment and replied, "Their footsteps are light and their numbers are dense. It might be Gale Wolves! Of course, there are some others..."

"Gale Wolves?"

Hearing this, Rein's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He let out a heavy breath and muttered, "This seems to be a bit of a big problem."

"Gale Wolves" are first-tier wind-element demonic beasts, and their wolf kings are usually second-tier.

Although they fall under the category of low-tier demonic beasts, they are also among the most troublesome demonic beasts to encounter when traveling through the jungle.

This is because, despite their low intelligence, they have a keen sense of smell and excellent night vision. They also excel at using wind elemental power, capable of spitting wind blades. They can also run with the wind, moving as swiftly as phantoms in the forest.

Swift, agile, with high evasion, they know how to flank and bite.

In groups of three to five, they can even hunt powerful opponents that are larger and of a higher tier than themselves.

For Demon Hunters who have broken through the third-tier Gene Locks, large-scale wolf packs that hunt at night are a fatal threat!

Judging by the current sounds, the wolf pack coming towards them from the forest is definitely not small in number.

"Boom!"

A single-soldier artillery piece spat flames, causing a large burst of light in the dense forest hundreds of meters away.

The battle had finally begun!

"Everyone, open fire, the wolf pack is here!"

"Intensify your fire, use incendiary rounds to disperse them!"

"Locate the wolf king, prepare for decapitation..."

"..."

It had to be said that the members of the "Chamois Scavenger Group" indeed had rich field experience.

Even knowing that the pair of green eyes in the darkness belonged to a pack of Gale Wolves, they were not overly panicked and instead formulated the most reasonable response plan: to decapitate the wolf king and disperse the beast horde.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

For a time, firelight erupted everywhere, with firearms and artillery shells pouring into the dense forest as if they were free. Ammunition exploded everywhere, instantly igniting large patches of fire in the dense forest, gradually clarifying the field of vision.

However, gradually, everyone discovered that something was wrong.

These demonic wolves were too ferocious. Even with the dense barrage of gunfire, they showed no intention of retreating!

And the worse situation was yet to come.

"Commander, I sense at least fifty Gale Wolves!"

"Not good, there's also a third-tier Explosive Brown Bear heading towards us..."

"How is that possible?! Explosive Brown Bears and demonic wolves would never hunt together. How could they attack us simultaneously... What's going on?"

"Watch out for the ground, there are poisonous insects too! Insect repellent powder, use it quickly!"

"..."

Hearing the roar of the giant bear, everyone panicked.

The third-tier "Explosive Brown Bear" was already considered a high-tier demonic beast. That giant earth-element brown bear, eight meters tall, could easily snap a giant tree with one paw. Its fur was as hard as armor, making it difficult for ordinary firearms to inflict effective damage.

It was one of the overlord-class demonic beasts of the jungle!

In this moment of crisis, Uncle Sam stepped forward and shouted, "Leave the Explosive Brown Bear to me, you all be careful!"

Here, he was also the only Demon Hunter who could withstand high-level magical beasts!

"Look quickly, someone sent a distress signal!"

Before the members of the "Chamois Scavenger Group" could figure out what this beast tide was all about, they looked towards the sky through the trees. Flares lit up the night sky one after another.

Only then did they realize that it wasn't just them; all the magical beasts in the forest had gone berserk. Dozens of battles erupted simultaneously on this mountain road, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

The magical beasts in the forest seemed to have gone mad, ferociously attacking all humans they encountered!

The leader, Bart, cursed, "Damn it! Reinforcements are impossible. We can only rely on ourselves now, everyone. Let's fight to the death!"

"Yes, leader!"

No one backed down; the team members' gazes were sharp.

From the first day they became Scavengers, they had this awareness.

The battle was more brutal than expected.

Under normal circumstances, magical beasts would instinctively be startled and retreat upon seeing firearms, muzzle flashes, and explosions.

But now, they seemed to disregard their own lives, charging forward with bloodshot eyes, intent on hunting down all the humans before them.

Several demon wolves, riddled with bullet holes and bleeding, ignored their injuries and quickly broke through the trap zone, tearing through the defense line of the "Chamois Scavenger Group" members.

The blood-crazed demon wolves, like merciless hunters, bared their sharp fangs.

Firearms were useless. The fight devolved into the most brutal close-quarters combat, and casualties occurred instantly.

"Pasha, hurry over here, we need medical attention! Jack's leg was bitten off by a wolf!"

"Damn it! Pasha, are you done over there? Klein's artery has been ripped open and needs immediate stitching..."

"Three-person formation, kill!"

"..."

The scene descended into chaos.

No one expected the casualties to come so suddenly.

Over thirty Gale Wolves tore through the defense line, instantly causing the Scavenger Group members to cry out in pain. This was a situation they had never encountered before.

Pasha, the only medic, was also overwhelmed, barely finishing one treatment before another emergency arose.

The battle quickly reached a stalemate. Rein, watching from not far away, his gaze flickering frequently, sighed in his heart, "It looks like we might not get through this beast tide safely tonight..."

Given the current situation, no one could remain uninvolved.

After a moment of consideration, Rein made up his mind.

He urgently said to Canossa beside him, "Madam, please go inside the house. It will be safer there."

"?"

Hearing this, Canossa turned her head and looked at him with confusion.

At this moment, Rein said with firm resolve, "I'm going to help!"

Uncle Sam, the strongest fighter, was blocking a third-tier Explosive Brown Bear with his round shield and didn't seem able to disengage.

He knew very well that although he was not in immediate danger, by the time the hired Scavengers were all dead and the defense line was completely broken, it would be too late to act!

To hide his abilities now would be no different from waiting for death.

With that, he charged forward without hesitation.

The mechanical arm under his white coat clicked, and the miniature steam boiler started up again...

The battlefield was so fierce that Rein couldn't afford to think too much as he charged straight into it.

Meanwhile, Canossa had no intention of retreating back to the cabin. Instead, she stared with interest at the fearless figure charging forward, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Not bad..."

Facing the surging beast tide, the Vice President of the Black Gold Merchant Guild showed little change in her expression, and there was not a hint of panic in her eyes.

In a blink, she stopped paying attention to the battlefield and looked into the depths of the forest, her brow furrowed in thought.

"This beast rampage should have been caused by magical hypnosis. It's a bit like the beast-controlling methods of those barbarian priests in the 'Ashen Forest'..."

Canossa seemed to recall something, a flicker of confusion in her beautiful eyes as she murmured.

"That's strange. The intelligence gathered before stated that those barbarians only operated within the 'Ashen Forest'. Now they've crossed the defenses of the 'City of Radiance' and come east of the 'Alkolon Mountain Range'. Why is that?"

But before she could ponder further, Just then, Canossa looked at Rein, who had just entered the battlefield in the distance, her eyes lighting up with amazement.

"Oh, so he's quite capable!"
