"Good! Then continue hunting in the wilderness and temper yourself. Call anytime if you need anything; a fighter jet will arrive soon."

Liu Xu nodded decisively, then continued.

"Now that your strength has broken through to War God, you are an important force in the Military as well.

"So there are some things I need to tell you in advance, so you can be mentally prepared.

"A large number of Monsters have gathered in the Sea, already reaching the level of a Level 3 Beast Tide, and they are still continuously gathering. It is estimated that it may reach Level 2, or even Level 1.

"It could erupt at the end of this month or next month. A Beast Tide could strike at any time.

"When that happens, we will need your strength."

"A Level 1 Beast Tide? I understand."

Qin Ming frowned slightly, then relaxed.

This was something that happened every year at War Base 003. The Military had long been prepared, and for him, this Beast Tide was also an opportunity.

An opportunity to let the Myriad Souls Banner undergo a complete transformation.

"Before the war breaks out, I'll return to the base!"

"Alright!"

After delivering the news, Liu Xu did not linger and soon left in a fighter jet.

When he left, he also took away a batch of monster materials for Qin Ming.

Over the past few days of hunting monsters, Qin Ming had deliberately kept some valuable monster materials.

For example, the tendons of an Advanced Beast General Tiger Cat monster were worth fifty or sixty million Huaxia Currency, yet they contained very little energy if condensed into Blood Essence.

"Continue hunting! Increase my strength as much as possible."

Qin Ming's gaze was deep as he drove the Giant Rock Black Bear beneath his feet toward the distance, with twenty Advanced Beast General Flesh Puppets closely following behind him.

City 003 lacked nothing but Monsters!

Even the suburban area where he was located was relatively remote, yet several places in the suburbs were occupied by High Lord Level Monsters.

"There are four Lord Level Monsters over there: the Primary Lord Level Ironback Dragon Lizard, Golden Eye Tiger, and Gale Wolf King, as well as the High Lord Level Thunder Giant Elephant.

"In another direction, there is also a High Lord Level monster, the Diamond Ape, stationed there.

"Let's clear out the Primary Lords first!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Black Rock Giant Bear charged recklessly through the monster horde like a tank, while the more than twenty Advanced Beast Generals behind it followed with low growls, directly carving out a bloody path.

That overwhelming momentum enraged the Ironback Dragon Lizard at the center of the beast horde, making it roar furiously.

The two had been "neighbors" to begin with, and friction between them had been constant. No one knew how many battles they had fought.

Do not think Monsters lived harmoniously among themselves.

The number of Monsters that died fighting each other far exceeded those hunted and killed by human Martial Warriors!

Boom!

The Black Rock Giant Bear and Ironback Dragon Lizard slammed into each other, and the violent impact made the surrounding air tremble.

The battle between the two massive creatures was like a pair of bulldozers. Buildings collapsed wherever they passed, dust filled the air, and the thunderous sounds could be clearly heard dozens of miles away.

Some Monsters heard it and instinctively moved away.

Lord Level Monsters were clashing!

Yet both the Black Rock Giant Bear and the Ironback Dragon Lizard were Lord Level Monsters with extremely powerful defenses. For a time, neither could do anything to the other.

Just as the two massive creatures were fighting fiercely, a black shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky.

Green-scaled Eagle!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Nine Flying Knives shot down from the sky with lightning speed.

The Black Scaled Python's Soul Roar rang out in the Sea of Consciousness of the Ironback Dragon Lizard, which was fighting the Black Rock Giant Bear. Its body stiffened, and then its neck, abdomen, eyes, and other vital points were pierced through.

Before the heavily injured Ironback Dragon Lizard could resist, the Black Rock Giant Bear's enormous bear paw smashed down on its head, leaving it dazed and disoriented.

A moment later, the fallen Ironback Dragon Lizard stood up again, though a trace of blood-red had appeared in its eyes. It obediently stood behind Qin Ming.

Soon, the two massive creatures set out again!

Once the snowball started rolling, it became unstoppable.

With multiple Lord Level Monsters gathered together, how could other wild Lord Level Monsters possibly resist them?

Moreover, Qin Ming had his Flying Knives launching sneak attacks, while the monster souls inside the Myriad Souls Banner used Soul Attacks.

In less than a day, Qin Ming killed all three nearby Primary Lord Level Monsters and turned them into Flesh Puppets.

On the second day, he changed locations and continued hunting.

Inside a relatively intact luxury apartment building in the city center.

"What's going on? The Lord Level Monsters in that area have been fighting madly all this time! And it seems like there's more than one."

A muscular man nearly two meters tall, carrying a battle axe over his shoulder, listened to the roars coming from afar and frowned.

"Let's take a look! Some change we don't know about may have happened. Maybe we can take advantage of it and pick up some benefits."

A lean middle-aged man dressed in a black combat uniform walked over from the side.

Both of them were War Gods, and both were Elementary War Gods.

They had entered City 003 this time to hunt Lord Level Monsters, but before long, they heard the sounds of Lord Level Monsters fighting.

It was normal for Lord Level Monsters to kill each other, but continuous fighting involving several Lord Level Monsters was a little unusual.

The two immediately raced through the city, heading toward the source of the sounds.

"Huh? Fuck! Black Rock Giant Bear, Ironback Dragon Lizard, Golden Eye Tiger, Gale Wolf King... Eight Primary Lord Level Monsters are besieging that Middle Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog?

"What did that Tiger Howl Dog Lord do?

"To provoke so many Lord Level Monsters into attacking it?

"Those eight Lord Level Monsters are enough to tear that Middle Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog apart."

Standing atop a high-rise building, the muscular man stared dumbfounded at the Lord Level Monsters battling in the distance.

"Not just that! Look at the sky! There's also the third-ranked Lord Level monster among eagle-type beasts—the Thunderclap Eagle!"

The lean middle-aged man looked up into the thick fog.

Screech—

An extremely piercing cry suddenly rang out beside them. It was as deafening as thunder, making both War Gods feel a faint pain in their eardrums.

Swish!

Before the cry even reached them, a massive black shadow tore through the air and pounced toward the Middle Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog at more than four times the speed of sound.

"Fuck! There's someone on that Thunderclap Eagle! A Spiritual Force User!"

The muscular War God's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face filled with horror.

A straight-backed figure stood atop the Thunderclap Eagle, whose wingspan was nearly thirty meters. Flying Knives shot out like phantoms.

Squelch!

Blood splattered everywhere.

The already exhausted Tiger Howl Dog leader let out a mournful cry and tried to escape the encirclement, only to be slapped back by the Gale Wolf King's claw.

Bang!

The Black Rock Giant Bear sat down heavily on the Tiger Howl Dog Lord's body, causing cracking sounds to erupt from every bone in its body.

Then the other Lord Level Monsters swarmed forward and firmly restrained the Tiger Howl Dog Lord.

"What is this situation? A Spiritual Force User? A Beast Tamer? When did the War God Palace produce such a War God?"

The lean War God swallowed, his voice turning somewhat dry.

The straight-backed figure slowly descended from midair and landed before the Tiger Howl Dog, which was continuously roaring and whimpering. Then he pressed his palm against its head.

Awoo—

The Tiger Howl Dog Lord let out an extremely terrified shriek, as though it had suffered some excruciating torment, before slowly lowering its head.

"He's a War God from the Military! This is truly unbelievable! With those nine Primary Lord Level Monsters, even an ordinary High Lord might not necessarily be a match for him, right?"

Cold sweat covered the muscular War God's forehead. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the unknown Military War God turn and glance at him.

The next moment, his expression became extremely strange.

The eight Primary Lords released the restrained Middle Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog. The Tiger Howl Dog, which had just fallen unconscious, slowly opened its eyes and let out a low growl.

It seemed to be surrendering, and also pleading.

Then, just like the other eight Lord Level Monsters, it voluntarily followed behind the unknown War God and headed into the distance.

Screech—

The earth-shattering cry of the Thunderclap Eagle rang out, jolting the two awake.

"Who exactly is he?"
