The sudden strange phenomenon in the sky attracted the attention of everyone present.
The audience looked up and took out their phones to take pictures.
"What's going on? It was sunny just a moment ago."
Is a typhoon coming?
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ugh--
As the audience discussed the matter, a piercing air raid siren blared over Jiang City.
They had heard that familiar alarm just five days earlier during the beast tide.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
They rushed out, jostling each other.
"Come with me."
The Ministry of Education grabbed Qin Ze by the shoulder and led him away from the examination room in a few steps.
"What happened to your kidneys?" Qin Ze couldn't help but ask.
" The Tide has come, and it's still five whirlpools." The Ministry of Education smiled wryly, "You, the top scorer, are truly unlucky."
"He had such a bright future ahead of him, but today he is destined to perish here."
Qin Ze understood the meaning behind the other person's words.
This Tide is irresistible.
Today, everyone in the city will die.
What exactly are Tide?
Qin Ze finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask in the group chat.
"A carnival of strange beasts," the Ministry of Education said, pursing his lips.
Upon hearing this answer, the clone began to grumble and curse.
"Saying that is the same as saying nothing."
"All riddle solvers, die!"
" The Dharma King should give him a shock."
"Should we call the Dharma King and the others to come and join us?"
"..."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "Tell them to stay home and hide."
Before figuring out the situation, Qin Ze decided to observe secretly.
A few minutes later, the Ministry of Education led Qin Ze to the gate of a shelter.
The shelter was located below the Jiang City office building. The entrance was an inconspicuous, secluded door, guarded by fully armed soldiers from the City Defense Bureau.
Hundreds of people lined up anxiously, waiting to go through security and enter the shelter.
These people were dressed in glamorous clothes, clearly indicating that they were either rich or noble.
"There's a shelter here?"
Qin Ze thought there were only four shelters in the city.
"They are all family members of high-ranking martial artists. You will be with them later," the Ministry of Education instructed.
Through the half-open door, Qin Ze could see the interior of the shelter.
The outer door is just a cover; the real door is inside.
The alloy gate with its giant mechanical gear lock is exactly the same as that of Shelter No. 10.
Compared to that, public shelters are like heaven and earth.
Soon, Qin Ze noticed several buses approaching.
All of those who came down were the top 256 candidates in this year's martial arts exam.
In the crowd, Qin Ze spotted Xie Xueying seemed somewhat at a loss.
Everyone was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
The Ministry of Education led Qin Ze directly to the soldiers at the door.
"The safety of this year's martial arts exam champion must be guaranteed."
The soldier nodded. "Yes, sir."
The Ministry of Education immediately looked at Qin Ze: "Try to survive."
Watching the other person's departing figure, Qin Ze suddenly felt a sense of desolation, like the wind howling and the Yi River running cold.
"Scholar, please don't stay outside, come inside," the soldier said.
Qin Ze nodded, and the moment he stepped through the half-open door, he activated the Shelter Space, then swaggered out of the shelter.
The five vortexes in the sky grew larger and larger, gradually turning red.
The entire sky was ablaze, incredibly dazzling.
Qin Ze didn't linger and quickly ran towards the city wall.
Having learned from the experience of resisting the beast tide five days ago, everything on the city wall is now proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the same old spot, Qin Ze saw Niuniu and his group again.
The men looked distressed and sighed; they were clearly being forcibly conscripted.
They were really unlucky.
Having just weathered a beast tide, we now face Tide.
Niu Zhida sighed repeatedly, "It's all my fault. We should have set off yesterday."
The Babyface said in a deep voice, "It's no use saying anything now. Let's think about how to survive."
Gazing at the vortex in the sky, the Skinny Dog's voice remained calm. "Survive? How is that possible? That's the Five-Vortex Tide."
Qin Ze stood beside the group, gazing at the sky with them.
Five vortexes, each nearly 100 meters in diameter, slowly rotated at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Suddenly, a dazzling point of seven-colored light appeared at the center.
The light gradually expanded, quickly spreading and covering the entire vortex.
The outer edge of the vortex was a fiery red, stretching all the way to the distant horizon.
The vortex itself, however, was a constantly flowing stream of seven-colored light.
The dazzling light shone upon the earth, even more beautiful than the aurora borealis at night in the Northern Territory.
"So beautiful!" the Babyface exclaimed.
The Skinny Dog nodded in agreement. "To see such a magnificent sight even once in a lifetime is truly worthwhile."
Qin Ze was also captivated by this rare sight.
Niu Zhida's voice woke everyone up. "Get ready, the beasts are about to be released."
As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling curtain of light descended from the vortex in the open space in front of the city wall.
The earth was decorated with colorful dots of light, like a concert stage.
"Roar--"
"Awoo--"
"Eek--"
With a deafening roar, thousands of strange beasts burst out of the light screen simultaneously, and more were continuously being released.
High in the sky, vortexes spewed forth hordes of hideous flying beasts, their bodies radiating dazzling light.
In the blink of an eye, a beast tide of hundreds of thousands was formed.
They roared, Fervor, and surged towards Jiang City like a tsunami.
Densely packed, covering the sky and earth, like a swarm of locusts stretching as far as the eye can see.
Qin Ze's hair stood on end.
At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of the Tide.
The dazzling, bizarre sky and earth became the stage for strange beasts.
A breathtakingly beautiful sight, with countless charging alien beasts.
The combination of the two is like a beautiful nightmare.
The warriors defending the city could barely hold their weapons; they longed to wake from their nightmare.
Even the beast tide unleashed by the Void Beast pales in comparison to what's before them.
There are nearly 200,000 strange beasts, with low-level beasts being only a minority.
The vast majority are mid-level exotic beasts ranging from A to C rank.
Qin Ze has not yet seen an S-class alien beast.
This is one of the few pieces of good news.
"Still looking at your mother? Have you forgotten what Brother Yuanzi said? Run!"
" The Dharma King and his entourage are on their way here; they'll arrive soon."
" The Tide force is too high. Unless you have administrator privileges, who can beat it?"
"You've been yelling about increasing the intensity all day long, and now the intensity has increased."
"This can't be the way it's supposed to be! We haven't even left the starting village yet, and they're already sending us to fight a boss?"
"To be fair, the Human Race has some merit to have survived to this day."
"Damn it, can you shut up already? The Hunting Beast should be here soon!"
"..."
The clones panicked.
Qin Ze has already arranged for the Dharma King and the others to come and join him.
Once he arrived, he prepared to leave Jiang City using the Shelter Space.
He was no savior; the Tide before him was beyond his control.
As the beast horde approached the city, the fire control commander gave the order.
"Fire!"
