This wasn't Qin Ze's first time entering the Blue Flame Realm; he was already very familiar with the surrounding terrain.
"Once you cross that sand dune, you'll reach the Flame Temple."
The Dharma King conducted a brief reconnaissance using the Captain's telescope.
Qin Ze, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear anything?"
Brother Devour listened intently. "It seems so."
Giant Overlord: "I only heard the wind."
The Dharma King took to the air. "I've come to scout ahead."
The higher you stand, the farther you can see.
The Dharma King flew to a height of 100 meters and looked around.
Through the Dharma King's perspective, Qin Ze and the others also took in a large part of the world.
"Two o'clock," Qin Ze said.
The Dharma King slowly turned around.
On the horizon not far away, the yellow sand on the ground was swirled up, forming a sizable sandstorm that was approaching the entrance to the world.
In the sandstorm, countless strange beasts were running wildly, accompanied by a cacophony of roars.
"Roar--"
"Waaah--"
"Waaaaah--"
"..."
Qin Ze frowned. "A beast tide."
Sure enough, there really are strange beasts in this world.
What he couldn't understand was why such a large-scale beast tide had formed on this particular day.
If there had been a beast tide of this scale before, there would have been eyewitnesses.
Sea Capital is guarded by Level Nine garrison commander.
He also conducted a thorough search of this world.
Even the most formidable beast cannot escape the eyes of Level Nine Martial Artist.
In other words, this is the first time a beast tide has occurred.
Qin Ze had a vague premonition.
This beast tide is related to the Flame Temple.
The Dharma King said, "Their goal is the entrance to the world; they want to invade the Pan-Continent?"
Brother Devour: "Probably."
Qin Ze sent a message on the Local Area Network: "Send someone to notify the island's administrative office that a beast tide has arrived."
The scale of this beast tide is comparable to a Tide wave.
Opening the portal using the Void Beast's abilities costs fifty points of Source of the World.
At this moment, Qin Ze was completely free of these.
Besides, the distribution hasn't ended yet, so opening the door won't help.
"Aim higher, find a good placement location."
Upon hearing this, the Dharma King continued to ascend.
The location where the strange beast was deployed was quickly found.
It is located behind a sand dune several tens of meters high.
Spatial fissures, tens of meters long and more than ten meters high, stretch along the mountain range.
Strange beasts continued to emerge from the cracks.
This spatial rift was somewhat different from what Qin Ze had seen before.
It is horizontal.
As red as blood.
Meanwhile, behind the crack, a powerful force seemed to be unleashing itself wildly.
"Map."
Giant Overlord, hands on his knees, quickly bent down.
Brother Devour took out a map of the Blue Flame Realm and unfolded it on the Giant Overlord's back.
Qin Ze pointed to the mark on the map and whispered, "This used to be the North Ridge."
"According to the Great Sage, the entrance to the Abyss from the Blue Flame Realm is located in the North Ridge."
"And that sand dune is the North Ridge."
Brother Devour put away the map. "Is that rift the entrance to the Abyss?"
Qin Ze nodded. "It can't be wrong."
The Giant Overlord asked in bewilderment, "Why did those strange beasts only emerge from the entrance today?"
Qin Ze looked in the direction of the Flame Temple: "We'll have to find the answer there."
The Dharma King descended from the sky. "We have to retreat; the horde will reach our position in thirty seconds."
Qin Ze nodded. "Let's go."
Fortunately, the Flame Temple was in another direction, not on the path the beast tide would inevitably take, otherwise a head-on collision would have been unavoidable.
Unsure whether there were any Hunting Beast within the beast tide, Qin Ze did not open the Shelter Space.
The group held their breath and moved forward at high speed across the sand.
Rumble--
Suddenly, it felt as if an earth dragon was turning over beneath Qin Ze's feet, producing a deafening thud.
"We were discovered after all."
"Prepare for battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze quickly retreated and dodged.
At the spot where he had just been standing, a fleshy worm with a diameter of more than three meters emerged with a "bang".
The flesh worm has no face; its head consists only of a large, swirling mouth filled with rings of sharp teeth.
"Level E."
The abilities of the strange beasts are incredibly diverse.
This animal, which has no nose, has an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
Even when Qin Ze and his group were several kilometers away from the beast tide, it could Precision lock onto and track them.
Hearing the commotion, a small squad composed of numerous F and E-level alien beasts broke off from the beast tide to support the Flesh Worm.
"Walk!"
Qin Ze decisively opened the Shelter Space, shielding the Dharma King and the other two, and headed straight for the Flame Temple.
There were too many strange beasts, including quite a few intermediate-level ones; the four of them alone couldn't possibly kill them all.
Qin Ze decided to unleash the subterranean fire suppressed beneath the Flame Temple for a grand barbecue party.
Suddenly losing sight of Qin Ze and the others, the small group of beasts spun around in circles like donkeys pulling a millstone.
However, Qin Ze hadn't gone far when a familiar black figure came into view.
The next second, the Shelter Space was torn apart by a pair of black claws.
" Hunting Beast."
Qin Ze was somewhat irritated.
Hunting Beast is like maggots in a toilet.
Although it wasn't particularly dangerous, it was absolutely disgusting.
The Shelter Space shattered, its aura leaked, and the small team caught up again.
The Dharma King surveyed the surroundings and said, "Two Hunting Beast, one nearby, one far away."
Brother Devour said in a deep voice, "These two Hunting Beast are at least D-rank, and they're quite intelligent and know how to cooperate."
"We can't leave until we deal with this beast and his sycophants."
Qin Ze deactivated his Shelter Space, Hunting Beast in front of him was caught off guard and slapped away.
Seeing that the Shelter Space had disappeared, the two Hunting Beast did not advance to engage, but instead decisively retreated, leaving the battlefield to the small team.
The Giant Overlord clicked its tongue in amazement. "Even strange beasts have brains now."
The number of alien beasts in the squad is around three thousand.
Most of them are low-level exotic beasts, with only a handful being mid-level ones.
Qin Ze snorted coldly, "Human wave tactics?"
"What a coincidence, isn't it? It's exactly what I'm best at."
Immediately, clones emerged from Qin Ze's body.
A continuous stream, an endless flow.
At this moment, Qin Ze felt like a Zerg mother, constantly "laying eggs".
In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand clones had descended upon the battlefield.
The two Hunting Beast on the Sidelines of the OB blinked, looking a little confused.
There were only four people a moment ago, how come there are so many all of them suddenly?
Despite their intelligence, their brains, only the size of walnuts, are too small to understand.
"Another team fight already? Hahaha!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
"Finally, it's not a one-sided stomp on noobs; this is starting to get interesting."
"Feel the wrath of the Circus!"
"Die! Die! All of you, die!"
"The hero has arrived!"
"..."
The clones transformed into a torrent, colliding head-on with the beast horde without yielding an inch.
" Myriad Bolts of Thunder!"
The Dharma King's entire body crackled with lightning, and he instantly Beast Transformation.
He spread his arms, and golden lightning from the sky wove a large net around him.
"This is divine punishment from Thor!"
With a wave of his hand, the Dharma King threw the lightning net into the horde of beasts.
Hundreds of strange beasts were instantly annihilated into clouds of blood mist the moment they touched the power of the thunder.
