"Boom--"
The beast tide surged forward.
Above the horde of beasts, a figure was hovering.
Its hooked tail, like that of a scorpion, swayed gently in the breeze, sometimes veering to the left, sometimes to the right.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni silently watched the surging tide of beasts below.
A moment later, he raised his head and looked ahead.
The mountains are shadowed in layers; I wonder what lies beyond.
It pondered for a moment, then raised its scorpion tail toward a Sky-Skimming Harrier in the distance, before curling up.
The Sky-Skimming Harrier paused for a moment, then flapped its wings and changed direction, flying over.
" Gou Wang!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier greeted.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni stared intently at the Sky-Skimming Harrier and asked, "How much further?"
"We'll be there in about 60 kilometers!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier called out.
However, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni was not satisfied.
Upon hearing that there were still 60 kilometers to go, it couldn't help but frown.
60 kilometers is not a long distance for them, the fourth and 5th Tier of the Calamity Beast, but it is too far for the first and Tier 2 of the monster horde that make up the main body of the beast Calamity Beast!
Moreover, these Calamity Beast have already been running all day; making them run another 60 kilometers would be asking too much trouble.
Below, two Calamity Beast that had been on the stretcher seemed to notice the situation and flew up.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni glanced at them but ignored them, turning its gaze back to the Sky-Skimming Harrier and asking in a deep voice:
"So, it won't arrive until tomorrow?"
Beside them, the two newly arrived Calamity Beast blinked, their gazes also fixed on the Sky-Skimming Harrier.
The Sky-Skimming Harrier's eyes flickered, keenly sensing Gou Wang's meaning, and it spoke:
"60 kilometers is the distance to that human city. If you only need to go there to join the beast tide led by Lord Mirror Water Beast, you only need to travel about 30 kilometers!"
"Tsk, over thirty kilometers, that's not short for those low-level Calamity Beast, is it?" a leopard-type Calamity Beast that had just flown up said.
"It's not close, but it's still better than sixty kilometers!" another bear-like Calamity Beast chimed in. In their brief exchange, they already knew what the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni had been talking about.
It continued speaking:
"It's only thirty-odd kilometers. We just need to put up with the Calamity Beast below a bit more and try to get there tonight!"
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni remained silent; in this respect, it was equally in favor.
"But given their current state..." The bear-like Calamity Beast looked down at the horde of beasts below, "It'll probably take at least another hour, right?"
"Yes!" replied the leopard-like Calamity Beast.
The bear-like Calamity Beast clicked its tongue in disdain, "These useless things! We would have arrived long ago if it weren't for them!"
"That's right!" The leopard-like Calamity Beast nodded in agreement.
"If it weren't for them, would you be filling the muzzles of those human cannons?" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni said irritably from the middle.
The leopard-like Calamity Beast choked for a moment and didn't reply.
The bear-like Calamity Beast stubbornly insisted,
"I'll take the hits! Those human shells aren't that powerful. As long as I'm careful not to get hit by too many in a row, I'll be fine!"
Ignoring the dim-witted fellow, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni turned its gaze to the Sky-Skimming Harrier.
"Go, spread the word! All the Calamity Beast can only rest after they reach their destination tonight!"
"Yes!"
The Sky-Skimming Harrier down and replied.
Having said that, it turned its wings and prepared to leave, however...
"Besides!"
The Sky-Skimming Harrier flapped its wings and returned.
"Lord Gou Wang, please speak!"
"Take a few other Calamity Beast and fly ahead to check the situation," said the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni.
"Check... the situation?" the Sky-Skimming Harrier asked, somewhat confused.
"Hmm, let's see if any humans are lying in ambush ahead!" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni said in a deep voice.
"Well, didn't Lord Mirror Water Beast already surround that human city?" the Sky-Skimming Harrier replied instinctively.
"Yeah, what are we checking?" the bear-like Calamity Beast chimed in from the side.
"Go check if there are any other humans lying in ambush!" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni said in a deep voice.
" Gou Wang, aren't you being a little too cautious?!" the bear-like Calamity Beast shouted from the side.
"Indeed!" The leopard-like Calamity Beast nodded in agreement. "That city is already surrounded by Lord Mirror Water Beast, how could there possibly be other humans outside?"
"Yeah!" the bear-like Calamity Beast grinned. "If you ask me, you're just scared by what happened with the Molten-Fire Lizard. Those humans have such short legs, how could they possibly appear everywhere?"
The leopard-like Calamity Beast nodded, but then glanced at the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni.
"However, it seems that Gou Wang was also involved in the last mission?"
Upon hearing this, the bear-like Calamity Beast beside them immediately widened its eyes.
"Really?"
The leopard-like Calamity Beast nodded.
Seeing this, the bear-like Calamity Beast's mouth stretched even wider.
"I knew it! You were just scared last time. Actually, those humans are so Xiaoxiao, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
There was no response; the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni stared intently at the Sky-Skimming Harrier.
"I told you to go, didn't you hear me?"
The Sky-Skimming Harrier hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two types of Calamity Beast beside it, namely the bear and the leopard, and after receiving a helpless expression, it immediately turned its gaze back.
"Okay, I understand!"
Having said that, it immediately flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
"Well, do whatever you want. Just call me when we get there. I'm going down to lie down!" The bear-like Calamity Beast yawned and then flew down.
The leopard-like Calamity Beast followed closely behind.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni's gaze followed them downwards.
They flew to the two stretchers below and then collapsed.
Ha, you two idiots! It's your kind of beasts who die in war!
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni scoffed inwardly, then raised its gaze to the dozen or so figures that had already flown away.
Its gaze passed over them, looking towards the distance.
For some reason, it always felt that there was danger ahead!
"Boom boom boom..."
The roar of the beast tide was so close that it could be heard almost immediately.
Shen Heng crouched behind a tree, silently watching the now clearly visible tide of beasts.
To be honest, if he had other options, he wouldn't want to engage in this current wave of attacks.
Nearly ten thousand Calamity Beast, including three Fifth Tier beasts.
This number is not something a force of their size could normally handle without any support.
But it seems there are no other options.
If we don't fight, we'll just have to let this beast tide pass by.
When the two beast tides converge, Frontier-Pacifying City will face only one fate: fall!
Even if they wanted to attack the rear while the Calamity Beast were besieging the city, it wouldn't make much difference.
Humans without terrain to rely on, even with firearms, are not much stronger than an equal number of beasts. The Calamity Beast will only need to send a small portion to deal with their attacks.
so...
We must fight! We absolutely must fight, and we must win!
Only in this way can we create enough opportunities in Frontier-Pacifying City to deal with the Calamity Beast there!
Shen Heng lowered his eyes and gazed at the surging black shadows.
After a while, he turned his head and looked back towards the direction of Frontier-Pacifying City.
There are more than 20,000 people surrounding Frontier-Pacifying City, and if you include the nearly 10,000 Calamity Beast here, the total is more than 30,000.
Last time, the Calamity Beast that the Molten-Fire Lizard summoned from the Anchor Point and the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi was probably around this amount.
twice.
It's probably not a coincidence.
After thoroughly investigating the situation, is it safest to destroy this type of city with over 30,000 Calamity Beast?
It's indeed a very safe approach. If we encountered this in Bedrock City, it seems there's no other way besides using the Azure Talisman Jade.
Shen Heng pondered.
Suddenly, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the figures flying towards him.
"Everyone, be silent!!"
