After a while...
The Mirror Water Beast remained standing in the same spot, its gaze fixed upwards.
Beside it, the Hard-Armored Salamander frowned, its gaze also fixed on the beast tide attacking the mountain ahead, but it would occasionally glance back.
Ignoring its little tricks, the Mirror Water Beast silently gazed upwards.
Suddenly, the Sky-Skimming Harrier flapped its wings and flew down from above again.
This time, the Mirror Water Beast didn't make the Hard-Armored Salamander speak again. Instead, it swayed its body and asked:
"The search... is complete?"
"Yes, Lord Mirror Water Beast!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier replied respectfully. "I just had the Calamity Beast conduct a quick search, and they found no signs of humans in the vicinity."
"What about that mountain up there?" the Mirror Water Beast asked.
"The firepower up there is too intense, so we still can't get close. However, based on our observations from the past, there are very few humans above the Fourth Tier, and we haven't found a single Fifth Tier one!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier replied.
There was no response. The Mirror Water Beast swayed its body, silently gazing upwards, lost in thought.
The Hard-Armored Salamander waited for a while, and seeing that Lord Mirror Water Beast didn't ask any more questions, it turned its gaze to the Sky-Skimming Harrier and asked:
How long until those humans are gone?
The Sky-Skimming Harrier paused for a moment, then quickly realized that Hard-Armored Salamander was asking which city it came from, and it was prepared.
"We should be there in about seven or eight minutes!"
Hearing this, the Hard-Armored Salamander frowned even more deeply and asked, "Where are the Calamity Beast led by Iron Spine?"
" The Calamity Beast led by Lord Iron Spine are behind those humans, they'll be four or five minutes late!" the Sky-Skimming Harrier replied.
Seven or eight minutes, twelve or thirteen minutes... The Hard-Armored Salamander frowned, looked up, and then turned its gaze to the Mirror Water Beast beside it.
It hesitated for a moment, then spoke again:
"Lord Mirror Water Beast, why don't we let the Calamity Beast advance? Otherwise, given the current situation, it's unlikely we can take this hilltop within seven or eight minutes!"
There was no reply; the Mirror Water Beast simply gazed silently upwards, its body swaying slightly.
In their field of vision, one Calamity Beast after another rose upwards.
The foremost Calamity Beast was getting closer and closer to the top...
It even saw a low-level Calamity Beast suddenly dart out, taking advantage of the size of a high-level Calamity Beast for cover.
After dodging several shells, they successfully made their way into the frontline defensive positions of the humans.
Although they were quickly killed by the humans guarding the area, they did indeed manage to break in, and then...
The Mirror Water Beast gazed in that direction.
Some humans were covered in blood, some were screaming, but... they made no other move!
so...
"Are there really no humans lying in ambush?"
"So... the defeat of the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni just now was indeed accomplished by these weak humans through their own abilities?"
"So... is the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni really a useless creature?"
The Mirror Water Beast stood there, its empty eyes silently gazing upwards.
Because the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni, praised by the Lion King, was still defeated despite leading a large number of Calamity Beast, its arrangements from the beginning until now have all been based on moderation, and the result...
I don't know how it went the previous two times, but this time...
"Useless...?"
The Mirror Water Beast recited something rather listlessly.
"Wh... what?" The Hard-Armored Salamander, who had been waiting on the side, asked, not quite hearing clearly.
The Sky-Skimming Harrier also stared intently in that direction.
Lowering its gaze, the Mirror Water Beast glanced at the two of them with some disappointment and said:
"Let's go!"
"Uh, ah...?" The Hard-Armored Salamander seemed somewhat unsure.
Until the Mirror Water Beast spoke again.
"Let the other Calamity Beast advance, and eliminate the humans on top before they arrive..."
"Awoo--"
Excited and triumphant roars echoed from ahead.
One after another, the Calamity Beast sprang into action, charging towards the mountaintop.
Many Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, seemingly finding the lower-tier Calamity Beast in their way, simply stepped on them as they climbed up the mountain...
Shen Heng silently watched this scene in the distance.
Their abilities are only at the B-Class, and in terms of emotional guidance, they are probably only around the C-Class.
This level of ability makes it virtually impossible to incite those of the same level, and even those First Tier lower would be difficult. It might be possible to succeed with those two levels or higher, but facing a massive horde of Calamity Beast, sufficient formality and emotional manipulation would be necessary to propel it forward...
Simply put, the messier the better!
Therefore, Shen Heng did not move when there was a group of high-level Calamity Beast guarding the area below.
Forcing a move isn't out of the question, but there's a high chance of encountering fleeing low-level Calamity Beast, or being forcibly stopped by higher-level Calamity Beast...
"It's a bit troublesome, but at least... it's been triggered..."
Shen Heng let out a soft breath and glanced to his side and behind him.
The only less-than-perfect aspect was that while there was support, we couldn't wait for them to arrive...
"Boom! Boom! Roar--"
The unique, mixed sounds of the battlefield echoed everywhere.
Chen Hua gritted his teeth, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly, his eyes fixed intently on the front.
The main force of the beast tide began to move, and he realized that this was the opportunity Captain Shen had mentioned earlier, but... wasn't this too dangerous?
What if our comrades up there can't hold on?
However, he did not speak, but continued to stare intently ahead.
After all, we've already come this far, so a little more won't make a difference.
However, this "moment" seemed to be taking longer than he had expected.
He watched as those high-level Calamity Beast ascended to the top.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, one-third...
Finally, when the Fourth Tier Calamity Beast reached one-third of its strength, he couldn't resist any longer and looked to his side.
He paused slightly, his mouth, which he had been about to open.
A calm yet clear voice rang in my ears.
"Let me repeat the important points:"
1. Except for 5th Tier Calamity Beast should not be killed; let them go.
2. Avoid prolonged battles if possible. If you encounter a difficult beast, prioritize avoiding it and focus on killing the more easily defeated Calamity Beast.
3. Try to use some high-profile attacks or methods, such as knocking the Calamity Beast away, to ensure that the Calamity Beast can see and hear you from a distance.
4. Someone was seen attempting to command and stabilize the Calamity Beast...
He paused, then said:
"Kill!"
"Did you remember?"
"I've got it!"
"I've got it!"
"Remember..."
One after another, voices of agreement rang out.
Chen Hua took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging within him, and responded in kind.
"I've got it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, someone chuckled and said:
"Ha, Captain Shen, don't worry, I definitely won't forget these four points!"
"That's right!"
"So, it's finally time to kill those beasts...?"
"Just a little bit more!"
A calm voice rang out, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Chen Hua gazed in that direction.
In sight, the figure calmly stood up.
"Be safe..."
Chen Hua was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his face.
