Facing the Beast Tide!

After their private conversation, the two beasts parted ways.

Half a month later, a three-pronged attack will launch, resulting in a massive horde of beasts!

Wanxiang's decision to ease pressure on the western route is equivalent to reducing pressure on one route, but the threats from the southern and eastern routes remain significant.

The Venomous Flood Dragon King is a level seven demon. If a real fight breaks out, Shi Jian is confident that he can hold him off or even suppress him. However, holding him off and killing him are two different things. If he gets entangled by this Poison Flood Dragon and can't get away, the battlefield below will collapse.

There are also the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon and the Jade Wave Flood Dragon, two Fifth-Level Demon General. Sun Chengzu can barely handle one, but what about the other?

Then there's the Bee Queen's Mingshui, and the sheer number of insect swarms is terrifying; once it spreads out, even a Qi Refining simply can't withstand it...

Shi Jian returned to Abundant Water Lake, went straight into his cave abode, lay down on the central point of the formation, and began to calculate his troop strength.

After calculating, we're still short one person.

Or rather, they're missing a bear!

"Lord Rat."

Outside the cave abode, the waiting Lord Rat pricked up its ears. "Your subordinate is here."

"Send this message to the Supreme Purity Sect on my behalf."

The Lord Rat paused for a moment, then realized. "Give it to the Shi Yin Clan Master?"

"Um."

Shi Jian hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

The Lord Rat understood perfectly. Although he was somewhat surprised that his ancestor would actually ask for this, upon further reflection, he found it reasonable.

Shi Yin is now Golden Core demon, holding the title of "Sect Guardian Spirit Beast" of the Supreme Purity Sect, and is living a very comfortable life.

But deep down, he was still a descendant whom Shi Jian had personally nurtured. Although he was not Shi Jian's biological son, they were not much different.

Since the patriarch had spoken, there was no reason for him not to come.

"Understood."

The Lord Rat acknowledged and then retreated. He had been running errands and delivering messages for two hundred years, and his choice of words was now second nature.

That same evening, after the letter was sent out, Shi Jian summoned Sun Chengzu and Golden Crocodile together.

As night deepened, the three Golden Core gathered on a small island in Abundant Water Lake.

"In half a month, the other three Demon Race in the Evil Water Marsh will join forces to launch a beast tide."

Shi Jian laid out the intelligence. Although Golden Crocodile and Sun Chengzu were surprised that Shi Jian had been able to find out the information in advance, they were both smart people and did not ask any questions.

The Golden Crocodile lay in the water, half its head above water, and after listening, it snorted.

"That worm, the Venomous Flood Dragon King, has long disliked the Northern Region."

"A three-pronged attack? They're certainly willing to invest heavily."

Sun Chengzu, holding his sword, sat on a rock, his gaze fixed on the lake:

"Ancestor, do we have a chance of winning?"

"At the Golden Core level, the opposing side has five on the surface, but in actual combat, there are probably four." Shi Jian didn't explain why it was four, "On our side, including Shi Yin, there are also four."

"Four against four?"

"Shi Yin? Who is that? Golden Core with the same surname as you, could he be one of your descendants or clansmen?"

The Golden Crocodile slapped its tail on the water's surface. "Wouldn't that make it a 50/50 chance?"

"What you said isn't wrong."

"Although Shi Yin wasn't personally appointed by me, he's not far off. He's the second Golden Core Bear Demon of my Bear Clan."

"As for that Venomous Flood Dragon King, he is, after all, a level seven Demon Beast and belongs to the Flood Dragon family. I will at least not lose if I face him. As for the outcome, I can't be sure since we haven't fought him..."

"At that time, Shi Yin will deal with the Red-Scaled Flood Dragon, Golden Crocodile, with your strong physique and skill in water combat, will deal with the Jade Wave Flood Dragon, Chengzu will intercept the Bee Queen."

Sun Chengzu frowned. "The Bee Queen is level five, not very strong, but the swarm..."

"You don't need to kill her, just stall her."

"The insect swarm problem can be handled by the subordinates. Abundant Water City's defensive formations are not just for show."

"As long as the battlefield at the Golden Core level doesn't collapse, it doesn't matter how many more people die below."

"To those of us who have reached the Golden Core stage, those ordinary Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators are nothing more than crops of leeks. Once they die, they die, just like weeds that spring up again with the spring breeze, endlessly regenerating."

Although the words were spoken coldly, all three people present knew that this was the truth.

The real battle is between Golden Core cultivators.

The battles between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below are nothing more than a war of attrition. Whoever can't hold on any longer will run away first, and if they run away, they lose...

"There's one more thing."

Shi Jian's gaze swept over the Golden Crocodile: "Those Foundation Establishment crocodile demons in your clan will also be needed in this battle. You have to contribute something, don't you?"

Golden Crocodile's pupils contracted slightly. "What for?"

"There are at least a hundred Foundation Establishment Water Dragons from the opposing Flood Dragon Python Clan, plus the Foundation Establishment Bee Soldiers of the Bee Queen, and Foundation Establishment Great Demons from various smaller clans."

"The number of Foundation Establishment is at least two hundred."

"Relying solely on White Cloud Temple and its hundred or so Foundation Establishment cultivators is not enough."

"Your five crocodile beast lineages, thirty-one Foundation Establishment level demons, plus the bear, canine, and rat demons from the White Cloud Temple, together they can barely fight at the Foundation Establishment level."

The Golden Crocodile remained silent for a few moments. Was he really going to let his people fight for Human Race?

Six months ago, he would have immediately turned hostile if he had said that.

But now he understands that this is not a war fought for the Human Race, but to protect the Northern Region and the new home of his five crocodile beast lineages.

The Abundant Water Lake was destroyed, and his people had to return to the poisonous miasma and eat mud.

"OK."

Golden Crocodile agreed without further ado.

"Also, tell your little brats that after this battle, those who survive will be rewarded, with plenty of resources!"

What will be the reward?

"In the White Cloud Temple Temple's storeroom, there's still a batch of Beast-Nurturing Pill and Blood Essence. After the battle, each Foundation Establishment level demon that participated will receive three portions."

The Golden Crocodile's eyes lit up.

Three portions of Beast-Nurturing Pill are enough for a Foundation Establishment Great Demon to digest for several years. This is a good thing, although Beast-Nurturing Pill are not unique items.

However, the Sun Clan has been studying this elixir for one or two hundred years, and they have long since mastered its intricacies.

It has all kinds of effects and is specially designed for Demon Beast beasts. It is one of the best cultivation materials for Demon Beast to advance!

It has to be said, Shi Jian is really willing to spend resources!
