123: Chapter 123 Beast Tide Branch, Stomping the Beast King to Death

After Lin Yuan finished off these dozen or so fierce beasts, he looked toward that captain.

At this moment, over thirty soldiers were staring at him with their mouths wide open in disbelief. Lin Yuan smiled slightly and spoke:

“Is everyone alright?”

The captain was the first to react, saying in shock, “You... you're that Little Brother who wants to join the army. You're actually this powerful? What level are you?”

“Not high, just the Fifth Order.”

Lin Yuan spoke the truth about his martial arts cultivation. He wasn't lying; his Martial Arts Level was indeed at the Fifth Order Early Stage. There was no need to be too specific about his actual combat power.

“Fi... Fifth Order? That high...”

The soldiers let out a collective gasp of surprise; Lin Yuan simply looked far too young...

There were many experts above the Fifth Order in the military, but every single one of them was over forty years old.

“Thank you for lending a hand, Little Brother. Otherwise, our squad would have been wiped out just now.”

The captain gave Lin Yuan a military salute and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Yuan followed suit, also giving a military salute, and said clearly, “Captain, you're welcome. Can you take me to register for the army now?”

“Little Brother, my name is Li Chifeng, and I'm the squad captain. How should I address you?” Li Chifeng asked heartily.

“Hello, Captain Li. I am Lin Yuan.”

“It's like this, Brother Lin. We still need to rush to a beast tide attack point a kilometer away to participate in the mission to block the tide. You aren't an official soldier yet, so how about you go to the Regimental Headquarters at the Third Fissure to register first?” Li Chifeng explained.

Lin Yuan shook his head without hesitation. He certainly couldn't miss out on a beast tide; there was no rush to register.

“Captain Li, I'll go with you guys to take a look and see if I can be of any help,” Lin Yuan said immediately.

“This...”

Li Chifeng was suddenly in a difficult position. After all, Lin Yuan wasn't an official military soldier yet. If he took him to the battlefield and something went wrong, how would he explain it?

“Captain Li, you've seen it too, I have some strength. An extra person means an extra bit of power,” Lin Yuan continued.

In truth, even if Li Chifeng didn't agree, he would still go. However, that was a battlefield after all, not a place for him to play the lone hero. The military had its rules, but if he acted under an official banner, it would be more convenient to operate.

“Captain, just let Brother Lin come along. With Brother Lin there, our chances of repelling the beast tide will be even greater.”

“Yeah, Captain, Brother Lin will be one of our own brothers sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with him getting used to the battlefield in advance, right?”

“That's right, Captain. Don't some Freelance Martial Artists also come to help our military? Just let Brother Lin join us.”

Hearing his team members' words, Li Chifeng immediately made up his mind. Resisting the beast tide was the top priority. Since that was the case, he would let Lin Yuan go with them.

“Alright! Brother Lin, from now on you're one of our own. Come along then. If we can handle it, you won't need to act; just familiarize yourself with the battlefield.”

“Alright, Captain Li, then let's go.”

Afterward, the team members drank the healing potions they carried, then lined up and continued their march in a disciplined manner.

Lin Yuan swallowed the surrounding soul bodies and followed unhurriedly at the back of the group.

On the way, Captain Li briefed him on the situation of the beast tide.

This beast tide was merely a branch of the main tide. The main force of the Regimental Headquarters was currently fighting the main beast tide. After these days of effort, they had already blocked the main tide within the fissure.

Those that rushed out of the fissure and into the city were only some scattered branches of low-order fierce beasts. These branches relied on the troops stationed outside to be eliminated.

Eliminating these branches also served as an adaptation phase for new recruits entering the battlefield for the first time.

Before long, the squad arrived at the beast tide attack point, where several squads were already resisting the tide.

Lin Yuan took a rough glance; there were at least several hundred fierce beasts. Their strength was mostly at the Second or Third Order, with a few Fourth Order ones mixed in.

“Brother Lin, just watch for now. We'll go first. If there are beasts we can't handle, then you can step in,” Li Chifeng instructed Lin Yuan.

“Mm, I understand,” Lin Yuan nodded.

“Captain Li, you're here! Get up here and take over!” in another squad, a man who looked like a captain shouted toward them.

Li Chifeng immediately led his men into the fray, while the shouting captain directly led his own squad to pull back.

“Brothers, hurry and recover! Although we arrived first, as long as the beast tide doesn't retreat, we won't retreat! Once you've recovered, keep killing for me!” that captain shouted to his team.

“Yes!”

The soldiers sat down where they were, immediately taking out supplies and potions to begin recovering their strength.

When that captain turned around and saw Lin Yuan standing there, he immediately frowned:

“This Li Chifeng is being too reckless, actually bringing a youngster along. Who's responsible if something happens?”

Lin Yuan was somewhat speechless and said calmly, “Captain, I'm here to register for the army. Captain Li couldn't spare the time, so he brought me along to familiarize myself with the battlefield in advance.”

“Nonsense! This Li Chifeng... when I get back to the Regimental Headquarters, I'll definitely report this truthfully. This is simply not taking your life seriously.”

“Uh... Captain, this isn't Captain Li's fault. I insisted on coming. I'll be responsible for my own safety,” Lin Yuan said with a smile.

“Hmph! Don't say I didn't warn you. Stand here and don't run around, and don't cause trouble for your Captain Li,” the captain snorted coldly and went to the side to recover.

“Little Brother, don't blame Captain Wang. He just has a foul mouth, but he's actually a very good person,” a soldier leaned over to Lin Yuan and said.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded with a smile. He naturally knew that this Captain Wang was also worried about his safety.

Just then, a massive beast roar drew everyone's attention.

A giant rhinoceros-shaped fierce beast, over ten meters tall and dozens of meters long, came crashing through everything in its path.

Judging by this beast's aura, it had definitely reached the peak of the Fourth Order. Among all the squads present, the highest cultivation was only at the Fourth Order Early Stage. How could they possibly withstand such a terrifying beast?

“It's a Beast King! Everyone below the Third Order, retreat immediately!!”

The only Fourth Order Early Stage captain roared at the people behind him. He gripped his battle saber tightly, and his already burly body swelled once more. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and even his height shot up to over two and a half meters.

It was likely a Power-Enhancement Type Ability. Behind him, over a dozen Third Order martial warriors holding battle sabers also closed in.

“Hold the line!”

The dozen or so people immediately swarmed toward the giant rhinoceros, but in the next second...

BOOM!!

The dozen people were instantly sent flying by the rhinoceros's impact. Except for the Fourth Order Early Stage captain, who barely supported himself with his weapon while kneeling on one knee and spitting blood, everyone else was down and out, clearly having lost the ability to fight further.

Among the dozen people on the ground was naturally Li Chifeng. He struggled to roll over, looked toward Lin Yuan's position, and gave Lin Yuan a heavy nod.

Lin Yuan understood and began walking toward the rhinoceros giant step by step. He could now take action with a valid reason.

Just then—

“AHHH!!! I'll fight you to the death!!”

A loud shout rang out as Captain Wang charged toward the rhinoceros giant with his battle saber, looking ready to risk his life.

Lin Yuan shook his head; he wasn't going to let Captain Wang be heavily injured.

He immediately tapped the ground lightly and took flight, soaring over Captain Wang's head and landing directly on top of the rhinoceros giant's head.

Captain Wang was about to risk his life against the beast when he was stunned to find someone flying over his head and landing on the beast. When he saw Lin Yuan's face clearly, he was instantly horrified.

“Kid, have you lost your mind?!!”

But in the next second, his eyes widened.

Lin Yuan had a faint smile on his face. With his hands behind his back, he slowly raised one foot and then slammed it down.

BOOM!!

A golden shockwave suddenly exploded on the rhinoceros's massive head.

The rhinoceros giant let out a mournful wail, and its massive body slammed flat onto the ground, motionless, kicking up clouds of dust.

On its massive head, there wasn't the slightest wound, yet blood was gushing from its seven orifices...
