69: Chapter 69 Slaughter

"Your Majesty... is it really alright for you to do this...?"

Elder Hua stood respectfully beside Tushan Qing, his finger having just lifted from a button on the control console.

On the control console's electronic screen, the expressions of Xing Yaoyan's trio as they discovered the Vicious Beast tide were captured in meticulous detail.

"It's fine, it's fine. Anyway, with the bracelets, they won't die."

The fan in Tushan Qing's hand swayed slightly, an interested look appearing on his face.

Xing Yan... where is your limit? After all, I truly want you to pass my 'Blood Refining'...

"Your Majesty... our energy is about to run out..."

Elder Hua's stammering voice suddenly came through.

"Hmm? I recall ordering Sun Wu to allocate one hundred million Spirit Crystals to you every year. Why can this surveillance screen only stay on for such a short time?"

"Uh..."

"You haven't embezzled it all, have you...?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Sun's heart skipped a beat.

"I've been wronged, Your Majesty! This place is quite a distance from the Beast Arena, and there's interference from the auras of Star Beasts and Vicious Beasts along the way. Being able to keep it on for this long is truly the best I could do..."

"Aiyaya, Beloved Minister Hua, I was just joking with you. Look how scared you are..."

Tushan Qing suddenly burst into laughter.

"Whew~"

Elder Hua secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Suddenly!

Tushan Qing leaned right into Elder Hua's ear, his voice like a demon's whisper.

"I know you've embezzled a total of 754.8 million over these ten years. If you want me to keep quiet, that's fine—just give me half..."

"Your Majesty... I understand..."

Elder Hua let out a heavy sigh.

The money I worked so hard to embezzle based on my own abilities...

While Tushan Qing was gloating over getting seven hundred million Spirit Crystals for free, Xing Yaoyan and the others on the other side were certainly not laughing.

"Roar!"

Almost the instant they saw the trio on the hillside, the Vicious Beasts below charged over at high speed, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.

"Watch out!"

Leng Xiaoyue was the first to shout a warning.

Although they held the high ground, looking at the black beast tide rushing toward them, his heart couldn't help but pound.

He had stayed from the end of last month until today before coming out, specifically timing it for a "Double Entry." Could it be that he was going to be forced out less than ten minutes after entering this time...?

"Meow~ Ah! What do we do? We're going to die!" Ying Linglong instantly hid behind Xing Yaoyan, clinging tightly to her thigh.

"Shut up, you won't die here. Our goal now is to see if we can find an opportunity to break out."

Being a veteran who visited often, Leng Xiaoyue calmly analyzed the situation.

As the rolling dust drew near, he could clearly sense that this was a beast tide composed of a large number of Rank Two and Rank Three Vicious Beasts.

With the strength of their current three-person team, they couldn't fight to the death; they could only fight while looking for a chance to retreat.

But then, his expression, which had been relatively calm, suddenly froze.

He saw that the White Wolf Girl, who had already turned into a little golden figure, was charging straight into the black beast tide.

As for Ying Linglong, she had just been tossed toward him by her and was still in mid-air.

"Sister Yan! Don't be impulsive!"

But at this moment, Xing Yaoyan could no longer hear his words clearly.

From her perspective, the menacing beast tide had actually turned into delicacies that made her Soul tremble with excitement.

A trace of bright red flashed through her golden pupils.

Although she had just eaten dinner not long ago, that had only filled her stomach. As long as she circulated the Star Swallowing Art, this food was even more effective than dozens of Spirit Crystals.

Xing Yaoyan also noticed that the aura emanating from these Vicious Beasts was exactly the same as that of the previous Little Chaos, radiating a repulsive scent.

But, so what...?

Does stinky tofu's smell affect its deliciousness?

On the contrary, it only further stimulates one's appetite...

Having adjusted her posture in the air and landed smoothly, Ying Linglong was about to complain about the White Wolf Girl's rough behavior, but she was instantly terrified when she saw her charging into the entire beast tide alone.

"Meow! Don't, Sister Yan, you'll disappear like this... Meow?"

The White Wolf Girl punched a lunging Rank Two Vicious Beast, making it explode. Then, she turned her fist into a claw and swung it to the side, causing a large number of Vicious Beasts wreathed in black Qi to explode one after another.

"Holy crap... Ying Linglong... did you know Sister Yan was this strong...?"

Leng Xiaoyue's heart was in turmoil.

Although those Rank Two Vicious Beasts were also beings he could kill in an instant, he could never do it as effortlessly as Xing Yaoyan.

These Vicious Beasts exploded upon contact with her fists, having no ability to resist at all; at the very least, he certainly couldn't blow them up directly.

What shocked him even more was that the black Qi of the dead Vicious Beasts, which should have dissipated into the air, was being continuously absorbed by the golden light on the White Wolf Girl along with the blood mist from their exploding bodies.

Over time, the golden light on the White Wolf Girl began to be laced with black and red, making her look like a demon god from Hell.

But she wasn't left in peace for long.

The Vicious Beasts had realized the magnitude of the threat Xing Yaoyan posed to them. They actually gave up on charging the other two on the slope and turned around to surround and kill her together.

"Ying Linglong, hurry! We have to go help her!"

But before he and Ying Linglong could take more than a few steps, two black figures, a size larger than the other Vicious Beasts, crashed down from the sky right in front of the two demons.

A Rank Three aura pressed down, forcing them back.

*Hiss~*

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Leng Xiaoyue's forehead.

He knew there were Rank Threes in the beast tide, but he hadn't expected them to be combat types.

"This is trouble..."

In the next moment, he felt over a dozen Rank Three auras suddenly erupt from within the beast tide besieging the White Wolf Girl...

Meanwhile, inside the beast tide.

Xing Yaoyan had already gone into a killing frenzy.

These little things died upon contact, which was not only stress-relieving but also allowed her to instantly absorb them using the Star Swallowing Art, converting them into her own Power Of Will.

Normally, she would never be able to absorb Rank Two Spirit Beasts so smoothly.

But the saving grace was the black Qi attached to the Vicious Beasts. It seemed to be a natural "appetizer" unique to her, directly multiplying her efficiency in digesting the spiritual power contained within the Spirit Beasts.

Before her was a blood-red ocean of malice, but this thing now seemed to have become ambient lighting for Xing Yaoyan's meal, greatly increasing her appetite.

But just as she was enjoying her meal and feeling the Power Of Will within her grow rapidly.

She suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Xing Yaoyan suddenly bent over without any warning.

She felt a violent fist-wind blow over her head, and the Rank Two Vicious Beasts in front of her were instantly hammered into meat patties, mashed together layer by layer.

But it wasn't over yet. The sound of breaking wind echoed beside her. Xing Yaoyan was about to sidestep, but countless vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, attempting to entwine her ankles.

In her haste, she instantly found the optimal solution.

The White Wolf Girl leaped into the air, crossing her arms and curling her entire body into a ball.

In the next second, a half-meter-long Bone Blade slashed onto her arms, sending Xing Yaoyan flying to the side like a streak of golden light.

The massive impact caused the Vicious Beasts along the path to turn into clouds of blood mist.

The golden meteor finally hit the ground, kicking up thick smoke.

The three Rank Three Vicious Beasts that had just performed the combined attack cautiously walked toward the smoke.

But soon, their bodies stiffened.

A golden figure gradually emerged from the thick smoke.

"Prey that can resist is only more interesting to eat..."
