255: Monster Suppression
An undercurrent surged within the Sealed Land.
Propelled by the leaders in the core region, every Yao Beast Royal Clan began to mobilize its forces, leading their Yao Beast armies towards the Southwest Area.
There were thirty-six Royal Clans in the Sealed Land, and each clan dispatched one hundred direct descendants, along with ten thousand affiliated Yao Beasts.
In total, this amounted to an army of three hundred and sixty thousand.
This number was comparable to a small beast tide.
Furthermore, in terms of combat power, it completely surpassed a small beast tide.
After all, in a small beast tide, the vast majority of Yao Beasts were in the Yuánqì Realm, whereas in the Sealed Land, the weakest Yao Beasts were in the Houtian Realm.
Such a scale of combat power could even contend with a Secluded Faction.
And this was not the entire combat power of the Sealed Land.
The intelligence Shen Xi initially received was incorrect; the number of Yao Beasts in the Sealed Land was at least over a million...
On the other side.
Shen Xi and his group had no idea that danger was imminent.
They were still methodically honing themselves by hunting Yao Beasts.
Unconsciously, the group had hunted over a thousand more Yao Beasts, but strangely, among these Yao Beasts, the number of Xiantian Realm Yao Beasts was extremely small.
"Have you noticed the problem?"
Finally, Shen Xi vaguely sensed that something was amiss and asked.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Could it be an ambush?"
Everyone asked, puzzled.
"Almost none of the Yao Beasts we've hunted in the past two days were in the Xiantian Realm."
Shen Xi couldn't help but frown.
Although they had hunted quite a few Yao Beasts, they had even encountered a Yao Beast team of three hundred.
Yet, strangely, almost none of these Yao Beasts were in the Xiantian Realm.
This was almost impossible before.
Any Yao Beast team exceeding fifty would have at least two to three Xiantian Realm Yao Beasts leading them.
A team of three hundred Yao Beasts should even have a Xiantian Transformation of Strength Realm Yao Beast leader personally leading them.
But now, there were none.
It was as if these Xiantian Realm Yao Beasts had all disappeared overnight.
"Brother Shen, I hadn't realized it until you mentioned it, these Yao Beasts are indeed too weak."
"That's right, they can't compare to the two-hundred-strong Yao Beast team we encountered two days ago; that group at least had a Xiantian Transformation of Strength Realm Yao Beast holding the fort."
"What exactly is going on?"
"Could it be that these Yao Beasts are all hiding?"
"Impossible. Although we've hunted quite a few Yao Beasts during this time, compared to the entire Sealed Land, it's just the tip of the iceberg. These Yao Beasts wouldn't have time to gather and hunt us; how could they be hiding?"
Everyone spoke up, chattering.
Understand?
Hearing this, Shen Xi's heart stirred.
"What if these Yao Beasts are gathering to launch a major encirclement against us?"
Shen Xi's keen perception greatly surprised Ling Feng, who had been secretly following them.
It hadn't expected the other party to pinpoint the crux of the problem with a single glance.
"All Xiantian Realm Yao Beasts have been mobilized to form a large army, intending to deliver a fatal blow to us!"
"Everyone retreat, move closer to the edge of the Sealed Land. If there's any unexpected situation, leave here."
An unusual event always indicates something abnormal.
Regardless of whether his guess was correct, Shen Xi immediately gave the order.
He would not gamble with his companions' lives.
Since he sensed something was wrong, for safety's sake, it was best to leave.
"But..."
The fatty was a bit anxious and couldn't help but speak.
They could leave, but Shen Xi no longer had the opportunity!
"Don't worry too much. Firstly, this is just my guess; things might not be so urgent. Secondly, even if it's true, I have means to protect myself. Didn't everyone leave their life-saving items with me?"
Shen Xi comforted everyone and was about to head towards the edge of the Sealed Land.
This made Ling Feng couldn't help but frown.
These guys, could they still leave the Sealed Land?
This shouldn't be!
According to various investigations, this group of humans should have already used their three chances to enter and exit.
That's right!
They still didn't know about the three-time limit for the Sealed Land, so they placed their hopes on leaving the Sealed Land.
Ling Feng found what it considered a reasonable explanation.
This made it couldn't help but show a brilliant smile.
It began to look forward to what kind of expressions these humans would show when they realized they couldn't leave the Sealed Land.
That would surely be spectacular!
"I wonder how their gathering is progressing? Two days should be enough!"
Ling Feng muttered to himself.
At this point, two days had passed since it planned to use the Flame Demon Royal Clan as cannon fodder to pit them against the humans.
The Yao Beast armies dispatched by the various Royal Clans had also mostly gathered.
Here, Shen Xi and his group finally realized something was amiss and retreated to the edge of the Sealed Land.
There, the three hundred and sixty thousand Yao Beast army had already assembled, and according to the messages Ling Feng sent back along the way, they were following Shen Xi and his group's footsteps, just approaching...
Another half a day passed.
The Yao Beast army finally arrived at the edge of the Sealed Land.
The vast army, a dense black mass, stretched as far as the eye could see, all Yao Beasts.
Anyone with weaker psychological endurance would surely feel dizzy and faint from fright.
"Damn it, these Yao Beasts really did plan something big."
Chen Fang couldn't help but curse.
Fortunately, Shen Xi was alert enough to discover something was wrong in advance, and they retreated in time.
Otherwise, if they were still in the central region, surrounded by so many Yao Beasts, they would undoubtedly die.
But now, with their backs to the Seal, they could leave the Sealed Land at any time.
"There must be three or four hundred thousand Yao Beasts here! The number of Yao Beasts in the Sealed Land is even more than we estimated."
"We can leave anytime, but what about Brother Shen?"
"Fight! We'll find a way to carve out a bloody path!"
"Fight!"
Everyone's eyes were red, and their Battle Intent was boiling.
Although they had a way out, they didn't want to abandon Shen Xi.
They could just pack up and leave, but what about Shen Xi?
It should be known that the reason Shen Xi had one less chance to enter and exit the Sealed Land than them was for their safety, as he had entered the Sealed Land first to scout the way.
Furthermore, everyone was as clear as a mirror in their hearts: if Shen Xi hadn't entered the Sealed Land first, giving these Yao Beasts incorrect information and making them mistakenly believe that everyone had no chance to enter and exit the Sealed Land, prompting the army to move, then the Yao Beasts would have waited until they also had no chance to enter and exit before launching a full-scale attack.
At that time, they would also have no retreat.
