58: Support to
Although Sky Techniques are powerful, they aren't sustainable, and such large-scale area-of-effect skills require a significant amount of Spiritual Qi and elemental power.
To condense the next wave of Sky Technique attacks, one would have to wait at least two or three minutes.
And at this moment, the beast tide truly began its fierce onslaught.
The first to approach were still the poisonous insects in the sky.
Since the humans could use Sky Techniques, the poisonous insect swarms naturally could as well; poison mist and venom were sprayed out all at once, and the city walls were soon shrouded in multi-colored toxic clouds.
"Little Gu, Devour!"
This situation was unavoidable, so Chen Fei could only let Little Gu and the Third-Generation Bugs absorb as much as they could.
On the human side, casualties inevitably began to occur.
Not all High-level Beastmasters possessed the same extraordinary combat power and poison resistance as Chen Fei.
Not to mention the even weaker Intermediate Beast Masters.
"Quick, quick, quick, drag him into the treatment room!"
"Where are Chen Fei's Gu insects? We need to detoxify him immediately!"
"Don't throw away that severed arm, I have a way to heal it!"
"..."
The medical team began to play their role at this critical moment.
Suddenly, a roar resounded through the clouds:
"Luan Feng, use a gale to blow this mist away for me!"
Cheng Jingjing had her Nine-Star Wind Luan flap its wings to gather wind power, then used [Wind's Dispersal] to blow the poison mist back toward the beast tide.
At the critical moment, they still had to rely on a Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer to save the situation.
Otherwise, for the humans, it wouldn't have been as simple as just a few deaths.
"Jie jie jie... Has the Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer finally made a move?" All the faces on the Mianling Ghost Tree mocked in unison.
"If I remember correctly, this is the head of the humans' medical department.
Mist-Wind Poison Owl, go meet her!
Poison-type versus healing, how interesting!"
An eagle-type Yao Beast took flight, shuttling through the wind at extreme speeds to get closer.
"Screech—"
A telepathic voice reached Cheng Jingjing's mind: "Human, follow me to the side. I believe you don't want to fight here either, do you?"
Cheng Jingjing indeed did not want to!
Fighting here, even the residual aftershocks of their skills could potentially harm their own people.
"Let's go!"
Cheng Jingjing followed the Nine-Star Wind Luan and headed to another battlefield with the Mist-Wind Poison Owl.
After they vanished, the Goat Monster holding a sickle stood in mid-air, coldly crossing its arms.
It knew someone would come to stop it!
Xing Shaoshan sighed softly, "I'll go. It's an old rival!"
Just like Cheng Jingjing, they also headed to another battlefield.
"Roar!" A dragon's roar echoed, causing the morale of the beast pets on the city wall to drop significantly.
It came from a member of the sub-dragon family, a Scorching Hell Sound Dragon, a being that specialized in sonic-type skills.
"Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat, Sonic Barrier!"
After providing the guards with a Sonic Barrier, Chen Qingyun knew it was his turn to fight.
Watching Chen Qingyun and the Scorching Hell Sound Dragon disappear from the spot, Chen Fei felt a wave of worry for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, Chen Qingyun didn't meet with an accident during this particular beast tide; otherwise, Chen Fei would have certainly made preparations beforehand.
As Chen Qingyun left, a strange creature appeared with a red lantern on its head and a human-like lower body.

...]
Chen Fei's first impression after reading: Eerie, far too eerie!
He had heard of the Curse System and Summoning System.
But this Ghost System was something Chen Fei had never even heard of.
This fellow definitely did not belong to this continent.
Cheng Jingjing, Chen Qingyun, and Xing Shaoshan had all gone out; Xia Zhixue was primarily support-oriented and certainly couldn't fight.
The only person left on the surface was Xie Xun.
Chen Fei quickly sent a telepathic message to Xie Xun: "Minister Xie, be careful of that monster. It likely possesses the Ghost and Curse Systems."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xun clearly paused for a moment, then took a deep look at Chen Fei.
"Thanks. With this information, I know what to do!"
Xie Xun and the Treacherous Heart Lantern Monster also sought out a separate battlefield.
"Heh heh heh... Now there are no experts left in the city, right?" The Mianling Ghost Tree looked at the towering city wall and didn't think it would be very difficult to breach.
"Go, Six-Headed Demon Leopard, Black Tiger Skeleton, and Green Shadow Hairy Zombie!"
The Six-Headed Demon Leopard was a Flesh Golem, directly stitched together with six heads. Its Aptitude was at S-grade, but its strength was at Level 4, Rank 5. Combined with several times more Spiritual Qi than other Fourth-Level Beasts, it was another tough nut to crack.
The Black Tiger possessed a trace of the White Tiger's Bloodline and was an S-grade being. The one before them was a skeleton, likely controlled by some secret technique from the Mianling Ghost Tree's side, which also gave it undead attributes, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Finally, the Green Shadow Hairy Zombie was a rare existence of the Zombie System.
Level 1 Purple Zombie, Level 2 Black and White Zombie, Level 3 Green Zombie, Level 4 Hairy Zombie, and Level 5 Flying Zombie.
The Green Shadow Hairy Zombie corresponded to a Fourth-Level Beast. The most terrifying aspect of such special existences was their complete lack of fear toward pain.
Without a Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer coming over, it was simply impossible to deal with them.
The moment these three stepped onto the battlefield, everyone felt a wave of despair:
"The department heads have all left. Who is going to stop these three Fourth-Level Beasts!"
"Why does the mist always produce such weird things? First zombies and skeletons, will it be demons and angels next?"
"Is that the point? The point is, who is going to block them?"
Deng Ying and some other soldiers who were about to step into the Grandmaster Level were ready to act at any moment.
They didn't know how long they could hold out, but they couldn't just stand by and watch their troops be slaughtered.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Before the person arrived, their voice reached them first.
Chen Fei was startled; he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
In the next instant, a figure arrived beside Chen Fei: "Little guy, we meet again."
Chen Fei turned to look and exclaimed in surprise, "Principal, why are you here!"
After asking this question, Chen Fei felt he was being a bit foolish.
A while ago, he had shared the vision of the Mianling Ghost Tree and other monsters with Xing Shaoshan and the others; how could they not have made some preparations?
Since Tianqing City was relatively close to Baiyue City and they had many acquaintances there, they would certainly prioritize seeking help from Tianqing City.
Su Shanhai laughed heartily. "Little guy, you actually didn't come to the special training!
Forget it, we'll chat later. Time to get to work now!"
Although he wasn't a King-level Beast Tamer, he was at least an established Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer. Facing these Fourth-Level Beasts, he was more than up to the task.
"You... that's right, I'm talking to you, you green-haired old turtle. Come with me and let's have a fight elsewhere!"
Su Shanhai taunted the Green Shadow Hairy Zombie as he led it away.
A moment later, another figure arrived on the city wall. "My son, Tang Jian, asked me to bring a message. When can you two have another match?"
Looking at this kind-faced man with a buzz cut, Chen Fei realized he didn't recognize him!
"I am Tang Jian's father!"
Oh!
Chen Fei had a bit of an impression now. "Sorry, but your son probably still isn't my match."
"Hahaha..." Tang Siyuan laughed loudly. "You little guy, you're arrogant enough! Let's talk more later, I'm going to meet them too!"
"You six-headed freak, follow me!"
Whether it was Tang Siyuan or Su Shanhai, they weren't polite to them at all.
The last person to arrive was someone Chen Fei also knew; it was surprisingly Uncle Fu from the Jiang Family.
Uncle Fu simply nodded to Chen Fei before leading the Black Tiger Skeleton away.
In this way, the battlefield temporarily regained its balance..."}],
