60: The beast tide receded

Mianling Ghost Tree saw Jiang Nan standing in the air, and its multiple faces turned green with rage:

"Dammit, it's one thing to have a few extra Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers, but a King-level Beast Tamer actually showed up?"

"This is too much!"

Looking back, Mianling Ghost Tree considered whether to wake up those Yao Kings.

"Forget it, forget it, everyone retreat!"

Mianling Ghost Tree issued a series of commands, and the Goat Monster, Black Slime Worm King, and others retreated into the mist one by one.

The Bloodthirsty Moss still on the front lines quickly devoured all the blood, then attached itself to the Earth-Splitting Demon Worm King and disappeared into the ground.

The beast herd at the scene finally came to their senses at this moment; realizing Jiang Nan was standing in the air, they began to flee in all directions.

Just like that, because of Jiang Nan's appearance, the beast tide retreated!

Subsequently, the Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers returned to the city one by one.

"Old Xing, are you okay?" Cheng Jingjing saw Xing Shaoshan's left arm bleeding and his face looking pale, so she quickly summoned the Green Wood Spirit Ape to treat him.

Xing Shaoshan shook his head: "Haven't seen you in a year, I didn't expect that beast's Soul Dao to have improved again. I almost fell for its trick."

Cheng Jingjing looked at the others: "What about you guys? Is anyone else injured?"

Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers were currently high-end combat power for humanity; one person could be worth hundreds or thousands of High-level Beastmasters, so there was no room for error.

The others all shook their heads, indicating they weren't injured.

Only Xie Xun shook his arm and cursed: "Damn it, you guys don't know how annoying that Lantern Monster is."

"It can actually summon Underworld Ghost Soldiers to fight, and it has the Power of Curses. I almost died there!"

Whether it was Cheng Jingjing, Chen Qingyun, or the others, they all had means to counter their enemies.

Only the Ghost System that Xie Xun mentioned made everyone present look a bit solemn.

To break the heavy atmosphere, Su Shanhai and Uncle Fu each brought out a body.

It was the Mystic Tiger Skeleton and the Green Shadow Hairy Zombie.

These two were dead things after all, controlled by Necromancy System skills. Their combat thinking and adaptability weren't as spiritual as when they were alive.

Other entities weren't so easy to deal with. Even when they summoned four beast pets at once to fight, they only barely managed a draw.

This showed how powerful these Evil Beasts were.

"Not bad, you actually killed two. This battle wasn't a loss!"

"Loss my ass. There are more and more powerful entities in the mist, while humanity's effective forces are only so many. We'll be worn down sooner or later."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere turned cold again!

Xie Xun scratched his head. Was he the king of killing the mood?

Chen Qingyun didn't refute; he supported Xie Xun's viewpoint: "Old Xie is right. The beast tide retreated so quickly this time because of King Jiang's help."

"Otherwise, this battle would still be ongoing."

"So all things considered, we actually lost."

"We exposed more of our strength."

"Yet we still know nothing about our enemies or the Level 5 Beasts."

After chatting a bit more, the group dispersed.

Some helped the wounded, others cleaned the battlefield, killing the Black Slime Worm King spores that hadn't died yet to prevent any spore from floating into the city... Deep in the Baiyue Mountain Range!

Goat Monster, Lantern Monster, Mianling Ghost Tree, Black Slime Worm King, Bloodthirsty Moss, and Earth-Splitting Demon Worm King gathered together.

In fact, these six were the core of the Level 4 Evil Beasts. Others were either stitched together, controlled, or summoned by the undead... The beasts quietly watched Mianling Ghost Tree stitch back the head of the Six-Headed Demon Leopard that had been knocked off.

They couldn't help but say enviously:

"The Stitching Skill bestowed by the King is really useful."

"It's a pity I haven't seen the King for a long time, otherwise I'd want to ask for it too."

"I want the King to help me stitch on some other control-type abilities, otherwise, relying only on Soul power, I still let that Xing Shaoshan escape."

"..."

After finishing the stitching, Mianling Ghost Tree looked at everyone:

"Moss, Black Slime Worm King, how was the harvest this time? Is it enough for you to promote to Yao King?"

Bloodthirsty Moss sighed: "Still a bit short. The blood of low-level Yao Beasts is enough, but what I lack now is high-quality stuff."

"If I could absorb the blood of Xing Shaoshan, Chen Qingyun, and those others, as well as their beast pets' blood, it should be about enough."

Black Slime Worm King said the same: "I'm also just short of some stronger life force with higher Aptitude."

Mianling Ghost Tree pondered for a moment before speaking: "That King-level Beast Tamer probably won't leave so soon, so it's unlikely we can lure another beast tide."

"How about this, go to the neighboring war zones to pick up some bargains, and come back after you've promoted to Yao King."

So!

This beast tide wasn't really meant to attack Baiyue City, but to prepare blood food for Bloodthirsty Moss and Black Slime Worm King.

Whether it was Yao Beasts or humans, they could all become their nourishment.

The truth was just that cruel and heartless.

"As for Goat, Lantern, and Earth-Splitting, you guys should also hurry up."

"When everyone promotes to Yao King, that will be the time to truly launch an assault on Baiyue City."

"Don't keep the King waiting too long..."

Following the Eighth District's beast tide, the other eleven districts also launched small-scale beast tides one after another.

But only the Eighth District was best prepared and had the fewest casualties.

The most serious was the Second District, where more than half of the soldiers died, and three Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers also perished.

The entire city was directly paralyzed and needed follow-up forces to replenish it.

However!

With such a serious incident, how many Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers would dare risk death to guard the city?

"I can go, but my daughter is only 6 years old. At least let me stay with her until her childhood is over."

"I'm not going. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Wouldn't it be more useful to have King-level Beast Tamers guard the city?"

"I'll go. Anyway, I'm all alone with no attachments!"

In most people's eyes, guarding the city meant dancing on a knife's edge, risking one's life at any time.

At this moment, it was a contest between selfishness and courage.

Adding fuel to the fire, the force hidden behind the humans' rear moved.

Tang Jian, Su Can, and Jiang Yiyi were assassinated again.

Jiang Yiyi escaped unharmed, but the other two were a bit miserable, once again being seriously injured.

Tang Siyuan and Su Shanhai were furious.

Su Shanhai slammed the table hard: "We are at the front lines protecting all living beings, yet they stab us in the back? Assassinating our descendants."

"Is this something fellow humans would do?"

"They're worse than beasts!"

Tang Siyuan didn't calm down either: "This is a threat, a blatant threat!"

"As long as we dare to come and support, they dare to target our families."

"A bunch of frantic lunatics. One day, I will burn them all to ashes!"

Even Jiang Nan, who was usually calm and composed, had a gloomy face.

Even knowing this was an obvious and heart-piercing scheme, he still couldn't control the anger in his heart.

They could risk their lives for humanity, but they would never allow someone to stab them in the back.

"Activate all connections and all forces. Investigate this to the end..."
