552: Overlord-level beast

Maple Leaf looked up to see Mi approaching.

“Sorry to disturb you, Maple Leaf,” Mi said to Maple Leaf apologetically when he saw her open her eyes.

“It’s no trouble. Do you need something, Mi?” Maple Leaf shook her head slightly, then asked him.

“Nothing really, just came over to chat a bit…” Mi said with a smile.

“Hmm…” Maple Leaf touched her nose upon hearing Mi’s words, unsure of what to say.

After all, she wasn't much of a conversationalist herself.

“Are you used to staying here?” Mi asked Maple Leaf with a smile.

“It’s alright,” Maple Leaf nodded.

“Is the Beast Tide putting pressure on you?” Mi asked again.

“No,” Maple Leaf nodded honestly.

“I never expected your strength to be so formidable!” Mi said to Maple Leaf with some emotion, “As you just learned, this Beast Tide is a bit different from previous years… and you’re charging at the very front, so you must be extra careful!”

“Thank you, I know,” Maple Leaf nodded, accepting Mi’s good intentions.

“Actually, there are many things I’m curious about regarding you… Although I shouldn’t ask, I still want to… What was your original tribe? With your immense strength, why did you leave your tribe? And I see your attire and demeanor are somewhat out of place with ours…” Mi said to Maple Leaf.

“Hmm…” Maple Leaf pondered for a moment upon hearing Mi’s words, “You should know about this after this Beast Tide ends.”

“Is that so…” Mi listened to Maple Leaf’s words, lowered his head, thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “Alright, get some good rest! The next wave of the Beast Tide will be a tough fight.”

With that, Mi turned and left.

Did Mi discover something? Or did he mean something else? Maple Leaf narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Mi’s retreating figure.

She didn't want any more complications.

For her own sake, and for the sake of the Tianjing Tribe…

After all, if there were any more delays, Big Sister Head would be arriving soon.

… … … …

Maple Leaf opened her eyes; today was the third wave of the Beast Tide, and also the day the first major wave of the Beast Tide would strike.

“It’s the third wave of the Beast Tide!” Maple Leaf’s eyes gleamed; the end was getting closer.

Maple Leaf stepped out.

Rumble! The ground trembled.

The third wave of the Beast Tide had arrived!

So many! The numbers were incredibly high!

They looked even denser than the first two waves!

They truly surged forth like a tide.

“Elite-level fierce beasts!” Maple Leaf spotted elite-level fierce beasts mixed within the Beast Tide.

Just in this initial wave, Maple Leaf saw at least ten elite-level fierce beasts!

This number far exceeded the number of elite-level fierce beasts in the previous wave!

“Kill!!!” The warriors of the Tianjing Tribe roared; no matter how strong the fierce beasts were, during the Hunting Celebration, they were the most Brave Warriors! Fearless! Not afraid of death!

Maple Leaf led the charge, still at the very front.

She plunged directly into the midst of the Beast Tide.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Maple Leaf immediately began mowing them down like grass.

Elite-level fierce beasts couldn't stop her.

After everyone had been fighting for nearly ten minutes.

The number of fierce beasts that had slipped through was at least double that of the previous day’s wave.

Fortunately, those that slipped through went towards the surroundings, not towards the Tianjing Tribe.

This direction was, after all, guarded by warriors.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, loud noises came from Shou Chao Valley.

At the same time, a powerful and ferocious aura erupted.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards it.

A giant silver-furred gorilla, eight meters tall, leaped out of the valley.

It didn't care where it landed; even the ordinary fierce beasts were directly trampled into a bloody mess.

“Roar!!!” The gorilla roared, like King Kong.

“This… This is an Overlord-level fierce beast!” The warriors were all greatly alarmed; in previous years, they only appeared in the final wave! Now, one had appeared in the third wave!

Overlord-level fierce beasts! They are a level above elite-level fierce beasts!

Every Overlord-level fierce beast, just like its name suggests, is an Overlord!

Their strength is at least at the Brave Warrior level!

Moreover, Overlord-level fierce beasts represent a qualitative leap.

Under normal circumstances, while warriors and elite-level fierce beasts of the same level might differ in physique, with the enhancement of combat skills and the like, in a 1v1, the warrior holds a great advantage! Even 1v2 is not a problem.

However, at the Overlord level, the situation dramatically shifts.

One Overlord-level fierce beast fighting three, or even five Brave Warrior-level warriors, is not a problem at all!

Their physiques are too powerful! And they possess various unique innate abilities!

Maple Leaf’s face lit up with joy when she saw this giant gorilla.

A great contribution! Maple Leaf didn't care what kind of fierce beast it was! Just get it done!

Maple Leaf charged directly towards the King Kong.

“Be careful, Maple Leaf! That’s an Overlord-level fierce beast!” Qing couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw Maple Leaf charging directly forward.

They were always cautious when facing Overlord-level fierce beasts! Usually, three Brave Warrior-level powerhouses would go up against one.

And it would be the stronger Brave Warriors who went to fight, and even then, they would just test the waters.

If it was too strong, other Brave Warrior-level warriors would have to be sent to assist.

But in that case, the pressure on the defense line would increase significantly.

In the past, the most casualties occurred in the final wave, when Overlord-level fierce beasts appeared.

But this time… one appeared in the third wave! They couldn't imagine what the situation would be like in the fourth and fifth waves.

Maple Leaf heard Qing’s shout, but she ignored it.

Feeling the terrifying aura from the King Kong, and the bloody, savage, and ferocious aura from the fierce beast.

Maple Leaf’s fighting spirit soared!

Martial Will surged around her.

A faceless humanoid phantom appeared on her body.

What if it’s an Overlord-level fierce beast? I am a Valkyrie!

“Roar!!!” The King Kong looked at Maple Leaf charging towards it, and it sensed her pure fighting intent! Involuntarily, its eyes focused solely on Maple Leaf.

This was a powerful challenger!

The King Kong charged fiercely towards Maple Leaf.

The Martial Will phantom on Maple Leaf’s body was also over three meters tall.

However, compared to the eight-meter-tall King Kong, it appeared relatively small.

The large and small figures collided with a thunderous crash.

Boom!!!

After a momentary ringing in the ears, there was a deafening roar.

A terrifying force instantly erupted, and the surging shockwave killed any surrounding fierce beasts it touched.

A vacuum zone with a diameter of over a hundred meters was instantly cleared.

Those further away were either severely injured or crippled.

Even the mindless fierce beasts that rushed out avoided this area during an Overlord-level battle.

“That’s intense! Again!” Maple Leaf’s eyes lit up, feeling the pressure from the King Kong!

However, she hadn’t used her divine power just now, but now…

With divine power empowering her, Maple Leaf unleashed another punch.
