138: Level 5 Beast King! Stone Sky Python Fish!

“The beast tide retreated?”

Commander Li Feihong looked up.

Sure enough, the massive beast tide began to recede.

Phew~

Commander Li Feihong let out a long breath.

Every time a beast tide attacked Wu Shi City, it made her nerves tense.

She worried that the Sixth Legion she led would become the breakthrough point for the beast tide.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion finally dared to gasp for breath.

Some people, who had been sustained by sheer willpower, slumped to the ground like deflated balloons.

“Sixth Legion, attention!

Those with serious injuries, treat yourselves on the spot!

Those with minor injuries, treat yourselves while maintaining outer perimeter vigilance...”

Commander Li Feihong, the Flame Rose, issued commands in an orderly fashion.

Although the beast tide had retreated,

she dared not relax.

In the past,

the legions of Wu Shi City had suffered losses when a beast tide launched a surprise counterattack.

“Yes!”

The members of the Sixth Legion either stood guard or treated their injuries.

Others cleaned up the battlefield.

Looking at their comrades who lay on the ground, lifeless, some even in pieces, these soldiers were overcome with grief.

Just two hours ago,

these comrades had been chatting and laughing with them, talking about everything under the sun.

Perhaps they had even shown each other pictures of their families.

But two hours later,

their close comrades had become cold, lifeless corpses.

Some were even completely gone.

The soldiers felt a deep sorrow.

But they dared not show it too obviously.

They feared this sorrowful emotion would spread throughout the entire Sixth Legion.

“Su Jun, do you see?

This is the true portrayal of the border.

When many people feel that life is difficult,

in reality,

some people are using their lives to resist exotic beasts, allowing others to strive forward...”

The Flame Rose, Commander Li Feihong, said softly to Su Jun.

Su Jun remained silent.

His mind was filled with myriad thoughts...

He gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the border.

“Chen Yan, take Su Jun and the other prodigies back to Wu Shi City!”

“Yes!”

Just as he was about to leave the battlefield, Su Jun suddenly frowned.

A faint sense of being spied upon, a feeling of crisis, emerged in his heart.

He looked up in a certain direction...

Seeing this, Chen Yan explained, “That’s the direction of Beize Lake.

The beast tides that attack Wu Shi City all come from that direction.”

Su Jun wondered, “Commander Chen, just how big is Beize Lake that it can accommodate so many exotic beasts?”

Shen Bingye and the others also showed curiosity.

Chen Yan paused.

Because she had never been to Beize Lake.

It was Chen Yu who spoke up.

“The area of Beize Lake is actually similar to that of Wu Shi City.

It cannot accommodate many exotic beasts.”

Su Jun was even more puzzled, “Then where do so many exotic beasts come from?”

Chen Yu didn't answer directly, but asked, “Do you still remember the Stone Hollow Python Fish that the Iron-Backed Bear mentioned before its death?”

“Of course I remember.

Could it be that so many exotic beasts are related to the Stone Hollow Python Fish?”

Su Jun guessed.

He had no impression of this Stone Hollow Python Fish.

It was not recorded in the school books.

“The Stone Hollow Python Fish is a Five-Level Beast King that emerged from a Space Rift in the past six months.

Its innate divine ability can connect to a Space Rift within a small range, drawing out exotic beasts.”

Chen Yu’s words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the prodigies.

It was one thing for the Stone Hollow Python Fish to be a Five-Level Beast King.

But it actually possessed such a heaven-defying ability?

Connecting to a Space Rift to draw out exotic beasts from within the rift?

Doesn't that mean?

As long as a Stone Hollow Python Fish appears somewhere,

there will be an endless stream of exotic beasts?

Su Jun frowned when he heard about the Stone Hollow Python Fish's heaven-defying ability.

He suddenly thought of something and guessed, “Chen Yu, is there a limit to the level of exotic beasts that the Stone Hollow Python Fish can draw out?”

Otherwise, the strongest on the battlefield just now wouldn't have been Level 4 Exotic Beasts.

But Five-Level Beast Kings!

Chen Yu glanced at Su Jun, somewhat surprised.

“Su Jun, it’s one thing for your strength to be formidable, but your mind is also so keen.

That's right.

The level of exotic beasts drawn out by the Stone Hollow Python Fish will always be lower than its own.

Also,

the Stone Hollow Python Fish can only use its innate divine ability once every few days.”

Su Jun also nodded secretly.

The Stone Hollow Python Fish's ability was so heaven-defying.

If it could be used every day?

Then the number of exotic beasts appearing today would likely be more than ten times greater.

“Chen Yu, if we just kill the Stone Hollow Python Fish in Beize Lake, can we break the beast tide?”

“That's right.

But it’s not easy.

The Stone Hollow Python Fish is a Five-Level Beast King, killing it? Not easy!”

Su Jun showed a thoughtful expression.

Was the sense of being spied upon that he felt just now from the Stone Hollow Python Fish in Beize Lake?

He remembered the Iron-Backed Bear saying before its death.

The Stone Hollow Python Fish would not let him go!

He must become stronger!

Su Jun knew his combat power was astonishing.

But no matter how astonishing,

it was still only Martial General strength.

He simply could not contend with a Beast King.

His gaze fell on the data panel.

“Over four million Lifespan, leave about six hundred thousand Lifespan, and add the rest to qi and blood!”

Su Jun’s mind stirred.

A surge of hot currents immediately welled up within his body.

These warm currents rushed through his limbs, internal organs, muscles, bones, and skin...

【Name: Su Jun】

【Realm: Elementary Martial General】

【Talent: Wheel Prison (8%, Awakening)】

【Qi and Blood: 1067620】

【Cultivation Method: Golden Scale Mysterious Snake Art (Level 4, Perfected)】

【Martial Skills: Benlei Fist (Level 2, Perfected)...Myriad Transformation Heavenly Thunder Hand (Quasi-Level 4, Perfected)

Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Art (Level 4, Perfected), Purple Lightning Thunder Blade (Level 4, Perfected)

Celestial Dipper Roar (Level 4, Perfected)】

【Weapon: A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets】

【Lifespan: 600000】

1.067 million qi and blood.

Although it was still nearly 700,000 short of the 1.78 million qi and blood required for an Intermediate Martial General.

The area near Wu Shi City had no shortage of exotic beasts.

Breaking through to Intermediate Martial General within ten days was not an issue!

“Eh?

Su Jun, have you become a little stronger again?”

As a descendant of the Ancient Martial Clan,

Chen Yu’s perception was very keen.

Just a moment ago.

He suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

Su Jun’s lips curved slightly, “Perhaps...”

Chen Yu, Yao Ying, and the others all shook their heads with a wry smile.

Everyone had also undergone a tempering session in the beast tide.

Why hadn't their own strength improved...

Indeed, there was still a huge gap between geniuses.

On the way back.

Su Jun’s gaze inadvertently swept over the blue lucky bag at his waist.

Eh?

Grandma’s lucky bag hasn’t been opened yet!

He remembered Grandma telling him to open the lucky bag only when he was near Wu Shi City before she left.

She said there would be an unexpected surprise?

What kind of surprise could it be?

Su Jun looked forward to it...

...

Beize Lake.

The water here was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Many exotic beasts lay prostrate on both sides, by the water's edge.

They dared not approach the center.

There was a monstrous fish there, two stories high and thirty meters long.

Its scales were not like fish scales, but rather resembled those of a python.

These scales shimmered with an unusual color under the sunlight.

The monstrous fish also had two whiskers, three meters long, by its mouth.

It was none other than the Five-Level Beast King that occupied Beize Lake, the Stone Hollow Python Fish.

In front of the Stone Hollow Python Fish were several spatial bubbles.

Inside the bubbles were the battle situations from various battlefields outside Wu Shi City.

“Eh?

What’s the background of this human kid?

He actually instantly killed the monkey, the bat, and those four guys, and that stupid bear also died?”

The Stone Hollow Python Fish was somewhat surprised when it saw one of the bubbles.

“Python Fish, that guy is named Su Jun!”

A figure was seen stepping through the air.

He wore a white lab coat and surgical gloves; it was the Octopus Evil Master!
