113: Chapter 113 The Beast Tide Arrives

The mist, which had originally been just a bit chilly, now seemed to carry a faint, fishy sweetness.

Moreover, it was too quiet.

Aside from the sounds of the students fighting just moments ago, the surrounding chirping of insects and birds seemed to have vanished in an instant.

"Old Wang hasn't returned..."

"Jiang You hasn't returned either..."

Teacher Shen Qing gripped her long blade tightly and muttered under her breath:

"This isn't right."

"Everyone! Stop the special training immediately! Fall back to the camp!"

"Maintain defensive stances!"

Teacher Shen Qing's voice, amplified by spiritual power, echoed throughout the area.

The students of Class A were still complaining:

"What's going on? Didn't the special training just start?"

"Huh? Why is it stopping when it just began?"

However, the very next second.

Their complaints were cut off in their throats.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The ground began to shake violently, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping beneath the surface.

The surrounding gray-white mist suddenly churned, instantly stained a despairing dark green!

"Hiss!!"

"Awoo!!"

Shrieking beast roars erupted from all directions simultaneously, converging into a terrifying wave of sound that made everyone's eardrums ache.

"W-what's going on?"

Class Monitor Zhao Feilong was so scared that he dropped his sword, looking around in terror:

"What is that?"

In the mist surrounding the camp, countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up!

Densely packed, like ghost fires, they surrounded the entire camp!

Immediately after, countless demonic beasts broke through the blockade of the mist!

It was no longer the scattered one or two from before, but swarms of them, pouring in like a tide!

A pack of Tier 2 Rotten Bone Wolf!

A phalanx of Tier 3 Iron-skinned Crocodiles!

There were even a few massive, terrifyingly aura-emitting Tier 4 early-stage demonic beasts—Yama Spiders—moving rapidly through the treetops!

"Beast tide!!"

"It's a beast tide!!"

"Everyone, gather together!"

"Hurry!"

The experienced instructors immediately recognized the scene before them!

"This is impossible! This is a cleared safety zone! How could there be so many high-tier demonic beasts here?"

Teacher Shen Qing's expression changed drastically. Her long blade unsheathed instantly, slashing out with a blood-red blade aura that cut down the pack of demonic wolves rushing at the front.

"Everyone! If you don't want to die, prepare to fight for your lives!"

Before the words even faded, Teacher Shen Qing had already rushed toward the beast horde like a bolt of red lightning.

The battle erupted in an instant. This was no special training; this was a true life-or-death struggle!

The scene instantly plunged into extreme chaos and bloodshed.

...

Meanwhile, several kilometers away from where all this was happening.

A teenager wearing spongebob pajamas, draped in a university uniform, with two large radishes sticking out of his pockets and several bags of potato chips tucked under his arm, was strolling leisurely through the mist.

"Achoo!!!"

Jiang You let out an earth-shattering sneeze, rubbing his nose as he circled around in the mist.

He sniffled, tightened his grip on the potato chips, and continued stumbling around in the mist like a headless fly.

At this moment, Jiang You had not long left Bai Lan's small wooden house and was in a state of extreme confusion.

Everywhere around him were identical withered trees and mud pits emitting toxic gas; there wasn't even a signpost.

"That's strange..."

Jiang You kicked a piece of rotten wood at his feet and, looking at the dense mist all around, let out the lament of a person with no sense of direction:

"I don't remember there being so many trees when I came here?"

"It's over, I'm really lost now."

"I wonder where Fugui and the others are, and if they saved me any dinner."

Just as Jiang You was preparing to find a stone to sit down and rest, and maybe eat a bag of potato chips.

"Rumble!!!"

The ground suddenly began to shake violently, and even the leaves on the surrounding withered trees were shaken off.

The dense mist was torn apart as if by a giant hand.

Immediately after, a scene that would terrify an ordinary person appeared before Jiang You's eyes.

It was the army of the beast tide, responding to the call of the Poison Python and frantically rushing toward the camp to take hostages!

Thousands upon thousands of demonic beasts with scarlet eyes and drooling mouths converged into a black torrent of steel, charging frantically in this direction with an earth-shattering momentum!

Running at the very front was a Boar King with a back of iron, its size like that of a heavy truck, covered in black iron armor with fangs like blades!

Every time its massive hooves landed, they stomped a deep pit into the ground.

And behind it were densely packed demonic wolves, giant crocodiles, poison spiders...

And Jiang You happened to be standing right in their path.

"Holy... crap!"

Jiang You almost dropped the potato chips in his hand, his eyes widening like copper bells:

"W-what is this situation?"

"Did the Zootopia escape from prison?"

"Or is there a supermarket sale ahead, and these guys are going to grab eggs?"

Facing this terrifying beast tide coming head-on, Jiang You's first reaction was to run.

But how can two legs outrun four?

Just as the Tier 4 Boar King was less than a dozen meters away from Jiang You, and its foul, fishy breath was already blowing in his face.

The organs inside Jiang You's body were finally enraged by this offensive aura.

[Internal Chat Group (Enraged)]

[Kidneys (Overheated)]: "How bold!!" "A bunch of uncivilized beasts!" "How dare you be so rude to us!" "Do you not want to live anymore?"

[stomach (Disdain)]: "This pork is too tough; it doesn't taste good."

[Brain (Squinting)]: "But it is blocking our way." "Release the pressure! Let them know who the daddy of this swamp is!"

"Boom!!!"

In reality, before Jiang You himself could react, the terrifying bloodline pressure originating from the Tier 5 overlord-level Titan Giant Ape erupted from within him without reservation!

This pressure was intangible and formless, but in the perception of the demonic beasts, it was as if an ancient demon god had suddenly descended upon their heads!

The Tier 4 Boar King, which had been aggressive and seemed ready to smash through everything, suddenly acted as if its spine had been pulled out.

It slammed on the brakes while sprinting at high speed, its four hooves plowing four deep trenches into the muddy ground, sending sparks flying!

Immediately after, at a distance of only one meter from Jiang You, this massive beast...

"Thump!" Its knees went soft, and it knelt directly on the ground!

Its massive head was buried deep into the mud, its whole body trembling, not even daring to let out a grunt.

And the thousands of demonic beasts behind it fell like dominoes.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" That was the sound of knees hitting the ground.

Whether it was the vicious demonic wolves or the venomous spiders, they were all prostrate on the ground, bowing down in worship toward Jiang You!

The whole world instantly became quiet.

Jiang You stood in place, holding the potato chips in his arms, radishes in his pockets, maintaining a jaw-dropping pose.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting the hem of his clothes.

Looking at the sea of beasts kneeling before him, Jiang You fell into deep self-doubt.

"This..." "Is this some novel way of staging a scam?"

"Or is it..."

Jiang You touched his face, suddenly having an inexplicable sense of déjà vu:

"Am I Simba? Am I the Lion King?"

"Should I raise the potato chips in my hand now and have some background music?"

Just then, the Boar King kneeling before him tremblingly lifted its head slightly and let out an extremely humble and fawning sound:

"Hmph-snort... (Great King... spare me...)"

Jiang You, of course, could not understand pig language.

But his magical train of thought, combined with this bizarre atmosphere, instantly gave him the illusion that "maybe I can communicate with animals."
