248 The Beast Tide Unleashed
The Beast Tide Unleashed

After the giant python heard this, it seemed deep in thought. After a moment, it said,

Alright, as long as you can convince the others, I’ll be down.

The figure of light finally put on a smile.

I knew you would make the right choice. Alright, wait for my news. I’ll be launching the general attack soon.

Oh, by the way, have you asked the one resting at the core?

the python suddenly asked.

The figure of light immediately frowned after hearing this and said,

It? I went to look for it, but it didn’t even care about me. In the end, it even told me to f*ck off.

The giant python flicked its tongue and then said quietly,

Looks like it won’t stop us or shop up. Okay, it’s a deal. Let me know when you are ready.

The figure of light nodded, turned around, and flew away.

Looking at the departing figure, the giant python fell into a long silence before returning to its nest.

….

Five days later, after the entire country’s troops had gathered, the southern defense line was strengthened again.

At this time, the humans here were in a state of constant preparation for war every day. Before the danger was away, no one dared to slack off.

After all, this was related to the safety of humanity, the country, and the ones they loved.

At this time, the command structure of the southern defense line had changed.

In the conference room of the base, the seats were filled with hundreds of people. Even the commander of the southern defense line, Yu Zhongwei, could only sit in the middle.

According to our latest tip-off, the scouts ahead have discovered that a larger beast tide has begun to gather in the quiet depths of the wilderness.

Most importantly, we’ve also discovered that there’s movement in the nests of many level 8 monsters. There’s a high chance they will join the battle this time.

The people who had been calm during the first part of the presentation immediately began to whisper to each other after hearing the report.

Is there any news or movement from the guy in the deepest part?

a military officer sitting in the front row asked.

At this moment, the entire conference room fell into silence again.

Lieutenant General Zhang, after analyzing what we know, the major threat doesn’t seem to have any intention of coming out,

the analyst said.

Hearing this, people seemed relieved.

Don’t let your guard down. We must prepare for the worst so we won’t panic when that thing shows up!

Lieutenant General Zhang suddenly slammed the table.

Yes, sir!

The people present immediately sat up straight and responded.

Alright,

Lieutenant General Zhang nodded.

Let them keep us updated and report anything unusual right away!

After the analyst left, Lieutenant General Zhang cleared his throat and said,

Guys, this battle determines the future of our country and our people’s lives. I hope you all know there’s no time for us to think about anything else!

Alright, you are free to go! Be ready for the critical battle!

Everyone turned serious when they heard this and replied in unison,

Yes, sir.

When everyone had left, only a few people were left in the conference room. Lieutenant General Zhang turned around and smiled.

I can tell you guys want to tell me something, Yu.

Yu Zhongwei and the others looked at each other. He walked up and asked,

Sir, are there no reinforcements from other countries this time?

The smile on Lieutenant General Zhang’s face disappeared. He snorted and said,

They said they couldn’t send reinforcements in case of the same situation from happening on their country’s border.

Yu Zhongwei and the others frowned,

What are they thinking? Do they think they’ll have an easy time if we’re defeated?

Lieutenant General Zhang put his finger on his lips and said quietly,

We received the information that there are strange movements of monsters at their borders, and it’s pretty serious. It’s not that they don’t want to come.

Yu Zhongwei was worried.

If it was just a normal beast tide, it wouldn’t be a big deal. With our current strength, we could even take the initiative to attack. But if those monsters above level 8 join the battle, I’m afraid things will go out of control.

Lieutenant General Zhang touched his forehead and said,

That’s what I am concerning. You’ve already talked to those monsters, and they know our abilities. They still dare to attack us, so they must have something to rely on.

Before we figure out what or who supports them, we are in a passive position.

What if the level 9 Beast King at the core attacks us?

Yu Zhongwei asked again.

Don’t worry,

Lieutenant General Zhang replied.

The supreme elder has already said that if that thing makes a move, he’ll rush over here to stop it as soon as possible.

Hearing this, the people around heaved a sigh of relief.

Alright, any questions? If not, you should get some rest. Maybe we won’t have time to sleep,

Lieutenant General Zhang said with a sigh.

…

In the secret realm of the Tree of Life, Yan Wuyue, who had been waiting for nearly a week. Except for some necessary situations, she had been sitting in front of the Tree of Life.

At this moment, the quiet branch of the Tree of Life suddenly began to shake, which immediately caught the attention of Yan Wuyue and the sage.

They stood up at the same time.

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui, wrapped in the tree branch, slowly descended and landed steadily on the ground.

As the tree branch retracted, it revealed Zhou Mingrui, who was completely unscathed.

Mingrui!

Yan Wuyue immediately shouted.

Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes when he heard that. In an instant, an invisible wave of energy spread out before quickly returning to his body.

Your spiritual fluctuation?

Yan Wuyue naturally sensed this fluctuation.

Yes, I’ve already broken the seal!

Zhou Mingrui’s put on a confident smile, which she hadn’t seen for a while.

Really?

Yan Wuyue said in surprise.

For real. My current strength is completely different from before.

Zhou Mingrui clenched his fists as he curled his lips.

Just as Yan Wuyue was about to ask about the details, the watch on her wrist suddenly rang with an alarm.

She looked down at the message and screamed,

Damn it, the beast tide in the southern wasteland has launched a general attack. This time, all of their level 8 monsters are attacking together, so the defense line is requesting all the combat personnel to gather there.

Zhou Mingrui frowned.

The transport aircraft has left, right?

Maybe I can help you.

The sage suddenly said,

The Tree of Life just told me it could bring you guys over through the space tunnel.

Really? Thank you so much!

Yan Wuyue quickly thanked him.

The next moment, a huge amount of pink energy gathered in front of the Tree of Life, and a twisted spatial vortex slowly appeared.

Go in. The other side is connected to the destination you want to go to,

the sage said as he stepped aside.

Thank you. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for us!

With that, Yan Wuyue hurriedly walked in with Zhou Mingrui.

When they teleported through the space tunnel and regained their vision, they found themselves at the southern defense line.

Mingrui, I’m sorry that you must participate in this battle right after waking up. Are you ready?

Yan Wuyue asked Zhou Mingrui as she noticed everyone in the line of defense was fully ready to fight.

Don’t worry. I’m ready to fight at any time. No, let’s say I can’t wait to fight!

Zhou Mingrui said with a smile.

Although he had many words to tell her, he would wait until the battle was over.

With that, Yan Wuyue turned around and kissed Zhou Mingrui, who was completely caught off guard. After a long while, she moved her lips away from his.

Alright, let’s fight with those monsters now!
