308 Beast Tide

Qingqiu was wrapped around Lin Xuan’s neck, his back claws grabbing tightly onto Lin Xuan’s coat, and his two front claws were holding onto the pastry that Su Tian had made, eating it with great joy.

He had a space-teleportation bracelet, which was used to store some snacks. Based on the current science and technology of Taixia Country, they had already mastered the technology of space keeping. As for the technology of space teleportation, they still had a long way to go. Perhaps in a few years, major cities would be able to travel between each other through teleportation formations.

Of course, this was still uncertain.

Lin Zhenyue had also rushed over after hearing the news. At first glance, Lin Xuan gave her the feeling that he was just an ordinary person. However, in the next second, the sword spirit frantically warned her. Only then did she realize that Lin Xuan had entered the realm of being flawless and returning to his original state.

“You’ve become stronger again!”

“You too.”

Sensing the cold sword intent that Lin Zhenyue’s body unconsciously emitted, it seemed like her sword skills had improved by leaps and bounds after obtaining the sword spirit. It was just that Lin Zhenyue had put in a lot of effort and hard work recently to transform from a Beastmaster who commanded her subdued beasts to attack from behind to a sword wielder who wielded a sharp sword in front of the enemy.

“I thought I could fight you this time, but after seeing you, I know that the gap between us has widened again!”

Lin Zhenyue shook her head. Although a Beastmaster’s combat strength would double with every subdued beast they contracted, her current progress was probably much slower than Lin Xuan’s. She had no idea how this fellow had managed to cultivate this fast.

“Then keep working hard, don’t be discouraged, this will be your motivation to climb up!”

Lin Xuan smiled and encouraged her.

“That’s right, that’s right. Sis, let’s continue to work hard. We’ll definitely be able to knock this guy to the ground one day.”

Lin Zhenxing said with a smile, revealing two small canine teeth. She raised her fist in a show of force to Lin Xuan. The luminous dragon on her body was also full of fighting spirit and made a few roars as if it was venting its anger at Qingqiu that had just thrown it out of the ring.

The three of them walked forward together. As winter came, Di Yi’s school was filled with a sense of desolation.

“It’s the end of the year again!”

Lin Xuan sighed. He thought about this time last year when the three-man team cleared the yellow-rank dungeons and killed mystic-rank monsters. However, only a year had passed and they couldn’t enter the yellow-rank dungeons anymore. They can now also kill mystic-rank monsters easily. Suddenly, Lin Xuan’s interest was piqued. “Why don’t we arrange another team building this year!”

For a moment, the two sisters looked at him in confusion, not knowing what this guy was talking about.

“Let’s take on more tasks. At the end of the year, many cities will release tasks to clean up the wild monsters outside their cities. Most of the students of the top 9 universities in Taixia Country will take tasks at this time to earn resources and academic credits!”

Lin Xuan thought of the articles he had read at Di Yi’s library and gave a general idea.

“Oh, about that. Those who are going there are basically all students from the normal class. Students from the rocket class usually don’t go there. They’re too strong and directly snatch the prey of those normal students. If we’re going, why don’t we just go to the few cities that have released the notice of the beast tide? Those are the ones we should focus on instead.”

Lin Zhenxing was very clear about the intricacies of these missions. After all, she was a support, and her job was to do logistics.

“A beast tide? The in-land of Taixia Country is being attacked by a beast tide?”

Lin Xuan asked doubtfully. To be honest, the more powerful one was, the clearer one would be about the foundation of Taixia Country. He had thought that Taixia Country was as brittle as an eggshell, with wild monsters outside the cities and countless sea beasts in the sea. However, when he found out that the Bright Phoenix had raised over 100 ghost kings in the Western Capital and the Wudang Immortal had imprisoned a heaven-rank pseudodragon named Taowu on Mount Wudang, he wondered if all the wild monsters in Taixia Country had been reared there on purpose.

“Have you forgotten about last year’s real incident?”

Lin Zhenxing asked him in return.

“Of course, I was part of the reinforcements, okay? Go pick a city that has warned of the beast tide and we’ll go!”

Lin Xuan changed the topic decisively and did not want to continue the conversation. It was really uncomfortable to be looked at with contempt. “Speaking of which, why didn’t the higher-ups in Taixia clear out those wild monsters? How about Changyang City in Sichuan?”

After a short while, Lin Zhenxing jogged back as he opened the map of Taixia Country and pointed at that point on the map.

“Sure, but why Changyang City?”

“Hehe, the protector of Changyang City has some matters to attend to, but because of the beast horde, an earth-ranked beast is needed to guard the city in case an earth-ranked Beast King tries to cause trouble, so he’s worried about it.”

Lin Zhenxing laughed smugly and was prepared to keep him in suspense.

“Here, take Su Tian’s pudding. You can tell me more now, right?”

Lin Xuan stuffed a piece of pudding into her hands, and she continued to speak with a smile.

“He’s our teacher!”

Lin Zhenyue beat him to it, while the smug Lin Zhenxing’s expression froze.

“Right, but you guys definitely don’t know which teacher it is. Let me tell you, it’s Ruo Yanxing!”

“Alright, Changyang City it is then. I’ll contact Ruo Yanxing and we can go there!”

Ignoring the smug look on her face, Lin Xuan contacted Ruo Yanxing directly. His teacher agreed readily. Once the city was about to be conquered, it would be a very troublesome matter for an earth-rank powerhouse from the outside to help.

Once Lin Xuan and the other two went over to support the monster horde, there would probably be no mystic-rank monsters that they could not deal with.

He had heard from a colleague that in terms of combat power, Lin Xuan could only be ranked twentieth on the profound list. However, even if everyone on the profound list had a life-and-death battle with Lin Xuan, the one who would lose will definitely be them!

On the same day, Lin Xuan and the rest set off. In just three hours, the space shuttle arrived at Changyang City.

Sichuan was a forest-filled province. There was lush greenery everywhere. Even the mountain range was covered with trees, looking very lively.

This was both a good and a bad thing. The resources here were very rich, but at the same time, there were many places for the monsters to hide. Moreover, there were many resources here, causing the monsters here to be much stronger than in other areas.

Lin Xuan and the other two followed Ruo Yanxing to the City Hall, there was a short-term handover.

“Ruo Yanxing, thank you for coming. As you know, every beast tide is led by an earth-rank Demon King. It hasn’t shown itself just yet. I’m a little worried that they’re plotting something big!”

Ruo Yanxing looked at the map and nodded, then shook his head. “It’s not a big problem. This place is adjacent to the southern border. With me around, an earth-rank Demon King wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.”

Although the earth-rank guardian was still a little worried, he nodded. “That’s true, no earth-rank Demon King would dare to cause trouble near the southern border. Did they forget about the butcher’s ax or something?”
