308 Beast Tide
Qingqiu was wrapped around Lin Xuanâs neck, his back claws grabbing tightly onto Lin Xuanâs 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.
âYouâve become stronger again!â
âYou too.â
Sensing the cold sword intent that Lin Zhenyueâs 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.
âI thought I could fight you this time, but after seeing you, I know that the gap between us has widened again!â
Lin Zhenyue shook her head. Although a Beastmasterâs combat strength would double with every subdued beast they contracted, her current progress was probably much slower than Lin Xuanâs. She had no idea how this fellow had managed to cultivate this fast.
âThen keep working hard, donât be discouraged, this will be your motivation to climb up!â
Lin Xuan smiled and encouraged her.
âThatâs right, thatâs right. Sis, letâs continue to work hard. Weâll definitely be able to knock this guy to the ground one day.â
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 Yiâs school was filled with a sense of desolation.
âItâs the end of the year again!â
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 couldnât enter the yellow-rank dungeons anymore. They can now also kill mystic-rank monsters easily. Suddenly, Lin Xuanâs interest was piqued. âWhy donât we arrange another team building this year!â
For a moment, the two sisters looked at him in confusion, not knowing what this guy was talking about.
âLetâs 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!â
Lin Xuan thought of the articles he had read at Di Yiâs library and gave a general idea.
âOh, about that. Those who are going there are basically all students from the normal class. Students from the rocket class usually donât go there. Theyâre too strong and directly snatch the prey of those normal students. If weâre going, why donât 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.â
Lin Zhenxing was very clear about the intricacies of these missions. After all, she was a support, and her job was to do logistics.
âA beast tide? The in-land of Taixia Country is being attacked by a beast tide?â
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.
âHave you forgotten about last yearâs real incident?â
Lin Zhenxing asked him in return.
âOf course, I was part of the reinforcements, okay? Go pick a city that has warned of the beast tide and weâll go!â
Lin Xuan changed the topic decisively and did not want to continue the conversation. It was really uncomfortable to be looked at with contempt. âSpeaking of which, why didnât the higher-ups in Taixia clear out those wild monsters? How about Changyang City in Sichuan?â
After a short while, Lin Zhenxing jogged back as he opened the map of Taixia Country and pointed at that point on the map.
âSure, but why Changyang City?â
âHehe, 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 heâs worried about it.â
Lin Zhenxing laughed smugly and was prepared to keep him in suspense.
âHere, take Su Tianâs pudding. You can tell me more now, right?â
Lin Xuan stuffed a piece of pudding into her hands, and she continued to speak with a smile.
âHeâs our teacher!â
Lin Zhenyue beat him to it, while the smug Lin Zhenxingâs expression froze.
âRight, but you guys definitely donât know which teacher it is. Let me tell you, itâs Ruo Yanxing!â
âAlright, Changyang City it is then. Iâll contact Ruo Yanxing and we can go there!â
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.
âRuo Yanxing, thank you for coming. As you know, every beast tide is led by an earth-rank Demon King. It hasnât shown itself just yet. Iâm a little worried that theyâre plotting something big!â
Ruo Yanxing looked at the map and nodded, then shook his head. âItâs not a big problem. This place is adjacent to the southern border. With me around, an earth-rank Demon King wouldnât dare to cause trouble.â
Although the earth-rank guardian was still a little worried, he nodded. âThatâs true, no earth-rank Demon King would dare to cause trouble near the southern border. Did they forget about the butcherâs ax or something?â
