C9 Surge of Beast Tide

It was no longer possible to know when and exactly why the beast tide originated from.

However, all the members of the Xiangyun clan knew that there would be a beast tide. At that time, anyone who entered the mountain would be killed. If they were lucky enough to escape, they would definitely not be fine.

The auspicious Cloud Tribe lived at the foot of the mountain, so they also investigated the monster tide within the mountain. They even tried to find the pattern of the beast tide erupting and evade it.

However, this was simply impossible. Every time a pattern was found, the next outbreak would subvert the pattern. As a result, until now, no one knew the reason behind the beast tide outbreak.

Every time a beast tide descended, the Xiangyun Tribe would suffer a great loss. This was because very few of the hunters that entered the mountain would survive.

This time, although Ling Haotian's team had made some preparations for the beast tide when they entered the mountain, it was still not enough.

The fear deep inside their bones made everyone feel as if there was a huge rock pressing down on their hearts. They wanted to go crazy, but they could only run away. Finding a cave to hide in was the best plan.

Of course, hiding in the caves might not save them all, but it was a good thing that one of them managed to survive. Everyone's desire for life was the same.

In the team, the chief hunter did not rush to the front of the group. Instead, he was a bit behind, giving a helping hand to everyone who was behind.

"Hurry up!"

To the Hunter leader's words, all of these people revealed grateful expressions and ran with all their might. After all, this was equivalent to saving their own lives, and without caring about their own lives at all.

Anyone who was able to sacrifice themselves for others would be respected by others.

Clearly, the Chief Hunter was such a person.

He spent most of his time active on the mountain, hunting and killing berserk beasts. He faced the possibility of being killed by berserk beasts at any time, so he valued his life more than anyone else, and his life more than anyone else.

This was not a contradiction. Rather, it was a natural manifestation of his heart. It was just that he placed the lives of his teammates, relatives, and clansmen above his own.

He would rather die on the mountain than let the other members of the clan live on.

In any era, in any society, this kind of person existed. It was for no other reason other than the persistence and a trace of faith in one's heart.

Thus, upon seeing this scene, Ling Haotian couldn't help but feel deep veneration for this middle-aged man who didn't talk much, but was able to sacrifice himself for the sake of being moved in his heart.

"Stop!"

Just when everyone was doing their best to run and work hard for the hope of life, the chief hunter suddenly let out a loud shout, and an extremely ugly expression appeared on his face.

At the same time, Ling Haotian also felt that his hand which he was grabbing had abruptly tightened. Qingyu Mengmeng also stopped, her entire body stiffened up and her bright eyes gazed into the depths of the night.

"The beast tide is here?" Uncontrollably, Ling Haotian felt a shock in his heart when he noticed Qingyu Meng's peculiar expression, and he immediately followed her gaze.

Although the others didn't know what had happened, they instinctively thought of that. Due to their trust in the Chief Hunter, they also quickly stopped and looked around.

"The vicious beasts have arrived. Everyone gather together quickly and prepare to break out of the encirclement!"

The Hunter's voice rang clearly in everyone's ears. The heaviness in his voice could be heard by everyone as their hearts sank gradually.

"Aowu …

"Roar …"

Roaring furiously and incessantly, everyone could feel the ground beneath their feet shaking in that instant. The trees rustled as if a gale had been stirred up.

An extremely fiendish aura that exuded incomparable violence came from all directions, causing everyone to panic and feel extremely stifled.

The roars and furious roars seemed to have pierced into the hearts of everyone present. The bold ones had pale faces without a trace of blood, and the timid ones were trembling and trembling all over. They were almost unable to control themselves.

"Quickly stick together and fight your way out!"

The Hunter's voice once again reverberated in the night sky and was deafening. It immediately woke everyone up from their fear and made them hear the violent sound of a blade being drawn.

"Clang!"

As the saber was unsheathed, an ear-piercing sound could be heard. Everyone felt a sharp pain in their ears before they were jolted awake. They no longer dared to hesitate as they grabbed their weapons and moved closer to each other.

Their expressions were nervous, and their eyes were filled with anxiety and panic. They constantly looked in all directions, trying their best to not tremble as they regained their composure.

However, there were countless beast roars that they could not ignore. A fiendish aura filled the air and surrounded the entire area, as if it was coming from all directions.

"Don't panic. Follow me and kill!"

The chief hunter walked in front, the sabre in his hand humming. His not very tall and sturdy body appeared especially tall, like a high wall that shielded him from the wind and rain.

Behind him, the crowd that had been panicking suddenly felt a lot more at ease. They swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their expressions gradually becoming resolute. At the same time, they started to walk forward.

Yu Meng's eyes lit up as if she was infected by the chief hunter. With a bitter smile, she said to Ling Haotian: "Big brother Haotian, your cultivation is too weak. You should join the team. I'll cut you off."

Even though her voice was soft, there was a hint of decisiveness in it. After Ling Haotian heard this, he didn't say anything. After a flash of his eyes, he flipped his hand and grabbed the hand she was about to let go of.

"Big Brother Haotian?" Yu Meng was obviously surprised that Ling Haotian suddenly grabbed her hand. She raised her head and looked at him.

"We'll cover the rear at the same time!" Ling Haotian didn't say anything. Holding her hand, he landed behind everyone and even drew the sword on his back.

Yu Meng opened her mouth, but did not know what to say. She could not help but have a sparkle appear in her eyes. However, after blinking her eyes a few times, the rims of her eyes turned red and did not flow down.

"Alright, let's block the rear." As if she was talking to herself, Yu Meng giggled foolishly and stood beside Ling Haotian. Her face was full of smiles, and she didn't look like she was about to face death at all.

Seeing her so happy with such a sweet expression, Ling Haotian let out a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he transferred some heat to the small hand in his palm.

Who could so easily refuse such a woman?

Since he couldn't refuse, then he would gladly accept it.

Thinking like this, Ling Haotian's heart suddenly cleared up. There was even a hint of joy in his heart, making him unable to make heads or tails of it.

"Could it be that I really like this feeling?" As he silently inquired about his own heart, he gradually lost his spirit as he heard the threatening roar of a beast.

"He's here, big brother Haotian!"

Following Yu Meng's words, Ling Haotian raised his head and looked over. He saw mountains everywhere, and there were countless dark green, blood-red, and pale white, fiendishly cruel eyes.

These were all vicious beasts. As they rolled over, they were like an unstoppable tide that swept through everything in its path, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake.

"Kill!"

The chief hunter was already close to the beast tide. Letting out a loud roar, he started killing with his saber. With a flash of his saber, a blood-red aura exploded forth. The hunters had completely clashed with the berserk beasts.

"Kill, kill, kill …"

Hot blood was boiling. At such a critical moment, everyone threw away their fear and panic and started to fight with all their might.

Right now, all the fear was useless. He could only fight his way out and survive.

The ferocious beast tide rushed out from the hazy night like a pitch-black flood, wanting to drown everything. It caused the mountain forest to once again return to the territory of the ferocious beasts, and all the beast races had been annihilated.

These berserk beasts did not have any form of discipline, they only crazily ran and fought with incomparable savagery and ruthlessness. They had an instinctive love for blood.

Therefore, when the hunters killed the first berserk beast, the other berserk beasts that smelled the scent of blood went crazy. Although they didn't stop, they began to crazily bite at it.

Fierce beasts tore and gnawed at each other. Hunters fought and the entire forest was engulfed in a fierce slaughter. Beasts roared into the sky, and the sounds of killing echoed in the air.

Forgetting life and death, throwing away their fear, the hunters all walked forward, closely following the chief hunter, not falling back, not falling behind, not being lost.

The sword rose and fell, blood and flesh flew, the ferocious beasts became more and more frenzied, the pressure on the hunters also became greater and greater, it was almost impossible to move a single step.

Fierce beasts rushed over from all directions, as if they were rushing towards each other. They stopped here after smelling the blood, disregarding everything else, biting and killing everything in sight. Claws, fangs, and violent pressure were simply unbearable for the hunters.

Forgetting what they were doing, each of the hunters madly charged forward, blood forming a path beneath their feet.

The scene in front of them shocked everyone. The densely packed beasts were rarely seen and had never been seen before in their entire lives. However, they were tightly surrounded, and it was difficult for them to escape.

The leader of the hunters was like an angry lion, his sword was like a splash of blood, his body was dyed in red but he didn't notice. His eyes were firm, his steps steady, he wanted to lead everyone out.

At the back of the team, the long sword in Ling Haotian's hand flew around. Although it wasn't sharp, every fall would bring about a series of screams as blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

The berserk beasts were roaring, but they were not afraid of death. Wave after wave, they endlessly rushed up, wanting to swallow this hunting squadron.

At a glance, besides darkness, one couldn't see the end of the densely packed beast tide.

Even though Ling Haotian had a strong personality, he couldn't help but feel a little dejected. The long sword in his hand slashed and slashed. Hundreds of times it went down, and almost all of the blades were swept up.

He chopped down a ferocious beast in front of him without stopping. He turned around and chopped off the head of the other beast that was rushing towards him. The beast's roar abruptly stopped, and hot blood spurted out. However, it did not touch his body.

It was because he quickly dodged to the side and began to fight with the other beast.

His sword had been drawn and he was extremely tired. However, his brain was tense and could not relax in the slightest. That was because he was followed by Yu Meng and the hunters.

On the other side, Yu Meng's petite body jumped like a butterfly. Every time the dagger in her hand landed, beasts would die.

Her speed was much faster than Ling Haotian's, but she did not stay at the back. Instead, she acted as the second defense line.

Originally, she wanted to cut off the rear by herself. After all, she was strong enough. However, once she saw Ling Haotian's unwavering expression, she withdrew back into her mouth. He didn't know what kind of feeling was in his heart. There was sweetness, happiness, love, and a trace of helplessness.

Although the surrounding berserk beasts were constantly hunted, the number of berserk beasts continued to increase, as if there was no end to them. Yu Meng could even hear the roar of the beasts growing stronger and stronger. Clearly, there were more and more powerful berserk beasts approaching.
