[Congratulations to all Lords for surviving seven days on the Primordial Continent.]
[World Channel is now open, basic territory buildings are now accessible, please check within your territory.]
[Attention! The safe period has ended, all protections are removed, regional barriers are lifted.]
[The Beast Tide is about to arrive, please be prepared, Lords.]
...
At the break of dawn, a cold voice simultaneously echoed in the ears of every Lord.
Everyone who was sleeping was startled awake by these incessant alerts, scrambling up in a panic from their sleeping mats.
"Has it come? Is the Beast Tide finally here?"
"It should be, the safe period is over."
"This is too fast! I'm not even ready yet!"
"I think I heard something, brothers, best of luck to us all."
The zone channel that had been silent all night suddenly became lively, with messages continuously flowing.
And just as everyone was in panic, a "crack" resounded across the horizon, revealing cracks in the sky.
The cracks grew bigger and longer, extending from the ground all the way to the sky, densely merging into one.
Finally.
The cracks shattered, turning into countless pieces that scattered down.
"Roar!!"
The earth-shaking beast roar spread across the land!
At this moment, the sky and clouds changed colors, the whole world trembled, and the rumbling sounds grew closer and closer.
"Is it finally coming?"
Lin You stood outside the wooden house, feeling the vibrations on the ground, and could already faintly hear the roars rushing swiftly toward him.
It was undoubtedly the Beast Tide barred outside the walls.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Lin You turned back and shouted to all the plants within the territory, quickly picking up the beast bone long spear he had prepared, and held it across his chest.
The plants received the order and immediately spread out around the territory, standing guard within the fence.
The territory's usual cheerful atmosphere was replaced with a faint killing intent.
After a while, Lin You's gaze suddenly tightened.
"It's here!"
The moment the words fell, far-off trees suddenly fell one after another, as a group of large and fierce demons charged through the forest, heading straight for him.
"Roar!!"
Leading the charge were tusked beasts on four legs, standing taller than half a person, in such numbers that they formed a dense, black mass.
[Name: Tusked Beast]
[Race: Wild Beast]
[Level: Tier Three]
[Power: 50]
[Constitution: 45]
[Agility: 50]
[Spirit: 45]
[Skills: Fierce Bite]
[Introduction: The most common lower-level demon, bloodthirsty, extremely fast, with a pair of tusks that have strong offensive power.]
Although they were Tier Three demons and not highly attributed, their numbers were so overwhelming that their figures almost filled the entire view, causing the ground to tremble.
Lin You did not dare to be careless, immediately ordering the plants to launch an attack.
In a flash, both sides collided fiercely.
Vines danced in the air, accompanied by endless beast roars, spreading all around the territory, causing the fence to rattle with impacts.
The side Cannibal Flower King was also already ravenous, tearing into the charging tusked beasts across the fence.
Roars and screams echoed continuously in the ears as more and more tusked beasts fell under the plants' attacks, forming mounds of corpses outside the territory.
Some crashed into the barricades Lin You had set up, or fell into traps and were then trampled to death by the following demons.
The death scenes were extremely gruesome!
Meanwhile, the remaining Fission Mushrooms in the territory were not idle.
Ascending the high platforms, they hurled bomb mushrooms out of the fences, triggering a series of explosions that blasted the charging tusked beasts away.
Lin You's ears were constantly ringing with notifications.
[Killed Tier Three Tusked Beast, gained 10 Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Three Tusked Beast, gained 8 Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Three Tusked Beast, gained 11 Magic Energy.]
[Killed Tier Three Tusked Beast, gained 9 Magic Energy.]
...
In just a few breaths' time, Lin You gained two to three hundred Magic Energy, which continued to increase.
However, this situation did not last long before a booming roar interrupted from afar.
A large group of massive Cyclops appeared less than a hundred meters away, directly targeting Lin You's territory.
As they approached, further information appeared in Lin You's vision.
[Name: Cyclops]
[Race: Humanoid]
[Level: Tier Four]
[Power: 90]
[Constitution: 75]
[Agility: 66]
[Spirit: 75]
[Skills: Heavy Crush, Frenzy]
[Introduction: A relatively rare humanoid demon, eroded by Demonic Qi, lost their reason, possessing extremely strong power.]
After reading the Cyclops' information, Lin You's pupils contracted.
He knew there would be Tier Four demons in the Beast Tide, but he didn't expect so many, even more than his Plant Legion!
In just a single confrontation, two Tree Spirit Warriors were torn to pieces.
Even the vines of the Highly Poisonous Demoness were snapped one after another, and then, along the vines, pulled the Demoness to the fence, where it was instantly overwhelmed by countless Cyclops.
This loss cost Lin You several species.
"Hold the line! Don't let them breach the fence!"
Lin You urgently shouted, promptly using Magic Energy to recruit Tier Four Cannibal Flower King, using mutation to fill the species gap.
Yet even so, species continued to be massacred by the Cyclops, crazily consuming Lin You's forces.
"Boom boom boom——"
Another round of intense explosions.
A large number of Cyclops fell under the plants' attacks.
Meanwhile, Lin You's plants were also torn apart one after another, surging towards the walls and high platforms.
At this moment, Lin You could no longer afford to save Magic Energy, continuously recruiting species to fill gaps.
Once the fence was breached, his territory wouldn't be far from destruction, and he would find it hard to escape death then.
The only silver lining was.
During the tug-of-war with the Cyclops, other Tier Three demons also emerged on the side, providing him with plenty of Magic Energy.
After a round of battle, it barely broke even.
Using this method, they managed to reluctantly hold back the Cyclops' offensive, creating a ferocious tug-of-war inside and outside the fence.
The demons seemed reckless, frantically assaulting his territory.
Time flew by as Lin You quickly issued commands and replenished forces.
Half of the morning passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin You had lost count of how many demons he had killed or how many species he had recruited.
All he remembered was the most perilous moment, when those Tier Four demons nearly flooded into the territory over the corpses.
Luckily, he reacted in time, using the long spear to push them back, and then ordered the plants to clear the corpses, barely avoiding disaster.
"Roar!!"
No one knew how much time had passed.
The beast horde outside the territory roared in anger, gradually abandoning Lin You's area and started to move towards other regions.
The most savage wave of the first Beast Tide finally began to show signs of retreat at this point.
"It's over! Almost over! Hold on, everyone!"
Lin You shuddered with excitement, thrusting a long spear through the throat of a Tier Three demon, shouting enthusiastically to the plants.
Right at that moment, a notification sounded.
Lingxi, who had survived from start to finish, finally reached full experience and successfully advanced to Tier Five!
