Chapter 56: Zhao Hu Flees, The Beast King Descends
[ Extra Chapter For Completing 100 Power Stone Milestones]
The artillery fire gradually ceased. The Beast Tide's siege slowed down.
"The first wave is almost over. Get ready to exit from the side gate!" Zhao Lie looked at Chen Yu and the others.
The second wave hadn't arrived yet. The Great Wall defense line had a momentary respite.
Taking advantage of this gap, the group set off from the side gate of the Great Wall and infiltrated the Mist Forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Lin Yan teleported a hundred meters ahead. A few seconds later, he teleported back and whispered,
"No high-order beasts within two kilometers ahead."
"Only some low-order Flying Centipedes and Shadow Cats running in the opposite direction. They must be afraid of the Ice Soul Silver Python's pressure."
"Speaking of which, can't you just teleport us all there?" Chen Yu asked Lin Yan curiously.
Lin Yan pursed his lips. "My teleportation range isn't that far. The limit is two hundred meters..."
"And I haven't developed it to the point of teleporting people yet."
Chen Yu nodded in realization.
Originally, he thought about having him teleport Ling Yue directly, and then Ling Yue could slap everyone over.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said to the group, "Stay alert. Try not to alert the beasts. Conserve stamina."
Although Ling Yue was the nominal captain, the group had no objections to Chen Yu's command.
Except for Zhao Hu. He was bent on finding a chance to run, but Chen Yu watched him too closely.
He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't outrun him. He was depressed inside.
Chen Yu walked in front, his Observation Haki fully spread out, alert to any disturbances around him.
Suddenly, that feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart again. His Observation Haki trait,
[Premonition], had triggered.
Chen Yu subconsciously looked back at the four people behind him.
"What's wrong?" Ling Yue seemed to notice Chen Yu's abnormality.
Chen Yu shook his head, suppressing the palpitations. "Nothing."
"Let's hurry."
Meanwhile.
Inside the Mist Forest, in a clearing.
A mini snake made of ice slowly crawled towards the corpse of the White Snake in the center of the clearing, surrounded by many beasts.
The air was filled with the faint but completely dissipated aura of its offspring.
Far outside the forest, the Ice Soul Silver Python's massive body was coiled up. Its cold vertical pupils were filled with indescribable pain and rage.
It raised its head, its forked tongue flickering, capturing every minute fluctuation in the air.
Suddenly, the beast's pupils contracted.
The fire of vengeance burned within them. It had captured two scents.
One was the killer of its child. The other aura... was very special.
Not only did it carry a trace of bloodline fluctuation similar to that human General who had beaten it up previously—a scent it loathed.
More importantly, that aura was clearly stained with the unique, cold scent remaining from its child's recent shedding!
It's this aura!
Although extremely faint, there was no mistake!
New hatred piled upon old. Boundless fury instantly found a vent.
The Ice Soul Silver Python let out a heaven-shaking beast roar: "HISS—AANG!!!"
This was not a simple roar, but a command containing its massive demonic power and absolute will!
All the low-order beasts fleeing outwards suddenly stopped in their tracks. The fear in their eyes was replaced by a deeper madness born of bloodline suppression.
The next moment.
The second wave of the Beast Tide, which was still gathering and brewing, was forcibly driven ahead of schedule!
They were no longer charging in an orderly manner, but fell into complete chaos.
There was only one target. The direction indicated in the hiss—those humans stained with the aura of the Beast King's child!
The moment he heard the beast roar, Chen Yu knew his premonition had come true.
What followed was the shaking of mountains and earth. The entire Mist Forest seemed to come alive.
In his Observation Haki perception, beasts were constantly surrounding them.
Chen Yu's face went dark. This was obviously coming for the few of them.
Only a Beast King could command the herd. So this was a remote ping?!
Did that Beast King toggle on wall-hacks?!
"Prepare to break through!"
There was no time to think about why the second wave was early, or why the target pointed so explicitly at them.
The black mass of beasts surged from all directions, threatening to drown the five-person squad.
Ling Yue's eyes narrowed. "Ice Age!"
Instantly, a wave of cold air spread rapidly outwards. The front row of beasts surrounding them instantly froze into ice sculptures.
But the beasts were like a tide; the ice sculptures were soon smashed to pieces by the beasts behind them.
Ling Yue immediately switched abilities. Her hands displayed pale pink paw pads.
The power of the Paw-Paw Fruit erupted instantly, slapping three Flying Centipedes rushing at her side away, shattering them into ice shards against the ice wall.
"Chen Yu! Third Order beast approaching from the left!" She stared at the heavy aura perceived by her Observation Haki and shouted a warning.
Chen Yu responded by turning around.
He saw a Ground-Splitting Lizard, several meters long, smashing through the ice layer. Its scales shimmered with a gloomy blue light, its claws still carrying undissipated earth energy.
Veins popped on his left arm as Armament Haki wrapped around the entire limb, taking the Ground-Splitting Lizard's claws head-on.
CLANG!
A sturdy physique comparable to a Third Order beast combined with Armament Haki meant Chen Yu was uninjured. The sound of metal colliding shook the surrounding leaves down.
Chen Yu used the momentum to flip over, unsheathing Ace. Observation Haki predicted the trajectory of the lizard's tail whip.
One slash into the gap of its scales, spraying black blood.
"Ahhh!" Xia Wanqing clenched her fists, the power of the Ripple-Ripple Fruit (Strength) operating at full capacity.
She abruptly hugged a tree as thick as two people combined next to her.
Amidst the loud noise of snapping roots, she used the tree trunk as a weapon to sweep horizontally, smashing the low-order beasts surrounding Chen Yu into broken bones.
But just as this side was resolved, a sharp whistle came from overhead.
A Lightning Eagle spread its wings, several arcs of lightning striking towards Lin Yan.
"Fourth Order?!!"
Lin Yan reacted extremely fast. The Warp-Warp Fruit activated, his figure instantly appearing on a treetop ten meters away.
The dual guns in his hands fired simultaneously. Special bullets pierced the Lightning Eagle's wings, but only left shallow wounds..
"Even Fourth Order beasts are here, retreat quickly!"
He teleported back to the group, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. Low-order beasts were still pouring in endlessly.
The Lightning Eagle in the sky hung over everyone's heads like the Sword of Damocles.
"We'll be worn down like this!" Ling Yue gritted her teeth, activating the Chilly-Chilly Fruit again to freeze the Ground-Splitting Lizard's hind legs to the ground.
"Wanqing, smash open the dense forest on the right! Chen Yu, you take the rear! Lin Yan, cover us!"
Hearing this, Xia Wanqing rushed to the right, punching the thickest tree trunk.
The immense force caused the entire row of trees to collapse with a boom, revealing a gap leading deep into the dense forest.
Chen Yu directly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to counter the Lightning Eagle's pressure.
Lin Yan teleported to both sides of the gap, firing to knock down low-order beasts attempting to block the passage.
Just as the gap was completely opened and Ling Yue prepared to slap everyone away, the sound of wind suddenly came from behind.
It was Zhao Hu!
He had quietly released his tiger form earlier. Now, seeing an escape route...
He instantly transformed into a three-meter-tall tiger. The Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Tiger erupted with full power. Instead of helping cover the rear, he violently slammed Xia Wanqing aside and sprinted wildly out of the gap.
Chen Yu: ???
Ling Yue: ???
Recovering her senses, Xia Wanqing shouted curses,
"Bastard!! Deserting in the face of battle!"
Lin Yan just wanted to teleport and catch Zhao Hu back, but was stopped by Ling Yue: "Forget him!"
Pop~
In Lin Yan's horrified gaze, Xia Wanqing was gently tapped by Ling Yue and flew away in the blink of an eye.
Then it was his turn.
Ling Yue was just about to step forward to slap Chen Yu away when a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
HUM————
Ling Yue felt the blood in her body freeze instantly. Her arms felt as heavy as a thousand pounds; even the strength to lift them was drained away.
That pressure was like countless ice needles drilling into her marrow, making even breathing painful.
This was the dominance of a King above all beasts.
It was the killing intent of the Ice Soul Silver Python, locked on precisely from miles away through the dense forest.
"I can't use my ability..." Ling Yue lost her voice.
Surrounding beasts pounced to kill.
