Chapter 105: Beast Tide Assault
At the ruins entrance, the gazes of all factions had already converged.
Rows of instruments that looked like security scanners had already been set up outside the ruins entrance.
Even though they had already guessed that the class advancement materials had been taken away, the many factions were still unwilling to give up the final sliver of possibility.
Under the deterrence of nearly a hundred Professional Beast Tamers, the several thousand Beast Tamers and hunters who exited the ruins all obediently lined up in long queues to await inspection.
This inspection mainly targeted solo Beast Tamers or some smaller factions.
The instruments checked whether there was spatial equipment on one’s body; if there was none, then the baggage was inspected, and spoils were forcibly purchased at low prices along the way.
As for the Phantasmal Beasts, they also had to pass through the instruments, because with the size of normal Ferocious Beasts, it was entirely possible for them to swallow the class advancement materials into their stomachs.
However, when the inspectors saw Zhou Ming’s Inkband, they did not seriously look at it at all—after all, Inkband’s body was so small that it was astonishing.
The only thing they paid attention to was the various items Zhou Ming had brought out.
“A total of three hundred thousand Alliance Coins.”
For the items Zhou Ming brought out, which were worth over a million, they directly quoted a price of three hundred thousand Alliance Coins.
“More than just three hundred thousand, right?”
Compared to the class advancement materials, Zhou Ming naturally did not care about a few hundred thousand, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he still displayed the attitude he should have.
“I say three hundred thousand means three hundred thousand. You looking for trouble?”
The man in charge of reclaiming the items wore a mocking expression. Several guards beside him, dressed in combat suits and holding firearms, immediately turned their gazes toward Zhou Ming.
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Ming could only endure his anger like the others.
“Ungrateful bastard.”
After giving Zhou Ming only two hundred and fifty thousand Alliance Coins, the man in charge of reclaiming items turned around to inspect other people’s belongings.
Seeing this, Zhou Ming could only, like other solo Beast Tamers, ultimately choose to leave.
“Ten Thousand Snakes.”
When Zhou Ming successfully broke free from the inspections of the major factions, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw Lion King and the others he had previously teamed up with.
“Lion King, how were your gains?”
“We lost more than half. If we hadn’t banded together, we might have been squeezed even harder by those big factions.”
“And you?” Lion King casually asked about Zhou Ming’s situation.
“Even worse than you. I originally wanted to compete for the class advancement materials, but they were intercepted ahead of time. I finally got some other things, and they directly slashed my price by seventy percent.”
“Seventy percent! Those black-hearted bastards—serves them right that the class advancement materials were stolen by someone else.”
After hearing this, Doghead could not help but curse.
Although they had been squeezed less, they did not feel fortunate because of it. Instead, they felt even more dissatisfied with the factions behind them.
Just as several people were chatting idly, bursts of roaring sounds suddenly came from afar.
“The Dimensional Rift has erupted into a beast tide!” someone shouted loudly in the distance.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Ming and the others sensed the ground begin to tremble, and gunfire roared incessantly from afar.
“Ten Thousand Snakes, go together?”
Faced with the sudden change, Lion King immediately invited Zhou Ming to flee together.
After all, they had previously witnessed Zhou Ming’s strength—having one more share of power meant one more chance to survive.
But before Zhou Ming could respond, bursts of roaring sounds came again.
A gigantic wolf with twin wings on its back, its entire body cyan, and a body length of ten meters flew over through the air.
Behind it was a black tiger whose entire body was dark gold, its size not inferior to the giant wolf.
“Azure Moon Wolf King, and Major General Xu’s Dark-gold Fanged Tiger.”
Someone immediately recognized the background of the lord-level Ferocious Beast before them. The already-panicked crowd completely lost order and chose to flee for their lives at the first moment.
No one was willing to face a lord-level Ferocious Beast. Conventional weapons had already completely lost their effect against lord-level Ferocious Beasts.
If no Transcendent Master Beast Tamer took action, even an army would be slaughtered by a lord-level Ferocious Beast.
And upon discovering a large number of humans gathered below, the Azure Moon Wolf King, fueled by the rage of being hunted by Xu Chunjun, immediately vented its anger on the humans beneath it.
Its huge mouth opened, and hundreds upon thousands of wind blades were spat out instantly.
The cyan wind blades were several meters long, their shrill screech as they tore through the air extremely piercing, like a torrential downpour crashing to the ground.
For a moment, whether humans, Ferocious Beasts, or vehicles and other objects, none had the slightest ability to resist the Azure Moon Wolf King’s wind blades.
Before everyone could even react, the ground within several hundred meters was filled with incomplete corpses, and the pungent stench of blood instantly spread throughout the surroundings.
“Run!”
Seeing the scene before them, everyone chose to flee with all their might.
At this time, large-sized Phantasmal Beasts displayed their advantage, able to carry their masters and quickly escape.
“Lion King, take me with you.”
When the chaos first appeared, Zhou Ming seized the opportunity to retrieve the Ironthread Snake he had placed at the ruins entrance, then immediately made a request to Lion King beside him.
“No problem.”
The Violent Lion, over three meters long, was enough to bear the weight of two people, so Lion King did not refuse Zhou Ming’s request.
In the sky, Xu Chunjun, who was pursuing the Azure Moon Wolf King, saw the scene below and immediately felt anger rise in his heart.
The Azure Moon Wolf King’s actions were undoubtedly slapping him in the face.
Xu Chunjun immediately unleashed a combined attack technique.
“Starfall.”
A long spear three meters in length and as thick as an arm was raised by Xu Chunjun. The Dark-gold Fanged Tiger beneath him and his aura began to resonate.
The power of the Phantasmal Beast and the Beast Tamer fused into one in an instant. As Xu Chunjun thrust the long spear in his hand, it was as if the winds and clouds of heaven and earth changed color.
A black beam of light shot toward the Azure Moon Wolf King in an instant.
As a lord-level Ferocious Beast, although the Azure Moon Wolf King’s defense was inferior to other Ferocious Beasts of the same rank, its speed had already surpassed the speed of sound.
Facing Xu Chunjun’s killing move, it immediately flapped its twin wings to evade. The black beam of light formed by the Starfall technique brushed past the Azure Moon Wolf King.
The black beam struck a small hill a thousand meters away, and a scene of mountains collapsing and earth shattering appeared before the eyes of several thousand people.
Faced with such a scene, no one had the time to stop and exclaim in amazement. They only wanted to escape the battlefield where Xu Chunjun and the Azure Moon Wolf King were fighting as quickly as possible.
“So this is the power of a Transcendent Master?”
“And I wonder what kind of awe-inspiring power a Legendary Saint, a humanoid nuclear weapon, would unleash.”
Seeing the scene before him, the shock in Zhou Ming’s heart was self-evident, and he felt an even stronger yearning for power.
“Ten Thousand Snakes, you’d better pray you don’t encounter a Legendary Saint and a Legendary Beast King fighting. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to run.”
Lion King, who was controlling his own Phantasmal Beast, heard Zhou Ming’s sigh and spoke without turning his head.
Hearing this, Zhou Ming could only silently shake his head.
Without sufficient strength, one did not even have the qualification to watch the battle.
At the same time, on the boundless wilderness, massive Ferocious Beast hordes appeared before humanity.
Compared to the threat brought by Xu Chunjun and the Azure Moon Wolf King behind them, everyone charged toward the Ferocious Beast hordes without hesitation.
As long as they broke through the Ferocious Beast hordes before them, they would have a chance to live.
And Flower Scorpion, Doghead, and Mole also tacitly moved closer to Lion King. After their previous cooperation in the ruins, their trust in one another had clearly increased significantly.
