Chapter 272: Chapter 271: The Fourth Beast Emperor Level Fierce Beast (Please Subscribe)
This sentence, whether spoken by Meng Yu or Meng Xue, carries immense weight.
Especially when spoken by Meng Xue.
"Alright."
He nodded.
"Chen Fan, sis, take a seat. I’ll get you some water."
Meng Yu, happy like a little girl, pulled Meng Xue to sit on a bench, then brought out two clean bowls and placed them in front of the two, filling them with water.
"Aren’t you going to pour yourself a bowl too?"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
"No need."
Meng Yu waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes squinted into slits from the smile: "I’m not thirsty. Chen Fan, sis, drink up quickly."
"I’m not thirsty for now either."
Meng Xue looked at Meng Yu with a loving gaze, then shifted her eyes to Chen Fan and sincerely said, "Chen Fan, thank you. If it weren’t for you, our sisters would never have reunited even in death.
Moreover, if you hadn’t taken in little Yu back then, she might not have survived until now with her abilities."
"It was just a small favor."
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Didn’t you say there’s something very important you need to tell me?"
Meng Xue nodded: "You’ve fought with that person, haven’t you?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan recalled Du Hao’s appearance, frowned slightly, and said, "Is his superpower really clones?"
"Yes, his name is Du Hao. You’ve only killed his clone; if you can’t find his true self, you can’t kill him," Meng Xue replied.
"Then killing his clone, does it really have no impact on him?"
Chen Fan asked again.
"It does have an impact, a significant one."
Meng Xue said, "The death of a clone not only causes his power to regress but also makes his cultivation more difficult in the future.
The more clones he has, the harder it is to improve, eventually making his power stagnate at a certain stage."
"I see, so I wasn’t wrong."
Chen Fan slightly nodded.
He thought to himself, if it really had no impact, wouldn’t the guy be invincible?
Meng Xue saw this and showed a hint of helplessness: "But he’s not lying to you. His status in Jiulong City is very high, commanding several B-level Awakened.
This time, you killed his clone, he won’t take it lying down. He will definitely seek revenge. Moreover, this time, you saved me by killing several C-level Awakened in the city..."
Meng Yu, hearing this, covered her mouth tightly.
She suspected that the process of Chen Fan saving her sister wouldn’t be easy.
So, Chen Fan had directly barged in and killed those people to rescue her sister?
Meng Xue’s voice continued, "Predictably, soon this information will be reported. Then the Association will send hunters to track you down, so from now on, you’d better not use that identity again."
"I understand."
Chen Fan responded, even without Meng Xue’s reminder, he would have been cautious about this.
"The hunters you mentioned earlier are?"
"A department in the Awakened Association that recruits extremely powerful Awakened to hunt targets on the wanted list and eliminate cults and anti-human forces. Occasionally, they deal with Fierce Beasts, but their targets are mostly humans. Your identity will soon be on the wanted list as well," Meng Xue said apologetically.
"I see."
Chen Fan realized.
It seems only the top Awakened can enter this department.
"And there’s one more thing."
Meng Xue paused for a moment.
"This matter is much more severe than what I’ve just mentioned, so I hope you are mentally prepared."
Chen Fan was taken aback, feeling a sense of foreboding, "What is it?"
"A year ago, I foresaw the future and saw the outbreak of the Beast Tide."
Meng Xue’s eyes showed sadness, "This Beast Tide surpasses any previous ones. The scene from ten years ago will be replayed, and this time, it’s even more terrifying."
As her voice fell, the room plunged into a deathly silence.
Meng Yu’s smiling face completely froze.
Her eyes showed panic as she asked again in disbelief: "Sis, did you just say that the scene from ten years ago will replay?"
"Yes."
Meng Xue nodded gently, "I saw the Beast Tide flooding our Yan Country like a torrent, engulfing countless cities. Flying types of Fierce Beasts darkened the sky, and in the ocean, there were countless Fierce Beasts crawling out. Moreover..."
Her eyes showed fear.
"Moreover what?"
Chen Fan asked hurriedly.
"I don’t know, because at that time I felt an extreme danger. If I continued foreseeing, I would die, so I stopped. But I have a premonition that the appearance of this Beast Tide means a fourth Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast might have emerged."
"The fourth..."
Chen Fan shivered.
According to Uncle Zhang, the Human Race has only three S-Class Awakened, which form a delicate balance with the three Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts.
Both parties are striving fiercely to break this balance.
And now, it seems the Fierce Beasts have won?
"Perhaps, I might be overthinking,"
Meng Xue said. "But the outbreak of the Beast Tide is certain to happen. At that time, not just Anshan City, even cities like Jiulong City will fall. Only large cities and three mega-cities are our Yan Country’s last hope. Chen Fan, I hope you can prepare early."
"How can this be?"
Meng Yu’s eyes reddened.
Apart from those large and mega cities, all other places will fall. That means the Chen Family Fortress where she is now will also be inevitably flooded by Fierce Beasts.
What about the people in the fortress?
Like her, they had barely settled down, barely found hope in life, and now, once again, they will face chaos, even losing their lives.
Chen Fan also fell silent.
Meng Xue’s words caught him off guard.
After a long pause, he asked, "Do you know the exact time?"
"It’s just about to start. The fall of Anshan City is a prelude."
Meng Xue sighed.
"I saw several Commander-level Fierce Beasts leading the Beast Tide attacking Anshan City, with countless casualties."
"So you mean Anshan City will only face the attack of Commander-level Fierce Beasts next?"
Chen Fan keenly sensed something.
Meng Xue paused, seeming to understand Chen Fan’s intent, "You want to stay and resist this Beast Tide?"
"I have this thought."
Chen Fan nodded.
If a Beast Emperor-level or Beast King-level Fierce Beast led the Beast Tide, he could only flee, as a green mountain wouldn’t fear not having firewood.
The people in the fortress and Anshan City, even if he wanted to save them, couldn’t be assisted with his current abilities.
But if it’s only Commander-level Fierce Beasts, he might manage to resist this Beast Tide with some effort.
Meng Xue was momentarily stunned.
She hoped to tell Chen Fan these things so he could prepare early and find a way to send his important people to large or mega cities, ensuring their survival even during the Beast Tide.
Unless the Human Race loses this battle, they would have nowhere to escape to.
In the end, he wants to stay?
"Chen Fan, don’t be impulsive. The Beast Tide isn’t simple. Just thousands of middle and high-level Fierce Beasts charging alone aren’t easy to fend off,
let alone with several Commander-level Fierce Beasts. They, like us, have intelligence and can formulate strategies."
"But, sis," Meng Yu couldn’t help saying, "Haven’t we resisted past Beast Tides before?"
"It’s different."
Meng Xue shook her head, "None of those past tides had Commander-level Fierce Beasts participating directly. The most dangerous time, Anshan City almost fell due to a single Commander-level Fierce Beast directing from afar."
"Only one!"
Meng Yu’s eyes widened.
Just one Commander-level Fierce Beast caused such significant pressure on Anshan City.
If another came, the danger level of the Beast Tide would exponentially increase!
Meng Xue looked at Chen Fan, her tone earnest: "Chen Fan, I know you can’t bear to abandon everyone in the fortress, but it’s inevitable. And to be blunt, this Beast Tide,
the large and mega cities might be more dangerous as they’ll likely face the strongest Fierce Beasts. Even so, they are still much safer than small and medium-sized cities."
"Meng Xue, I understand your kindness."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
"But I always believe that one should see things through to the end. Yan Ming and those guys indeed deserved to die, not just for ordinary people, but even Martial Artists were seen as ants by them.
But undeniably, they indirectly saved many lives. I killed them, which directly weakened Anshan City’s defenses. If the Beast Tide breaks out, even without Commander-level Fierce Beasts, Anshan City won’t hold. So, I must stay and protect this city."
Meng Xue was completely stunned.
Meng Yu’s eyes sparkled, knowing this was the Chen Fan she knew.
"But, I promise you, if it reaches the point of life and death, I’ll leave the ordinary people behind and run without hesitation. However, I won’t give up without trying my best,
After all, you’re able to foresee, aren’t you? If you predict that even I can’t turn the tide, you can tell me in advance, right?"
The room fell silent, with the three looking at each other.
Meng Xue felt a complex mix of emotions.
She had to admit, Chen Fan was different from Yan Ming and the others.
When it came to this, the latter only thought of fleeing, not considering the lives of tens of thousands in Anshan City.
After a long pause, she bitterly smiled, "Chen Fan, things aren’t as optimistic as you think. I’d love to help predict the future, but my body can no longer support such large-scale foreseeing."
