"No wonder his strength has grown so quickly."
Elder Wang marveled to himself.
He hadn’t expected Chen Fan to use this move. He was still worried about how to withstand the Beast Tide.
Under the city walls, the Fierce Beasts continued to advance relentlessly.
Some Elite-level Fierce Beasts thought they had seized an opportunity and leapt forward, but in less than a second, they were dissolved by the Sword Qi Domain.
Several minutes passed and countless Fierce Beasts died.
The people on the city wall gradually relaxed and began to whisper among themselves.
"Those Fierce Beasts are really dumb, seeing their companions in front disappear one after another, they still charge ahead."
"Isn’t that good? I wish all of them would just rush in."
"Yes, but what a waste of top-grade Fierce Beast Meat."
Someone lamented.
"What time is it, and you’re still thinking about that," a nearby person said irritably, "if those beasts break in, we’ll be the ones getting eaten."
"Exactly, surviving this is already a stroke of luck, forget about those things."
"No, no." The person scratched his head sheepishly, "I was just joking. Surviving is more important than anything else."
In the distance,
the Snake King’s left head revealed a proud look in its eyes.
"After so long, that human city should have been taken by now."
Although they did not fear human cannons, getting hit could still be troublesome and embarrassing.
So they deliberately stood out of range, at least a hundred li away from Anshan City, making it impossible to see what was happening ahead and relying on experience to judge.
"Certainly."
The right head spoke with a firm tone.
Their hand wasn’t just these cards.
They also had over a hundred to two hundred thousand burrowing Fierce Beasts.
At the moment the vanguard approached the human city walls, the ones lurking underground would also strike abruptly, catching the humans off guard.
They had used this tactic on medium cities numerous times, almost unfailingly.
Hence, even medium cities could not avoid their onslaught; what chance did a tiny city have?
"King, shall we depart now?"
the ice-blue serpent on the left asked.
"Yes, let’s move out now."
said the giant serpent on the right, drooling.
"You all go."
the head in the middle said with an air of confidence, "A mere tiny human city isn’t even worth my attention."
"Yes, my King."
The two giant serpents exchanged glances and hissed towards the back, leading about half of the Commander-level Fierce Beasts toward Anshan City.
"What a shame, the front is just a tiny city, how many people could there be? Not even enough to fill the gaps in my teeth."
The black-and-red venomous snake muttered while slithering quickly.
The ice-blue giant snake flicked its tongue, "This time is just an appetizer. Once we take this city, the King will lead us to join forces with other Kings to attack large cities."
"What? We have to cooperate with other Beast Kings?"
Black Ring Giant Snake was furious, "Why do we need to cooperate with them? Can’t we handle it ourselves? There aren’t that many humans to begin with. Even if we break the city, how many humans will there be left for us?"
"Attacking large cities is not as simple as you think."
Ice-blue giant snake glanced at it, "Whether it’s tiny cities or medium cities, they are just cannon fodder for humans. The ones inside are just garbage, like those guys charging at us. The truly powerful are all in large cities and those three super-large cities.
Just relying on us, the chance of breaking a large city is slim. If we’re not careful, even we, including the King, could be killed by the powerful humans. Only by teaming up with other Beast Kings can we have a better chance and ensure our safety."
"Alright, alright."
Black Ring Giant Snake agreed reluctantly.
It couldn’t stand this guy’s endless reasoning.
The ice-blue giant snake, seeing the attitude, said no more.
Soon, they arrived at the battlefield.
However, it was not as they had imagined, with the city walls in ruins, giant beasts flooding the city and humans’ screams filling the air.
The city was still intact before their eyes.
Inside the city, it was very quiet with no signs of Fierce Beast ravages.
Even a fool would sense something was wrong.
"How could this be?"
The ice-blue giant snake was puzzled, "Didn’t the King say that the burrowing beasts would launch an attack from inside the city? Why is there no movement now?"
"Could those guys have overslept?" Black Ring Giant Snake snarled, "I told the King those guys were unreliable. Now, look, I should have eaten them earlier!"
"No, impossible." The ice-blue giant snake shook its head.
Those guys would never dare to disobey orders. They wouldn’t have the guts even if given ten times the courage.
But why is the city so quiet?
Did they really oversleep?
"No, something’s wrong."
Suddenly, its eyes focused on a scene in front of the city walls.
The air was violently rippling as if something was inside it.
The Fierce Beasts charging in, once they entered it, would vaporize instantly.
It squinted its eyes and soon saw clearly what it was.
Sword Qi.
Sword Qi moving back and forth formed a barrier, blocking all the Fierce Beasts outside.
Any Fierce Beast that took a step forward would immediately be melted by dense Sword Qi, without even having the time to scream.
"Damn it, there’s a human strong here!"
It said.
"What, a human strong?" Black Ring Giant Snake laughed, "Are you kidding? You just said those left here are abandoned ones, why would a strong human stay in a tiny city?"
"No, it’s different now, look there." Ice-blue giant snake explained its discovery.
Black Ring Giant Snake’s pupils constricted.
It realized something was wrong.
The fools below still kept charging, didn’t they have any suspicion about their disappearing companions?
Indeed, if they had such abilities, they wouldn’t be cannon fodder.
"Now what? Charge or halt the attack?" Black Ring Giant Snake asked.
"We can’t halt the attack."
Ice-blue giant snake shook its head,
"Even if there’s a strong human here, he won’t last long. If we retreat now, it’d be hard to explain to the King and would give that guy a chance to breathe."
Its gaze soon fixed on Chen Fan on the distant city wall.
"I found him!"
Excitement gleamed in the ice-blue giant snake’s eyes.
"Everyone, attack at all costs and kill that human."
It turned and ordered the fifty Commander-level Fierce Beasts behind it via telepathy.
The roars continued unending, and the fifty Commander-level Fierce Beasts over ten meters tall made their way towards Anshan City.
Some mid to high-level Fierce Beasts, caught off guard, were trampled into mush.
"At any cost?"
Black Ring Giant Snake glanced at it, "Isn’t that overdoing it? Isn’t our main task to break this little city?"
"No, a mere tiny city doesn’t matter. Even if left alone, so what? Will the people inside dare to come out? But, if we can kill that human here,
it would be worth much more than destroying dozens of tiny human cities. Believe me, Black Ring, there aren’t many in the entire human camp stronger than that one. Killing him would definitely be a huge gain!"
The ice-blue giant snake grew more excited as it spoke.
No wonder this city hadn’t fallen, there was a super strong human guarding it!
Killing him would severely damage the entire Human Race, and if it could eat his corpse, its strength would greatly increase!
