"If that's the case, it probably won't be as simple as we imagined!" Lu Fan shook his head and said, "The beast tide likely won't stop just like that. It's very possible it's a feint!"
"Why do you say that?"
City Lord Wushuang looked at Lu Fan with surprise. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to say such a thing.
"I'm just suspecting it. Whether it's true or not depends on the trend of this beast tide!" Lu Fan gave an embarrassed chuckle.
"The strange beasts of the Desolate Ancient World are all unusual!"
Ancestor Tianhuo chimed in, "This beast tide is naturally no simple matter! If it were so easily repelled, it wouldn't be appearing on such a large scale!"
City Lord Wushuang frowned. Even he was somewhat at a loss. He had stayed in Wushuang City for many years and had never encountered anything like this.
As they were conversing, in the east, west, and south of Wushuang City, monsters with green faces and fangs suddenly appeared. These monsters were exuding an aura and letting out a series of shrieks. Following their calls, the dissipated beast tide suddenly increased, surging like a tide.
"What's going on? What kind of monster is this? It can actually summon strange beasts!"
Zhao Xiaotian frowned deeply. They were under immense pressure. If a few more waves of the beast tide came, they would likely die from exhaustion of spiritual energy. This was truly terrifying.
"There's a monster in every direction. If we kill these monsters, does it mean we can successfully repel the beast tide?" Lu Fan spoke. Su Dan Novel Network
"I think so too!" City Lord Wushuang nodded. "However, these green-faced, fanged monsters are not to be trifled with. Their aura seems to have reached the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm. If that's the case, it will be extremely tricky!"
"Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm?"
Zhao Xiaotian's brow furrowed. Although he was exceptionally talented and had entered the Desolate Ancient World long ago, he was only at the Second Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm. To contend with an expert at the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm would be seeking his own death.
"The Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm is indeed very strong!"
Ancestor Tianhuo said, "And there are at least four monsters at the Heavenly Lord Realm's Dead End stage. To kill them all, it's impossible for us with our current strength!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
City Lord Wushuang shook his head. "If we gather all the experts, perhaps we will have a chance to fight!"
Following his words, a heavy expression settled on everyone's faces.
Among them, the strongest was only at the Third Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm. Even City Lord Wushuang was merely at the cusp of the Dead End stage. If they were truly to deal with these monsters, they would have no power to resist.
City Lord Wushuang pondered for a moment before gathering all the experts. "We will divide into four groups to trap the monsters, while I will launch a strong attack to kill them. As long as you can hold off the other three, we will have a certain chance of victory!"
"Monsters at the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm, with just us?" Gu Jianxiu sneered. "Although I'm exceptionally talented, I won't do something like this. It's too foolish. That monster is still so powerful within the beast tide. Killing it is harder than ascending to heaven!"
"It can summon strange beasts, which is equivalent to a spring eye. If the spring eye isn't broken, how can we survive?" City Lord Wushuang stated directly. "I believe my words have already alerted you!"
Gu Jianxiu's expression turned grim, but he couldn't refute. Just as City Lord Wushuang said, if this spring eye wasn't broken, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for them.
The beast tide was endless. Who would be able to resist it then?
"Everything will be according to the City Lord's arrangements!" Lu Fan cupped his fists. "As long as we can delay the monsters, and City Lord Wushuang makes his move, there will surely be a turning point!"
The others also nodded in agreement. It seemed that only by doing so could they protect Wushuang City.
After a period of discussion, everyone reached an agreement and divided into four groups. The other three groups had many members, while City Lord Wushuang prepared to face one of the monsters alone.
At present, manpower was scarce, and as the City Lord of Wushuang City and the most powerful among them, he naturally had to do so.
"Kid, you need to be careful later. We don't have many people on our side!" Ancestor Tianhuo reminded him. "As long as we can hold off the monster, we'll have a chance."
"I'm afraid things aren't that simple!" Lu Fan shook his head. "Although City Lord Wushuang is also a Fourth Stage Heavenly Lord expert, that monster is not weak either. How could City Lord Wushuang possibly kill it!"
"But City Lord Wushuang just said we only needed to hold off the monsters!" Zhao Xiaotian said in surprise.
"This is a critical moment, and no mistakes can be made. To give everyone more confidence, City Lord Wushuang could only say that," Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "So, what we need to do later is not just to hold off the monsters, but to go all out. As long as we can kill one of the monsters, we can rush to support other areas, and then the crisis will be resolved!"
Zhao Xiaotian nodded solemnly. As expected, Lu Fan's considerations were more thorough, and his words were very insightful.
"With just us, how can it be so easy to kill a monster at the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Lord Realm!"
Ancestor Tianhuo said with a look of helplessness, his tone filled with resignation.
Lu Fan, however, remained calm, as if everything was within his control.
At least in his eyes, the green-faced, fanged monster was not that difficult to deal with. As long as they were united, they could definitely kill it.
In the blink of an eye, the protective formation of Wushuang City was instantly activated. Numerous experts turned into gusts of wind, surging forward, appearing exceptionally imposing.
Seeing this scene, the green-faced, fanged monster seemed to sense the danger and then summoned many beast tides to approach its surroundings, clearly intending for them to block these people.
"A dignified Fourth Stage Heavenly Lord, are you afraid of death!"
With a slight upturn of his lips, Lu Fan said coldly, and then leaped up, charging towards the monster.
However, in that instant, numerous demonic beasts swarmed in, directly blocking Lu Fan's attack, clearly intending to protect the monster.
In that very moment, the heavenly fire power from Ancestor Tianhuo surged out, carrying an unparalleled aura, burning all the approaching strange beasts into ashes.
Seeing this, the green-faced, fanged monster became furious, its aura becoming terrifying. It let out a sound of the netherworld from the corner of its mouth.
Upon hearing this sound, Lu Fan and the others turned pale instantly. They had clearly not expected this monster to understand mental control. The sound was peculiar and, upon entering their ears, seemed to possess a pulling force, capable of illusioning the divine sense. If their willpower was not strong, they would inevitably be controlled by this demonic beast, perhaps becoming puppets.
"Everyone be careful, don't listen to its voice!" Lu Fan reminded them.
