Chapter 1 The First Beast Tide

Hoo hoo hoo~~~

Endless hordes of ferocious beasts surged towards Lin En. Each red-eyed creature, devoid of reason, swarmed forward.

.....

Each time he swung the Giant Dragon's Fang in his hand, a large swath of beasts was cleared away. The Rank 2 beasts were no match for Lin En; the Rank 5 Giant Dragon's Fang greatsword could tear their bodies apart.

Lin En mowed them down like grass, continuously reaping with his greatsword. Within the beast tide, each swing of Lin En's greatsword cleared a small area, but it would be filled again in the next second.

After clearing the area around him once more, Lin En looked at the beasts filling the space and sighed in resignation. There were simply too many. He was getting bleary-eyed from all the killing. "Forget it, I'll go back and rest for a while."

He unleashed Explosive Flame Slash, instantly turning the beasts in front of him to ashes. Lin En pushed off with his feet, and with a whoosh, quickly charged towards the thorny wall.

The roars of the beasts filled his ears, annoying Lin En. He continuously swung the Giant Dragon's Fang in his hand, hacking his way all the way to the base of the thorny wall.

"Huh?" Lin En looked at the tall thorny wall in front of him, feeling puzzled. "I don't remember the thorny wall being this tall. When did it get so high?"

After clearing away the beasts behind him, Lin En was about to jump up when a thorny vine, its thorns retracted, extended down. He looked at the vine in front of him, paused for a moment, then grabbed the vine and was pulled up.

Landing on top of the wall, Lin En watched as the thorny vine retracted into the wall. He quickly opened the thorny wall's interface and began to examine it. After a while, Lin En closed the interface. "Amazing. This growth skill is a little too insane."

However, this was the limit. The Rank 1 and Rank 2 beasts were no longer useful to the thorny wall. If it wanted to continue growing, it needed higher-ranked beasts.

He could only look forward to the next beast siege.

After looking around, he finally saw Lina next to a carnivorous plant-like monster. Seeing her, Lin En walked over.

.....

Lina looked at the dark mass of beasts below, mechanically pulling back her bow, firing arrow after arrow. "Ugh... the magic power in my body hasn't stopped surging. Otherwise, one magic spell from me would wipe out a large area."

"Ah, how many times have I drawn my bow? How many arrows have I shot?" Lina thought absently as she drew her bow.

"Huh? Where's Lin En?" Looking at Lin En, who had been slaughtering the beasts, she couldn't see him down below. She scanned the area but still couldn't find him. "Where did he run off to?"

Lina stopped drawing her bow. "Could he have gone off to slack off?" The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was true.

Ugh~~ Lina's small face instantly puffed up.

.....

As soon as Lin En arrived, he saw Lina with her puffed-up face. She looked extremely adorable.

Lin En: "Lina, why are you puffing up your cheeks?"

Huh? Lina turned her round, puffy face towards Lin En. ??????

(๑¯³¯๑)

Lina: "Lin En, when did you come up here?"

Lin En looked at her puffy cheeks and gently pressed them with his hand. "There, it's gone down."

Lin En: "I just came up. There are too many beasts down there, and I can't kill them all. Seeing that they can't break the thorny wall's defenses, I came up to rest for a while."

Lina: "Yeah, I've been drawing my bow for who knows how many hours now. It's so boring."

Lin En looked up at the sky, where the time displayed 12:53.

Lin En: "It's been so long? I didn't even notice. Time really flies. No wonder I felt the sky was a bit dark just now. From six in the morning to six in the evening, I didn't even feel hungry."

Lina touched her stomach and said, "We can go without eating for a few days now, it'll just be a little uncomfortable."

Lin En glanced at Lina touching her stomach, and without a word, turned and walked towards the treehouse.

Lina: "Where are you going?"

Lin En: "To cook."

Lina: "Oh~~."

After taking another look at the monsters still dutifully releasing skills, Lina also left the thorny wall and went to the treehouse.

.....

Night fell, and Lin En and Lina ate dinner while listening to the roars outside. After getting used to it, they didn't find it noisy anymore.

.....

He glanced at the countdown in the sky, which read 9:34.

Arriving on the thorny wall, there were no monsters left. They had all returned to their monster space. There was no other way. They had been fighting continuously for over ten hours, and they were all exhausted.

Looking at the beasts constantly attacking the thorny wall below, Lin En thought, "You're just throwing your lives away."

"Huh? What's that?"

Within the beast tide, Lin En saw several golden, glittering beasts. He counted four of them. Lin En took out the Giant Dragon's Fang and jumped down. As soon as he landed, the beasts pounced on him.

The merciless killing machine reappeared. Lin En swung left and right, heading straight towards the golden, special beasts. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

He quickly arrived in front of the golden beasts. They were glittering gold, very beautiful, and each one was at the peak of Rank 2, with one attribute reaching 99 points.

As soon as the golden beasts saw Lin En, they charged straight at him. Two of them opened their bloody mouths, ready to tear him apart.

Looking at the golden beasts flying towards him to their deaths, Lin En sent an Explosive Flame Slash towards them.

With a bang.

When the flames dissipated, there wasn't even any ash left in front of him.

"Huh?" Lin En watched as the beasts ran past him. The rumbling sound of their footsteps echoed. Soon, all the beasts disappeared into the stone walls of the cavern.

"This is the rest period?" "What the hell? A Rank 3 person might not even be able to survive in a beast tide, let alone these golden beasts, which are not weak. They might not even be able to defeat normal Rank 2 beasts."

He glanced at the countdown, and next to it was a rest period of two hours.

Returning to the treehouse, Lin En sat on the sofa and opened the [Chat] page to see how others were doing. After all, don't think I look relaxed, but I'm cheating.

.....

"Wow, you scared me. Luckily, I only got a random dozen or so Rank 1 beasts. Relying on my wooden house, I managed to kill them."

"That's lucky. I saw that many people's avatars have already gone dark. These are the ones who didn't make it."

.....

"Yeah, I had hundreds of beasts show up. Luckily, I only have to hold out for an hour. Fortunately, my cavern is full of giant trees. I just climbed up a tree and watched the beasts tear down my wooden house."

"I'm already Rank 3, and I almost died. This is only the first beast siege. I don't know if I'll be able to survive the next one."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it said that there will be profession inheritances? If we obtain a profession, we will definitely be able to grow quickly."

.....

.....

Lin En closed the chat page with a dark face. So, my difficulty is the hardest??
