"You are unaware that there are many monsters in this area. Many powerful individuals within the Southern Zhuo Dynasty keep monsters as pets. Because some monsters always manage to escape and cause trouble for the surrounding kingdoms, the Canglan Kingdom is afraid of making a mistake and offending the powerful individuals of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. Therefore, there are very few large-scale monster clearances in this area, and many cities have even been forced to relocate," Jia Xun explained, causing the crowd to suddenly realize and also feel a hint of sympathy for the Canglan Kingdom.
Despite their sympathy, the group had to continue moving forward.
Soon, they arrived at the city gate. After the captain of the guards explained their identities, the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at them strangely and said, "Is the Little Overlord Qin Jun in the carriage?"
Little Overlord?
The guards and the five of them were stunned for a moment, but upon careful consideration, the title "Little Overlord" was indeed quite fitting for Qin Jun.
Qin Jun, sitting in the carriage, twitched his mouth and said, "How did I become a learning machine?"
"What's a learning machine?" Little Li asked curiously, and Daji's gaze also turned to him.
"Uh... you guys wouldn't understand. It's a treasure that only exists in legends!" Qin Jun said mysteriously, but he was actually laughing inside.
A legendary treasure!
The two women were both shaken and showed a longing expression on their faces.
At that moment, the ground began to tremble slightly, causing the carriage to shake as well. Daji and Little Li's expressions changed at the same time, and Daji exclaimed, "Not good! A large wave of beasts is attacking here!"
"A beast wave?"
Qin Jun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of the scene when the beast wave bid farewell to the Howling Celestial Hound. Even now, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation.
But with strong individuals like Taibai Venus present, they shouldn't be afraid of the beast wave.
"This beast wave is led by a monster king!" Daji said with a solemn expression, causing Qin Jun's face to change.
Monster king!
At the very least, they would need to break through the Void Realm!
At the same time, the others also noticed something was amiss. The soldier who had been talking to the captain of the guards hurriedly shouted, "Quick, enter the city! Close the city gates! Another beast wave is coming!"
The name "beast wave" was enough to make people tremble in fear in any kingdom. The captain of the guards quickly ushered the group into the city, and after everyone had entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city gates quickly closed the gates.
At this moment, a black line appeared on the horizon, which was the beast wave.
Countless monsters were rushing towards them, most of them were first and second-tier monsters, but upon closer inspection, there were also shadows of third-tier monsters. There were monster pythons as thick as water barrels, and monster bears as strong as small mountains. All kinds of monsters were present, each one fierce and ferocious, as if they were going to trample the city.
The soldiers on the city wall were sweating profusely, and some of them were even trembling in fear.
Looking out, the beast wave seemed to be sweeping towards them like an ocean, causing anyone who saw this scene to be filled with fear.
After entering the city, Qin Jun got out of the carriage, with Little Li and Daji following closely behind.
The terrifying roar of the beasts outside the city was enough to make all the people and cultivators in the city feel frightened, including Qin Yun and the others.
"Can I go up to the city wall to take a look?" Qin Jun asked the officer next to him.
The officer subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking that Qin Jun was the recently rising Little Overlord, and might be able to help them, he nodded in agreement.
Taibai Venus, Fǎ Hǎi, Daji, Little Li, Howling Celestial Hound, and Blood Blade King followed him. As for Cang Junlang, he chose to continue on the road around the city, as entering the city would surely cause panic.
"We'll go up too!"
Jia Xun said to the frightened Qin Yun, who instinctively wanted to refuse, but upon thinking of Qin Jun's subordinates, he mustered up the courage and followed Jia Xun's footsteps.
Zhu Yanqing didn't say anything, and directly followed them to the nearby ladder. Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the others could only grit their teeth and follow.
When they reached the city wall, the soldiers paid no attention to them, but were looking at the beast wave rushing towards them in horror. The beast wave was less than two kilometers away from the city wall, and the trees on both sides were being knocked down by the monsters, causing dust to fly up as if a flood was sweeping in.
This scene made Qin Yun, Jia Xun, and Ye Xuan and the others who had just come up to the city wall tremble with fear. They had never seen such a large-scale beast wave before.
"Why is there such a large-scale beast wave..." a soldier next to them muttered in despair.
Qin Jun couldn't help but frown and ask, "Do beast waves often occur in this area?"
He thought of the skeletons they had encountered earlier, which indicated that the city had already experienced beast waves before.
The soldier answered desolately, "Yes, but as the time for the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament gets closer, the monster kings of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty always find opportunities to escape. It is said that a city tens of miles away was destroyed by a beast wave half a month ago, and no one survived."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jun and the others' faces changed dramatically. Daji and Little Li were fine, after all, they were not part of the human race. But Qin Jun and the others were different. How many people would there be in a city?
Even if it didn't have a million people, it would have tens of thousands. And they had all died under the claws of monsters, giving them a heavy feeling of sorrow.
"Monster kings can easily gather a large number of monsters, and their attacks on human cities may be out of a sense of revenge," Taibai Venus suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to look at him in surprise.
Taibai Venus continued, "As monster kings, how many of them can truly be loyal? So after being forcibly subdued by the strong individuals of the human race, most of them would have feelings of resentment, after all, most of the strong individuals had used cruel methods to subdue the monsters."
After he explained this, everyone suddenly realized.
Everyone couldn't help but cast strange looks at Qin Jun. Just how had he subdued the Howling Celestial Hound?
"Young master, do you need me to take action?" the Howling Celestial Hound asked Qin Jun through a mental message. As a monster king, it naturally had the confidence to stop the beast wave.
Lord Qin shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, it's not the time for the city to fall yet, and we are not the Red Scarves!"
Red Scarves?
There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of the Howling Celestial Hound, but it didn't ask further. It had gotten used to Lord Qin occasionally using new vocabulary.
As a flesh-and-blood normal person, Lord Qin naturally couldn't bear to see the people of the entire city being slaughtered by the beast tide, but he also didn't want to contribute to the enemy's city. He preferred to let the soldiers defend the city and only intervene when the city fell.
He only wanted to save the people, not the city.
Boom!
Countless monsters crashed into the city wall, blood splattered on the wall, and everyone standing above the city wall clearly felt it shake violently, as if it was about to collapse.
"Damn, are these monsters crazy?"
Lord Qin looked down at the monsters below, who were already covered in blood and cursed, and the rest of the people looked on with palpitations.
The Howling Celestial Hound and Daji frowned, as members of the demon race, they naturally could see that these monsters were being manipulated by some force, which made them so frenzied.
"A bunch of beasts! How dare they block my path, seeking death!"
Just then, an extremely domineering roar came from the end of the horizon, like a god roaring, shaking most of the people on the city wall, and the volume was unimaginable.
The Five Super Strong, including Tai Bai Jin Xing, Fa Hai, the Howling Celestial Hound, Daji, and Xiao Li, all had a change in their expressions.
