Chapter 8 Terror Beast Tide

That night, Daji caught three wild rabbits for barbecue. Because she didn't like Chang Hao, Qin Jun didn't share the roasted rabbits with him, which made him very annoyed. Even when Chang Qianqian offered to share with him, he refused.

The dignity of a man!

Chang Hao quietly ate his coarse food, but in his heart, he cursed Qin Jun and his ancestors.

After finishing the roasted rabbits, the exhausted Qin Jun and the others leaned against a big tree to sleep. Daji sat in the middle, with Qin Jun and Chang Qianqian on either side, which made Chang Hao grind his teeth in anger.

The night passed without a word. Although the wilderness occasionally echoed with the howls of wild beasts, Qin Jun slept soundly due to exhaustion.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Qin Jun felt an itch in his nose. Slowly opening his eyes, he was startled to see Chang Qianqian's pretty face so close to him, causing him to jump up, and Chang Qianqian fell to the ground.

"What the heck! Why are you scaring me so early in the morning!" Qin Jun cursed, while his right hand kept patting his chest, his heart beating too fast.

"You dare to curse my junior sister!" Chang Hao, not far away, immediately became unhappy and took a few steps towards Qin Jun, as if he was about to start a fight.

Qin Jun, who had already reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, was not afraid of him. He glared and said, "You have a problem? Come on!"

Chang Hao trembled with anger. He just wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Qin Jun to be so tough.

"Alright, I apologize. It's not my fault you were sleeping so soundly!" Chang Qianqian stood up, patting her bottom. Her face was full of displeasure. She just wanted to tease Qin Jun, but she didn't expect such a big reaction from him.

Qin Jun looked around and saw Daji sitting by the riverbank, looking at him with a half-smile. He suddenly realized that he was the last one to wake up, and looking at the big sun in the sky, it was probably close to nine o'clock.

His face turned slightly red, and he coughed, "Let's get going!"

"You're embarrassed too!" Chang Qianqian said, covering her mouth and laughing.

Life is tough!

Qin Jun thought to himself in frustration, while Chang Hao, seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, couldn't help but feel angry.

"Junior sister! Let your senior brother help you vent. Why don't you talk to me!" Chang Hao thought bitterly, but he didn't dare to show it and could only stand behind Chang Qianqian with a grim face.

After washing his face by the lake, Qin Jun led the group to leave.

The location of Xuanling Sect was conveniently on the way to the capital.

The four of them disappeared into the woods. Along the way, Qin Jun was thinking about when the Xiong Tian Dog would appear.

It was a powerful expert at the Earthly Immortal stage!

With the Xiong Tian Dog, his bodyguard force would be even stronger, and he could even dominate the entire Qianyue Kingdom!

"By the way, where are the other subordinates of Xiahou En?" Qin Jun asked Chang Qianqian as they walked. Xiahou En's head was still in his storage ring. If they encountered other rebels, he would first show Xiahou En's head to draw their attention and then gain experience points.

It was a perfect battle plan, and Qin Jun was almost moved by his own ingenuity.

"I don't know. Xiahou En is constantly being chased by General Nan Meng, and his soldiers are getting fewer and fewer. No one knows the location of his main camp. Every time he goes out, he only brings a few dozen people with him," Chang Qianqian shook her head.

Qin Jun nodded. If Xiahou En really had a large army, he would have rebelled long ago. How could he be constantly chased by the kingdom's army?

Moreover, Xiahou En's cruel crimes probably attracted people to join his ranks.

"Sigh!" Qin Jun sighed in disappointment.

Chang Hao, who was walking at the back, twitched his mouth. In his opinion, Qin Jun was just showing off.

Did he think he was great just because he killed Xiahou En?

If it weren't for Daji's help, Qin Jun wouldn't have been a match for Xiahou En at all.

Even so, he didn't dare to act on his dislike for Qin Jun.

They continued in silence.

As they approached noon, the four of them crossed a small hill and arrived on a barren plain. Looking around, the plain seemed endless, as if it had no end, giving a sense of despair. In the sky, there were many monstrous birds and beasts flying, their size and appearance sending shivers down one's spine.

"Monstrous beasts are divided into ten ranks, each with nine levels. The first rank is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, the second rank to the Core Formation stage, the third rank to the Golden Core stage, and the fourth rank to the Nascent Soul stage. When a monstrous beast reaches the fifth rank, it can transform," Daji explained to Qin Jun, who couldn't help but marvel at it.

Chang Qianqian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the Nascent Soul stage above the Nascent Soul stage? There is no information about the Nascent Soul stage within our Xuanling Sect."

Qin Jun sneered. Your Xuanling Sect is just rubbish.

"In fact, there is, but it's classified, and ordinary disciples don't have the qualifications to know," Chang Hao said indifferently. He wanted to show off, but his words had a different meaning to Chang Qianqian.

As the daughter of the sect master, I don't have the qualifications to know?

Chang Qianqian pouted, feeling even more resentful towards her senior brother.

At that moment, the earth suddenly trembled, and the four of them turned to look. They saw a black line appearing at the junction of the sky and earth in the east, and Qin Jun frowned. When he took a closer look, he was almost scared out of his wits.

Damn it!

Countless monstrous beasts were rushing towards them from the east, of all kinds—dragons, snakes, tigers, leopards, bears, and more. They were all several times larger than the animals on Earth, and there were even dozens of monstrous beasts comparable to small mountains. The scene was spectacular.

"Run!" Daji shouted, instantly waking Qin Jun and the others from their shock.

The four of them began to run in the direction perpendicular to the beast tide.

Qin Jun didn't want to be diverted from the direction by the beast tide. He quickly called out, "Daji, quickly take me and Chang Qianqian and fly!"

(Note: This is a translation of the provided text from Chinese to English. The translation aims to capture the meaning and tone of the original text.)

Daji instantly understood, reaching out with both hands to grab the waists of Qin Jun and Chang Qianqian, and flew up directly.

"Mom!"

Chang Hao was dumbfounded, "What about me?"

"Wait for me!" Chang Hao shouted in panic, but Qin Jun ignored him.

Jokingly, Daji only had two hands, and besides, his side mission was to escort Chang Qianqian back to Xuanling Sect, not including Chang Hao.

This kid Chang Hao always peeks at Daji, and Qin Jun has long been displeased with him.

Meanwhile, a group of cultivators were running ahead of the beast tide, men and women, all covered in blood and looking very disheveled.

"Run over there! There are people over there!" a bearded man pointed in the direction of Qin Jun and the others, and the other cultivators quickly ran towards them.

In the wilderness, when encountering a beast attack, you don't need to run the fastest, just not the slowest!

"Damn it! A bunch of scum!" Chang Hao, who was closely following Qin Jun and the others, couldn't help but curse when he saw that the group of cultivators was actually leading the beast tide in their direction.

At the same time, a black dog that looked like a domesticated one with its tongue hanging out surpassed the cultivators. With its long limbs, it ran in a rather comical manner, and its target was none other than Qin Jun and the others.

"Damn! How can this mutt run so fast?"

"Damn it! Can't stand it! Being surpassed by a black dog!"

"Run for your life! Don't mind it!"

"It's not even a monster, yet it can run so fast! It's infuriating!"
