658 Fire Lion Beas (1/2)
Some adjustments were made.
Su Hao led the crowd to continue their journey.
Since they already experienced it once, their joint attack is now more proficient and the effect became more effective. Plus, excluding the bad luck of stumbling upon those strong espers from the Xue family, the domain espers from other families weren't that domineering.
Under Su Hao's deliberate twist, more and more battles of randomness broke out!
Humans versus beasts.
Without any reason, they fought the moment their eyes met!
Just like that, those sent by the families to support these students were all killed. In fact, many of those domain espers died in such a bad way; especially when they saw their family members who were revealed at crucial moments.
Although their lives weren't sacrificed in vain.
After several battles, these students were filled with dense killing intent which was tempered via countless life and death experiences.
In their current state, even if Su Hao didn't reveal their identity, these 12 students have the strength to challenge an ordinary early stage domain esper!
”There are too many beasts here!”
Another beast got itself killed. Lie Shou locked his brows slightly. They only traveled for a short distance but already met at least ten emperor beasts and that domain aura coming from the beasts is not something they could dismiss.
”Yeah, it feels like they're endless.” Another student cursed.
Their mission is to eliminate all the beasts. Thus, when they met a beast, they couldn't hide or run, but fight it head-on. It was just that...
This mountain range actually has this many beasts?
Is this some RPG game?
Farming experience?
Unlimited respawn?
”Don't be anxious. There shouldn't be a lot of them.” Su Hao maintained his composure.
From their view, they seemed to be moving forward, but the truth was they had been taking a detour over and over again on the same mountain. Right now, the effect of the color-changing grass gradually disappeared and everyone returned to their normal state. Most of those domain espers which were sent to support the students had already been eliminated.
Now, the real mission will truly begin!
Swish!
Su Hao closed his eyes to readjust his mind.
With energy fluctuation spreading to the surroundings, this time, he only aimed in one direction. There, within the depth of the mountain, a beast covered in flames had been roaring all day long.
King-level beast!
Su Hao's eyes lit up. The true target is finally here.
”Let's go!”
Su Hao gave his order, leading everyone into the mountain's depth.
...
Federation Strategy Department.
Many staff members were busy analyzing the aura transmitted from Gaoyuan City. However, when more news arrived especially several ones that carried significant weight, everyone's face turned a bit ugly.
A certain domain esper was dead.
A certain domain esper vanished.
...
One after another, the news carried the same tone!
Domain realm!
Each one of them, which one isn't strong?
But now?
Dead!
One death after another!
Their deaths made the ones hearing the news shiver. Since when has the Federation suffered such losses? When such news reached their ears, the higher-ups of the Federation were furious.
”Investigate!”
”I want a clear explanation of this!”
”I want to know what kind of beast actually dare to create havoc in the Federation's territory!”
For domain espers to die indicated their foe this time is at least an emperor beast! Even during the previous beast tide in Jianghe City, emperor beasts did not dare invade personally because they knew their strength would be greatly suppressed upon entering the human territory. However, what if the beast is a local?
This is the very purpose of the existence of a Federal Guardian!
Annihilate!
Kill any berserk beast that reaches the king-level realm!
Because the beasts that breakthrough within the human territory won't have its strength suppressed!
Once these beasts reach the emperor or even divine realm... for the human race, they are huge disasters. Thus any king-level beast would be killed before it manages to break through. The Federal Guardians have existed for many years, and there has never been a king-level beast that escaped!
But now...
Nearly a dozen of domain espers' death seemed to indicate something.
”What else have you discovered?”
”It is said that there are traces of corpse decomposing drug at the scene. Perhaps Piao Ling Organization is involved too.”
”Piao Ling Organization... Humph, such a small assassin organization, even if it is given more guts, would it dare try to flip the sky? I heard that the material of corpse decomposing drug comes from the bodily fluid of an engulfer beast. Could it be this time, an emperor realm engulfer beast has appeared? Investigate! I want a detailed investigation!”
”Yes, sir!”
The strategy department was in a total mess.
At this moment, someone finally realized that this mission, they seemed to have handed it over to Tian Long Court, and Tian Long Court decided to make this a trial mission for the students.
”Head, Tian Long Court...”
