Chapter 408 White Flag

“What exactly is that fella doing?” Li Xinfang furrowed his eyebrows and turned to ask Elder Universe.

Elder Universe stroked his beard as he was troubled too. He almost snapped a few strands as he used too much force, but he was not bothered at all. The elder sighed. “I can’t perceive it either. Ah, it seems like the spirit beast’s descent this time changed everything, and I’m at my wit’s end.”

Everyone else looked at each other as they strongly resonated with the elder.

The spirit beast was behaving strangely; it was simply unpredictable and puzzling.

Elder Universe felt silent for some time before he asked, “General Li, how about we invite Her Royal Highness here to take a look at the situation?”

Li Xinfan’s face changed, and he responded without any hesitation, “Senior, Her Royal Highness is incredibly precious. How can she come to the dangerous battlefield?”

“I wouldn’t have suggested this if the beast herd is attacking the city, but now…” Elder Universe shook his head, then he turned to asked, “May I ask if any of you feel like we’re in danger now?”

The other people were not blind. Although they could see the creature in the distance, they could also tell that the beast had no intention to approach the prefecture.

Moreover, nearly 100 Supreme Great Ancestors had previously forced the giant beast to flee.

Since they did it once, why could they not do it again? Li Xinfan pondered and questioned, “Senior, why would you like the princess to come?”

Elder Universe answered, “I’ve experienced the previous disaster as well, but it’s entirely different this time, so I can’t help much. On the other hand, perhaps Her Highness has read about such an event from the imperial family’s secret records.”

‘Sure enough, the older, the wiser.’ Li Xinfan and the others nodded.

Nonetheless, it was also because they were looking at the matter from different perspectives. It was evident that Li Xinfan and the others put the safety of the princess and Ou Yangming as their priority. To put it unpleasantly, Li Xinfan and the others would definitely choose to protect the two figures as compared to everyone else in the city. Wu Hanning did not hesitate at all after she received the news. She headed straight to the wall and brought Ou Yangming along.

Everyone else smiled faintly when Ou Yangming went up to the wall cheerfully and greeted them. They thought, ‘This fella just can’t stay away.’

Nevertheless, under everyone’s supervision, Ou Yangming could not get past them to find the spirit beast even if he had three heads and six arms.

Li Xinfan and the others welcomed them with respect and briefly told them about the situation.

In actuality, they did not need to give such a detailed explanation. After all, as long as one was not a fool, one could clearly see the humongous creature far away.

The ma.s.sive creature, which was almost as tall as the city walls, was pacing back and forth. Even so, the people were shocked because every step it took was soundless, and it did feel like the earth was quaking.

Judging from the beast’s build, every movement it made was probably equivalent to 5,000 kilograms of force. Even though the earth would not shatter, it would surely not be silent.

If the people had not witnessed how gigantic it was, they would think that a normal person was moving around instead.

Wu Hanning looked from the top of the wall for a long time before she stated, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know what it wants.”

Li Xinfan and the other powerhouses were slightly disappointed, but her answer was within their expectations. At the end of the day, one must be quite opinionated to claim that one could deduce a spirit beast’s thoughts.

Ou Yangming looked as well, but there was soon a strange look on his face. For some reason, he had a feeling that the huge creature seemed to be attracted to him. It could also be described as a friendly feeling, as though the fellow was his comrade in an entrenchment. Struck with a thought, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness was simulated, and it was drifting toward the giant beast’s direction.

At this point, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He could finally confirm that the mysterious senior, who had secretly helped him yesterday during his fight against the Sky-devouring Devil G.o.d’s follower, had something to do with the giant beast.

It was the spirit beast—the culprit behind the Humans’ disaster!

Countless people in the prefecture were eager to end the creature’s life to avenge the deaths of their fellows, who were killed by the ferocious beasts.

The enmity was irreconcilable, it could only be resolved by blood.

Despite that, the Military Fire gave Ou Yangming a completely different feeling. Something on the giant beast must be attracting him, and he was sure that it was not harmful.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and expressed after some thought, “Perhaps it’s trying to express good intentions.” “Good intentions?”

Everyone else widened their mouths. Whether it was Elder Universe or the ordinary guards, who were further away, they could not help but curse to themselves. ‘If a spirit beast knows how to express good intentions, pigs can fly!’ Needless to say, if someone else had said something like that instead, the people would have reprimanded him or her long ago, but the situation was different because it came from Ou Yangming. n.o.body believed him, but n.o.body dared to reproach him too.

“Master Ou, spirit beasts have been our enemies for generations, and we can’t coexist. It’s probably looking for an opportunity to fight…” Li Xinfan smiled bitterly. He did not finish his sentence because even he did not know how he could further justify himself.

For the time being, the three large holes on the walls had not been fully fixed. As such, the enormous creature did not exactly need an opportunity to fight if it wanted to; it could simply order the beast herd to charge into the city.

Who knew, the giant beast drove away the other ferocious beasts and exposed its whereabouts. On top of that, it openly lingered around for a long time…
