Chapter 586: Beast Horde (2/2)
”Should we ignore the call and try to sneak into the higher floors?”
Krune shook his head.
”Better than that, we should participate as well. However, we will return to the tower before everyone else. I reckon that after the beast horde is over, the elders will most likely stay out to help with the aftermath. That would be our best chance to go up without anyone noticing. If we go now, the elders will definitely see that we disappeared. Besides, considering our combat power, we should face no risks since the elders will definitely assign us based on our cultivation. We can even fight ordinary Semi-Divine Realm cultivators and demon beasts, so let alone beasts at our level of cultivation.”
Iem pondered a bit and admitted that Krune was right. If things go well, they might even return to their own 8th floor before the elders come back. Of course, if they find a way out there, they will leave straight away.
During the time Krune and Iem stayed in the tower, they advanced in cultivation again. Now, both of them are at the 2nd Stage of the Divine View Realm. The elders that recruited Krune and Iem during the last trial also noticed that. They all nodded at the two, satisfied. That's the type of talent they need to protect the city.
Seeing that everyone was already reunited, another elder that Krune and Iem didn't know then stepped forward.
”For those who don't know me, my name is Tiau Somali. I'm the elder responsible for most of the tower's affairs. Alright, time is of the essence. I will now assign each of you to your specific positions. You all have received the techniques and equipments of the tower, so your combat powers are definitely above average. Put that to good use, and don't let a single Demon Beast enter our city!”
”Yes!”
The elder began to share the positions. After so many years, the tower had hundreds of members. Still, the number had stayed like this for a very long time after that. After all, a few would die in every beast horse while others would run out of lifespan.
”Krune, Iem, Eata... you will guard the southeast. The one in command of your group is Elder Huan.”
Tiau continued to talk, and in just a few minutes, everyone had their own roles. Right after, they all departed to their own positions. Due to the size of the city and the lower cultivation of a few of their members, Krune's group took almost an hour to reach there.
They quickly leaped on the walls to look at the beast horde in the distance. They soon spotted countless Rarin Worms of various sizes with even a few different shaped ones. Still, the majority was the same type that Krune and Iem fought when they were outside the city. Other than that, some beasts looked like brown scorpions but had four pincers. Others were flying creatures like blood-red bats. There were quite a few differences in sizes between the beasts too. Obviously, that showed their difference in power.
Elder Huan then shouted.
”Listen up! Once the city's protection barrier disappears, the beasts will charge straight away. Pay attention to your own positions and the beasts sizes. Don't try to fight the ones beyond your ability. Now, assignments!”
”Ramon, Feiun, Suanko... Blood Bats of 12 to 15 meters in length.”
”Amata, Lakoei, Pansin... Four Pincers' Scorpions of 5 to 7 meters large.”
”Krune, Iem, Eata, Karel... Rarin Worms of 15 to 20 meters large.”
Elder Huan issued a string of commands, and everyone focused on their own targets. Sure enough, they used the size of the demon beasts to tell their strength. After all, it was not possible to feel the Demon Beasts' cultivation level.
Everyone's nerves were tense. However, because the city received a beast horde every few years, most were already seasoned warriors. The protection barrier of the city blinked now and then, showing that it was about to disappear. Finally, with one last big flash, it disappeared completely. Without wasting time, the beast horde advanced!
