Section Eleven – Magic Beast Siege

Chapter One – Magic Beast Siege

There was a stretch of flat plains between the Forest of Neversetting Sun and the city. The flat plains in front of the city formed a natural battlefield. The faraway rumbling entered their ears. Dust rose in the forest, and even the ground under their feet trembled.

Aofeng suddenly felt the air tense. She took a deep breath and looked into the distance. There were countless black dots that were like an enormous wave among the endless forest between the gra.s.ses and the branches of the large trees. The wave headed towards them at an astounding speed! When they looked over, the black clouds obscured the sun in the sky. It appeared as though countless locusts had flown out of the fields. The magic beast tide at Qin City was nothing compared to this!

The first wave of magic beast was composed of the three-star Forest Poison Spiders, Six-star Forest Boars, five-star Flying Crows, seven-star Forest Wind Wolves and seven-star Forest Oxen which were common in the forest. The names of these magic beasts all came from the Great Forest of Neversetting Sun.

The dust rose, and the roars of high level magic beasts deep in the forest clearly entered everyone's ears.

These magic beast seemed to be receiving direction from somewhere. They formed into groups like troops to make up uniform magic beast armies. Just from the presence of the magic beasts, they could feel that the magic beast army had great power.

“Is there someone directing the magic beasts?” Seeing this, Aofeng thought and then asked mentally, “Liao Ya, were you the one that created the magic beast tide we encountered in Xiangnan Forest?”

“Master, while us sacred beasts can frighten away magic beast using the presence of a sacred beast, we cannot order magic beast. It's not him.” Ben Lei answered first. “Divine beasts can order ownerless magic beasts in a small range. Adult super-divine beasts can manifest in human form. The magic beast armies they lead are unstoppable. There definitely is an adult super-divine beast inside the Death Ridge of the Great Forest of Neversetting Sun. When I was living at Soul Breaking Cliff, I once felt that presence. He is definitely the one in charge of the magic beast siege but he is just not showing himself.”

Liao Ya nodded and continue, “Yes, Master. I was not the one that created the magic beast tide last time, it was Boss Chi. But he was wounded. He only wanted to create a magic beast tide for me to get you. He didn't divide up the magic beasts.”

Aofeng was surprised when she heard this. She felt another wave of puzzlement. “What kind of magic beast is Chi? So strong even in the infant stage, able to manifest in human shape. Looking at his present strength, wouldn't he be stronger than a super-divine beast when he grows up?”

“I'm not sure of the specifics but I guarantee that Boss Chi will only be stronger than that super-divine beast.” Ben Lei said confidently, “His presence is on a completely different level than the divine beasts in Death Ridge. That ball of fire that almost turned me into roasted panther is stronger than divine beasts. Infant-stage magus beasts should not have such strong offensive power, super-divine beasts are not exceptions. But Boss Chi completely breaks this rule.”

Aofeng nodded in understanding. She thought, no wonder Chi did not tell her his background. At that level, even celestial magisters would be very weak? There were super-divine beasts inside Death Ridge? After this siege ended, she would go take a look on her way to the empire!

The surrounding mercenaries had grave and nervous expressions. Blinding silver light formed an ocean. The first row of magisters summoned their magus beasts and spread outwards in a flanking formation. At the center of the formation, Rong Luo, Lu Feng, Qiu Ran, Aofeng and the others stood against the wind. Aofeng, and Rong Luo, the two spirit magisters, summoned their magus beasts in their true forms. The enormous and magnificent sacred beasts and spirit beast once again caused a wave of astounded sighs.

“Zhui Yun, do not be nervous, while the magic beast army is loud, they do not have the refined training and intelligence of humans. They only know to charge. If there are no problems, this wave of magic beasts will be eliminated in an hour.” Rong Luo drew the short sword from his waist and waved it lightly but he did not use magus beast armorization. He would not need to expend much energy to deal with these one-rank magus beasts.

This time, Crimson Forge had gathered many mercenaries. Rong Luo was confident.

Flying Aspara Mercenary Company's camp was also using a flanking formation to face the enemy. The wings were long and wide. The thickness of the human wall at the middle was relatively narrow so that it could the people their could fully exercise their power when they received the attacks of the magic beasts.

Ba Tuke and Li Qing were at an eye-catching position. When they saw Aofeng release her magus beasts, Li Qing immediately released his Saber-Toothed Tiger King. He stood on the back of the Saber-Toothed Tiger King, and flew into the sky.

“Ah! Saber-Toothed Tiger King. It is Li Qing Daren from Radiance Magus Church!”

“With Li Qing Daren‘s Saber-Toothed Tiger King present, the pressure on us is much lighter!”

Receiving the reverent gazes of the people below, Li Qing felt extremely smug. He threw a challenging look at Aofeng.

“Young Brother Zhui Yun, let's also go up on your sacred beast! I really dislike that Li Qing. What is he proud of? Does he think that he's the only one with a magnificent sacred beast?” Lu Feng snorted, displeased. He sneered at Li Qing's pride. “If a sword master is here, they can fly into the sky directly. I want to see how pleased he will be then?”

Fly into the sky?

Aofeng seemed to think of something. She smiled slightly and pointed at Ben Lei's enormous back. “Big Brother Rong, go up first, I will follow immediately after.”

Rong Luo had intended to fight together with Aofeng. Hearing her say this, he couldn't help but feel slight disappointment. He nodded, and got onto Ben Lei's back with Lu Feng and Qiu Ran. They rose into the sky.

After moving for a while up in the air, they heard an even greater wave of astounded gasps.
