Chapter 367 - The City of Caves(Part-3) (1/2)

True-Spear twirled his spear as he slashed against another creature that tried to lunge at him, by then the sand had been dyed red from their blood, this time their instruction was simple find shelter and guard it for 300 days and they were already half way through it. According to the locals every 50 years interval a beast tide occurs for approximately 300 days.

The City of Thousand Sands and their Chieftain had been preparing for a long time and the arrival of the cultivators proved a boon to them, as they provided extra help to them, Dhaeq ahd already warned them the situation would be dire and Ryuu could understand why, after all sometimes a horde that was so big that even the horizon could not be seen would appear, the ravenous beast who cared for nothing but to rip apart and consume their prey and each horde were unique some were just simply beasts of immense strength but simply beasts at the end of the day where as others were more dangerous as they happened to be simply poisonous to spirit beasts of various kinds.

As he let out a huff as he turned to see Amnon who was nearby, Amnon had fought shoulder to shoulder with him as both of them had slain many of the beasts.

True-Spear grinned back at him as he spoke with a tired huff, ”This is getting tiring.”

Amnon nodded towards him as he spoke, ”So true, if that tragedy had not taken everything would have been so different.”

True-Spear sighed at that as he spoke, ”So true, and I am grateful that we stumbled upon this shelter, fighting waves and waves of so many enemies is no joke even if we had erected a shelter eventually we would have been overrun as no matter how strong we are we would been overcome by fatigue.”

Amnon nodded as he spoke, ”So true my entire body is screaming and protesting, how long has it been since the battle began.”

True-Spear looked to the sky as his eyes squinted before he let out a sigh, ”I think that the sky turned dark twice, so three days I guess?”

”It has been four days brother True-Spear, it has been four days since we began the battle.”, came a tired reply to his unsure one as True-Spear turned he was greeted with the sight of Amnon's wife Daniella who looked worse for wear and injured.

Seeing her Amnon was quickly by her side as he spoke with concerned smile on his face, ”Are you alright?”

Daniella gave him a weak chuckle, ”Have a taken a look in the mirror you do not look too well.”

True-Spear sighed as he looked at the corpses that had pilled around him as he spoke, ”So much death today I hope that some of our fellow brothers and sisters have not fallen today, so many enemies it seemed as if the entire desert has turned into a mass grave.”

Daniella bit her lips as she spoke, ”Brother sorry to disappoint you but today we lost a few.”, as she spoke she closed her eyes.

True-Spear gripped his spear hard enough to draw blood from his hand as he spoke, ”I regret coming here you know, so many dead needlessly our group is really unlucky we really are unlucky.”

Amnon then looked around as he spoke with a frown, ”Where are others?”

Daniella frowned towards him as she spoke, ”Su-Min is injured she will recover.”

Seeing her tensed Amnon groaned as he spoke, ”What did that idiot do now?”

Daniella sighed as she spoke, ”The left flank was falling and was on verge of being wiped out.”

At that both men was startled at that as did others as one of them spoke in a voice filled with dread in them, ”What do you mean what happened?”

Daniella sighed at that as she spoke, ”The leader of the horde charged at us and broke our line, we were at loss when Ryuu did sprinkled some kind of powder over himself that drew most of their attention towards him before he ran away from the battlefield with most including the leader hot in his heels.”

”I think he must have used something similar to 'Instigator of the Moon', it makes beast gather around a place completely enraged, mostly used when different types of animals are around making them fight each other”, a reply came from one of the many cultivators present.

Daniella frowned at that as she spoke, ”Well it certainly seemed as such it had been a few hours since then we have not heard or seen him. Frozen Ocean and Zywia had both gone after him, but as soon as they left a brilliant explosion was seen at the horizon. But I am grateful to him without his help we would have been fallen.”

Everyone frowned at that as True-Spear spoke, ”We will wait here for a couple of hours and kill any strays that are still breathing, while trying to recuperate a bit then we will send a group to find about their fate, I do not think most of us have enough energy to go after them at the moment.”
