Chapter 469 - Plan To Evade The Saint Beast (1/2)

Alex got serious too when he heard that. ”What do you mean master?” Alex asked. As far as he remembered, Rubyroad city didn't look that different from Scarlet City, other than being maybe a step down in quality.

”The beast hoard,” Wen Cheng said. ”They can't handle the beast hoards that well, and Luo Keng would never keep his daughters around during something so dangerous.”

”So… you think he'll send them back to they have the safety of the sect behind them?” Alex asked.

”Yes. That only makes sense given how he is,” Wen Cheng said, reminiscing the past.

”Oh right, I heard that senior brother was at the backside of the sect too. What's up with that? Is that because of the beast hoards too?” Alex asked.

”Yes,” Wen Cheng said. ”Did you realize by now that they attack every month? It may be off by a day or two, but every attack has been with a month of interval.”

”So, since the last attack was 3 weeks earlier…”

”… They will be attacking in a week from now,” Alex finished the sentence and the dread he had in his heart for a while was brought forth.

He had been worrying about it in the back of his mind but had never consciously thought about it. Now that it was brought forth, he didn't know what to do.

”How do you know the beasts are attacking, Yu Ming?” Wen Cheng asked out of nowhere. He had been thinking about this for a while now. He remembered Alex saying something to that effect the first time, but the beasts had already attacked by then.

The second time around, they believed he was dead.

However, the third time, Alex accurately let them know that the beast hoard was coming and that was what saved a lot of people from unexpected death.

”I don't know, master,” Alex said. ”It's like a feeling I have. Every time they come for me, I have this feeling like something is calling me towards the south. That was how I was able to know they were coming for me.”

”Nothing more?” Wen Cheng asked.

”I do know that every time there is a beast hoard, a Saint beast comes after me,” Alex said.

Wen Cheng's face went pale. ”That's right. There was a Saint beast in the capital too,” he said.

”Yes, and there was one that followed me during the last beast hoard attack as well. I don't know why it stopped though,” Alex said. ”I did feel it come to search for me a little later, but by then the feeling was gone.”

Wen Cheng didn't know what to think. ”This… this is quite dangerous. What do we do when they come by again?” Wen Cheng thought.

”I don't know, master. But we will surely think of something. I have a fast boat that I can maybe run away in like I did last time,” Alex said.

”Alright, I guess that should work if it did last time,” Wen Cheng said.

”Is that why the security at the front is so bad? All of them are posted at the back?” Alex asked.
