Late at night.
Within the Martial Arts Association.
Chen Fan listened to the voice on the phone. After a moment, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "So you're saying that the Beast Tide attacking Anshan City the day after tomorrow won't include any underground Fierce Beasts, right?"
"Yes."
Meng Xue said, "Thanks to your actions over the past two days, the Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm and the Vajra Rat Swarm have been cleared out, significantly reducing casualties in the city."
"That's good."
Chen Fan smiled slightly.
In that case, only the Flaming Flame Eagles remain.
These flying Fierce Beasts are incredibly fast and, being high in the sky, very difficult to deal with.
However, the threat they pose to ordinary people is not as great as that of those coming from the underground.
After all, as long as ordinary people are hiding inside their houses, it's hard to attract the attention of those Flaming Flame Eagles.
If they take further precautions and hide in garages, tunnels, or other underground spaces, even the Flaming Flame Eagles won't be able to do much to them.
But the underground Fierce Beasts are different.
As long as you're not hidden in the sky and don't come down from there, they can attack you.
"At dawn tomorrow, I'll go to Flame Valley and clear out those Flaming Flame Eagles."
Hearing Chen Fan's confident words, Meng Xue furrowed her brows.
According to the original plan, that's how it should be.
As long as the flying Fierce Beasts are cleared out, the situation in Anshan City will be much safer. But…
After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and said,
"Chen Fan, maybe you should reconsider. Those Flaming Flame Eagles are very hard to deal with, and the Beast Tide has already burst out."
"It's already burst out?"
Chen Fan was stunned.
Then he understood and said in a low voice, "It burst out tonight?"
"Yes."
Meng Xue replied, "Just one or two hours ago. Taking advantage of the night, the Beast Tide surged from all directions. Now, many places are already occupied by Fierce Beasts, and at their current speed, they'll reach Anshan City by tomorrow morning."
"Flame Valley is just over a thousand kilometers from here. If you go tomorrow, once you encounter the Beast Tide, you'll have to deal with not only those Flaming Flame Eagles but also countless other Fierce Beasts. So, maybe you should reconsider.
Those flying Fierce Beasts are certainly dangerous, but without the cooperation of underground Fierce Beasts, their damage is limited. At that point, having people in the city hide underground should significantly reduce casualties."
"Let's give it a try."
Without hesitation, Chen Fan said, "If I can take out those Flaming Flame Eagles, that would be great. If not, even if I encounter the Beast Tide, I should be able to escape. Although the Beast Tide's burst is inevitable, if one less ordinary person dies, then one less will die."
"Alright."
Meng Xue sighed, knowing she couldn't persuade him.
Actually, she was more worried that even if Anshan City could survive the first wave, what about the second, and the third, and the fourth?
After all, the surrounding cities don't have someone as powerful as Chen Fan. The outbreak of the Beast Tide and their eventual downfall is almost certain.
By then, Anshan City would be like an isolated island in a vast sea.
"By the way, Chen Fan, there's one more thing."
"Go on."
"Do you remember the Wang Lingling I mentioned to you yesterday?"
"She's back?"
Chen Fan frowned.
He had warned her twice already, and the second time, he had given her a kindly reminder.
Now Meng Xue said she's back?
As the saying goes, three strikes and you're out, but he didn't intend to give her a third chance. If she still intends to conceal things this time, he would take action.
"Yes, she's back, but this time it's a bit different."
Meng Xue paused, "This time, she came specifically to warn you about the Beast Tide bursting out."
"To warn me about the Beast Tide."
Chen Fan's face showed a strange expression.
"Yes."
Meng Xue said, "However, she came a bit too late. By the time she arrived, you had already left Anshan City, and the people at the Awakened Association didn't give her a chance. She had no choice but to convey the message through word of mouth to get the news to you."
"I see."
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
That made sense. After all, he was the president of the Awakened Association. If anyone could see him freely, what would Hua Jun and the others be there for?
On another note, that woman did have a bit of conscience.
She actually tried to inform him of this news, though he didn't really need it…
"Then she left?"
Chen Fan asked.
"She wanted to leave, but unfortunately, she couldn't." Meng Xue's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
"Was it the Qin Family?"
"Yes,"
Meng Xue replied, "Just as she was about to leave, she found herself surrounded by the Qin Family, and a battle broke out. She was captured, her legs were broken, and she was taken away. Many members of the Anshan City Awakened Association also suffered heavy casualties."
"What?"
Chen Fan's eyes widened.
It made sense that Wang Lingling was apprehended for stealing from the Qin Family, but why were members of the Anshan City Awakened Association also heavily injured?
Additionally, his feelings were complicated.
After all, this woman was captured by the Qin Family because she came to Anshan City specifically to warn him about the Beast Tide.
"You don't need to feel guilty."
Meng Xue said, "In fact, whether she came to Anshan City or not, it was only a matter of time before the Qin Family caught her. This time, there was someone in the Qin Family who cultivated the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, and it was through this skill that they were able to find her."
