Su Province, Dakun City.

In response to the rampant beast tide, the Great Qin Empire had no choice but to abandon most of its controlled territory and build high walls around the surviving cities in each province.

These high walls are all constructed from special reinforced concrete, strong enough to withstand attacks from first and second-tier fierce beasts. Even for third-tier fierce beasts, breaking through quickly is extremely difficult.

At this moment, a massive beast tide was continuously assaulting Dakun City.

In the sky above the city, gunfire roared, smoke filled the air, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily grim.

"Fellow citizens, we must not let these beasts enter!"

With a heart-wrenching roar, on the nine-zhang-high thick walls, from within the steel fortresses, arm-thick machine cannons suddenly unleashed endless fire, firing frantically, the sound shaking the heavens.

Like a rain of bullets pouring down, the target was the beast tide below, which resembled a torrent.

The shells plunged into the beast tide, exploding instantly, creating continuous booming sounds. Flames soared into the sky, and fierce beasts within a ten-meter radius were torn apart, blood and flesh flying, bodies shattered.

For a time, explosions of fire continuously lit up the black tide of the beast horde, clearing swathes of land.

However, the number of fierce beasts was simply too great. The next moment, those vacant areas were filled by fierce beasts surging from the back.

As time passed, the fierce beasts that avoided the shelling crowded and roared, charging towards the nine-zhang-high wall.

Amidst the bone-chilling beastly roars, the fierce beasts used their sharp claws, teeth, and Talent Abilities to relentlessly attack the wall.

Although these attacks did little damage to the sturdy walls, in the process, they stacked upon each other, climbing up and down. Within no time, they formed beast mounds writhing towards the top, attempting to breach the high walls.

At the critical moment, atop the high walls, rows of Extraordinaries appeared, Spiritual Light blossomed, and countless attacks descended towards the beasts below.

Rumble ~

Fireballs of flame, wind blade whirlwinds, ice spears and snow showers... Massive attacks collided with the advancing fierce beasts, and with a series of loud explosions, the frontline fierce beasts were either killed outright or swept away by powerful blasts, falling downwards.

Meanwhile, above in the sky, a moving black cloud formed by a large number of flying fierce beasts flew menacingly towards the high walls.

Keening ~

Sharp screeches echoed above the high walls, with waves of fierce aura rolling in from all sides.

The next moment, a barrage of fire shot up into the sky.

A dense, half-wall-long array of anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire instantly, forming a tight fire net above, interwoven, rushing towards the moving black cloud.

Instantly, bright blood blossoms burst on the surface of the black cloud, and the flying fierce beasts, like falling rain, constantly plummeted down.

With chaotic cries of agony, the formerly aggressive beast tide cloud dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The attempt by the fierce beasts to break through the human defenses from above ended in failure.

Amidst the fierce battle between humans and beasts, atop the nine-zhang-high wall, two figures stood side by side, silently observing the situation below.

"Commander Lin, this beast tide has been ongoing for half an hour, yet that third-tier fierce beast has not appeared. These beasts are truly cautious!"

Li Runcheng, president of the Dakun City Extraordinary Guild, frowned as he looked at Lin Liming beside him.

In recent times, the Great Qin Empire has been plagued by beast tides. The most troublesome aspects of these tides are, first, their sheer number, seemingly endless, making them impossible to completely kill. If not contained, they will ravage the cities.

The second is the masterminds behind the tides, those third-tier fierce beasts lurking in the shadows, which are extremely troublesome.

The Great Qin Empire's method for dealing with the endless fierce beasts of the tide was to leverage the advantage of firearms, forcibly suppressing and clearing them over time.

But when facing powerful third-tier fierce beasts, besides using Forbidden Weapons, it is very difficult to kill them quickly. So the only way was to continually deplete them with missiles, artillery, and other heavy firearms,

Now, with the third-tier fierce beast not emerging, their plan for Dakun City to deplete the opponent's Spiritual Power was clearly not going to work.

"Indeed difficult, these beasts are extremely smart. It's likely they aim to exhaust our living forces with the beast tide and then appear at the last moment for a decisive blow."

Lin Liming said coldly with a grim face.

As the commander of the Dakun military district, he bore the responsibility of defending Dakun City. Facing the siege from the beast tide, he was under immense pressure.

After a moment of silence, Lin Liming looked up, gazing at the endless beast tide below, and said slowly, "Let's wait another ten minutes. If that beast still doesn't show, we'll request reinforcement from above!"

Li Runcheng nodded, saying no more, and then turned to help the nearby Extraordinaries suppress the fierce beasts that were about to breach the wall.

Several miles away from the fierce battle between humans and beasts, a tall figure stood within the dense beast tide.

Above its head were giant crows circling, covering the sky, and beside it were several fierce-looking, ferocious-faced Red Giant Apes.

These Red Giant Apes seemed like giant guards standing by, protecting the central king—a four-zhang-tall, sharp-eyed Vajra Giant Ape. Its entire body was muscular and chiseled, resembling a massive stone sculpture.

The giant crow group above stirred a gale, blowing its palm-length golden hairs, which floated slightly like golden needles in the wind.

The Vajra Giant Ape's pale golden eyes stared at the distant high wall, its gaze shining with intelligence, mixed with disdain and contempt.

"Cornered resistance is nothing but seeking death."

A cold snort echoed within its heart as it shifted its gaze away from the high walls at the horizon.

To it now, a mere human high wall was nothing at all.

Originally just an evolved ordinary Vajra Giant Ape, it had fortuitously entered a secret realm and obtained an Ancient Demon Ape's inheritance, awakening its intelligence.

Upon learning of Thunder Tiger's various feats from captured humans, it was naturally envious. If a mere Thunder Tiger could gain such renown, it couldn't believe it wouldn't succeed.

What nonsense Thunder Tiger King, daring to aid humans against the fierce beast clan, utterly despicable!

Today, it intended to capture the human city to prove who the true king among fierce beasts was.

The reason the Vajra Giant Ape looked down on Thunder Tiger and was supremely confident in itself was not without cause.

The inheritance it received contained records of the Ancient Demon Ape, a famous existence even in Ancient Times.

Should it fully realize this inheritance in the future, it could also achieve the power of an Ancient Demon Ape. Therefore, it naturally looked down on a mere Thunder Tiger.

"Thunder Tiger, nothing but a paper tiger!!"

Recollecting the humans' praise for Thunder Tiger's strength, the Vajra Giant Ape's eyes were indifferent, speaking with disdain.

From now on, it aimed to replace Thunder Tiger at the top of the Fierce Beast List.
