The Exotic Beast tide is indeed terrifying, but most can't withstand hot weapons, unless they are particularly strong. Otherwise, with so many beast attacks happening across the country, the Awakened at Zhen Dan Academy alone simply can't resolve them.
More importantly, several vice presidents of Chang'an Academy are coming...
So now.
All they need to do is buy time.
Once the troops arrive, the pressure will lessen, along with the support from behind.
This beast tide will surely be contained.
Thud, thud, thud!
Thud, thud, thud!
However, just when they were excited.
The ground beneath Qingyang City suddenly vibrated with a series of rumbling noises, like muffled thunder.
And from the forest in the east, a peculiar aura gradually emerged.
The Exotic Beast tide...is coming!
"Let's go, follow me to meet the enemy!"
At this moment.
Zhao Wuji spoke.
He gave the order and then took the lead, jumping directly off the rooftop, heading outside the eastern city.
Because there are many civilians in the city who haven't been evacuated, casualties must be minimized while buying time.
Ordinary people have no resistance against Exotic Beasts.
Only the Awakened have the strength to fight.
Even though they now number less than twenty.
At this moment, they still set out, following Zhao Wuji to the eastern outskirts, standing in place, waiting.
At the same time, everyone drew their weapons and unleashed their abilities.
Someone's body grew scale armor.
Someone else's eyes emitted an enchanting glow.
Another person's body expanded, reaching several meters in height.
Once everything was ready.
They quietly fixed their eyes on the forest in the distance.
Even though they had made up their minds.
Except for the few teachers present, all the students were nervous, with sweaty palms.
In the distance, in the dense forest to the east of Qingyang City.
The heavy footsteps came from afar, with an extremely terrifying momentum, raising giant clouds of dust in the air, indicating there were many Exotic Beasts, at least over a hundred.
Thud, thud, thud!
Getting closer!
Everyone was fully alert.
In the far distance, indistinct shadows.
One after another, creatures appeared, accompanied by terrifying roars, running forward at great speed.
And Zhu Qingyu and others finally saw the appearance of those Exotic Beasts clearly.
Monkeys covered in golden fur, wild boars the size of armored vehicles, pythons as thick as barrels, birds with wingspans of dozens of meters, all exuded a dangerous aura, bloodthirsty. Though varied in type, they shared a single goal, numbering in the hundreds to thousands.
Most were Exotic Beasts, walking the path of evolution, not easy to deal with.
The only fortunate thing is.
These Exotic Beasts were not particularly strong, mostly around the Initial Realm's first to second stages.
Some hadn't even embarked on the path of evolution, just stronger than ordinary wild animals.
After all.
The area outside Qingyang City wasn't any famous mountain or great river.
Even if there were Exotic Beasts, they weren't formidable.
If it were the Qinling Mountains or Taihang Mountain, it would almost be a death sentence.
However, the sheer number of them was indeed excessive.
Ten times their own.
Is it about to start?
Everyone swallowed nervously, bodies slightly hunched, ready for battle.
But very soon.
Those Exotic Beasts stopped about a thousand meters away from Qingyang City, standing still, not advancing further.
"Mr. Zhao, what's going on?" Qin Lan asked, eyes filled with confusion.
"Don't speak,"
Zhao Wuji intently focused on the front.
The next moment, everyone saw, in the forest, giant trees collapsed, breaking apart.
Meanwhile, a blue Single-Horned Giant Wolf emerged, its body reaching thirty meters high, eyes the size of basins, emitting a dazzling blue light, coldly watching everyone.
Upon its appearance, all the Exotic Beasts voluntarily made way.
Giant Wolf King!
The Beast King of that forest.
Also the initiator of this beast tide.
"Roar!"
The Giant Wolf King looked at Zhao Wuji and others, letting out a deafening roar.
Below, a thousand Exotic Beasts bared their fangs one by one.
Eyes filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
As if at a single command, they'd immediately charge forward, tearing everyone apart.
"Esteemed Giant Wolf King, may I have a word?"
At this time.
Zhao Wuji stepped forward, speaking loudly.
Even though he knew, this battle might be unavoidable, he still wanted to try.
If he could persuade the beast tide to retreat temporarily, that would be the best outcome.
Even if it didn't work.
He could at least delay some time.
And a being like the Giant Wolf King would surely understand human intentions.
"Roar~"
However, the other party seemed unwilling to waste words.
Instead, it roared forcefully, issuing an attack command!
Roar, roar, roar~
In the next instant.
Hundreds of Exotic Beasts, with almost no hesitation, charged directly towards Qingyang City.
"No choice, kill!" Zhao Wuji immediately reacted.
Gripping his spear tightly with both hands, a powerful aura erupted from his body in an instant.
He leapt high into the air, appearing dozens of meters high, and then, with the force of splitting a mountain, slammed his spear into the ground!
Boom!
The earth shook, creating cracks.
Under the immense force, dozens of surrounding Exotic Beasts instantly had their insides shattered.
Zhao Wuji, inheritor of the Huaxia Ancient Spear Technique, his strength at the Initial Realm's seventh stage, and bearer of his ancestor's bloodline.
With this strike, no Exotic Beast below the sixth stage could withstand it.
And his spear.
Specifically crafted to withstand immense power.
Behind, other Zhen Dan Academy teachers also charged out. Although not as strong as Zhao Wuji, they were around the fifth or sixth stages, charging into the Exotic Beast group, felling several beasts with each strike.
