Chapter 556: Beast Tide Chaos
The “mysteries” in the fog are much more troublesome than those appearing within the Great Xia territory, and Lin Qiye realized this when he encountered [Bell Crand].
Not only are the mysteries in the forbidden ruins more powerful and bizarre than those within the territory, but these “mysteries” often possess high intelligence. The more powerful the “mystery,” the better it understands how to use its wits to survive in this fog.
Of course, [Bell Crand] has essentially focused all his skills on intelligence and mental manipulation, so his direct combat power is not very high. In fact, such peculiar beings are rare in the fog.
For mysteries of the same realm, those in the fog tend to develop their own powerful combat abilities. After all, there are no Night Watchers in the fog, and these “mysteries” do not need to hide and protect themselves; they only need to continuously grow stronger and seize more territory from their kind.
At the moment the roars echoed, the space around Lin Qiye and the others began to violently stir.
A massive beast claw suddenly reached out from the void, carrying a terrifying pressure, and heavily smashed down towards An Qingyu and the others in the center of the formation!
The first to react among the group was Jialan, who was at the back of the formation. She frowned, stepped forward, and thrust the golden spear in her hand towards the enormous beast claw.
Boom—!!
The golden beam of light collided with the beast claw, whipping up a fierce wind that sent her clothes fluttering.
The beast claw was pierced by [Tianque], creating a bloody hole, and an angry roar echoed from the void. Then, a gigantic snow-white bear appeared, flying backward!
An Qingyu’s eyes quickly scanned its form, analyzing the aura surrounding it.
This was a “mystery” of the “Klein” realm.
At the same time, Jialan was also knocked back by the powerful recoil of the claw, becoming disconnected from the formation and falling into the surging tide of “mysteries.”
Lin Qiye’s mental perception witnessed the entire process. He quickly turned around, using [Zhanbai] in his hand to slice through several “mysteries” near Jialan, then pressed his hand in the air, summoning a brilliant magic circle.
“Be careful, I’ll go rescue Jialan,” he instructed.
Although Jialan had [Immortal] protecting her and wouldn’t be injured, the previous forced application of [Immortal] against the power of the laws had already damaged her soul. If he carelessly left her in this raging tide of beasts, it could lead to disaster.
A massive Flame Vein Earth Dragon was summoned, its wings flapping as it carried Lin Qiye towards the beast tide.
The speed of [Jindouyun] was too fast; in an environment filled with enemies, it lost its maneuverability. Although Hongyan’s flying speed was slower, it was very agile, able to weave freely through the tide of beasts.
Carried by Hongyan, Lin Qiye passed through the encirclement of three “mysteries,” opening her mouth as a red glow gathered in front of her.
Boom—!
She unleashed a scorching breath of fire, piercing through the dense tide of beasts and melting a large number of weaker “mysteries,” clearing a narrow path in a short time.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the tide of beasts.
An Qingyu held [Elegy] and the MP3, his eyes, glowing with a gray light beneath the lenses, swiftly scanned every “mystery” that appeared before them, analyzing them on the spot.
“The red pangolin hidden in the beast tide at eleven o’clock is a ‘Wuliang’ realm ‘mystery,'” he suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping to the left front of the group.
Baili Pangpang’s pupils constricted sharply. Without thinking, he flicked his fingers, and a round shield floating behind him rapidly enlarged, a robust gray-blue light bursting forth, enveloping everyone in front of him.
Clang—!!
Almost simultaneously, a red lightning bolt struck the round shield, the terrifying recoil nearly sending Baili Pangpang flying, and the mighty gray-blue light was instantly dispersed by more than half.
Immediately after, a second impact followed!
Clang—!!!
Baili Pangpang let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale. The round shield in front of him was knocked away by the pangolin, its light dimming significantly.
The red pangolin paused for a moment before darting out again like a bolt of lightning!
An Qingyu frowned and quickly adjusted the direction of the MP3 in his hand, aiming at the pangolin. However, the opponent’s speed was simply too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had dashed out of the sound range of the vacuum horn, turning sharply in the air and charging towards the group from the right!
Madman Cao Yuan let out a low growl, brandishing his black blade of malevolent energy, and charged at the red pangolin!
“Don’t!” An Qingyu had just opened his mouth to warn when the two figures, one black and one red, collided violently.
A terrifying storm erupted from the point of impact, the red lightning figure hesitating for a moment before being sent flying backward, a deep knife mark already etched into its red scales.
Madman Cao Yuan was also knocked back, like a kite with a broken string, drifting away into the distance.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through An Qingyu’s mind. He immediately spoke to the others:
“Chase! Bring Cao Yuan back!”
Baili Pangpang, Shen Qingzhu, An Qingyu, and Jiang Er simultaneously changed direction, cutting a bloody path through the tide as they pursued the direction where Cao Yuan had flown.
In the entire team, apart from Lin Qiye, the one everyone trusted the most was An Qingyu.
He was the only one in the team who could outsmart Lin Qiye, and every command he issued was undoubtedly based on sound reasoning. Every choice he made was the optimal solution.
They believed in An Qingyu’s judgment.
When Lin Qiye was absent, he was undoubtedly the commander of this small team… even when Lin Qiye was present, he was still the commander.
In this situation, no matter what An Qingyu said, they would follow.
The reason An Qingyu made this choice was to prevent the group from scattering in the tide of beasts. Their average realm was at the “Sea” level; as long as they acted together, it would be fine. However, if someone fell behind, even if they weren’t targeted by higher realm “mysteries,” they would eventually exhaust their mental energy and die from fatigue.
The four figures weaved through the tide of beasts, with An Qingyu using [Elegy] and the MP3 to easily carve out a path.
At that moment, a snow-white bear paw reached out from the void again.
This was the same “Klein” realm white bear that had just knocked Jialan away.
As soon as the bear paw appeared, An Qingyu’s pupils constricted sharply. He quickly sidestepped half a step, but it was still a moment too late. The bear paw struck his hand, shattering his right palm along with the MP3!
The external sound of [Elegy] abruptly stopped!
His entire palm was crushed, and An Qingyu’s brow furrowed in pain, but he quickly stowed away the skull in his left hand, then froze the blood spraying from his right wrist with a touch of ice.
