Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 574 - 366: The Second Wave of Demon Beasts
Boom Boom Boom~~~
The weather here is really unusual; when it rains, it rains, when it thunders, it thunders.
Lin Chen looked toward the distant mountains and said, "For the time being, we will use this mountain as a base. If anyone gets separated, humans or Spirit Beasts, gather here, understood?"
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just as they were about to set off, Lin Chen suddenly spoke again, "I need to make something clear—what I just said is not empty talk. We are already at a disadvantage. If anyone among you harbors any illusions and doesn’t give their all, feel free to try."
"Once the Demon Extermination Array is activated, there will be no turning back."
"Of course, if I find out, I will be the first to kill them."
Lin Chen’s tone was extremely cold and serious, and surprisingly, Liu Zhou was the second to respond:
"I will kill too."
The atmosphere suddenly shifted.
At this moment, Lin Chen closed his eyes and asked Qin Shaoshao, "Senior, please tell me the recent location of the beast horde."
Qin Shaoshao looked at Xu Pingzhi and the others for hints, then relayed it to Lin Chen.
Soon after, Lin Chen and the group indeed found a pack of Demon Beasts.
The pack was not large, about forty in number, a medium to small-sized horde.
"This is simple, let the beasts come!"
Someone wanted to showcase his strength, summoned Spirit Beasts, and intended to kill them with area damage.
But Lin Chen stopped him.
"In this battle, we must rely on melee combat, analyze their data and weaknesses...."
"What’s the point, in the end, isn’t it just to kill them?" That person was dissatisfied.
But no one expected that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the murderous look in Lin Chen’s eyes.
Not just Lin Chen, but Liu Zhou and others as well.
The man swallowed hard, finally understanding....
They were like ants caught between the cracks; if they didn’t unite, death awaited them.
.....
Lin Chen was truly ready to act; he valued his life highly and would never be delayed by such foolish idiots.
However, Lin Chen felt fortunate.
Whether it was Xu Yi, Liu Zhou, or others, they exhibited clarity of mind.
This was crucial.
In fact, it made sense, those daring enough to enter the Bear King Competition were outstanding, regardless of youth.
Lin Chen summoned the Big White Bear to join the fight.
Lin Chen actually thought that in this battle, the strongest Spirit Beast was not Xiao Hei or Xiaobai, but Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan.
Xiao Hong’s area abilities were unparalleled, and Xiao Lan’s balanced space had reached level sixty, exponentially enhancing its capabilities.
At that time, their combination would be the strongest.
But, the precondition was finding the weaknesses of these Demon Beasts and how to bring them together.
The Big White Bear directly entered Eight Desolates Battle Bear Mode and charged in. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Everyone was at level sixty, and naturally, the Demon Beasts were no match for the Big White Bear. Though it couldn’t take one with each axe swing, it could definitely kill several with each effort.
Yet as it fought, the energy of the Big White Bear depleted swiftly.
"Almost there."
Lin Chen observed for a while; the Green Scythe Beast’s most powerful attack was its scythe-like claws.
Not only were they sharp, but they also seemed poisonous and impervious to pain.
This gave Lin Chen a headache....
They were like waves of Death Warriors.
"Withdraw."
Lin Chen gestured for everyone to retreat.
Someone then asked, "Shouldn’t we kill them first? Even reducing their number by a little helps."
"It’s pointless," Lin Chen hadn’t replied when Liu Zhou said, "This threshold won’t be just one or two waves... If it only takes so many to trigger the Demon Extermination Array, we might as well await our death."
"Our priority now is to find a way to bring them together."
.....
When Lin Chen returned to the mountain, it had already started to rain and thunder.
From the outside crystal ball, you could see a large number of Demon Beasts emerging from the ground, and this time much more than before.
Many who witnessed this had their hopes extinguished instantly.
Some relatives nearly fainted on the spot.
Given such numbers, even if they appeared in Thunder City, it would be an epic-level disaster.
Xu Pingzhi sighed upon seeing this scene.
It seemed that the outlook was grim.
However, at this juncture, a direct revelation could not be given to Lin Chen and the others.
After about six hours, the rain stopped, and the thunder ceased.
Xu Yi and others, guided by Xiaobai, returned.
"I observed some of the situation on the way; the second batch might be even larger than the first," Xu Yi said, looking extremely grim.
Lin Chen understood, but at the moment, discussing this was futile.
"Share your thoughts," Lin Chen sat down, holding a meeting.
About a thousand people had gathered at the mountain.
This news would spread quickly, with more people coming.
By daylight, the number of people might exceed five thousand.
Twenty thousand entered, excluding those eliminated at the start, there were at most fifteen thousand left.
Surely, some had died at the hands of Demon Beasts that day.
Thus, Lin Chen assessed the combat power to be about ten thousand.
"You go first," Xu Yi looked at Lin Chen, knowing he had an idea, so there was no need to waste time.
Many people’s opinions were essentially useless.
"There are many ways to attract beasts, such as natural enemies, food, or their guarded Beast King...."
"We haven’t seen the Beast King yet, and people outside are observing. If there were a Beast King, they’d tell me directly."
"So it seems, this can be ruled out."
Lin Chen said, and everyone nodded.
"Secondly, food!"
"I can almost certainly say they’re using the Thunder Blossom."
"I also observed this," Xu Yi remarked, "I didn’t expect Thunder Blossom to be the food of Demon Beasts..."
"So, this is our advantage. We should have a lot of Thunder Blossom in our possession, and with this, we can attract many Demon Beasts over," Lin Chen said, "This is one approach."
"But it’s not enough. How do we ensure that Thunder Blossom can attract all Demon Beasts?" someone questioned.
"It’s not enough."
Lin Chen said, "But right now, we have no choice but to proceed step by step."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Exactly.
They had no room for choice.
"Then let’s do it. Everyone, turn over all the Thunder Blossom, and place them in this gorge below..." Lin Chen said, "We can also use this to test the strength of our team."
Upon hearing this, many of the older generation outside had their eyes lit up.
Lin Chen’s approach was certainly methodical; each step seemed simple but was well considered.
Like how they had never faced the Demon Beast army directly; even if they came up with a countermeasure, if they couldn’t win when the time came, it would be a death ahead of time.
