"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...Fang Han then used his divine sense to transmit a message to Tantai Qiuyue, informing her that a large number of demonic beasts were rushing towards them.
Tantai Qiuyue was shocked. She hadn't expected that giving her soldiers a proper burial would trigger an attack by the monsters.
When Fang Han told her about this last night, she was still skeptical.
Now, the way she looks at Fang Han is filled with even more reverence.
She felt that although Fang Han was a few years younger than her, he was a god-like figure, with infallible strategies.
With so many demonic beasts attacking, even if Fang Han were not there, she probably wouldn't be able to stop them, even if she gathered all the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division in Tianyi City.
Fang Han had just told her that there were as many as a thousand demonic beasts this time, and one of them was a beast king-level demonic beast with combat power equivalent to the peak of the Divine Sense Realm. In addition, there were three lord-level demonic beasts, which meant that their combat power was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm. On the Demon Suppression Division's side, she was the only one at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But now that Fang Han is here, she has nothing to worry about.
"Gentlemen, the demonic beasts are about to attack. Those without cultivation, or whose cultivation is below the Martial Master realm, should retreat to the top of North Mountain to take refuge, and be protected by the disciples of the powerful families in Tianyi City. The soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division will follow me to meet the enemy on the outer perimeter of North Mountain. This is the resting place of our fallen soldiers. We must not let the demonic beasts break in, and we will never let them harm the people."
Soon, Tantai Qiuyue spoke in a clear voice.
"A monster is attacking?" someone in the crowd shouted in terror, their voice filled with panic and unease.
"It's said that the Demon Suppression Division killed a Lord-level demon beast yesterday. Could these demon beasts be here for revenge?" another person guessed, his face full of worry.
"Going down the mountain now would likely mean a direct encounter with demonic beasts. Let's follow Commander Tantai's advice and head up to the summit to hide." The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, and most of the people of Tianyi City panicked. They knew they lacked cultivation or were of low strength, and even against the lowest-ranking beast soldiers, they would be utterly powerless, like lambs to the slaughter. Therefore, hiding became their only option.
"Fellow villagers, we scions of noble families are not to be trifled with!" At this moment, some of the most skilled members of the noble families in Tianyi City stepped forward. Inspired by Tantai Qiuyue's earlier words, their hearts were filled with fervor, and now they were burning with fighting spirit. They patted their chests and declared loudly, "Rest assured, today we will absolutely not let the demonic beasts break through our defenses, and we will protect you completely!" With that, they began to methodically escort the people of Tianyi City to the summit of North Mountain.
Meanwhile, the people from the Demon Suppression Division descended the mountain under the guidance of Tantai Qiuyue and Fang Han.
They were to ambush and kill the monster at the foot of the mountain.
Initially, some people were still skeptical about the monster attack and felt that the matter might not be true.
After all, the area they were in was quiet and peaceful, and they did not notice any unusual movements. Everything seemed so calm and peaceful, as if the so-called monster attack was nothing but nonsense.
However, this seemingly calm appearance did not last long.
Soon, the earth began to tremble violently without warning, the tremors sounding like roars from the depths of the earth, wave after wave.
Just then, at the foot of North Mountain, like dark clouds pressing down, a dark mass of demonic beasts suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The tremors were caused by the thousands of rapidly approaching demonic beasts.
The scene was like a nightmare, sending chills down one's spine.
These monsters come in various shapes and sizes, and there are many different kinds.
The tiger-faced leopard was agile and exuded a fierce aura. Its tiger head and leopard body made it seem like a terrifying combination of two ferocious beasts.
Flying bats, swarming in the air, their enormous wings blotting out the sun, emitting sharp, piercing cries that send chills down your spine.
The Thundercloud Leopard's fur crackles with eerie electricity, and every step it takes seems to carry the power of thunder, leaving scorched marks on the ground wherever it goes.
There are also armored water apes, which are huge, like small mountains, and covered with a layer of hard iron armor that gleams coldly in the sunlight. Every step they take makes a dull sound, as if the earth is beating a war drum.
Wherever these monsters went, it was a devastating disaster.
They trampled on the vegetation wantonly, mercilessly flattening the once lush greenery, leaving only a scene of devastation.
The once vibrant forests were instantly transformed into a scene of devastation, as if they had been ravaged by a merciless war.
Especially the leader was a Nine Nether Ice Lion, which was seven or eight meters long and three or four meters tall. Its roar shook the surrounding area.
Ordinary people have never seen such a terrifying scene.
Normally, they have only heard some legends about monsters and occasionally seen a few monsters.
But now, these legendary, terrifying creatures have appeared before them in droves.
They felt their legs go weak, as if all their strength had been drained away. They wanted to run away but couldn't even take a step. They could only stand there blankly, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
From the crowd, someone cried out in alarm, "How can there be so many demonic beasts? Can the Demon Suppression Division hold them off?"
The voice trembled with unease, as if it were voicing a final question to fate.
Another person said with deep regret, "If only we hadn't come to Beishan to watch the excitement today. We might have died here today..."
