After Si Er, Yu Beixuan, Si Xu, and Lu Taiping returned to the academy, they sensed that something was wrong.
The academy seemed rather deserted today. Usually, except for late at night, the academy is bustling with students and their spirit pets, and it has never been this quiet before.
The group hurriedly ran towards the offices of the five elders, only to find that Elder Xuanwu was sitting inside.
"Elder!"
Elder Xuanwu's eyes lit up when he saw the four of them: "Oh, the four of you actually came. You all look much more vigorous now. Not bad, not bad. You've gained four more combatants."
Si Xu asked, "Are we short of combat power right now? Have the border defenses outside the four major cities been breached?"
Elder Xuanwu sighed: "It hasn't been breached yet, but if this situation continues, it's only a matter of time before the border is breached."
Si Er asked in confusion, "How could this be? It's only been three years. When we left, everything here was fine."
Elder Xuanwu sighed, "A lot can change in three years. Not long after you left three years ago, the number of evil beasts outside the four border defense lines began to increase."
"Later, for some unknown reason, Mount Shashen suddenly erupted again, and the evil energy increased dozens of times more than before, causing many weak people to perish."
Si Er and the other three were all startled: "Is it that serious?"
Elder Xuanwu looked sorrowful: "Even if some people survive, they are now sickly."
"Although the people of the Beast Continent don't have much combat power to begin with, they usually rely on their soul pets to fight."
"But if the Soul Pet Master is really weak, it will also have a certain impact on the Soul Pet."
"Moreover, people dare not send soul pet masters who are too weak to the battlefield, for fear that they might die accidentally and also drag their soul pets down with them."
"After the outbreak of the evil energy, the number of evil beasts has been increasing exponentially every day, making it extremely difficult for everyone to deal with them."
"There is also a giant insect that can absorb evil energy to cultivate itself, and can also use evil energy to guide evil beasts to attack the city in an orderly manner, making those evil beasts even more difficult to deal with."
"Because there are all kinds of insects, they are temporarily referred to as the insect race."
Yu Beixuan glanced at Elder Xuanwu. He hadn't expected that even at such a crucial moment, they would still be so careful to hide the fact that he could hear Si Er's thoughts, thus justifying the origin of the term "Zerg".
Elder Xuanwu glanced at Yu Beixuan and continued, "You have been out of contact for three consecutive years, and there are all sorts of rumors circulating outside."
"Thanks to the propaganda of some people, the Lord of Si City is now childless, and the Lord of Yu City only has one daughter left."
Si Er, Si Xu, and Yu Beixuan: "..."
Elder Xuanwu: "By the way, the most explosive one is Si Ran from Qinglong Academy! It is said that he was originally assigned to the support team in Xifeng City, but somehow he switched places with someone and secretly infiltrated the team heading to Dongyao City."
"After going to Dongyao City, instead of fighting properly, he went to find Old Master Si for some unknown reason."
"However, Master Si had already gone mad, so it was no use for him to find Master Si. In the end, he was thrown to the battlefield by the elders of the Si family."
"Crazy?" Si Er and Si Xu were both stunned.
"Yes," Elder Xuanwu sighed. "I don't know who secretly planted fluffy grass in Master Si's courtyard. That fluffy grass grows exceptionally fast, and fluffy seeds fly out every day."
