Lu Yuan asked quite directly.
A steady stream of monsters is invading Yan City; wasting even a second could mean the loss of an innocent life.
Maki Kitano wasted no time.
Or rather...
He had already made his decision when he came to find Lu Yuan.
"The monster that caused the strange phenomenon in the Scorching Sun Forest is a descendant of the legendary ferocious beast Fei, and it is coming for me."
Mu Beiye's voice was calm, but Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Fei?
In his memory, Fei was a ferocious beast that existed in ancient mythology.
Legend has it that the Fei looks like an ox, has a snake's tail, and only one eye.
When a pheasant enters the water, the water source dries up immediately; when a pheasant enters the bushes, the vegetation withers and dies immediately.
all in all.
It is a ferocious beast that represents disaster, and is even hailed as the ancient god of disaster.
Why would such a powerful and ferocious beast, which only exists in legends, appear in Yandu? And why would it come looking for Mu Beiye?
Seeing Lu Yuan's puzzled expression, Mu Beiye hesitated for a moment before adding another sentence.
"Or rather... it wasn't coming for me, but for something I was protecting."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan tentatively guessed.
"Is it related to the reason you refused to leave the branch building?"
"That's right."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Yuan fell silent again.
Unexpectedly, the terrifying beast that caused the mutation of the Scorching Sun Forest was actually targeting Mu Beiye!
Even now, Mu Beiye still refuses to reveal the reason why he cannot leave the branch building.
What exactly is he protecting?
Lu Yuan really wanted to ask, but judging from Mu Beiye's words and tone, this guy definitely wouldn't tell him what all this was for. If he wanted to know, he would have to investigate it himself later.
"So?" Lu Yuan pressed.
"I need your help to stop that monster," Mu Beiye said.
"I?!"
Lu Yuan's eyes widened.
Are you kidding me?!
That's a high-level demonic beast that can infect and mutate the entire Scorching Sun Forest, and it's also a descendant of the God of Disaster, Fei. How could he possibly stop it on his own?
It would be more like they were going to their deaths!
At this moment, Mu Beiye suddenly uttered a sentence that seemed to have no beginning or end.
"Did you know that Bai Ze once made predictions about the future?"
"What?" Lu Yuan asked dismissively.
"It predicts that the world is about to be destroyed, and the sudden appearance of outsiders will be the turning point that changes everything."
"...You're not talking about me, are you?"
Lu Yuan pointed to himself, his face full of surprise.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mu Beiye's calm voice followed.
"Yes, it's you."
"ha?!"
Lu Yuan's eyes widened.
I never expected that I would have a role in this!
"Bai Ze is a legendary divine beast. Even it couldn't save us from a catastrophe. How could I possibly stop it? Commander Mu, you must be kidding me!"
Lu Yuan rejected Mu Beiye's suggestion without even thinking about it.
Are you kidding me?
He was just an ordinary person who accidentally traveled to this world, but suddenly he was told that he was destined to save the world.
This is indeed difficult for people to accept quickly.
But Mu Beiye's tone was very serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
"Bai Ze told me that they had tried to fight against it, but ultimately failed, so they could only leave and wait for new hope to come."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was shocked once again.
"fail?!"
Those legendary mythical beasts failed?!
What kind of disaster could cause all the mythical beasts to fail and be forced to go into hiding?
Mu Beiye's voice continued to echo in his mind.
"In order to preserve the seeds of hope, they did everything in their power to keep the Bai Ze, who could see the heavens and the earth, alive, and it has never appeared again since."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan gradually calmed down.
"Commander Mu, I think you may have the wrong person."
Lu Yuan lowered his head, his bangs covering his forehead, and most of his face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his expression.
"No!" Mu Beiye said firmly, "I did doubt your abilities before, but now I'm absolutely certain that the person who can change the future is you!"
Lu Yuan ignored him and said to himself, "Since Bai Ze can see through heaven and earth, he should also be able to figure out that I am just a fifth-level Earth Spirit Beast Tamer and can't be a savior at all."
Mu Beiye remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
“I learned some things about you through Bai Ze, but it was all just scratching the surface. Bai Ze said it couldn’t even calculate your destiny…”
Seeing that Lu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, Mu Beiye became a little anxious.
"Bai Ze's budget calculations have never been wrong! You are definitely the outsider who can change the future. Both this world and Yandu need you very much!"
Lu Yuan lowered his head, his lips pressed tightly together.
As he said before, he is just an ordinary person.
If it weren't for the sudden change that altered his life, he would probably still be in his dorm playing games with his silly roommates.
Why should we be spending our days scheming against those in power or facing hordes of monsters, worrying about whether we can survive?
The task of saving the world was too heavy, and life was too fragile. He was unsure if he could shoulder this responsibility.
Seeing Lu Yuan lower his head and remain silent, Mu Beiye's heart sank deeper and deeper.
Just then.
A member of the Shenwu Pavilion uniform ran frantically toward Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan, who hadn't moved at all, suddenly snapped out of his daze and reached out to grab him.
"What on earth is happening at the front line? Why are more and more monsters rushing into the city?!"
With blood and tears on their faces, the team member replied in a hoarse voice, "The entire armed squad has been wiped out, and the defense line has collapsed. We can't stop those monsters at all!"
Upon hearing this, a slight change appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
"What did you say? The entire armed squad was wiped out?!"
The team member nodded through tears, then opened his mouth to say something, but Lu Yuan could no longer hear it clearly.
More and louder roars came from behind, but all that echoed in Lu Yuan's ears was the phrase "The entire armed squad is wiped out."
Yang Lin, who always patted him on the shoulder and laughed; Du Pengyi, who was honest and quiet; and Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao, who were energetic and passionate.
Just a few hours ago they were laughing and chatting, dreaming about the future...
Upon hearing the devastating news, Mu Beiye, who was attached to Lu Yuan's body, also froze.
Although as members of the Divine Martial Pavilion's armed squad, they had long been mentally prepared to die at any time, they still couldn't help but feel a pang of pain when they heard the terrible news.
But as the commander-in-chief, Maki Kitano could not allow himself to wallow in grief.
The front lines have collapsed. He has wasted too much time on Lu Yuan and now he must go back and rethink how to salvage the situation.
Suddenly.
Lu Yuan's emotionless voice came through.
"Commander Mu, I'm not the outsider Bai Ze was talking about who can save the world, but as an ordinary human being, I want to live!"
Before Mu Beiye could react to the meaning behind those words, Lu Yuan spoke again.
"You organize the surviving team members to go back to the city and set up a defensive line. Leave these monsters in front to me!"
After saying that.
A strong golden light rose from beneath Lu Yuan's feet, enveloping an area within a radius of fifty meters.
"What are you going to do?!" Mu Beiye was startled and quickly advised, "You're in too much danger; you need someone else to help you!"
"unnecessary!"
Lu Yuan ignored Mu Beiye's words and stared straight at the horde of monsters charging towards him. Then, a Tang sword appeared in his hand.
Slowly closing his eyes, Lu Yuan carefully sensed the sword intent emanating from Su Ren.
at the same time.
As the horde of monsters drew closer, Mu Beiye's heart pounded with anxiety.
"Lu Yuan?!"
The nearest monster was about to swing its enormous hand and slam it down on Lu Yuan.
Just then.
Lu Yuan's eyes snapped open.
A sharp glint appeared!
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
