Whoosh—!
As a sharp blade sliced across his neck, the monster's head rolled to the ground instantly.
Lu Yuan flicked the blood off his Thousand Pattern Blade, barely managing to steady himself, and stood there panting heavily.
Behind him.
Red Phosphorus quickly stepped forward and swallowed the monster whole. Then, it gently supported Lu Yuan's body with its tail while swallowing another monster that rushed up in one gulp.
Lu Yuan stared silently ahead.
His right hand, gripping the knife, was already trembling slightly, but the monsters seemed endless, surging towards the city wave after wave.
"How many are there in total? It's just a few forests, how could there be so many monsters?"
There's something fishy about this whole thing.
Not to mention that the Divine Martial Pavilion regularly sends people to explore the surrounding forests and hunt down high-level monsters.
Even with the resources and area of those few forests, it wouldn't be enough to support so many monsters!
Before Lu Yuan could think it over carefully, a new batch of monsters charged up again.
After he jumped to the top of the tall building and killed another monster that tried to rush into the residential building to feed, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a terrifying scene in the distance.
"Why are they moving towards Yandu?!"
The Scorching Sun Forest has completely lost its original vitality.
Whether it was mountains, trees, or rivers, everything rapidly declined in a short period of time.
But this terrifying anomaly did not stop there; in fact, it continued to spread toward Yandu.
Lu Yuan originally thought that all of this was due to the restlessness of the monster horde, but now it seems that it was not what he thought. There was something else that caused the changes in the Scorching Sun Forest!
And this!
It is very likely the source of the fear that terrifies all the monsters!
"Lu Yuan."
Just then, Mu Beiye's voice appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
It's different from before.
At this moment, Mu Beiye's voice sounded a little weak.
But Lu Yuan was so preoccupied with the strange phenomenon before him that he didn't notice it at all.
"Commander Mu, have you seen the strange changes happening in the Scorching Sun Forest?"
“I saw it.” Mu Beiye was silent for a moment. “Such a large-scale disaster, and the strength that terrifies so many demonic beasts, is something that even a Phantom God-level demonic beast probably couldn’t accomplish.”
"You mean..."
Lu Yuan paused slightly.
Above the Phantom God level, wouldn't that only leave Divine Beasts?!
Instead of giving a direct explanation, Mu Beiye slowly began to talk about other things.
"Lu Yuan, you are the heir of the Lu family in the capital, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Yuan had already guessed that Mu Beiye knew his identity, so he didn't hide it and directly nodded in acknowledgment.
Mu Beiye's next words caused his expression to change drastically!
"You're not from this world, are you?"
Although Maki Kitano asked a question, his tone was very certain, as if he had evidence to prove it.
Lu Yuan was about to refuse without thinking, but Mu Beiye spoke first.
"Lu Yuan, do you believe in God?"
"..."
Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What does Commander Mu mean by telling me all this?"
Mu Beiye did not answer Lu Yuan's question, but instead answered what he had just said.
"I believe in God."
"Oh... Commander Mu, you mean the existing divine beasts? I know the Divine Martial Pavilion has two!"
"No! It's a real divine beast."
After saying that.
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Mu Beiye continued, "Because I've seen it before."
"Have you ever seen a real mythical beast?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
He didn't understand what the real divine beast Mu Beiye was talking about was.
Doesn't this world contain eight divine beasts and their respective divine beast tamers?
What does Maki Kitano mean by saying these things now?
Could it be...?
"Commander Mu, the real divine beasts you're talking about aren't the ones from the legends recorded in ancient books, are they?" Lu Yuan asked tentatively.
Those legendary mythical beasts that have long since disappeared.
Since hearing the news, Lu Yuan has consulted countless ancient books and even asked many elderly people who might know the answer, but he has come up with nothing.
But Mu Beiye looks to be only in his thirties, how could he possibly know these things?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
I might be overthinking things.
But then I heard Mu Beiye's affirmative voice in my mind.
"Yes, those are the ones."
"What?!"
Lu Yuan immediately lost his composure.
Immediately afterwards.
Maki Kitano's voice came again.
Have you ever heard of... the mythical beast Bai Ze?
"Bai Ze..."
Lu Yuan murmured repeatedly.
He had certainly heard of the name Bai Ze!
Bai Ze is an auspicious beast in ancient mythology, capable of speech, understanding the feelings of all things, and knowing the affairs of ghosts and gods.
There are even rumors that...
Bai Ze can know the past and foresee the future.
But.
The mythical beasts in his memory don't exist in this world, do they?
How did Mu Beiye learn about the name Bai Ze?
As if sensing Lu Yuan's shock, Mu Beiye's voice came again.
"Bai Ze is my tamed beast."
? !
Hearing Mu Beiye's words, Lu Yuan was completely shocked.
Bai Ze is Mu Beiye's tamed beast?!
Maki Kitano's tamed beast is a Bai Ze?!
How is this possible?!
Before Lu Yuan could recover from his shock, Mu Beiye continued to say to himself, "Actually, my beast taming talent isn't SSS-level mastery, but rather SS-level resonance."
"resonance?"
Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
He had heard of this talent.
It is said that people with the talent of resonance can sense the five senses of a designated person and even converse with them freely.
To give an example.
It means that two different souls reside in the same body.
As for Mu Beiye, the outsider who entered the body through external force, as long as he has no intention of competing, he will not affect the original owner's actions.
Even if he didn't make any eye-catching moves, the original owner wouldn't have noticed that another person had crawled into his body.
If it's resonance, then Lu Yuan can understand why Mu Beiye knows his location and can directly communicate with his brain.
Because Mu Beiye is inside his body right now.
only……
"Commander Mu has told me so much, even these secrets. What is his purpose?"
