Fran wanted to shrug her shoulders to show that she had no obligation to accept the other party's orders, but on the one hand, it was difficult for her to do so as a cat, and on the other hand, Jinmo's attention did not seem to be on her.
Looking at the beast tide approaching in the distance, everyone lost their previous brief amused mood and began to adjust their breathing, waiting for the next battle.
---
An extremely fierce air battle was taking place in the distant sky. Red to white fire rain fell from the sky, making Lin Qingliu, the unlucky guy who went out without an umbrella, run away in all directions.
At this time, he was still delaying time for Hope City. He knew that as long as the two fifth-level monsters had not arrived, Hope City could still resist with its current strength.
However, when the flames dissipated, Lin Qingliu saw through the heat waves in the air and found that one of the strange beasts that was biting him tightly behind him was gone.
He was so busy dealing with the rain of fire just now that he realized that the despicable goat-headed demon had disappeared behind him. Only the feathered serpent, which had set itself on fire like a fire dragon, was still stalling for time.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qingliu actually felt that he had been fooled.
The other party must have seen through his trick and was no longer controlled by his previous emotions. Instead, he took the initiative and left a strange beast behind to buy time.
As for the despicable sheep-headed man who was known for his physical strength, he had already gone to the front line of the battle. Lin Qingliu could even see the small black dot on the horizon.
Although Lin Qingliu was a little surprised that Mycelium had seen through the trick, he hoped that the city should be almost ready considering the time.
The foreplay to whet your appetite is over, and it's time to start the main course.
Lin Qingliu looked at the feathered serpent in the distance with a ferocious face and accumulating the next rain of fire. He made an international friendly gesture to the opponent for using his own means to fight back against him, and then turned into mist and dissipated on the spot.
Sure enough, the feathered serpent was stunned for only a moment, then looked at Lin Qingliu, who was hiding in the distance and moving at high speed, trying his best to catch up with the sheep-headed man.
When the strength of both sides is similar, all the fancy moves are not as effective as a direct punch.
And now, Quetzalcoatl obviously wanted to give Lin Qingliu a few more punches, and they should be the kind with flames attached.
In the previous fight, Lin Qingliu discovered that the goat-headed demon had an extremely outrageous physical strength. Coupled with its extremely powerful pair of wings and streamlined body, its flying speed was almost faster than his reaction.
And now, feeling the distance between the two sides slowly closing, Lin Qingliu had a more direct feeling of this pure power.
In just a breath of time, the positions of the two sides changed from one fleeing and the other chasing to a situation similar to that of an Oreo sandwich.
The man and two beasts began to rush towards the direction of Hope City.

Hope City, west side.
The fight against the beast tide has begun.
Although there were no strange beasts painted completely red as targets this time, there were so many strange beasts that it would not make any difference even if the gunner was replaced by a blind man.
For the gunners on duty today, this wave of beasts was a pure pleasure of mowing down enemies.
But none of them could laugh.
Soldiers who can operate heavy weapons personally have a long experience in city defense and have experienced at least twenty or thirty beast tides.
Even the oldest among them had never seen anything like today's situation. The fact that they could hit the monsters easily without aiming was enough to show the outrageous density of the monsters this time.
In the command room, a soldier in charge of wartime observation is reporting his observations.
Starting from the 52nd year of the new era, which was the beginning of this year, the second-level and first-level beasts in the beast tide mastered a new way of cooperation.
Those strange beasts that resembled deformed insects would pierce their sharp feet into the bodies of the first-level strange beasts, use their bodies as meat shields to get close to the city wall, and then begin to climb upwards to reach the city wall.
After more than half a year of beatings, the military in Hope City has basically learned how to deal with this tactic.
In addition to the universal solution of calling for super-powered reinforcements, the city defense forces have also learned to build facilities that are more beneficial to them at the front end of the city wall. At the same time, more new weapons are being tested and put into production.
But the soldier who was reporting in the room keenly noticed that something was wrong with the beast tide today -
Those insect-like beasts actually charged forward so carelessly, without any cunningness of hiding themselves and waiting for the opportunity.
What was even more strange was that the first-level alien beasts, which used to be regarded as the least valuable cannon fodder, were not at the front at this time. Instead, they were clearly following behind, as if the insects did not give them time.
The beast tide was getting closer and closer to the city wall. The soldiers no longer needed to report the rest of the content. All the staff and officers present who were participating in the discussion and command had already discovered this problem.
Although it was still unclear why such behavior occurred, this information was quickly reported to the soldiers on the front line so that they could be mentally prepared.
The first wave of beasts rushed to the bottom of the wall of Hope City.
Faced with a city wall that was tens of meters high, the insect-shaped beasts, which were once experts in climbing, did not make any movement, or simply made no climbing movements.
While the soldiers on the city wall were waiting for the beast tide to attack, these soldiers who were originally in the first echelon had no desire to climb at all, but just stuck their three pairs of strong and powerful feet into the ground.
These insect-like beasts are generally 70% similar to their distant relatives or ancestors. Some have distinct heads, thoraxes and abdomens, showing obvious thickness and width, while others look like a huge black pot turned upside down on the ground.
These insects seemed to be dead, allowing the other strange beasts behind them to step on them.
The insect-like beasts that followed closely behind did not continue climbing after climbing onto their companions' bodies. Instead, they also inserted their powerful feet under their bodies. However, the ground under their bodies was not the ground, but the same kind that had been charging ahead a few seconds ago.
Insect body fluids of grayish white, dark green, or other indescribable colors were splashing everywhere under the city wall.
Countless insect-like beasts died at the hands of their companions before they even started fighting.
Of course, as lives that have long been controlled by the will of mycelium, they have long lost their self.
This is nothing for the entire mycelium ecosystem.
Countless cameras responsible for observation near the city wall were rotating and focusing, and within a few seconds the actions of the strange beasts were captured by the command center.
The people who were usually responsible for the relevant tactics all showed looks of astonishment on their faces.
They knew very well what this meant. It meant that the intelligence of the alien beasts had evolved once again.
