It's almost like a desert beast.
Having been affected by war for centuries, they have long since mutated. Living among swamps all day long, they have managed to survive, but it is unknown what they eat.
But the ecosystem is definitely still there.
Such a massive beast tide is a rare sight, occurring only once every few years.
Qin Che teleported away in an instant, and Li Xin quickly transformed into particles and floated over at high speed, turning his head and saying, "Stone, you watch the house!"
"Okay!"
Little Stone saw a ferocious beast emerge from the swamp gas in the distance. After running for a short while, it flashed with golden light and collapsed to the ground.
It must have been Li Xin who made the move.
Little Stone stood in front of the tent, telling Hu Ting and the others not to move, and closed his eyes to sense the situation.
...
Qin Che teleported faster than Li Xin and arrived at the front in the first instant. Countless wild beasts rushed over from the high slope, kicking up clouds of dust. Whether it was due to the earthquake or some other reason, they ran frantically towards the swamp.
These beasts are courting death.
They trampled each other, killing many on the road and leaving behind a mess of corpses.
Regardless of size, all the animals were running in the same direction.
Li Xin arrived shortly afterward, materializing into his true form beside Qin Che and saying, "Can the two of us handle this?"
"It should be possible. I have a few pages of the Book of Extraordinary Things; I can use it to deal with the beast tide."
Qin Che can't just cut things up piece by piece; no matter how much Li Xin divides things, he can't cover such a vast area.
"A book of extraordinary abilities? These are pages?" Li Xin asked in surprise.
He understood the power of the Book of Extraordinary Things very well; it couldn't be torn off, and inside the book was a black box.
"When did the research institute become able to tear pages from the Book of Extraordinary Things?"
Qin Che said, "Stop arguing, you get two, I'll get two, let's get started."
The two nodded to each other, pinched the pages between their fingertips, and threw them out with a thud!
Bang! Bang!
Two loud bangs followed as the pages of the book exploded on the spot upon hitting the ground. A massive shockwave lifted the corpses of the mad beasts, turning them into flesh and blood in mid-air before they fell back to the ground.
The explosion was loud and widespread, and the dense horde of beasts was visibly wiped out.
An explosion was also occurring on Qin Che's side.
In the flash of white light, not even a raging beast could escape from the smoke and dust.
Three more flames faintly rose up as Qin Che charged into the horde of beasts.
Li Xin sighed. The two sheets of paper were quickly used up, and there weren't many left. After the huge explosion, the beast horde panicked and started running in different directions.
Li Xin transformed into countless particles, shooting towards the horde of beasts.
Like some kind of particle weapon, it even disintegrated the earth.
Two extraordinary beings wiped out the beast tide before it even reached the swamp.
Large numbers of carcasses of wild beasts piled up below the high slope, and some surviving small animals scattered and fled, but they were no longer a threat.
Those that are too large simply cannot be supported.
Qin Che and Li Xin reunited.
"How's it going on your end?" he asked.
"It's mostly been dealt with, and the impact is minimal, but there are still some issues."
"Let's not waste any more time on the rest. Let them run away. Their numbers are no longer a threat to us."
"Um."
The two turned and left.
Unbeknownst to them, some mountain dwellers on a cliff further up the slope had witnessed everything. They looked at each other calmly and then quietly left.
...
"Something just doesn't feel right."
Something's not right.
Li Xin said, "When we started, we didn't find any earthquakes."
"Could it be that the beast herd can organize a marathon on its own?" Qin Che teased.
Li Xin clicked his tongue, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "I'm serious, there was no earthquake."
Qin Che was taken aback and looked at the little stone.
Little Stone said, "I can't sense it either, but the beast tide is real."
Qin Che nodded: "Anyway, be careful. There are mountains ahead. We can only get back to the plains after we cross those mountains. The next stop is Tongtie Mountain. The hot spring company has a mine there."
Li Xin said, "I heard from people in Zeolite City that the army of the Hot Spring Society often clashes with the mountain people in the mining area."
"Why is that?" Qin Che asked in surprise.
“The mountain people believe that the mineral deposit is a treasure of the gods. The people from the hot spring village keep digging into it. They are thieves, so they keep harassing them.”
"The people of the hot spring resort are also having a headache. The mountain people are extremely powerful, but their technology is somewhat backward. Their mindless belief in gods is hindering their civilization's development. President Li Chong sent many people to negotiate, but to no avail. The envoys he sent were even killed."
"In short, their relationship is quite strained right now."
Li Xin concluded.
Qin Che nodded: "The mountain people worship many kinds of gods. The gods in the mining area are different from the wolf god and the forest god, and there is also the mountain god."
"It's quite troublesome," Li Xin said.
"Perhaps we'll encounter war again in the future," Little Stone muttered to himself.
"It's alright, let's go take a look first."
Qin Che had a premonition that someone was watching him.
But this premonition was weak, and after one flashback, it was gone.
Could this be related to the beast tide we just witnessed?
The three of them stopped sleeping and set off overnight, climbing the high slope before dawn.
When Hu Ting and the others saw the corpses scattered all over the ground, they realized that these were the beast horde members. They were all shocked and speechless.
Hu Ting is now slowly coming to her senses.
These three gentlemen are of high status and great strength; they are all extraordinary and saintly beings.
Along the way, I heard them talk about quite a few things.
The three gentlemen's destination was the icy plains of the far north, a very dangerous place.
