After bidding farewell to the new Fire Phoenix Zhu Ling, Ye Buxiu set off alone for the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Since Xiao Huang'er was still playful, Ye Buxiu had no choice but to let Da Hei stay with her in the Fire Phoenix Clan.
The wrecked chariot roared through the air, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in Tong Kingdom.
However, the changes here are huge compared to when I came at noon.
By this time, the city walls were covered with giant brown spikes, making them look like a hedgehog in a new coat from a distance.
With his arrival, crowds gathered in Tongcheng, the capital of the kingdom.
They had long heard of a hero who had arrived in the sky riding a magical iron-shelled artifact, and they all came to see him and witness his great fame.
"Senior Ye, where have you been?" Huo Tong asked as soon as Ye Buxiu got out of the car, squeezing through the crowd.
"Um... I went out to take care of some things."
"His Majesty is currently seeking your advice on how to deal with the beast tide. Please go and take a look."
As Huo Tong spoke, she tentatively sized him up.
She had spoken with her father after Ye Buxiu left, and he told her many stories about Ye Buxiu, emphasizing the importance of treating elders with sincerity.
Because the senior has a strong ability to deduce, he can see into a person's thoughts even when he is not in front of them.
In short, he uttered some mysterious and absurd nonsense.
In Huo Tong's eyes, Ye Buxiu was merely a promising young hero.
She didn't believe her father's nonsense at all.
However, under pressure from her father, she still instructed the disciples from the sect who came to carry out the mission to keep their distance from Ye Buxiu.
Now, after carefully observing Ye Buxiu, she indeed couldn't see anything different.
What natural energy? What terrifying, ethereal aura? Is Father so busy with the sect division that he's lost his mind?
But just based on his young age and achievements, Ye Buxiu was enough for her to admire. So she didn't change the way she addressed him as "senior".
"Yes, let's go together," Ye Buxiu suggested.
The soldiers lined up in two rows to create a long passage for them.
"Is this the hero who instantly killed a hundred wolves?"
"Really? So young?"
"His Majesty personally received them, and the noble ministers all witnessed it with their own eyes. How could it be fake?"
Amidst the murmurs, Ye Buxiu entered the palace, walked through the corridors, and stepped into the main hall.
In the main hall, the king was already seated in the center.
"Your Majesty." The two bowed.
The old man nodded kindly.
"We've been waiting to report to the front lines. The beast tide is surging in this direction, and their army should arrive just as dusk falls."
"Ye Yingxiong, do you have any countermeasures?"
"Uh..." Ye Buxiu choked.
What are some countermeasures?
If I were to defend myself against the enemy outside the city by myself, wouldn't it be too pretentious for you guys to cheer me on from the city walls?
You probably wouldn't believe it even if you heard that.
Ye Buxiu inwardly complained, but aloud he made up a story with a straight face.
"I have a beast-repelling talisman. It can be opened by drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth. When it is opened, all wild beasts within a radius of ten thousand miles will be intimidated. You can then take the opportunity to cut off their heads."
A beast-repelling talisman? Can it really suppress wild beasts for thousands of miles? Does such a powerful talisman truly exist?
The young man spoke of things that the king would never have dared to even imagine before, in such a natural tone.
"May I ask if the hero would allow me to see your talisman?" he asked skeptically.
"Of course." Ye Buxiu was just trying to fool him casually; he could just take something out of his clothes and make do.
Ye Buxiu stretched out the small red and white ball.
"The power of the talisman is too strong, so it can only be sealed with this thing. It can only be taken out when it is needed."
The king looked at the small ball that was radiating powerful spiritual energy.
Although he was blind and didn't know what it was, he was also a cultivator and could recognize its extraordinary nature with just one glance!
As expected of a senior respected by the Fire Fortress Sect, he really knows his stuff!
The king prayed silently, for Tong Kingdom was finally saved.
As dusk fell, the occasional howls of wolves heightened the tension in the hearts of the people of Tongcheng.
The city gates of Tongcheng were tightly closed, but the city was brightly lit both inside and out.
Ye Buxiu stood alone outside the city gate, listening to the distant commotion, but his mind was elsewhere.
Um... what should I eat for dinner?
The system shattered his illusions.
[A large number of birds of prey or wild animals have been detected charging ahead.]
"Don't worry, System. Just watch me wipe them out in a second, and you can enjoy my heroic performance!"
[Question: How does the host plan to kill them instantly?]
"Haha, System, are you out of your mind? I have a unique skill that guarantees I can catch a blade barehanded and that combines the Burning Heart technique!"
[Friendly Reminder: The beast tide ahead numbers over 800,000; it's a gathering of ferocious beasts from the entire Wilderness Forest.]
[However, the distance at which a bare-handed sword can be caught is limited. To completely resist, the host must constantly swing the sword to ward off the beasts that have just entered the area.]
[Given the host's physical condition, the host may be in danger!]
"Damn it, you, you, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Ye Buxiu was dumbfounded. Was this system deliberately trying to mess with him? Why didn't it tell him about such a huge flaw sooner?
Okay, now that you've said what you wanted to say and acted all high and mighty, you're suddenly telling me you can't beat them!
"System, please send my regards to your family!"
[Received, family member Ye Buxiu, the host has asked me to convey your most exquisite greetings.]
......
The king on the city gate could already see the front of the beast tide, while Ye Buxiu below had not made a move yet.
