Chapter 184: The Beast Tide Arrives
Not long after, Wang Teng received good news from Natya.
That is, although the beast tide this time was quite large in scale, its attack target was very clear: only Spirit City.
Now, Wang Teng didn't have to worry about innocent people being affected.
Around Spirit Hall, no one dared to stay outside the city anymore; they either left far away or entered Spirit City.
However, this also led to Spirit City feeling a bit overcrowded.
After all, Spirit City was originally just the headquarters of a Spirit Master force, and its scale was still somewhat inferior to a national capital like Heaven Dou City.
Of course, this was not a big deal; after this beast tide crisis passed, those ordinary people would naturally leave.
After noon, the ten Titled Douluo from Sky City, as well as Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo and numerous Spirit Masters, were all distributed on the six city walls.
Due to limited space on the city walls, many Spirit Masters had no place to stand and could only wait as a reserve team behind the city walls.
Except for Gold Crocodile Douluo and Natya, these two Level 99 powerhouses, who were on the flank, facing the Star Dou Great Forest, all the Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall and Sky City were here.
After all, the pressure from the beast tide on the front city wall would definitely be the greatest.
At this time, the number of Titled Douluo level powerhouses in Spirit City was enormous.
Just from Sky City, there were ten Titled Douluo, the seven High Priests of the Hall of Worship, and Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, Wang Teng, and Qian Renxue—that's 26 Titled Douluo level powerhouses, plus other Spirit Hall Elders Wang Teng didn't know, bringing the total to over thirty.
If other forces on the continent knew that Spirit City had so many Titled Douluo level masters today, they would probably be scared stiff, right?
"Wang Teng, why does your Sky City have so many Titled Douluo?"
Qian Daoliu naturally also noticed that ten Titled Douluo had come from Sky City; he was a bit curious, as they were all unfamiliar faces, and their strength was very high.
"Hehe~"
Wang Teng smiled and didn't say much.
Seeing that Wang Teng was unwilling to say more, Qian Daoliu didn't continue to ask; after all, they weren't enemies.
In his opinion, his son was already dead, and from now on, Spirit Hall would belong to Qian Renxue.
And with Qian Renxue and Wang Teng together, Sky City could also be considered family; otherwise, if any force on the continent possessed so many powerhouses, Qian Daoliu would definitely eliminate them in the bud.
Of course, whether he could defeat them was another matter.
However, Bibi Dong, seeing so many powerful Titled Douluo from Sky City, felt a sense of crisis.
As Qian Renxue grew, the masters of the Elder Palace faction would eventually side with Qian Renxue, and with so many masters from Wang Teng's Sky City, it seemed her wish to destroy Spirit Hall would be difficult to achieve?
Suddenly, an idea popped into Bibi Dong's mind.
The Angel Family only had Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue; if Wang Teng's Sky City could annex Spirit Hall, then Spirit Hall would cease to exist in the future.
And Qian Daoliu, that old fellow, would sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue to become a god, wouldn't that mean the Angel Family would end there?
And her wish to destroy Spirit Hall and eliminate the Angel Family could be fulfilled?
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's gaze towards Wang Teng immediately became benevolent.
However, when she saw Wang Teng and Qian Renxue flirting, her face darkened again, recalling unpleasant memories.
Hu Liena, standing next to Bibi Dong, noticed her teacher's rapidly changing expression and was a bit curious.
'What exactly are these two's identities? It seems Teacher cares a lot, and their relationship with the High Priest looks very good.'
Hu Liena's curiosity began to grow.
"Teacher, who exactly are those two?"
Hu Liena quietly asked Bibi Dong.
"Nana, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Bibi Dong didn't give her disciple a good look this time and didn't want to say more.
Furthermore, at this moment, Bibi Dong also roughly guessed that the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect some years ago, which Spirit Hall didn't participate in, was probably done by her 'good son-in-law' Wang Teng.
Although she had been blamed for it at the time, Bibi Dong was a bit displeased, but she didn't say much; after all, Spirit Hall was not afraid of having too many debts.
Spirit Hall was so overbearing that it didn't matter if someone slandered it.
"Oh~"
Hu Liena felt a little wronged, but the more this happened, the more curious she became.
Hmm~, this was reaching adolescence, with a rebellious psychology; the more things Elders at home forbade, the more she wanted to do them.
Just then, from the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, an endless roar came, and the ground began to tremble; this was thousands of beasts stampeding, a mighty display of power.
The beast tide had begun.
Not long after, a long black line appeared on the distant horizon.
Soon, Wang Teng, standing on the city wall, saw the beast tide surging like a flood, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Although Wang Teng's strength was considerable, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a massive scene.
Before the beast tide approached the city wall, Lois was the first to act.
"Mechanical Domain."
"Fourth Soul Skill, Mechanical Improvement."
"Sixth Soul Skill, EX-S Viper Cannon."
Instantly, Lois deployed a dense array of Viper Cannons on the city wall.
Although Lois's Sixth Soul Skill was only a twenty-thousand-year Soul Skill, it also depended on who was using it.
Lois's spirit power level was as high as 95, coupled with his Spirit: Sky Assassin's divine quality, and the dual Soul Cores helping to purify spirit power, the power of the Viper Cannon, while not comparable to a Ten-thousand Year Soul Skill, would not be weak either.
Lois's Viper Cannons had an extremely long attack range, and the explosion radius and power of the shells were also very large, similar to the power of heavy howitzers on Earth.
Moreover, the spirit power consumption of the Viper Cannons was not high, making them very suitable for dealing with beast tides. Not to mention, Lois also carried many recovery potions, allowing him to keep the Viper Cannon array firing continuously.
Of course, this move was actually more suitable for fighting human legions, as under equal strength, Spirit Beasts' defensive capabilities were generally much stronger than humans'.
Moreover, Spirit Beasts were larger than humans, so under the same area, their numbers were not as great as human legion formations, and their enemy-killing efficiency would naturally be discounted.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom"
Countless Viper Cannon shells rained down from the sky, exploding among the beast tide, forming small, fiery red mushroom clouds.
Within the explosion range of the Viper Cannon shells, Spirit Beasts with cultivation years lower than ten thousand years were basically instantly killed. Even defensive Spirit Beasts could not escape the fate of being severely wounded and dying, falling to the ground.
Soon, these fallen Spirit Beasts immediately suffered severe trampling accidents.
Watching the earth-shattering scene from afar, the Spirit Hall Spirit Masters standing not far from Lois were all dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this Your Excellency to have such a trick, but upon seeing Lois's seven black and two red spirit ring configuration, they were relieved.
With such a powerful spirit ring configuration, wasn't it normal to do something a little unexpected?
Lois wasn't left alone; as the vanguard of the beast tide approached, many Spirit Hall Spirit Masters also began to unleash their Spirit Abilities on the beast tide.
In large-scale legion battles, food system, healing system, support system, long-range attack type, and large-area attack type Spirit Masters were the most sought after, followed by close-combat type Spirit Masters.
food system and healing system Spirit Masters, needless to say, were the guarantee for the legion to maintain continuous combat. support system Spirit Masters applied buffs, while long-range and large-area attack type Spirit Masters served as the main damage dealers in legion combat.
Of course, this excludes Titled Douluo, as any single move from a Titled Douluo could not be resisted by ordinary Spirit Masters, and they generally possessed large-area attack skills.
Countless Spirit Abilities fell into the beast tide approaching the city wall, and immediately, colorful spirit power erupted, blocking the beast tide's offensive.
Up until now, Wang Teng had not seen any Spirit Beasts over fifty thousand years old appear, let alone Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beasts or fierce beasts.
That's right, after all, Spirit Beasts over fifty thousand years old were considered high-level Spirit Beasts even in the Star Dou Great Forest. These vanguards of the beast tide were merely cannon fodder and wouldn't appear so quickly.
As for Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beasts, Wang Teng estimated that he might not even see their shadows today.
After all, Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beasts represented Ten-thousand Year spirit rings and Spirit Bones. Although in Spirit City, there might not be Level 90 quasi-Titled Douluo who could obtain a spirit ring even if they killed a Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beast, the precious Ten-thousand Year Soul Bone would still be obtained.
If any Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beasts dared to come today, they would definitely not escape the fate of becoming Spirit Bones.
However, fierce beasts were different; fierce beasts' strength was above that of human Super Douluo, and fierce beasts of this strength were not easy to hunt.
After all, Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo were not the same as Sky City's Titled Douluo.
Natya and her companions could challenge opponents beyond their level, while Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo, except for Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Gold Crocodile Douluo, did not have Ten-thousand Year spirit rings, and their combat power was only average, definitely unable to defeat fierce beasts of the same level.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Weapon Soul True Body."
"Eighth Soul Skill, Contract Summon: Louise."
"Ninth Soul Skill, Elf Summon: Icabella."
"Ninth Soul Skill, Summoned Beast Berserk."
In an instant, Smilla activated her Weapon Soul True Body and used three Ten-thousand Year Soul Skills.
Suddenly, the figures of Louise and Icabella appeared among the beast tide.
With Smilla's Ninth Soul Skill, Summoned Beast Berserk, Louise and Icabella's strength was much greater than ordinary Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beasts, and they immediately entered a peerless mowing mode among the beast tide.
The Spirit Masters nearby immediately turned their heads.
Louise waved her staff, and a Meteor Shower cleared a small area of Spirit Beasts.
Icabella clasped her hands, and a thick laser shot out, piercing all Spirit Beasts in its path. Another wave blade attack appeared, and as the wave blade flew out, all Spirit Beasts caught in its path were split in half.
Currently, among the beast tide vanguard, there wasn't even a single Spirit Beast over fifty thousand years old, so Louise and Icabella were truly unrivaled.
The Ten-thousand Year Spirit Beast aura they exuded directly intimidated the nearby low-level Spirit Beasts, making them unable to even think of resisting.
In the area near Louise and Icabella, some Spirit Beasts with a little intelligence had thoughts of escaping.
Unfortunately, the beast tide had already formed, leaving no way to retreat; they could only rush forward headlong.
Moreover, as Smilla's Summoned Beasts, both were Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old, and their defensive capabilities were incomparable to human Spirit Masters of the same level. Even if they were occasionally attacked by Spirit Beasts' Spirit Abilities, it was merely a tickle.
