Si Shuo stood up, her hair almost standing on end. "So you're saying, once the Beast Tide happens, its scale will be even larger than the one we encountered in Puchang City?"
Ji Liang nodded. "How big was that forest outside Puchang City, really? The Southwest Forest is endless. It's vast and sparsely populated, with not many Beastman Tribes in that area.
