Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 502 Each side's reinforcements

Cults are like that; if left unchecked, they will multiply wildly.

If you close your eyes and pretend you can't see it, one day a big news story will suddenly break out, and suddenly your house will be uninhabitable.

Although they may sound like some kind of dark, fast-moving stuff, cultists, especially the Beast Cult, are far more harmful than those things.
"Really, they've multiplied so much before we knew it. Is there any way to wipe them out?" Rean could tell that these were all new horned apprentices, probably born in the last two months.

This also means that at least hundreds of people died under mysterious circumstances.

"They're truly impossible to eradicate completely."

Rean shook his head subconsciously. Kill the Beast Order all by himself? He found it laughable.

At this point, the idea that enemies and allies share the same origin is no joke.

Beasts gave birth to herds, and herds evolved into beast-like humans. Whether it is evolution or degeneration, it inevitably touches on the origin of beasts. As long as the "truth" exists in the world, there will always be people who take this path in pursuit of power, wealth, and authority.

As long as one indulges, one can gain power that surpasses what professionals can achieve through cultivation. How many people could resist that?

The world is never fair; there will always be people who have nothing but are willing to risk everything to gain the power to change their fate.

Even knowing it was a poison pill, they would swallow it without hesitation.

Even if this information is completely blocked, the "memories in the bloodline" will awaken from time to time, and naturally a new Beast Order will be born.

The facts prove that they have always existed, and have become even more active with the rise of the elemental tides (the resurgence of the beasts).

"It's beyond saving."

Those fifty-odd cultists have completely transformed into horned beasts.

It's hard to say how much rationality these beasts, now transformed, still possess, but the cost of survival would be considerable. The drooling humanoid beasts were already drooling at the two sides in the battle.

Deer are not the harmless "herbivores" that most people imagine. They are not only carnivores but also extremely rare "cannibals" in nature.

"Ouch!"

The giant stag hummed softly, yet the atmosphere trembled continuously. Even though he was a familiar opponent, Rean still did not want to face him again.

"All horned hooves (cattle, horses, sheep, and deer) retreat. Do not approach that giant deer."

From the Purple Rose, Rean learned that the bloodline of beasts is not absolute.

"Close relatives" refers to a certain degree of mutual interference, which has already occurred in some cases among centaurs, resulting in mutations.

“Felipe?” Rean noticed that the monk beside him was trembling.

He stretched out his hands, looking at his trembling arms in disbelief.

It seems that something has been born inside me.

Sharp horns slowly grew from his forehead.

As a fellow group with strong vitality, he resonated with certain things.

However, the position and shape of that corner are exactly in front of the forehead.
"Middle-aged uncle unicorn uh uh uh."

The pure white horns on the heads of the horse tribe made it hard for Rean to look directly at them.

"I'm so hungry," Felipe said, his gaze fixed on the giant deer.

His originally smooth teeth now had serrations, and his hunting instincts were fully activated.

Unlike the other bewitched horned hooves, those unfortunate souls who were lured by the "source" into beast-like reversion not only suffered obvious physical mutations, but their eyes also turned completely blank.

At this moment, Felipe's eyes were filled only with greed and desire. The heartless centaur seemed to have found what he craved.

"It looks delicious."

The evolutionary factors were activated, and once something was started, it was impossible to stop.

He was trembling, as if he were about to rush out at any moment.

“Go ahead.” Rean naturally wouldn’t stop him.

"Don't die." Rean gave his final blessing to the shadow that vanished in an instant.

It would be such a shame if he died.

Rean didn't care too much. This was a battlefield for everyone, and no one could be sure they would survive until they left the battlefield. If you survived, it meant you could adapt to the battlefield and were entitled to more.

"It seems they want everyone present to die."

The chaotic battlefield has devolved into a free-for-all between at least four parties.

The most devastating losses, however, were suffered by the largest noble coalition.

The reason is simple: they were closer to the later "reinforcements," and the reinforcements on both sides obviously did not distinguish between friend and foe.

"Ah! Stop! Don't come any closer!"

A raging Tyrannosaurus Rex is not a baby that will obey commands.

Enraged by the guide, the massive Tyrannosaurus Rex began hunting on the spot. This ancient beast had long been proven to be impossible to tame.

In this world, there are also ancient dinosaurs similar to those in Rean's memories, but they are completely different species from true dragons, only having some distant blood ties. Rather than calling them dragons, it would be more accurate to call them beasts.

It is said that among the branches of "beasts" and "ancient beasts", there is one belonging to this branch.

In terms of blood ties, these enormous predators are closer to beasts and beastmen than to dragons. Of course, considering that the "ancient beasts" were all killed by modern "beasts," this kinship may not be friendly.

"Roar!"

Low intelligence is a standard characteristic of this powerful ancient beast. With its limited brain capacity, it has been driven mad by the quantity and smell of the "food".

"Ahhhh!"

The screaming noble mercenary was dragged up, and then the Tyrannosaurus Rex raised its mouth, and the iron pieces on the mercenary's body didn't even feel like they were getting stuck in its teeth.

"This is insane! How could they betray their own people!"

Also suffering were the unfortunate souls carried into the sky by the pterosaurs; a shepherd and a spellcaster were caught in the calamity, dragged up without any resistance.

Although dinosaurs are not very intelligent, they have their own unique food chain. When this feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex is hunting, the pterosaurs in the sky will also take the opportunity to hunt their own targets.

And those unlucky souls who got dragged into it weren't by chance.
"Uh, don't those noble faction spellcasters know that pterosaurs and other birds of prey are particularly fond of glowing things? Using staffs and glittering gems at a time like this..."

Chaos is spreading, with all sides getting involved, and the battlefield is in such a chaotic state that it's unbearable to watch.

At this point, everyone could see that the mastermind wanted everyone to die here. But to Rean's dismay, it seemed that everyone was most interested in his side.

"That's the master's enemy!"

"Rean Sudar."

It seems that those madmen of the Beast Order are no longer concerned with anything else and are determined to die on their side.

The giant deer moved slowly forward, the surrounding piles of rubble floating up on their own, the swamp blocking its path meaningless to it. The deer's favorite habitat is the swamp area, and the "beasts of heaven and water" refers to the deer that run across the swamp.

This is why some people mistakenly believed that it brought floods, hence the nickname "the beast of floods".

The pure white pupils gathered power from ancient times, and the mud and shallow waters of the entire swamp area began to boil, as if some invisible force was calling to them.

This, perhaps, is the true home ground of the Deer Prince.

The water in the swamp is gathering, and it seems to be creating a flood.

However, Rean had actually anticipated that they would come looking for trouble.

Even experts who were already prepared to deal with it.
"Ding ding ding, your little darling has suddenly appeared. Did you miss me?"

The illusory shadows transformed into a purple girl, and a cheerful magical girl suddenly jumped out.
