The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 133 Wind-type Inferior Beasts
Following Ling Chengen's instructions, Bai Qingyu and Su Weihua reassigned the warriors to different teams, quickly reintegrating them into the three lines of defense. They also set up a temporary treatment center in the rear, staffed by a tribal shaman, to minimize casualties.

The beast tides cannot be completely avoided, because each wave of the beast tide contains high-level inferior beasts. These inferior beasts possess supernatural abilities, so their perception abilities are almost equal to those of the beastmen who possess supernatural abilities.

If we're talking about low-level, inferior beasts, they are undead corpses that only know how to devour human flesh and blood.
Therefore, a high-level inferior beast with superpowers is equivalent to an inferior beast boss that has awakened a certain degree of self-awareness, possesses a more powerful body and detection ability, and is also empowered by superpowers.

After finishing setting up the defense line, Ling Chengen was finally able to take a breather.

She looked at Bai Qingyu leaning against the tree trunk, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead and neck, and said gently, "Aren't you going back to Hanshan to take a look? There must be a beast tide there too."

Bai Qingyu shook his head: "Compared to Hanshan, the Stone Forest is more dangerous."

The terrain of Hanshan tribe is high, and the groups of wild beasts mainly advance through the relatively flat areas. The northern part of Hanshan is steep and very difficult to climb, so the cliff of the northern peak is a natural defensive barrier. The remaining gaps can be guarded by people.

There are indeed flying beasts, but they are far fewer in number than the beasts that run on the ground.

In aerial combat, the giant cranes of Cold Mountain have an absolute advantage. Flying beasts, unless they are large enough, can hardly cause any damage to the crane orcs.

He grew up in Hanshan and was very familiar with the defense and combat arrangements there.

Compared to the other tribes in the surrounding area that suffered heavy losses every time they encountered a beast tide, the losses of Hanshan were negligible.

Moreover, Bai Xu and he went north together, so they should have already returned to Hanshan by now.

With early warnings, the possibility of something going wrong is very small.

On the other hand, Bai Qingyu was always restless in the Stone Forest. Even when he had time to rest, he couldn't completely calm the restlessness in his heart.

Ling Chengen reached out and grabbed his left fingertips, looking at the faint dark circles under his eyes and the undisguised fatigue on his face, and smiled at him: "Don't be so nervous. Shilin has been established on this land for more than ten years and has its own experience in dealing with beast tides."

Bai Qingyu turned his hand around and inserted his five fingers between hers, gripping her tightly for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry."

"Take a break now. You haven't had a rest since the day began, have you?"

Ling Chengen sat down next to him and let him lean on his shoulder to sleep for a while.

If she's not mistaken, it will be dawn in another hour.

An hour and a half has passed since the last wave of beasts, and the next wave will arrive soon.

So far, no orcs have died in the Stone Forest; there are only three seriously injured, one of whom is Chongzhen.

Bai Qingyu held her right hand, leaned on her shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes: "Wake me when the beast tide comes."

"Well, go to sleep."

Ling Chengen's voice was unusually gentle, and Bai Qingyu's mood gradually calmed down as she listened to it.

He thought it would be hard to fall asleep, but he actually fell into a deep sleep not long after closing his eyes.

Ling Chengen slowly withdrew his mental energy to soothe him, looked down at his left hand that he was unwilling to let go of even in his sleep, and sighed softly.

As dawn broke, Ling Chengen suddenly opened his eyes and sensed the tremors coming from the ground.

Even Bai Qingyu, who was fast asleep, opened her eyes.

As Ling Chengen expanded his mental energy, he sensed further afield. This beast tide... had a large number of inferior beasts, but not many high-level exotic beasts.

Ling Chengen immediately stood up and called out to Lei Sang in the tree: "Notify the soldiers to be on alert. The inferior beast horde is approaching. There is one tenth-tier elephant beast, two ninth-tier beasts, seven eighth-tier beasts, and the remaining inferior beasts number around 2,700."

Lei Sang immediately blew his metal whistle, and the quiet forest instantly became restless.

Five minutes later, a fierce battle broke out on the first line of defense. The roars of the elephant beasts were extremely powerful and resounded throughout the entire stone forest.

Ling Xiao was in charge of fighting the elephant beast, but Ling Chengen went to help immediately.

This tenth-tier elephant beast is enormous and also possesses fire-type abilities. Even Ling Xiao would find it very difficult to deal with.

Bai Qingyu transformed into a blue crane and brushed past Ling Chengen: "I'll take you there."

Ling Chengen lunged forward and jumped onto his back. He shifted his body slightly to the left, gripped the bone blade in his right hand, and cleaved the small black feathered beast that suddenly appeared. It was probably a mutated black-backed great bustard, and it was incredibly fast.

Bai Qingyu dodged the swarm of great bustards that resembled a bee colony in the low sky. With elegant and gorgeous wings spread, he calmly passed through the gaps in the great bustards. Wherever he passed, the great bustards exploded, bursting into clouds of blood mist.

Ling Chengen glanced back at the bobbin falling with a thud, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "You can control the blood within inferior beasts now?"

Bai Qingyu flew towards the first line of defense, saying reservedly, "Yes, I just learned it not long ago."

In fact, he had practiced for a long time. Manipulating the blood within the bodies of alien beasts was not easy, especially with large herds; achieving precise control was very difficult. If the precision of his ability was slightly weak, he would have to consume more of his ability to achieve a large-scale hunt.

The excessive consumption of superpowers will reduce the ability to sustain oneself in battle.

Therefore, he had hardly ever used this ability before he fully mastered the precise control of his superpower.

"arrive--"

Ling Chengen knelt on one knee on his back, looking towards the place where thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

Bai Qingyu didn't dare to rush over with her, because Ling Xiao was locked in a fierce battle with that tenth-tier elephant beast.

Looking down at the giant red mammoth, Ling Chengen exclaimed in shock, "What kind of elephant is that? How can it be so big?"

Bai Qingyu killed the strange beasts that tried to attack Ling Xiao's back, and did not forget to explain to her: "That is a Red Terror Ancient Giant Elephant. This kind of elephant beast has become extinct on the Beast Plain. This Red Terror Ancient Giant Elephant crawled out from the Lock Abyss. Only below the Lock Abyss can there be this kind of extinct ancient beast."

The Red Terror Giant Mammoth was ten meters tall and at least fifteen meters long. Its front shoulders were very high, and its dark red long hair, like fine seaweed, covered the back half of its body from its head.

Unlike later elephants, ivory grew on the lower jaw, curved downwards, and although it didn't look very long, its attack power was terrifying.

This is a truly enormous behemoth.

Ling Chengen felt troubled just looking at this red, terrifying giant elephant.

This elephant beast is a tenth-order fire-type creature, so it is not afraid of being burned by fire at all. Wherever it sets foot, the withered branches, fallen leaves and weeds on the ground will quickly catch fire, gradually forming a sea of ​​fire, and the fire is spreading rapidly.

"The east wind is blowing today, and the fire is spreading eastward. There is a forest of giant trees over there, and further away there are a lot of pine trees. Pine forests are rich in resin, so once they start burning, they are very difficult to extinguish and will become a wildfire. The smoke is also drifting eastward. If we let the fire spread, Hanshan will definitely be greatly affected."

Ling Chengen gently patted Bai Qingyu's back: "I will use my mental power to connect with your mental domain. Try to adapt. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I will disconnect."

Bai Qingyu glanced back at her and said, "Okay, be careful. I'll go put out the fire."

Ling Chengen connected to his mental domain and, after confirming that he didn't have a headache, jumped off his back. As soon as he landed, flames suddenly burst up from his feet, and fireballs that had collided in the distance scattered in all directions. Orcs who were too close to dodge were hit and injured by the fireballs.

Ling Chengen gripped the bone blade in his right hand, deflecting the oncoming fireball, and connected the lines of his spiritual energy to Su Weihua on the third line of defense.

Su Weihua is a level seven metal-type character. He can be left in the third line of defense to hold the line.

"How's the situation on your end? Have any high-level inferior beasts crossed the second line of defense?"

Su Weihua was somewhat surprised by the voice in her mind, but she immediately recognized it as Ling Chengen's ability and replied methodically, "Things are going smoothly here for now. No high-level inferior beasts have crossed the defense line, and the treatment area behind the defense line is also safe. Yu Shaochen is fine."

After receiving the reply, Ling Chengen began searching for traces of the ninth-tier inferior beast.

There were two ninth-tier inferior beasts. After the tenth-tier elephant beast started fighting Ling Xiao, one of the ninth-tier beasts disappeared, while the other ninth-tier beast was held back by several high-level warriors of the tribe and had not yet crossed the first line of defense.

We must find another ninth-tier inferior beast, otherwise allowing it to break into the rear defense line would be a disaster.

Ling Chengen anxiously expanded the range of his mental energy probe, then suddenly turned his head to look east, instantly transforming into beast form and quickly chasing after it in the east.

"Bai Qingyu, a ninth-tier inferior beast is chasing after you. Its ability is unknown, but it is good at hiding. Be careful. I'm coming right away."

Upon hearing Ling Chengen's voice, Bai Qingyu immediately swooped down from the forest and soared into the sky.

As he ascended, a dark figure suddenly leaped down from a branch of the giant tree and pounced on him.

The black beast hooked its right wing with one hand, and because it was in a straight-up position, the beast's body swung in mid-air.

Even so, Bai Qingyu led the inferior beast hundreds of meters into the air, but the beast still refused to let go, even trying to grab wildly with its left hand, looking for an opportunity to climb onto his back.

When Ling Chengen arrived, he found the situation to be somewhat tricky.

The creature eyeing Bai Qingyu was a giant ape with long, reddish-brown fur and enormous eyes. Unlike other inferior beasts whose eye sockets were clouded with a layer of gray, its eyes were black. Without that hazy glare, it seemed to possess the wisdom of a human.

Ling Chengen wasn't entirely sure, but it was clear that this ape-beast was far more intelligent than the other inferior beasts.

Even Ling Chengen was helpless in a battle hundreds of meters in the air.

She stood atop the treetop, releasing her mental energy to observe the giant ape, connecting with Bai Qingyu's mental domain: "Fly back."

"Remember not to fly level, fly sideways with your right wing pointing down."

"The ape-like beast is gripping your right wing with one hand; there's no other point of leverage."

But if given more time, this ape will surely be able to climb onto Bai Qingyu's back.

Bai Qingyu immediately changed direction. The ape beast had already grabbed his feathers, but as the direction suddenly changed, the feathers in its hand were also pulled off, and it was back to the situation of hanging in mid-air with one hand.

But the giant ape seized the opportunity, grabbing his right wing with both hands and trying to climb up by stepping on his feathers, opening its blood-stained mouth and biting at his right wing joint.

Bai Qingyu also sensed its intention, but there was no way to revert to human form at this time.

Even after transforming into a human, his right arm was still being held. The human form was more fragile and smaller than the beast form, and the ape-beast could tear off his right arm with its bare hands.

He didn't dare to gamble.

He immediately lowered his altitude, and the giant ape scraped past the treetops of countless giant trees, nearly being thrown off.

Ling Chengen suddenly appeared directly in front of him, holding a bone blade in his right hand. The moment Bai Qingyu brushed past her head, he grabbed the giant ape's tail with his left hand and stabbed it in the abdomen without hesitation.

She didn't let go either.

The giant ape's fur was very long and matted, making it easy to grab. Ling Chengen climbed onto its back by following its tail.

If it doesn't let go and continues to attack Bai Qingyu, it will die by her blade.

But if you let go... then it becomes two against one.

Ling Chengen raised his hand and slashed at the giant ape's neck. The giant ape turned its head and immediately released its left hand, letting go of its prey, and then fell downwards with Ling Chengen.

Bai Qingyu felt a lightness on her body and immediately turned to fly back, trying to grab Ling Chengen's body.

Although she managed to catch it, the situation wasn't good; the giant ape's tail was wrapped around her waist.

The giant ape, hanging upside down in mid-air, tries to turn around and tear apart the weak human whose tail is wrapped around it.

The moment Bai Qingyu grabbed Ling Chengen's left hand, his eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he swung his sword to sever the giant ape's tail.

The giant ape slammed headfirst into the ground, and the tail wrapped around her waist came loose and fell into the woods below.

Ling Chengen grasped Bai Qingyu's leg and breathed a sigh of relief: "Almost."

Bai Qingyu said with a smile, "I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my right wing."

Ling Chengen looked down and still had the mood to joke with him, "With me here, how could I let you become a one-armed crane? Without wings, how will you take me out to play in the future?"

Bai Qingyu laughed, but quickly fixed his gaze on a certain spot in the forest below: "That ape-like beast is most likely a wood-type..."

"Their ability to hide is too strong, especially in the woods."

Without Ling Chengen's reminder, he would have had almost no idea where the ape-beast was.

"It might not be a wood-type. If it were, it could have used its abilities to climb onto your back from the start."

Bai Qingyu asked, puzzled, "What exactly is that ability?"

Ling Chengen shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's never been used."

However, it could also be a new superpower.

For example, abilities like stealth and wind-based abilities are relatively rare in the post-apocalyptic world.

If that's the case, dealing with this ape-like beast might actually be quite tricky.

As Ling Chengen flipped over and jumped onto Bai Qingyu's back, an invisible wind blade suddenly grazed her cheek, leaving a wound.

Ling Chengen touched his left cheek with the back of his hand and pursed his lips, saying, "This is not good. This inferior beast may be wind-type."
