Chapter 231 Beast Tide Impact
While Shi Ruoan and the Gu Juzhang clan were busy preparing for their infiltration in the sea, Ling Chengen, Su Weihua, and Bai Qingyu were doing nothing on the shore.

Because Shi Ruo'an needs at least three days to execute the plan.

Therefore, Ling Chengen decided to take a stroll around the area for the next couple of days to see if there were any local specialties, and hopefully bring some back with him, so as not to return empty-handed.

Su Weihua followed Ling Chengen and wandered around the cave, not daring to go too far, mainly because she was afraid that Shi Ruoan might encounter an emergency and not be able to find anyone if she went ashore temporarily.

Bai Qingyu was faster, so she was responsible for scouting further out in the surrounding area.

The three had a clear division of labor, and none of them were idle.

Just as Ling Chengen was squatting on the shore, staring blankly at the dark green algae leaves rising and falling on the sea not far away, Su Weihua looked up at the place where the sky met the earth in the due north direction and narrowed her eyes slightly.

After observing that direction for a long time, his expression gradually became serious.

He reached out and patted Ling Chengen on the shoulder: "It seems there's something going on over there."

Ling Chengen looked in the direction he was pointing. It was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye what was happening so far away, but as she quickly spread her mental energy, she soon caught the anomaly in that direction.

She stood up instantly, her expression cold and stern, and said, "It's a tide of inferior beasts."

Moreover, they are many inferior beasts that can fly.

The scale of this first menstruation is similar to the neutral animal tide we encountered in Shilin before.

If this is the scale in the early stages, the Northern Wilderness will likely face a massive beast tide in the future.

"Go and inform Bai Qingyu to head south immediately and notify the main force that is still on its way."

Within minutes, Ling Chengen made a decision.

Su Weihua: "Are we going to stay here?"

"He'll be carrying the two of us, so he'll be moving slower."

"If we can catch up with them half a day earlier, our losses will be much smaller."

If the main force at the front receives a warning, they will definitely find suitable hiding places in advance and prepare to deal with the horde of inferior beasts behind them.

If no one notifies them, they will be caught off guard by the ferocious beasts.

The team led by Ling Xiao is currently carrying nearly 95% of the supplies for the autumn hunt.

Even with the help of Shumai, the damaged supplies will make this winter a difficult one for Shilin.

Moreover, the Stone Forest is no longer just a few thousand people as before; Yao Luo and the rat-like beastmen of the Mulan Plain now belong to the Stone Forest as well.

Therefore, to ensure that so many mouths can be fed, this batch of supplies must not be lost.

Su Weihua wanted to say something more, but Ling Chengen didn't give him a chance to speak: "Now, do it immediately."

Su Weihua could only turn around and look for Bai Qingyu, but said with some concern, "Don't wander around. I'll come back as soon as I've finished talking to Bai Qingyu."

"I know, go quickly."

After Su Weihua left, Ling Chengen began to use the map to check the surrounding terrain and find the most suitable place to hide.

Xiao Huangtong wasn't good at this, and Ling Chengen didn't expect it to actually provide an answer.

She found a sheltered spot, spread out the map, weighed down the four corners with stones, and began to examine it carefully.

A few minutes later, her fingertip landed on a corner of the enlarged map: "What's this place called?"

After stammering for a while, Xiao Huang finally gave a somewhat uncertain answer: "It should be called the Sea God Cave?"

Ling Chengen: "Why should it be?"

"Because this place is very hidden, you can't find it by flying over the Beast Plains."

"The Neptune Cave can only be accessed by diving from the sea; this cave is located inside the mountain."

"At the entrance to the Poseidon Cave, the sea level is only about half a meter below the top of the passage. During high tide, this passage will be completely submerged."

"But the cave is very spacious inside, and the tide will not flood it. In addition, there are small gaps between the rocks, so there will be no lack of oxygen inside. It is indeed a very suitable place to hide. The inferior beasts cannot find it at all."

"However, there are dangers in entering the Sea God's Cave."

"There are many sea beasts lurking in that area. Without the protection of the sea creatures, it's practically a matter of life and death."

Ling Chengen put the map away and said calmly, "How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Moreover, the arrival of the horde of inferior beasts affects more than just them.
The local orcs all have fixed shelters, but some orcs have come to participate in the sea market. If no other tribes are willing to provide shelter, they will probably band together to cope with this crisis.

All they need to do is find some partners.

The Sea Clan can basically be excluded, because what Shi Ruoan is about to do involves key figures of the Sea Clan.

Therefore, it is best for them not to establish relations with other sea creatures.

But aren't the Shan Na people also able to move around in the water?

Although Ling Chengen had interacted with many Shanna tribes in the past two weeks, the only tribe with whom he had the most pleasant cooperation and whose character was relatively good was the Boman tribe.

After identifying his partner, Ling Chengen did not hesitate at all. He jumped off the rock, leaped into the air and transformed into a giant tiger, heading towards the location where the Boman tribe was stationed.

After Su Weihua and Bai Qingyu finished their handover, Su Weihua was about to head back when she saw a somewhat familiar figure running across the open field at breakneck speed, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

He paused for a moment, then immediately chased after Ling Chengen in the direction he had left.

...When the tide of monstrous beasts arrived, those on the mirage were the first to notice.

Even from a great distance, they could see a dark, heavy cloud on the horizon sweeping toward their location at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the orcs, who were lying prone on the ground with very sensitive ears, also heard the rumbling vibrations.

Like the other orcs, Haman habitually lay prone on the ground, trying to use his hearing to determine the number of the beast horde. However, after hearing the sounds clearly, his face turned deathly pale.

Taf's towering figure stood beside him. Without any hesitation, he decisively instructed the tribesmen scattered around the stall to quickly gather up all the goods on the stall, as they needed to move as soon as possible.

As for the temporary base, we don't need to worry about it.

That was just a temporary cave. Because there were few people there during the day, they didn't store their supplies there, only some tools they used regularly, which they could easily lose.

"Haman, how is the situation?"

Harman got up from the ground, his lips trembling, and said, "At least a medium-sized horde of inferior beasts."

"This is only the first batch. The second wave of beast tides should not be far away. It may arrive half an hour after the first wave."

Taf's pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in shock, "So close?"

"This has never happened before."

Generally, beast tides arrive in batches.

At first, only low-level inferior beasts appeared, with a few mid-level inferior beasts occasionally appearing, and very few high-level inferior beasts.

According to their speculation, the beast tides of the previous days were basically cannon fodder sent to the front lines.

The real hard battle begins in the middle of the beast tide.

The early low-level beast tides are also different, because inferior beasts are also divided into different groups.

Among beasts of the same level, the weaker ones with greater combat power are often located further back.

Those who are weaker will be driven to the front to tread on minefields.

Hamman: "Chief, what do we do now?"

"What do you mean, what to do?" Taf glared at him, his face stern. "Do I need to tell you what to do at a time like this? Escaping is the priority. Hurry up and pack your things so we can get out of here as soon as possible."

As they were talking, many orcs in the market had already packed up their supplies and were heading south one after another.

Other tribes are negotiating with the natives of the far north, hoping to gain their protection and join them in resisting the current wave of monstrous beasts.

Most of the sea creatures leisurely packed up their stalls, watching the spectacle from afar with their arms crossed.

Even if they were willing to help, the orcs on land wouldn't accept their kindness.

Because nine out of ten orcs on land cannot swim.

Once they enter the water, although there might not be any inferior beasts chasing after them, the ferocious sea creatures are not to be trifled with. Moreover, they will be powerless to resist and will be at the mercy of the foreign races, slaughtering them at will.

The warriors of the Boman tribe were also very fast, and they left the city in the first half of the time.

They planned to return to their ancestral home as soon as possible.

The Boman territory is located at the border between the far north and the northern lands, about a day and a night's journey from the mirage.

However, the beast was faster than they had imagined, and it seemed to have no signs of fatigue.

Therefore, they cannot wait for the inferior beast to run out of energy and stop.

Ling Chengen ran halfway when he suddenly realized that there were hardly any people left in the area where the Boman tribe was stationed.

She quickly realized that Taf must have abandoned the camp and fled with the tribe's warriors.

However, she was not very clear about the exact route of the Boman tribe's complete retreat, and the Beast Plains were now filled with sand and dust, and people were everywhere, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Su Weihua caught up with Ling Chengen, reached out and put her arm around her shoulder, saying, "Get on my back. Who are you going to find?"

Ling Chengen: "People from the Boman tribe."

Su Weihua breathed a sigh of relief: "I just saw it, I know the direction they left in."

"Hurry up, it's too chaotic right now. If we get separated, it will be very difficult to reunite."

Ling Chengen jumped onto his broad back, grabbed the fluffy white fur on his back, lowered her body slightly, and sensed that someone had transformed into a beast and wanted to use her shoulders and back for leverage to jump directly in front of her.

Ling Chengen showed no mercy, turning sideways and delivering a backhand chop that sent his opponent crashing to the ground. He then turned and glared coldly at the orc who had rolled several times on the ground.

The orc cursed, but when he saw the bone blade in her hand, he lowered his voice, got up and continued on his way, but avoided Ling Chengen's position.

In life-or-death situations, human nature becomes too fragile, and even the bottom line will be repeatedly compromised.

Ling Chengen withdrew his gaze and whispered a few words in Su Weihua's ear.

Upon hearing that they were in a safe place, Su Weihua asked doubtfully, "Are you sure the people of the Boman tribe can deal with the sea monsters?"

"They make their living from the sea. Even if they usually avoid sea monsters, it doesn't mean they don't have ways to drive them away."

"Moreover, rather than racing against the beasts, finding a safe place to hide nearby is the most reasonable solution."

Su Weihua had no doubts about her judgment, only saying, "I saw them. We don't have much time. The beasts are chasing after us, so you should hurry up and persuade Taf to help."
