Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 133 Joining Forces to Fight the Beast

Lin Manman continued to have Ah Dai keep the vision sharing function enabled, keeping an eye on the movements of the beast tide, while Zhao Gui relayed information to him.

"Uncle Gui, at the current speed of the beast tide, it will reach the village in about half an hour."

Zhao Gui glanced at her in surprise. He thought that the girl had just encountered a beast tide on her escape route and had been chased to their village by the beast tide.

But now it seems that she knew about it a long time in advance, otherwise how could she know the speed of the beast tide's advance?

"How did you know?"

Lin Manman decisively pointed to the sky, where only a small black dot could be seen, called Ah Dai.

"That's my spirit pet; it can help me scout the situation from high above."

Zhao Gui looked up, but even with his amazing eyesight, he could hardly see Ah Dai's specific situation, since Ah Dai could easily rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

"That's really good." Zhao Gui was a little envious of this little girl. He was an archer, and if he had such scouts and vision, his strength could be improved even further.

"Half an hour, right? That's enough. Listen up, everyone. The beast tide will arrive in half an hour. Prioritize moving those two Type 12 defensive towers and ballistae to the city wall. Non-combat personnel must all go to the underground shelter in twenty minutes."

As Zhao Gui's powerful voice echoed throughout every corner of the square, the villagers of Zhao Family Village began to move two heavy weapons out of the warehouse in an orderly manner.

Ordinary people who had participated in the war also began lining up at the warehouse entrance to receive weapons.

Lin Manman noticed that while some of these weapons were relatively ordinary bows and crossbows, there were also some standard-issue weapons, along with the two city defense energy cannons. However, it seemed that these were all models that the garrison had phased out.

It's just unclear whether they bought it from the garrison or obtained it through some other channel.

Lin Manman didn't think too much about it. They were now in a life-and-death relationship with her. How the other party obtained these things was not important. What mattered was that these things would be useful!

While everyone in Zhao Family Village was busy, she subtly sized up everyone she could see.

Aside from Zhao Gui, who spoke to her at the beginning and was a level seven warrior, there were more than 140 other professionals in Zhao Family Village. However, apart from Uncle Zhao Gui, there was only one other man who looked older than Uncle Zhao Gui and was a level seven warrior.

There were about eight hundred ordinary people left to fight.

If we include the villagers who did not participate in the battle, the village should have more than 1,600 people.

If these professionals are all self-awakened, then the probability of self-awakening among the professionals in the city is actually higher than that among the people of Zhao Family Village.

These people didn't seem to be particularly afraid of the beast tide; in fact, they seemed quite used to it.

She thought that it might be because they lived in an environment where they often faced life-or-death struggles that they had a higher probability of awakening their own consciousness.

Furthermore, most of those who awakened their powers were warriors, with only a handful of priests and mages combined, and not a single beast tamer among them…

"We can already see the beast tide. Girl, come with me to the east wall." Zhao Gui led about thirty professionals and fifty ordinary people behind him, preparing to go up the city wall to prepare for battle.

Another level seven warrior led a quarter of the men to the west, while the remaining men were led to the north and south by two level six warriors respectively.

In Zhao Gui's view, Lin Manman's origins were unknown. Although she might not do anything foolish in a crisis, it would be safer to keep her under his watchful eye just in case.

Lin Manman was naturally more than happy to accept this. The two level-seven warriors were the strongest fighting force in Zhao Family Village. With them by her side, her safety would undoubtedly be greater.

As Zhao Gui and his fellow villagers from Zhao Family Village arrived at the eastern city wall, the sun had already risen high in the sky.

Under the sunlight, a dark mass of wild beasts was rapidly approaching. Because of their high density, it was difficult to distinguish between wild animals and mythical creatures with the naked eye.

But whether they were wild beasts or spirit beasts, the sheer power of their rampage was awe-inspiring, and even the earth trembled incessantly.

When Zhao Gui saw this, his expression also became serious.

"This year's beast tide is larger than in previous years. Everyone must obey orders, fight cautiously, and minimize casualties!"

"Yes!" The villagers of Zhao Family Village, who had already formed a battle formation on the city wall, responded in unison.

"Once these beasts are within range, immediately activate the city defense cannons. Yan Yan, freeze the city walls and the ground beneath them. Xiao Cheng, build an earthen wall behind the traps. The rest of you, use whatever ranged skills you have."

While giving instructions, Zhao Gui also drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

"As for you, girl, I don't know your strength. If your spirit pet has ranged skills, then coordinate with everyone to use them."

Lin Manman nodded. Now was not the time to hide her abilities, so she summoned Amber again.

Rainbow Jade had not fully recovered, and Ruyi's own combat power was limited, so she did not summon them.

"Silver Moon, you work with that mage to freeze the surrounding city walls first. Amber, go to the other side and use fireballs to attack. Remember to place them far away, not near the city walls."

"Awoo~"

The wolf and tiger sisters responded in unison and then went their separate ways in two different directions.

"Honey Badger, you can also help by casting earth shields up front."

Lin Manman did not let the Honey Badger use its talent because the Quicksand Prison is an area skill. After it is used, both opponents and allies in this area will be affected by the terrain.

Unlike the honey badger's domain skills, which can both negatively impact opponents and positively impact one's own side.

This talent usually works well in one-on-one combat, but given today's situation, she fears it might affect the subsequent battles of the other warriors.

After Amber unleashed the fireball spell, she used a soul contract to send a message to Ah Dai in the sky, instructing him to cooperate with Amber's skills to unleash the talent Storm Manipulation.

Suddenly, a massive firestorm swept through the beast tide, instantly engulfing both ferocious beasts and low-level spirit beasts in the sea of ​​fire.

To avoid the firestorm, the beast horde turned and fled.

However, this beast tide is quite large, with a large number of wild beasts and spirit beasts but a low density.

As the ignited beasts fled, they set other beasts ablaze. Although some spirit beasts used their skills to extinguish the fires, they were no match for the sheer number of ferocious beasts.

As the beast tide began to descend into chaos, the people of Zhao Family Village also fired their crossbows, and soon a large number of the beasts at the forefront fell down.

"Hahaha, not bad, little girl! That's an interesting move!" Zhao Gui laughed heartily upon seeing this.

The powerful attack launched by Amber and Ah-Dai boosted the confidence of the other participants in Zhao Village, and some even started joking around.

"Young men and women of the Zhao family, you must work hard! Don't let outsiders outdo you!"

"That's right! You always say you're better than those high school and college students in the city, right? Today's your chance to prove yourself!"

"We've been hunting wild beasts and fighting with spirit beasts since we were very young. What proof do we need? We've survived so many beast tides, when have we ever been afraid? Right?!"

"Haha, good! Well done!" Zhao Gui looked at his younger relatives with undisguised pride.

Life outside the wall forged their strong physique and indomitable fighting spirit. As long as they can stand, they will never let disaster befall their village!

The surging passion and overwhelming fighting spirit even affected Lin Manman, who was standing to the side, causing her own blood to boil uncontrollably.
