Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 897 The Beast Tide Arrives (6k)

"Please calm down."

Just then, Qian Duoduo stepped forward, and the nine spirit rings at his feet, representing the best spirit ring configuration, instantly lit up.

Along with them appeared Yan Shaozhe, who flew out of Shrek City.

"Shao Zhe, what happened?"

Qian Duoduo, with keen insight, summoned his Oolong Shield, his expression grave.

Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "Judging from the sound, it seems that Xiong Jun has been angered. The accuracy of our Shrek's high-altitude detector is still a bit lacking. We can only see a large black shadow moving rapidly from the mixed zone towards our Shrek City."

"How could that be?"

Qian Duoduo's face was filled with disbelief: "You mean... a beast tide?"

The two did not avoid talking to the crowd below. When the words "beast tide" appeared, even Princess Vina and the others turned pale instantly.

They clearly understood the horror of the beast tide. Most of Shrek's elders had gone to aid Heaven Dou City. Could the remaining elders really withstand the sudden beast tide?

At this moment, many people subconsciously looked up at the sky, where the pitch-black darkness was spreading from the east.

At this moment, the black figure seemed to slow down its advance, but the oppressive force emanating from the sky still made people feel breathless.

"Everyone whose cultivation level is below the seventh ring, please take refuge in the Spirit Pagoda first. The Spirit Pagoda has a very high defense level and can withstand the attack of a Title Douluo. Do not cause unnecessary casualties. We will wait for further arrangements."

Hearing the conversation above, Hun Tiancan quickly reacted, urging everyone to leave the Spirit Transmission Tower immediately.

Many Soul Masters hesitated for a moment, wondering if it would be safer to go directly into Shrek City instead of retreating into the Spirit Pagoda.

However, Long Aotian and the others had already quickly retreated into the Spirit Transmission Tower, followed by Princess Xu Jiujiu and the others. Seeing that the members of the Body Sect and the royal families had all retreated into the Spirit Transmission Tower, the others subconsciously moved towards the Spirit Transmission Tower as well.

Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe transformed into streaks of light, traversing the entire Shrek City and flying towards the East Gate.

On the city walls, the Shrek City defense forces were busy at work. Various defensive soul tools were being deployed in full swing.

Despite Shrek City's long period of peace, the city's defense forces were remarkably well-organized. The pressure from the air had left them all pale, but they gritted their teeth and continued doing what they were supposed to do.

Shrek City's army totals ten thousand men. Thirty percent of them are Soul Masters.

Many of these Soul Masters were originally from the outer academy of Shrek Academy. They failed to get into the inner academy, so they chose to join the city defense army for several years of training.

On the city wall, cannons pointed into the distance, and various fixed-mount soul-guided shells were already mounted. In less than a quarter of an hour, three thousand soul masters had assembled, all taking their positions on the city wall, ready for battle.

The remaining 7,000 soldiers, or more accurately, auxiliary soldiers, were deployed almost one-on-one to provide backup for the Soul Masters. An additional 4,000 soldiers were prepared to provide support.

The inner disciples of Shrek Academy were also busy, and their figures quickly moved towards the east city wall.

In the distance, the enemy's tracks were gradually becoming visible. How many forces on the entire continent could cause such a celestial phenomenon, and so brazenly launch a massive attack on Shrek City's army?

Only the power of a nation could generate such a force. But why would the three kingdoms originally belonging to the Douluo Continent take action against Shrek City?

As for the Sun Moon Empire, Orange's main force is still in the northern part of Tianhun.

So, besides the power of the state?

There's only one other place, and it's a place even more terrifying than any of the Three Kingdoms in Douluo Continent.

The army in that place, though lacking in intelligence, possessed a powerful fighting instinct; they were inherently bloodthirsty and filled with hatred for humanity.

Almost every one of them is a powerful figure. They are nearly endless, and behind each of them is the support of the continent's top experts.

Yes, this terrifying force is none other than the Star Dou Great Forest, a place that Shrek Academy's neighbor has had countless entanglements with, and which almost every Shrek Academy student has set foot in!

The beast tide is coming!

In the distance, a dark mass of various soul beasts was slowly approaching Shrek City. Their pace was not fast, but they were very organized.

They were arranged in a fan shape, almost in sync with the dark clouds in the sky. Faintly, accompanied by a gentle breeze, the faint fishy smell emanating from the soul beasts had already reached the top of Shrek City.

What's gotten into the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest now?! What on earth happened to provoke their attack?

It should be noted that in recent years, the Star Dou Great Forest has been very peaceful, and there has been no news of anyone killing a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest has developed rapidly in the last few hundred years, with powerful figures emerging one after another.

Even the higher-ups at Shrek Academy wouldn't go there easily.

But what's the reason this time?

Why did the Star Dou Great Forest launch such a large-scale offensive, resembling an army?

The power hidden in the shadows was breathtaking; although its form was obscured, it still instilled an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Old Song approached Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe, and said in a deep voice, "How come there was no warning at all? The Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide against us? What exactly happened?"

Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe both gave wry smiles.

Qian Duoduo subconsciously took out several defensive soul tools: "Who the hell knows? This beast tide isn't as big as before, but I can still feel the power fluctuations of two ferocious beasts."

"If this beast tide had come earlier, it would have been fine, but the timing is just too unfortunate."

At this point, Qian Duoduo's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like they could trap two flies.

Old Song nodded slightly and said, "We can't start a fight without knowing the facts. We must find out the details first."

"Judging from the scale, this time it shouldn't be the Beast God Emperor Tian personally in charge, but even so, with Xuanzi absent, we are still at a disadvantage."

As he spoke, Old Song took a step forward and stood directly on the battlement, spreading his arms wide and letting out a crisp sound as he looked up at the sky.

The crisp sound waves were like thousands of sharp swords shooting into the sky, and a powerful aura instantly erupted from Old Song.

That roar alone was enough to startle the distant army of soul beasts.

Old Song's body transformed into a streak of azure light and shot into the sky, like a shooting star, with a crystalline azure tail.

Moreover, the higher this ball of blue light rose, the larger its volume became, and soon it illuminated the entire sky belonging to Shrek Academy in blue.

A brilliant blue light shone brightly, fearlessly charging towards the dark, heavy clouds.
