Chapter 147 Beast Tide

Roar...

A series of deafening roars suddenly woke Lu Fan up.

What happened?

Just as Lu Fan frowned in confusion, Li Cunxiao next to him seemed to have thought of something and his face suddenly changed.

"No, it's a spirit beast!"

After Li Cunxiao exclaimed, Luo Cheng, Geng Yan and Dai Lang also reacted.

"My lord, it must be that the bloody smell here is too strong, attracting the spirit beasts in the depths.

We must retreat immediately, otherwise it will be troublesome when the spirit beasts start a beast tide."

Hearing this, Lu Fan also understood instantly, and his face became extremely solemn.

Without any hesitation, he immediately looked at Li Cunxiao, Luo Cheng and others and ordered:

"Immediately let Zhao Tianhu and Lang Zhengfei lead our troops to retreat, and you follow me to cover the rear!"

Hearing that Lu Fan was going to lead them to cover the rear, Li Cunxiao and others immediately became anxious.

It doesn't matter if they cover the rear.

But the lord is a thousand gold bodies, how can he be in the most dangerous area with them?

However, before they could speak to dissuade him, Lu Fan shouted again in an unquestionable tone:

"This is an order, execute it immediately, without any delay!"

He didn't react for a while just now.

But now that he knew the seriousness of the matter, he immediately understood what to do.

Beimang Mountain is very large, and there are countless fierce beasts and spirit beasts gathered inside.

At the same time, there are also countless cultivation resources of various kinds, attracting countless cultivators to enter Beimang Mountain to search for resources.

There are many fierce beasts hunted by cultivators, and there are also many cultivators devoured by fierce beasts.

This is also the law of survival between fierce beasts and human cultivators.

And fierce beasts have extremely strong territorial awareness, except for fierce beasts that live in groups.

So on weekdays, fierce beasts and fierce beasts basically don't gather together. Even if they meet, there will be a life-and-death battle, and the winner will devour the loser.

This is true for fierce beasts, and even more so for spirit beasts.

This is indeed the case under normal circumstances, but there are exceptions to everything, and the beast tide is an exception.

There is nothing wrong with individual cultivators and fierce beasts hunting each other.

But once human cultivators unite to massacre fierce beasts on a large scale, it will cause the spirit beasts to be enraged.

Spirit beasts are different from fierce beasts.

Fierce beasts have very limited intelligence, and some low-level fierce beasts even have only instinctive killing consciousness.

But spirit beasts have wisdom that is no less than that of human cultivators, and some high-level spirit beasts are even smarter than human cultivators.

For spirit beasts, fierce beasts are equivalent to their people.

On weekdays, they don't care about the life and death of fierce beasts, whether it is between fierce beasts and fierce beasts, or between fierce beasts and humans.

But once human cultivators unite to massacre fierce beasts on a large scale, these enraged spirit beasts will unite to launch a beast tide.

To put it simply.

That is, higher-level spirit beasts will drive all fierce beasts to unite to attack and massacre human cultivators who break in.

Any human cultivator in their area will be madly massacred by all fierce beasts.

This is the so-called beast tide.

The reason why the beast tide is so terrifying is that there are too many beasts, and all of them are extremely bloodthirsty and ferocious, and their combat power is even more terrifying.

Under the same realm, the combat power of beasts is much stronger than that of human cultivators.

As for ordinary soldiers, it goes without saying.

Because of this, any cultivator will subconsciously feel fear when hearing the word "beast tide".

Listening to Lu Fan's unquestionable words, Li Cunxiao and others no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded and quickly arranged for more than 18,000 Zhenbei soldiers to evacuate.

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are stationed near Beimang Mountain all year round, guarding the northern border of Daqian.

So ordinary soldiers also know what the beast tide means.

Therefore, after the retreat order was issued, all ordinary soldiers retreated with all their strength.

Zhao Tianhu and Lang Zhengfei originally wanted to stay behind, but were firmly stopped by Lu Fan.

The helpless two could only speed up and lead more than 18,000 Zhenbei soldiers to retreat quickly.

Rumble...

Just when Lu Fan and others covered the retreat of the Zhenbei Army and left the valley for three or four hundred meters, the ground began to shake violently.

As the ground shook violently, roars rang out one after another.

The beast tide really happened.

Feeling the violent shaking of the ground, Lu Fan shouted to the Zhenbei Army soldiers who were retreating quickly in front:

"Faster, speed up the retreat."

Although he had not experienced the beast tide personally, everyone knew about the horror of the beast tide, and all kinds of ancient books had records of it.

Just looking at those few words of records was enough to feel deep terror.

Li Cunxiao and others' faces were also extremely solemn and ugly, and they all became alert and vigilant.

But at this moment, everyone could do nothing.

Rumble...

The ground was still shaking constantly, and a strong and fierce aura was constantly sweeping in from behind.

Lu Fan could clearly hear the sound of trees being broken from behind.

It was the sound of those huge beasts rushing forward, directly breaking all the tall trees in front of them.

"Hurry... faster..."

Zhao Tianhu and Lang Zhengfei hurriedly urged all the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army to speed up their escape.

In front of the terrifying beast tide, the few people on their side were nothing.

I'm afraid they can't even stop the beast tide's impact.

Listening to the approaching sound and the extremely strong and fierce aura, Lu Fan's eyes flashed with an anxious look.

"No, it's too late. We must buy them enough time to retreat."

Although the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army have some cultivation, most of them are only in the body-building realm.

This cultivation can play a role on the battlefield and kill more enemies.

But in front of these fierce and terrifying beasts, it is completely useless.

Saying this, Lu Fan looked at Li Cunxiao, Luo Cheng, Geng Yan, Dai Lang and others.

"We have to find a way to lead the beast tide to other places, or directly lead the attack direction of the beast tide to the rear, so that they can attack those Tianwu barbarians."

After the beast tide starts, those beasts will all become crazy and bloodthirsty, and their speed is extremely fast.

There is no problem for them to evacuate safely.

But more than 18,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers can't escape anyway.

Abandoning more than 18,000 soldiers and escaping alone, Lu Fan can't do it anyway.

So they could only think of ways to change the attack direction of the beast tide, or forcibly stop the beast tide's attack progress.

Only in this way can they buy enough time for the more than 18,000 soldiers to retreat.

Compared with the second method, the first method is more reliable.

After all, it is a bit of a pipe dream to rely on the power of a few people to forcibly stop the terrifying beast tide.

After Lu Fan finished speaking, Li Cunxiao and others all nodded in agreement...
