Beast Tide 85
Thanks for the reward from Bone Ash Cultivation Fans, everyone collects and votes!
The ground shook violently and ceaselessly, Xiaoming's body swayed left and right, making it extremely difficult for him to even stand still.
In the distance, faint roars of magical beasts could be heard, growing louder and closer. Dust flew everywhere in the distance, trees toppled over, and a deafening rumble shook the air.
In the forest, countless giant trees were knocked down, and the rumbling sound rolled into Su Wei's ears. She exclaimed in surprise: "Is this... a beast tide?"
Beast Tide.
Xia Ming had once heard Anthony mention this term, at that time the old man only lightly mentioned it in passing, but from Anthony's few words, Xia Ming could also hear his fear and astonishment towards the beast tide.
"This is a beast tide, hide quickly, climb up that tree!" Su Weiwei's slender fingers pointed to a towering tree in the distance, her tone carrying a rare hint of urgency.
Xia Ming made a swift decision, consecutively casting two Instant Movement Techniques, then followed by the Star-Stepping Step, instantly arriving at that towering giant tree. He quickly climbed up the tree and stood on a sufficiently high branch.
Climbing onto a branch, Xiaoming's line of sight was completely different due to the varying heights, and he could finally barely make out the full picture of this incident.
This magnificent scene was almost unforgettable for him all his life.
On the dark blue horizon, a black shadow formed a straight line, like waves at high tide, advancing in unison, as if surging forward like a tidal wave.
Like a tidal wave crashing on the shore, the mountain flood rushes forth!
As far as the eye can see, upon closer inspection, the black shadow was actually composed of countless magical beasts, surging forward like a small wave in a turbulent tide, gathering together to form a shocking and terrifying spectacle!
Xia Ming took a deep breath, no wonder it was called the Beast Tide. There were too many magical beasts, at least over a thousand heads, with different levels, but most of them were low-level magical beasts below level 4 - such as Storm Wolf, Flame Beast, Jungle Rhinoceros, Lion Scorpion and so on. They were all rushing in one direction, sprinting together.
The earth's tremors grew more intense, this magnificent scene continued, countless magical beasts rushed in the direction of Xiaoming and his companions!
"Damn it, what's going on here!" Xiaoming couldn't help but curse loudly.
Due to the Instant Movement Technique, Xiaoming climbed up the tree earlier than Su Weiwei and Tang Ge, who were still more than 50 meters away from this towering giant tree.
But the beast tide was getting closer and closer, that rumbling sound, dull and powerful, as if a big hammer hit the chest, wanting to tear it apart.
"Hurry!" Xiaoming urged somewhat anxiously from the tree.
Su Wei's movements were a bit faster than Tang Ge's, her body was as agile as a dragon, her toes lightly touched the ground, and she fluttered up to the big tree in the blink of an eye. Then, with her hands and feet working together, she quickly climbed up, her body extremely nimble.
Just then, the earth's tremors suddenly became more violent, and with a fierce jolt, the towering tree also shook violently. Su Weiwei didn't notice, and her hand slipped off the trunk, and she was about to fall down!
She couldn't help but let out a cry, falling straight down, but Xiaoming suddenly moved, almost using the fastest speed to grab Su Weiwei's hand and pull her up, embracing her in his arms.
A warm, soft jade entered her bosom, a wisp of fragrant orchid scent entered her nose, and her delicate body felt as smooth as water. Her raven-black hair fluttered about, and in her eyes, like the stars on an autumn night, there was still a hint of surprise that had not yet completely faded.
Su Wei's silver-trimmed light armor couldn't hide her slender and beautiful curves, the opening of the armor was just right, from Xia Ming's current position, he could see her snow-white neck and a small part of her warm and jade-like skin, although it was only a glimpse, but that subtle and fleeting beauty was so dazzling.
Her slender waist couldn't withstand the overflowing grip, the curves were tantalizing to the extreme, even with a thin armor separating them, Xiaoming could still easily feel her body's tenderness.
A beauty is a calamity!
Damn it, what nonsense is he thinking about!
Xia Ming quickly regained his composure, his eyes returning to their usual calmness. He released his hand from around Su Weiwei's slender waist and his expression returned to normal.
"Thank you." Su Weiwei also appeared exceptionally calm, but the thin anger and faint redness at the tip of her ears betrayed her current mood.
Tang Ge also climbed up the tree at this time and cursed loudly: "Damn it, how can there be a beast tide? What's going on?"
Xia Ming gazed out, the beast tide growing more turbulent by the second, like a massive wave crashing ceaselessly. Countless magical beasts swirled together, smoke and dust billowing as they charged towards Xia Ming and his two companions.
The ground trembled and made people dizzy, the beasts rushed forward with a loud whistle, less than 100 meters away from Xiaoming's giant tree!
Xia Ming and the other two tightly hugged the thick tree trunk, if they fell down at this time, it would be terrible, they would definitely be trampled into meat patties by these magical beasts, Xia Ming had no doubt about this.
Boom!
The beast tide was like a raging wave, finally arriving, the entire big tree shook and swayed, some slightly thinner branches even broke off and fell down, instantly submerged in the beast group, countless fierce beasts charged towards the direction where Xiaoming and others were, rushing straight over.
Xia Ming used all his magical powers to steadily grasp the branch, and due to the resistance of this towering tree, a small wave of beasts directly crashed into the tree, as if a ripple had encountered a giant rock, booming and pounding against it. The tree also swayed more violently.
Innumerable monsters were tumbling about, some crashing into trees, others being tied down by giant trunks and falling over, rolling around in the beast tide, forming a continuous chain reaction. However, amidst this endless tide of beasts, it was just an inconspicuous ripple.
It wasn't until more than half an hour had passed that the beast tide finally came to an end, with tens of thousands of low-level magical beasts rushing towards the south in a frenzy, amidst rolling thick smoke.
Xia Ming gazed at the misty forest, where more than half of the trees had been destroyed and the ground was pockmarked with deep pits, a scene reminiscent of one that would follow a massive earthquake.
Xia Ming sighed, furrowed his brow in thought, and asked: "How did a beast tide suddenly occur here?"
Su Weiwei thought for a moment and said softly, "The occurrence of the beast tide usually has only two situations. One is because of the proliferation and migration of the demon beasts' tribe, and the second is that something happened in this misty forest that made these ten thousand beasts frightened."
"Given the current situation, the first reason is clearly ruled out. The magical beasts in the beast tide just now were almost all different species, and it's impossible for them to migrate together like this. So, that leaves only the second possibility." Xiaoming said without hesitation.
What happened in the misty forest that made these low-level magical creatures feel so frightened and terrified, triggering such a huge and intense reaction?
Xia Ming and Su Weiwei exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of apprehension and inquiry in each other's eyes.
If it's really the second case, then something big must have happened in the misty forest! This means a huge opportunity, of course, but also a huge danger!
"It seems that our decision to head towards the center of the Misty Forest was correct." Xiaoming didn't show any signs of panic in the face of danger, but instead had a hint of excitement. The fact proved that every time he resolved a crisis, his strength would receive a huge boost.
Su Weiwei also nodded, she was not a vase, but a genius with combat talent that was no less than Xia Ming's.
"Take a rest, Tongge, we'll continue on our way." Xiaoming reminded Tongge as he turned his head back, this guy was the last to climb up the tree trunk, behind Xiaoming and Su Weiwei.
Xia Ming couldn't help but pause for a moment as he turned his head back.
The tree trunk was empty except for him and Su Weiwei, where else could there be the shadow of another person!
"Terrible, it must have been the beast tide just now that swept him away!" Xia Ming's face changed color.
Su Weiwei's eyes also showed a hint of unusual color: "Actually got separated in the beast tide..." The power of the beast tide was not something they could withstand at present, this... probably more ominous than auspicious.
"We'll search this area and see if we can find any trace of Tang Ge!" Xia Ming said, after all, he was his own brother, he couldn't just ignore him.
"En." Su Weiwei also nodded vigorously and flew out of her body, searching the area.
Xia Ming also chose the opposite direction, and both of them started searching.
It took them more than an hour for the two of them to thoroughly search this area.
"No discovery, no trace at all." Xia Ming shook his head and said.
"I don't have it either."
Xia Ming let out a sigh of relief: "Not finding him is actually a good thing, it means this guy isn't dead, otherwise we would have definitely found his body in this area."
Su Weiwei nodded in agreement, and both of them fell silent.
With one member of their three-man team missing, they had to be even more careful.
"Let's go! Since Tang Ge didn't die, he must be heading to the center of the Misty Forest. We'll hurry and search for him along the way!" Xia Ming said resolutely.
"En." Su Weiwei agreed, and the two of them ate some food and continued on their way, trekking through the vast expanse of forest.
