Chapter 70: (2): The Beast Tide Erupts



The surroundings had been empty, and suddenly there were treasures appearing, all concentrated in one place. Who would believe that? Even a fool wouldn\'t fall for such an obvious trap.

However, it turned out that spirit beasts might actually believe it. Such a simple trap that even a seven-year-old wouldn\'t fall for might just work on a spirit beast.

Especially with fish-like spirit beasts. Despite not being blind, they would see a sharp hook in the water and still bite it, getting caught by humans. Isn’t that strange?

His trap was much more sophisticated than a fishing hook. It might not deceive people, but tricking a dumb fish would be easy.

And things indeed happened just as Long Xuan had predicted.

The big green dragon fish lying on the shore basking in the sun suddenly sniffed the air. Its eyes lit up, and it started moving towards the scent of the wine.

Long Xuan was overjoyed. It really was a foolish fish. Being a fish and still daring to move inland—if it doesn\'t die, what will? Does eating make it stupid?

The dragon fish quickly moved to the wine jar, sniffed it, and showed an intoxicated expression.

Suddenly, it frowned fiercely, seemingly sensing something amiss. It cautiously looked around but didn\'t look up.

Seeing no one around, it relaxed, thinking it was just overthinking, and began enjoying the delicious spirit wine, showing a deeply intoxicated expression.

Despite its large size, its alcohol tolerance was poor. It didn\'t take long before it was swaying and then collapsed to the ground, snoring loudly.

From the tree, Long Xuan could hear its deafening snores, its belly rising and falling with each breath.

"Success!"

Long Xuan was thrilled. It really was a dumb fish, so easy to fool. With just a little trick, he captured it without bloodshed.

Long Xuan slowly climbed down the tree, making sure not to make a sound. Even though the dragon fish was drunk, he remained cautious.

He moved stealthily to the side of the dragon fish and then…

“Life-Destruction Palm!”

“Life-Destruction Palm!”

“Life-Destruction Palm!”

...

And then, it was over.

Long Xuan skinned and deboned the fish, enjoyed a nice meal of fish meat, and left with the remaining fish meat and the green spirit insect.

With another rare spirit insect in hand, he was in a great mood, humming a little tune as he set off to find the third rare spirit insect.

He was completely hooked on finding rare spirit insects.

The greedy side of him even considered staying here until he collected all nine rare spirit insects.

However, just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in the ground, as if a large group of something was running.

His expression changed, and he quickly used his eye of Heavenly secret to look into the distance. What he saw was his acquaintance.

Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy were running frantically towards him, looking panicked, glancing back frequently.

Long Xuan followed their gaze and saw a swarm of black rats chasing them, a large mass of them.

But these rats seemed a bit too big—many were as tall as a person! Calling these rats? They seemed to have turned into spirits!

Although Long Xuan saw the rat swarm in advance, he didn\'t choose to avoid them.

The rats looked numerous, but they were only first-stage early-level spirit beasts, not enough to scare him. As the rat swarm approached, he unleashed a Blazing flame Palm, engulfing the rat swarm in a sea of fire.

A first-stage early-level spirit beast couldn\'t withstand the Blazing flames Palm\'s attack. The large rat swarm could be terrifying, using their numbers to overwhelm even a peak Spirit Gathering stage Gu Master.

They could even threaten Gu cultivators in the Marrow cleansing stage, and with more numbers, even Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators would avoid them.

But sometimes, rat swarms weren\'t scary, just like the black armored insects he had wiped out before. Swarm creatures were scary in numbers, but individually, they were weak and easy to annihilate with a large-scale attack.

Long Xuan was one of the few Gu cultivators with an overpowering ultimate move, making him unafraid of such swarming creatures, whether insects or beasts.

With just one Blazing flame Palm, he incinerated the majority of the rat swarm, saving the two side characters in the process.

"I saved you two again. You each owe me two lives now. Better think hard about how to repay me." Long Xuan joked.

Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy sat down, panting heavily, clearly exhausted, almost at their limits. If Long Xuan had been a bit slower, they would have been devoured by the rat swarm, even with the Little Stong Gu, it wouldn\'t have saved them.

After a while, Li Laodao caught his breath and thanked Long Xuan, "Thank you, young friend, for your help. I owe you a great debt."

Little Medicine Boy also thanked him, "Thanks. What kind of Divine technique was that just now? I\'ve never seen it before!"

“Usually, the range and power of attacks are inversely related. Single-target spirit arts have high power, and area attacks have weaker power. Expanding the attack range usually sacrifices power.”

“But your spirit art has a large range and high power. It\'s not an ordinary spirit technique.” Little Medicine Boy looked at Long Xuan with amazement.

"Powerful, huh? Maybe it\'s because of my Ten Absolute Body." Long Xuan replied casually.

Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy looked skeptical. They weren\'t stupid. Every ability Long Xuan had shown was something they had never seen before.

Especially that white energy ball that almost blew them up. They had never seen such a powerful spiritual technique, which was simply exaggerated.

If it were just one or two unfamiliar abilities, they might think it was their ignorance. But if all of them were new, they had to suspect that these incredible techniques were created by this young man.

Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy exchanged shocked glances.

Long Xuan didn\'t want to discuss this further, so he changed the subject, "What about you? Why were you being chased by a swarm of rats? Did you provoke them?"

“These things are like those rabbits—numerous but not yielding good treasures. Provoking them is a thankless task.”

Li Laodao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I didn\'t want to provoke them. A rat tide broke out. No, to be precise, it\'s a beast tide now. The rat swarm is just one group among many."

"And we only encountered a small part of the rat tide. We\'re lucky. If it were a larger swarm with flying rats, fire rats, or even a rat king, you wouldn\'t have been able to save us. No matter how strong your technique is, you can\'t handle a full-scale rat tide."

“Indeed!” Little Medicine Boy stood up, looking very serious. “Those Gu Kings’ predictions were accurate. Now, the Great Ten Thousand Mountains have erupted in a beast tide, and it\'s enormous. It will spread to human regions, and such a large-scale beast tide is rare in a thousand years.”

“The Great Ten Thousand Mountains are in chaos now. We must leave here as quickly as possible.”

“We were lucky to encounter a small rat swarm. If we run into a large one next time, we won\'t be so lucky to escape.”
