Chapter 108: Beast Tide
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Beast tide? How large is it?!” An Lin was startled by this news.
“Not too sure. There’s a dense and dark pack of them, definitely thousands. Furthermore, they’re charging in our direction!” There was a solemn expression on Xiao Chou’s face.
“Holy f*ck! Let’s run!” An Lin yelled urgently.
If it was one hundred mutant beasts migrating, they could at least try to circle around. With a tide of thousands, however, there was a chance that there were perhaps even Soul Beasts amongst them!
Just like that, they started fleeing back toward the city.
After a while, their expressions became even more grave.
They realized that the direction taken by the beast tide was almost identical to their direction of escape. It appeared as if their target destination was also Ding’an City…
Feeling uneasy, An Lin spoke to the Golden-Eyed Monkey King urgently. “Xiao Chou, you can fly, right? Fly back first and notify Sword Immortal Ling Xiao and City Lord Zheng Qianqiu of this situation!”
Xiao Chou also knew of the urgency of this situation, and he prepared to fly off on a cloud.
Right at this moment, however, a girl whizzed past on her sword.
“Hi, An Lin!”
A crisp and pleasant voice traveled down from the skies.
An Lin looked up. It was Xu Xiaolan!
Xu Xiaolan was delighted upon seeing An Lin. However, she suddenly saw something else and her pretty face darkened.
The sword she was flying on returned to her hands and a flaming sword projection slashed hundreds of meters into the distance.
“Ugly Demon Monkey, you dare attack my classmates?! Accept your death!”
Xiao Chou was running behind An Lin and was just about to fly off on his cloud. Then, he saw the flaming sword projection rushing toward him…
Xiao Chou was startled, and he immediately raised his silver staff to block the sword slash.
Boom!
The devastating power of the flaming sword swept over a large area, and even An Lin was almost knocked down to the floor.
“Xu Xiaolan, this monkey is a friend!” An Lin yelled.
“Friend?” Xu Xiaolan knitted her pretty eyebrows. However, her expression quickly relaxed.
An Lin always did weird and bizarre things. Having an extremely ugly monkey with him wasn’t all that strange.
“Say, why did you fly over by yourself? Where are your teammates?” An Lin asked.
As if remembering what she wanted to do, Xu Xiaolan slapped her forehead. “Oh, that’s right! I still have to tell the homeroom teacher about that matter!”
Then, she glanced at An Lin and replied, “My teammates are sitting on a saucepan lid, they’re fairly safe.
“An Lin, you guys should hurry back to Ding’an City. When the time comes, I’ll give you guys a big surprise!”
An Lin grimaced. “The surprise you speak of isn’t the beast tide, right?”
Xu Xiaolan was shocked. “How did you know?!”
An Lin sighed. “Xiao Chou saw it.”
As they were talking, the ground started to tremor lightly.
“An Lin, I still have important matters to attend to, so I don’t have time to explain. You guys run quickly!”
Saying this, Xu Xiaolan got back onto her sword and flew off into the distance.
An Lin shook his head in exasperation and continued running toward Ding’an City with his teammates.
Because Xu Xiaolan was going to notify the homeroom teacher anyway, Xiao Chou couldn’t be bothered rushing over on his cloud anymore. Instead, he followed behind An Lin.
At this moment, another figure whizzed past. A warm and gentle male voice traveled down from the skies. “Eh? Student An Lin?”
The sprinting An Lin looked up and saw a handsome male dressed in a fluttering white robe. It was Xuanyuan Cheng!
Xuanyuan Cheng was delighted upon seeing An Lin. However, he suddenly saw something else and his face darkened.
“Ugly Demon Monkey, don’t you dare attack my classmates!”
A white sword projection erupted from Xuanyuan Cheng’s sword as he slashed toward the monkey chasing behind An Lin…
“Holy f*ck! Again?!” Xiao Chou almost burst into tears.
Whenever they came across someone, he was attacked. Who on earth had he offended?
Xiao Chou whipped his silver staff out to block Xuanyuan Cheng’s strike. Xuanyuan Cheng was stronger than Xu Xiaolan, and his strike crushed Xiao Chou into a half kneeling position.
Boom!
A devastating shockwave blew An Lin off his feet. Even Miao Tian and the others, who were running ahead, almost lost their footing.
“Big Brother Cheng! It’s all a misunderstanding! Xiao Chou is a friend!” An Lin yelled.
“Friend?” Xuanyuan Cheng knitted his eyebrows. However, his expression quickly relaxed.
An Lin always did weird and bizarre things. Having an extremely ugly monkey with him wasn’t all that strange…
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Cheng looked at the Golden-Eyed Monkey King apologetically. He clasped his hands in a salute and said, “Brother Xiao Chou, it was my fault that I acted so rashly. I’m so sorry for any offense I caused.”
Hearing Xuanyuan Cheng apologize so earnestly, Xiao Chou’s terrible mood improved a little. He shook his head and replied, “It’s fine, it’s not your fault. If I want to blame someone, then I should blame myself for being too ugly. Furthermore, I was chasing behind Big Brother An. It’s normal that people would misunderstand.”
At this moment, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King finally understood why he was always attacked.
He was called ‘Ugly Demon Monkey’ whenever they came across someone, how could he not understand…
An Lin: “…”
Xuanyuan Cheng: “…”
Xiao Chou’s remark did make a bit of sense. However, why did it sound so bitter and miserable?
Hearing this, the emotional Miao Tian choked up and she almost started shedding tears.
Then, as if thinking of something, Xuanyuan Cheng took a jade-like pearl out of his storage ring and tossed it toward An Lin. “This is the Beast Core of a Three-Headed Flying Python. I helped you dig it out.”
As he caught the Beast Core, An Lin was extremely moved. “Thank you, Big Brother Cheng!”
Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled and continued, “You should return to Ding’an City quickly, we’ve prepared a big surprise for you!”
An Lin: “…”
What a familiar situation this was. He couldn’t help but ridicule, “It’s a beast tide, yeah? Are your teammates also sitting on a saucepan lid?”
Xuanyuan Cheng was shocked. “Eh? How did you know?!”
“I saw Xu Xiaolan just before this,” An Lin sighed. “She also attacked Xiao Chou.”
Xiao Chou’s heart throbbed in pain. It was as if some scar had been cut open.
Xuanyuan Cheng glanced at Xiao Chou sympathetically and continued, “We’ll talk later. I still have to inform the other students around here, lest they are caught up in the beast tide.”
“Bye, Big Brother Cheng!”
An Lin waved goodbye to Xuanyuan Cheng.
At this time, the rumbling footsteps of the beast tide could already be heard.
An Lin’s team continued running toward Ding’an City.
This time, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King ran at the front of the pack. Following behind An Lin was really asking for trouble.
Instead of him chasing after An Lin, it would be far better for An Lin and the others to be chasing after him. That way, others surely wouldn’t misunderstand.
…
In a private estate within Ding’an City.
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao and City Lord Zheng Qianqiu were enjoying cups of tea.
Right now, dusk was setting in and around sixty students had returned to the estate already.
As he was sipping on tea, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao tallied up the students’ results.
A female flew into the estate on her sword.
Seeing who had come, Sword Immortal Ling Xiao smiled faintly. “Student Xu Xiaolan, why did you hurry back by yourself? Where are your team members?”
There was a look of excitement on Xu Xiaolan’s beautiful face.
She didn’t answer Sword Immortal Ling Xiao’s question, rather, she exclaimed eagerly, “Homeroom teacher, we’ve prepared a big surprise for you!”
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao raised his eyebrow, his interest piqued. “Oh? What surprise?”
“A surprise which will help us get things done once and for all!” Xu Xiaolan replied.
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao became even more curious after hearing this. He took a sip of tea and gestured for her to continue.
“We caused a beast tide. We attracted thousands of mutant beasts, and they’re all charging toward Ding’an City! We’re going to make a massive killing!” Xu Xiaolan revealed excitedly.
“Pffft…!”
Sword Immortal Ling Xiao spat out a mouthful of tea.
