Chapter 40: The Tide of Magical Beasts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Li Qingming spoke, everyone looked excited.

“Then, should we hurry over and meet up with the teachers?” The tide of spiritual energy that gushed out at the moment of the birth of the heavenly treasure was extremely rich, and it was an extremely great supplement for cultivators.

Yan Gu was also eager to try his luck.

Everyone had come to the Misty Forest in search of resources. If they were a step late, someone else might get there before them.

“Wait,” Yan Xi raised her hand to stop him. Her eyes were alert as she looked deeply ahead.

She could smell danger in the air.

“You’re so paranoid. Why did you insist on coming to the Misty Forest?” one of the students asked unhappily.

Then, someone realized that not only Yan Xi, but Yun Yuhan and Ji San also did not look excited like the others.

“Let’s hurry up and leave!” Yan Xi’s expression suddenly changed. She pulled Yan Chushi and called Yan Gu and Ji San to leave together!

“Yan family disciples, if you don’t want to die, run to the outskirts of the forest!” She shouted loudly as she ran with Yan Chushi!

Seeing Yan Xi fleeing, the people from the other families mocked her with disdainful expressions.

The people of the Yan family looked at each other hesitantly. Some of them wanted to go with Yan Xi.

Yan Lan and Yan Hu were also in the Yan family. Yan Lan shouted, “It was not easy for us to get into the Misty Forest. How can we go back? The earthquake just now might have been the reaction of the heavenly treasure being born. Even if there is danger, the elders and the family head are in front of us. If they didn’t say anything, it means that there is no danger! Why should we listen to the orders of a piece of trash?”

Some of the people who were following her stopped in their tracks.

A cold light flashed in Yan Xi’s eyes, and she ignored them. She had done her best to warn them.

No one could stop them if they wanted to die.

In just a short while, Yan Xi had run from the front of the line to the back with Yan Chushi.

Yan Gu tried his best to follow behind her. Seeing that the others were not moving, he said anxiously, “Run!”

Finally, the Yan family’s disciples began to run behind them in twos and threes.

“A bunch of cowards.” Looking at the people who had left with Yan Xi, Yan Lan snorted disdainfully and walked forward with Yan Hu and the others. “I’ll tell the family head about Yan Xi running away in the face of danger!”

However, she had only taken two steps when the ground began to shake again.

The earth quaked and the mountains shook as if a million-strong army was marching on the ground at the same time!

A chaotic and brutal aura spread out. A dark mass in the distance swarmed towards them like locusts, sending dust flying!

Yun Yuhan’s eyes narrowed as a pair of magnificent wings formed from ice crystals unfurled from his back. He slowly rose into the sky.

Yun Yuhan was actually a mystical King!

Compared to his cultivation, what shocked everyone more was his words! It was exactly as Yan Xi had said!

“Everyone, retreat from the Misty Forest immediately!”

Almost in the next moment, the people who had been laughing at Yan Xi froze for a second and immediately turned to leave.

Compared to Yan Xi, who had no cultivation, Yun Yuhan’s words were more convincing.

However, there were still people who could not help but complain.

“Ugh… Again? We just ran here and haven’t recovered our strength yet.”

“That’s right. The elders didn’t even inform us.”

Everyone suddenly realized that from the moment they arrived, no elder had come to check on the situation even after Yan Xi and Duanmu Rou had caused such a big commotion!

Soon, everyone had no energy to complain.

Because someone with sharp eyes saw that the black mass behind them was none other than a tide of magical beasts!

“A tide of magical beasts! The tide of magical beasts is here!”

Everyone looked back and saw thousands of magical beasts charging toward them.

Everyone’s faces turned as white as snow in an instant!

The Misty Forest was a small magical beast forest next to Muyun. Occasionally, there would be a tide of magical beasts, but it was only a small one, with twenty to thirty magical beasts at most!

But now, there were hundreds and thousands of them.

Some people even suspected that all the magical beasts in the Misty Forest had come out!

The ground trembled under the stomping of the magical beasts, and the retreating crowd was in chaos, all of them trying to escape with all their strength!

But the magical beasts were still getting closer and closer, and the roars behind them were terrifying.

However, the forest road path was narrow, and they had a lot of people.

They could not all run at the same time!

Everyone wished they could turn back time! They would definitely have run away with Yan Xi!

Yan Lan looked at Yan Xi, whose shadow could no longer be seen in front of her. She was bitter and jealous and wanted to kill her.

Yan Xi, who had run away with Yan Chushi and the others, frowned and found that something was wrong.

Other than the tide of magical beasts behind them, they also encountered a few tides of low-level magical beast waves that were charging forward.

However, all the magical beasts that charged at them were killed by Ji San.

“Don’t run.” Yan Xi suddenly stood still and looked at a big tree. “Let’s climb up the tree.”

There were thousands of magical beasts behind her. She did not run away, but instead, asked them to climb the tree. If it were anyone else, they would have scoffed at her words.

But now, the people beside her were her friends. They trusted her. They climbed up after her.

Seeing Yan Xi climb up the tree, Ji San stepped on the tree trunk, and with a few leaps, he reached the top of the tree with her, squeezing in with the three of them.

He squatted on a thick branch and looked at Yan Xi curiously. “Yan Xixi, do you want to go up the trunk? Have you never experienced a tide of magical beasts? During a tide, the attacks of the magical beasts increase greatly. They will not care if you were on the ground or on the tree, they will still attack you. Moreover, high-level magical beasts also have elemental powers and can attack us easily. I can deal with a dozen magical beasts, but if the magical beast army comes at me from behind, I won’t be able to defeat them.”

Without waiting for Yan Xi to speak, Yan Gu, whose legs were still weak, heard his words and beamed. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

A tide of magical beasts like this only happened once every hundred years. At their current age, they had only heard of it and had never seen it with their own eyes. How could they be as knowledgeable as Ji San from the Longyuan Empire about the tide?

“You didn’t ask.” Ji San rolled his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and grinned at him with an annoying smile.

Yan Gu finally understood why Ji San was so unpopular!

Yan Gu looked up at the sky in despair, even thinking about whether he should write a will before the tide arrived. Maybe in the future, someone would pick it up and help him give it to his parents.

Before he could sink into despair, a clear voice rang out beside him.
