232: Chapter 232 The Beast Tide Riot: The Human Army Makes a Comeback
"I never thought I would be able to witness such a sci-fi scene with my own eyes... I can die without regrets!"
"You call this scene sci-fi? It's practically mythical fantasy, okay!"
"The Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle is definitely not an ordinary creature; he actually defeated a mythical creature dragon... It's truly incredible!"
"Do you guys think the Ancient Divine Phoenix might actually be a real phoenix?"
"How the hell would I know!"
In the clear sky, the personnel on several Jianghai City helicopters exclaimed one after another, their tones filled with shock, still unable to process the battle scene they had just witnessed.
In their hearts, that mythical creature dragon that appeared out of nowhere was incomparably powerful. Even from several kilometers away, they could still feel a deathly trembling from the intimidating aura emitted by that dragon.
Yet, such a powerful mythical creature was actually defeated by the Ancient Divine Phoenix right under their watch!
That was a creature from myths... It was a dragon...
It took the people on the helicopters a full ten minutes to compose themselves, and just as they were preparing to leave, they noticed something strange.
"Look!"
"There's a huge swarm of beasts approaching from the distance!"
"So many!"
"This must be all the beasts living on this land on the edge of the Qinling Mountains!"
A vast ocean of beasts rushed over from the distance, with no end in sight. Looking down from high altitude, it was like streams of "rivers" rapidly surging toward this place.
The number of beasts was enormous. From the high-altitude perspective, it was like seeing ants the size of black dots moving rapidly in one direction.
On the ground, the mountains and forests shook, and dust filled the sky.
Everyone was somewhat alarmed.
"What kind of madness has gotten into this group of beasts! Fortunately, we are at an altitude of a thousand meters; no beast will notice us..."
"I remember now, a few months ago, this kind of inexplicable beast tide broke out in our Jianghai City. It is said that the source of the beast tide outbreak was the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain."
"The beasts on this land really seem to have been attracted by something."
"Wait... look, the beasts have stopped moving!"
"Holy crap!"
Without needing to use the high-magnification camera lenses, the group could clearly see with their naked eyes that the stampeding beasts had suddenly stopped in place.
"This area... is within a few kilometers of the battlefield between the Ancient Creature and the dragon!"
One person exclaimed!
The group's expressions changed, and one person thought of something and shouted!
"I know why this group of beasts has gathered around!"
"A few months ago, a relevant organization reported that the reason the creatures living on Blue Star attack us humans is because our human bodies contain large amounts of spiritual energy substances. Creatures that consume our flesh and blood obtain large amounts of spiritual energy and become stronger..."
"Just now, I noticed that when the Ancient Divine Phoenix attacked that dragon, the dragon scattered a lot of flesh and blood... This is likely the reason for the riot of this large group of beasts."
The people on the helicopter nodded in agreement, and someone asked in confusion.
"Then why did this group of beasts suddenly stop moving toward the giant crater?"
"Maybe it's because the Ancient Divine Phoenix didn't leave here long ago, and the aura of those two powerful creatures still lingers here..."
Hearing him say this, the group realized that there was still an aura in the surrounding air that made them tremble.
"Let's wait here for a while and see what kind of news this group of beasts can bring us..."
"Okay."
They waited for over two hours, and the aura in the air that made creatures tremble gradually dissipated, at which point the tens of thousands of beasts on the ground started to riot again.
In an instant, the roars of beasts surged like a tide. Dust flew across this land on the edge of the Qinling Mountains, and countless tall trees were shaken and pushed over by the beast tide.
These tens of thousands of beasts had indeed rushed over because of the tempting aura emitted by the flesh and blood of the Black Flood Dragon. Unlike Ye Yang, whose ancient genes automatically increase in large amounts every day, ordinary creatures can only rely on bathing in the scarlet moonlight in the wild every day to slowly increase the ancient genes in their bodies to achieve atavism.
Or by consuming ancient spiritual plants, or by devouring the flesh and blood of powerful creatures.
The latter two methods are evolutionary shortcuts that allow them to possess powerful strength in a short period of time, so the flesh and blood dropped by the Black Flood Dragon was a temptation they could not refuse!
For this, tens of thousands of beasts erupted into a great battle.
The helicopters in the sky looked through the high-magnification camera screens, and seeing such a bloody scene, their hearts were filled with awe.
"Is this the cruelty that nature has exposed after spiritual energy substances appeared on Blue Star..."
"I always feel that we humans will join in on this in the future..."
"Just imagine, these beasts might evolve into creatures as powerful as the Ancient Divine Phoenix in the future, and I feel a chill down my spine. I am full of pessimism about our human future..."
"Stop thinking about useless things, don't forget that we humans still have a powerful modern army!"
"Heh! Don't forget, the reason why the army stationed on the edge of the Qinling Mountains in the distance suddenly disappeared, and the reason for the collapse of that area, is very likely caused by this dragon!"
"What did you say?! Do you mean that our Jianghai City army has all been wiped out?"
"So many people sacrificed, that's impossible..."
Boom!
An abrupt, explosive sound interrupted the discussion of the people on the helicopter, and they immediately looked at the high-magnification camera screen.
"That is... our Jianghai City army!"
"Jianghai City army!"
On the ground, an army of ten thousand personnel, ready for battle, rushed toward this place. There were land off-road vehicles, rocket launchers, and even heavy armored vehicles, while the sky was densely packed with assembled armed combat helicopters.
The vehicles capable of speeding through the primitive forest were specially designed for the environment. Although the large trees in the forest had become unusually thick due to the influence of spiritual energy, the spacing between each giant tree had increased significantly, with the distance between each large tree being at least several tens of meters.
As long as the transport vehicles carrying heavy firepower and troops bypassed special terrain, they could still traverse the primitive dense forest.
At this moment, the ten-thousand-strong Jianghai City army had already begun a missile carpet-bombing attack on the noisy and chaotic herd of beasts.
Medium and small missiles rained down like a huge hailstorm, enveloping the sky above the rampaging beast tide.
"Roar... what is this..."
Beasts that were fighting and trying to get close to the giant crater sensed something and looked up into the sky.
The sharp warheads gradually enlarged in their vision and landed on the ground...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Huge explosions soared into the sky! They drowned out the sounds of all the beast roars!
The massive waves of fire from the missile explosions covered all the beasts on this several-kilometer-wide land...
