Chapter 102 Is this human courting death?
Qinglong Fortress.
The largest military fortress deep in the southern mountains.
It is also the lair of the three half-step sixth-tier beast king.
At this moment, inside a ruined building deep within the fortress, three enormous creatures are having a secret conversation.
The Golden Lion King lay prone on a huge bluestone slab, its golden mane like a burning flame.
Its eyes were half-closed, and its voice was low and heavy.
"The Rat King of Fortress One and the Wolf King of Fortress Two are both dead."
"Those two idiots." The jade-faced white elephant swung its long trunk and let out a deep elephant moo.
"But they still have considerable strength. The Rat King is at the peak of the fifth rank, and the Wolf King is at the early stage of the sixth rank. How could they possibly die so easily?"
"This must be a conspiracy by the humans. There must be a powerful human expert lurking in the shadows."
The golden-winged roc, its wings folded, still shimmered with a dazzling light in the dim light.
It tilted its head, a hint of seriousness flashing in its golden eyes.
"A few days ago, there was the aura of a sixth-tier peak Heavenly Demon Clan member in Jiangcheng. That aura was very strong, but it disappeared in less than a quarter of an hour."
The Golden Lion King opened its eyes.
"How did they disappear?"
"I don't know." The Golden-Winged Roc shook its head.
"Appeared suddenly, disappeared suddenly. As if he had been killed."
"Killed a peak sixth-tier cultivator?" The long trunk of the jade-faced white elephant tensed abruptly, its voice tinged with fear.
"Humans have come to Jiangcheng with experts of this caliber?"
The three-headed beast king fell silent.
They have been entrenched in the southern mountains for many years, fought countless battles with the human race, and are very familiar with the human race's strength.
The strongest person in Shanhe Prefecture is the Prefecture Lord Zhao Gongming, who is at the mid-stage of the seventh rank.
However, Zhao Gongming was stationed in Shanhe Prefecture and would not easily make a move.
In a small border town like Jiangcheng, having a peak fifth-tier expert in charge is already a great achievement.
A sixth-tier peak Heavenly Demon Clan member should be invincible in Jiangcheng.
And then? The aura disappeared.
They didn't leave, they disappeared.
That kind of intensity of aura couldn't just disappear into thin air.
The only explanation is that he was murdered.
"No matter who that human expert is, he is currently attacking our fortress and stronghold." The Golden Lion King stood up, his muscles tense, and his golden mane stood on end.
"White Tiger Fortress is lost, Fortress No. 4 is lost, and Vermilion Bird Fortress is lost too."
"I've already had all the minions evacuated," said the Jade-Faced White Elephant.
"Instead of being scattered and eaten up one by one, we should concentrate our forces and fight a big battle."
"I also asked the Ancestor for help." The Golden-Winged Roc's voice carried a hint of awe.
When the words "ancestor" are mentioned, its body unconsciously lowers slightly.
The Golden Lion King and the Jade-faced White Elephant looked at it at the same time, their eyes revealing surprise and delight.
"What did the Ancestor say?" the Golden Lion King asked eagerly.
"The ancestor has already summoned three half-step seventh-level beast kings to come and help."
"There are also dozens of fifth-tier beast kings and seven sixth-tier beast kings on their way," the Golden-Winged Roc said, emphasizing each word.
"This time, at Azure Dragon Fortress, we will fight that human to the death."
The Golden Lion King exhaled a long breath, a cold glint flashing in his golden eyes.
"Alright. Let that human expert come then. Once he comes, he won't be able to leave."
……
Ye Feng was very frustrated.
I'm very depressed.
He led three thousand soldiers from Baihu Fortress westward, recapturing the fallen fortresses and strongholds along the way.
The original plan was to reclaim lost territory while simultaneously racking up kill points, achieving the best of both worlds.
The results of it?
What about the mythical beasts?
Fortress No. 3 is empty.
Fortress No. 5 is empty.
The Suzaku Fortress, a large fortress that was originally occupied by tens of thousands of strange beasts, was now empty.
There wasn't even a single strange beast.
Ye Feng stood on the empty walls of the Vermilion Bird Fortress, looking at the beast droppings and remaining bones scattered on the ground, and fell into deep thought.
"Dong Sheng, are you sure the intelligence isn't wrong? There really are strange beasts here?"
Dong Sheng was also very frustrated.
He looked around for a long time and finally found a relatively fresh pile of strange beast droppings in the corner of the wall.
"Yes, but it ran away. Judging from the dryness of the feces, it must have run away this morning."
Ye Feng was speechless.
He opened the system panel and looked at the numbers on it.
487, 300.
We are still 12,700 kill points short of reaching 500,000.
Upgrade the Bloodlust talent from orange to red.
I thought that the battle to recapture the Vermilion Bird Fortress would be enough to raise enough kill points, but now all the beasts have run away, and there's nowhere to farm kill points.
"Could they have all gone to Azure Dragon Fortress?" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Dong Sheng frowned: "That's possible. Those beast kings aren't stupid. They know they can't defeat us if they're scattered, so they're concentrating their forces for a major battle."
"Isn't that perfect?" Ye Feng laughed. "It saves us from running around everywhere; we can kill our fill all at once."
"Aren't you afraid of an ambush?"
"The strongest beast in the southern mountain area is only a sixth-tier beast." Ye Feng's tone was arrogant.
"I've killed sixth-tier beasts before."
Dong Sheng opened his mouth, as if to say that there might be more than one Tier 6 beast this time.
But looking at Ye Feng's confident face, he swallowed his words.
He's right, it's not like we haven't killed sixth-tier beasts before.
A beast king at the half-step sixth rank can be killed with a single strike.
The Wolf King, at the early stage of the sixth rank, was struck by a single blow.
A sixth-tier peak Heavenly Demon Envoy, with a single strike.
What is this guy afraid of, a sixth-tier beast?
"Let's go." Ye Feng jumped down from the city wall. "To Azure Dragon Fortress."
The 3,000-strong force marched majestically toward the Azure Dragon Fortress.
The procession moved quickly because everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come.
There will definitely be battles at Qinglong Fortress. And with battles come military achievements.
Military merits earn you Qi and Blood Fruits and Blood Soul Fruits. Eating just one of those fruits is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation.
No one was afraid.
Because they have Ye Feng.
……
Qinglong Fortress.
Ye Feng stood on a small hill in front of the fortress, overlooking the largest military fortress in the southern mountains.
The fortress walls were higher and thicker than those of the White Tiger Fortress. The city gates were tightly closed, and the sky above the walls was empty, with not a single strange beast in sight.
The fortress was also quiet; no shouts could be heard.
Ye Feng's mental energy spread out, enveloping the entire Azure Dragon Fortress. Surprisingly, he detected no strange beasts.
Ye Feng frowned.
Dong Sheng walked up from behind, looking at the empty city walls of the fortress, also filled with doubt.
"Where are the strange beasts? Did they run away too?"
"I don't know." Ye Feng shook his head. "I scanned the fortress with my mental energy, and there are no beasts inside. Not a single one."
Dong Sheng's expression turned serious.
It wasn't relief, but unease.
It's too quiet, abnormally quiet.
If the beast really escaped, it shouldn't have escaped so completely.
At least some elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people will remain.
But there's nothing here. It looks like something has cleaned it up.
"Withdraw," Ye Feng suddenly said.
Dong Sheng was taken aback: "Withdraw?"
"Retreat! Quickly!"
Ye Feng didn't finish his sentence.
A sudden change occurred.
In the distant mountains and dense forests, countless strange beasts surged out like a tide.
They didn't come from Qinglong Fortress; they came from all directions.
They had been lying in ambush all along, just waiting for them to crawl into this pocket.
Dong Sheng's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his voice trembled.
"More than 100,000 exotic beasts, all of which are at least Tier 2."
"There are over a thousand fourth-tier beast kings. There are dozens of fifth-tier beast emperors. There are even ten sixth-tier beast emperors."
He turned to Ye Feng, his voice already changed.
He was already a powerful expert at the late stage of the fifth rank, so he could naturally sense it.
He couldn't see through those ten strange beasts at all.
Especially the three in the middle.
He felt that it was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Demon Envoy from last time.
"Ten Tier 6 Beast Kings? Jiangcheng doesn't even have a single Tier 6! Where did all these Tier 6 beasts come from in the southern mountains?"
Ye Feng did not answer.
His gaze pierced through the layers of strange beasts and landed on three figures on the distant mountain ridge.
Three dragons.
It was entirely black, with scales as black as ink.
A single, deep blue creature with scales like the sea.
It is entirely green, with scales like jade.
Each one was larger than any other strange beast they had ever seen before.
The aura emanating from each of them was even more terrifying than that of a sixth-tier peak Heavenly Demon Envoy.
Not at the peak of the sixth rank.
It is half a step into the seventh level.
