Chapter 408: 223
Logan said solemnly. Yesterday was just the wrath of ordinary demonic beasts. Afterwards, Throne Demonic Beasts would emerge. The more creatures are slaughtered in these three days, the more it would go against the entire mountain range, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Ba Ke Yun furrowed his brows, starting to understand. “Before, the millions of demonic beasts in the mountains were disorganized. But because of our slaughter of tens of thousands, the millions of demonic beasts would unite. To avoid destroying the entire habitat, we outsiders would definitely be eliminated.”
“That’s not all. This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles. Apart from the Throne Demonic Beasts, there are also some hidden Sovereigns who never come out. If the causal effect is too great, the Sovereign Demonic Beasts will take action on behalf of ordinary beasts and seek revenge.”
Logan’s eyes were deep and heavy, “Once it reaches that point, not a single one of the tens of thousands of people will be able to escape. Even if the nearby lords bring all their forces, they won’t dare to fight against millions of demonic beasts.”
“So we must prepare in advance, set up a defensive array, and try our best to avoid this catastrophe. The defensive array set up with tens of thousands of Spirit Stones can only accommodate a dozen people, not more.”
If the array is set up too large, the spiritual energy will naturally be diluted, reducing the strength of the array significantly. So Logan didn’t plan to save everyone, just to ensure his own and the others’ safety.
Ba Ke Yun sighed, then nodded, “It’s enough, the ten thousand people aren’t worth saving anyway. But there’s one thing I don’t get. The Holy See’s strongmen have predicted the future, all of this should have been in their calculations. Why did they set up this test and really want to sacrifice ten thousand people?”
“I don’t know, but there must be a big story behind it. The other party is not simple, and no one can know their purpose. But it’s certain that it’s not about selecting disciples for the Holy See, but rather using everyone to do something for them.”
Logan sighed and didn’t think about it anymore. The top priority was to set up the defensive array. He had only one day. If it came to tomorrow, it would be too late. In addition to ten thousand Spirit Stones, they also needed ten divine weapons as a medium for setting up the defensive array.
Logan and Ba Ke Yun didn’t lack divine weapons. They had obtained many from Kuang Quan Sect before, and now they came in handy. The more divine weapons were used, the stronger the array. Logan took out a hundred divine weapons at once, just in case the defensive array couldn’t withstand the demonic beasts.
Logan made the worst-case plan. If a Sovereign demonic beast appeared, the defensive array could easily block it. But if there were two or more, the array with ten divine weapons as a medium wouldn’t hold. A hundred divine weapons would greatly enhance the defense and withstand ten Sovereign demonic beasts.
On one side, Ba Ke Yun was idle, asking, “Do you need my help? It’s boring to let you set up the array alone. I feel uneasy standing by like I have nothing to do. I’m supposed to be your guard, but it feels like our roles are reversed.”
“You keep watch and make sure no one notices. If someone gets too close, don’t hesitate to use force. In any case, before the defensive array is complete, we can’t afford any mistakes, understand?”
Logan looked at Ba Ke Yun and instructed him word by word. He would devote himself to setting up the array for the whole day and couldn’t look after other things, so he had to leave it all to Ba Ke Yun.
Ba Ke Yun nodded, then used the Throne Realm’s divine power to observe the surroundings. However, this was the entrance to the mountain range, and ordinary beasts wouldn’t come here. With tens of thousands of people trying to complete the test by killing beasts, no one came here.
At this time, in the mountain range, after a series of killings yesterday, more than half of the people had completed the task, but none of the Throne Realm had. Because they didn’t dare to leave the Mythical Realm. Once they left, they would surely be ambushed. But how could they kill beasts without leaving?
With today’s arrival, most of the Transcendent Tier had already passed, so they were fully committed to attacking the Throne Realm, looking for opportunities to ambush. If they could kill a Mythical Realm, there would be one less competitor.
Over a hundred Throne Realm practitioners united and confronted the Transcendent Tier Alliance: “I say, can you stop staring? If we fail this trial, will it do you any good? If you offend all of us at once, get ready for revenge when we get out of here. A small Transcendent Tier dares to be so arrogant, thinking that with their numbers they can simply push through?”
“You are Throne Realm. If it were ordinary times, we wouldn’t dare to offend you. Even if we met, we would have to take a detour. But in this situation, don’t be angry. It’s not necessary. If you want to fight, we are always ready. The seven or eight thousand of us are not here to be slaughtered, and it’s still unclear who will win in the end.”
The Transcendent Tier were neither humble nor arrogant. Instead, they seemed playful, not taking the threats of the Throne Realm seriously. After all, there were seven or eight thousand of them, and even if the Throne Realm fought for three days in a row, they could only kill about one-tenth of their number, and by then the time to pass the trial would have already passed.
The hundred or so members of the Throne Realm couldn’t help but admit that they didn’t dare to fight the others. Although the seven or eight thousand people weren’t very strong, their sheer numbers could start a war of attrition. Moreover, many of them were young masters of Great Clans, secretly hiding many Throne Realm guards.
Among the Throne Realm practitioners, someone had a bright idea and suddenly stood up, “Perhaps, we could cooperate. We, a hundred Throne Realm practitioners, may not be able to complete the test, but we can all survive. But can you, the seven or eight thousand Transcendent Tier, do the same? Over a thousand people died last night.”
“The demonic beasts are already angry, and their strength will increase tenfold at night. So don’t be too proud during the day. When the night comes, everything will be reversed. Can you handle the revenge of millions of demonic beasts? I think after three days, there won’t even be one-tenth of the original seven or eight thousand of you left.”
With this person’s words, the faces of the thousands in the Transcendent Tier darkened, realizing the truth behind it. They might not fear those hundred or so Throne Realm practitioners, but the millions of demonic beasts were terrifying indeed.
