Tang Hao nodded and said: "This soul skill of yours can indeed control Titled Douluo for a moment, but when you encounter a strong person who is three realms stronger than you, that is, the Soul Saint level and above, don't use your fourth soul skill. Up close, they can use coercion to cause damage to you, and the risk of stacking marks is much higher than the benefit.”
Tang Yin also knew the shortcomings of his soul skill, but he didn't know whether Gale Wind Dragon could make up for this shortcoming after completely absorbing the wind element crystal.
"I understand, Dad. I'll pay attention to it in the future."
The three of them left the canyon and walked towards the camp.
Chapter 34 Beast Tide
At this time, there was no strong wind in the canyon, but it was a little dark. It didn't take long to get out of the canyon.
Arriving at the outer forest, it was mid-morning, and the forest that was supposed to be noisy was extremely quiet at the moment. Even Tang Yin, who had the weakest sense of perception, noticed something was wrong.
At this time, Tang Hao immediately made a judgment and said urgently: "No, it's a tide of beasts."
There are many reasons for the beast tide. The most common ones are the aura generated by the duel between top experts or the battle between hundred thousand year soul beasts, which disturbs the surrounding soul beasts. The surrounding soul beasts flee, and then spread outward level by level, like a fright. A roaring wave swept across the entire forest.
Don't think that tens of thousands of soul beasts running on the ground can be called a beast tide. The truly terrifying beast tide is that in addition to the beasts everywhere, there will even be a spectacle of the entire forest moving together. Flying soul beasts cover up the sky and almost cover the entire sky.
When such a beast tide occurs, human civilization will be almost completely destroyed. According to the Douluo calendar, more than two thousand years ago, the Douluo Empire, which almost unified the entire Douluo Continent, was destroyed by such a beast tide. middle. All the soul beast gathering places rioted together, the Star Forest, the Sunset Forest, the Mingdou Mountains... all the soul beasts invaded human cities together. The Empire State Building collapsed in this catastrophe, and human civilization was almost wiped out.
At that time, in addition to the soul beasts wreaking havoc, the fallen also came out to make trouble. A generation of genius, the future angel god was born, united multiple families to put down this disaster, established the Wuhun Palace, absorbed the mainland's faith, broke through the hundred level, and ascended, marking the first year of the Douluo Calendar.
People today can only imagine the disaster scene from the few words recorded.
The beast tide that Tang Yin and the others encountered did not reach this level, but Tang Hao had to deal with even the smallest beast tide.
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he jumped to the highest point with Tang Yin. Yang Wudi was not slow to react and followed quickly behind him.
Sure enough, commotion began to come from the forest in the distance.
Under the sun, at the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, a black line suddenly appeared. It was the dust formed by the hooves of beasts trampling the earth under the galloping beasts.
The black line on the skyline is moving quickly diagonally towards Tang Yin and the others. In other words, they will not face the impact of the beast tide directly. At most, they will be attacked by some of the aftermath of the beast tide.
"Looking at the direction of movement, it doesn't seem to be coming towards us." Yang Wudi observed for a long time and expressed his judgment.
"Yeah." Tang Hao confirmed Yang Wudi's judgment, "Their past location seems to be the direction where we camped before."
When Tang Yin heard about the place where he had camped before, he immediately thought of the Zhu sisters.
At this time, Tang Yin had no other thoughts about them. He could only think of them because they appeared in front of Tang Yin quite frequently in the past few days. Tang Yin has not come into contact with many people, and everyone who has come into contact remembers it very clearly. Even his uncle and grandfather Tang Yin, who he has only met once, can think of the wind element crystal as being beneficial to his practice.
He could also see from Tang Hao and Yang Wudi's frowning brows that they were afraid of this beast tide. How could they protect them with only one Contra, let alone the two of them.
Worried, Tang Yin looked at the beast tide in the distance. The original black line gradually spread out, like a slope sweeping across. Under the majestic power, Tang Yin felt as small as an ant.
Over at the camp, Elder Xuanji, who had been waiting for a long time, also noticed something was wrong.
What he was waiting for was the iron eagle raised in captivity by the Star Luo Empire. The iron eagle had been domesticated for generations at the Royal Animal Taming Field of the Star Luo Empire. Although it retained some of the wildness of the soul beast, the whistle for issuing orders had been engraved in its bones.
Now the whistle has been blown for a long time, but the iron eagle-headed bird has never been seen coming with the eagles. If this happens, something must have happened.
Elder Xuanji felt increasingly uneasy, as if something big was about to happen, so he ordered: "Everyone, follow me and evacuate quickly. Don't leave anything behind."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then left in the direction they came from, regardless of what happened.
The entire team of forty-nine people are all soul masters. According to theory, the moving speed is not slow. Elder Xuanji, who has walked more than thirty miles, finds that the uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger.
There was a slight earthquake. It was so small that no one except Elder Xuanji noticed it.
Elder Xuanji was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he was doing, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Run quickly, it's a tide of beasts!!!"
After saying that, he didn't care about anything else and summoned his Xuanji Umbrella martial spirit, directly protecting the three princes and the future imperial concubine in it, and then quickly fled into the distance.
Everyone didn't react at first, but the sudden and increasingly intense vibration made everyone come to their senses, and they only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs.
Although Elder Xuanji was aware of it in advance, the speed of the beast tide was too fast. He was not a Soul Douluo known for his speed, let alone the others, not to mention the only Soul Emperor with the ability to fly. The lady was not much faster. Soon, the team of forty-nine people was gradually overtaken by the beast tide, and then was swallowed up in an instant.
"Ah!" The youngest son of Blood Sword Marquis became the first person to die in the tide of beasts. He was trampled by a golden mammoth with ten thousand years of cultivation. His whole body became a pile of meat. The family sent him to protect him. His Soul Emperor had no time to take action. At the same time that the youngest son of the Blood Sword Marquis let out a scream before his death, he was also surrounded by several thousand-year-old soul beasts. Even if he had used his own defensive soul skills, he was still surrounded by them. Under this level of impact, it didn't last long before it turned into flesh and blood under its hooves.
Tragedies continued to unfold among the crowd, but some lucky ones were protected by a towering tree, preventing them from being trampled by all the beasts.
Elder Xuanji used his martial soul to protect the six people. He chose to fly at low altitude and was suffering the impact of thousands of soul beasts.
Every impact would consume his soul power. Although it was not large, he didn't know if he could hold on until the moment when the beast tide stopped.
At this time, the three pairs of competitors no longer had any thoughts of life and death. Such a terrifying scene made them truly feel what death is.
They saw their companions who could still talk to each other just yesterday being crushed into pieces by soul beasts. Faced with life and death, everyone had their own feelings.
What Davis and Dai Yulin were thinking was, I want to survive, and if I don't want to end up like this, I'll kill the other person.
But what Dai Mubai was thinking was, it's too terrible, I don't want to die, I have to escape, I have to escape.
Zhu Zhumin was the same as Dai Yulin. If she wanted to live, she had to kill the woman's two daughters.
Zhu Zhuyun was still sentimental, and Zhu Zhuqing felt deeply frightened, but at this time she could not find any support...
All sentient beings.
The scale of the beast tide was quite average. When Elder Xuanji exhausted his last bit of soul power, the beast tide was already coming to an end.
The soul beasts, which were no more than a thousand years old, no longer posed much of a threat, and their number and density had also dropped significantly. Elder Xuanji, who was exhausted, lifted the protection of the six people. He said weakly: "Everyone, protect yourselves. I am exhausted. , I can’t protect you anymore.”
After saying that, he fell headlong into the tide of beasts and was crushed to pieces.
Although Elder Xuanji was a servant of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire and died trying to protect the princes, his death did not move even one of the princes.
One prince only wanted to escape, but in the hearts of the other two princes, Elder Xuanji was just a servant, and he would be dead if he died, even if he was an eighty-fifth level Contra.
The respect for him is only for his level 85 strength, not for him as a person.
Six people fell from the sky, each looking for their own landing point.
Dai Yulin and Davis landed on the same tree, Zhu Zhumin and Zhu Zhuyun landed on the branches of two adjacent trees, and Dai Mubai also landed smoothly.
But when Zhu Zhuqing arrived, something unexpected happened.

Chapter 35 Attack
The altitude that Elder Xuanji flies is not very high, but it is still forty meters above the ground. The density of soul beasts in this area is the smallest. In addition, he is constantly moving laterally towards the edge of the beast tide. This is why he can protect six people at the same time. The reason why he can still hold on until the end of the beast tide.
During the shock that lasted for half an hour, Zhu Zhuqing, who had the weakest psychological endurance, almost collapsed mentally. Now she is far from the girl in the original work who was chased by her sister and felt as cold as a piece of ice in her heart.
After Elder Xuanji released the protection state, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to control her body to land on the tree, but at this time she failed to land on the branch accurately even though she tried her best. Her right foot accidentally stepped on the air while falling, and her whole body Fall towards the tree.
There were still soul beasts running past on the ground at this time. As long as Zhu Zhuqing, who only had level 21 soul power, landed on the ground, she would definitely die.
Her strong desire to survive made her summon her martial spirit at the last moment. The ghost civet's front paws quickly reached out and grabbed the trunk of the tree nearest to her. The claws left ten long scratches on the rough bark. Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was not heavy at this time, and there was still a long distance from the ground.
The weakness in her body had not completely dissipated. Zhu Zhuqing raised her face and turned her gaze to Dai Mubai, who was nearest to her.
Zhu Zhuyun saw this scene from the side and was worried about Zhu Zhuqing's safety. She leaned down and checked Zhu Zhuqing's condition with worried eyes. She was relieved when she found that nothing happened to her.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Zhuyun gently stroked his plump chest with his hand, feeling relieved for himself.
Dai Mubai didn't look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was looking at him expectantly under the tree. He seemed to have made some kind of determination, turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.
Dai Mubai, who was possessed by the white tiger, moved around among the trees and soon disappeared into the forest.
The last light in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also went out.
Zhu Zhuyun was shocked at first by Dai Mubai's actions, and then became angry. Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée, and this was just a trivial matter that could be done with just reaching out.
"Asshole." Zhu Zhuyun cursed secretly and prepared to rescue Zhu Zhuqing.
Davis and Dai Yulin were wary of each other and didn't care about Zhu Zhuqing's life or death. Dai Mubai's escape did not attract much attention from them. His escape was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Zhu Zhuyun, who was concerned about Zhu Zhuqing's safety, had not noticed that her half-sister was already standing behind her.
Zhu Zhumin has entered the state of martial soul possession. Two yellow and one purple soul rings rise under his feet, and the first yellow soul ring among them also lights up quietly.
"The first soul skill, Netherworld Thrust."
Zhu Zhumin, who was close to Zhu Zhuyun, suddenly became angry. The Nether Civet Cat's sharp claws suddenly grew in size, and it quickly flew behind Zhu Zhuyun. Three purple afterimages passed by, making a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
Zhu Zhuyun's whole body froze with chills, and he felt a strong sense of crisis. This was the civet's unique crisis sensing ability. This sense of crisis made Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously duck to the side.
This was also in Zhu Zhumin's calculations. As the owner of the Nether Civet's martial spirit, how could she not know that the Nether Civet had this ability to sense crises. The sharp claw she extended happened to be a little off, coinciding with the position where Zhu Zhuyun dodged.
"Stab~" The sharp claws cut through Zhu Zhuyun's outermost black leather jacket and penetrated into the smooth and delicate skin of Zhu Zhuyun's back. Three blood marks that penetrated deeply into the flesh appeared on Zhu Zhuyun's body. The severe pain made her groan. , his expression became extremely painful.
But Zhu Zhumin underestimated Zhu Zhuyun's speed. This unexpected nether thrust only seriously injured Zhu Zhuyun. Zhu Zhumin's sharp claws did not pierce Zhu Zhuyun's heart, achieving a fatal blow.
When Zhu Zhumin attacked Zhu Zhuyun, Davis and Dai Yulin also took action at the same time. Even though they were not completely out of danger at this time, they knew that now was the perfect time to kill each other.
In the beast tide, even the strong ones at the Contra level have fallen, and no one can question the death of the opponent above the beast tide.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" The third purple soul ring under the feet of Davis and Dai Yulin lit up at the same time. The muscles on their bodies expanded violently, and black horizontal stripes grew on their bodies. All their attributes were under the blessing of the soul rings. Directly doubled the strength.
"Roar!!!" Four huge tiger palms collided together, roaring at each other like the king of beasts.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting hand-to-hand on the narrow tree trunk. Occasionally, an effective attack with a palm could take away a piece of flesh and blood from the opponent's body.
The battle between the two was very tense, but Davis, who had the lead in soul power, was gradually gaining the upper hand.
Zhu Zhumin did not make a fatal attack, and immediately chose to maximize his benefits. He raised his foot horizontally and attacked Zhu Zhuyun in the chest.
Zhu Zhuyun had just turned around when she was met with a whip-like kick. She hastily put her claws in front of her chest to prevent the kick from breaking her ribs.
While retreating quickly with the help of strength, he also used the Netherworld Hundred Claws, and after stabilizing his body, he took the initiative to quickly approach Zhu Zhumin.
She was careless and forgot that the family succession battle had begun. Her half-sister, who was not close to her, took action against her, but she did not take any precautions.
The severe pain from the wound on her back at this time made her move much slower, even slower than her sister. The wound continued to overflow with blood, making her body feel heavier.
Zhu Zhumin will not miss such an opportunity. If Zhu Zhuyun chooses to escape, he can delay him for a while. After Davis defeats Dai Yulin, Zhu Zhumin will definitely lose.
But Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously ignored Davis's existence, which also led her to make wrong choices.
The third soul ring under Zhu Zhumin also lit up.
"The third soul skill, Netherworld Revolving."
This is the only soul skill provided by Zhu Zhumin's purple soul ring. It can make his body spin quickly, forming a circular purple storm.
Zhu Zhuyun, who was seriously injured, was knocked back by Zhu Zhumin again. She lost too much blood and could no longer maintain her balance and fell towards the tree. What's worse is that a giant armored rhinoceros is rushing in her direction. If nothing goes wrong, she will end up like Elder Xuanji under the trampling of this giant beast.
When Zhu Zhumin saw that he had succeeded, he immediately jumped in the direction of Dai Yulin to support his fiancé.
Zhu Zhuqing saw his two sisters suddenly fighting. His eldest sister was defeated and was about to become the first victim in this inheritance game.
