Chapter 370: The Truth of the Beast Tide

Normally, Nalan Lengling was the second-best disciple among the inner sect disciples. Who wouldn’t respectfully call her senior sister when they saw her?

Even among the disciples, there were only a handful who dared to look her in the eye.

Therefore, when had Nalan Lengling ever heard anyone tease her like this?

If not for Victor’s performance in the beast tide and his unknown injuries, Nalan Lengling would have raised her flying sword and shot Victor.

“Wang Cheng, your current condition is unclear. I think we should give up on this talisman edict and bring you back for a check-up.”

“There’s no need for that.”

“The side effects of the Blood Burning Pill are irreversible. If we don’t find out as soon as possible, you’ll become a cripple!”

“Don’t worry, senior sister. I know my body very well. There’s no problem with me. Besides, aren’t you curious why the beast tide happened in early autumn?”

“Logically speaking, the beast tide would only occur in late autumn and early spring. But now, it happened two months earlier. There must be a reason.”

“It is indeed abnormal, but what does it mean?”

“Senior sister, come and take a look.”

Victor said as he pulled Nalan Lengling’s sleeve.

Nalan Lengling wanted to scold Victor, but seeing how serious he was, she could only give up and patiently listen to him.

“Senior sister, look. This demonic beast is called the Gold Python, and this is called the Iron Claw Eagle. Logically speaking, when both of these demonic beasts meet, they will be attracted to each other’s scent and start killing until one of them is dead. But now, they actually formed a beast tide together. This is impossible.”

“Could it be that some beast king level demonic beast is urging them to do this?”

“That’s not possible. A beast king’s territorial awareness is extremely strong. If we accidentally step into its territory, the other party wouldn’t use such a long-winded method at all. Wouldn’t it be easier for them to come over and personally tear us into pieces?”

“To be able to create such a situation, it’s not something a mere beast king can do.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s either man-made or a mountain treasure has been born.”

Victor’s tone was very firm, as if his thoughts were unshakeable.

“You seem to know a lot about these demonic beasts?”

“I’ve just seen too many. When I was at Mount Daba, the beast tide was always in front of the village. Oh right, a villager of ours was a spiritual pedestal realm cultivator, so he’ll be the one to deal with the beast tide.”

“Ultimately, Mount Daba is just a small mountain, and spiritual pedestal realm cultivators are sufficient to deal with it.

“That was also the period of time where I’ve seen many demonic beasts. Of course, I’ve also eaten many demonic beasts.”

Victor smiled foolishly and scratched his head, revealing a pure smile.

Seeing this scene, Nalan Lengling’s face turned slightly red. She nodded and did not say anything else.

“Leng Wuqing! Leng Wuyou! You idiots! Hurry up and work!”

“Work?”

Hearing this, they were a little confused.

“Are you stupid? The corpses on the ground are all spirit stones! If you don’t want them, I won’t hold back!”

That was right. Although the demonic beasts present were mostly middle-rank and low-rank demonic beasts, with such a terrifying amount, the value of beast cores was also very considerable!

“Should we…do this?”

“There’s nothing bad about it. Apart from the Three-headed Demonic Panther’s beast cores that need to be handed in, we can take the rest. The sect will use spirit stones to buy them.”

Everyone took out their weapons and lowered to the ground as they took out their beast cores.

Although they did not lack spirit stones for cultivation, who did not like having more?

Even Nalan Xinxin borrowed Nalan Lengling’s sword and got down on the ground to smash the beast cores, not to mention Lin Yiya and Lin Zihui, who were already a little short on money?

The only one who was unmoved was Lian Hua. After all, she knew that Victor was very wealthy, with more than four million spiritual stones and a lot of treasures. Even Nalan Lengling might not be as rich as Victor, there was no need for her to do so.

However, she still dug a few out symbolically, and it was Victor who forced her to do so.

Not long after, the corpses on the ground were counted. There were 1,400 low-level demon beasts and 600 mid-level demon beasts. There were 2,000 exactly.

Including the escaped demon beasts, there were around 3,000.

“No, the numbers don’t match. How can there be exactly 3,000 of them?”

“Could it be a coincidence?”

“That might not be too much of a coincidence, right?”

Victor frowned and looked in the direction of the beast tide. After thinking for a long time, he said, “Senior sister, I suggest that we go to the direction of the beast tide to take a look.”

“Your proposal is rejected. That’s not the direction we want to go. Moreover, completing the talisman edict as soon as possible is our goal. We can’t cause too much trouble.”

“Senior sister, are you worried about our abilities?”

“That’s the truth.”

“That’s true. But what if it’s a mountain treasure?”

“You said it yourself. What if it’s a mountain treasure? We can’t risk everything for such a slim chance.”

“Besides, even if it’s a mountain treasure, it might not be something we can get our hands on. There are countless bandits in the Hundred Thousand Mountain, and they’ve had countless experiences. It’s very likely that someone else will get there first.”

“That’s why we should speed up, right?”

“Wang Cheng!”

Nalan Lengling frowned as she looked at Victor who refused to change his ways. Her tone became colder.

“I’m the senior sister, I’m in charge!”

“But Lin Yiya is the leader of this operation. If she says we should go, we should go.”

“Ah… this…”

The question was suddenly directed at her, which made Lin Yiya freeze on the spot. She did not know what to do.

“Wang Cheng… Why don’t we listen to our senior sister? It’s too dangerous, won’t we just be throwing our lives away?”

“Did you hear that? Continue with the talisman edict.”

Nalan Lengling nodded, very satisfied with Lin Yiya’s understanding of the situation. On the other hand, Victor pursed his lips and sneaked a glance at Lin Yiya. The latter immediately shrunk her neck, unwilling to look Victor in the eye.

“Alright, if that’s the case, let’s wait until dawn. I’m hungry after all this.”

Victor said as he cut off the earth-shattering bear’s paw, the beef brisket of the bull, and the tiger whip of the white-forehead tiger. He went to the river happily, cleaned himself, lit a bonfire, and sat on the ground to roast.

Seeing this scene, everyone could not help but swallow their saliva.

Such a large piece of beef leg had been cleanly eaten, but to be honest, they were not full yet. Even Nalan Lengling, who was usually separated from the mortal world, was not satisfied. She could not say what she wanted to and everyone sat around the bonfire in tacit understanding, waiting for the delicious food.

“Senior sister, come, have a taste of the bear’s paw!”

“The bear’s paw is suitable for simmering. It’s really exceptional for you to roast it to such a level.”

Nalan Lengling ate the bear paw while praising Victor’s cooking.

The huge bear paw was quickly eaten up. Victor had no choice but to pick up the tiger whip and proceeded to eat it delightfully.
