At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

Xihai City is a small city built in the southern part of the Sunset Islands. It is located on the Luoxia Island, the northernmost of the four southern islands. It is famous for its rich water-based spiritual materials.

At this time, Han Ning, Sage, Holm, and Cangtong transformed into ordinary caravan merchants, sitting on the back of a huge stone-breaking eagle, and saw a vast coastline with a deep blue gloom faintly appearing below.

This trip is very dangerous. After everyone discussed it, they finally brought the second elder Cangtong with them.

On the coastline, a row of huge waves rose from time to time, rushing towards the tide-proof embankment built on the periphery of Luoxia Island, rushing towards everything that blocked it. A huge amount of sea water followed the waves, rushed through the embankment one after another, crashed into the island, and poured into the central Xihai City, turning the northern area of ​​the city into a swamp.

Wherever the sea water was diffused, there were spiritual lights of different colors constantly lighting up. Even if you were in the sky, you could hear the roar of sea beasts and the sound of soul skills breaking through the air.

The sky was gloomy and the rain was pouring.

Bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Countless psychic rays shot out from the temporary fortifications, forming a dense psychic firepower network, pouring firepower madly on the sea beasts that emerged from the sea.

A huge shark with black skin, more than ten meters long, like a giant truck, suddenly rushed out of the sea and crashed directly into a five-story building.

Da Da Da!

In an instant, dozens of blue birds with green feathers and covered in wind psychic energy turned their heads at the same time, opened their mouths slightly, and countless wind blades hit the sharks' backs, bursting out large psychic light spots.

But this shark continued to crash into the house like nothing happened, trying to devour the creatures in the building.

At this moment.

A petite wind elf appeared and disappeared between the clouds.

Whoosh!

The sharp and piercing whistling sound of the energy beam cut through the sky.

Boom~

Accompanied by a thunderous sound, a deep green light bloomed, black blood exploded, and the body of the giant shark was directly blown back and crashed into the water.

A dozen huge stone-splitting eagles, carrying beastmasters disguised as passing merchants, broke through the wind and rain, fell from the sky, and landed on the top floor of a 7-story stone building in the center of Xihai City.

Even in a state of war, the forces of both sides still cannot stop sporadic business activities, not to mention that the Red Mantling Family is not a monolithic entity, which is one of the reasons why Han Ning and others were able to successfully infiltrate in disguise.

The members of the Red Mantling Family need to make a fortune by war, and the people of the Wind Spirit Clan also need external supplies. This is a tacit understanding between the two sides.

There are a total of 25 members of the Stone-Splitting Eagle Caravan who came on this trip. Only two-thirds of them are merchants who actually participate in the front-line trade, and the rest are sporadic witches recruited by the Wind Spirit Clan intelligence officers from various regions.

Han Ning and his four companions jumped off the Stone-Splitting Eagle, followed the leader Ha Suning into the stone building, and listened to the continuous explosions in the distance. Ha Suning first arranged for the real merchants to go to a safe area to rest, and then took the remaining one-third of the Wuling people into a simple hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. When they arrived, dozens of people had already gathered in the hall. Everyone sat down quietly. Not long after, a middle-aged Wuling man in a black robe walked in from the door. He nodded to the more than 50 beastmasters standing below, and said straight to the point: "Thank you all for coming from afar to support me. I am the adjutant of the Marquis, Taier. Due to the urgent situation, I will not say much nonsense. Others will arrange corresponding positions for you later. Let me talk about the current situation first." This Wuling man named Taier was pale, with blue lines on his cheeks and a solemn expression. There were dots of red blood on his robe. It was obvious that he had just returned from the front line and had no time to rest before rushing to the meeting. He took out a long metal pole and pointed to the map of the Sunset Islands projected by the psychic particles behind him. As he moved, he said:

"At present, our Xihai City is at the forefront of the war, facing the sea beast coalition formed by the Red Ray Family and the Wangchao Family. The pressure is extremely great."

"Please all beastmasters above level 3 go to the first line of defense set up in the northeast of Xihai City. There are high-level beastmasters there to assign tasks for you."

Tyle's voice had just fallen.

Seven or eight people in the team below stood up and followed a beastmaster under Tyle to the front line.

Then, Tyer swung the metal pole, pointing to the northern area slightly behind the northeastern part of the psychic map, and said:

"The density of beast tides here is relatively small, but there are occasional sporadic sea beasts that break into the defense line. Please ask all the second-level beast masters to go here to strengthen the defense."

At the same time, Han Ning felt someone patting his shoulder gently, and a low voice came:

"I just heard from the adjutant that the Marquis is commanding the battle at the front line. Follow me."

The person who spoke was intelligence officer Ha Suning, who was also the accompanying guide of Han Ning and others on this trip.

In addition to him, there was a young female witch spirit person who formed a team of 6 people with them.

The 6 people mixed in the vast team of witch spirit people beast masters, walked out of the hall with the other dozen second-level beast masters, and walked to the first floor.

At the door of the stone building, everyone summoned their soul beasts together.

The air vibrated, and in an instant, there were more than a dozen soul beasts of different shapes on the square at the door.

Han Ning sat on the back of the egg pancake disguised as an ordinary Asian dragon, staying with Sage and Holm.

Cangtong was also riding on an ordinary insect-type soul beast, following Danbing closely.

"Everyone, due to the existence of soul beasts that are proficient in psychic interference among the sea beasts, the communication psychic array cannot be used normally. Please use real maps, and contact between teams must also use liaison birds."

Several wizard spirit beast masters wearing blue robes stood in front of the crowd, talking, and handed out waterproof maps to the beast masters who were preparing to go out for battle.

After getting the map, the others stopped talking and ran towards the direction marked on the map.

"I haven't seen this sight in nearly 10,000 years."

Saige was wearing a fiery red robe, with his hands hidden in the sleeves of the robe. He looked at the wizards with resolute expressions, and a look of sadness flashed in his calm eyes.

"Ten thousand years... Who is this person? Could it be a certain saint ancestor of our Witch Spirit Clan?" Hasuning and his two men, each driving a soul beast suspended in front of them, heard Sage's faint sigh and reluctantly... They couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see deep shock in each other's eyes.

They did not question Seg's identity at all, because that adult exuded the most authentic and pure fire element spiritual pressure belonging to the Northern Shaman Spiritual People.

The flame lines appearing on both sides of his cheeks only belong to noble high-level wizards.

…

The sky was gloomy and low, and heavy raindrops kept hitting his face.

Surrounded by rows of stone houses, you can vaguely see the prosperity of the past, but now there is no life. There is no light shining in the windows, everything is dark and ghostly.

Even in the center of Yukai City, which is slightly away from the northern area, the seawater here has spread to a position tens of centimeters above the ground.

Huhuhuhu~

Several majestic goshawks with blue wings flew at low altitude, projecting bright blue light to illuminate the road ahead for them.

Han Ning looked up and saw a young-looking wizard wearing a long robe sitting on the back of the goshawk, nodding kindly to him.

He smiled back.

Holm, who had maintained an indifferent expression all day long, showed a rare kind smile when he saw this.

Saige observed the situation all the way, and suddenly frowned and whispered: "Something's wrong. The situation in Xihai City is a bit beyond my expectations."

Han Ning looked around. The streets were empty. There were only a few of them and the mixed-blood wizards who hurried past on soul beasts from time to time.

It is very simple to distinguish between pure-blood and mixed-blood wizards.

Just look at the elemental lines on their cheeks.

Those with short and messy lines are of mixed blood.

Those with long, narrow and beautiful lines are pure blood.

The eye colors and elemental patterns of high-level wizards are more delicate and beautiful than those of pure-blood wizards.

"Why do you say that?" Han Ning asked seriously, lacking combat experience.

Holm took the initiative to explain:

"The concentration of the wind element is too low. Generally, when the Wuling clan fights, they will convert their occupied area into a pure elemental realm, which is extremely repulsive to foreign elements. However, the content of water element in the air is not low now, and it is extremely violent, which is not suitable for Cang Miao. Ministry’s fighting style.”

"Moreover, the entire city's civilians have been evacuated to Feixia Island, which means that Fenglinghou may be ready to abandon this city or even the entire island!" Holm's solemn voice broke through the biting sea wind, intermittently. passed into Han Ning's ears.

Cang Tong stared at the violent sea shrouded in the distance under dark clouds. An inexplicable power swept over him. He said in a serious tone: "Two adults, and Han Ning, you three must follow me closely, in case anything happens." If you encounter a spirit beast that is far beyond our strength, don’t hesitate to run away as soon as possible, and don’t act like a hero.”

"Um."

Sage and Holm had experienced hundreds of battles, but at this time they were just remnant souls. In addition to their rich experience, their combat effectiveness was almost zero, so they could only nod silently.

The soul beast moves extremely fast. Even if there are sporadic sea beasts blocking it from time to time, it can quickly reach the battlefield area where Feng Linghou is.

The roars of the soul beasts coming from the front were getting louder and louder.

The sea water that filled the streets was also rising.

From being tens of centimeters high when it first started, to now reaching more than 10 meters, it can basically be said that the northern part of Xihai City has completely turned into a marshland in the sea.

Finally, after crossing the corner of a street.

The scene in front of him made Han Ning feel the cruelty and horror of war again.

A few kilometers away from the group of people, a long row of fortifications made of elemental boulders was built as far as the eye could see.

A large number of animal bones, spirit beast corpses, and even house walls that looked like they had been dragged in temporarily were used as fortifications to block the attack of sea beasts, and were piled up dozens of meters high.

The houses behind the fortifications have also been specially raised, far above the sea. On the temporary platforms, there are many beast masters of the Wuling clan standing on them.

Before the fortifications.

The densely packed marine soul beasts, which were dozens of times more numerous than them, charged towards the fortifications like crazy.

There are ferocious sea soul beasts such as the giant black shark, sunflower squid, and poisonous swordfish that Han Ning had seen in Huanhai City.

There were also strange creatures that he had never seen before.

Most of these wild sea beasts are awakened, some are extraordinary, and a few are warrior-level.

It is said to be "less", but actually it is based on the overall proportion of sea soul beasts.

In fact... the number of soul beasts pouring continuously from the depths of Tianmo Sea is almost unlimited.

The relatively small number of warrior-level soul beasts appears to be numerous despite the huge base number.

In addition, they also have some common characteristics. Their eyes are scarlet and their overall skin color is dark, giving people a feeling of bloodthirsty killing.

On the sea level far away, from time to time, there were dark giant shadows rushing out of the sea, and then crashing into the seabed, raising huge waves hundreds of meters high.

Controlled by the Wuling Beastmaster, all the warrior-level soul beasts stood in front of the fortifications, forming a long soul beast wall. Some simply relied on their flesh to fight the sea soul beasts that jumped out of the sea fiercely, while others mobilized their spiritual energy, played soul skills, and swept away large areas of miscellaneous fish.

Even the Wuling people who were proficient in elemental control were not all equipped with elemental soul beasts.

"Fighting in the opponent's home court is completely at a disadvantage..."

Han Ning looked at the overwhelming soul beasts in the distance, shook his head secretly, and followed Ha Suning to a certain elevated building.

The house they entered should be a self-built building by local residents before. After being reinforced by elements, it was about 20 floors and 60 meters high.

At this moment, all the rooms facing the beast tide in the building have been cleared. On each floor from the 5th to the 20th floor, there are beast masters lying on the half-broken wall, holding a ring blade in their hands, constantly emitting various spiritual energy lights to shoot soul beasts.

This is a spiritual energy array weapon commonly used within the Wuling tribe, called the elemental ring blade.

Wuling people are born with the ability to accumulate a large amount of spiritual energy in their bodies. With the help of special elemental ring blades, they can launch various attacks that are not weaker than soul beasts.

But these also have to be awakened under the cover of soul beasts. They are completely glass cannons. Their weak physique means that they cannot really fight soul beasts head-on.

"This kind of elemental ring blade, even for a Wuling with a 2nd level of spiritual power, can only produce a war general-level destructive force at most. In addition, it is not durable and cannot be compared with the soul skills of real soul beasts."

"If... we humans research various thermal weapons on Blue Star, wouldn't it be a good replacement for this battlefield battle mode involving a large number of low-level beastmasters?"

Han Ning watched the battle with flying spiritual energy, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Although thermal weapons are difficult to play a role in battles above the lord level.

But for low-level battlefields, they are very cost-effective. You, a 2nd level Wuling, are grumbling and holding back for a long time, consuming a lot of spiritual energy and mental power, and holding back a spiritual attack is not as good as a few tactical missiles bombing.

You must know that this world is not short of resources. If the production of thermal weapons can really be increased, it will definitely subvert the existing beastmaster war mode.

Han Ning seemed to see a golden road emerging in front of him.
