Drip, drip, drop~
Large raindrops pattered down, gradually wetting the black stone slabs.
Mu Yuan stood atop the city wall, facing the chilling wind teeming with murderous intent. The wind carried the raindrops, which lashed against his face.
In the distant mountains and forests, clouds of dust rose, and one could vaguely see monsters with ferocious visages charging forward. At the edge of the horizon, under thick clouds, myriad winged beasts fluttered their wings, forming another layer of dark clouds.
The rain became more intense, its sound intermingling with thunder and the thundering noise of monsters galloping, like the prelude to a battle—grim and daunting.
The momentum of the monsters’ charge slowed; they were not like their kin during the Red Fog Disaster Moon, mindlessly surging wave after wave.
They were being controlled.
The hidden manipulators were the legends of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
The Fang of the Jackal Wolf was waiting, waiting for all the Monster Tides to converge before pressing forward en masse.
This was sharply different from the Red Fog Disaster Moon.
During the Red Fog Disaster Moon, the Tianyuan Territory had eradicated an enormous number of monsters, but that was the result of over a month’s worth of battle. If one were to measure by a mere defense battle, the tide they faced now far surpassed that of the Red Fog Disaster Moon period.
It was as if several waves, a dozen waves of Monster Tides, had converged into one, bringing a short-term pressure multiple times greater!
Moreover, within this wave, there lurked High-order Monsters far surpassing those of the Red Fog Disaster Moon period.
Mu Yuan opened the Eye of Heaven and surveyed from above; red dots representing monsters first appeared at the northern end of the observation area, then spread outwards bit by bit, like a spreading tide of red water.
They bypassed the center’s Wolf Head Mountain, squeezing from both sides.
Time slowly elapsed, and the grim atmosphere permeating heaven and earth grew thicker, the air becoming viscous and heavy, making it hard for people to breathe.
The rain continued to fall, silently quelling everything.
In the sky, a bird had hidden its form so well that even raindrops falling on it could not reveal its contours, watching over the earth with its sharp eyes.
Through its gaze, the sky, the land, and the rivers were all swirling with groups upon groups, waves upon waves of monsters.
The forests were occupied by them;
The mountains were occupied by them;
The plains teemed with countless figures.
Its eyes skimmed over mountains and land, stretching to the horizon, which was not the end of the black tide.
The same scene unfolded in the eyes of an Elf with pointed ears. Crouching on a thick tree branch, her clothing of dark green armor was already soaked, with rainwater flowing down her collarbone.
As a top intelligence agent of the Vitality Force called ‘Natural Garden,’ Taeli had never seen such a grand spectacle before.
She gazed in awe, her mouth slightly open, her throat moving silently for a long while.
“… Goodness gracious!”
Even with a not insignificant level of education, at that moment, she did not know what words to use to express her feelings.
Not far from her, there towered a Giant more than twenty meters tall. The Giant stood there with a very faint presence, resembling nothing more than an ordinary rock.
The Giant hailed from the Vitality Force called ‘Giant Stone Ridge’.
In the past hundred or so years, ‘Giant Stone Ridge’ and ‘Natural Garden’ had formed an alliance to jointly combat the colossus that was the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
To say they were combating it was to somewhat exaggerate; they engaged in some material trades, intelligence exchanges, and while hiding their presence and avoiding the hunts of the Monster Overlords like the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, they sneaked around exploring, scavenging marginal resources, and quietly Accumulating Power.
Yet, just escaping the hunting of a Monster Overlord like the Jackal Man was difficult enough, let alone Accumulating Power.
There were times when their overall strength regressed instead of advancing.
The Giant too was silent for a long while before he spoke through the Elf’s telepathic link, “Our Giant Stone Ridge had also thought about stepping into the outside world, taking over a rich treasure of a place, but…”
One might take over the land, but surviving to keep it was another matter!
He said in his deep, resonant voice, “However, which Vitality Force occupying Wolf Head Mountain is in possession now?”
Vitality Forces could only struggle to stay alive under the oppression of the Overlords, but many were still tenacious.
Most of the forces had a long heritage, living in seclusion and avoiding the world—even Giant Stone Ridge and Natural Garden could not be sure how many surviving forces existed in this area.
However, the stronger surviving forces would often step into the outside world to search for resources and seek opportunities; only the weaker ones were forced to live completely secluded lives.
And in this area, they, Giant Stone Ridge and Natural Garden, were among the rare few Vitality Forces capable of contending with Monster Overlords.
“Could it be Dragon Man Valley? I remember that Dragon Man Valley’s overall strength was a notch higher than ours at Giant Stone Ridge. They were devising some secret weapon a few decades ago. If Dragon Man Valley has made a major breakthrough in strength, considering how proud those Dragon Men are, it wouldn’t surprise me if they decided to openly oppose the Fang of the Jackal Wolf,”
the Giant mused.
“No,” Elf Taeli shook her head, “Dragon Man Valley was destroyed twenty-one years ago. Proud as they were, they attempted to confront both the Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase at once, and were quashed before they even caused a ripple.”
The Giant was taken aback.
After all, Giant Stone Ridge was also in a ‘semi-isolated state,’ and the Giants were not good at scouting, so they were even unaware of the fall of Dragon Man Valley.
Perhaps Dragon Man Valley was overrun too swiftly for the news to spread.
“Could it be Featherman Nation? They also are a formidable force, but they seem to have rarely ventured into the outer world in recent years.”
