Chapter 78: A Tide of Small Beasts! Don’t Hesitate! Run!
Chapter 78: A Tide of Small Beasts! Don't Hesitate! Run!
The two teams near Xu Yan were new recruits from the previous batches.
---
They were Pang Fei's team and Lu Meng's team.
---
After a month of training,
these two teams had already developed a fixed combination.
---
Their strength was no longer what it used to be.
---
It wasn't an exaggeration to say they were halfway to being veterans.
---
Confident Yet Shocked
They were confident
that among the remaining teams,
they were the best of the best.
---
But now…
when they saw Xu Yan throwing pebbles
into the densest area of disaster beasts…
---
They panicked.
---
Immediate Escape
They abandoned their ongoing fight
and ran for their lives.
---
They didn't even want the seven poisonous beasts
they had been fighting.
---
To them,
this guy was just stealing monsters!
---
---
The System's Judgment Rules
In this recruit assessment,
the bracelets tracked every fight.
---
Stealing monsters wasn't allowed.
---
If two parties fought over the same disaster beast,
The system would automatically award points
To whoever built hatred first.
---
Normally, grabbing monsters was impossible.
---
But Xu Yan's move was an exception.
---
Since his pebble attack was AOE,
it hit multiple beasts at once
and created instant mass hatred.
---
The system locked Xu Yan
as the primary target of the beasts' aggression.
---
Now, he was stuck in a mass battle.
---
Even if he killed all the beasts,
the points would belong to him.
---
The Smart Move? Run.
Knowing this,
Pang Fei's team and Lu Meng's team
made a wise decision.
---
They abandoned the fight
and got as far away as possible.
---
Fighting was pointless
if all their efforts just benefited someone else.
---
---
A Change in Perspective
At first,
they were annoyed
at Xu Yan's reckless monster-grabbing.
---
But then,
they realized something shocking.
---
The number of beasts he pulled was insane!
---
They were no longer just annoyed.
---
Now, they were in awe.
---
Who was this guy!?
---
A Daredevil Move
Xu Yan had pulled dozens of high-level poisonous disaster beasts
without a shred of hesitation.
---
Even veteran soldiers
wouldn't dare do this!
---
Could this team be part of the top veteran squads?
---
Or even…
a team of instructors?
---
The more they thought about it,
the more likely it seemed.
---
Since this area suddenly had so many poisonous beasts,
maybe the instructors had come to clear them out first.
---
Curiosity Overcomes Fear
Despite retreating,
Pang Fei's and Lu Meng's teams didn't leave completely.
---
Instead,
they stayed to observe.
---
Maybe they could learn some high-level combat skills
from this top-tier team.
---
---
A Devastating Realization
But when they got a clear look at the team…
---
They froze in shock.
---
"Wait… that's not right!"
---
"They're not instructors!"
---
"What the hell!? They look so young!"
---
"Are they still high school students!?"
---
"Are they crazy!?
"They pulled dozens of poisonous beasts at once!
"Are they trying to get themselves killed!?"
---
---
The Signs of Disaster
One recruit gulped.
---
"What now?"
---
"What do you mean 'what now'!?
"We get the hell out of here!"
---
"If this triggers a beast tide, we're dead!"
---
"It's too late! Look!"
---
Far ahead,
more and more beasts
began converging on Xu Yan's team.
---
A small beast tide had been successfully triggered
by one handful of pebbles.
---
"Holy shit! Don't hesitate! RUN!"
---
---
A Sea of Poisonous Attacks
By now,
dozens—no, hundreds—of poisonous beasts
had rushed up the hillside.
---
They were charging directly at Xu Yan's team.
---
The beast tide hadn't even fully arrived yet,
but the sky was already filled
with poison-based long-range attacks.
---
Green energy beams.
Toxic acid sprays.
Dark curse bolts.
---
A deadly rain of poison
came pouring down like a siege attack.
---
---
Wu Dayong's Team Arrives… And Panics
When Wu Dayong's team finally caught up,
they were met with absolute horror.
---
They had thought Xu Yan's team
was only facing three or four beasts.
---
They had hoped to save a few of them.
---
But now…
It wasn't just three or four.
---
It was DOZENS.
---
No… hundreds.
---
This was…
---
A TIDE OF SMALL BEASTS!
---
---
The Only Option
Wu Dayong's legs trembled.
---
Everyone in his team turned pale.
---
They didn't know why it had escalated to this,
but they knew one thing for certain.
---
"If you encounter a beast tide… you RUN."
---
There was no saving Xu Yan's team now.
---
They had to save themselves.
---
Wu Dayong's Final Decision
He didn't hesitate.
---
He shouted immediately:
---
"A beast tide is coming!"
"Xu Yan's team is DONE FOR!"
"EVERYONE, ESCAPE IMMEDIATELY!"
---
"DON'T HESITATE!"
---
---
Meanwhile, Xu Yan's Team…
They each ate a Tree World Fruit.
---
A white light curtain appeared around them.
---
It wasn't a shield—
it was a buff.
---
The incoming poison attacks
crashed against it…
---
And did nothing.
---
Zero damage.
Zero HP loss.
Massive healing from immunity.
---
A swarm of green health symbols
flooded the air above them.
---
The Feeling of Immortality
For the first time,
Xu Yan's team felt truly invincible.
---
"We can't die."
---
"No matter how much we get hit—
"We'll always be full HP!"
---
"This is immortality!"
---
Xu Yan grinned.
---
He stepped forward toward the beast tide.
---
"Wood Release! Tree World Descends!"
---
Vines exploded from the ground,
ensnaring the incoming disaster beasts.
---
Then,
he activated his second skill.
---
"Tree World Blooms!"
---
The magic-based disaster beasts lost all ability to fight.
---
And Xu Yan gripped his black scythe.
---
He charged in, grinning like a god of death.
---
---
Meanwhile…
The three escaping teams stopped running.
---
They turned around just in time
to see a massive explosion of thunder and lightning.
---
Their jaws dropped.
---
They Were Petrified.
---
End of Chapter.
