Chapter 79: Stop Talking, Maybe There Is Still Hope?
Chapter 79: Stop Talking, Maybe There Is Still Hope?
A thunderbolt made all three teams that had fled together turn around.
---
And the scene before them stopped them dead in their tracks.
---
A Wall of Trees
On the hillside,
four massive tree barriers, each with a diameter of over 100 meters,
had formed a straight-line defense.
---
Every disaster beast that charged into the Tree World,
regardless of level or poison,
was completely immobilized by vines.
---
They couldn't move an inch.
---
The beasts in the back roared excitedly.
The beasts in the front wailed helplessly.
---
The disaster beasts at the back
kept pushing the ones in front,
forcing them into the trap.
---
Like pigs being herded into a pen,
the entire beast tide poured into the strange forest.
---
And then…
---
Thunder Strikes
One terrifying lightning bolt after another
came crashing down!
---
The beasts trapped in the woods
were being ruthlessly shredded by the thunder!
---
Every strike of lightning dealt massive damage!
---
Wu Dayong stood frozen.
---
"Xu Yan and Wang Ke…
"Are really only Level 12!?"
---
---
A Futile Resistance
Inside the Tree World,
many poisonous beasts attempted long-range attacks.
---
They fought desperately.
---
But their attacks had no effect
on Xu Yan's team!
---
The thin, cicada-wing-like light curtain blocked every attack.
Some non-poisonous attacks got through,
but the healing overflowed so much that no HP was lost.
---
---
Everyone Was Stunned
"Holy shit! What the hell is this!?"
---
"Am I seeing things!?"
---
"Wait… aren't they being attacked?
"Why aren't they losing any HP!?"
---
"No, wait, I saw one of them take damage…
"But in an instant, their HP was back to full!"
---
"It's not that they're not losing HP—
"Their healing is just completely outpacing the damage!"
---
---
Trying to Make Sense of It
"This is insane!
"What kind of healing ability is this!?"
---
"Only two of them are attacking!
"The Thunder Mage obviously doesn't have healing skills—
"So the healing must come from the guy who summoned the trees!"
---
"Wait, what the hell ARE those trees!?
"Is that a control skill!?"
---
"How can a control skill cover such a huge area!?
"And he summoned FOUR of them at once!?"
---
"Why didn't anyone tell me in college that
"something this broken exists!?"
---
"Absolute large-scale control,
"plus crazy team-wide healing!?"
---
"What the hell kind of class is that kid!?"
---
---
Wu Dayong's Answer
Wu Dayong, still stunned,
answered instinctively:
---
"Farmer… His class is Farmer…"
---
---
No One Believed Him
"Bullshit!"
---
"Farmers are a lifestyle class!
"They don't have any combat skills!"
---
"Since when do Farmers have large-scale CC!?"
"Since when do they have healing!?"
---
Wu Dayong's teammates couldn't believe it,
but the facts were right in front of them.
---
They had to believe it.
---
---
Verifying the Information
"Our captain isn't lying."
---
"Xu Yan really is a Farmer."
---
"Our teams were assigned together.
"We saw their info when the instructor registered us."
---
Captain: Xu Yan, Farmer.
Teammates: Chef Gao Yang, Stonemason Bai Ding, Thunder Mage Wang Ke.
Average level: 12.
---
"Yesterday, we thought they were just here to watch.
"We didn't think they'd even leave the city gates."
---
"If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes today,
"I never would've believed they had this kind of power!"
---
---
More Shocked Reactions
Pang Fei's and Lu Meng's teams were completely dumbfounded.
---
"Wait, not just a Farmer…
"There's also a Chef and a Stonemason!?"
---
"THREE lifestyle classes!?"
---
"And they're only Level 12!?"
---
"How is this possible!?
"How does Level 12 have that much damage!?"
---
"How does Level 12 have that much CC!?"
---
"How does Level 12 have that much healing!?"
---
"Holy shit, the world is truly full of wonders.
"Today, my eyes have been opened!"
---
---
The Beast Tide Grows
The small beast tide continued surging forward,
causing tremors that spread through the ground.
---
Nearby recruits felt the vibrations,
and everyone was shaken.
---
"That force…
"It's a beast tide!"
---
"A small beast tide has broken out near the thunder zone!"
---
---
Fear Among the Recruits
"No way…
"District 36 is actually facing a small beast tide!?"
---
"Is our luck that bad!?"
---
"Thunders like that don't happen naturally—
"someone's already fighting it!"
---
"Do we go help?"
---
"ARE YOU STUPID!?
"What did the instructors drill into our heads!?"
---
"If you see a beast tide—
RUN.
---
"If you hesitate, your whole team gets wiped!"
---
---
Brutal Reality
"Remember the recruits who died in other districts?
"How did they die?"
---
"More than 90% died
"because they didn't escape fast enough from a beast tide!"
---
---
The Only Option
"So what do we do now?"
---
"What do you think!?
"We stay AWAY and WAIT."
---
"The real high-level disaster beasts have already been cleared.
"This beast tide can't grow bigger.
---
"It'll collapse in a few hours or days.
---
"But what about the team that's already trapped?"
---
"We can report it to the instructors—
"but by the time they get there…
"those guys are already dead."
---
---
A Harsh Truth
"Another team lost…
"I have to watch my comrades die again."
---
"That's reality.
"This is war."
---
"We chose to wear this uniform…
"So we chose this fate."
---
---
Instructor Response
Soon after,
multiple recruits
reported the small beast tide outbreak.
---
At Camp No. 36's Instructor Center,
over a dozen instructors
stood grim-faced.
---
They immediately mobilized.
---
"All instructors, assemble! Rescue mission—NOW!"
---
One of them sighed.
---
"Damn it…
"I didn't think it would be our turn in District 36."
---
"And there are already teams trapped in it."
---
"Looks like today's going to be rough."
---
Another instructor spoke bitterly.
---
"Let's move fast.
"Maybe we can still save some of them."
---
The room fell silent.
---
Then,
they all moved out.
---
End of Chapter.
