Swallowed Star: The Sacred Eye of Duplication

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Beast Tide and Impact



Sun Qi and Zhou Yun, who were not far away, kept nodding their heads. Zhou Yun swung the long whip in his hand and said with a smile,

"Captain, you have nothing to say this time, right? After a few more training sessions, he will be able to take charge on his own. And judging by the speed at which his physical fitness is improving, he will soon be the second best player in our team. We have really found a treasure!"

Sun Qi also smiled and was about to answer when he heard Liu Gu's call.

"Captain, urgent news has come from the military garrison. A huge beast tide has erupted from within City 008 and is sweeping in all directions. Our location will be hit in less than an hour. Let's evacuate quickly!"

"What?! Is the news confirmed?"

Sun Qi was suddenly horrified. Under normal circumstances, they would have chosen City 006, which was closer to Yangzhou City, to test Ye Yun. However, a beast tide had just broken out in City 006 not long ago, so they chose City 008. They thought there would be no problem, but now an accident happened and an even stronger beast tide broke out.

Sun Qi acted decisively and rushed to the battle group of Ye Yun and the white-striped spirit leopard. The spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake catching its prey, accurately piercing the left eye of the white-striped spirit leopard and directly penetrating the white-striped spirit leopard's head. Before Ye Yun could react, Sun Qi grabbed Ye Yun's hand, ignored the white-striped spirit leopard's trophy, and quickly ran out of City 008.

In the distance, Zhou Yun and Liu Gu had already started running. Ye Yun was pulled by Sun Qi and listened to his general description of the situation. His brows immediately frowned. He did not expect to encounter such a sudden situation. Although the intelligence said that there was still an hour left, the speed of the beast tide was much faster than their speed of attack. And it was at least more than a day's journey to the nearest military garrison. The probability of being able to outrun the beast tide was extremely small.

The four of them gathered together, chose a diagonal direction and ran at full speed without looking back. After running for more than twenty minutes, the four of them felt the vibration under their feet at the same time.

Sun Qi's heart sank suddenly. Although it was a super-large beast tide, there were still some limitations in the lateral direction when the beast tide came. As long as they were lucky enough and chose the right direction, they could avoid the beast tide's route and then dodge this beast tide. However, the current situation showed that they were obviously unlucky and they happened to hit the direction of the beast tide.

Liu Gu gritted his teeth and whispered,

"Captain, take Ye Yun and go first! Without the two of us, your speed should be much faster. Maybe you can catch up with the military's attack when the beast tide completely erupts around you!"

Zhou Yun obviously had no objection to Liu Gu's words. She kept a faint smile and whispered to Ye Yun,

"Little brother Ye Yun, you have to live well for me."

Sun Qi looked at Liu Gu and Zhou Yun, two old teammates with whom he had worked for ten years, and then looked at Ye Yun beside him. He began to feel a conflict between his conscience and his desires. Jiang Nian and Wu Tong had handed Ye Yun over to him, and he didn't want Ye Yun to die in the beast tide like this. However, giving up the two old teammates was also not something Sun Qi wanted to see.

After a while, Sun Qi yelled at Liu Gu,

"Old Liu, the situation isn't hopeless yet! Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and run! Let's run sideways. I don't believe we can't escape the beast tide!"

Sun Qi's countermeasure was very simple. As long as he could run horizontally out of the range of the beast tide before it arrived, it would mean he was out of danger. Although the hope was slim, he still had the hope of fighting with all his strength.

Sun Qi roared and started running sideways with Ye Yun and the other two. The vibrations coming from their feet became stronger and stronger. Every vibration made Sun Qi and the other two feel a little depressed. After running for more than twenty minutes, Sun Qi suddenly stopped. There was smoke and dust floating in the direction ahead, and they could vaguely see the figures of a group of beasts rushing over.

Despair welled up in Sun Qi's heart, but the next moment he made up his mind, clenched the spear in his hand, and said loudly,

"Brothers, kill them. Even if you die, take a few people with you!"

Liu Gu and Zhou Yun also picked up their weapons. At this moment, Sun Qi and the other two felt a strong upward force on their combat boots and combat uniforms. Then the three of them floated into the air involuntarily. Then they saw countless groups of beasts passing under their feet below. However, because of the sudden rise, they avoided this fatal attack.

In a moment of surprise, Sun Qi and the other two immediately turned their eyes to Ye Yun's position, only to see Ye Yun looking at them with a smile and whispering,

"Captain, it's okay, let's go back quickly!"

"Ye Yun, you...you are actually a spiritualist?!"

Apart from the legendary strong men who surpassed the level of God of War, only rare psychics could do this. Sun Qi, Zhou Yun and the other two did not blame Ye Yun for concealing the news. Instead, they were grateful for Ye Yun's identity as a psychic, otherwise they would have to stay here forever.

Ye Yun chuckled and didn't say much. He manipulated his mental power to act on the combat uniforms of Sun Qi and the other two, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the nearest military garrison.

After flying for a few hours, Ye Yun saw the army in the distance. These troops were carrying powerful weapons and were stationed from their base to pick up the warriors in the wilderness. Ye Yun put Sun Qi and the other two down and remained in the air. He said softly,

"Captain, you are safe now. I will go back and see if I can save as many of our surviving compatriots as possible!"

Without waiting for Sun Qi and Zhou Yun to say anything more, Ye Yun flew back in the direction he came from. Sun Qi looked at Ye Yun's disappearing figure, opened his mouth, and finally uttered a low blessing.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Ye Yun flew back, searching for survivors who might be fighting desperately against the beast tide. However, Ye Yun was not arrogant. He knew himself well and only wanted to do his part. He would not sacrifice himself completely here. If it was really impossible, he would withdraw decisively.

After flying for more than 20 minutes, Ye Yun felt a strong battle wave, and he immediately became alert and rushed to the place where the wave broke out. After arriving, he found that there were many people here. Among them, a tall and strong man holding two hammers was the most conspicuous. From his momentum, it can be vaguely judged that he was a strong man at the level of God of War!

However, in this boundless beast tide, this God of War had to protect the others around him, so his actions were greatly restricted and he could not fully exert his strength. He was completely deadlocked with the entire beast tide.

If no one comes to reinforce, judging by the scale of this beast tide, this god of war will eventually be exhausted and die here. The military team is still far away from here, and it is completely too late for them to rush over while clearing the beast tide.

As soon as Ye Yun appeared, he was spotted by the God of War. He waved his sledgehammer and shouted,

"Brother! Take them away quickly. Don't worry about me. I'm fine!"

Ye Yun took a closer look and found that the people being protected by the burly man seemed to be a group of young warriors. There were six of them in total. Although they all looked a little dusty now, one could still vaguely feel that their identities were not simple. Each of them had reached the standard of a general, and compared to their age, they were definitely outstanding.

This group of people obviously noticed Ye Yun in the air. One of the men with green hair shouted at Ye Yun,

"That person, why are you still standing there? Take me away from here!"

Hearing this, Ye Yun's brows frowned instantly. Such an arrogant tone made Ye Yun's good impression of the strong man disappear for the most part, and he even had the idea of turning around and leaving.

However, Ye Yun still resisted the urge, and his mental power instantly emerged and acted on the combat uniforms of the six young warriors, causing them to slowly rise from the herd of beasts and float into the air.

Seeing this scene, the burly God of War also breathed a sigh of relief. He did not know this group of young warriors and just happened to meet them and came to their rescue. He was really afraid that Ye Yun would turn around and leave because of the green-haired man's words. Feeling Ye Yun's overall view, he couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Ye Yun.

Just when Ye Yun was about to fly away, a group of vulture monsters suddenly flew over from the distance. Each one was more than ten meters long, and there were hundreds of them in total. They were all war general-level flying monsters!

This sudden change made Ye Yun's expression tense. He maintained the floating state of several people, and a flying knife appeared, flying around, killing the flying beasts that were charging towards him.

In the past month, with the help of the guiding technique copied from the HR Alliance, Ye Yun's physical fitness has reached the standard of 13,000 kilograms, which is close to the level of a mid-level general. In other words, the strength of Ye Yun's mental power is also close to the standard of a god of war. Therefore, when dealing with this group of flying beasts composed of primary beast generals, every attack of Ye Yun's flying knife is almost an instant kill. As long as Ye Yun is given a certain amount of time, he can completely kill this group of flying monsters.

Ye Yun's full strength in dealing with these flying monsters meant that he had less time to care about the six young warriors. Each of them was held in the air by Ye Yun's mental power and had no way to move. However, they did not completely lose the ability to resist. They all took out their weapons to resist the few flying monsters that Ye Yun occasionally missed.

Under Ye Yun's outburst, the situation was maintained for a while. If it continued like this for a while, they would be completely out of danger. But at this moment, the green-haired man took out a red crystal bottle filled with scarlet liquid.

The green-haired man threw the crystal bottle towards the other five people and Ye Yun without any hesitation. It instantly exploded in mid-air. The scarlet liquid in the bottle instantly turned into red smoke and floated onto Ye Yun and the other five people.

Ye Yun didn't know what the scarlet liquid was. He only heard the only female among the six people exclaim,

"Lei Zijian, you actually threw 'Explosive Spirit Smoke' at us?! Why did you do that?!"

The green-haired man named Lei Zijian was not embarrassed at all. He said nonchalantly,

"You are stronger than me, so of course you should share more of the pressure! Don't worry, when we return to the base city, I will let my grandfather compensate you!"

Just when the exploding spiritual smoke touched Ye Yun and the other six people, all of a sudden, both the flying monsters in the sky and the beasts on the ground became extremely crazy. The flying monsters charged towards Ye Yun and the others like crazy, while the beasts on the ground jumped up one by one and pounced on the figures in the air.

With such an unexpected change, the originally stable formation was suddenly in danger of being broken. Ye Yun's position was still okay, but the remaining five young warriors found it difficult to maintain. In just a moment, two of them were caught by the head by the flying monster that rushed over, and another two were knocked to the ground by the leaping monster below, and were instantly submerged by the herd.

The sturdy God of War was also dragged down by the furious beasts at this time and was unable to prevent the tragedy from happening. He swung his double hammers madly and was extremely angry at Lei Zijian's actions.

The last young female warrior escaped because she was closest to Ye Yun. Ye Yun was filled with anger and he stepped forward to hug the woman and protect her.

Lei Zijian had not expected that using this explosive spiritual smoke among a herd of beasts would cause such serious consequences. He was a little panicked for a moment, but he was not sad about the death of his companions. Instead, he was afraid that Ye Yun would not be able to resist the herd of beasts, and would not be able to take him away safely.

Ye Yun looked at Lei Zijian with cold eyes. He really couldn't understand. When the beast tide came, whether it was Sun Qi and others, or the strong war god at this time, they were all thinking about others and never selfishly thinking about themselves. Ye Yun thought that all warriors were like this, but today he knew he was wrong. It turned out that among the warriors, there were scum like Lei Zijian.

Controlling the dagger, Ye Yun killed all the remaining flying monsters, and slowly flew to Lei Zijian's side.

Even if Ye Yun didn't say anything, Lei Zijian could still feel Ye Yun's cold aura at this moment. He shrank his neck and mustered up the courage to say,

"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to relieve you of the pressure. Who knew I went in the wrong direction?"

With a 'swish' sound, the flying knife slashed across Lei Zijian's head, shaving off a layer of his green hair. Lei Zijian was immediately frightened and he shouted loudly,

"What do you want to do?! Let me tell you, my father is the God of War Wang Tao of the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School, and my grandfather is the Inspector of the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School Lei Meng. If you dare to touch me, they will not let you go!"

When Ye Yun heard Lei Zijian introduce himself, he immediately understood Lei Zijian's confidence, but the next moment his eyes became even colder.

"Lei Meng and his comrades were so famous in their lives, but they actually have a scumbag descendant like you? How dare you attack your own companions like this?"

Thinking of the four young warriors who had just died unjustly, Ye Yun could no longer bear his anger. The flying knife suddenly flashed with a cold light and pierced straight into Lei Zijian's head.

Lei Zijian still looked incredulous until his death. He could not believe that the reputation he had always carried could not scare Ye Yun away. His big eyes could not close for a long time, with a lingering look of surprise and fear.

After killing Lei Zijian, Ye Yun's mood did not improve at all. The four dead people would never be resurrected. He gently raised his hand and lifted up the sturdy war god below. The sturdy war god saw the whole process. He stood in the air beside Ye Yun and gently patted Ye Yun on the shoulder.

"Young man, don't lose faith! There are indeed scum like him, but the reason why we humans can survive to this day is because of countless warriors who dare to sacrifice. Don't lose hope in your own identity!"

The girl in Ye Yun's arms was also a little surprised at Lei Zijian's death, but when she thought of the other four companions, she suddenly felt that Lei Zijian's death was not a pity. She felt the loneliness of the people around her and also spoke out to comfort them.

"What this uncle said is correct. Lei Zijian attacked you first, so you deserve to die here. As for Lei Meng behind him, you don't have to worry. You are right no matter what happens today!"

Ye Yun still didn't say anything. He silently pulled the combat uniform on the burly war god, put his arm around the girl's waist, and walked towards the direction of the army they came from.

Sun Qi and Zhou Yun followed the team until they saw Ye Yun coming back. They finally put their minds at ease. When Ye Yun landed, they saw Ye Yun's expression and felt a little strange. After listening to the girl's description, Sun Qi, who was always good-tempered, couldn't help but cursed,

"Lei Zijian deserves to die! Ye Yun, don't worry. Lei Meng is indeed in trouble, but we will report this matter to the higher-ups. I believe the higher-ups will help you!"

The sturdy God of War nodded at the same time and said in a deep voice,

"Well, I am also a witness to this incident. When your Extreme Martial Arts School and the Lightning Martial Arts School negotiate, I will come forward and will not let your kindness go to waste!"

The girl escaped from Ye Yun's arms and said softly,

"Ye Yun, my name is Li Lanqing, remember this! I will help you this time too!"
