"Boom!"
The Two-tailed White Fox shifted its tiny paws, an immense power bursting out and creating a sonic boom. The fragile sofa caved in, clearly now unusable.
Cheng Bingxi's eye twitched. From Tier Seven to Tier Nine, the power had exploded more than tenfold, and she still hadn't gotten used to the Two-tailed White Fox's explosive strength.
Up above, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon circled warily, carefully controlling its strength. If it slipped up, it might just smash through the ceiling.
So as not to destroy the apartment furniture, Xiao Ye and the other two exited their Summoned Beast Forms and returned to their human forms.
The human form inherited parts of the Summoned Beast's attributes; after leveling up their realms, their physical qualities had enhanced accordingly.
Cheng Bingxi clenched her pale fists, *her stunningly beautiful face brimming with excitement*, and said,
"Right now I feel like I have unlimited strength!"
"Fart like thunder, shit like shooting arrows, that's totally me!"
Nangong Siyao threw two punches, the air whistling, and said, "I could punch a bull to death in one hit!"
Xiao Ye checked the system's mission panel,
[Stage Mission: Take the number one spot in the national college entrance exam, let Wilderness Base City's overall exam scores enter the top ten of all base cities; Reward: Super Invincible Mysterious Grand Prize]
[Current Mission: Within half a month, have both Summoned Beasts reach Tier Nine, slay two Grandmaster-realm Demon Beasts; Reward: Rule-level Strange Treasure Profound Yellow Gemstone]
[Rule-level Strange Treasure Profound Yellow Gemstone: Can calm chaotic rules, settle over-limit and chaotic energies]
"The current realm was enough, it just lacked two Grandmaster-realm Demon Beasts."
"With two Tier Nine SSS-class Summoned Beasts' combat power, that was more than enough to slay a Grandmaster."
Xiao Ye was confident about this, *Talent Skills that manipulated concepts were no joke.*
"Doo doo doo doo!" An incoming communication rang. After connecting, the virtual screen showed the former captain of the Cheetah Hunting Team.
"Captain, we've got big trouble!" He looked solemn, "Because last time we killed the Demon Snake Forest's Beast King's son, that Tier Eight Demon Flood Dragon, we pissed off the Demon Snake Forest Beast King!"
"Now the Beast King is leading the eight Grandmasters of the Demon Snake Forest to attack Wilderness Base City!"
"The Beast King even launched a Demon Snake Beast Tide, and they're about to break through Wilderness Base City's defenses!"
"We're fighting desperately at the front lines right now!"
Xiao Ye's face changed, and he said quickly, "The front line, huh, we'll be there right away."
He hung up, checked his text messages, and realized several people had already reached out to him.
City Lord, "Xiao Ye! Protect Yao Yao."
The Training Maniac Bald Guy, "Xiao Ye! You all stay in the Youth Training Camp, and don't run around. It's plenty safe here."
Military Pavilion Master, "Yi Luren is missing, Xiao Ye, Contractors from your Youth Training Camp, watch out for Demon Beast ambushes."
Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi next to him had also caught on to the crisis, *their faces full of worry*.
The three immediately headed out, jumped into the SUV, and rushed toward the first defense line.
Outside Wilderness Base City,
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this very moment, the area was locked in a fierce battle, deafening sounds echoing everywhere.
Waves of Demon Snakes poured out of the Demon Snake Forest, shooting toward the walls of Wilderness Base City.
Thousands of Summoned Beasts from the City Guard Pavilion battled fiercely against the Demon Snakes.
Ordinary Demon Snakes from the Demon Snake Forest weren't much of a problem: they weren't venomous, weren't big, and were relatively easy to take down.
But plenty of types were extremely poisonous and huge. Even City Guard Pavilion's Summoned Beasts had to be careful in these fights. Wounds weren't the real problem—getting poisoned in the heat of battle meant there was zero time to inject the antidote serum. You were basically dead meat!
"Report! All Tier Four City Guards are wiped out!"
"Report! Over half of Tier Five City Guards are dead or wounded!"
"Report! Eighty percent of Tier Six City Guards have been poisoned, lost all combat effectiveness!"
"Tier Seven, Eight, Nine: massive casualties, combat power halved!"
The City Guard Pavilion reported status over and over. At the front, the Great Roc Pavilion Master and the Golden Tiger City Lord, locked in battle with the Eight Great Demon Snake Grandmasters, grew more grim with every report.
"Bang!" "Pavilion Master, let us handle these eight Grandmasters—save your strength, you two still have to deal with the Beast King!"
"That's right, the four of us can handle this!"
Wilderness Base City had six Grandmaster Summoned Beasts: the Pavilion Master and spouse, the City Lord and spouse, the Training Maniac couple Bald Instructors, and another three pairs of Grandmaster Contractors. This time, the Bald Instructor suggested the Pavilion Master should save energy.
This Beast Tide and the Eight Great Grandmasters were just the appetizer. The real boss was the Grandmaster-realm Beast King, a thousand-year-old serpent who had evolved into the Demon Flood Dragon!
Only the City Lord's Grandmaster Dapeng Bird teaming up with the Pavilion Master's Grandmaster Golden Tiger could go toe-to-toe with it!
"Bullshit, four of you versus eight—how are you fighting, with your heads?"
"Yeah right, one pair versus two, are you planning on dying here?"
Looking back at the piles of dead and wounded City Guards, the Dapeng Bird felt heavy at heart, and the Golden Tiger's gaze shot with fury. *They couldn't spare the manpower to help; if it was left to just the Four Great Summoning Beast Grandmasters, they'd never hold against the Eight Great Demon Snake Grandmasters.*
*If the Beast King Demon Flood Dragon jumped in, Wilderness Base City was done for.*
*Everything happened so suddenly—not a single other base city could send reinforcements in time!*
None of the Summoned Beasts realized it, but over a thousand meters high in the sky, inside a pitch-black cloud, the crimson-eyed Demon Flood Dragon was prowling, watching the battle below.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a unique roar rang out. Atop Wilderness Base City's wall, a Holy White Fox with two tails and an aura of utter purity appeared.
[Divine Charm: Causes enemies' minds to fall into confusion, mass-attack effect]
Full power!!
An unprecedented Spiritual Wave surged from the Two-tailed Holy White Fox, and within two seconds, it spread over the entire battlefield.
"Buzz!"
Something that stunned every Summoned Beast happened—apart from the Grandmaster-level Demon Beasts, tens of thousands of Tier Nine and below Demon Snakes all froze, stopping their massacre of the City Guard Army.
They all looked dazed, like their pause buttons had been pressed, motionlessly standing in place.
Every City Guard and Grandmaster was stunned by this scene.
"It's a miracle! A miracle just happened!"
"Thank God, Wilderness Base City is saved!"
"Attack! Kill them all!"
"Demon Snakes, die! So long as we're here, you'll never step foot in our Base City!"
Thousands of City Guard Summoned Beasts rallied to launch a counterattack, surging forward in waves to slaughter the frozen Demon Snakes.
In less than two minutes, the City Guard Army's dire situation had flipped. They'd butchered almost all the frozen Demon Snakes—the only ones left were the harmless, easy-to-handle low-tier kind!
"It's the Two-tailed White Fox's control skill—that's just insane!" The Training Maniac Instructor's Dark Giant Crocodile instantly saw the White Fox atop the city wall and said in shock.
The Dapeng Bird and Golden Tiger startled, exclaiming, "So it was Xiao Ye! An SSS-class Summoned Beast really does defy all logic, that skill effect is busted."
The White Fox, an SSS-class Summoned Beast, was worth more than a million soldiers!
For the first time ever, the Grandmaster Summoned Beasts on the field realized just how terrifying the SSS-class could be!
"Roar!!"
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened!
A Demon Flood Dragon brimming with evil aura shot from the clouds toward the city wall!
