I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 87 The Beast Tide Converges!

The phone comes with a built-in photo editing app.

Jiang He hadn't used this thing much before, and it took him a while to figure it out before he finally managed to blur the image and send it over.

Zhou Tong received the photo and examined it carefully.

The facial features in the photo are clear, and the person looks quite young and pretty, but the area below the neck is blurred out...

Zhou Tong imagined the scene of her being beaten to a pulp and couldn't help but curse, "Jiang He, that guy, has absolutely no chivalry..."

"I don't know this person either. I'll have the intelligence department look into it later."

He edited a message for Jiang He and casually forwarded the photo of the corpse to the intelligence department.

After all, the seventy-two guardian deities of the Heavenly Demon Sect usually wear masks, and very few people have seen their true faces.

"You don't even recognize Captain Zhou?"

A city in ruins.

Jiang He grabbed the corpse by the feet and dragged it to the campfire, intending to cremate it.

He was taken aback when he saw Zhou Tong's message.

I thought about it.

Put the body down.

He took out the "Earthly Fiend Token" and placed it next to the corpse's head, then took another photo, blurred it out, and sent it over.

"correct."

"This woman is also impersonating the Earth Yin God General of the Heavenly Demon Sect. She even forged an Earth Fiend Token."

I just clicked send.

The phone screen flashed...

Shut down.

"wipe!"

"Was the message sent successfully or not?"

This satellite phone was a gift from Wu Xingchen.

It seems like it's been used by the river ever since, and it's never been charged.

To be honest, its standby power is quite strong.

After all, satellite phones were specifically developed for the "martial arts" group. Martial arts practitioners often venture deep into the wilderness to hunt ferocious beasts, and a round trip may take ten days to half a month. Long battery life is the most basic function.

After throwing the "female warrior's" body into the campfire, Jiang He fell into deep thought.

His original plan was to hunt ferocious beasts until dawn, then notify Wu Xingchen to have his men collect the "ferocious beast materials," and then hitch a ride back to the city.

The phones are all turned off now, what's the point of sending a notification!
"That's all."

"I first collected materials from the ferocious beasts, and then continued hunting them... I'll wait until dawn to see if I can run into other martial arts teams."

"I need to cultivate quickly so that Uncle Chen can give me a storage ring after I advance to the Body Refinement Grandmaster level!"

Jiang He piled the corpses of the ferocious beasts that had been blown away by the "aftershocks of the battle" back together and began to collect "ferocious beast materials" on his own.

In addition to his daily training and grinding for [Basic Strength], Jiang He has also studied the [Beast Material Gathering] course in his spare time these past few days, and knows which "materials" are valuable from the corpses of some common beasts.

But ultimately, I had little experience.

The collection process in rivers is very slow.

…………

at the same time.

Wucheng.

Martial Arts Administration Bureau, Enforcement Building, Captain's Office.

Zhou Tong plopped down on the sofa, picked up his thermos, and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

"Hetui!"

Spitting out the goji berry from his mouth, he turned on his phone, ready to tell Jianghe City about the "crisis" outside and urge him to come back quickly.

then.

Then he saw the photo that Jiang He had sent again.

After only a quick glance, Zhou Tong looked at the text message again.

"This woman is also impersonating the Earthly Yin God General of the Heavenly Demon Sect; she even forged a document..."

"The Earthly Fiend Token?"

Zhou Tong's expression changed.

He remembered Liu Feng's words!
Three of the four generals under the Heavenly Sin Star Lord were killed by Liu Feng, and one was seriously injured and escaped... Then Liu Feng encountered the three guardian star lords of the Heavenly Demon Sect and had no choice but to give up the pursuit!

I quickly opened the photos that Jianghe had sent.

Click to enlarge.

The "Earthly Fiend Token" wrapped around the corpse's head came into clear view!

"Fuck!"

Zhou Tong jumped up from the sofa, exclaiming in shock, "That bastard, he really killed the Earthly Yin God General?"

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends of the Heavenly Demon Sect!

They're either masters at the Grandmaster level or A-level transcendent awakeners, each with formidable strength... How much merit would it take to kill one of them?

Zhou Tong immediately sent a message to Jiang He.

But the news seemed to disappear without a trace.

He called again...

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."

Shut down?
That bastard, why did he mess up at such a crucial moment?
Without taking a break, Zhou Tong rushed out of the law enforcement building and headed to the director's office. Liu Feng was currently in a video conference; he hadn't even had time to change out of his Anima suit, the one with the sword energy slashing the chest. Sitting in front of his computer, he solemnly declared, "Everyone, the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion's defense is already extremely formidable. If left unchecked, it will undoubtedly advance to the King level!"

"The Heavenly Demon Sect has sent three guardian deities and one elder all at once; their ambitions are far-reaching..."

"I have rallied all the warriors in the city and notified the nearby armies... but this force alone is far from enough to defend Wu City. I need your help!"

Someone said, "Director Liu, the three guardian deities of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the ordinary beast tide are easy to deal with, but what about the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion?"

"When a ninth-grade ferocious beast advances to the king level, it represents a leap in its life level, equivalent to a martial artist breaking through from the ninth grade to the Celestial Realm... Without the intervention of a top-tier ninth-grade beast or a martial arts Celestial Realm expert, it is impossible to withstand it!"

"Request support!"

"Please send a powerful expert from above..."

"Most of the top forces of our Great Xia are behind the Heavenly Gate. The strong individuals who remain in the mortal realm each have their own posts. If they were to leave, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Take Liu Feng for example.

He was stationed in Wu City, but ended up running off to hunt down the Earthly Fiend Generals of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After receiving the news, the Heavenly Demon Sect immediately sent the Heavenly Sin Star Venerable to attack... Of course, Liu Feng and Chen Jingzhou had discussed this matter, and the plan was to "take the bait willingly."

Liu Feng said, "Don't worry, everyone. I've already contacted a master... There are plenty of people to deal with that Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion!"

The Western Xia Dynasty had one base city and four garrison cities.

These four fortified cities are Wucheng, Guyuancheng, Zhongweicheng, and Shizuishan.

These four fortified cities correspond to the four cities of the former Western Xia Province, while the Western Xia base city was built on the foundation of the former capital city of Western Xia Province, "Yincheng"!

The base city is located in the center.

The four fortified cities are built around the base city, so that if one city encounters a crisis, the other cities can provide immediate support!

In this day and age, the wilderness is teeming with ferocious beasts.

Trains and high-speed rail can be maintained between the Acropolis and the base city, but once outside the base city, they often have to cross hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of wilderness, making travel impossible!

Even the sky has become the territory of ferocious birds and beasts.

Ordinary airplanes and civil aviation are long gone.

Therefore, in an emergency, it would be difficult for martial artists from other base cities to come and provide support!
Crossing hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of wilderness is extremely difficult!

The video conference ended quickly.

The leaders of the other three garrison cities and the Xixia base city immediately began mobilizing the warriors within their cities and dispatched experts to provide support overnight... At the same time, they also had to leave a certain force behind for defense.

To prevent the Heavenly Demon Sect's spies from sabotaging things at a crucial moment!

"Director Liu, I have something important to report!"

…………

Ningdong Mining Area.

This place is far from human cities and is a paradise for ferocious beasts.

There were already many ferocious beasts gathered in the Ningdong mining area, and even quite a few high-grade ferocious beasts lived here...

And tonight.

More and more ferocious beasts came from all directions, their roars echoing everywhere. The number of low-grade and mid-grade ferocious beasts quickly reached several thousand, and eventually even exceeded ten thousand!
Even the aura of high-grade ferocious beasts numbered as many as thirty or forty!

It stands to reason.

High-grade ferocious beasts have an extremely strong sense of territory.

They usually have their own territories, and once they cross the line, a battle is bound to break out... But today, these high-grade ferocious beasts have gathered together, yet no conflict has erupted!

On the contrary, under the roar and leadership of these high-grade ferocious beasts...

Tens of thousands of ferocious beasts converged on the mountains and forests east of the Ningdong mining area... and during this process, more ferocious beasts joined the tide one after another!
It's important to know that ferocious beasts become extremely large in size during the process of evolution and mutation!
These cats, after evolving into ferocious beasts, are now as large as leopards...

What does it mean to have tens of thousands of enormous ferocious beasts gathered together?
From the night sky, the horde of ferocious beasts looked like a massive torrent, its movement causing the mountains and fields to tremble!

When they reached the rocky ground where the "Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion" was undergoing its tribulation, all the ferocious beasts stopped, lay prostrate on the ground, and remained quiet, not daring to make a sound.

Inside the gravel ground.

The Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion lay motionless on the ground.

On its body surface, crimson flames rose, and within the flames, electric arcs crackled and popped.

Its purple-gold carapace was shattered by the lightning tribulation, and purple blood flowed out from the gaps in the carapace.

not far away.

The three guardian deities of the Heavenly Demon Sect stared intently at this spot. One of them, who appeared to be younger, frowned and said, "Heavenly Longevity Star Venerable, the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion's life force is constantly weakening... Could it have been struck dead by lightning?"

The Celestial Longevity Star Venerable laughed and said, "The fact that it has been able to hold on until now means that it has survived the tribulation of lightning. It was just slightly injured by the tribulation and has entered a period of weakness."

"It has already reached the King level, and its life level has completed a leap. With further evolution, it will be able to recover in a maximum of 10 days."

The Celestial Lord of Longevity paused, then changed the subject and laughed, "Back then, Zhuo Bufan killed a King-level being who had just survived the tribulation of lightning, but the Great Xia blew Zhuo Bufan into the heavens."

"What Azure Dragon Swordsman? Humph!"

Beside him, another guardian deity said, "But if the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion needs 10 days to recover... wouldn't that give the Great Xia enough time to set up defenses and mobilize experts, and then launch a beast tide to avoid failure at the last minute?"

Tian Shou Xing Zun chuckled and took out a pill, saying, "The Grand Elder had already foreseen this. Before I left, he gave me a Nine-Nine Returning to Origin Pill. With this pill, the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion can recover from its injuries in a day... Notify the disciples below to prepare and try to drive away as many beast tides as possible here."

"The beast tide will begin one day from now!"

…………

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

Outside the ruined city.

After swallowing three "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills", Jiang He plunged into the wilderness.

"There should still be two or three hours until dawn... Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well find a few more ferocious beasts to kill!"
