The hedgehog rolled its eyes, seemingly displeased with Chen Li's command, but it still shook its spines, sending an invisible wave radiating from its center.
Ordinary people couldn't sense this wave, but the cultivators present could detect a hint of something unusual. However, to them, this anomaly was fleeting, like a gentle breeze brushing against their faces, and it didn't attract much attention.
Only Chen Li, at the moment the hedgehog released its wave, seemed to glimpse a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with countless beasts crawling and trembling in fear. It was an absolute suppression that came from the depths of their bloodlines! He couldn't help but swallow hard; this little creature really had some tricks up its sleeve!
After a brief moment of silence, distant roars of beasts echoed, growing louder as they approached!
Roar!
Awooo!
Various beastly howls mixed together, sounding like the roars from hell, sending chills down their spines.
The leaders—Lin Xuan, Cloud Sword, and Blazing Sun—immediately changed their expressions and exclaimed, "Not good! It's a Beast Tide! There are even more than last time!"
As they spoke, countless pairs of crimson eyes lit up deep within the mountains, swarming like a moving sea of red, bringing an overwhelming sense of pressure that washed over them!
Even from a distance, they felt their scalps tingle.
What’s going on? How can there be so many beasts?!
We’re surrounded! Quickly form a defensive formation!
Panic erupted among the crowd as shouts filled the air. Many disciples turned pale with fear, their hands trembling around their weapons.
Lin Xuan, Cloud Sword Elder, and Blazing Sun Elder also wore grave expressions. They flew into the air to witness the terrifying sight before them, waves of anxiety crashing in their hearts!
There must be at least ten thousand beasts! How could they appear so suddenly?! Cloud Sword Elder said incredulously, his voice trembling slightly.
Blazing Sun Elder gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! We are surrounded by these beasts! This time, we might not make it out alive!"
Lin Xuan furrowed his brow tightly, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings for an escape route. But apart from the endless Beast Tide, he found nothing else.
Chen Li sensed the surrounding Beast Tide and felt somewhat helpless. Although the hedgehog's pressure was formidable, those beasts were emerging from all directions as if they were everywhere; for a moment, he couldn't tell which way led to safety and which way led to doom.
Chen Li's eyes darted around before he muttered to himself: It seems I have to lead the way.
With that thought in mind, Chen Li walked over to Lin Xuan's side and grabbed his sleeve with feigned panic. "Lin Xuan," he shouted urgently, "there are so many beasts this time; we definitely can't fight them off! We need to escape!"
When Chen Li spoke, he looked utterly foolish.
Lin Xuan shot him a glare and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? We're surrounded by beasts on all sides! Where can we escape to?!"
Though he said this, Lin Xuan understood deep down that against such a massive Beast Tide, they had no chance of winning. The only option was to buy time and wait for the tide to recede.
Hearing this, Chen Li felt even more anxious. How could his rigid mentor be so clueless?
Roar!
Not far away, a gigantic bear with bulging muscles stood menacingly, its fur bristling like steel needles. Its blood-red eyes were filled with brutality and bloodlust.
With a powerful swipe of its paw, it sent the Cloud Sword Elder flying, letting out a deafening roar as it lunged toward the Blazing Sun Elder!
The Blazing Sun Elder fought with all his might to defend himself, but the protective barrier was weakening rapidly and could collapse at any moment.
The situation for the Cloud Sword Elder was equally grim; the number of beasts was increasing, and their frenzied attacks battered against the barrier, which seemed on the verge of shattering.
Seeing this scene unfold, Lin Xuan felt a surge of determination within him. His Vital Energy surged as he unleashed a stream of spiritual power, combining forces with the two elders to strengthen the barrier in front of them.
The three of them were the strongest among their group; only by working together could they unleash their true power.
But the Beast Tide surged relentlessly, one beast after another crashing into them.
Quickly, the barrier began to wobble dangerously and thinned out significantly. Clearly, they could not withstand such a frenzied assault from so many beasts.
At that critical moment, Chen Li suddenly grabbed Lin Xuan's sleeve and urgently shouted, "Lin Xuan, to the left! There are fewer beasts over there—let's escape!"
Lin Xuan was taken aback and instinctively glanced to the left. There, thick black mist enveloped the area, making visibility nearly impossible.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Where can we run to?!" Lin Xuan yelled angrily; he couldn't just stand by and watch his comrades die before his eyes!
However, Chen Li seized Lin Xuan's arm and pulled him toward the left while shouting, "Stop dawdling! If we don't move now, it will be too late!"
Lin Xuan wanted to say something more but was forcibly pushed forward by Chen Li.
"Lin Xuan, don't waste time! I have a plan to hold them off."
With that, Chen Li patted a hidden hedgehog and commanded it, "Hedgehog, help me create a diversion."
After speaking, Chen Li casually tossed out several low-level Yellow-Level Spirit Talismans.
The sound of explosions echoed continuously, shrouding Chen Li's figure in smoke.
No one noticed that a wave of oppressive aura was emanating from the small body of the hedgehog, as if a divine being had descended, instilling fear in all beasts!
The frenzied beasts instinctively halted in their tracks, frozen in place.
Seizing this opportunity, Chen Li quickly burst forth from the smoke and raced towards the main force.
In a moment of excitement, he couldn't help but shout towards the nearby members of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect, "Aren't you all leaving? Are you planning to stay here and feed the beasts?"
The people from both sects had just caught their breath and hadn’t even had time to investigate the source of that powerful aura when they immediately turned to chase after the members of the Imperial Academy.
Everyone sprinted forward, the roars of the beasts gradually fading away until they disappeared completely.
Chen Li returned to Lin Xuan's side, wiped away nonexistent sweat from his forehead, and feigned nonchalance as he said, "Good thing we ran fast; otherwise, we would have been done for."
The group looked at the weary Chen Li with eyes full of gratitude and relief.
"Little guy, you really are our lucky star!"
If it weren't for Chen Li rushing out just now and throwing so many Spirit Talismans to buy them time, those beasts would have been right on their tails. They might not have died, but they would certainly have been severely injured by now.
Even the nearby Cloud Sword Elder and Blazing Sun Elder nodded in agreement, their gazes towards Chen Li filled with newfound respect.
The two elders even set aside their statuses and bowed to Chen Li, saying, "Thank you, young friend!"
Chen Li chuckled foolishly for a moment, raised his hand dismissively, and replied, "No need for formalities, elders. If you really want to thank me, just give me a little more reward later."
