“Who knows when the beast tide will arrive.” At the border of Ying Country, a soldier whispered to his companion, discussing the impending beast tide.

Half a month ago, it was observed that the demonic beasts in the safety zone were becoming agitated and more people who ventured there were getting injured.

According to the pattern, these were the precursors of a beast tide.

The military, concerned, dispatched a four-star Beast Tamer to investigate the situations in the safety and danger zones.

The result was unexpected, though. The threat level of the demonic beasts in the safety zone had significantly increased, with one-star and two-star beasts exhibiting augmented aggression and hostility.

On the contrary, the dangerous zone was not in accordance with the pattern; where some beasts, upon seeing the scout, let alone attacking, would hide far away, almost as if they were terrified of human contact.

However, that only pertained to a minority; most three-star and four-star beasts were certainly more aggressive.

Generally speaking, this matched the description of the signs of a beast tide.

As for the death zone in the deeper parts, the military did not investigate. The death zone was inhabited by five-star and six-star beasts, those areas could only be examined by five-star contracted beasts.

But the death zone was extremely dangerous, and even five-star contracted beasts that went there, they often never returned.

As five-star contracted beasts are rare and considered strategic resources, the military was reluctant to risk them.

“I heard that a six-star beast caused this beast tide, is that true?” the soldier asked his companion.

Beast tides have two possible origins, either instigated by five-star beasts or six-star beasts—the former is known as a city-destroying beast tide, while the latter is referred to as a nation-destroying beast tide.

“Let’s hope not.” the comrade responded with palpable apprehension. “The last nation-destroying beast tide was two hundred and fifty years ago. We can’t be that unfortunate to witness another one, can we?”

“I’ve read the memoirs of a particular commander. Even when we were fully prepared, we were horrendously defeated, with an entire nation collapsing and billions of people dying.” Looking towards the Demonic Beast Forest in the distance, the soldier shuddered.

“The nation that perished became the current safety zone, occupied by beasts, where you can still dig up remains.”

The comrade whispered, “It does seem like it. Some people heard a bear roar. Sounded like they brought that six-star contracted beast over.”

The six-star golden bear, Xiong Pi, is of an irascible nature and doesn’t always listen to its Beast Tamer. It’s very difficult to control and unless necessary, the military would be reluctant to use this deadly weapon.

“It’s coming!”

On the radar, countless light dots, representing the demonic beasts, shone brightly, flooding the detection range.

“A million, hundreds of millions… it’s a nation-destroying beast tide!” The green glow of the radar screen cast an eerie light on the soldiers’ faces.

“Level 1 Alert, nation-destroying beast tide!”

Soon, the soldiers could visually detect activity from the distant Demonic Beast Forest.

Covered in dark clouds, the forest rustled with trees falling down, issuing a chilling sound. The attacking line of beasts seemed endless, like an infinite tide.

Initially, the soldier thought the beasts could control the weather and came with the dark clouds. However, as they got closer, he realized that he was mistaken.

“Those aren’t dark clouds, they’re flying beasts!”

Flying beasts were blotting out the sky, filling up the entire space above.

Flying beasts are incredibly hard to deal with. The combined forces of the human’s warplanes and flying contracted beasts were still outnumbere by the adversaries.

“This time, the scale is even bigger than two hundred and fifty years ago!”

Although he lacked data to confirm his observation, the soldier felt that this beast tide could make the top three in the history books.

“To be precise, this is the largest beast tide.” remarked another older soldier who was knowledgeable.

This soldier patted his contracted beast on the shoulder: “Flying beasts, huh? I have one too, a four-star colorful parrot. Hopefully, it can provide some assistance.”

The other soldiers looked at each other in surprise, none of them had expected that Old Feng had a four-star contracted beast.

With the beast tide approaching, the nation had appealed for soldiers. Old Feng was one who had responded to the call.

Old Feng’s experience was enough to make him a temporary commander, but the military was hesitant as he was quite old and there was a risk that he could have a relapse of integration disease, thus they did not dare to let him join the troops.

However, Old Feng was steadfast in his determination to join the army. Given the military’s shortage of manpower, they incorporated him into a temporarily-formed squad.

“I wonder how those two kids are doing.” Old Feng whispered. Nine months ago, Xia Chao and Qiu Shi had messaged him, saying they were going to the Demonic Beast Forest.

And it’s been nine months already since their departure, they haven’t been heard from since.

Landmines exploded, anti-aircraft missiles were launched, strategic missiles fired, flame bullets deployed, the anti-aircraft guns fired…

Explosions sounded incessantly, flames shot high into the sky, the heat waves were rolling.

Large groups of beasts were killed by the modern weapons, the change in their numbers, however, was barely noticeable on the radar.

The beasts which fell only accounted for an extremely small fraction of the beast tide.

This was a standard tactic used by the military: use modern weapons at the outset and dispatch contracted beasts subsequently, alternating between the two strategies.

However, there was a slight difference this time.

“Roar!”

“Get back, get back quickly!”

Xiong Pi roared and took to the air, ignoring the Beast Tamer’s urgent calls to return.

The golden bear flew from the backlines towards the beast tide, wreaking havoc in all directions.

With one fierce stomp, cracks split the ground and molten lava spewed out.

The front-line beasts, consisting of no more than one-star and two-star monsters, stood no chance against the six-star Xiong Pi.

Everyone was taken aback. The deployment was disrupted when Xiong Pi, intended to be the last resort, went on the offense.

Crucially, he was a six-star contracted beast, a being capable of causing utter destruction.

“Everyone retreat!”

Upon Xiong Pi’s engagement, the military’s grand plan became futile; not a single weapon could come into play. Furthermore, the aftermath of Xiong Pi’s attack could possibly reach the humans’ base. Not retreating would be equivalent to a suicide mission!

“Oink, Oink!”

A ludicrous pig squealing sound echoed from the back of the beast tide, yet no one found it amusing.

A gigantic wild pig, the size of a mountain, flew out from the backline of the beast tide and engaged Xiong Pi.

A six-star beast, the Star Shattering Wild Pig.

Their interaction was equivalent to two practitioners at the Body Integration Realm battling against each other. The aftermath of their collision destroyed the front line beasts entirely, while the border defense line was shattered due to the shock waves emanating from their clash.

Calls of a bull and a deer were heard on both sides.

The human’s six-star Water Buffalo also flew out from the back and arrived at the front line.

On the beast side, the six-star White Deer, unwilling to be outdone, confronted the enemy.

The formidable forces of humans and beasts all appeared on the front line and broke into a battle that was powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth!

Both parties, finding the ground battle insufficiently challenging, ascended to the skies to combat in the clouds.

This was the largest scale battle recorded in history.

Mountains and rivers were mere weapons at their disposal; Xiong Pi picked up a huge mountain and hurled it at the giant wild pig, only for it to be shattered by the pig’s snout.

The White Deer commanded a great river, turning it into a long whip to strike at the Water Buffalo. Bracing his hind legs and rearing up on his forelegs, the Water Buffalo pinned the enormous river under his hooves.

Those standing below watched mountains shift between clouds and rivers suspended in thin air, declaring it a spectacle of a lifetime.

However, it was also an immensely destructive sight.

While they were engrossed in the fierce battle, a tremendous thunder was heard from far away, followed by a torrential downpour. It seemed like the entire world was enshrouded in the heavy rain.

Even the river, suspended in the air under the control of the White Deer, transformed into clouds, ascending to the higher skies only to descend as rain once more, soaking the earth.

An unfamiliar sound emanated from the horizon, forcing both parties to cease their altercation temporarily. They detected a hint of a menacing presence from the foreign sound.

The people had never heard this authoritative and dominant sound before.

If there were any people from the Kyushu region present, they would inform everyone that this was the Song of the Dragon.
