A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 351: Taking Advantage of Others!

At this moment, regardless of whether it was on Earth or the Moon, all the people within the area of the Federation held their breaths. The frightening looks and screams of the ferocious beast, though a distance away and seen and heard through a live stream, were still extremely shocking to the people.

Therefore, everyone grew solemn. With even them reacting this way, the response of the people within the New Mars Region could be imagined.

The ferocious beasts looked ugly, a look of madness in their eyes. They were immensely imposing, and rather than charging out from a particular direction, they were under the deliberate control of the seal and emerged at high speed from ten different directions. Their goal… the zones where the ten candidates were!

Even though it wasn’t accurate to a point, the number of ferocious beasts charging towards each zone were about the same, and it was fair to a certain extent.

The a.s.sessment looked at which candidate could persevere to the end. Furthermore, the surge of the Beast Tide wasn’t a one-off continuous stream. The force of the seal would be in control, resulting in waves coming continually, with some time given for consolidation in between.

In this first wave of the Beast Tide, even though there were numerous ferocious beasts that emerged, most of their combat capabilities were of an ordinary level, specifically in the Ancient Martial realm. Under the restrictions of the seal, there were even some True Breath realm ferocious beasts, but they weren’t in large numbers. Even so, the sheer number of beasts was shocking. Looking from a distance, they appeared like a wave, charging towards the ten zones.

Compared to the prototype of the bases constructed by the nine other candidates, w.a.n.g Baole’s base paled severely in comparison…

The instant the ferocious beasts emerged, Li Yi and the others immediately sent out commands. Instantly, in the bases that they constructed, Fire G.o.d Cannons, Baole Cannons, and many other large-sized spirit items, as well as combat cultivators, were activated. In the blink of an eye, a shocking loud boom emerged. In this act of resistance, Li Yi and the other candidates continuously constructed their bases. They knew that, in order to persevere to the end, every second counted!

Now, w.a.n.g Baole’s eyes widened as he looked at the ferocious beasts charging towards him from afar. He immediately leaped into the air, and when he landed, he stepped hard into the ground. Immediately, the ground under his feet broke apart, accompanied by a loud noise. The soil flew into the air in all directions, and a large trench was created in the ground.

Without any hesitation, w.a.n.g Baole jumped into the trench. Activating his left-hand seals, the surrounding soil was sucked in by him quickly, instantly burying him…

The donkey standing at the side was dumbfounded, but it also reacted quickly, mimicking w.a.n.g Baole in digging a trench and burying itself in it…

This made everyone watching the live stream, who were initially anxious, surprised. They looked at the person and the donkey who had just buried themselves in the trenches they dug…

“This w.a.n.g Baole… buried himself?”

“What? You could even do that?”

They weren’t the only ones surprised. Even Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’ military were taken aback. The other candidates were a distance away and didn’t see what happened, but as w.a.n.g Baole was right beside Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars, they witnessed everything clearly. They didn’t have time to think too much about it, as most of their attention was directed to resisting the Beast Tide. However, very quickly… Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’ military began to scream maniacally and angrily.

“w.a.n.g Baole, you’re shameless!”

“Report him! Report him! This w.a.n.g Baole is cheating!”

It was impossible for them to stay calm. w.a.n.g Baole and the donkey had buried themselves in the trenches they dug, which was in an area where there were no structures. The ferocious beasts were raging, but they weren’t blind. Noticing that the s.p.a.ce didn’t have any structures, and that there wasn’t anyone around, their thirst for blood caused their attention to divert to the two sides that were the nearest…

As such, Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’ military had to resist the Beast Tide charging towards their zones, as well as the tide that was supposed to have been resisted by w.a.n.g Baole…

The level of stress was so high that it instantly made the two of them scream maniacally in anger. Curses were directed in all directions, but there was no way out. Their estates were so large that digging trenches would be useless…

The issue was that the bases they had constructed merely looked st.u.r.dy on the surface, but were completed through simple constructions. The ferocious beasts weren’t exceptionally capable, but were coming in extremely large numbers. They would be able to withstand it if they were merely resisting the beasts that were supposed to come after them, but now that they had to take on w.a.n.g Baole’s beasts, they were stretched over their limits.

Zhuo Yixian had it a little easier as the Five Generation Sky Clan gave him all their support. However, the candidate from Mars’ military was at a disadvantage. After all, the main candidate that the Mars military supported this time round was Kong Dao, while he was just there to make up the numbers. The servants a.s.signed to him also paled in comparison to Kong Dao’s, and under this stressful circ.u.mstance, the base that he constructed was easily destroyed.

With the large numbers of ferocious beast charging towards them, the servants a.s.signed to the candidate from Mars’ military would naturally not give their all in the a.s.sessment. They could still resist it initially, but as time pa.s.sed, they all became injured. They had killed many beasts, but after realizing that there were no signs of the first wave easing, their perseverance dwindled.

Therefore, very soon, some of them retreated and fled the combat grounds. Once one left the zone, it would be considered a forfeit of their eligibility to compete. Even so, in the face of innumerable ferocious beasts, the choice for most people would be to escape.

In this manner, as the base of the candidate from Mars’ military was destroyed, his servants also dispersed in all directions. Seeing that his hard work had amounted to nothing, the candidate from Mars’ military was extremely upset and angry, unwilling to become the first to leave. With reddened eyes, he found a corner and dug a trench, before hiding himself in it…

Before burying himself, he roared angrily in the direction of the area where w.a.n.g Baole had buried himself.

“w.a.n.g Baole, it’s not over between the both of us!”

As he dug the trench and buried himself, and as his servants escaped, the area he was at originally was instantly trampled by the ferocious beasts. After going back and forth, the beasts then diverted in two directions.

The neighbor of the candidate from Mars’s military was a candidate from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect. He witnessed firsthand the fall of the candidate from Mars’ military, but thankfully, there weren’t many beasts that were directed to him. He could still resist them, but in the case of Zhuo Yixian, the madness had increased.

He already had to withstand half the pressure directed to him from w.a.n.g Baole, and now that there was another half from Mars’s military candidate added to that, it was h.e.l.l for him.

The amount of hatred in his heart was indescribable, but he could only toil through it and resist now. His Fire G.o.d Cannons and the walls of his base were increasingly damaged. After having approximately thirty percent of his servants lose their combat capabilities, he narrowly managed to kill off all the beasts, and the first Beast Tide concluded.

The whole duration of the Beast Tide lasted for about two hours. However, this two hours was as long drawn as a nightmare for Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from the Mars military. For the live stream Federation viewers, the shock they experienced stayed long in their hearts.

“This is a huge trench!”

“I’ve never seen a fella resist their opponents like that…”

It was clear that Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’s military were extremely pitiful. One was severely disabled, while the other was entirely broken, both of them a step away from giving up their eligibility.

Li Yi and the other candidates had it significantly easier. After resisting the Beast Tide, they noticed the situation involving Zhuo Yixian and w.a.n.g Baole that had occurred. They all held their breaths, thinking that they had been blessed with good fortune not to have been neighbors with w.a.n.g Baole… Amidst their grat.i.tude, they didn’t have time to ponder too much about it. They grabbed hold of every second to restore and upgrade their bases, in order to make it more st.u.r.dy before the second Beast Tide commenced.

As discussion arose amongst the viewers from the Federation, which coincided with the conclusion of the Beast Tide, Zhuo Yixian immediately went to the boundary between him and w.a.n.g Baole and began screaming angrily.

“w.a.n.g Baole, get the h.e.l.l out of there!”

“w.a.n.g Baole! I want to fight it out with you!” From the other side, the candidate from Mars’s military emerged, so furious that he could kill someone.

With both of them screaming with rage, w.a.n.g Baole emerged from the trench, holding his head up arrogantly as he looked at the surroundings. The wild gra.s.s on the ground had obviously decreased in area, and even though the ground had become uneven, the area before him was barren land before and still was now. Uneven or not, there was no difference.

At the same time, he noticed the terrible state his neighbors had been thrown into. He blinked and cleared his throat, innocently looking at Zhuo Yixian and the candidate from Mars’s military, who were exploding with rage.

“What’s with both of you? Did I breach the rules? Is resisting the first Beast Tide with my wit wrong?”
