Chapter 1242: The Easily Formed Beast Legion
November 13th, 2017
Ji Province, Anping Defense Line.
The news of Zhang He's failed mission quickly reached Yuan Hong, delivered in a way that shocked him to the core.
The messenger was none other than Zhang He himself, the sole survivor of the battle, who appeared before Yuan Hong out of thin air.
Zhang He was in a terrible state; his chest had been swept by the 'monster's' tail. Despite wearing legendary-level armor, it couldn't completely negate the force of the blow. His armor was crushed, and half of his bones were shattered, leaving him in a pitiful state.
When Yuan Hong saw that even a historical warrior as powerful as Zhang He was in such a miserable state, and that he had become this way after just one exchange with the opponent, Yuan Hong was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He realized that his plan had essentially failed.
The team he had sent out previously was already his most elite force, and even they couldn't defeat that creature. Yuan Hong now felt helpless against it.
The only thing he could do was to hold off the beast army as much as possible, while using the time to relocate the civilians and their property to heavily fortified towns. This way, even if the defense line fell, the losses would be minimized, and the situation in Changshan Several Prefectures, where looters took advantage of the chaos, could be avoided.
While Yuan Hong was making these desperate moves, Lu Hai Kong had finally finished the emergency rations.
After consuming the emergency supplies, Lu Hai Kong finally sprang into action, no longer taking his time like a leisurely outing. This group was now like caged beasts with sharpened claws, ready to pounce. They immediately demonstrated their prowess with impressive feats.
As the main force of the beast army attacked Anping Kingdom, Lu Hai Kong and his group began to sweep from the rear.
This time, Lu Hai Kong was full of vigor. He handed over the two cavalry troops to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, letting them handle the stragglers in the rear, while Lu Hai Kong himself set out alone with the Beast Slave Order.
After all, Lu Hai Kong had come here to fill up the Beast Slave Order. Although hunting beasts with the two cavalry troops was efficient, capturing beasts with a strength of 90 and above was not easy. The fact that he had only captured five such beasts in a long time was proof of that.
So, after adjusting the training methods of the Black Wind and Iron Blood cavalry troops to match the Beast Feast, Lu Hai Kong unleashed his full potential. He went solo, roaming freely among the nearly 100,000-strong beast army. Of course, Lu Hai Kong had the strength to do so!
At this point, Lu Hai Kong's strength was on the verge of breaking through the 100 mark, and he could achieve it whenever he wanted. His political attribute, after cultivating the Primordial Dao Art, had also reached 90.
This dual-cultivator in martial arts and politics had an insanely powerful combat strength. Despite not having officially broken through the 100 mark, he was still a formidable opponent for most who had.
With Lu Hai Kong's secret weapon and the Beast Slave Order in hand, he was like a fish in water within the vast beast army.
Lu Hai Kong's boldness in hunting beasts had another reason—he discovered that these beasts were not particularly intelligent. Even the beasts that had broken through level 90 were barely smarter than dogs.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Hai Kong dared to fearlessly roam amidst the nearly ten thousand-strong beast army without worrying about being surrounded and attacked.
Relying on his strength and hidden trump card, Lu Hai Kong's prowess was awe-inspiring. On the first day, he directly captured three beasts that had broken through level 90, including a flying creature.
The next day, the number of beasts that fell into Lu Hai Kong's grasp reached a staggering ten. And when the number of beasts in his Beast Slave Order reached eighteen, he truly became an unstoppable force.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong had to capture beasts himself, but once his beast army reached a certain number, he no longer needed to intervene. If he took a fancy to any beast, he merely had to wave his hand, and his beast army would rush forward, surrounding the target from all sides, making it easy to capture.
Under these circumstances, the attributes of the beasts under Lu Hai Kong's command increased significantly. On the third day of his official hunt, his Beast Slave Order was unexpectedly filled to capacity.
Of course, not all one hundred beasts were above level 90; in fact, only twenty were.
It wasn't that Lu Hai Kong couldn't find more beasts above level 90; it was due to the limitations of the Beast Slave Order. It couldn't control that many beasts above level 90, so Lu Hai Kong had to settle for those with strengths around level 80 but with special effects and abilities.
Although this fell short of Lu Hai Kong's initial expectations, his beast army was now, at the very least, taking shape.
...
Beyond the realm, in the Mystic Land, there was a colossal altar where the giant black heart had been sent into the Three Kingdoms world. An old Taoist priest sat quietly in the center of the altar.
Please... You... Collect_6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
This Taoist priest was a unique figure in the realm, and no one knew his origins, identity, or how long he had been sitting there.
To many, he seemed like a statue, carved in this mysterious and grand yet lifeless place, silently responding to the occasional requests of those with special purposes and collecting various oddities.
Interestingly, despite the Taoist's vast capabilities, bordering on omniscience, his business was not thriving. Few sought his services, and the previous old general who had visited was the only one in recent years.
The old general's appearance seemed to bring the Taoist some luck, for within a year, another person found their way to him.
On the altar, Qin Mu, dressed in black, looked at the Taoist before him, a faint smile playing on his lips. He took out a black bead the size of a fist and asked, "What do I need to pay to have this delivered to the Three Kingdoms world?"
As Qin Mu spoke, the Taoist slowly lifted his head, his gaze fixing on Qin Mu...
