Chapter 1248: The Harvest
November 16, 2017
Ji Province, below the Anping Defense Line.
Lu Hai Kong's eyes shimmered with golden light, and his expression gradually darkened.
As he approached the monster, its offensive stance became increasingly evident, and he could clearly sense the murderous intent emanating from it.
"Has it lost its sanity, or is my perception deceiving me?"
Despite feeling a sense of familiarity and warmth towards the creature, the emergence of this murderous intent made Lu Hai Kong realize that he should be prepared to kill it if necessary.
"Forget it, I'll deal with it later. For now, I'll just capture it first."
As he spoke, Lu Hai Kong slightly raised his Savage Axe, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. However, just as he was about to act, the monster seemed to be suddenly stimulated. Its face, mostly covered in white skeletal features, changed, and its orange-red eyes flashed. Unexpectedly, the monster turned and fled.
This sudden turn of events startled Lu Hai Kong, causing him to hesitate. Ultimately, he decided against pursuing it.
On the one hand, although the monster had something taken from it by the fox, it didn't seem to be severely injured. Its strength hadn't diminished much, and its speed was incredibly chaotic. Lu Hai Kong knew that catching up would require a tremendous effort.
More importantly, even if he did catch up, he genuinely felt at a loss for how to deal with the monster. So, he simply let it go.
After taking one last look at the monster's retreating figure, Lu Hai Kong turned his gaze towards the Anping Defense Line, then departed with his Beast Legion and the captured fox.
On the other side, at the Anping Front Line.
Yuan Hong finally heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Lu Hai Kong stride away, but his expression remained complex. "This nightmare has finally ended in such an absurd manner..."
With the danger averted, Yuan Hong should have felt relieved and joyful.
However, after witnessing everything since the monster's arrival, Yuan Hong couldn't bring himself to feel happy.
"I always thought I was playing a Three Kingdoms game, but the Foreign Invasion, Beast Tide, and all sorts of chaotic elements clearly indicate that this world is not as simple as I imagined. It seems it's time to view this world through a different lens and find a new way to survive in it."
Yuan Hong's deep muttering on the wall of the Anping Defense Line was scattered by the wind. His expression gradually shifted from complex and dejected to resolute...
...
Lu Hai Kong was unaware of Yuan Hong's experiences and the transformation he underwent. He had no interest in such matters.
At that moment, Lu Hai Kong sat atop a beast, escorting the captured fox towards the Blackwind Legion's camp.
Along the way, Lu Hai Kong's face remained grim, deep in thought.
It was evident that he was pondering the monster and the sense of familiarity and warmth it evoked, which he couldn't shake off.
However, such matters couldn't be resolved by mere contemplation. After a period of anxious pondering, Lu Hai Kong could only set this concern aside for now and shift his focus elsewhere.
At this point, he wasn't paying attention to the fox, despite his interest in it. Lu Hai Kong had no intention of interacting with the fox at this time.
Despite Lu Hai Kong's abilities being all-around advantageous against the three-tailed demon fox, its abilities were equally bizarre. Without a safe and stable environment, Lu Hai Kong had no intention of approaching the fox, lest it escaped due to unforeseen circumstances.
Lu Hai Kong's gaze fell upon his attribute panel, specifically the system prompt he received after capturing the fox.
【You have successfully captured the top-tier aberrant beast, the Three-Tailed Demon Fox. As a special reward for resolving the beast tide, you receive a Mythical Chest and a unique mission reward!】
"Just a chest? The system seems a bit stingy this time!"
After checking, he found no other system prompts, causing Lu Hai Kong to furrow his brows. It was evident that he was dissatisfied with only receiving a mythical chest and a mission reward for his efforts.
Lu Hai Kong's greed knew no bounds, and while it was true that he only obtained a chest and a mission reward, his other gains were substantial.
Putting aside the twenty aberrant beasts with a capability of 90 and the eighty with a capability of 80 under the control of the Beast Slave Order, these were far more valuable than any chest.
This time, Lu Hai Kong had practically gathered the most powerful aberrant beasts from the beast tide, forming a formidable beast legion. With this legion, Lu Hai Kong's army strength had increased by at least five levels!
With such a substantial gain in a beast legion, wasn't it normal to receive fewer chests?
Moreover, Lu Hai Kong's harvest wasn't limited to the beast legion. His other significant gain was the Blackwind and Iron Blood cavalry legions.
Taking advantage of the beast tide, the Blackwind and Iron Blood legions underwent intense reinforcement.
With a large supply of aberrant beast meat and flesh as rations, both the Blackwind and Iron Blood legions experienced varying degrees of breakthroughs in strength. Currently, the average strength of the Blackwind soldiers approached 60, while the Iron Blood soldiers surpassed 65!
The strength of these two cavalry legions before and after the beast tide was like night and day. Even though their potential was evident, it was unlikely they could further increase their strength beyond 60 and 65. However, their current combat power was already astonishing.
With their strength, combined with their warrior traits and the equipment provided by Lu Hai Kong, these two cavalry legions would undoubtedly shine even when facing foreign demons in the future.
The enhanced strength of the two cavalry legions, coupled with the beast legion, a mythical chest, and a mission reward, was already an incredible haul.
However, Lu Hai Kong seemed to have other plans. His purpose for entering Ji Province wasn't solely for the beast tide and taking advantage of the chaos. He appeared to have another agenda.
"With the beast tide resolved, it's time to address that other matter. Dromar and Lu Bu have already broken through the 100 mark, and I have no reason to hold them back any longer..."
