The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 127 Beast Tide

It was midnight when everyone was awakened by the sudden tremor, feeling as if the earth was shaking!

"Wha...what happened? What's going on? The earth is shaking so badly, is this space going to collapse?" Hao Jujin, who had been sleeping soundly, was woken up by the commotion and was so frightened that he was somewhat incoherent, inadvertently uttering his thoughts.

Qingwu slapped him on the head and said speechlessly, "Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean the secret realm collapsed? I still want to live for thousands of years! Stop causing me trouble."

After saying that, she crossed her arms and glared at him!

Hao Jujin was so shocked by the blow that he saw stars. He shook his head and realized that the tremor from the ground was still there. He stared wide-eyed and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Yu Bingwen's expression turned somewhat grim as he said, "It should be a beast tide!"

At this moment, the cave fell silent. If you listened carefully, you could hear the howls of various wild beasts. It was undoubtedly a beast tide!

Chen Suili said seriously, "Why would a beast tide suddenly appear here? This beast tide is a once-in-a-century event. Could it be that some secret treasure is about to be born, or perhaps a high-grade spirit beast is about to be born!"

Indeed, the emergence of beast tides is not without pattern; it usually requires specific conditions to be met. For example, when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth fluctuates abnormally, it can trigger a beast tide. Such abnormal fluctuations often originate from the appearance of extremely precious treasures, causing anomalies in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Beasts are extremely sensitive to such changes in spiritual energy; they are either attracted by the treasures or driven by some force, leading to large-scale migrations of beasts.

In addition, there is another scenario: if a high-ranking beastman gives birth to a powerful cub with ancient bloodlines, this cub will possess an aura of power that overwhelms all other beasts. This aura will make the beastmen uneasy, prompting them to protect the cub's safe birth.

However, these are only the two most common scenarios. In reality, other factors can also lead to beast tides, such as humans using secret rituals or special beast-attracting agents. While these methods can incite beastmen to riot, their scale is relatively small and does not match the massive beast tides currently observed.

Taking all factors into account, this beast tide was clearly not caused by these minor factors, but rather by more complex and powerful causes.

Scanning the area with divine sense, one could see a vast, dark mass of beasts surging in the same direction like a tidal wave, as if summoned by some mysterious force.

Their silhouettes intertwined, creating a breathtaking scene. In the sky, flocks of birds, not to be outdone, flapped their wings and soared toward the same goal.

Some of these birds are enormous, their wingspan resembling a dark cloud, while others are small and exquisite, their vibrant colors adding a bright touch to this magnificent scene. The whole spectacle is truly spectacular, leaving one in awe.

However, Qingwu, Yu Bingwen, and the others were incredibly lucky. They chose to rest in a cave on a cliff face; otherwise, they would likely have been trampled flat by the beasts below. After all, their size and weight—can you imagine what it would be like if a huge boulder rolled down like that? Let alone a whole group of them!

Seeing the triangular rhinoceros outside, which was as big as a small hill, Qingwu couldn't help but take a deep breath and say something seemingly out of the blue: "They are the luckiest people I've ever seen! I wish them good luck!"

He said those words, but his expression was full of schadenfreude!

Hao Anqi, who was standing next to her, seemed to be deep in thought when he heard this, and Yu Bingwen also fell silent. They both agreed that it was related to her trip last night.

What exactly did she do? They weren't quite sure, but they knew that they had been encountering all sorts of things these past few days. There were sudden robberies, and other times, while they were fighting with the guardian beasts, someone would suddenly appear wanting a piece of the pie. But all of this was happening too frequently, so frequently that it seemed like someone was controlling everything.

They had their suspicions, but these were minor matters. They didn't realize the other party's determination to kill them, so they simply ignored them.

They guessed Qingwu's purpose for going out last night, but they didn't ask too many questions. After all, although she sometimes did things irrationally, she was still trustworthy when it came to important matters, and they all believed in her.

Chen Suili, standing next to Hao Anqi, heard Qingwu's ambiguous words and guessed what was going on. But he felt more sympathy for those people. Of all people to mess with, why did they have to mess with this shameless, treacherous, cunning, black-hearted, and unforgiving crazy woman? They were really unlucky!

Hao Jujin, standing beside Yu Bingwen, had some ulterior motives. His intuition told him that some people were about to suffer a great misfortune! However, what he cared more about was whether he could offer the treasures in their storage bags to this senior uncle so that he could pull some strings and allow them to directly enter the Dao Sect!

And so, each of them had their own thoughts. Looking at the spectacular scene before them, everyone felt that Qingwu couldn't have put on such a show by herself. Something interesting must have happened. To be honest, they were all quite curious, of course, on the premise that they were safe!

Finally, Hao Anqi broke the silence and asked, "What did you do last night?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Qingwu. Seeing the way everyone was looking at her, she instantly felt like she was possessed by a drama queen. She blinked her innocent big eyes, then put her hands on her heart and said with exaggerated expressions, "Why are you looking at me with such questioning eyes? As if I've done something wrong, it makes me so scared!"

Everyone was speechless. Yu Bingwen coughed, moved slightly closer to Qingwu, leaned his head towards her, and covered his lips with his hand, saying to her, "Uncle-Master, you've overdone it!"

After speaking, he quickly distanced himself from him and immediately resumed his serious demeanor, as if he wasn't the one who had been secretly talking to Qingwu.

As it turned out, Yu Bingwen's reaction was correct. The next second, Qingwu's eyes shot over, and she crossed her arms and said, "You know it in your heart, so why did you say it out loud?"

"Besides, she practices all the time, so she's incredibly skilled and can do it effortlessly!" She said, making a gesture as if she were doing it effortlessly.

"How could it be so exaggerated? That's really tasteless." Then she rolled her eyes at the other person, as if she was disgusted by their lack of taste!

Yu Bingwen pretended to be blind and deaf with a straight face, acting as if he knew nothing, heard nothing, and saw nothing.

Seeing him like this, Qingwu simply didn't want to talk to him anymore. He was always like this, pretending to be deaf and dumb whenever she couldn't win an argument. Qingwu scoffed and turned her head away, refusing to look at the guy who was ruining her mood.
