Chapter 432 - Five Lines of Defense
The most precious treasures in the Martial Imperial City had been divided among extremely strong people.
Some lucky early birds had made gains, too.
Others had felt extremely jealous when they had learned about the treasure by hearsay, but they could only blame themselves, for they hadn’t arrived there fast enough.
Murong Long’s announcement caught everyone’s attention immediately.
Yet some people were puzzled. If this was true, why would Murong Long have told them with good intentions?
They got their answer soon.
“It’s a blessed land, but it’s also the nest of all the fierce beasts in the secret treasure.
It looked like it was made of iron, its black surface shining like metal. When it wriggled, it created a great disturbance with great power.
A giant colorful snake was lying on a tower, obviously difficult to deal with.
These were all fierce beasts, much more terrifying than normal beasts and monsters. They were aggressive, holding a natural hostility to people, which was why they were called fierce beasts.
“Let’s divide our tasks.” Su Xing from the Evil Cloud Palace acted as a leader.
Murong Long had only told the others not to act on impulse. As for what to do next, he had no idea.
“Fierce beasts are classified into soldier level, general level, king level, spirit level, and holy level.
“According to my investigation, there were several soldier-level and general-level fierce beasts down there and five king-level.”
As Su Xing spoke, he drew the distribution of the fierce beasts to show people.
“I suppose you know what that means, with so many fierce animals gathered here.” He made everyone nervous. The crowd was breathing rapidly.
So many fierce animals had been attracted there. There must have been practicing treasure in the temporary imperial palace.
This was what attracted martial arts practitioners most.
“Each of the five king-level fierce beasts is terrible, but this isn’t the trickiest thing.
“During the fight, the swarming of low-level fierce beasts will be a great disturbance for us.
“We’ll take care of the king-level fierce beasts, but we need you to form five lines of defense to keep the low-level fierce beasts away from us.”
That was why they had shared the information about the temporary imperial palace with so many people.
“These five lines of defense will be deployed at these places.” Su Xing pointed at different places in the mountains and said, “The five lines of defense need to be built in three minutes. Otherwise, we’ll be put at high risk.”
“Now, who wants this task?”
No one answered. No one wanted to risk it, since each team would fight their own battle.
“Without the lines of defense, we won’t be able to kill the king-level fierce beasts. If we don’t get rid of the fierce beasts, none of us will get any treasure,” Murong Long said unhappily.
People looked at each other. They knew it was true.
“To build the defense lines, someone has to take the lead to distract the fierce beasts so that the weaker ones can form tactical formations.” Li Nanxing went straight to the point. He continued, “Everyone will have to work. It’s only fair.”
Soon, these people were divided into five teams and went to where they were going to build their defense lines.
Their leaders had all prepared for the upcoming fight, awaiting orders to set off.
“Jiang Chen, watch out.” Ying Wushuang was worried. A mere glance at the hideous fierce beasts down there froze her blood.
“It’ll be fine.”
Ranked fiftieth, Jiang Chen, of course, would be the first one to act. The one collaborating with him was Zhang Yu, whom he had just defeated.
