Hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei nodded and prepared to continue forward.
But just then.
That sharp, piercing howl sounded again.
Lin Hao frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
But as before, he saw nothing.
"Senior Brother, look quickly!"
Xiao Hei looked to the east at the dark, dense figures and was immediately startled.
Lin Hao also saw the dark, dense figures.
Countless beasts were charging towards them.
"Rumble!"
The beasts' footsteps, from far to near, became deafening in an instant.
At the same time, roars echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Senior Brother, it looks like a beast tide!"
Xiao Hei's face changed as he looked at the dense beasts charging towards them.
A beast tide itself wasn't terrifying, but the terrifying part was when it was like the beasts from earlier.
A few alone were already difficult to deal with, and now thousands upon thousands had appeared at once.
Even if he and his Senior Brother Lin Hao could split themselves, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
Listening to Xiao Hei, Lin Hao nodded and said, "Stay close to me."
Xiao Hei nodded and immediately stood back-to-back with Lin Hao.
"Senior Brother, what do we do?"
Xiao Hei looked at the rapidly approaching beast horde, his fighting spirit surging.
Even though he couldn't win, Xiao Hei's fighting spirit had not diminished in the slightest.
Instead, it had become even more fervent than before.
Even a hint of fanaticism was appearing on Xiao Hei's face.
"Don't rush, we can't confront this situation head-on."
Lin Hao shook his head, signaling Xiao Hei not to act impulsively.
At the same time, Lin Hao also vaguely understood what the sharp, piercing howl from the beginning until just now was.
Lin Hao felt that if he guessed correctly.
The sharp, piercing howls from the beginning until just now were the sounds of the Beast King.
And those piercing, sharp calls were precisely the signals the Beast King used to summon and gather the beast horde.
With this realization, Lin Hao immediately had an idea.
However, executing this idea would be somewhat difficult.
Lin Hao's idea was simple.
It was to directly find the Beast King and capture it.
Once the Beast King was caught, let alone the current beast tide.
Even if several more beast tides appeared, Lin Hao would not fear them.
But capturing the Beast King, given the current situation, seemed incredibly difficult.
Lin Hao even vaguely felt that the white shadow that had appeared earlier might be the Beast King of this group of beasts.
However, even if that thing was the Beast King, it had now vanished without a trace, and not even a shadow could be seen.
Especially the few howls that followed, it hadn't even shown its face.
Although Lin Hao had located the general area by following the sound.
But the Beast King was not an inanimate object, but a living creature.
Therefore, before seeing the Beast King's figure, even finding its general location was useless.
Moreover, if that white shadow was the Beast King.
It was likely that before Lin Hao could make a move, that thing would have already fled without a trace.
Thinking about these things, Lin Hao pondered for a moment, then said to Xiao Hei behind him, "Xiao Hei, if a battle breaks out, you must unleash your full power immediately."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei was stunned. Although he was a little confused, he still nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother."
After agreeing, Xiao Hei directly drew the Hanmang Sword from his back.
The Hanmang Sword was Xu Da's Hanmang Sword from before.
After Lin Hao obtained it, he gave it to Xiao Hei as a gift for stepping into the Grandmaster realm of Huajin.
As for himself, he generally did not need to use a sword.
Moreover, he still had a bronze ancient sword.
Although the bronze ancient sword did not look as powerful as this Hanmang Sword.
Lin Hao always felt that the bronze ancient sword was somewhat strange.
Therefore, after obtaining the Hanmang Sword, Lin Hao gave it to Xiao Hei.
Although the Hanmang Sword did not quite suit Xiao Hei's style.
But in this world, being able to have a treasure sword like the Hanmang Sword was already good.
Not to mention a weapon that was both suitable and a treasure.
Such a weapon was probably only found in legends.
However, after Xiao Hei drew the Hanmang Sword, he said to Lin Hao, "Senior Brother, why don't you use this sword?"
"I feel you can unleash the power of this sword better."
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Lin Hao shook his head and said, "No need, you use it."
"Besides, later I'll need you to help me carve out a path to the heavens with your sword."
"A path to the heavens?"
Xiao Hei was stunned, not quite understanding Lin Hao's meaning.
Lin Hao smiled and then explained his plan to Xiao Hei.
After hearing Lin Hao's plan, Xiao Hei's spirits immediately lifted and he said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely carve out a path to the heavens for you!"
After speaking, Xiao Hei looked at the dark, dense beast horde charging towards them.
"Rumble!"
The beasts' footsteps shook the heavens and earth.
The dense beast tide had already arrived.
Xiao Hei faced the direction of the beast tide, while Lin Hao had his back to it.
However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Hao and Xiao Hei were completely surrounded by the charging beast tide!
"Boom!"
The battle erupted!
Lin Hao raised his hand and unleashed wave after wave of "Heavenly Thunder Soul Devouring Seal."
Xiao Hei wielded the Hanmang Sword in his hand, a point of cold light shooting directly towards the beasts' souls!
In less than a minute.
Countless beast corpses lay around Lin Hao and Xiao Hei.
Brownish-red blood flowed everywhere.
The smell of blood was overwhelming, filling the air.
However, regardless of the corpses or the brownish-red blood.
As soon as these things appeared.
The beasts not only did not retreat.
Instead, as if stimulated, they became even more frenzied and violent.
Lin Hao continuously cast seals.
Xiao Hei also continuously swung the Hanmang Sword in his hand.
The two of them stood in place, their feet barely moving.
Of course, they couldn't move their feet even if they wanted to.
Because as soon as they killed one beast, another would immediately fill the void.
The beasts were dense, constantly charging forward.
They were inexhaustible.
If it were ordinary people, just looking at this scene would likely plunge them into despair.
Let alone fighting the beasts.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.
Lin Hao and Xiao Hei's initial fierce assault gradually weakened.
At the same time, the speed at which Lin Hao cast seals and Xiao Hei swung the Hanmang Sword also noticeably slowed down.
From being able to kill a beast with a single blow at the beginning, to now needing two blows to deal with one, it was evident.
Originally, whether it was Lin Hao or Xiao Hei.
With their current realm and strength, they should not have shown signs of fatigue after only ten minutes of fighting.
However, this was not an ordinary place.
It was a region of spiritual energy storms.
Lin Hao and Xiao Hei not only had to resist the erosion of the spiritual energy storm but also kill these thick-skinned beasts.
Moreover, these beasts came in waves, and they were inexhaustible.
Therefore, soon, the spiritual power within Lin Hao and Xiao Hei was more than half depleted.
