Chapter 158 The Tide of Beasts

Um?

Hearing the system prompt from the inner world, Qiao Yu's eyes instantly gleamed with a thieving light.

Then he scanned all the members of the Western Alliance who had entered the special dungeon. If he understood correctly, these people would all be considered his followers.

So, half of all the rewards they gained from killing would be distributed to him?

Qiao Yu was immediately delighted. Wouldn't that mean he could just activate Six Paths Power, find a place to sleep, and he'd still be the one with the most gains?

He didn't have to do anything, and he'd definitely be the one with the most rewards.

Sure enough, sneaking in wasn't the way to go! You still needed an official token. Qiao Yu was almost ecstatic. This was simply a pie falling from the sky.

"Tian'e, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Anlia looked at Qiao Yu, who was grinning foolishly by himself, and couldn't help but worry about his mental state.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Qiao Yu finally came back to his senses, his expression immediately returning to calm.

He couldn't let others find out that he could plunder half of their rewards, otherwise, these people would definitely attack him in a group and kill him first.

At this moment, the system prompt from the inner world sounded again, but this time, not only was it in Qiao Yu's mind, but everyone else except for Xing Cang and his ten companions who didn't have chips implanted received the message.

[Welcome to the Shan Hai Ruins dungeon. There are currently 43 people in this dungeon.]

[Among them, 40 people are not located in the initial location, so they do not enjoy safety zone protection. Please fend for yourselves.]

[The Shan Hai Ruins dungeon is home to countless terrifying beasts left over from the Age of Gods. It is filled with death and danger, but also with countless opportunities. Good luck to all players.]

Hearing the system prompt from the inner world, the crowd looked at each other.

Thirty people came from the Western Alliance universities, and ten came from Xing Cang, making a total of forty.

So who were the other three people? And what was the safety zone?

Many questions filled the minds of the crowd, but no one could give them answers.

Qiao Yu's heart also skipped a beat.

All forty of them had entered through that void domain gate. Zuo Yu should still be in the Underworld at this moment.

That meant that the other three people were Ma Feiyang, Xiang Di, and Zhao Ziyue? Were they also in the dungeon right now?

Qiao Yu was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat worried. Xing Cang and his companions were not comparable to Morton and the others.

What if Yang Xiangdi and the others ran into Xing Cang…

At this moment, Kyle winked at Morton from the Ji Ni Tai Mei Academy, and Morton immediately understood and stood up.

"Everyone, this Shan Hai Ruins dungeon doesn't even have a level. We're unfamiliar with this place, so it's best to travel together!"

Morton's words immediately resonated with many people.

"Morton is right. Who knows if some extremely terrifying beast will jump out? Traveling together will provide more support."

"Indeed, unity is strength. Let's travel together!"

Seeing that everyone agreed with him, Morton immediately took the opportunity and said.

"In that case, our team should have a leader!"

The true intention was revealed, and Morton looked at Kyle.

"God-child, I feel that you are the only one suitable for this leader position!"

"No, no! How can I be worthy of such an important task!" Kyle quickly declined.

At this time, everyone also spoke up one after another, showering Kyle with flattery.

"God-child, please don't decline! You should definitely be the leader!"

"That's right, God-child, in terms of talent, strength, and status, who is more suitable than you?"

"God-child, please be the leader! We'll listen to you and follow you from now on!"

Seeing this, a smug look flashed in Kyle's eyes, and then he said with a regretful expression.

"I originally wasn't qualified to be this leader, but since everyone thinks highly of me, Kyle, and is willing to believe in me, Kyle, then I will definitely do my best for everyone!"

Kyle and the people from the various universities of the Western Alliance kept flattering each other.

As members of the Western Alliance, their best option after graduating from the academy was undoubtedly to join the God Emperor Palace.

And to join the God Emperor Palace, it would definitely be right to curry favor with Kyle, the son of the God Emperor, not to mention that Kyle's talent and strength were also worthy of their flattery.

Anlia was aloof and didn't like to compete for these things, and soon Kyle secured the position of leader of the team.

"Young Master Xing Cang, and everyone else, why don't we also travel together?"

After gathering the people from the Western Alliance, Kyle threw an olive branch towards Xing Cang and his companions.

"No need, thank you for your kindness, God-child. We already have arrangements."

Xing Cang refused Kyle indifferently. They didn't need to join the God Emperor Palace.

Seeing this, Kyle could only show a regretful smile.

"Then I wish the ten young masters great gains in this Shan Hai Ruins dungeon!"

Xing Cang returned a salute, and then the ten of them disappeared into the dense forest of the Shan Hai Ruins in a flash.

A hint of gloom flashed in Kyle's eyes, but he hid it very well.

"Alright, let's set off too! Let's explore this so-called Shan Hai Ruins!"

Kyle let out a heroic roar, and then the people behind him followed suit.

At this moment, the ground began to tremble slowly, as if something was rushing over from the depths of the forest.

Kyle narrowed his eyes, then glanced at the calm and composed Qiao Yu, and said.

"Student Tian'e, there seems to be something ahead. I heard from Anlia that you are very strong, so why don't you be the vanguard and investigate what happened!"

"Oh? Why should I go?" Qiao Yu curled his lips.

Although this Kyle had been trying to create a kind and amiable appearance, it was still difficult to hide the fact that this guy was narrow-minded.

He didn't even have the patience to endure for a while longer, and now he was starting to target him.

Before Kyle could speak, Morton, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak first.

"The God-child asked you to go, so just go! We finally managed to persuade the God-child to agree to be the leader. If you disobey the order and make the God-child angry, you won't have enough lives to compensate!"

"That's right, the God-child's arrangements have his reasons. Why are you talking so much?"

"That's right, if you don't want to stay in this team, then get out as soon as possible! Go and fend for yourself, and naturally no one will care about you!"

"This kind of person is really disgusting. They don't want to obey orders, but they want to stay in the team and not leave. They're like a turd-stirrer!"

The others who supported Kyle also spoke up and condemned Qiao Yu.

Anlia looked at Qiao Yu with some worry. She thought she understood Qiao Yu's personality somewhat. She was very afraid that Qiao Yu would fight with these people.

It could only be said that Anlia knew Qiao Yu, but not much.

Qiao Yu showed a kind smile.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go and do what the God-child ordered."

Then Qiao Yu tapped the ground a few times and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

Kyle looked at Qiao Yu's departing figure, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. Just wait, this was just the beginning. He would definitely play this Tian'e to death!

As Qiao Yu went deeper into the forest, he soon saw the reason for the ground shaking.

"Oh my good..."

Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Qiao Yu's Adam's apple couldn't help but bob up and down, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"What's going on..."

What came into Qiao Yu's eyes was a large, dark mass of a beast tide. It looked like an estimated thousand wild monsters were rushing over, each one galloping frantically, their beast pupils red.

The sound of pounding footsteps rose and fell, and unlucky wild monsters fell and were trampled into a bloody mess by their companions' hooves.

However, the death of their companions did not scare away these beasts. Instead, blood aroused their bestiality.

They rushed over here even more desperately.

Something's wrong!

This was Qiao Yu's first reaction after observing.

There were all kinds of wild monsters in the beast tide: wild boars, lizards, snakes, rabbits, oxen, hawks…

Clearly, various animals that were natural enemies were now mixed together in the beast tide?

Each of these wild monsters had the strength equivalent to a high-level. High-level wild monsters already had a certain amount of intelligence. How could they be so fearless?

Could it be that there was something terrifying chasing these wild monsters from behind? Or was there something ahead that was particularly attractive to these wild monsters?

Qiao Yu couldn't figure it out, but he felt that there must be some secret hidden behind this beast tide.

He directly activated his Ghost Eye and looked towards the rear of the dark mass of the beast tide. The Ghost Eye met a pair of huge, deep yellow vertical pupils. Just by looking at each other, Qiao Yu felt immense pressure.

The owner of those beast pupils was at least a King-level!

In that case, this was a beast tide with a commander!

Qiao Yu was shocked. Although he didn't know why the beast tide had formed, as a necromancer who had released the Gates of Akasha countless times, he was too clear about how terrifying the power of these four-legged beasts could be once they started running wild.

Don't think that the wild monsters in these beast tides were just high-level when taken out individually, but even with Qiao Yu's strength, if he were to stand in front of the beast tide, he would probably be seriously injured on the spot if he didn't die.

This kind of galloping beast tide was too terrifying. Like an avalanche, anything in front of the beast tide would definitely be destroyed directly.

Qiao Yu immediately turned around and left. His speed was still faster than the beast tide.

He rushed back to Kyle as quickly as possible, his face with an expression of undisguised ecstasy.

"Congratulations, God-child! God-child's command is effective. Ahead is a swarm of rare and exotic beasts, with extremely weak strength! But the rewards are quite generous!"

"I only killed one and got a C-grade equipment! God-child, please lead us to destroy the beast swarm!"
