Wan Hongzhuang

Chapter 252 This Is... A Beast Tide Approaching

The weakened corner beast was no longer Young Master Lei's opponent. He directly controlled the Myriad Monster Formation, casting down a beam of light to absorb it.

"From now on, we'll do it like this: first weaken the thunder beasts, then absorb them directly."

"Mm, as long as we can fight."

"Sigh, wife, girls shouldn't be too violent. There's an old saying that goes, a woman should be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and yielding..."

"Are you teaching me the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"

Fang Xiaoyu's tone was very calm, her eyes slightly glancing at this little Wan Lei who didn't know his place.

Young Master Lei heard a murderous intent in her words.

It was a joke. Fang Xiaoyu was someone who didn't even pay attention to her own father. How could she obediently listen to you, little Wan Lei?

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense. Husband loves you the most. How could I ask you for those things? You are the best in everything, and you don't need to change anything. Husband loves you very much. Here, these two precious swords are for you."

With a survival instinct bursting, Young Master Lei immediately transformed into a henpecked husband, quickly picking up the two dropped soft swords and handing them to Fang Xiaoyu.

"I have my life-bound weapon, why would I need these?"

Giving Young Master Lei a sideways glance, but seeing his raised palm, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Young Master Lei didn't allow her to roll her eyes. She quickly stuck out her little tongue.

Charming and adorable, Old Madam Lei's heart of steel melted.

"Your fan, besides fanning some wind and smashing people like a club, is useless. It lacks aesthetic appeal. It just looks like a peacock's tail behind your butt. Look how beautiful these two swords are, and they are incredibly resilient. Treasures from the Immortal Realm, they are certainly better than yours. Accept them. You're not strong in close combat. With these, you can attack and defend, isn't that great?"

Seeing Wan Lei tirelessly promoting the pair of swords, eager for her to accept them, Fang Xiaoyu's heart warmed. Her lips curved slightly, and she accepted them with a smile.

"Yes, you can keep them in your dantian, or wrap them around your waist as a belt. When fighting enemies, you can unleash one unexpectedly and chop them down, hahahaha."

"You want me to untie my belt for everyone I meet?"

"Uh... forget I said anything."

Wan Lei turned, put away the Myriad Monster Formation, and then solemnly put away the formation pearls. He took Little Sister Xiaoyu's hand and got onto Little Yu'er's back.

Today was another fruitful day.

Thus, the clever Young Master Lei decided to take advantage of his never-ending good luck and go on another adventure. He had to catch at least two more Yuan Shen realm fierce beasts, right?

"Xiaoyu."

"Mm?"

"We are enjoying the scenery so leisurely. In this scene, don't you feel inspired to sing a song?"

"Speak human."

"Sing me a song."

"Your demands are getting more and more perverse. I can't satisfy you anymore."

"Sigh, this isn't fun at all."

Young Master Lei lay on Little Yu'er's back, his head resting on Little Sister Xiaoyu's lap, with his legs crossed and whistling a jaunty tune. He felt incredibly comfortable.

After wandering around the vicinity for another day or two, they arrived at another area inhabited by Yuan Shen realm thunder beasts.

"Logically, shouldn't the thunder beast, upon sensing its kind entering their territory, come out to counterattack? Why is it so quiet this time?"

Wan Lei stood up, looking at the calm thunder sea, pondering what was happening.

"Roar!!!"

A thunderous roar came from the west. A thunder beast resembling an elephant charged towards them, accompanied by rolling thunder.

"Hey, here it comes! Wife, kill it!"

Wan Lei shouted. Finally, he encountered a thunder beast. An elephant-like one was fine too. It looked like a power-type, much better in appearance than that pig.

This time, Wan Lei took the lead. He donned his armor, took out his hammer, and gathered lightning onto the hammer. As he neared the elephant, he swung the hammer towards its head.

The elephant ran extremely fast and possessed great strength. Wan Lei's hammer directly smashed a large chunk out of its head, but the elephant, in pain, did not retreat. Instead, it charged even more fiercely into Wan Lei.

Wan Lei was sent flying instantly, but he wasn't heavily injured, just shaken. He was used to it; these thunder beasts were nothing but brute strength.

Stabilizing himself, he picked up his hammer. Just as Wan Lei was about to engage the elephant in a battle of three hundred rounds, he was astonished to find...

The elephant had run away! It ran towards the east without looking back!

"That's not right. Didn't Doggy say these thunder beasts have territorial awareness? They would fight to the death to drive away intruders in their territory. Why did this elephant run away?"

Wan Lei looked at the elephant's rapidly disappearing figure in the distance, completely puzzled.

"If you consider it an animal, then it does have territorial awareness. The only reason it would abandon its territory is if a foe it absolutely cannot defeat has arrived within its domain."

Fang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment before analyzing.

"Oh, you mean it considers us an unbeatable enemy?"

Giving Wan Lei a look as if he were an idiot, Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Let's leave quickly too. Before that unbeatable enemy appears, it might still be possible to escape now."

"Why is the lightning here so violent?"

Wan Lei reached out, grabbed a bolt of lightning, and placed it in his hand. In an instant, the lightning exploded. The surrounding energy began to churn violently. As if to confirm Fang Xiaoyu's words, some powerful and terrifying enemy was about to appear.

"What... what is that?!!!"

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly pointed to the west and exclaimed. Her trembling voice was filled with terror. Wan Lei immediately looked up towards the west. In the distant sky, there appeared a sky-obscuring... horde of thunder beasts. The scale of the beast horde was immense, stretching from the southwestern horizon to the northwestern horizon. Furthermore, these thunder beasts were not just running on the sea surface. The thunderous sea was three-dimensional. In the sky, beneath the sea, there were thunder beasts. They couldn't discern the scale. All they could see was that the sky had gone dark.

"That's a beast tide!!!"

"Run!!!"

Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu immediately unfurled their wings and exerted their fastest speed, fleeing towards the east. As for the great shark, it had already fled without looking back while the雷 (Lei) and 雨 (Yu) duo were still stunned. With its small physique, if it were engulfed by the beast tide, it would be like a drop of water entering the ocean, disappearing in an instant. Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were very fast, quickly overtaking the great shark ahead. The beast horde behind them, for some reason, perhaps due to some group buff, was incredibly fast, stirring up waves of thunder like a tidal wave, closing in on them.

"Little Yu'er isn't running fast. It'll be swallowed by the beast tide."

Wan Lei looked back at the great shark.

"Why do you still care about it at a time like this?!"

Although she said this, Fang Xiaoyu still turned back. The beast tide... was getting closer!
