Chapter 228: They Changed Their Tune So Quickly!
“City Lord Song is righteous, coming alone to meet us. We will cover your rear.”
Chu Haiji, the City Lord of Linhai City, gave his son and daughter a look and stayed behind, guarding Song Tiantian’s front, their backs to her.
This was a good opportunity to gain Song Tiantian’s trust.
If you want others to believe you, you must also trust them.
Trust is mutual.
Therefore, their family chose to trust Song Tiantian first, exposing their weaknesses to her by turning their backs.
Moreover, Song Tiantian’s arrival this time was an act of great righteousness.
“Lian Yongliang, you and the others are powerful. Go ahead. The weaker Beast Tamers will be in the middle, and we will cover the rear.”
Lian Yongliang and Chu Haiji, the City Lord of Linhai City, didn’t get along well, but since Lian Yongliang was powerful, letting him lead the way was a reasonable request.
Furthermore, he was indirectly introducing them to Song Tiantian.
However, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t gain Song Tiantian’s favor as much as those who were protecting her from behind.
He had no choice. His entire family needed to go to Qingshan City to eat, drink, and live. Building a good relationship with Song Tiantian would make it much smoother to get a position or make money.
“City Lord, your righteousness is unparalleled. We will surely defend Qingshan City to the death and serve with all our might.”
Those Eight-star Beast Tamers were not to be trifled with either. They exchanged glances and spoke in unison to Song Tiantian.
They directly addressed Song Tiantian as City Lord.
The position of City Lord! Was that something precious?
If it were truly precious, they could easily obtain it as long as they didn’t abandon Linhai City.
Like now, it was good not to be the City Lord. The order to abandon the city was given by the City Lord. Such a disgraceful matter had nothing to do with them; they were just subordinates, what could they do!
Chu Haiji was speechless. He regretted it; he should have called Song Tiantian City Lord earlier.
Their attitude changed too quickly!
They had forgotten him, the former City Lord, so quickly. Indeed, people are always fickle.
The hearts of the people truly belonged to the Flower Country, not to any specific city.
This was true for Linhai City, and it would be the same for Qingshan City.
This was also why the officials were willing to delegate power.
Song Tiantian looked at the surging crowd. Even though she felt their loyalty was nonsense, the synchronized voices still shocked her.
“Everyone, hurry up! Let’s reach Qingshan City and rest as soon as possible.”
Song Tiantian said to everyone.
Qingshan City had a newly built outer city, which was very empty and lacked manpower.
Because the outer city was greatly expanded, it was designed to expand from the diameter of the Pet Beasts.
To be honest, even if Qingshan City were filled with millions of people, it wouldn’t be too crowded.
Many people had escaped from Linhai City, even though many had died along the way.
However, there were still many survivors.
Song Tiantian had originally wanted to talk with everyone for a while, but cries of anguish were already coming from the rear of the team.
The Fierce Beasts had caught up!
When Song Tiantian met them, she had asked the System to mask the presence of so many people and emit a different, repulsive scent to the Fierce Beasts. However, she hadn’t expected the Fierce Beasts to catch up so quickly.
Song Tiantian immediately flew to the rear.
“Help!”
“Who can save my child!”
“I don’t want to die!”
“Someone save me…”
“Wuwuwuwu, I don’t want to die yet…”
The cries of the people in the fleeing team were incessant. Fierce Beasts, incredibly ferocious, tore apart the bodies of the weak One-star Beast Tamers and their Pet Beasts. The fleeing crowd completely lost control. Song Tiantian immediately had the Hell Ghost Vine rescue those pitiful people. However, many still ended up torn to shreds by the Fierce Beasts.
Song Tiantian had the Hell Ghost Vine move these people to the very front of the team, while she continued to stay behind to hold off the Fierce Beasts.
Song Tiantian summoned Big White and had Big White fight alongside the Hell Ghost Vine. As for the Illusion Grass and the System, they were kept as trump cards.
Song Tiantian wanted to save people, but she couldn’t let her guard down.
What if someone harbored malicious intent inside if her Pet Beasts were exhausted?
She had to act cautiously.
The figures of everyone, crying out under the bloody setting sun, fled in disarray.
The Nine-headed Thunder Wolf crushed the rock strata and leaped into the air, its fangs condensing electricity into a materialized Thunder Halberd that attacked the crowd.
Song Tiantian leaped into the air, her toes tapping on the incoming Thunder Halberd. The azure Hell Ghost Vine suddenly split into thousands of black and purple patterns, pouring down with powerful Spiritual Energy.
Song Tiantian stood on the Hell Ghost Vine and struck down the Nine-headed Thunder Wolf with a single saber slash.
However, there were too many attacking Fierce Beasts, and more were coming one after another.
Big White stood behind Song Tiantian, roaring at the sky and shattering the flames spat by three Fire Pythons. Its iron fists smashed a portion of the attacking Fierce Beasts.
The Three-headed Thunder Wolf King launched a surprise attack from the side, its forehead’s crystal core emitting lightning chains that tried to ensnare Song Tiantian. But the Hell Ghost Vine was not to be trifled with; it instantly controlled its azure vines to block the Thunder Wolf’s lightning chains for Song Tiantian and entangled these Thunder Wolves.
Song Tiantian was about to kill the Three-headed Thunder Wolf King with a single saber strike, but something underground seemed to be preparing a sneak attack.
Song Tiantian flipped in mid-air to dodge the scorpion tail stinger that broke through the earth. Her long saber erupted with an extremely powerful saber energy, and seven Rock Scorpions were instantly cut into pieces by Song Tiantian’s saber energy.
Chu Haiji was stunned. Song Tiantian was much more powerful than he had imagined, no wonder she dared to come alone.
These were all Seven-star Fierce Beasts, Eight-star Fierce Beasts!
Song Tiantian’s actions just now happened in the blink of an eye.
He said he would protect Song Tiantian, but seeing so many Fierce Beasts, how could he not be afraid?
So, instinctively, he was a step too slow.
These were all High Level Fierce Beasts.
But facing such powerful Fierce Beasts, Song Tiantian dealt with them all with a single saber strike, like cutting leeks.
To be honest, in their Linhai City, most Beast Tamers fought by controlling their Pet Beasts, and rarely did Beast Tamers participate in combat themselves.
Moreover, their Beast Tamers’ combat abilities were not that strong. Neither the Beast Tamers themselves nor their Pet Beasts could compare to Song Tiantian in combat prowess.
Song Tiantian herself could instantly kill Fierce Beasts of the same level, and so could her Pet Beasts.
However, the Beast Tamers of Linhai City would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with these High Level Fierce Beasts.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Song Tiantian’s ability to defend Qingshan City wasn’t solely reliant on Dr. Bai.
Song Tiantian alone was enough to hold off an army of thousands.
Actually, when they were leaving, Chu Haiji, wanting to save face, didn’t want to leave so many people to die.
With one day left, he had prepared for a day. He had brought out everyone from Linhai City, and they escaped together. However, there were too many people, and many died along the way.
