Chapter 226: The Beast Tide Makes the Economy More Prosperous
Song Tiantian had become even stronger.
“Tiantian, you’ve broken through to become an Eight-star Beast Tamer?”
Song Ranran couldn’t help but ask Song Tiantian.
“Almost!”
Hearing Song Tiantian’s words, Song Ranran originally wanted to say something more, but ultimately held back.
She wanted to say how Song Tiantian was even more powerful than Old Master Huang.
Among that pile of Seven-star Fierce Beasts, there was even an Eight-star Fierce Beast, which was instantly killed by the Hell Ghost Vine. Song Tiantian was too strong!
Song Ranran had witnessed Old Master Huang’s abilities. Old Master Huang was indeed very powerful, and it was said he was a veteran Eight-star Beast Tamer who had broken through a long time ago.
But Song Ranran hadn’t expected Song Tiantian to be this powerful.
This plant-type Pet Beast was too amazing; she even wanted to contract another one like it.
The Hell Ghost Vine was truly too cool; the more she looked at it, the better it seemed.
She had already contracted two Pet Beasts and was already experiencing some Mental Rampage. If she contracted another one, her Mental Rampage would surely worsen. However, her Green Snake Spider’s talent was average, so she had painfully given up on the Green Snake Spider before and replaced it with the Golden Feather Giant Falcon.
Now, both her Pet Beasts had strong power and talent, and the Golden Feather Giant Falcon could even carry her to fly in the sky.
She couldn’t give up on either of them.
Song Tiantian’s Big White also seemed quite powerful. Although not as powerful as the Hell Ghost Vine, Big White was just an Iron-eating Beast.
In terms of potential, it definitely couldn’t compare to the two Fierce Beasts she had contracted.
But Song Tiantian had never given up and had always nurtured them well.
Song Ranran decided she would also nurture her own two Fierce Beasts well.
Constantly switching Pet Beasts made the Pet Beasts’ feelings towards their Owners fragile, resulting in low compatibility, which was actually not conducive to cultivation.
Song Ranran hoped Song Tiantian could develop Cold Fragrance No. 6, so she wouldn’t have to fear her Mental Rampage and could contract another Pet Beast.
However, this Hell Ghost Vine was just too cool!
No, she had to hurry and grab kills, leeching off the Hell Ghost Vine’s combat power to harvest these Seven-star Fierce Beasts. The points would be substantial.
Clearly, many people had the same idea as Song Ranran.
The points gained from killing a Seven-star Fierce Beast were simply too high.
Moreover, the Hell Ghost Vine didn’t seem to mind letting these people grab kills.
Bright red Fierce Beast blood splattered in the air, eventually falling to the ground, making it seem like a blood rain was falling from the sky, pooling into rivers on the ground!
The Hell Ghost Vine greedily absorbed the blood on the ground; it wanted to break through to become an Eight-star Pet Beast.
In fact, no fertilizer, no matter how good, could compare to so much fresh blood.
It also slacked off. When it saw that others could handle it, it held back its strength, unless a Fierce Beast foolishly sought death and flashed in front of it. That was considered slapping its face, and it wouldn’t beat the opponent to death, it would be letting itself down.
The Illusion Grass hid behind it, also frantically absorbing blood.
The Hell Ghost Vine had always known that the Illusion Grass harbored ambitions and always wanted to surpass it.
But the Hell Ghost Vine had once been an Eight-star Fierce Beast; its perspective was not something a country bumpkin grass like the Illusion Grass could compare to.
An Eight-star Fierce Beast was just a small goal; the truly important thing was becoming a Nine-star Pet Beast.
If it could break through to become a Nine-star Pet Beast, it would absolutely be a reversal of fate.
Breaking through to become a Nine-star Pet Beast was not simply about accumulating energy.
Therefore, it had no need to suppress the Illusion Grass.
Even if the Illusion Grass broke through earlier, it still wouldn’t be able to defeat it, so it didn’t need to care.
Besides, it couldn’t absorb all this fresh blood by itself; waste was shameful.
Furthermore, the Illusion Grass was also Song Tiantian’s Pet Beast. If the Illusion Grass broke through, and it also broke through, then Song Tiantian would definitely be able to break through to become an Eight-star Beast Tamer faster.
Only by strengthening Song Tiantian’s Strength could it break through to become a Nine-star Pet Beast faster.
The Hell Ghost Vine was very confident in Song Tiantian’s Talent; it felt that Song Tiantian would definitely become a Nine-star Beast Tamer.
At that time, Song Tiantian would be as powerful as Doctor Bai, and it could go duel White Lotus.
White Lotus was its good partner and friend.
If White Lotus was in trouble, the Hell Ghost Vine would definitely go to save White Lotus.
But so many years had passed, and the Hell Ghost Vine had always been inferior to White Lotus. Deep down, it had always wanted to prove itself, it just hadn’t met a good Owner.
Now that it had met Song Tiantian, it was sure it could catch up to White Lotus.
This way, it and White Lotus would be on the same level, and being friends would be even happier and more joyful.
The Beast Tide was truly a season of harvest. No wonder the people of Qingshan City always looked forward to the Beast Tide.
The first Beast Tide had never stopped, lasting for a day and a night, but the surging Fierce Beasts still seemed endless. Many people’s Long Sabers had become blunt.
They had to go to the Blacksmith Shop to buy more sabers.
The Blacksmith Shop’s business had never been so popular.
The snacks sold by street vendors made from Fierce Beast Meat were also much cheaper than before.
Because there was a large quantity of Fierce Beast Meat for sale, Song Tiantian’s wholesale price to them had also become much cheaper.
Many small teams of the defending army on the City Wall chose to work overtime, working sixteen hours continuously and resting for only eight hours.
No one knew how long it would last, and it was only the first day.
Although they were tired and injured, looking at the numbers in their Identity Tokens, so many Points, they all smiled joyfully.
They basically used their eight hours of rest after work to get medical treatment at the hospital.
The hospitals in the outer city now only treated the defending army.
If other people fell ill, they could only go to the hospitals in the inner city for treatment.
To be honest, the Beast Tide brought about an economic boom.
Song Tiantian knew very well that this Beast Tide would last for a long time, certainly not just a few days.
Therefore, she chose to expand the recruitment of the defending army, but there were still requirements: only Beast Tamers of Three-star Realm and above were allowed to become outsourced personnel.
After the Beast Tide ended, these Beast Tamers would go back to their previous jobs.
Not expanding was not an option; at this point, it had to be a nationwide mobilization.
They had to get through this wave first.
Song Tiantian slept for only about one or two hours a day; she was also working overtime.
With more Points, these people would want to spend. If there were no goods, wouldn’t that greatly dampen everyone’s fighting spirit?
What made Song Tiantian happy was that after the first day of fighting, many of the sub-team captains she had chosen before had broken through to become Five-star Beast Tamers. Everyone had become stronger.
The overall Strength of the Pet Beast Center had improved.
Unfortunately, there were still very few High-level Beast Tamers.
Even she, remaining at the Seven-star Beast Tamer Realm, had not broken through.
In fact, Song Tiantian’s cultivation speed had always been quite fast. Song Tiantian also knew that her Cultivation Progress was very rapid, but the pressure from the Beast Tide was simply too great.
Song Tiantian opened the City Lord group chat. The Big Bosses in the chat were all complaining.
This Beast Tide was targeting the entire Flower Country.
Therefore, as soon as the Beast Tide erupted, all the City Lords encountered Fierce Beasts besieging their cities.
This Beast Tide had arrived early, and everyone was unprepared; it came very fiercely.
Linhai City Lord: Family, does anyone understand! If the Capital City doesn’t send reinforcements soon, I’ll become the East Sea City Lord.
Wangshan City Lord: You don’t know the situation in our Wangshan City.
Haicheng City Lord: My place is about to become the domain of the aquatic race, turning into a true Haicheng.
Dongshan City Lord: My place is about to become the domain of Fierce Beasts.
Haicheng City Lord: The Fierce Beasts here are dense and terrifying. The Fierce Beast corpses are so numerous that we haven’t had time to process them, so we can only burn them.
All the City Lords in the group were furiously complaining about their respective situations and then frantically tagging the Big Bosses in the group.
Linhai City: Look at the picture! You’ve never seen such a scene in your life, right!
Song Tiantian opened the photo. The photo showed countless great white sharks, blue whales, and so on.
The group instantly exploded.
Haicheng: My god, this is comparable to our Haicheng.
Wangshan City Lord: Your place only has more Fierce Beasts! Do you know how many we have in Wangshan City?
Linhai City Lord: We only have more here? Do you have more than us?
Wangshan City Lord: Heh, want to compare?
Linhai City Lord: Let’s compare!
Haicheng City Lord: I bet on Linhai City winning!
Dongshan City Lord: I bet on Linhai City too!
Capital City Lord: Everyone, stop arguing. Provide some useful intelligence. All City Lords whose cities have not yet fallen, please report in.
Qingshan City Lord: Present!
Song Tiantian was one of the first to respond and report in.
After her, the City Lords who were arguing fiercely also reported in.
To be honest, those who still had the mind to take pictures were actually not in a particularly dire situation.
Those who remained silent were the truly tragic ones. Only a dozen or so City Lords reported in, one after another.
Because their battles were so fierce, the City Lords had no time to pay attention to the situation. Only when the fighting slightly eased did they have the time and energy to look at the City Lord.
Those Fierce Beasts, especially High-level Fierce Beasts, were not stupid; they had some intelligence.
Except for the initial assault, which was particularly fierce, if you could withstand the first few hours, you would slowly recover.
This was because they wanted to use Low Level Fierce Beasts to first deplete the defending army, so that their own attack would be safer.
Qingshan City held its ground during the first wave of the Fierce Beast siege, repelling the beasts’ surprise attack.
While Song Tiantian was resting, she also had the System simulate the aura of a Nine-star Fierce Beast to slightly intimidate the Fierce Beasts outside.
Although the System did not simulate the aura of a Nine-star Fierce Beast again later.
However, those High-level Fierce Beasts could vaguely sense that there was a Nine-star Fierce Beast here. Facing danger, any intelligent creature would not want to seek death.
So they set their sights on a new target, which was Linhai City, very close to Qingshan City.
Linhai City had many more people than Qingshan City, but it did not have a Nine-star Fierce Beast.
One picks the softest persimmon to crush.
Fierce Beasts were the same.
Only then could Song Tiantian descend from the City Wall and have enough time to deal with these Fierce Beasts, having pre-stocked a batch of Extreme Five-star Supreme Beast Food.
Song Tiantian glanced at the backend.
Leng Qing, Old Master Huang, Jiang Su, and others had all spent a huge amount of Points to purchase Extreme Five-star Supreme Beast Food for themselves.
They had wanted to eat it for a long time, but this expensive good thing was unaffordable before.
Everyone felt that expensive things had their reasons.
This stuff must be exceptionally good.
Although Song Tiantian had always emphasized that it only tasted good and had no other effects.
But only those who had actually eaten it could know how good this Beast Food was.
Huang Xiaohua was covered in dirt and smelled awful. She didn’t even have time to bathe. She originally wanted to change her clothes, but then thought that whether she changed or not, it would be the same since she was already dirty. It was better to just stay as she was!
Even if she changed into new clothes, as soon as she went to the City Wall, they would get dirty.
If Song Tiantian hadn’t said that she could only work overtime for a maximum of eight hours and fight for only sixteen hours a day, she would have wanted to continue fighting on the City Wall.
These were not Fierce Beasts; they were all money!
Defending the country was important, Huang Xiaohua admitted, but she had been conditioned to the point where her inner desire was still for Points.
When the sixteen hours were up, her Identity Token would vibrate automatically and glow yellow.
As long as Spiritual Power was injected, the Identity Token would turn red and display text: The Identity Token is exhausted and needs eight hours of rest to recover.
The Identity Token needed rest, but it was she who had been fighting all along.
But once she learned that the Identity Token could no longer earn Points, she felt all the strength drain from her body.
She had no desire to fight anymore.
However, the Extreme series of Beast Food was truly delicious! It lived up to its name.
Huang Xiaohua looked at her red Identity Token, which showed a Point balance of 29.
She only had twenty-nine Points left; this stuff really consumed Points.
But the effect was truly good; she felt her fatigue vanish.
Moreover, her Mental Power seemed to have increased, and her mind had become much clearer, as if a heavy stone that had been pressing on her heart had disappeared.
Huang Xiaohua, holding the half-eaten Beast Food Canned Food box, came to the bottom of the City Wall and sat down to meditate and rest.
A large number of people, just like her, were sitting below.
Those people would periodically inject Spiritual Power into their Identity Tokens, checking if the red color had disappeared.
In the last five minutes, a countdown would appear on the Identity Token.
Many people counted down the seconds, and as soon as they saw the red color on their Identity Token disappear, they would immediately rush to the City Wall.
Huang Xiaohua was surrounded by a group of people, all her teammates.
Each of them was incredibly enthusiastic, all expressing their willingness to work sixteen hours voluntarily.
No matter how hard or tiring it was, it was only for a few days.
After all, the Points earned from fighting for a day were immense, and protecting Qingshan City was everyone’s responsibility. They were the defending army, so their responsibility was even greater.
Now, people in the inner city could still enjoy entertainment every day and go to the beast-fighting arena to play, which was thanks to their contributions.
“Captain, I heard you bought that Extreme Five-star Beast Food. How was the taste of that Beast Food?”
A team member asked Huang Xiaohua.
“If you don’t have Mental Rampage, it’s best not to buy it. The taste is truly delicious, but only those with Mental Rampage can truly appreciate how good this stuff is.”
Huang Xiaohua recalled the taste of the Beast Food, and an excited expression unconsciously appeared on her face.
Everyone now understood that Mental Rampage was like a disease. Taking medicine without being sick would definitely not be beneficial to the body and would lead to drug resistance.
Mental Rampage was the same; taking medicine without having Mental Rampage would be a complete waste.
