Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Seventh Grade Demon Beast, Thunder Ape King

After a while.

Hose arrived here as well.

Looking at the body on the ground, he said, "The person who ran away is called Long Hai, a soldier with all normal data, with nothing suspicious found upon inspection."

The data for soldiers has been entered into the Federation database from the moment of their awakening.

Generally, if the data is genuine, the person is also considered genuine.

However, Xiao Zhan said, "Just because the data is normal, doesn’t mean the person is normal."

Hose nodded his head, acknowledging that in this world, there were many unthinkable abilities; things like switching out the beams and pillars were quite normal.

"Let’s heighten the alert to prevent the enemy from making a surprise counterattack."

"Yes."

...

Meanwhile.

Outside of the Secret Realm, in a cave covered with white snow.

Long Hai furrowed his brows.

"The Northern Bear Federation is so useless, only holding on for a few minutes before being annihilated, it looks like I have to change my plan again."

"That Xiao Zhan guy’s growth speed is really fast, in less than a year, he’s already able to eliminate a Sixth Grade in seconds, if I appear in front of him, I’m afraid I won’t live for even a second."

"But it’s good that he is stronger, the stronger he gets, the stronger I will become in the future."

With this thought, his gaze turned in the direction of Northern City.

"It’s time for Ye Ajian, this chess piece, to be put to use."

Although he also wished for Ye Youlong to become even stronger, if he became so strong that he was beyond his control, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

And now was the best time.

But then, his brows furrowed again. With Xiao Zhan’s strength being so formidable, and with a Seventh Grade, Ye Wudi backing him up, precisely what method should he use to seize Ye Youlong without harm?

Roar~

As he pondered this, suddenly, he heard a low roar of a Demon Beast from within the cave.

He turned to look and only then noticed that there seemed to be a hidden narrow path in the corner of the cave.

He was a bit anxious because it seemed like the sound was coming from this path.

He didn’t want to provoke Demon Beasts and decided to leave the place quickly.

But at this moment, the Demon Beast’s voice sounded again.

This time, he heard it more clearly. The sound was deep and powerful, carrying an ancient authority, like a gargantuan beast sealed in the depths beneath the earth.

There was no doubt, it was definitely a Demon Beast that he shouldn’t provoke.

But Long Hai’s footsteps did not lead him out of the cave, but instead, he hesitated because he also heard a hint of pleading in that low roar.

After much hesitation, he walked into the narrow secret path.

...

On the other hand.

After considering overnight, Xiao Zhan decided to let Hose and the others stay to guard the Secret Realm, while he went to Northern City to fetch supplies for building the defense line.

With Demon Beasts causing chaos outside, it was almost impossible to dispatch a large troop.

Only he himself was the safest and most convenient option.

After handing over the Secret Realm to Hose and the others, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong set off.

They left the Secret Realm.

Outside, there were scattered Demon Beasts that seemed to know there were valuables inside, lingering outside the area.

Upon seeing Xiao Zhan emerge, they immediately pounced on him.

Xiao Zhan didn’t even need to use his scythe; he just released a mass of Death Aura. In an instant, the Demon Beasts wrapped in Death Aura seemed as if their lifelines had been seized, their movements becoming sluggish.

Then slower and slower, like in slow motion, until in less than two seconds, they collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Lifeless.

And then their corpses began to decompose at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pile of powder in the blink of an eye, not even leaving behind a Demon Beast Crystal Core.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but be a bit shaken by this scene.

He knew his Death Aura had grown stronger, but he hadn’t expected it to become this potent. Third Grade Demon Beasts couldn’t even break through the mist of Death Aura.

And in just a matter of seconds, they turned into a pile of dust.

Death indeed, living up to its domineering name.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t conceal a trace of excitement in his heart.

However, Ye Youlong couldn’t feel happy, for the stronger the Death Aura, the greater the corruption it meant for Xiao Zhan’s body.

Looking at the Demon Beast carcasses on the ground, she couldn’t help but think that one day, Xiao Zhan might also be corrupted by his own Death Aura into such a state.

Afraid that Xiao Zhan would notice her low spirits, she quickly masked her expression and then followed Xiao Zhan on the road.

Three hundred kilometers.

The closer they got to Northern City, the more they could smell a stench of blood.

Both Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong couldn’t help their expressions from growing grave, for just by smelling this thick scent of blood, they could almost guess the severity of this Demon Beast tide.

When they were less than twenty kilometers away from Northern City, Xiao Zhan’s Perception detected a large group of Demon Beasts.

A rough scan revealed tens of thousands of them.

But what surprised Xiao Zhan the most was that his Perception Skill couldn’t encompass the full number of these Demon Beasts.

Keep in mind, his Perception Skill could now cover a radius of ten kilometers!

Still, he couldn’t envelop them completely.

How many Demon Beasts could there be?

Xiao Zhan didn’t dare to imagine. Could such a level of Demon Beast tide be a once-in-a-century event?

Xiao Zhan dared not take this lightly.

He wrapped himself in Death Aura to conceal his presence, then entered Northern City through a dedicated hidden passage.

With such a number of Demon Beasts, even he wouldn’t dare to provoke them lightly.

Soon, Xiao Zhan approached Northern City.

At this moment, his Perception detected a Demon Beast with an exceptionally clear energy signature.

Its energy surged all over, standing out among the many Demon Beasts, like a night-time lamp, impossible to miss.

Xiao Zhan looked at it carefully.

This was a massive Demon Beast, about ten meters tall and remarkably robust, its form similar to a gorilla, but covered with scales and spikes, and intertwined with purple thunder on its spines.

From a distance, it looked like an engine with live wires.

Without any surprise, this was a Seventh Grade Demon Beast controlling the Power of thunder and lightning, the Thunder Ape King!

And by its side were four Demon Beasts with slightly weaker energy fluctuations—these were four Sixth Grade Demon Beasts.

They were stationed at the front, back, left, and right around the Thunder Ape King, taking a protective stance around it.

These five Demon Beasts were at the center of the Demon Beast tide, and the surrounding Demon Beasts would consciously make way as they passed.

Clearly, they were the instigators of this Demon Beast tide.

Xiao Zhan didn’t bother with them for the moment, killed some Demon Beasts blocking the path, and then made his way to the dedicated passageway.

This passage was specially constructed with an extremely concealed location, the entrance inside a mountain and also five kilometers away from Northern City.

It was suitable for escape, stealth attacks, and various situations.
