Desolate Era: Hatching a Phoenix at the Beginning Novel - Chapter 40
Chapter 40: Starting a Beast Tide, Unexpected
Sixty kilometers to the South of the Ye Chen Tribe, two men were advancing stealthily. One of them looked around from time to time, as if he was confirming the direction.
Suddenly, he stopped. A smile appeared on his face as he pointed at a cave. “This is it.”
“There are about 200 Black Bears inside. Although they are only E-Rank Beasts, they have thick skin and flesh. They are not afraid of death and are definitely useful. In addition, the powder stimulates them and they dare to go forward even if they meet a Divine Beast.”
“Hehe, let’s sprinkle this half-finished product first. When it’s time, we’ll throw in the last one. We’ll let them react and then turn it into medicinal powder that can stimulate Vicious Beasts.” The other person also laughed. He took out a bag containing purple powder and shook it.
After saying that, the two of them started moving. From time to time, they sprinkled some medicinal powder in the direction of the Ye Chen Tribe.
Such a scene appeared in many places. From an omniscient point of view, they counted the beast nests around Ye Chen. Some people even had two places in their view.
If they encountered any wild beasts along the way, they would hide and wait for the wild beasts to leave before coming out. They would even tail the wild beasts and follow them back to their nests before sprinkling powder on them.
As a result, their speed slowed down significantly and the number of Vicious Beasts that joined them increased. However, for the sake of hatred, they were happy and never tired.
…
Within the Divine Court of the tribe.
Ye Chen looked helplessly at the Divine Phoenix and Kun Peng in front of him.
He didn’t go out and didn’t need these two little guys to accompany him. They were playing like crazy.
There was once a time when the Kun Peng brought back more food than the Divine Phoenix. After showing off in front of the Divine Phoenix a few times, the Divine Phoenix was so angry that it immediately went out to bring back a lot of food.
When Kun Peng saw this, it naturally wouldn’t admit defeat. It didn’t even turn around, returning with many Vicious Beast Materials.
Just like that, the two Divine Beasts got angry. They came back, put down the food and went out immediately. Sometimes, they would not come back for a few days. This made Ye Chen have a headache.
It was not easy to catch these two fellows. Before Ye Chen could say anything, the two of them started chattering.
“I brought back more food than you did. I should be the Big Brother. Be my Little Sister.”
“Do you know what a big brother is? Do you believe that I will teach you how to be a beast?”
“You want to fight? Why would I be afraid of you? If you can catch up to me, I can call you Big Sister.”
“Does being the boss depend on speed? Don’t you know who has the longest time with the master!”
“…”
Hearing their conversation, Ye Chen really had a headache.
They all knew that Third Brother would be coming out soon. Now that they had not confirmed the position of the boss, it was basically empty. Therefore, they had been fighting here.
“Should we ask Master who is the boss?”
“Sure, I’m not afraid!”
“Master, who do you think is the boss?”
Facing the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng’s questions at the same time, Ye Chen pretended to not hear them. It was not good to offend either of them.
“You two play by yourselves. Don’t bring any more food back,” Ye Chen warned.
Ye Chen was cleaning up all the food that they brought back these few days, making him complain bitterly. He did not lack food and was forced to be a nanny. Naturally, he was unwilling.
Seeing that Ye Chen did not want to decide for them, the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng felt bored after a while and flew out again.
“They are finally gone. Who can understand the pain of having two Divine Beasts?” Ye Chen said this sincerely. However, if it was heard by others, they would scold him. If they did not want it, he could give it to them.
Outside the tribe, the people who had been observing the situation were elated when they saw the Immortal Phoenix and Kun Peng leaving. They immediately opened the system interface.
After such a long time, other functions of the system had already been discovered by humans.
For example, if some people added each other as friends, they could pull people to form a Group Chat, form a team, make it convenient to contact each other, etc.
After this person in charge of monitoring the Ye Chen Tribe sent out the news, the rest of the people were shocked. Their faces gradually became excited and then they started moving one after another.
“Roar!”
“Wu!!”
“Shriek!!”
Not long after, these people all started to move, using the combination of medicinal powder to create a mutation.
The smell of the mutated powder drifted into the nest and the wild beasts inside became restless and rushed out desperately.
This scene played out everywhere outside the Ye Chen Tribe. At first, the commotion was not very big. As time passed, the commotion grew bigger and bigger. Even the nest that did not have any medicinal powder started moving.
The earth was shaking and the trees were trembling. In the midst of the wild beasts’ mad dash, all the trees were trampled down.
Various kinds of ferocious birds and beasts appeared and ran along the spot where the powder was sprinkled.
Even the perpetrator did not expect the commotion to be so huge. After a moment of shock, they were overjoyed. They were chatting amongst themselves.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect the effects of this powder to be so strong. I also didn’t expect there to be so many nests nearby.”
“This effect is also beyond my expectations. I don’t believe that Ye Chen can turn the sky upside down without the Divine Beast by his side!”
“I’m just worried about one thing now. Ye Chen won’t die under the impact of the Beast Tide, right? How will we find a way to obtain a Divine Beast then?”
“Hehe, I can only say that we are unlucky. I believe that Ye Chen is just lucky. He had a fortuitous encounter when he first came to the wilderness, which is why he has the cultivation method. When the time comes, we will look for it carefully.”
“Let’s make this clear first. Whoever finds the training method must share it with us. Otherwise, don’t blame us for attacking together.”
“Of course. We’ve already agreed on this.”
“…”
They seemed to have already seen Ye Chen being trampled into meat paste under the stampede of thousands of beasts. And they also found the so-called Divine Beast cultivation method as they wished and then dominated the wilderness.
The Beast Tide was still going on. There was an endless stream of wild beasts joining the Beast Tide. They were also coming from the nests near Ye Chen. Soon, Ye Chen sensed the commotion.
The Plague Birds outside the tribe had already sensed it and flew up one after another. Their chirping sounds could be heard, as if they were warning and preparing for battle.
They were a special kind of existence in the wilderness. They were disliked by birds and were extremely united due to various reasons.
Ye Chen was not deaf. The beasts were galloping and roaring non-stop. Since he was not far away, it was hard for him not to notice.
“What happened?”
Originally, he had wanted to call out to the Divine Phoenix to bring him to the sky to take a look. Only then did he realize that the Undying Divine Bird had long since disappeared with the Kun Peng.
“These two little guys are getting more and more unreliable.”
Until now, Ye Chen had not noticed the end point of all the movements.. Him…
