Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

This was the first time Longying had shown such an expression since she was born.

Even the glint of greed in her eyes was something she had never seen before. Even when facing Long Yun, she only showed a look of longing.

Soon, Long Ying flew to the city wall and came to Lin Mu's side.

Her speed was so fast that even if Lü Bu arrived, he would have to call her "Grandma"...

When Lin Mu saw Long Ying, for some reason, the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart lifted, and he felt a strange sense of peace.

However, he seemed to see a hint of...greed in Long Ying's bright, golden dragon eyes!

"Lin Mu, you did very well this time!!" Long Ying came to Lin Mu's side, floated in mid-air, and after her head was level with Lin Mu's, she gently patted Lin Mu's shoulder with a look of senior's satisfaction and high regard for junior.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu's lips twitched, and he asked softly, "What did you sense?"

"Hehe... This time, I, the divine dragon, can fully enjoy an ancient battle!"

"After so long, we've finally reaped the rewards of our race's fortune!!" Long Ying's innocent little face was filled with joy.

Lin Mu frowned upon hearing Long Ying's words.

What does "Ancient War" mean?
What does "the harvest of racial destiny" mean?
"Among this beast tide, there is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts... Taotie!!" Long Ying said with a look of eager anticipation on her face.

"What?! Taotie?!" Lin Mu's pupils shrank sharply upon hearing this.

Although he had anticipated some changes, he hadn't expected them to be this significant... Could it be that this is why his Great Wilderness Mandate is now unusable?!
The Great Wilderness Mandate is a divine power of humanity, but what connection does the Taotie have with the power of humanity?
This Taotie might be quite special!

The mythological world is full of strange and wonderful things, so the appearance of the Four Fiends is not surprising. But what surprised Lin Mu was that the cause and effect of his upgrading the county town would bring out the Four Fiends!

"Perhaps it's not Qingyuan City that's strange... but the Taihang Mountains, no, it should be called the Seven Desolate Mountains?!"

A magnificent fantasy scene from ancient times appeared in Lin Mu's mind, and he gradually understood what Long Ying had said earlier.

"If you defeat the Taotie, you will gain the destiny of your race?" Lin Mu's face lost its composure and instead showed a hint of solemnity.

Isn't this just like a war between Tao and the Dao?

“That’s right…” Long Ying nodded.

"What level of strength did you sense in it?" Lin Mu asked again.

"It's currently at the eleventh level of the Divine General, but it's one of the Four Ancient Ferocious Beasts, and it can unleash its power to the twelfth level of the Divine General," Long Ying said casually.

The dragon race and the four ferocious beasts are actually unaffected by the Creation Martial Vein; only humans and other races are affected. Therefore, their strength can continuously increase. And her strength has also been continuously increasing...

"Tell me honestly what level you've reached now!" Lin Mu asked in a deep voice.

"I am also at the eleventh level of the Divine General! However, if I unleash my power, I can reach the thirteenth level of the Divine General!" Long Ying proudly raised her head and said in a childish voice.

Lin Mu was shocked when he heard Long Ying reveal her true strength.

He never imagined that the little guy who used to just hang around at home had grown up to this extent!

While the support from the Great Wilderness Territory played a role in Long Ying's growth to this level, she certainly wouldn't have reached this level without their help alone... She might not even be a Ten-Yuan Divine General... Long Ying must have relied on her own racial foundation to grow to this level.

What Lin Mu didn't know was just how weak could someone be that could make Lü Bu stop in his tracks and not even dare to fight?
"Your burst can increase your strength by two levels, while Taotie only increases it by one level. Does that mean your background is deeper than his?" Lin Mu asked a question he had always wanted to ask, which was about Long Ying's true background.

"Of course!!" Long Ying puffed out her chest proudly.

The existence that could be more terrifying than the four ancient ferocious beasts is definitely not the dragon he faced in his previous life!

Perhaps Long Ying was born on Yinglong Peak in her previous life, but she grew up too fast and left Shenzhou, where she was later replaced by an Yinglong.

“This time, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts has arrived, along with a small azure dragon at the level of a ninth-grade divine general… Just keep a close eye on them,” Long Ying added.

"What?!?" Lin Mu was shocked again upon hearing this.

He never expected such an overpowered mythical beast to appear!
Lin Mu glanced at Yu Jin, who was busy at work, and a look of speechlessness flashed across his face.

He anticipated the appearance of divine beasts, but they should not exceed the level of a Spirit Fusion General, so he specially arranged for Yu Jin to come and oversee the situation.

As for Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and others, they were to be treated as a mobile team, going to provide support wherever there was a major crisis.

Now, Qingyuan City is facing a major crisis...

Lin Mu took a deep breath and quickly sent a message to Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and others.

This time, he will gather all his generals and fight a good battle against the beings of the Seven Desolate Mountains!
Taking into account the current situation, he had a guess in his mind: his establishment of the Yun Dynasty territory within the Seven Desolate Mountains actually touched upon the interests of certain entities within the Seven Desolate Mountains, just like his establishment of a subordinate territory on the Great Grassland!
"Pass down the order: triple the number of craftsmen repairing the city walls and gates!" Lin Mu issued another new order.

Afterwards, he dispatched the Star Legion and the Nine Suns Legion to provide support.

The figures of Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, and others all appeared at the teleportation array and quickly headed towards the north city wall.

"Boom!~~~~" Half an incense stick's time after Lin Mu gave the order, a huge roar came from the depths of the mountains.

The news of the beast tide has officially arrived...

You must understand that the depths of the mountain range are filled with towering peaks and colossal trees, as well as deep ravines. Even high-ranking martial generals like Earth-ranked generals dare not venture there casually... The commotion we're witnessing now is definitely not caused by an ordinary herd of ferocious beasts...

"Roar!~~~~" Further away from Qingyuan City, in the unclogged mountain peaks and valleys, the roar of beasts also rang out.

"Boom!~~~~" An even closer roar shook in.

Soon, one ferocious beast after another galloped out of the mountains and forests, all rushing towards the walls of Qingyuan City.

The first wave of the beast tide did not come from the depths of the mountains, but from ferocious beasts that emerged from the vicinity, enveloped by a terrifying aura.

These beasts are generally not very strong. Although there are a few ferocious beasts at the Heavenly Rank Martial General level and quite a few at the Earthly Rank and Profound Rank, they do not exceed a thousand. Although there are tens of thousands of other ordinary-level beasts, they can still hold their own.

"Archers, prepare!"

"Don't move the ballistae for now!!" Yu Jin's voice echoed above the city wall.

On the city wall, there were mountains of arrows, huge boulders, thick logs, and even a lot of specially made metal nets... Yes, this was to guard against flying beasts.

Oil was scarce, as it wasn't very effective during the beast siege. Unlike human soldiers, these beasts, even when engulfed in flames, could be temporarily protected by their tough skin. Driven mad, they would even continue charging until burned to death…

Preparing specific tools for specific situations is what preparation is all about.

On the city wall, the guards were lined up in an orderly manner and cooperated in a well-organized way.

Meanwhile, in the valley of the City Lord's Mansion, 400,000 Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guards were also on high alert.

They were about to face the Legion of Heroes.

Based on the previous experience, the number of heroic spirits besieging True Dragon City was about 3000000, with the highest combat power being a One Yuan Divine General. Therefore, the number of heroic spirits besieging Qingyuan City this time is roughly the same.

He Yuan, the deputy commander of the Qingyang Legion, is in the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guard. He is responsible for dealing with heroic spirits at the level of divine generals.

The preparations for the Great Wilderness Territory were actually quite thorough and targeted; it was just that the unexpected variables came up too much...

"Boom!!!" Soon, the first wave of beasts emerged from the mountainside of a high peak.

"Crack! Crack!" Countless towering ancient trees were crushed, and flying sand and stones formed a violent cloud of dust, resembling a giant beast. "Fire!!!" As soon as the wave of ferocious beasts approached, Yu Jin immediately ordered an attack.

Lin Mu also took out his bow and arrows to help, shooting at the fastest-moving ferocious beasts regardless of their strength.

Qingyuan City doesn't have a moat, but it's not without protection either; those natural mountains serve as a moat for defense...

For ordinary human legions to attack a city, they would have to cross many mountains, and there are not many places to set up camp, so the conditions would be extremely harsh.

"Whoosh!!!" Countless arrows shot out from the city wall, fiercely striking the ferocious beasts.

After firing an arrow, Lin Mu glanced around and estimated that the first wave of beasts numbered only around three or four thousand, with the highest being at the Heavenly Rank, making them easy to deal with. The species were also quite diverse, including wolves, lions, tigers, pangolins, and more.

"Clang! Clang!~~~" Many ferocious beasts have scales on their surface, making them incredibly defensive. Even when hit by more than a dozen arrows, their defenses were not breached.

However, not all ferocious beasts possess strong defenses. Some beasts, whose defenses are merely superficial, such as wolves, foxes, fierce sheep, vicious tigers, and red lions, have only average defensive capabilities. The arrow rain is primarily used against these creatures.

However, they were very resilient; after three waves of arrows, only a thousand or so ferocious beasts were killed.

The ferocious Yu Jin leaped off the city wall, displaying both skill and daring, and charged directly into the beast tide. With lightning speed, he killed three Heavenly Rank beasts and hundreds of other beasts charging ahead.

"My lord!" Just as Lin Mu and the others had finished off the last ferocious beast, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, and the others finally arrived at the city wall.

Yu Jin directed his soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield, collecting the carcasses of thousands of ferocious beasts.

In this battle, the only casualties in the Great Wilderness territory were Yu Jin with a little blood on his body and a few arrows.

"Roar!~~~" However, the roar of the beasts from the depths of the mountains grew closer and closer, and a terrifying sense of oppression gradually came over them.

Just then, a terrifying black shadow, like a dark cloud, rapidly spread from the horizon.

With the enhancement of their Yuan energy, everyone's vision extended far, far away. What they saw was not dark clouds, but a very, very large tiger...

However, the head is very strange; it's not a tiger's head, but a human head!
It has a head that is very similar to Sun Wukong's, with tiger fur on both sides of the human face.

Its body is covered in coarse, stiff, long hairs of mixed dark brown and gray. Some of the hairs are so long that they split a mountain peak in two when they brush against it.

Its quality is more terrifying than steel needles; ordinary knives and arrows cannot penetrate it, making it like a natural heavy armor.

Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and the others felt a chill run down their spines upon witnessing this scene. They were no match for him!

The shadowy figure drew closer, and everyone could see its eyes.

Those were tiger eyes, flashing with ferocity, fixed on Lin Mu on the city wall. A low roar came from its throat, and it walked on air with all four feet. Every time it crossed a mountain peak, the giant trees on the peak collapsed and made a loud noise.

This is the Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts!

"Roar!~~~" The Taotie raised its head and let out a deafening roar. Two terrifying, huge fangs, possibly tens of feet long, suddenly appeared in its blood-red maw.

With a sudden stomp of its four limbs, the Taotie, its entire body and fangs carrying a world-destroying aura, crashed straight into the north wall of Qingyuan City.

If there had been no resistance, this single attack might have destroyed Qingyuan City!

"Boom!!!" The Taotie flew in the sky, but the mountains and valleys below its flight path were all flattened by its momentum, leaving a huge ravine.

And from within the ravine, terrifying figures appeared one after another.

It seems like the Taotie is paving the way for the beast tide!

"Roar!!!" At this moment, a loud dragon roar suddenly appeared, shattering the oppressive feeling and allowing everyone to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Taotie's enormous eyes didn't turn around, but shifted slightly and saw Long Ying next to Lin Mu.

Immediately, everyone clearly saw that the huge eye suddenly shrank, and a look of shock appeared on its face.

Long Ying could sense Taotie's presence, but Taotie only sensed Long Ying's presence when it got close, which shows how big the difference was between the two.

Long Ying grinned at the shadowy figure, and Taotie, seeing this, also looked up and roared at the sky.

"Roar!!!" The crimson eyes locked onto Long Ying in mid-air, and let out a roar full of battle intent. The sound made many soldiers on the city wall cover their ears.

A dazzling golden dragon aura instantly rose from Long Ying's body, spreading around the city wall and protecting the soldiers.

Otherwise, that roar alone might have turned many soldiers into a bloody mist.

Now that the main character has arrived, let's fight!

Long Ying flew towards Taotie and quickly arrived in front of it, facing Taotie from a distance. Her childish voice, filled with intense fighting spirit, came down: "Lin Mu, leave Taotie to me. You guys handle the rest. You must guard it well... Whether I can win or not also depends on your help."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden dragon's body swelled to several thousand feet, completely obscuring the nearby sky.

Then, the golden dragon, with its overwhelming dragon might, charged straight towards the Taotie, thus beginning a battle for the fate of the race.

"My lord, their battle won't affect this place, will it..." Wang Yue, who was closely following Lin Mu, had a solemn expression on his face.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a battle between mythical beasts!

Just as Wang Yue asked the question, the two colossal beasts that blotted out the sky suddenly disappeared, and the blazing sun reappeared.

In reality, the system certainly wouldn't allow such battles to occur randomly around cities; otherwise, if all the cities of the land were affected and destroyed, how could there be any development left?

As soon as the two mythical beasts disappeared, everyone felt a significant weight lifted off their shoulders.

Their enormous size and terrifying aura weighed heavily on their hearts.

Even if the aftershocks of the battle didn't affect them, their mere presence in the sky could still impact three-tenths of their combat strength!
"Boom!~~~~" Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the beast tide they were about to face truly arrived!

From the gaping ravine, countless ferocious beasts charged forth.

Similar to the first wave of ferocious beasts, their species are also very diverse.

Everyone looked intently and saw that the twelve giant beasts were charging at the forefront.

Giant tigers, giant apes, giant bears, and giant wolves. Three of each species, exactly twelve...

Their aura surpassed that of ordinary divine generals!
Good heavens! Besides the two that exceeded the limit, there were actually twelve mythical beasts!!
The largest of them was a giant black bear, whose aura had reached the level of a seventh-level Divine General!

This beast tide has reached an unprecedented level in the history of the Great Wilderness Territory!
"Roar!!!" The giant beasts roared excitedly as they saw the outline of the city.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu and his group on the city wall frowned deeply.

The azure dragon at the peak of the Divine General level did not appear!

It's definitely here, it's just hiding.

Without Long Ying's investigation, Lin Mu and the others would never have realized that a real dragon was hiding among them.

Even Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci wouldn't dare to face a true dragon attack at the level of a Nine-Yuan Divine General!
