The Blazing Valley was a scene of utter devastation.

Chen Fan looked around and saw that there were no longer any living Flame Eagles.

Even the corpses from before were blasted to dust by the terrifying sonic waves of the Vajra Lion's Roar.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The elimination of bloodthirsty ants and gorillas signifies that threats from underground have been dealt with in advance.

The elimination of the Flaming Eagle signifies the removal of the threat from the air.

With the two major threats to Anshan City eliminated, tomorrow I only need to focus on dealing with the beast tide outside the city.

"It was easier than I expected."

He looked away and muttered to himself.

I originally thought that clearing out these Flame Eagles would be a tough battle.

Just then, they discovered baby birds and unhatched eggs on the mountain peak, and used this opportunity to lure them all down.

If these fiery eagles remain unmoved, the difficulty will indeed increase considerably.

"In this respect, they're quite similar to us humans."

Chen Fan murmured.

The top experts in the Yan Kingdom can come and go as they please.

Even if the entire Yan Kingdom fell, the so-called beast tide still couldn't stop them.

However, most strong people have attachments.

They can come and go as they please, but their families may not be.

Leaving aside those far away, let's talk about himself.

If Anshan City ultimately falls, he will have to take his family with him when he flees for his life.

"Buzz, buzz."

Just as he was lost in thought, his cell phone suddenly started vibrating.

"Is that Chairman Chang?"

Upon seeing the incoming caller ID on his phone screen, Chen Fan's eyes revealed a knowing look.

He had probably already guessed why the latter had made the call to him.

A warm feeling washed over me, and I took a deep breath before answering the phone.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, Chang Fei's anxious voice rang out.

"Brother Chen, the beast tide has broken out! You need to pack your things quickly, take your family, and get to Jiangnan City as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another familiar voice rang out.

"Brother Chen, hurry! It would be best to set off before noon. At your speed, you should arrive before evening. Of course, if you need any help, just let us know, and we'll come to meet you right away!"

It was Shen Si's voice, and her tone was even more urgent than Chang Fei's.

After all, Chen Fan had saved his life and had even offended the Song family, so he didn't want to see anything happen to Chen Fan.

Although he already knew what was going on, Chen Fan still feigned shock and asked, "What? A beast tide? A beast tide is about to break out?"

"yes!"

Chang Fei emphasized, "The Grand Master only learned of this this morning. As soon as he found out, he immediately asked me to inform you. Based on the satellite images, the beast tide may reach the vicinity of your Anshan City within two or three days."

I know that your Anshan City has experienced several beast tides before and managed to withstand them all, but this time is different.

He swallowed hard. "Because this beast tide is far larger than before, let alone a small city like Anshan City, even a medium-sized city would be in trouble."

even……

Even large cities like Jiangnan City could fall.

If things really come to that, then the situation of the Yan Kingdom can truly be described as precarious.

"What...this actually happened?"

Chen Fan exclaimed in surprise, then his voice abruptly stopped, as if he had crashed.

"yes."

Shen Si sighed, "The weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant. All of this happened so suddenly. However, this day was bound to come sooner or later. Our human race and the ferocious beasts are irreconcilable enemies. Both sides are accumulating strength, wanting to completely annihilate the other. But Brother Chen, now is not the time to lament these things."

He urged, "Are you out hunting outside the city, or are you still in the city? If you're outside, hurry back, tell your family, and then bring them here."

"Yes, Brother Chen, don't worry, we'll take care of everything for you once you arrive."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally managed to get the message through.

I'm sure Brother Chen will rush to headquarters as soon as he realizes what's happening.

After he arrived...

The two were filled with anticipation.

Chang Fei was thinking that, over the past few days, Chen Fan might have improved some pill formula, and then the headquarters' pill refining level would rise significantly.

If Elder Tang and the others knew this news, they would probably rush over as well.

Shen thought that once Chen Fan arrived, he would definitely treat him to a meal to thank him for saving his life last time.

At the same time, if the latter doesn't mind, he would like to ask about his experience in cultivating the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique.

Of course, Ling Yu might not be too happy.

But at this point, there's no time to worry about that anymore.

However, the next second, the two of them froze, unable to believe their ears.

"Presidents, I understand your good intentions, but I'm afraid I can't get away for the time being," Chen Fan said apologetically.

There was a near ten-second silence on the other end of the phone before Chang Fei's puzzled voice finally came through, "How come you can't get away?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, have you encountered some danger?"

Shen Si's expression changed drastically.

Could it be that what happened in the rainforest a couple of days ago has been exposed?

At this point, were the Chen brothers already being targeted by the Song family?

After all, that matter had practically spread throughout the industry, and in the past few days, the Song family had mobilized a great deal of manpower and resources to investigate it.

No, not at all.

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. He then sighed and said, "I know a lot of people here. If I were to abandon them and leave on my own, not only would my family find it hard to accept, but my family would also find it difficult to accept."

Moreover, there are over 100,000 people in the city. If, as the Grand Master says, the beast tide will arrive in two or three days, then nine out of ten thousand of them will not survive. Therefore, I want to try and see if we can hold the city and reduce casualties.

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Chang Fei and his companion were filled with awe.

So, as Brother Chen said, he couldn't get away.

Is it to protect everyone in Ansan City?

"Ugh."

Chang Fei sighed and advised, "Brother Chen, your heart is good, but I'm not trying to discourage you, but you can't change anything. Even if you manage to hold on, what then? At most, it will only allow those tens of thousands of people to live a few more days, and then what?"

The beast tide is endless; it will relentlessly surge towards the city like a tidal wave. Your stamina is limited; once it's depleted, even you will be in mortal danger.

"Yes, Brother Chen, back then we were just like you, unable to bear watching so many ordinary people die. But after experiencing all this, we realized that human strength is ultimately limited. Sometimes, it's very difficult for us to even keep ourselves alive, let alone take others with us."

"We haven't reached the end of our rope yet, have we?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"If that day really comes, it won't be too late for me to leave with my family, will it?"

"Brother Chen, it's not as simple as you think."

Chang Fei was helpless.

"If you come now, there will be some ferocious beasts on the way, but they will generally not exceed the elite level and their numbers will be limited. If you wait until the surrounding cities are conquered, then the road from Anshan City to Jiangnan City will be full of ferocious beasts, including many commander-level and even beast king-level beasts."

"Yes, Brother Chen, stop talking so much. You should hurry back, pack your things, and bring your family over. Any delay could cause problems!"

Shen Si urged him again.

"Presidents,"

Chen Fan smiled. "Don't worry, when that day really comes, I won't joke with my life. Until then, let me try. Even if I can hold on for just one more day, it'll be good, won't it?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for their reply.

"?"

"Hanged up? Hung up?"

In the conference room, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother Chen, do you think we're joking and don't realize how serious this is?" Chang Fei asked.

"I don't think so."

Shen Si blinked. He felt that the two of them had made things clear enough on the phone, hadn't they?

"Try calling again."

As Chang Fei spoke, he dialed the number again.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Fan's voice rang out first.

"President Chang, I know the beast tide is about to erupt, and this time the scale is extraordinary. However, I still want to try my best, even if it can only delay it for a few days in the end."

"..."

Chang Fei opened his mouth, feeling as if everything he wanted to say had already been said.

After a moment, he said, "Brother Chen, it's best not to do this. Or, you could send your family here first, and then go back yourself."

"Yes, Brother Chen, you should send your family over first. If things really get out of control, you can come and go as you please."

Chen Fan knew exactly what they were up to.

It's easy to go there, but it will probably be difficult to come back.

Of course, it cannot be denied that this suggestion is actually the best.

If he lacks the strength, he can indeed do that.

However, he still had some confidence in himself. If the day came when he could no longer hold out, it wouldn't be difficult to lead his family through the encirclement of the beast tide.

"Alright, presidents, I believe you both understand that once I make a decision, I will not change it. So there's no need for you to try to persuade me anymore, nor is there any need to tell the president of the association to call and persuade me. I will not joke about my own safety or that of my family, so please don't worry."

After saying that, he hung up the phone again.

"this……"

The two people in the meeting room looked at each other again.

"Should we call again?"

"It seems unnecessary."

After he finished speaking, both of them wore wry smiles.

Yes, having dealt with Chen Fan so many times, they knew very well that the latter was like a donkey, incredibly stubborn.

He made it very clear on the phone that his decision would not change, not even if the president called, let alone them.

"Brother Chen has this temper, and so does the president. Are all these geniuses like this?" Chang Fei suddenly said.

"Most likely."

Shen Si nodded. "If these people didn't have this kind of self-control and were easily influenced by external factors, they probably wouldn't have gotten this far."

"That's true."

Chang Fei wholeheartedly agreed.

But then I felt a headache coming on.

Notifying Brother Chen to evacuate Anshan City was a task given to him by the guild leader. It didn't sound difficult; after all, any normal person would know what to do.

However, he failed to complete the task.

"What should we do?"

He asked.

"What else can we do?"

Shen Si smiled wryly, "I can only tell the president this news and hope that he can find a way to persuade him."

"That's the only way."

Chang Fei nodded.

I tried calling Shi Tao, but no one answered.

Left with no other choice, he could only send a few messages.

After doing all this, he still said anxiously, "I hope the meeting with the chairman can end soon, otherwise it will be bad if we see it too late."

"Yes, I hope so."

Shen Si said this, but she wasn't sure herself.

Based on his previous experiences, he could roughly guess the content of the meetings the chairman would attend.

Faced with the beast tide, the powerful figures of Yan Kingdom who live in large and mega-cities cannot simply sit idly by and wait for the beasts to arrive beneath their cities.

Therefore, a decapitation operation will begin.

In terms of attrition, the number of ferocious beasts is hundreds or thousands of times greater than the remaining human population in Yan Kingdom. Under the command of those beast king-level and commander-level ferocious beasts, they can wear down even the strongest human warriors to death.

Therefore, the strong human race would form teams to kill those beast king-level and commander-level ferocious beasts.

Once the latter dies, the remaining ferocious beasts are just a disorganized mess, and they might even trample each other.

Meanwhile, the surrounding small and medium-sized cities can delay the beast tide and buy them enough time.

Such a plan might not be able to be completed in an hour, or even a whole day, let alone an hour.

"If all else fails, I'll go wait at the city lord's mansion."

Chang Fei also thought of this and looked at Shen Si, saying, "Old Shen, while I'm away, I'll be leaving the association's affairs to you."

"Okay, don't worry."

Shen Si nodded.

The two walked out of the conference room together. They hadn't gone far when a man came running towards them. When he saw Shen Si, his eyes lit up.

"President Chang."

He first greeted Chang Fei, then looked at Shen Si and said, "President Shen, the Song family has arrived. They say they want to see you and have some questions for you. What do you think?"

"The Song family?"

Chang Fei was taken aback.

Is it the Song family?

Shen Si's brain buzzed.

These past few days, he has been having recurring dreams of being captured by the Song family and forced to reveal the identity of Song Gang's killer. When he wakes up, he is drenched in a cold sweat.

Is this day finally coming?

No, no, we mustn't lose our composure.

He thought to himself that if the Song family knew that Song Gang's death was related to him, they would never have been so polite.

Moreover, they had done everything perfectly that day, and there were no witnesses, so it was impossible for them to be discovered.
