Chapter 296: The Blood Demon Coughing Up Blood from Anger

"The Beast Tide currently appearing consists only of Fifth-tier Exotic Beasts; let's wait until the Seventh-tier Exotic Beasts arrive before we talk."

"Conduct a thorough inspection of all potential risks and hidden dangers within Nantianmen Fortress, such as whether any Earth Type Exotic Beasts might have intentionally dug a large hole underground."

"I have encountered Earth Type Exotic Beasts that dug a hole from the ground, bypassed the moat directly, and charged out from the other end, so we must be vigilant this time."

"Pet Beast Masters who possess the talent to turn earth into steel or stone must be the first to reinforce the defenses of Nantianmen Fortress."

Zhang Dashan spoke the next sentence with a solemn expression.

"The incident where Nantianmen was breached must absolutely never happen a second time."

The event of Nantianmen Fortress being breached has always been an indelible memory in Zhang Dashan's heart.

It also cost the lives of countless Pet Beast Masters to retake Nantianmen Fortress.

Many powerful Pet Beast Masters left their lives on this land.

That incident was too severe, and to this day, Zhang Dashan finds it difficult to let go.

"Everyone, divide up your tasks."

"Jiaomu Jiao, Fang Ri Tu, Xin Yue Hu, listen to my orders."

"The three of you take the other Tier 7 Beast Tamers who have come to support us and each take charge of one wave of the Beast Tide."

Zhang Dashan's gaze turned toward the dark, oppressive sky in the distance.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder; this was not a natural phenomenon, but an endless swarm of Wind Type Exotic Beasts circling in the air.

The creatures causing this celestial anomaly were very special Exotic Beasts: Thunderbirds.

One Thunderbird after another caught the lightning in the air and chased after it.

Thunderbirds were wrapped in golden electric arcs, and most could discharge Ten Thousand Volts of electricity.

Their claws were golden, wrapped in layer upon layer of electric arcs.

Although Thunderbirds are Fifth-tier Exotic Beasts, the endless gathering of them creates a level of destruction even more terrifying than a Sixth-tier Exotic Beast.

If the next wave is an attack by Thunderbirds, it will be a major disaster for Nantianmen Fortress.

Zhang Dashan did not want to see history repeat itself.

The destructive power of the Thunderbirds is too great.

At this moment, Han Yan, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

He was the former strongest general of Nantianmen Fortress and the contractor of an Eighth-tier Titan Giant.

After Zhang Dashan arrived at Nantianmen Fortress, he took over control of the Nantianmen campaign.

And Han Yan became Zhang Dashan's deputy.

A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and a confident smile emerged on his face.

"Officer Zhang, for so many years, in order to prevent sieges by electric-type Exotic Beasts, we have specifically invented large-scale power storage devices."

"We have also invented Beast Cards specifically for hunting electric-type Exotic Beasts."

Han Yan appeared completely confident.

Many electric-type Exotic Beasts are considered renewable energy; they live by chasing thunderclouds and can absorb the electricity within them.

Therefore, they specifically developed Beast Cards capable of capturing electric-type Exotic Beasts.

In the Yishou Zhanchang, some Pet Beast Masters will capture Exotic Beasts in a planned manner and will not wipe out all the beasts.

Therefore, for Pet Beast Masters, the Yishou Zhanchang is both a crisis and an opportunity.

If they can contract or capture a powerful Exotic Beast, it is considered a step toward greatness for them.

A smile appeared on Han Yan's weather-beaten face: "The Ten Thousand Volts from electric-type Exotic Beasts will pass through lightning rods and fall into the large-scale power storage devices."

"As a backup energy reserve for the protective shield, we have even invented a treasure called a Thunder Stone."

The Thunder Stone is actually the carrier for the large-scale power storage device, developed specifically for storing electric current.

A single Thunder Stone can withstand Ten Million Volts of electricity; they are one meter in diameter and are protected by super-alloy metal during transport.

The electrical energy stored in a Thunder Stone can be converted through specific devices; one fully charged Thunder Stone is enough to supply a large city for half a month of consumption.

Zhang Dashan was once the supreme commander of Nantianmen Fortress, and Han Yan was once Zhang Dashan's subordinate.

He also experienced the incident where Nantianmen Fortress was breached, and it was only after Zhang Dashan used a forbidden spell that they counterattacked and retook Nantianmen Fortress.

At that time, it was because of the siege by electric-type Exotic Beasts; the firepower was simply too intense, and many Pet Beast Masters were wounded in the battle.

Coupled with the intervention of the Lava Dragon Turtle, Nantianmen Fortress changed hands.

However, because the counterattack was timely, the buildings of Nantianmen Fortress did not suffer much damage and could continue to serve as defensive walls, but many Pet Beast Masters in their prime were left on this land forever.

Therefore, Han Yan ordered the development of the Thunder Stone, which alleviated the pressure brought by the sieges of electric-type Exotic Beasts.

"Fang Ri Tu, Jiaomu Jiao, Xin Yue Hu, the three of you discuss how to defend."

"I will talk to Old Han first to see if there is a better way to resist the Exotic Beast offensive."

The two were old friends meeting again, and they had endless topics to discuss.

The Beast Tide is not continuous; there are certain gaps, and these times are perfect for rotating defenses.

When the commotion broke out at Nantianmen Fortress, ripples also appeared in the remaining five large Exotic Beast battlefields.

This put great pressure on Yan Country.

"Let's start preparing the battle plan."

Jiaomu Jiao Zhang Jian became the commander of this city defense operation.

When Nantianmen Fortress issued a signal of extreme danger, many volunteers formed support troops and headed to Nantianmen Fortress.

This time, Lie Sha and Tank followed the first batch of support troops and arrived here.

Many Pet Beast Masters had already gathered in Nantianmen Fortress, including many famous figures, such as Metal Bullet, Thunder Hand, and so on.

They would become the first wave of the main force to resist the Beast Tide.

In the underground passage, Zhang Jie had just turned a corner when she saw a passage blocked by debris.

Countless discarded tables, chairs, and piles of scrap metal blocked the passageway densely.

And the exit was within reach.

With her own strength alone, it was impossible for her to move this debris.

"Damn it, is there no way out?"

"I finally managed to escape to this point; is it truly against fate that I must become a sacrifice for the Demon God?"

Zhang Jie muttered, her sharp teeth biting through her lip, and a trace of bright red blood fell from the wound, dripping onto the back of her hand.

She was unwilling to accept this; she truly was not.

Having finally crawled out of the coffin, she wanted to see her gentle sister.

Her sister had once shyly told her that she had taken a liking to someone.

She said that when she returned from the Nantianmen Fortress, she would take her to meet him.

Her sister wanted Zhang Jie to be her bridesmaid and offer her sincere blessings.

Unfortunately, she broke her promise and died in the prime of her youth.

And now that she had finally come back to life, she was to be used as a sacrifice for the Demon God.

For Zhang Jie, this was even more painful than death.

Once she was transformed into a Blood Demon, she would no longer be herself.

She would only become an immortal monster, loathed, feared, and cursed by humanity.

The sound of flapping wings came from behind; she had absolutely nowhere left to run. The Night Blood Bat Emperors had fully caught up, and they were looking at Zhang Jie with greedy eyes.

Zhang Jie felt that she had been marked as prey by the Night Blood Bat Emperors.

But she knew these Night Blood Bat Emperors wouldn't do anything to her; they would only drag her back.

After all, she had been chosen by the Blood Demon to be a sacrifice offered to the Demon God.

Just then, the heads of the Night Blood Bat Emperors near her burst open one after another, and the blood spread to form a thick mist.

The blood mist condensed in mid-air, forming a human shape.

Blood Magic: Blood Clone.

This is a technique that uses the blood of the familiars one has created to manufacture a blood clone.

A man as cautious and cowardly as the Blood Demon Dubo would never easily expose his true form in front of others.

Blood Demons, these exotic beasts from hell, are afraid of silver and holy water in addition to lightning and light-based skills.

Wounds on a Blood Demon caused by silver weapons never heal, and holy water is like concentrated sulfuric acid to them; enough holy water can dissolve their bodies into a pool of pus and blood.

A pair of tattered bat wings appeared behind him; he wore a black tailcoat and looked down at Zhang Jie from above.

His gaze scanned her up and down, lingering for a moment on Zhang Jie's human female assets.

She was indeed beautiful, full of charm, radiating the aura of a young girl, and emitting a sweet, fragrant scent.

Even Dubo felt he couldn't hold back after watching for too long, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

This peerless beauty was indeed suitable to be a sacrifice for the Demon God.

"As expected of the Eternal Diva, you are truly beautiful up close, like a briar rose that no one dares to desecrate."

"You have been surrounded by my army of Night Blood Bat Emperors; if you don't want to suffer, then surrender obediently."

"After all, I am a man who cherishes beauty, and I don't want to force you to do anything."

"You should know my intentions."

"Come, tell me your choice: will you choose the rose, or choose to be imprisoned by me in a cage of blood?"

The Blood Demon spread his hands, and blood condensed into a beautiful blood-red rose in his palm.

This blood-red rose emitted a bewitching glow; once Zhang Jie took it, she would be bound by the thorns emerging from the flower.

No matter which choice Zhang Jie made, the Blood Demon would not let her escape from his grasp again.

Zhang Jie swallowed hard, hardened her heart, and slowly reached her hand toward the blood-red rose.

She planned to unleash the Song of Extinction the moment the Blood Demon summoned the Demon God, taking him down with her.

"Come, little darling, become a sacrifice for the Demon God."

Zhang Jie's hand was about to touch the blood-red rose; the Blood Demon looked slightly smug, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

Very good, everything was under his control; there shouldn't be any surprises now.

When you don't expect an accident, an accident happens.

Just at that moment, a ripple appeared in the space.

Ye Bai rode in on the back of the Myriad-Change Silkworm, which emitted a blinding, intense light.

This made it impossible for the blood clone to see who the intruder was, and he shielded his eyes from the glare.

A large amount of black smoke rose from his hand, as if being burned by fire, and a series of blood blisters appeared instantly.

A commotion broke out among the Night Blood Bat Emperors as well, with large amounts of black energy pouring from their bodies.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm's main body and clone used the skill "Holy Light Radiance" simultaneously; the skill used by the main body is half as powerful as the clone's.

Therefore, this move by the Myriad-Change Silkworm dealt massive damage to the Night Blood Bat Emperors.

The light emitted by the Holy Light Radiance intensified once more.

"Eternal Diva, close your eyes quickly! Myriad-Change Silkworm, use Holy Light Radiance at maximum intensity!"

"Space Pelican, Spatial Teleportation!"

This series of combo moves was designed to safely and securely rescue Zhang Jie and get her out of there.

Light as bright as day illuminated the entire underground pipe.

The dark exotic beasts were all irritated by the intense light, emitting even more black smoke, and some of the Night Blood Bat Emperors in the front had already been reduced to ashes.

The full-strength Holy Light Radiance caused the Night Blood Bat Emperors besieging Zhang Jie to flee backward one after another.

The moment Du Bo's blood Clone touched the intense light, it was as if it were being scorched by a raging fire.

At this moment, the Eternal Diva suddenly felt the surrounding space undergo a transformation.

She appeared in a very unfamiliar room.

That white butterfly which had once rescued her had its body writhe for a moment, and it actually transformed into a plump, white Baibian Can that landed on the ground.

"This, this, this—such a beautiful white butterfly was actually evolved from a Baibian Can?"

Zhang Jie widened her eyes in an instant.

She felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Damn it, to actually dare to ruin my plan."

"And to have rescued Zhang Jie, it's infuriating, it's simply infuriating!"

The blood Clone covered its eyes and roared.

Being intercepted halfway, and crucially, not even seeing clearly who the person was, truly made Du Bo exceptionally furious.

He looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar, wanting to spew out all the pent-up frustration in his lungs.

However, the blood Clone did not dare to pursue, fearing it would ruin the main body's plan, so it could only dissipate on its own and transmit this memory to the main body.

When Xuemo Dubo learned that he had been intercepted, the goblet in his hand was crushed directly by him.

The shards of the goblet pierced deeply into his palm.

Yet no blood flowed out; instead, his wound writhed, and a large number of shards were squeezed out by the wound.

The shards fell into the Blood River and turned directly into ashes.

Before long, the wound had completely healed.

"Who on earth ruined my plan?"

"Who snatched away the sacrifice I had meticulously prepared?"

The Blood Demon was extremely furious at this moment, like a raging lion.

The Blood River roared, vibrated, and twisted, with a large number of whirlpools appearing.

Influenced by the Blood Demon, the entire Blood River erupted with numerous water spouts, and a scarlet Blood Mist emerged.

The Blood Demon was like a demon god crawling out of Hell, and he let out a powerless roar.

But he did not dare to just command the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor to charge up there.

Although the Blood Demon was a Tier 7 Exotic Beast, the Nantianmen Fortress possessed many Tier 7 Beast Tamers.

Just the Beast Tamers holding the title of Twenty-Eight Mansions numbered two, not to mention some Tier 7 Beast Tamers who did not yet have titles.

Just now, the Blood Demon had already learned that the person he had controlled with Spore and prepared to exterminate had actually recovered.

"Abominable, hateful, detestable!"

The red-faced and ear-flushed Blood Demon was almost so angry he was about to vomit blood.
