Chapter 365: Where Is My Beast Tide?

Starfall Town.

On the rooftop of an unremarkable business hotel.

They had somehow dragged an abandoned sofa up and placed it on the roof.

Augustine and Samuel sat leisurely on the sofa, looking utterly refined.

Raj from the Land of the Sun held a telescope, staring fixedly toward the Thousand-Weight Pavilion on Thousand-Forging Street.

Just then.

"Holy crap?"

Raj let out a startled cry.

"My lord!"

"Look over there!"

"What the hell is that thing over at the Thousand-Weight Pavilion?"

Hearing Raj's cry.

Augustine and Samuel both raised their heads, following the direction Raj pointed.

The next moment.

Both of them felt their pupils shrink.

There, high above the distant Thousand-Weight Pavilion.

In broad daylight.

An extremely dazzling pillar of light suddenly erupted!

Five utterly distinct colors remained clearly visible even under the blazing sun, swirling and intertwining wildly in the sky like an aurora.

"This..."

"What kind of strange phenomenon is this?"

"In broad daylight, forging iron can produce an aurora? That commotion is way too exaggerated!"

Raj's face was filled with confusion and shock.

Samuel stared at that multicolored sky, silent for a moment.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"This should be the heavenly and earthly phenomenon triggered by the birth of a perfect five-element attribute, as legend says."

Samuel narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Judging by this commotion."

"Lin Mo's Forbidden-grade specialized weapon is probably about to be forged successfully."

Upon hearing these words.

Raj froze completely in place.

"F-five-element perfect attribute?!"

"My lord Samuel, are you joking?"

"A five-element perfect attribute?"

"Does anyone really achieve such a thing?!"

"Wasn't it said that dual-element balance is the human limit? How many brains does Lin Mo have to balance all five elements?"

At this moment.

Augustine beside him let out a cold sneer, cutting through Raj's shock.

"Enough."

"Stop guessing blindly."

Augustine glanced at Samuel beside him and spoke calmly:

"It might not necessarily be a five-element perfect attribute."

"Who told you that a five-element perfect attribute would produce such a phenomenon?"

After all.

In the entire history of human forging, no one has ever accomplished this feat.

No one at all knows what the phenomenon of a five-element perfect attribute actually looks like.

Hearing Augustine's words.

Samuel shrugged indifferently.

"Whatever."

"It doesn't matter."

He leaned back relaxedly against the sofa, his tone full of confidence.

"Even if this phenomenon really is a five-element perfect attribute."

"So what?"

Samuel let out a scoffing laugh.

"In the end, Lin Mo is just a high-tier mage right now; even if you give him an artifact, he's still just a high-tier mage."

"In front of us, there's no difference."

Hearing these words.

Raj instantly switched to a sycophantic smile.

"My lord speaks the absolute truth!"

"As long as Lin Mo remains at the high-tier level."

"Under the hands of Lord Samuel and Lord Augustine, both Super-Class experts, he is nothing but a fart!"

"For you two lords to crush him is as simple as crushing an ant!"

Hearing Raj's flattery.

Augustine raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but joke:

"Heh heh."

"Raj."

"I haven't yet seen what other skills your people of Tianzhu possess."

"But your skill at sucking up is indeed quite profound."

Being teased by Augustine like this.

Raj scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and let out two dry laughs.

"Hehe..."

"Lord Augustine overestimates me."

"These are all words from the bottom of my heart, just the truth!"

Just then.

The rusty iron door on the rooftop was pushed open by someone.

Third Brother Shar walked in with a hurried expression.

"Lord Augustine!"

"Lord Samuel!"

"Big Brother!"

Shar walked quickly to the front of the group and greeted them respectfully.

Samuel glanced at Shar.

"How is it?"

"What is the current situation with that outdoor BOSS outside the city?"

Shar immediately straightened his back and reported:

"Replying to my lord!"

"That outdoor BOSS, everything is proceeding very smoothly!"

"Our 'Accelerated Hourglass' effect is extremely good; the ley line energy in that area has completely boiled over."

Shar paused for a moment.

"It is estimated that tonight, this outdoor BOSS will fully spawn!"

"Bahao is still watching closely; there will absolutely be no mistakes!"

Hearing this progress.

Samuel nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm."

"Very good."

"Once the BOSS spawns and triggers a massive beast tide to attack the city, that old fellow Feng Cangqiong will absolutely not be able to sit idly by."

"Once he leaves Lin Mo's side."

"It will be Lin Mo's time of death."

However.

After hearing Samuel's words.

Shar's expression appeared somewhat hesitant and conflicted.

"Uh..."

"Lord Samuel..."

"It is smooth, it is smooth, but..."

Shar hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

Seeing Shar's stammering appearance.

Samuel frowned, and his face instantly grew cold.

"But what?"

"Speak if you have words."

Seeing this, the eldest brother Raj nearby immediately kicked Shar on the buttocks and scolded angrily:

"You fool!"

"In front of two lords, what deep pretense are you putting on?"

"So indecisive, do you want to die?!"

Being kicked by the big brother like this.

Shar shivered all over and dared not hesitate any longer.

"My lord..."

"There is bad news."

"Last night, Bahao and I patrolled several circles outside the city; for some reason, the wild monsters within a thirty-kilometer radius of Castling Town..."

"Are all gone!"

"?"

"All gone?"

Augustin frowned, seemingly unable to understand what Shar was saying.

Upon hearing this, Shar nodded heavily and continued:

"Yes, my lord Augustin!"

"It's as if locusts had passed through; not even a single monster's hair can be found!"

"Even though the wilderness respawns at regular intervals."

"But given the current respawn speed."

"By the time the BOSS respawns tonight, the scattered mobs around it will absolutely be insufficient to form a beast tide!"

With these words spoken.

The entire rooftop instantly fell into a silence as dead as death.

Both Samuel and Augustin's faces darkened.

Insufficient to form a beast tide; this was simply a death sentence.

For a town.

The harm of a wilderness BOSS, if judged solely by the BOSS itself, is actually not great.

No matter which town's city guard, as long as it is not a too-remote village.

There are at least twenty or more powerful figures stationed locally who possess high-tier skills.

Twenty or more high-tier experts joining forces are completely sufficient to handle an ordinary wilderness BOSS.

What truly poses a fatal threat to a town.

Is the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of demons attracted by the earth vein energy that arrive alongside the BOSS's descent!

That dense, sky-covering beast tide!

This is what is truly deadly!

One must know.

High-level professionals, although powerful in strength and possessing skills of great might.

But so-called high-tier experts, the vast majority, only master one or two high-tier skills.

Moreover.

Releasing high-tier skills consumes mental energy, and the cooldown time is long, often starting at several minutes.

Furthermore, most high-tier experts' mastered high-tier skills are single-target damage.

Therefore, when a wilderness BOSS appears, what is truly fatal is the massive and terrifying beast tide that accompanies it.

Relying solely on a few dozen high-tier experts is absolutely insufficient to cope.

It is very likely that just as they finish unleashing a round of skills, before the cooldown has even reset, they will be directly charged by the beast tide surging up behind them.
