Chapter 100: A Terrifying Incident, the Beast Tide is Coming!

Let's look at the side of Nangong Zheng, Xiao Huohuo, Liu Bufan, and Li Qingqing.

"Boom, boom!"

Ye Bai's points surged to 145, and the four of them realized that if they didn't make a change, they would soon be overtaken by Ye Bai, so they all set off to hunt Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts.

The space inside the Dimensional Gate is very large, several times larger than the Safe Zone in the Jiangcheng Wilderness.

But the number of Alien Beasts is dozens of times that of the Safe Zone.

Therefore, with the four of them focused on hunting Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts, it was very easy to find targets.

"Why?!"

"I am at the Third Grade Peak just like Ye Bai, so why does it take him only a few minutes to kill a Fourth Grade Exotic Beast, while I can't even kill one in ten minutes?!"

"I, Nangong Zheng, have mastered the Great Success Level Wave-Breaking Spear Technique; could it be that I am weaker than Ye Bai?!"

However, after a bitter battle, Nangong Zheng completed his first kill of a Fourth Grade Exotic Beast and let out a roar on the spot!

"My guess was wrong; the Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts inside the Dimensional Gate are the same as the Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts outside, and their combat power is several times stronger than Third Grade Alien Beasts..."

"But the strength of the Alien Beasts is not the problem, so where did the problem arise?"

"Why can Ye Bai easily kill a dignified Fourth Grade Exotic Beast?!"

After completing his first kill, Xiao Huohuo stood where he was, panting heavily.

His mindset had also undergone a change.

"Am I really weaker than Ye Bai?!"

Liu Bufan's situation was slightly better; relying on his Third Grade Mental Power, the time he took to kill a Fourth Grade Exotic Beast was shorter than that of Nangong Zheng and Xiao Huohuo.

Yet, his mood remained unpleasant.

"The gap in strength between me and Ye Bai has grown even larger..."

Li Qingqing was the most emotionally stable, but even she couldn't help but purse her lips at this moment.

Especially after they opened the Leaderboard and took a look.

"Ye Bai points: 295"

"Nangong Zheng points: 203"

"Xiao Huohuo points: 200"

"Liu Bufan points: 200"

"Li Qingqing points: 190"

"Zhuge Yun points: 8"

Ten minutes passed, and the four people's points had all increased by 30 for hunting one Fourth Grade Exotic Beast.

Ye Bai's points, however, had surged by a full double, already reaching 295!

Back during the four's bitter struggle, he had already come from behind to take first place!

"How is this possible?!" Nangong Zheng could not help but be enraged.

"How could it be..." Xiao Huohuo was unwilling to accept this!

"Ye Bai... how did he do it?" Liu Bufan was filled with confusion!

Li Qingqing's beautiful eyes flickered!

And then...

The four of them buried their heads and set into motion again, searching for the next Fourth Grade Exotic Beast!

Li Qingqing did not want to have too large a gap with Ye Bai.

She had already realized that she couldn't match Ye Bai's points in this Ranking Tournament, but she wanted to try hard to narrow the distance between them.

Liu Bufan and Xiao Huohuo were unwilling to accept it and didn't want to admit defeat just like that.

"It's impossible; Ye Bai must have used some kind of Secret Technique with major side effects to temporarily boost his combat power, right?"

"I, Nangong Zheng, will definitely take back what I have lost!"

Nangong Zheng, for his part, was practically being driven mad with anger!

However.

The four of them soon found new Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts.

And this time, the time spent on the kills was even shorter.

The fastest, Liu Bufan, achieved a kill in five minutes.

The slowest, Li Qingqing, only took eight minutes.

As for Xiao Huohuo...

"Thump, thump!"

Having just exhausted his physical strength significantly from fighting the Fourth Grade Exotic Beast with his life, he stood in place, panting heavily.

Dense, rhythmic footsteps suddenly came from the distance!

"This is... many people coming over?"

At first, Xiao Huohuo didn't realize the severity of the situation, subconsciously assuming the footsteps were made by human Martial Artists.

"Wait, today in the Dimensional Gate, there are only students and Instructors; where would so many human Martial Artists come from?!"

Then he suddenly remembered something, and the hair all over his body stood on end!

Beast Tide!

A terrifying event that forms when the number of low-grade Alien Beasts inside a Dimensional Gate becomes too high and the space they live in is squeezed too much!

A massive wave of low-grade Alien Beasts will surge like a tide toward the entrance and exit of the Dimensional Gate!

"It's definitely a Beast Tide... otherwise, there's no explaining why there would be so many footsteps..."

"But how could a Beast Tide possibly break out?!"

"The 5th Dimensional Gate is the Dimensional Gate that Middle Three Grades Martial Artists in Jiangcheng love to visit most; a Beast Tide event has never broken out here before, otherwise the Instructors wouldn't have chosen to hold the Ranking Tournament here!!"

Cold sweat instantly streamed down Xiao Huohuo's forehead.

Then, he turned and ran!

It was not that he was timid.

The terror of a Beast Tide is not something one or two Martial Artists can block!

Even every time a Beast Tide event breaks out, despite the joint suppression by the Military Department and the Dragon Guard, there are still civilian Middle Three Grades Martial Artists who lose their lives!

This is the true reason why the status and benefits enjoyed by Middle Three Grades Martial Artists are higher than those of Lower Three Grades Martial Artists!

"Boom, boom!!"

However, he fled in front, and the Beast Tide chased from behind.

Xiao Huohuo looked back and was stunned to discover that the distance between him and the Beast Tide behind was shortening bit by bit!

"A pack of Velociraptor Alien Beasts, there are even Fourth-Rank Velociraptors inside..."

Looking back, he realized that the leader was a type of Alien Beast with extremely fast speed,

a Third-Rank Velociraptor, whose movement speed could rival a Fourth Grade Martial Artist!

His whole body felt uncontrollably cold!

"Help..."

Then he pressed the Bracelet on his hand twice, choosing to call for help, which meant giving up on this Ranking Tournament.

He was very unwilling, but he knew that being caught by the Beast Tide behind was almost equivalent to certain death!

Because the rescue mechanism was triggered, the Bracelet flickered with dots of red light.

One minute, two minutes...

Five minutes passed, and Xiao Huohuo realized an even more terrifying thing.

The rescue function had lost its effect.

"How could this be..."

At this moment, Xiao Huohuo was bewildered and desperate.

He would be caught by the Beast Tide in at most three more minutes!

Yet, in order to hunt Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts, he had gone deep into the inner space of the Dimensional Gate, over a hundred thousand meters!

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Fight it out..."

"If you want to eat me, Xiao Huohuo, ask my fists first if they agree!!"

Seeing that there was no hope of leaving, Xiao Huohuo became ruthless.

Gritting his teeth, his body ignited with raging flames, and he turned and killed his way into the Beast Tide!

Xiao Huohuo was not the only one to encounter the Beast Tide.

The Beast Tide was in a horizontal line, pushing across from the deepest part of the Dimensional Gate, and would eventually cover the entire Dimensional Gate space.

"Thump, thump."

At the same time Xiao Huohuo fell into the Beast Tide.

On Nangong Zheng's side, he also heard the sound of the Beast Tide.

"What happened?"

"Hm? How could there be a Beast Tide?!"

After hearing the sound, he did not run, but instead raised his spear and approached.

Then, the hair on his entire body stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to flee.

"Wait, so many Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts..."

"And these Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts are all more or less injured because of the trampling of their own kind..."

Then he discovered the key point and stopped abruptly.

"Could it be that Ye Bai was able to kill so many Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts in a short time because he ran into the Beast Tide?

Could this Beast Tide even be the real highlight of this Ranking Tournament; for the first hour, Ye Bai didn't fail to enter the Dimensional Gate, but went to the very inside to awaken the Beast Tide?!"

His imagination ran wild, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Otherwise, how could one explain that he and Ye Bai were both Third Grade Peak, yet the latter killed Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts as easily as eating and drinking?

"Ye Bai, now your advantage is gone!"

"I, Nangong Zheng, will tell you with facts that I am the ace!!"

He took the initiative to kill his way into the Beast Tide...

Liu Bufan also quickly heard the dense sound of footsteps.

"Beast Tide..."

Unlike Xiao Huohuo and Nangong Zheng, Liu Bufan judged at the first moment that this was a Beast Tide.

And he pressed for help.

He discovered that the help call was useless.

"Something is wrong... something is one hundred percent wrong..."

Liu Bufan faintly smelled the scent of a conspiracy, and the figure of Ye Bai even subconsciously appeared in his mind.

He turned directly and sped toward the direction of the entrance!

……

"Which direction could Ye Bai be in!?"

"No, I should leave now, otherwise if Ye Bai comes out and doesn't see me, he will worry about me!"

The moment Li Qingqing discovered the Beast Tide, she also decided to leave.

Because she possessed a hundred Martial Techniques, and among them, over ten were Movement Techniques!

Therefore, her movement speed was even faster than a Velociraptor, so there was no need to worry about being caught up by the Beast Tide at all!

"Save me, can someone come and save me!"

"The distress button is useless, no Instructor is coming, and I am also heavily injured..."

However, on the way out, Li Qingqing suddenly heard the cry for help of a Genius Camp student, and that person's voice was quite familiar.

"He..." Li Qingqing's first reaction was to ignore it.

But after her expression shifted for a moment, she still could not bring herself to be heartless.

They were classmates after all!

She turned and headed toward the location where the voice came from...
