Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Getting Worse and Worse Chapter 884: Chapter 884 Getting Worse and Worse Thus, for the next two months, experts journeyed tens of thousands of miles to the Shadow Province, some in teams and others alone, all aiming to kill the hidden Semi-Beast King.

However, upon arrival, they discovered that the entire Shadow Province was already in shambles. It wasn’t just the King Level Beast Kings; they struggled even against Level Nine Ferocious Beasts.

Once they arrived in the region, they were essentially trapped in the Shadow Province, unable to defeat their enemies or escape, while also facing pursuit from the Cannibal Tribe and the dire situation of food scarcity.

Even as the Federation continued its call to arms, very few were truly brave enough to respond.

Everyone understood that the Shadow Province was now a living hell, a slaughterhouse for humans. Even basic food resources could not be delivered, and there were bloody scenes of cannibalism. Anyone who went there would be no different from a fool.

Moreover, within just two months, the frequency of Ferocious Beast outbreaks in the countries had surged, tormenting everyone with repeated attacks.

As a result, most experts were fortifying their own countries and had no intention of addressing the root cause of the problem.

This led to the near-total annihilation of the military forces stationed within the Shadow Province, as it became clear that the entire region had been occupied by various Ferocious Beasts.

And it seemed as if those ten Level Nine Ferocious Beasts had received some order, riding Level Eight Bald Eagle Beasts and venturing far to other countries, with regions like Livonia, Avalon, Krautopia, Cherrywood, and others falling into their clutches.

Even countries in a slightly better condition had started constructing underground cities to store large amounts of food and supplies and to consider the safety of the people.

…

“Dragon King, this is already the fifth time this month that Ferocious Beasts have grouped together! If we continue fighting like this, I’m afraid we’ll run out of supplies!”

“Our warriors have been so worn down they can hardly think straight, and the main problem is… having eaten the last meal without knowing where the next will come from. We can fend off the large Ferocious Beasts, but not the swarms of insects that come flying in!”

“The entire international supply of food is already scarce, and even if we are willing to spend money, I doubt anyone would be willing to sell to us!”

Inside the Dragon King’s Palace, the Fox, Shark, Black Wolf, and others expressed their concerns, reporting on the situation of the Eight countries in Southeast.

In just two months, although they had done their utmost to defend against repeated attacks by Ferocious Beasts at the borders, the losses they suffered were just as severe as those in other regions.

With the farmlands nearly destroyed by locust plagues and insect disasters, the harvests were entirely ruined.

If they were to almost run out of food, this endless war against the beasts would naturally break down many people’s psychological defenses.

Greg Jensen furrowed his brow upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected the onslaught of Ferocious Beasts to be unending, showing no signs of stopping, and the situation was becoming increasingly severe.

“Is there really not a single grain left in the national treasury?”

“There is, but the current stockpile might only last half a month, and that’s if everyone is frugal. Otherwise, it wouldn’t even last a week!”

“What about the corpses? Don’t tell me you weren’t able to collect and distribute them among the various regions of the Eight countries in Southeast?”

Greg Jensen had anticipated a major crisis in food supply. A month ago, he had ordered Fox and others to collect the corpses of Ferocious Beasts so that, even if grains were no longer available, there would still be meat to eat.

With such frequent attacks, there should naturally be a large number of corpses left on the battlefield, meaning everyone shouldn’t be starving.

But Fox shook his head and sighed, “That method worked at first, but in the past month, those Ferocious Beasts seem to have become smarter. As soon as a comrade falls, they immediately devour it, leaving us no chance to retrieve it!”

Many of the main river channels have also been infiltrated by numerous strange fish, even the channels for obtaining water resources are filled with unexpected dangers.

Upon hearing this, Greg Jensen fell into contemplation.

In these two months, he had been immersed in retreat, leaving the management of the defense against ferocious beasts almost entirely to the fox, without much inquiry.

He hadn’t expected the situation to have developed into such a serious state.

If no solution were found soon, the Eight countries in Southeast would surely, like other regions, see a large influx of ferocious beasts taking over their territory and destroying buildings.

“Fox, Black Wolf, in the next few days, you’ll join me in gathering enough food for half a month!”

Since the issue of food was directly caused by these ferocious beasts, it was natural to recover it from them.

“This…this is not impossible, but… Dragon King, even if we manage to gather half a month’s food supply for all the regions, it won’t help much, as we would have to start all over again after half a month!”

“Right, I think we must find a way to address the root cause, otherwise, we can only endure like this, who knows for how many more years?”

“Dragon King, once we have resolved the food issue here, let’s all go to the Shadow Province. If we can kill that King-Level Beast King, we will not only receive the bounty promised by the alliance, but our international status would definitely rise considerably!”

The crowd glared at Greg Jensen with righteous indignation, clenching their fists, feeling that they could not sit idly by any longer.

Little did they know, Greg Jensen just smiled, did not address the question directly, but calmly said:
“Don’t worry, let’s finish the task at hand first!”

In the following five days, Greg Jensen personally led the team, along with the fox, Black Wolf, Shark, and others in frequent battles against the million ferocious beasts.

They not only seized a large number of corpses but also defeated the million ferocious beasts, crumbling their forces, and gaining a brief respite for the warriors of the Eight countries in Southeast.

After distributing various types of meat, it resolved the immediate issues of warmth and food, and there was no need to worry about this for at least half a month.

That day, Greg Jensen took the initiative to launch an attack, chasing into a forest. He extracted a Beast Core from the belly of a black bear and was about to head home when suddenly, a loud cry resounded overhead.

Looking up, he saw a massive Three-eyed Golden Eagle with golden feathers, over three meters tall, its wings, when spread, at least four meters wide.

It must be said that under Greg Jensen’s nurturing, the Three-eyed Golden Eagle had grown rapidly, and its size had already reached the peak stage.

“What? You mean, you’ve found the source behind the Eight countries in Southeast that’s manipulating the great unrest of the ferocious beasts?”

Hearing the woos of the Three-eyed Golden Eagle, Greg Jensen immediately became interested, “What’s the background of the other party? Where are they hiding?”

The Three-eyed Golden Eagle squawked and flapped its wings, pointing in one direction.

It turned out that while chasing a group of ferocious beasts, it had accidentally found their source lair, sensing an extremely powerful force within the cave.

If it weren’t worried about being unable to defeat the adversary alone, it would have already joined the other Three-eyed Golden Eagles in attacking and wouldn’t have bothered to come back and inform Greg Jensen.

“Heh, since that’s the case, then lead me to have a look!”
