Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Return Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Return “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know why, but in the past half year, a lot of Beast Kings have appeared on the borders of the Eight countries in Southeast, as many as a hundred of them.

They even command thousands of Ferocious Beasts, so much so that even the Saber-toothed Tiger King can’t hold them back, and can only go from place to place putting out fires.”

Greg Jensen asked, “Are there this many Beast Kings only in the Eight countries in Southeast?”

“That’s right, other countries have at most a dozen,” Fox replied.

Greg Jensen’s expression suddenly darkened. The territory of the Eight countries in Southeast wasn’t vast, and the Beast Kings were territorial creatures, not likely to gather together lightly.

The simultaneous appearance of so many Beast Kings in the Eight countries in Southeast definitely meant someone was orchestrating it all.

Could it be targeted by the Creation God Tree?

“Alright, send me all the information on the Beast Kings and don’t worry about the rest.”

“Okay.”

“Also, find a few people for me, I’ll give you the names later.”

“Yes, Dragon King sir!”

At that moment, as the sun had already set, Greg Jensen rose into the air, summoned the Sword of Coagulated Frost, and flew toward the Eight countries in Southeast.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of a city in the Eight countries in Southeast, Black Wolf was desperately resisting with his men.

Over the past half year, Beast Kings often led Ferocious Beasts into the cities, hunting down humans indiscriminately, spreading panic among the populace.

The major families had organized Hunting Teams, stationed at the edges of the cities, to defend against sudden attacks by Ferocious Beasts.

The Beast Kings were too powerful; not only had they failed to stop the Ferocious Beasts, but they had also lost a lot of men.

Moreover, the attacks by the Ferocious Beasts were unpredictable; they could fend them off temporarily but not indefinitely.

Take this instance, if Black Wolf had not happened to be patrolling here, this city would probably have already fallen to the Ferocious Beasts.

“Sir Black Wolf, if it’s impossible to hold, perhaps we could…”

“If you run away, what happens to the residents of this city? If all the common people die, what good is your money?”

“This…”

After scolding him, that major family’s clan head had nothing to say and sheepishly withdrew to one side.

Watching the Ferocious Beasts continually charging the defensive line, Black Wolf’s eyes were filled with solemnity, and he couldn’t help but move his gaze to a small hill in the distance, where a Southeast Tiger was crouching.

It was a Level Ten Beast King as well, and its strength was much lower than that of the Saber-toothed Tiger, but there wasn’t just one Beast King that had come this time.

The other two had already been killed by the Saber-toothed Tiger King, but the Tiger King was also severely injured and was now lying at Black Wolf’s feet, gasping for breath.

“Back off, I can’t defeat the last one,” it gasped.

“We can’t retreat!”

Black Wolf’s expression was resolute, behind him was a county with tens of thousands of commoners. If the Dragon King’s Palace were to retreat now, those people would become food for the Ferocious Beasts.

Without these commoners, the Dragon King’s Palace would be rootless duckweed. What would he say when the Dragon King returned?

“We would rather die than retreat!”

The Tiger King, weary, struggled to stand up and spoke in a low tone, “Then let’s get ready to fight to the death.”

Just then, bad news came.

The other Beast Kings launched an attack on the borders of the Eight countries in Southeast simultaneously.

Black Wolf’s face turned pale, but he was powerless to respond now.

“Let’s kill this beast first!”

“Kill!”

Hearing that various cities were under attack, many whose relatives were out of town had their eyes turn red.

Roar!

Just then, the Southeast Tiger perched on the hill let out a fierce roar, as if blowing the horn for the attack. The isolated Ferocious Beasts immediately swarmed over.

Like a tide, they overwhelmed the soldiers on the defensive line in the blink of an eye.

Watching one comrade after another fall under the gaping maws, Black Wolf was filled with rage and wished he could tear those beasts apart to avenge his comrades.

“Sir Black Wolf, let’s withdraw.”

“Yes, our brothers are nearly all gone!”

Black Wolf listened to the advice of his subordinates and was somewhat moved inside, but soon his expression turned cold again.

“Reserve team, get ready!”

Upon hearing the command, the reserve team immediately put on a solemn expression and began to check their weapons and ammunition.

Seeing this, the others stopped trying to persuade him and silently began to organize their own equipment, ready to charge with the reserve team.

“I’ll go first, you guys follow closely. With some luck, we might be able to kill that Southeast Tiger.”

“Hahaha, killing one breaks even, killing two, I make a profit.”

“Not bad!”

The crowd laughed heartily, but their eyes revealed determination.

Everyone knew that their chances of survival were slim–a group of Martial Artists of only level five or six, how could they possibly defeat a Level Ten Tiger King?

Looking at those familiar faces, Black Wolf’s heart softened, but thinking of the Dragon King’s Palace, his expression turned cold again.

Just as he was about to order a general attack, his phone suddenly rang.

“Hello, Fox…”

Black Wolf picked up the phone, intending to bid farewell to an old friend, but then he heard Fox exclaim with surprise:
“The Dragon King is back!”

“What did you say!”

Black Wolf couldn’t believe his ears, suddenly raising his voice, “Say that again!”

“I said the Dragon King is back!”

“Is this true?”

Black Wolf grew excited; if it weren’t for Fox’s relaxed tone, he almost thought he had heard wrong.

“Of course it’s true, the Dragon King just called me, and I have sent him your coordinates–he should be arriving soon.”

Fox cheered him on: “Brother, hang in there!”

“Hmm, I know!”

Black Wolf hung up the phone and then could no longer contain his excitement, he cried out loudly, “The Dragon King is back!”

Silence, a deathly silence.

Black Wolf looked at the silent crowd and said in disbelief, “What are you staring at me for?”

“Black Wolf, you don’t need to lie to boost morale, do you?”

“To die is to die, I’m not scared of anything. Don’t use the Dragon King to scare me.”

Black Wolf laughed out loud, pointing at his subordinates and scolding, “Do you really think I’m like you dogs, even daring to fabricate stories about the Dragon King?”

“Uhh–”
“Pass it down, tell the brothers to hold on, the Dragon King will probably arrive very soon.”

As his words ended, suddenly someone exclaimed, “Look, what is that!”

Everyone turned to where his finger pointed, only to see in the pitch-black night sky, suddenly a light appeared.

That point of light grew rapidly, like a meteor slashing through the night sky, diving toward the Beast King of the Southeast Tiger.

The Beast King of the Southeast Tiger was roaring, urging its Ferocious Beasts to quickly breach the defenses before it so it could feast in the city.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the wind, it instinctively looked up only to see a claw covered in scales descending from the sky, grabbing towards its head.

At the same time, a dominative aura belonging to a Giant Dragon bore down overwhelmingly.

Roar!

A faint yet explosive dragon’s chant burst in the ears of the Southeast Tiger.

It felt its scalp tingle, that suppressive force from its bloodline made its whole body tremble; it couldn’t even think of running, let alone move.

The next second, that scaly claw firmly pressed on its head.

With a slight twist, a bloody tiger head was grasped in hand.

The headless body spurted a fountain of blood mist into the sky and then heavily collapsed.

The Southeast Tiger King, perished!
