Chapter 578 Encountering The Beast Tide

The green forest formed a sea of trees. The two Flywheels flew across them, shaking the trees behind them continuously.

Lu Yu and Han Xuefei drove their respective Flywheel and quickly headed toward their destination. They had lowered their altitude to the minimum.

The Flywheel was an amphibious vehicle. The higher it flew, the more energy it consumed.

Therefore, Lu Yu lowered the altitude as much as possible to reduce the interval between charges.

As they were traveling above the forest, Lu Yu raised his head and looked into the distance.

“There’s a large patch of black smoke over there. It seems to be the place where the ashes fell after the explosion.” Lu Yu said.

Han Xuefei also straightened her body slightly and looked over.

“That direction seems to be the place where the battle took place yesterday.”

“In other words, the beast tide began here. I’m curious how far the beast tide has progressed!”

Lu Yu revved the engine, and the Flywheel flew out with a swish.

“Let’s speed up and get there as soon as possible!”

Soon, Lu Yu could see a colossal crater on his right side. The surroundings were all charred black, and the ground was covered with burned trees.

Lu Yu could see the traces left behind by the beast tide as he moved forward quickly.

Initially, the dense forest could form a green ocean, but that couldn’t be further from the truth now.

Many trees were broken and collapsed, lying on the ground in a mess.

Some trees were smashed into pieces, scattering wood chips everywhere.

On the ground, all kinds of footprints were densely pressed into the ground.

Some of the footprints were about the size of a car, which looked daunting.

“From here on, it’s the starting point of the beast tide. We must catch up to them as soon as possible.”

Han Xuefei said as she looked down.

“Judging from the level of destruction, the scale of this beast tide is sure of something else. We have to make full preparations.”

At that moment, Qin Yang’s voice could be heard on their radio.

“I see you’ve arrived in the vicinity of the beast tide. Have you seen the destroyed terrain around you? ”

Lu Yu slightly turned his head towards the walkie-talkie and replied, “That’s right, we’ve already seen it. However, for the time being, we still can’t see any beasts. They must have advanced far.”

“Yes. They’re approaching the military base, which is only 20 to 30 kilometers away.”

“If you guys keep moving at full speed, you’ll make it before the beast tide.”

After Qin Yang finished speaking, Lu Yu nodded his head. “Continue to standby. Is there anything from the military?”

“I just had a short chat with Zhao Yan. They’ve already mobilized all of their forces and are fully prepared to deal with this beast tide.”

“He also specifically reminded you that there’s no need to go so early. They can easily deal with it, but I guess he just didn’t want to trouble you.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu only shook his head and laughed bitterly. He knew very well what the other party was thinking. In the military, anyone with a certain rank would have some pride in their heart.

Zhao Yan was probably arrogant enough not to be willing to receive help from others.

“They are indeed confident, but in the face of unknown enemies, it’s better to be as cautious as possible.”

“That’s right. So, you should hurry over. Otherwise, they’ll be trampled over before long. Once that happens, how will they have the power to work with you?” Qin Yang suggested.

Lu Yu didn’t say much and just kept driving at full speed…

…..

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yu could vaguely see some movement in front of him.

They were on a large plain, which allowed them to see the horizon.

Lu Yu could see countless small dots moving over the horizon.

It wasn’t just on the ground; there were also many small dots in the air.

Lu Yu realized right away that this was the beast tide!

Those small, wriggling dots on the ground must be those ferocious beasts!

A swarm of ferocious beasts flew through the air, densely packed like a flock of migrating sparrows, covering the sky and the sun. It looked almost like a locust plague.

“The beast tide is right ahead of us, and they’re all going in the same direction. It looks like we’re about to reach our destination!”

Lu Yu reminded them, and Han Xuefei quickly looked up before seeing those black dots, which made her nervous.

“There are so many beasts in the sky. Will there be any problems if we fly over?”

“Let’s just go around it. Although it’ll take some time, it’s better than crashing into them.”

After Lu Yu’s suggestion, he began to change directions, with Han Xuefei following closely behind him.

Soon, the beast tide ahead was getting closer and closer, and the silhouettes of some large animals could be clearly seen.

Lu Yu saw a few colossal-looking beasts in the horde, such as an elephant as tall as a hill, a giant winged eagle soaring in the sky, and a titan-like python crawling on the ground.

These weren’t the only threats, as more medium-sized ferocious beasts were also running forward at a fast speed.

Looking further ahead, Lu Yu saw a field of emerald green tropical rainforest with densely packed trees, rich-looking fruits, and river streams.

They should be content with the resources available once the beast tide arrives at the rainforest ahead.

However, the military’s stronghold was also situated in that rainforest. Once the beasts entered that area, they would definitely encounter the stronghold.

Ferocious beasts and humans were mortal enemies. A fierce battle would be inevitable if they encountered one another in the wild.

Such a large-scale beast tide probably wouldn’t be afraid of any human settlement.

Lu Yu began shifting to the left and following the beast tide.

They quickly caught up with it and arrived at the back of the beast tide.

At that moment, Lu Yu quickly revved the left handle, and the Flywheel swerved into the air, increasing its altitude.

Very quickly, Lu Yu had risen by thirty to forty meters.

He looked ahead and saw rows of trees being overturned and crushed by the beast tide.

The creatures at the front were giant rhinos with sturdy bodies. The horns of these rhinos were like chainsaws, cutting and mowing down trees whenever they hit one.

The broken trees fell to the ground, and the beasts behind them jumped over the broken trees as they continued to move forward quickly.

The ferocious beasts flying high in the sky seemed to be flying forward in a particular formation, too.

The entire beast tide didn’t look like a scene of wild beasts fleeing in disarray after being in danger.

Lu Yu quickly realized that there must be a beast king within their horde, and it was directing the beast tide forward!

It acted like the leader of a tribe, respected by the rest of the beasts. This also meant its strength would be greater than any of the other beasts.

Lu Yu looked down carefully but couldn’t spot any unique ferocious beasts. He couldn’t find the so-called beast king.

Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon God, planning to scan and find out the number of beasts down there.
