Chapter 28: Beast Horde Approaches, Eight Grandmaster Demon Snakes at the Gates!

"Boom!"

The Two-Tailed White Fox shifted its little paw, unleashing a thunderous sonic boom that left the fragile sofa sunken and unusable.

Cheng Bingxi winced slightly; the power surge from seventh to ninth rank was more than tenfold, and she hadn't yet adjusted to the explosive strength of the Two-Tailed White Fox.

The Three-Toed Golden Dragon, hovering above, also carefully controlled its power, lest it accidentally punch a hole through the ceiling.

To avoid damaging the apartment, Xiao Ye and the others reverted to their human forms.

In human form, they retained some of the summons' attributes, enhancing their physical capabilities post-upgrade.

Cheng Bingxi clenched her fair fists, her beautiful face alight with excitement, saying:

"I feel like I have endless energy now!"

"I'm like thunder when I fart, and my poop flies like an arrow!"

Nangong Siyao punched the air, the force whistling through the room, "I could punch a cow to death with one hit!"

Xiao Ye checked the system task panel:

**[Stage Task: Secure the national top scorer in the college entrance exam, elevate Mangyuan Base City's overall exam results into the national top ten base cities; Reward: Super Invincible Mystery Grand Prize]**

**[Current Task: Within half a month, advance two summoned beasts to ninth rank, slay two grandmaster-level beasts; Reward: Rule-level Rare Treasure Xuanhuang Gem]**

**[Rule-level Rare Treasure Xuanhuang Gem: Has the power to calm chaotic rules and stabilize excess and chaotic energies]**

"With our current rank, all that's left are the two grandmaster-level beasts."

"With two ninth-rank SSS-level summoned beasts, we're capable of defeating grandmasters."

Xiao Ye was confident; conceptual innate skills were no joke.

"Ring ring ring!" A communication alert sounded, and on answering, the former captain of the Leopard Hunting Team appeared on the virtual screen.

"Captain, there's a big problem!" He looked grave, "Last time, we killed the Demon Jiao, the son of the Beast King of the Demon Snake Forest, and now the Beast King is furious!"

"The Beast King is leading the eight grandmaster snake demons to attack Mangyuan Base City!"

"The Beast King has also triggered a beast horde that's about to breach the city's defenses!"

"We're fighting desperately at the frontline!"

Xiao Ye's face changed, quickly responding, "The frontline, we're on our way."

After hanging up, he checked the messages, realizing several people had contacted him.

City Lord: "Xiao Ye! Protect Yaoyao."

Training Maniac Bald Guy: "Xiao Ye! Stay in the training camp, it's safe here."

Military Pavilion Head: "Yi Luren is missing, Xiao Ye, watch out for beast attacks on the camp."

Beside him, Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi, aware of the crisis, looked serious.

The three set out, boarding an off-road vehicle, heading straight to the frontline.

Outside Mangyuan Base City.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The area was embroiled in intense combat, the noise deafening.

A vast swarm of demon snakes emerged from the Demon Snake Forest, shooting toward the city walls.

Thousands of city guard beasts clashed with the demon snakes.

The ordinary snakes from the Demon Snake Forest were manageable as they were non-venomous and relatively small, easy to kill.

However, many types of large, venomous snakes were present, making even the city guard beasts cautious. Injuries were manageable, but if poisoned, there was no time for antidotes in the heat of battle, leading to certain death!

"Report! Fourth-rank city guard annihilated!"

"Report! Fifth-rank city guard more than half casualties!"

"Report! Eighty percent of sixth-rank city guards poisoned, incapacitated!"

"Seventh, eighth, ninth ranks, heavy losses, combat ability halved!"

The city guard pavilion reported continuously, the faces of the Grandmaster Roc and Golden Tiger, fighting the eight grandmaster snake demons at the forefront, growing darker.

"Bang!" "Pavilion Master, let us handle these eight grandmasters, save your strength for the Beast King!"

"Yes, the four of us can manage!"

Mangyuan Base City had six grandmaster summoned beasts, the pavilion master couple, city lord couple, training maniacs bald instructors, and three other grandmaster-level contractors. The training maniac bald instructor suggested the pavilion masters conserve energy.

The beast horde and eight grandmasters were just the beginning; the real threat was the grandmaster-level Beast King Jiao, a millennia-old serpent turned dragon!

Only the city lord couple's grandmaster Roc and the pavilion master's Golden Tiger combined could counter it!

"Nonsense, how can four of you fight eight?"

"Exactly, one to two, are you planning to die here?"

Seeing the heavy casualties among the city guards, the Roc was deeply troubled, and the Golden Tiger's eyes blazed with fury. They couldn't spare themselves to aid others; relying solely on four grandmaster summoned beasts would struggle to hold back the eight grandmaster snake demons.

Should the Beast King Jiao emerge, Mangyuan Base City would surely fall!

The event was sudden; reinforcements from other base cities wouldn't arrive in time!

None of the summoned beasts realized that in the thick, dark clouds a thousand meters above, a red-eyed demon Jiao watched the battle below.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a unique roar echoed as a Two-Tailed Sacred White Fox appeared on the city wall.

**[Godly Charm: Confuses enemies' minds, affecting multiple targets]**

Full power!!

A terrifyingly powerful mental wave spread from the Two-Tailed Sacred White Fox, reaching the entire battlefield in under two seconds.

"Buzz!"

An astonishing scene unfolded, shocking all summoned beasts. Apart from grandmaster-level beasts, the tens of thousands of ninth-rank and below demon snakes halted, ceasing their battle with the city guard.

Their eyes showed confusion, as if paused mid-action.

The city guard and grandmasters were stunned by the spectacle.

"A miracle! A miracle has descended!"

"Great, Mangyuan Base City is saved!"

"Kill! Attack!"

"Demon snakes, die! As long as we're here, you won't set foot in the base city!"

Thousands of city guard beasts rallied, launching a counterattack against the immobilized demon snakes.

Within two minutes, the city guard overturned their disadvantage, decimating the halted demon snakes, leaving only non-venomous, easily handled lower-rank groups!

"It's the Two-Tailed White Fox's control skill, it's insane!" The training maniac instructor's summoned Dark Crocodile spotted the White Fox on the wall, exclaiming in awe.

The Roc and Golden Tiger realized, shocked, "It's Xiao Ye! SSS-ranked summoned beasts are beyond ordinary understanding, their skill effects are incredible."

The White Fox, an SSS-ranked summoned beast, was akin to an army of a million!

For the first time, the grandmaster summoned beasts recognized the terrifying power of SSS rank!

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, the sky darkened!

An evil-tinged demon Jiao shot from the clouds toward the city wall!
