There was a stretch of flat plains between the Forest of Neversetting Sun and the city. The flat plains in front of the city formed a natural battlefield. The faraway rumbling entered their ears. Dust rose in the forest, and even the ground under their feet trembled.

Aofeng suddenly felt the air tense. She took a deep breath and looked into the distance. There were countless black dots that were like an enormous wave among the endless forest between the grasses and the branches of the large trees. The wave headed towards them at an astounding speed! When they looked over, the black clouds obscured the sun in the sky. It appeared as though countless locusts had flown out of the fields. The magic beast tide at Qin City was nothing compared to this!

The first wave of magic beast was composed of the three-star Forest Poison Spiders, Six-star Forest Boars, five-star Flying Crows, seven-star Forest Wind Wolves and seven-star Forest Oxen which were common in the forest. The names of these magic beasts all came from the Great Forest of Neversetting Sun.

The dust rose, and the roars of high level magic beasts deep in the forest clearly entered everyone's ears.

These magic beast seemed to be receiving direction from somewhere. They formed into groups like troops to make up uniform magic beast armies. Just from the presence of the magic beasts, they could feel that the magic beast army had great power.

"Is there someone directing the magic beasts?" Seeing this, Aofeng thought and then asked mentally, "Liao Ya, were you the one that created the magic beast tide we encountered in Xiangnan Forest?"

"Master, while us sacred beasts can frighten away magic beast using the presence of a sacred beast, we cannot order magic beast. It's not him." Ben Lei answered first. "Divine beasts can order ownerless magic beasts in a small range. Adult super-divine beasts can manifest in human form. The magic beast armies they lead are unstoppable. There definitely is an adult super-divine beast inside the Death Ridge of the Great Forest of Neversetting Sun. When I was living at Soul Breaking Cliff, I once felt that presence. He is definitely the one in charge of the magic beast siege but he is just not showing himself."

Liao Ya nodded and continue, "Yes, Master. I was not the one that created the magic beast tide last time, it was Boss Chi. But he was wounded. He only wanted to create a magic beast tide for me to get you. He didn't divide up the magic beasts."

Aofeng was surprised when she heard this. She felt another wave of puzzlement. "What kind of magic beast is Chi? So strong even in the infant stage, able to manifest in human shape. Looking at his present strength, wouldn't he be stronger than a super-divine beast when he grows up?"

"I'm not sure of the specifics but I guarantee that Boss Chi will only be stronger than that super-divine beast." Ben Lei said confidently, "His presence is on a completely different level than the divine beasts in Death Ridge. That ball of fire that almost turned me into roasted panther is stronger than divine beasts. Infant-stage magus beasts should not have such strong offensive power, super-divine beasts are not exceptions. But Boss Chi completely breaks this rule."

Aofeng nodded in understanding. She thought, no wonder Chi did not tell her his background. At that level, even celestial magisters would be very weak? There were super-divine beasts inside Death Ridge? After this siege ended, she would go take a look on her way to the empire!

The surrounding mercenaries had grave and nervous expressions. Blinding silver light formed an ocean. The first row of magisters summoned their magus beasts and spread outwards in a flanking formation. At the center of the formation, Rong Luo, Lu Feng, Qiu Ran, Aofeng and the others stood against the wind. Aofeng, and Rong Luo, the two spirit magisters, summoned their magus beasts in their true forms. The enormous and magnificent sacred beasts and spirit beast once again caused a wave of astounded sighs.
