Chapter 58

Lin Yiming also knew he was in trouble, but what could he do now? Looking down at the seemingly endless strange beasts, he kept thinking.

Suddenly... he saw a huge strange beast appear in his line of sight, and Lin Yiming's heart stirred.

"Quick, look at that golden-haired elephant!" Lin Yiming suddenly pointed, indicating a creature that was rapidly approaching from a distance. It looked almost identical to an African elephant on Earth, but it was covered in shimmering golden fur and was about seven to eight times the size of a regular elephant. When it ran, it looked like a moving castle.

"If we jump onto this giant elephant and ride on its back, we might have a chance of survival. Otherwise, staying in the tree is just asking for death!" Lin Yiming pointed at the giant elephant and shared his idea.

"Hmm? A Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant! This is one of the powerful strange beasts near the depths of Mount Yuanyang. Ordinary strange beasts wouldn't dare to provoke it. Alright, let's jump onto it. In its panic, it might not even notice us."

Sun Pingyang's eyes lit up as he saw the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant quickly running beneath them. Sun Pingyang shouted, "Jump!"

The three of them jumped down simultaneously, landing on the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant.

The surging tide of beasts showed no signs of stopping and even intensified. The ground outside Mount Yuanyang could feel the tremors.

"This is a beast tide! Lin Yiming and the others actually fled into Mount Yuanyang at this time, truly courting death. No one can stop them." Bai Tong looked in the direction of Mount Yuanyang and burst into laughter. This was a beast tide, and even a Wu Fa realm expert would find it hard to survive if they didn't run. Lin Yiming and the others were doomed!

"Although a beast tide is dangerous, it's also a rare opportunity to get rich. Many adventurers in Mount Yuanyang will die in the beast tide, and the strange beasts won't be interested in the things they carry. After the beast tide ends, we can go in and make a fortune from the dead. The strange beasts themselves are treasures, and many will die in the beast tide. This is our chance to get rich." Bai Tong's eyes grew even more intense.

In Mount Yuanyang, the surging army of strange beasts continued to run in one direction, but gradually, their direction changed. Some ran to the left, while others ran to the right.

As the beast tide split, the number of strange beasts in Lin Yiming's sight began to decrease sharply.

Just as the beast tide seemed to be settling down, a clear cry suddenly echoed from the sky.

Following the cry, a huge bird rose from the horizon.

"This is... the Wood-Element Bird that hasn't appeared yet." Sun Pingyang, sitting on the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant, immediately recognized the giant bird. "It seems the Wood-Element Bird wasn't eaten after all. I thought it had been swallowed by the Sun-Devouring Golden Crow."

As soon as Sun Pingyang finished speaking, the sky where the Wood-Element Bird was suddenly turned red. The sky seemed to have changed, becoming a fiery red, filled with scorching flames, turning the world into a sea of fire.

Even from a distance, Lin Yiming could feel the sudden heat, burning his skin painfully, as if he were standing on a blacksmith's furnace.

The Wood-Element Bird, affected by the sea of fire, slowed down. Then, all the flames in the sky, with the Wood-Element Bird at the center, rapidly swirled and rushed into its body.

In the next moment, the huge figure of the Sun-Devouring Golden Crow appeared in the sky, opening its mouth and spitting out a massive fireball.

The fireball flew and struck the Wood-Element Bird. Instantly, the sky became abnormally bright, at least ten times brighter than before.

At that moment, Lin Yiming felt the temperature around him rise again, as if he had fallen onto a red-hot iron plate, his skin instantly turning red from the heat!

In the distant sky, the Wood-Element Bird's body turned into a shower of blood, spraying downward. Among the countless drops of blood, one particularly noticeable drop could be seen even from a distance.

The Sun-Devouring Golden Crow flapped its wings and flew in front of this drop of blood, swallowing it in one bite.

"MAX ultimate move! Damn, that's terrifying. I didn't know strange beasts had ultimate moves!" Lin Yiming blurted out.

"What do you mean by 'thirsty' and 'ultimate move'? What are you talking about?" Sun Pingyang was confused by Lin Yiming's words.

"Uh..." Lin Yiming realized he had slipped and said something from his past life. Just as he was about to explain, the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant, which had been slowing down, suddenly started running wildly, faster than ever.

The sudden change in the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant almost knocked Lin Yiming off. When he steadied himself, he heard Sun Pingyang's voice full of regret and envy.

"What a pity, that was the Wood-Element Bird, a strange beast. Its blood is incredibly precious, a priceless treasure. Any faction that obtains this blood will keep it for themselves, using it. For Blood Core realm practitioners, the blood of strange beasts is the most valuable treasure in the world.

I'm old now and have already entered the Blood Core realm, so getting this blood wouldn't be useful for me. But if you had obtained the Wood-Element Bird's blood and entered the Blood Core realm, you could easily kill Bai Tong like slaughtering a chicken. Unfortunately, we are too far away, and we can't get that blood."

Sun Pingyang looked at the horizon, sighing. "That Sun-Devouring Golden Crow has swallowed the Wood-Element Bird's essence blood. Its strength will greatly increase, and the other two Elemental Birds will eventually be swallowed by it too."

Lin Yiming didn't respond. The Sun-Devouring Golden Crow and the Elemental Birds were too far away. His current concern was his own safety.

The Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant ran wildly, like a giant bulldozer, plowing through everything in its path.

Whether it was tall trees or huge rocks, they shattered under the impact of the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant. Even a giant tree, slightly smaller than the one they had initially rested on, was crushed by the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant.

The strange beasts in front of the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant were also thrown aside, and some weaker ones were even crushed into bloody pulp.

However, the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant's wild run gradually separated them from the other strange beasts, allowing them to escape the beast tide.

"We've escaped the beast tide. We're really lucky. Encountering this Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant, no other strange beasts could challenge it, or we wouldn't have been able to escape." Sun Pingyang looked at the distant beast tide, a smile on his face. He turned to Lin Yiming, but his expression suddenly changed.

The three of them were lying on the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant when a strong wind suddenly blew from one side. Then, a huge tiger suddenly leaped out, biting the neck of the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant near its large ears.

"Bad, it's a White-Backed Fierce Tiger. Run!" Sun Pingyang was startled, and Lin Yiming, realizing the danger, grabbed Xiao Guoguo and leaped off the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant.

The moment the three of them jumped off, the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant, feeling the attack, shook its massive body and swung to one side.

The force of the swing threw the White-Backed Fierce Tiger, which was only slightly smaller but still enormous, away.

Although thrown, the White-Backed Fierce Tiger seemed unharmed. It leaped again, and with its powerful front legs, pounced on the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant.

Lin Yiming had just landed when he felt a strong wind, almost knocking him off his feet. He took two steps back to steady himself.

In that instant, a phrase came to his mind.

"Roaring like a tiger."

He finally understood why people had created this phrase. The White-Backed Fierce Tiger's pounce was so powerful that he could feel the wind from a distance of several meters.

The pounce was truly formidable!

Facing the White-Backed Fierce Tiger's attack, the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant did not back down. It stood on its hind legs, raising its massive front legs, which were even thicker than the White-Backed Fierce Tiger's waist, and struck back.

"Boom!"

The two giant strange beasts' front legs collided, producing a sound like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.

The White-Backed Fierce Tiger's front paws extended sharp claws, and the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant's front legs also grew claws.

"This White-Backed Fierce Tiger is so powerful, challenging the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant head-on. But tigers are usually very cunning. Why is this one so fierce?" Lin Yiming looked at the white-backed tiger, puzzled.

"Because the White-Backed Fierce Tiger is different, that's why it's called a Fierce Tiger." Sun Pingyang, who had been to Mount Yuanyang several times, was familiar with the strange beasts inside.

"I see." Lin Yiming nodded and looked around, lowering his voice to Sun Pingyang. "Now that these two strange beasts are fighting, they won't finish anytime soon. We're far from the beast tide, and this is a good chance for us to escape. Let's run."

"Run? Run where? This is such a good opportunity, how can we run?" Sun Pingyang became excited. "These two powerful strange beasts, even a Wu Fa realm expert couldn't kill them. They are fighting to the death, which is a great opportunity. Once one of them dies, we can get rich. We can't run."

Lin Yiming slapped his head in frustration. How could he not see that Sun Pingyang still had such naive thoughts?

Did he think this was a novel? Two powerful strange beasts fighting to the death, and he would get the benefit? There was no such thing in the world.

Lin Yiming wanted to leave, but Sun Pingyang insisted on staying, and even Xiao Guoguo was jumping around, shouting to stay.

"Come on, bite it, bite harder. Yes, that's it. Oh... you stupid tiger, how could you get hit? You're even dumber than a bear! ... Elephant, kick it..."

Xiao Guoguo stood in the forest, watching the two strange beasts fighting, waving her little fists, cheering for the White-Backed Fierce Tiger and the Broken-Tooth Golden Elephant, showing no fear.

"Girl, be quiet. Don't attract their attention. If they come, we'll be in trouble." Lin Yiming, seeing Xiao Guoguo jumping, broke out in a cold sweat. This girl, she was afraid no one would notice her.

"Xiao Guoguo isn't afraid of them. If they come, I'll kick them." Xiao Guoguo, realizing the size difference, added, "I can also bite them."

"Bite..."

Lin Yiming looked at Xiao Guoguo's small mouth and then at the two strange beasts, thinking to himself, "Your little mouth is smaller than their teeth. How can you bite them?"
