Chapter 67: THE BEAST TIDE

Long Tao had successfully managed to complete the first phase of his plans, which was to stage the initial Chaos, with the help of the worker’s rebellion. The next two stages were important. For ten days has already passed, the artifact had already signaled Long Tao that it had consumed half of the mine already and according to the growth in its devouring speed, he would be able to complete the mine within the next 5 days. But the upper mine was starting to breakdown and the mine below was going to be surfaced to the world soon enough. He couldn’t risk, an army being called into this location and has to escape.

The second phase was a simpler one. He had to stage the whole region into a situation of total chaos. The means that Long Tao had decided upon to execute this phase was a beast tide in these regions. The first thing to be done was to evacuate the prisoners here to safety. He didn’t want any causalities and the prisoners were going to serve another purpose of his. They were going to become the scapegoat for attracting the beast tide into the mines.

The plan for phase two as quite simple. Long Tao called upon the soldiers who he controlled. There was a total of 10 operatives, Long Tao took into his group. He decided to scout the area first. There were 10 covert operatives and, 3 avatars of his who were training within the Crimson Lord world, were sent in different directions. The work assigned to them was quite simple. The operatives were going to search to find the spies and messengers within the search radius. The avatars were going to execute them. Long Tao had already done more than he had decided upon when he first took on the mission.

Within the two months, Long Tao has led to the death of around 500 enemy practitioners of the Qi master stage. Most of them were in beginner and intermediate, but a handful of high-value targets were of the advanced Qi master realm stage. Long Tao had already cleared up a dozen enemy names and will be awarded a huge amount of contribution points in the army. The resources he got from the people he had killed were even more valuable. He managed to gather lots of normal and intermediate-grade spirit stones and hordes of weapons, which when sold would itself outweigh the benefits he would get from the contribution points he would gather from the military.

The biggest gain was of course the mine the artifact was currently absorbing. According to the keeper, the artifact is to absorb around 70% of the mine and the rest was going to be belonging to Long Tao. He was going to get the benefit of increased Time ratio and he hoped that it would become 1:6, which would help Long Tao a lot. And the remaining amount was going to help him increase his cultivation to a big extent. Long Tao was getting more and more excited about the fact that he was going to get hordes of intermediate grade Qi stones. He was positive that it would be able to last until he gets to mid- Qi general realm. Although he couldn’t predict the future, he was sure that, by the time he gets to the Qi general realm, he would have at least one other encounter like this. Long Tao also concentrate don collecting the locations for any other mines that were being regulated, but most of them were situated within the Chu country and each had a Qi general guarding it.

The important task was to power up now. Long Tao wanted to enter the 4th stage Qi master realm by the time he returned to the camp because he knew that he was going to face some difficulties when he gets backs. The biggest threat was Lin Bao. From what Long Tao had heard he was a second stage Qi general. Long Tao needed to enter the 9th stage (of the 12 stages) QI master at the very least to fight someone like that, but it was some distance away. Even if Long Tao went into full retreat, he would require at least 2 months in the real world to get to that stage, which originally would mean to be around 10-12 months in reality. Although the talent and cultivation speed of Long Tao was increasing every day, the main reason behind him consuming so much time would be the practice schedule he goes through.

The situation, in and around the mine region was displayed within a piece of the map that Long Tao managed to get his hands on. The dangerous areas were marked properly in and around it, and the potential targets f Long Tao were three in number. All three of these regions had the 4th-grade demonic beast within them, who were not disturbed by the countries. Once disturbed and awakened, these beasts would cause a huge amount of damage to the country that they were directed to. Long Tao counted on that fact and decided upon three beasts that were supposed to be provoked. The first one was a Metal clawed bear. The second one was a silver winged condor and the third one was Slytherin. All these beasts commanded their respective regions.

.....

The Chu Country, Sami city-

The people of Sami always had a busy lifestyle, because it was not only a trading region, but it was a military base camp of the Chu country. Like the Jiao had the City of Tamar, Sami was the city of Chu that led to the North-eastern chaotic regions. Hence the military set here was the strongest in the country. Another reason for this area to be so heavily crowded with military power was the presence of various mines that the Chu country controlled in the chaotic regions. There were a total of three mines in the region and all of them were big ones. The Chu’s got lucky within the borders and found these three mines.

The inspection team that visited the mines on a regular basis was always accompanied by a Qi General. This time it was assigned to The Blood general, known as Lingshan Yu. HE was known to be the most ruthless pawn of the Chu country. The reason of dispatch was the fact that a spy had reported them about a potential coup to be in play and someone the workers. But recently no news was being transmitted to them. So, the Blood general was in a hurry to reach the location. The procession would require two days to reach the location. He took a small army with him for the suppression.

Long Tao’s three avatars were now scouting the three potential regions. The Iron clawed bear was a ground type beast who had a strong defense and incredible speed relative to the weight it carries. The deadly combination makes it one of the most dangerous beasts out there. The winged condor was an aerial type beast and long-range attacks were its specialty. The most dangerous of all was the Slytherin. The combination of agility, strength, and strong defense was just the surface of its ability. The most dangerous attribute of it was the poison. It was an animal that was adept in the use of poisons.

Long Tao started to monitor their habits for half a day and listed out their activities. From his perspective, the iron-clawed ear was an easy target due to its aggressive nature. The winged condor was also someone who can be attracted, but there were some efforts taken into account. The most difficult attraction was Slytherin. It was like a double-edged sword.

1 day later-

The iron clawed bear was resting in its cave when suddenly a huge explosion took place near it. Normally it wouldn’t bother, but soon enough the area was on fire. The fire had grown to a large extent and it was disturbed and forced tor rush out. It saw a group of people attacking its domain. A thunderous roar was heard and as soon as the humans saw him, they began to rush in opposite direction, towards the mine. It gave out another angry roar and looked round the destruction to its adobe. It was pissed and began to follow up on the humans. It was hell-bent on taking revenge on them.

The winged condor was on its way to returning to its nest when it saw a figure which was rushing out, holding its eggs. The figure dashed with incredible speed towards a certain direction. The condor screeched and then followed up behind the figure as it rushed towards the mine.

The huge commotion attracted the beast nearby. The beast was the overlords of their respective regions and they followed their kings to attack the region where the imposters were going to. They were going to kill all of the people who would be caught within the way. There were going to be a large number of causalities. The two groups were proceeding towards the mine at an astonishing speed. Within moments, the countries especially were alerted of the incoming beast tide. A large tide was approaching the Chu country’s mine and the blood general was soon enough made aware of the situation. This was bad news for him. He needed to approach the region fast and guard the mine. The Chu couldn’t let this resource pit get destroyed. The blood general sped up in front of his men, towards the mine.
