Chapter 254 A Rise from the Ashes! The Queen... doesn't have much time left!
"Ah!"
At this moment, the Third City Lord, Gou Dao, also looked at the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, his expression complex.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile and say, "Several years ago, when I first left Beast City, this place was even more prosperous and peaceful, a veritable paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers. But now..."
He hasn't been back for almost three years, guarding the salt mine.
Previously, this place was a true paradise, a veritable pure land on earth.
Almost no trace of that nauseating black mist could be seen.
But now... it seems everything is starting to rise again!
What about the queen who suppressed everything? How is she doing?
Was it better before?
Seeing the reaction of the Third City Lord Gou Dao, Xiao Yu seemed to have something on his mind.
Look.
The situation in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was far more complicated than he had imagined!
Moreover... with his eyesight, he could see it at a glance.
The people of the Beast City below don't even have decent houses; like those in the Salt Mine, they all live in caves.
To put it bluntly, they were practically like savages.
"Ow!"
Just then, the earth dragon turtle suddenly roared.
The enormous dragon head soared straight into the sky.
This roar instantly shattered large swathes of clouds within a radius of several miles, causing raindrops to fall in torrents.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu looked closely and his eyes narrowed immediately.
He then realized why the earth dragon turtle was behaving so strangely.
Dozens of miles away, on either side of the mountain peak at the heart of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, two enormous creatures stood.
Although they were dozens of miles apart, Xiao Yu could still clearly sense them.
The aura of those two monsters was probably no weaker than that of the Earth Dragon Turtle; they were at least at the eighth rank!
"No wonder I've been in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for so long but haven't seen the legendary eighth-tier ferocious beast. So, this eighth-tier ferocious beast has already been tamed? Is this... the foundation of Ten Thousand Beasts City?"
"The Queen of Beasts? Interesting!"
Xiao Yu's gaze was fixed on the two enormous creatures, and he became increasingly interested in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
What kind of being is this legendary Queen of Beasts?
They were able to tame two peerless ferocious beasts of the eighth rank, making them guard the house like loyal dogs.
Just as alarmed as the Earth Dragon Turtle were the people of Ten Thousand Beasts City.
As the earth dragon turtle approached, countless beastmen stopped what they were doing and looked at the giant beast in horror.
"Hiss! There are such monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range? How is that possible?"
"Yes! The Queen has subdued the only two Tier 8 beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Where did this enormous monster, whose power is no less than those two giant beasts, come from?"
"No matter where it came from, we must stop it!"
"That's right! If it manages to break into the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, our home will be completely destroyed!"
Although the beastmen were intimidated by the size and power of the earth dragon turtle.
However... it still didn't affect their morale.
"Is this the Dragon City that the third brother mentioned? It's so big!"
At this moment, thousands of orc warriors, armed with spears, axes, and other weapons, stood ready for battle.
Leading the group were the two city lords, Hou Ji and Zhu Gang.
The two men felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the monster charging towards them like a mountain.
It's not that I think I can't beat them.
The main problem is that this monster is too huge.
Once it charges into the City of Beasts...
The city of beasts that the queen painstakingly built will surely be destroyed.
The earth dragon turtle was getting closer and closer, less than ten miles away.
Every step the earth dragon turtle took caused a slight earthquake, and the ground shook.
Both of them were a little nervous.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Pig Gang roared, his eyes flashing with fierce light.
As he spoke, he raised a giant axe nearly three meters long and was about to lead the charge.
Upon seeing this, the orc warriors immediately prepared to attack.
"Wait!" Just then, Hou Ji raised his hand to stop them, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Suddenly, the earth dragon turtle paused and stopped.
They stopped five kilometers away from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and refused to move forward another step.
Then, a stone house on the earth dragon turtle quickly descended and opened its door.
A group of people rushed out, and the one leading them was none other than the Third City Lord, Gou Dao.
The remaining hundred or so were the orc warriors guarding the salt mine.
"Third brother, is that really you? You're finally back!"
"Big brother! Second brother! We've finally met!"
Hou Ji, Zhu Gang, and Gou Dao, along with their two brothers, had relied on each other for survival since they were young.
Since Gou Dao left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to guard the salt mine, the three brothers have never reunited.
This time, Gou Dao almost lost his life, and the three brothers had not seen each other for several years, so they were naturally very excited.
"Third brother, what exactly happened to you at the salt mine? What about those humans? Is there some kind of conspiracy?" After confirming that Gou Dao was safe and sound, Zhu Gang couldn't wait to ask.
Humans driving this behemoth to block the entrance to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is nothing short of a provocation.
City Lord Hou Ji also looked at Gou Dao with a serious expression, wanting to know what was going on.
Little did they know that when Xiao Yu visited other cities, he always stopped within a kilometer of the city gate.
This time, stopping five kilometers away is already giving the City of Beasts a lot of face.
"Brothers, please don't misunderstand! The Lord of Dragon City is a friend of us orcs and has done us a great favor. We must not antagonize him!" Third Lord Gou Dao quickly explained.
He had personally witnessed how Longcheng casually wiped out most of Black Soil City's elite forces.
If Beast City and Dragon City were to fight each other, even if Beast City were to win, it would likely suffer heavy casualties.
Thinking of something, Gou Dao asked again, "Where is Her Majesty the Queen? Is she alright?"
"Her Majesty the Queen..."
Upon hearing this, Hou Ji and Zhu Gang exchanged a glance and gave each other a bitter smile.
The joy brought by the reunion of the three brothers vanished instantly.
"Third brother, you need to prepare yourself mentally, the Queen... doesn't have much time left!"
Finally, Hou Ji shook his head with a wry smile and could only truthfully recount the Queen's recent situation.
"Six months ago, we could still go into the cave to see the Queen. But in the last six months..." Pig Gang's eyes were also filled with resentment, anger, and impotent rage.
"What? You haven't eaten for months?"
Upon learning of the Queen's current situation, Gou Dao trembled all over.
Upon returning to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, they saw that black mist was gradually spreading throughout the city.
He already had a bad feeling.
But now, hearing what her two older brothers said, her heart sank even further.
Her Majesty's condition is far more serious than he imagined!
"Oh, right, my two older brothers!"
Gou Dao suddenly remembered everything he had seen in Dragon City and said anxiously, "I sent you a telepathic message saying that I had found a medicine that could cure her, and asked you to prepare the energy stones for the transaction..."
"Medications? They're useless! None of them work! We've tried them all..."
“That’s right! In order to cure the Queen, my brothers and I searched through all the dangerous forbidden areas of the Beast Mountain Range and obtained a lot of high-level herbs, but these were completely ineffective for the Queen.”
"what?"
