The clock had counted down and finally they were only five minutes away from the release of the beast wave.
There were many times where the young geniuses had wanted to do something during this arduous wait, but there was nothing they could do. They searched through every part of the room, they even tried breaking down the walls several times, but nothing worked.
In the end, they had considered sacrificing each other, but naturally this was also impossible for the twins. If there had been one more of them there, they might have turned on the other two and trapped them to escape, but there wasn't.
In their darkest moments, they had even considered just ending it all by fighting Lin Fan, but they held back in the end.
Finally the time was here, so Lin Fan and Angela stood up from their seats and headed towards the passage they had taken to arrive at this room.
The three young geniuses hesitated a bit before following behind them, but they were stopped by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan raised his hand and stopped them from following him, while also bringing out Rocky. He then said, "You stay in here, we'll take care of it. Rocky will block off the door."
Yue Jin hesitated a bit before saying, "But…"
But Lin Fan didn't let him continue, "You'll just hold us back."
There were unwilling looks on the faces of the three young geniuses, but there was nothing they could say in response to this since it was true.
They did believe that they would be able to reach Lin Fan's level one day, but they knew that they couldn't reach it now. Indeed, if they were to go out, they might be a burden to him.
Even now, they still couldn't understand what Lin Fan was still protecting them and to be honest, even Lin Fan didn't understand it. It was just a strange feeling that felt like he should keep his promise.
So after leaving the three of them in the room, Lin Fan had Rocky create a wall of rocks in the passage that blocked off that room.
The sad thing would be if the beast wave didn't come from this side and came from the side of the exit instead, but luckily that wasn't the case.
The minute the clock ran down, they could hear the sound of beast roars coming in front and they were slowly approaching.
It didn't seem like the beast were that far based on the roars they could hear. It was almost as if the moment the beast wave appeared, they came from inside this tunnel.
However remembering how they had even been sent into this pyramid, it did make sense. Lord Jin had control of spatial laws, that meant that he could easily transport this beast wave wherever he wanted.
But even with the wave of beasts that were approaching, Lin Fan wasn't worried. Even if there were thousands of them according to Brainy's scouts, Lin Fan looked as relaxed as always standing at the end of this passage.
With a single snap of his finger, there was another army that had suddenly appeared.
There were giant ants and giant spiders that had appeared behind him, as well as some Platinum Realm beasts with glazed over eyes.
This was the army that he had slowly built with Brainy and now it was ready to be used.
The ones observing already knew that Lin Fan had tamed the Brood Mother Spider and various other beasts, so they weren't surprised to see this army appear. They were however surprised since it normally took Brood Mother Spiders over twelve hours to spawn a new brood, but only a little more than six hours had passed. Somehow this human had found a way to let the Brood Mother Spider breed in just six hours.
Actually, that was due to Lin Fan's system's storage. The system's storage actually created a space where time was warped with time laws, which allowed eggs to hatch faster than they normally would.
The Brood Mother Spider eggs normally took twelve hours to hatch, but in the system's storage, they had only taken two hours. And that was even at the current limit authority that Lin Fan had.
If he were to level up the system or increase its grade again, the time distortion would become stronger and it would take even less time for these eggs to hatch.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Brood Mother Spider was molting to heal its broken legs, it would have been able to lay two more batches that could have all hatched by now. But for now, he just used what he had.
The trembling on the ground became stronger and stronger as the beast wave approached and it really did tremble with just how many beasts there were in that wave.
Lin Fan could see the dust being raised in the distance as they charged at him and he revealed a faint smile. With a nod to Angela, both of them moved to their location in the formation.
Angela was standing in the back with blades of wind all around her, along with some Platinum Realm beasts that had the ability to attack from afar. In the front was Lin Fan with Silver Realm Desert Horrors all around him, forming a defensive line. And then right in the middle, there were the spiders that were hiding behind the legions of Desert Horrors.
As the wave of beasts approached, the spiders began shooting out webs that slowed down the charge of the beasts in front. With the large amount of beasts that were in the beast wave, the moment the ones in front slowed down, they were trampled under the momentum of the rest of the beast wave.
The ones that were behind the ones in front trampled over their bodies to get over the webs, but all that they received as a prize was charging forward were more webs and a face full of wind blades.
Angela's wind blades completely cut down the waves of beasts that charged forward, reaping them like a scythe cutting through ears of wheat. But that didn't matter since it was only a small portion of the entire beast wave that she cut down. Even if she cut them down, there was plenty of fodder behind the first wave to replace that wave.
The beast wave slowly charged forward and eventually they made their way right in front of the defensive line that Lin Fan was leading. Right when they were about to slam into it, Lin Fan brought down the giant zweihander sword that he had been lifting the entire time.
The smashing down of the zweihander sword created a giant slashing shockwave that pushed away all the beasts that had been nearby. At the same, the downward slash created a slash of wind that cut right through the hallway, slashing through beast after beast.
This was a very narrow passage, so the number of beasts that could charge forward were limited. Most of them had been trapped by the webs and the ones that did make it through were all slammed away by Lin Fan's single downward sweep.
The slash of wind continued forward, cutting down beast after beast without stop. It almost seemed like it would never stop, but then it reached a Platinum Realm beast and it finally stopped. However, even though it had been stopped, that didn't mean the Platinum Realm beast got out unscathed.
The Platinum Realm beast took the hit head on, trying to block it with its defenses alone, but it didn't work. Even if the slash had already been weakened by the hordes of beasts in front of it, the slash still cut through the entire Platinum Realm beast.
Well, not exactly clean through the Platinum Realm beast, leaving only a tiny sliver of skin and muscle at the back of this Platinum Realm beast.
The two cleaved sides were like a sack that had been split in the middle, but it hadn't been split cleanly, so it spilled all of its contents onto the ground.
This attack didn't end there, Lin Fan whirled his sword around to create another slash that was aimed at another Platinum Realm beast.
This time, the Platinum Realm beasts were much smarter and didn't dare take this attack head on, but that didn't mean that the attack would stop. The slash went through the waves of beasts and continued down the passage even beyond the beast wave. No one knew how long it went, but it just kept going.
But when the Platinum Realm beasts dodged, there would be one that would receive a barrage of attacks from Angela and the Platinum Realm beasts controlled by Brainy. This barrage of attacks completely swallowed that Platinum Realm beast and they didn't even know how they died as they fell under this barrage.
They continued this meat grinder, cutting down all the beasts that charged forward without fear of death.
Lin Fan normally would have run out of life energy with this wild attack, but there was currently a suction force that was around his sword. Every time he swung it to send out an attack, he regained most of the life energy he had spent.
There were a few stragglers that made it through the meat grinder that was Lin Fan's blade, but they were quickly taken care of by the Desert Horrors and the spiders. Being ganged up on, the stragglers didn't even have a chance.
It only took them a total of ten minutes to completely cut down this beast wave.
