Chapter 133: Meeting in the Side Hall, Disaster of the Beast TideMaster Shangxuan's words made the other elders feel a little guilty. When you are in a high position, it is often easy to lose touch with reality. This is the case with Su Chen. Are the other disciples also like this? If so, why are the sect disciples unwilling to practice the Tiangang City's skills? It’s because the skills they have access to are not profound enough. Or is it that in order to learn those skills, it would require too much contribution points, making it unaffordable for the disciples? Seeing that the elders beside him did not speak, Master Shangxuan continued to speak. “It is indeed our good fortune that Su Chen can come to Tiangang City. At the beginning, we old guys almost drove him away. Thinking about it now, I am even a little scared. "
Su Chen probably felt that Master Shangxuan's words were a bit exaggerated when he heard them. But the other elders could understand Master Shangxuan’s feelings. Last year in Tiangang City, these elders were really overwhelmed. The front line of defense is faced with the attacks of monsters, and Tiangang City is unable to completely block them. Monsters often jump over the defense lines and infiltrate the cities in the rear. These little demons may not be very powerful in front of people who practice cultivation. As long as you pay a little more attention, you can easily kill them all. However, the common people living in the city are like fish to be slaughtered at will. The little demon is also extremely good at hiding. Just like the civet cat monster that Su Chen helped to catch when he first came to Tiangang City. The raccoon cat demon hid on the side wall of the well. How can ordinary people find it out? Last year in Tiangang City, the front line was tight and the rear line also encountered a lot of troubles. It's a dilemma and both sides are uncomfortable. Since the beginning of winter, these elders have not had any rest. Basically, we are discussing countermeasures every day so that after the spring, we can keep those monsters out of the wilderness. But unexpectedly, after Su Chen arrived, the situation was easily reversed. The other elders understood very well what Master Shangxuan meant by “fear of the aftermath”. Because they are actually afraid too. If it weren't for Su Chen, Tiangang City would most likely continue to face crazy attacks from monsters this year.
It is even possible that it will get worse. After all, those monsters have always been bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If they fail to resolve the problem, they will have to wait for more attacks from the monsters. They, the elders, can clarify the facts. Combining the experience of Yunyang Sect, we know the important role Su Chen played in it. The Yunyang Sect has already demonstrated this kind of thing this year. Tiangang City could basically foresee what happened to the Yunyang Sect. If you keep suffering at the hands of monsters, you will suffer even greater losses. “Everyone should pay more attention to Su Chen in the future. Now we only see him contributing to Tiangang City, but the benefits that Tiangang City gives him are much less. This kind of relationship cannot last long.” After hearing what Master Shangxuan said, the third elder on the side had something to say. “He is now a direct disciple of the sect, and the sect will give him some medicinal resources every month. And in the library, he can borrow books at will." Before he could finish his words, Master Shang Xuan waved his hand, signaling him not to continue. "Giving only that little medicinal resource in a month is not worth mentioning for an extremely outstanding disciple. There is also a bookstore where you can borrow books. You can take a look at Su Chen's martial arts. Is there any skill in the library that is more exquisite than the moves he has learned? Only the "Walking Cloud Step" is a physical move of our Tiangang City, which is a bit shabby to talk about. Think about it, if you think it's appropriate. I want to take care of Su Chen in the same way as I treated Gu Feng in the future." As soon as he finished speaking, the other elders beside him seemed to have something to say. Master Shangxuan waved his hand and did not allow them to interrupt. “Think about it, think carefully about Su Chen’s contribution to the sect, as well as his talent and potential. Think it through before giving your opinion. In addition, Su Chen went into the wilderness alone to conduct reconnaissance some time ago. A letter was submitted yesterday, summarizing the information he had discovered in the wilderness. I have asked someone to copy it down. Each of you should take a copy and read the message Su Chen sent back. What is spying? How should this spying mission be carried out? Take a closer look at it."
Several elders stepped forward and took the copied letter from Master Shangxuan. After reading the letter, they finally understood why Master Shangxuan said so. Su Chen compiled the information and summarized it in general terms based on time and place. Then, we present the events from two perspectives: what we saw and what we heard. The matters written above also give my own opinions, relevant speculations and basis. If the text description contains more complex content, Su Chen will also draw a simple sketch next to it. For example, Su Chen hand-drew the scene where monsters gathered at that time. The entire summary of the news is clear and concise, yet the content is detailed. The guesses given by Su Chen also serve as a reminder for readers. In the past, some people sent messages that, after reading the text, seemed to be trivial matters, but turned out to be matters that required the sect to deal with them with all its strength. Su Chen gave some opinions in this way, and when everyone read it, they also had an estimate of the seriousness of the matters mentioned above. Seeing the admiration on the faces of the elders, Master Shang Xuan at the side couldn't help but snort. “I don’t mean to say that other disciples are incapable. But compared to the results obtained by Su Chen during his spy mission, the gap is indeed too big." The fourth elder on the side frowned slightly. "Great Elder, did Su Chen really go hundreds of miles away to gather information? It’s not that I don’t want to believe, it’s just that I have to walk hundreds of miles in the wilderness.” Hearing this, the Great Elder nodded calmly. “Don’t worry, there’s no need to worry that Su Chen is talking nonsense. If he really wanted to seek more credit, given his contributions on the front line, he should have told us that there was no need to take such a risk. Moreover, the information he reported also included another simple map. It also depicts the path I took along the way, and even the geological features, with notes.” As he spoke, Master Shangxuan also took out the map and handed it to the others to see. If in doubt, they can simply follow the map and take the route again. This map also proves that what Su Chen said is true. "If the news is true, then the monsters gathered here, it is very likely a beast tide." "If hundreds of thousands of monsters gather together and come out in full force..." A hint of worry unconsciously appeared on the faces of several elders.
The information provided by Su Chen has basically confirmed that the beast tide is really forming. “From the information Su Chen provided, the beast tide on the northeast side should still be in the formation stage. The number of monsters gathered there did not exceed ten thousand, and they were still in the early stages of the formation of a beast tide. If we deal with it well, we may be able to prevent the beast tide from turning into a sudden change and stop it completely." While the Third Elder was speaking, the Fourth Elder beside him seemed to have thought of something and his expression became more serious. Today is Chapter 4~
