Chapter 97: Chapter 97, Solved With A Change Of Train Of Thought

It was peaceful outside of Freedom City.

“He actually escaped!”

Several generals who were subordinate to Freedom City felt that it was unbelievable.

This was the siege of hundreds of thousands of beasts!

If it was changed to an ordinary fourth-stage awakened, forget about saving people, even protecting themselves would be a problem.

In the end, you, a third-stage spiritual cultivator, single-handedly fished 100,000 people out of the sea of beasts?

Ridiculous!

Unreasonable!

If such a feat were to be spread out, perhaps no one would believe it!

Apart from being surprised, their impression of He Chuan also changed quite a bit.

If there was still hostility before, now there was only respect for his strength.

Because they knew.

They were not qualified to be He Chuan’s enemy.

Under this psychological influence, all the higher-ups of Freedom City began to restrain their troops, making them obey He Chuan’s orders entirely and treat him as the highest entity.

Needless to say, the ordinary people.

They were rootless duckweed to begin with, only knowing how to drift with the tide.

Only some merchants and family members with a bit of fame could have a say in some small matters.

On the other hand, the awakened ones were a bit dishonest and wanted to leave one by one.

They all felt Glory City was not a good place to go and planned to leave the team and fly alone.

He Chuan did not stop them.

This group of people either wanted thieves or scumbags who caused trouble. Because of various reasons, they were forced to come to Freedom City to survive.

To them, Freedom City was just a shelter. The little sense of belonging disappeared with the destruction of Freedom City.

The lives of 100,000 people and soldiers were even less important.

To bring such a person to Glory City, even if they were a spiritual cultivator, they would not be of much help.

They might even cause him trouble.

Very quickly, as the awakened left the team one after another, the fighting strength of the entire team also decreased sharply.

The people had some complaints about this, and uneasiness spread in everyone’s hearts.

The army was still alright. It seemed that the mental quality of the soldiers in Freedom City was pretty good. There were no riots.

With their help in restraining the people, it did not cause much of a problem for He Chuan.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to make preparations in advance to deal with the possible dangers that might follow.

He Chuan looked down at the entire scene from midair. Looking at the vast and mighty army under his feet, he felt a little troubled.

The movement caused by the marching of ten thousand people was really too big.

The strange beasts were born with keen senses. He believed that they would be besieged by them very soon.

Now that the main force had entered the dense forest, fighting in such an environment was very disadvantageous to them.

The most significant limitation was that He Chuan couldn’t abuse his innate ability.

Otherwise, once a forest of fire was triggered, the civilians and the army wouldn’t be able to move in time.

What should he do…

He Chuan looked at the army.

As they had fled from Freedom City in a hurry, they didn’t have enough supplies.

He didn’t bring any spirit crystals or heavy armor or shields.

They even had only brought a small portion of inscription arrows that Freedom City had spent a lot of money to buy, which could easily penetrate the fur of a second-stage strange beast.

In order to leave Freedom City as quickly as possible, all the soldiers had to travel light. In the eyes of the un-awakened strange beasts, they were just a pile of meat that could move.

Well…

There were only four magic cannons left.

He had personally moved them down from the city tower. It was just that he had acted too hastily back then and hadn’t noticed three of them had been destroyed. As a result, only one of them was of use now.

Could he do something about it?

He Chuan closed his eyes and started deducing.

His brain was working rapidly. Very soon, the deducing system gave him an interesting answer.

[The success rate of using the magic cannon to resist beast tide is 0.00006%. The success rate of utilizing the magic cannon to resist the beast tide is 73.81%!]

What does it mean?

Was the deduction system broken?

He Chuan frowned slightly, but soon, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

As expected of the deduction system, it helped him find the key to solving the problem so quickly.

In fact, facing the potential danger of the beast tide attacking, he should not have thought about how to face them.

To be honest, if he wanted to ensure the safety of 100,000 people and soldiers in the wild, it would be impossible without the protection of more than twice the number of awakened ones.

However, as long as he simply changed his train of thought and prevented the beast tide from attacking, the problem would be solved.

It was not difficult to do this. He just needed to create a bigger commotion in the distance to cover up the noise of the army’s movement, and attract the attention of the beast tide.

The magic cannon was the best choice.

However, he didn’t have any spirit crystals on hand, so he could only hunt on the spot.

He Chuan immediately took action.

He directly hunted dozens of strange beasts nearby as reserves. He brought the magic cannon high up in the sky and fired at the area thousands of meters away from both sides of the team.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sound continued without end.

With the spread of a highly terrifying energy shock, he attracted the attention of many strange beasts at once.

He Chuan could clearly see that all the strange beasts within a few hundred meters from where the cannonball had landed were rushing over.

Not bad!

The effect was excellent!

He had only used a second-tier spiritual crystal just now. It should have been more effective if it had been a third-tier spiritual crystal.

However, he still had to pay attention to the shockwave range.

If he had missed, the casualties caused would definitely be much greater than the beast tide’s attack.

Apart from that, they also had to pay attention to the strange beasts in the blind spots.

They had already sneaked close to the team, ready to attack at any time.

He Chuan had no time to split himself up, so it was difficult for him to react at the first moment.

Fortunately, there were still a dozen or so third-stage awakened generals in the army.

With their help and the few inscription arrows the soldiers carried, they could stabilize the situation as long as they didn’t encounter a fourth-stage strange beast.

With the help of many people, the team advanced steadily.

After two days and two nights of arduous travel, they finally arrived at the deserted Gobi Desert
