Chapter 87: Beast God Family (Second Update)
On the city wall of Xiling, all the soldiers were cheering wildly, some took out wine and others jumped up to dance.
And at the corner of the city wall, Murong Xingchen glanced at the corpses of several beastman soldiers in front of him. These corpses were all black, with black blood flowing from their seven orifices.
Her expression was somewhat complex, and with a light sigh, she slipped her small white hand back into the black glove. If it weren't for the beastman army's timely retreat, she would have gone on a killing spree, even if it meant she'd no longer have a place in this world...
She just didn't want anything to happen to Zhi Bei!
"It's snowing." Murong Xingchen softly exclaimed.
Snow knew what Murong Xingchen was calling her for, and with the next spirit magic, this corpse turned into ashes.
"Star Master, that shameless scoundrel actually has some skills. It seems he's taken control of the leader of this beastman army," said Smoke Spirit.
"Even if there are thousands of people, I'll go to him. Qi Bei is really awesome!" Like Wind's face was filled with adoration, forgetting the first time he met Qi Bei and was scared to the point of losing his composure and crying uncontrollably.
"Yes, he's actually quite capable and a good match for Xing Zhu." said Piao Xue with wide eyes.
Murong Xingchen glanced at the three maidservants, and instantly all three of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
"We're going back." Murong Xingchen said, turning his wheelchair and leaving the city wall. The three girls hastily followed him, exchanging glances behind his back.
Murong Xingchen's beautiful eyes seemed a bit dim, he was destined to accept the heroic cheers, while she could only silently hide in the shadows forever.

In the central tent of the Beastman army, Jinguo woke up from his coma.
"Lord." The Lionman tribe leader, Kuro, excitedly knelt down on the ground, facing Ginga.
Jin Gang glanced at Ke Luo, ignoring him, and struggled to get up, facing Bei Dao: "Young master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just sit down. Your body is naturally weak after a violent transformation, and you've overdrawn your time, so you need to rest for two days to recover." Qi Bei placed his hand on Jīn Gāng's shoulder and pressed him back into his seat.
Looking at Jin Gang's attitude towards Bei, Kro's face changed slightly, and a hint of anger surged in the depths of his eyes.
"Kro, I remember you." Jin Gang stared at Kro with a pair of copper bell-like big eyes gleaming with ferocity, pointing at Kro's forehead and saying: "You were once under my father's command. When my family encountered disaster, where were you?"
"Young master, Kero will never betray the great Beast God family. At that time, when Your Majesty took action against the leader, I was ordered to go to the Dream Sea of the Five Great Sacred Lands for help. I held the token and knelt on the beach for ten days and nights before a disciple of the Dream Sea came out. Immediately, an elder from the Dream Sea rushed over, but it was already too late..." Kero wailed in grief, punching the ground with his fists.
Zi Bei looked at Kroe, his pain and self-blame didn't seem fake.
Jin Gang's face slightly cleared up, apparently he also believed Kro's words.
"I know the young master and miss have escaped, and people have been searching for them all along. However, a leader's grudge cannot go unavenged, so I brought my tribe to join forces with the Rhinoceros Tribe." Kluo calmed down and continued.
"Revenge? The leader of the Unicorn Rhinoceros tribe, even if he defeated Bimon and the Violet Gold Beastmen, do you think he doesn't need the support of the Witch God? Although it was the Bimon royal family that took action at the time, in reality, it was the Witch God who wanted to destroy our Beast God family." Jīn Gāng said coldly, his usual wooden demeanor standing behind Qi Bei suddenly speaking up, revealing his meticulous thoughts.
"Ke Luo is stupid, afterwards Ke Luo followed Young Master's side, for Young Master to charge and break through the battlefield." Ke Luo loudly pledged allegiance.
Jin Gang looked towards Qi Bei, and Qi Bei nodded at him.
Loyalty to King Kong is equivalent to loyalty to He Ziqi Bei, and suddenly there were tens of thousands more beastman troops, his strength expanded several times at once.
Qibi rode on the back of Jinzi, the Golden Lion King. Jinzi was indeed a sixth-level magical beast, and although it had been pierced by dozens of small holes by the witch spirit, it hadn't been injured at all. It quickly recovered and became lively again. If something really happened, Qibi didn't know how to explain it to Yan Fangfei yet.
A mighty army of fifty thousand beastmen followed in his wake, entering Western Spirit City amidst a tidal wave of cheers on the city walls.
Whether they were newly recruited soldiers or adventurers who came to watch the excitement, their gaze towards Qi Bei was completely different. In their eyes, Qi Bei was a hero who had single-handedly turned the tide of battle and surrendered 500,000 beastmen.
I go alone with a thousand troops and ten thousand horses! Brave!
Talk and laugh to surrender the beastman army! Wisdom!
If before in Western Spirit City, Ziqi's prestige only made people feel fear towards him, then now, his prestige was established on the reverence people had for him.
War is always the most convenient way to concentrate prestige.
"Hail to the castle lord! Hail to the castle lord!"
Listening to the thunderous shouts of the soldiers and the residents of Xiling City, Qi Bei only felt that something in his heart was awakening, and he liked this feeling.
A part of the beastman army began to set up defenses in the city, while another part camped out in the open spaces outside West Spirit City.
"Lord, in this battle, 18 Black Armor soldiers died and 105 were injured, with 30 seriously wounded. The City Guard had 1,053 soldiers, 3,800 were injured, with 700 seriously wounded. 63 magicians died, 13 of whom were killed by the Winged People's troops who charged in without regard for their lives." Huo Lie reported the casualties of this battle.
Zi Bei's heart skipped a beat, and the 230 Black Armor Army lost another 48 combatants, which were the backbone of his army development. Thirteen mages also died. Although this loss was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of casualties suffered by the Beastmen, he couldn't afford it.
Fortunately, this beastman army was under his command, otherwise, Ziqi would have been heartbroken to death.
"The brothers of the dead will be heavily compensated, and the funeral expenses will be doubled. Qi Bei sighed and said that the pursuing troops of the Meng tribe would arrive soon, and it seemed that there would still be a fierce battle ahead."
Zi Bei sat alone in the backyard of the city master's mansion, his eyes staring blankly into the darkening sky, lost in his own thoughts.
"I must assemble an elite team in a short period of time, this border is getting increasingly chaotic..." Qi Bei muttered to himself. The internal strife of the beastman tribes has spilled over and invaded, putting immense pressure on the Golden Leaf Border, but this solitary northwestern city was even more at the forefront.
What is meant by elite troops is not just about strict discipline and strong military force and equipment, but most fundamentally, it is to inject the army with a fighting spirit.
The military soul of the Black Armor Army was infused by the Norden family, and the Norden family is their faith.
"My troops, faith can only be in me! Their military soul can only be forged by me." Qi Bei's eyes focused and shone brightly.
At this time, Qi Bei had already had the idea of leaving the Nuo De family and standing on his own.
