Chapter 259 Surge Of Beasts
"What''s happening? Can you hear the roars of the beasts? It sounds like there are endless beasts!
They must be getting closer and closer!" Tyson knitted his eyebrows together and gazed into the
distance anxiously.
His heart was beating faster and faster. He had an ominous feeling that something terrible was
approaching them.
Without any hesitation, Ricky, Tyson, and Kristen rushed out of the room. They were soon surrounded
by the warriors of the Manor Gang who had also sensed the danger that was approaching.
"Leaders, what''s happening?" the warriors asked anxiously.
"We''ll talk about itter. For right now, just close the gates! Be quick about it!" After the gates were
closed, Kristen directed several warriors to reinforce their castle''s defenses. "Listen to those fierce
roars! It must be a great surge of beasts!" said Kristen with a sullen look on her face.
"What? A surge of beasts?!" The warriors were taken aback; they were left exchanging scared nces
with each other.
They all knew what a surge of beasts meant for them. It was a catastrophe that wasing for the
warriors.
A surge of beasts, just as its name implied, meant that the beasts living in the mountains entered an
almost rabid frenzy for some unknown reason. Due to that frenzy, all they wanted to do was to kill
humans, especially any warriors they could find.
The beasts would then gather together and attack the residence they found recklessly.
After a terrible fight, both the beasts and the human warriors would surely suffer great losses. It tended
to be a lose-lose situation, but it still happened regrly in some areas.
"That...can''t be possible! There has never been a surge of beasts in the Chaotic Region!"
"Yes! We''ve never heard of it happening here before!" The members were astonished by her words.
They didn''t believe what she told them.
They did have reason to question her. Surges of beasts only happened in certain specific ces and
times. Since no one had ever experienced a surge of beasts in that particr area before, it was
reasonable to doubt that there ever could be one in the Chaotic Region.

"Yes! I agree with the warriors. Kristen, I don''t think it is a surge of beasts," Ricky said and shook his
head slightly.
"It''s getting closer. Let''s go to the top of the castle and see if we can make out what that noise is!"
"Hurry up!" Kristenmanded. Despite the situation she kept herposure. .
Soon, all the members gathered at the top of the castle.
The moment they saw what was happening, they froze in terror. Their eyes were fixed on the scene
approaching from the distance.
Standing on the castle, they could clearly see hundreds of thousands of beasts swarming in the
distance like the dark clouds of a gathering storm front. Wolves, tigers, and leopards were sprinting
against the ins. Vultures, eagles, and pterodactyls were tearing through the sky. Just like an endless
tide, the beasts were rushing over the ground at an amazing speed.
It wasn''t only the Lower Region that the beasts were upying, the beasts were covering the
mountains that made up the Middle Region as well. Obviously, both the Lower Region and the Middle
Region were being attacked by a surge of beasts.
"How...how is this possible?! I can''t believe it! It really is a surge of beasts!" A warrior shouted in a
tremulously frightened voice. His face had gone pale with fear. Almost all of the warriors of the Manor
Gang were terrified of the horde of beasts. They had never experienced a surge of beasts before. They
did not know how to deal with such a terrible situation.
What was worse, they could see many warriors fleeing from the mountains. The warriors were being
trampled to death by the rabid beasts.
Wherever the beasts passed, nothing was left except dead bodies, fire, and blood.
"I can''t believe it! How can there be a surge of beasts in the Chaotic Region? How can there be one on
such a huge scale?!" Trent eximed, his eyes widening.
"Guys! Don''t panic! Since it hase here, we should just take up our weapons and fight with the
beasts. It''s of no use being afraid. If we have to die, we will die on the battlefield with weapons in our
hands. We won''t die from being scared or trampled to death!"
Ricky drew his Iron Destroyer and stepped forward. A murderous aura rose from his body and
surrounded him.
"Let''s fight!"
Encouraged by Ricky''s words, the warriors were no longer afraid. They all pulled out their weapons and
shouted their battle cries.
At the same time, the warriors in other nearby castles were also facing the same situation. There was
no where to hide for any of them. They had no choice but to confront the beasts directly. No matter how
fast they ran, they were no match for the beasts flying through the sky.
It didn''t take long for the beasts to arrive at the castle. All kinds of huge birds withrge wings, sharp
ws, and beaks obscured the sun.
The walls were too vulnerable to defend against their attacks. The bricks soon fell apart and were soon
smashed into pieces. The war had begun against several castles.
Shortly after, the battle had spread to the whole Lower Region when the beasts on the ground arrived.
The Middle Region were not immune to the surge of beasts. All of the gangs had gone into the battle.
As for the Upper Region, the beasts were still far away from it. They couldn''t clearly see what was
happening, but could sense that there was a lot of killing and bloodshed happening nearby. Apparently,
the whole Chaotic Region was affected by the surge of beasts.
The battle went on for more than half a day.
When everything hade to an end, the soil of the Lower Region was trodden red with blood.
Dead bodies of the beasts and the warriors were scattered everywhere the eye could see.
Some small castles could not stand the attack of the wild beasts; those castles had been reduced to
jagged stumps in the ground.
Both the beasts and the warriors had suffered great losses that day.
"Good heavens! When on earth will the beasts go back to their homes?!" Though the warriors were
used to seeing killing and blood, it was the first time that they had seen such a terrible battle. Seeing
the mass of beastsing toward them, they had had no choice but to pray for help from God.
Maybe God had heard their prayers after all. Unexpectedly, the beasts suddenly retreated all at once.
The warriors were more than surprised when the beasts fled. Their rejoicing at it overwhelmed the
doubt and suspicion that the beasts might return. They had survived the surge of the beasts.
Through the whole event, no one had noticed why exactly the beast surge was so very strange though.
In the past, when the surge of beasts receded, the surviving beasts would flee anxiously back to the
mountains. After the battle that just happened, the beasts seemed to have made a n beforehand.
Before leaving, each of them seized the corpses of several warriors. .
After the surge of beasts, many small gangs were entirely destroyed. The stronger ones also suffered
great losses from the struggle.
It was actually a great opportunity for some gangs to improve their status. Most gangs were too busy to
think about that though. To them, the first priority was to recover from the effects of the beast''s
invasion.
It was not until half a monthter that the gangs regained their vigor.
Then, it was time for the leaders and warriors to sit down and discuss the n for their next step. .
In one of the halls of the Manor Gang, Ricky, Tyson, and Kristen gathered together. They were worried
about the future of their gang.
"The surge of beasts messed up our original n. If there hadn''t been such a disaster, we would have
been making our way to the Middle Region by now. Now we have to put that n on the back burner,"
Ricky said in a dejected tone.
"Who''d have thought that would happen! Maybe it was just the will of the Heavens." Tyson shook his
head. "Our gang has suffered a great deal this time. All of our shops were destroyed. We also lost
nearly one fourth of our warriors."
"Let''s not waste our timeining. We''ll wait patiently for a new opportunity," Kristen said in a low
but firm voice. "Though this is a great time for us to step into the Middle Region, we can''t just go and
leave this awful mess to Trent and Bastian."
"Oh, Kristen. I have a question. You said that, during the surge of beasts, the beasts would enter an
almost rabid frenzy and all they wanted to do was to kill. Is that always the case?" Suddenly, something
strange sprang to Ricky''s mind and he had to ask.
