Chapter 228: Chapter 222: Formation of the Beast Tide

“Run!”

Hearing the loud shouts from afar, David Jones looked curiously at their retreating backs.

Two Class III Commander-level pet beasts were enough for this two-person team to roam freely on the third floor of the Earth Labyrinth. What could possibly make them so nervous?

With that thought, David glanced at the Void Stone bracelet on his wrist and the Rainbow, a grin of excitement spreading across his face.

“Could it be a small-scale Beast Tide? Exciting!”

Soon, a sweat-drenched Claire Guarneri and Quentin Scott recognized David and his pet.

“A Titanium Ragdoll? David Jones from Waterland City? The recent top-grade genius everyone’s talking about!”

Claire quickly identified David’s information.

On the other hand, Quentin Scott, who had been running too fast to think, felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw the Titanium Ragdoll.

“I don’t know how this young man got to the third floor, but his pet is only an Intermediate-level creature. Has he gone mad? Standing still like this is no different than courting death!”

So, as David passed by them, his gaze met a pair of light purple eyes.

Seeing that David didn’t heed his call, Quentin tried to reach out and pull David to run with him in the fleeting moment they crossed paths, but David dodged his hand.

“You guys just run,” David said.

Seeing Quentin’s surprised expression, David casually spoke as if not caring and looked excitedly at the approaching shadow in the distance.

“Sure enough, Rainbow’s Psychic Perception was not wrong. It’s really a small-scale Beast Tide.”

Since David knew that the exam results were based on the performance of the candidates, he wouldn’t pass up an opportunity like this to improve his evaluation score.

“Damned fool can’t be persuaded,” Quentin thought as he kept running.

On the contrary, Claire slowed down. Taking a breath, she said with a serious expression, “There are over 300 beasts chasing us, including more than 20 lower-level Class IV Elite creatures and even three upper-level Class IV Commander beasts. With this lineup, even using the Void Stone Bracelet might not save us in time. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Facing the girl’s question, David raised an eyebrow, “How do we know who lives or dies without trying?”

Wen Yan’s smile appeared on Claire’s face, “Quentin, stop running, and get ready to fight.”

They had managed to run this far because they had eliminated some beasts along the way. However, if they kept fleeing like this, they might encounter more powerful groups of beasts before they encountered other powerful candidates, which could easily lead to their elimination.

Although she still believed that the Beast Tide was unbeatable, since she had now encountered a genius candidate full of confidence, she wanted to see for herself the true worth of an SSS-class genius.

It should be known that even her pet’s full-powered Furious Roar had been instantly shattered by the three upper-level Class IV beasts, causing no damage to the Beast Tide at all.

She didn’t think any freshman Trainer could withstand such a terrifying Beast Tide.

However, as long as she defeated enough beasts before withdrawing, she could still push her ranking into the top ten of this exam.

“That’s what we should have done!” Quentin stopped without hesitation.

The adventure in the Earth Labyrinth was not as important as the upcoming ranking competition. As long as their evaluation scores allowed them to firmly enter the top 2000, that would be enough.

Compared to being chased by beasts, he wanted to have a good fight right now to vent the frustration of being relentlessly pursued by the beasts.

What puzzled Quentin most was why the small-scale Beast Tide suddenly appeared during the Dungeon adventure of Rosewood College. Was it done on purpose by the college, or was it just a spontaneous test?

“It’s over, it’s over, I messed up!”

At this moment, the Dragon-Devouring Tree rooted deep in the sixth floor scratched its abundant green leaves with its incredibly tough vines.

Before being cultivated into a Dragon-Devouring Tree by a Trainer, it was a Ten Thousand Beast Tree that devoured countless beasts. Its naturally secreted sap had the ability to attract and lure all kinds of beasts.

Just a short while ago, the Dragon-Devouring Tree was so immersed in watching the delicious food that the vines it had spread near David’s underground area began to secrete some sap.

Although it quickly reabsorbed the sap after realizing what had happened, the sweet scent that had already spread attracted and drove the beasts on the fourth and fifth floors of the Labyrinth into a frenzy, all rushing towards the third floor.

“Should I stop it?”

Looking at the frenzied horde of beasts, the Dragon-Devouring Tree, acting as the Guardian of the candidates, felt torn, as if it had caused trouble.

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room of Rosewood College, Professor Harvey stared at the Beast Tide on the screen and fell into deep thought.

“Professor Harvey, according to the preset plan, isn’t the final Beast Tide supposed to start in the last hour of the exam?” Serena Ancientface asked with some surprise.

She found it odd; could such a powerful Seventh-Order Tyrant make such a simple mistake concerning time?

“Hmm, it must be an accident,” Audrey Harvey said nonchalantly.

“Do we need to suspend the exam?” a staff member asked for guidance.

“No need to stop. It’s in times of crisis that we can see the potential of this new generation of Trainers. Just ensure the safety of the candidates,” Audrey Harvey smiled.

As long as she willed it, this little accident in the exam wouldn’t be considered an accident, but rather an alternative test for the candidates.

“What will you do in the face of the Beast Tide, little junior brother?” Looking at the screen, Audrey Harvey grinned with interest.

Clearly, she didn’t believe David could defeat this small-scale Beast Tide.

It’s worth noting that a Trainer who can use a Class III upper-level pet to defeat a lower-level Class IV beast is considered a complete genius.

If one could leap over an entire grade to defeat an upper-level Class IV creature, they would be considered a demon-level genius, even in Flowery Kingdom.

In summary, just as the ignition of Star Fire was necessary for a Class IV Trainer, beasts must also “ignite” their bloodline fire when advancing to Class IV, refining their internal Magic Core and bloodline in the process.

For this reason, even though they were both Elite creatures, there would still be a significant gap in strength between Class IV and Class III beasts, not to mention the upper Class IV Commander creatures.

In Audrey Harvey’s view, if David could defeat a single upper-level Class IV Commander beast and escape safely when facing the Beast Tide, he would already be considered a Beast Taming Genius beyond the SSS-class.

But if David intended to single-handedly pierce through the Beast Tide like a sharp blade and safely reach the fourth floor, it would be a mad choice leading to death..
