C8 Beast Outbreak

In a vast plains that stretches up to thousands of kilometers, there exists a small village situated at the corner of the plains, bordering the luscious and mystical forest. This village wasn't so grandeur, in fact even some rundown small villages on earth looks more majestic then this village. But the humans in this place lived their life happily. Their smiles couldn't be hidden, forgetting about the worries outside the world.

This place is called the Village of Tang... where the Tang Family governs. Today was a busy day in the Tang village, because the Tang Family is having a big celebration. The villagers were excited for the upcoming party.

"Did you know?, the genius of the Tang's successfully broke-through and became an 8th stage cultivator" a middle aged man spoke.

"Are you sure?!, isn't he still a 15 year old brat" one of the people asked surprised.

"You're damn right I'm sure, the reason they're having a party is because of him" the middle aged man replied.

"What a genius!, from what I remembered the village is also an 8th stage practitioner right? " some random people said.

The villagers keep on gossiping on each other, and spreading the rumors to everyone... hence the happy occasion and the smiles in their faces. The life on the beast plains was hard... humans keep on dying daily due to the lack of resources and the roaming beasts. So having more strong cultivators in their village made them feel secure and happy.

At the center area, where the Tang Family lived, sounds of laughter could be heard. The family were hosting a party for Tang Chi who just broke through. The village head was also here talking to youth who looked like 18 years old, 6ft tall with a muscular body, but with a handsome and honest looking face. The people gathered around them and also praised Chi.

"Chi er , congratulations on breaking through, you really are the hope of our family and village" the old man praised his grandson.

"Thanks grandpa Kun, I just got lucky, hehe" the youth said.

"Hahah that's my son... see that old man! I got a better son than you" a robust man boasted with a cocky voice, forgetting that he was the son of the old man.

Hearing this, the people that gathered around them also laughed. So the joyous occasion continued until suddenly they heard loud stomps. "..Duuug duuug duuug!!!"

The noise of the stomps are so loud that it reached to them even far away.

A loud ringing of a bell then can be heard. "...diiiiing!!! ...diiing!!"

hearing this made the people in the party panic and felt discomfort. The ringing of the bell only means one thing, Beast Outbreak.

Grandpa Kun and the Robust man then rushed to the walls where the bell is situated, following them are Chi and his peers. Standing atop the walls, they could see numerous of beasts in a faraway distance, stampeding through the trees rushing towards them. Speckles of dust flew to the air due to the stampede. They could feel the earth trembling due to the heavy stomps caused by the beasts.

They could see four gigantic beasts faraway towering over 10 meters, the two looked like a huge gorilla, the other looked like a large wolf and a large rhino with nasty looking horn, surrounding them were numerous beasts that are also 3-7 meters big.

Seeing the beasts made Grandpa Kun's face twitch. 10m beasts are equivalent to an 8th stage Houtian, so when he saw 4 of them, he dreaded. Usually when a beast outbreak occurs, only one 10m beast appears with their group, but now it looks like there are four groups attacking their village. This has never happened since the long time he has been living in this village.

But as a head of a village he didn't lose hope, and started ordering the guards to take position

" Shu, Fu, Ling, and Ting heed my call" shouted granpa Kun .

Four experts then came in front of him and kneeled. Their village was build in a circular way, so they needed to protect four sides . The people Kun called are their four head guards. The head guards are all in the 7th stage, and they all came from to the Tang Family. They only had at most a hundred guards, ranging from 4th to 6th stages.

"Our walls cant hold beasts this plenty, so we will face them outside the walls. Shu I want you to take 10 guards and lead the woman and children to safety. once our walls gets destroyed, I want you to take them to the other villages and find shelter. " commanded Kun to Shu.

"Fu, Ling and Ting you three command the guards to face the small beasts and distract them , while we will kill those 8th stage beasts" commanded Kun to the 3 head guards.

The head guards then left to organize and prepare their troops. Kun looked to the remaining people beside him atop the walls, his son Jun, his grandson Chi, and 10 elders of the Tang Family. Kun looked to Chi sincerely, and wanted to tell him to retreat, but before he could utter a word Chi said

"I want to stay grandpa, I want to fight those beasts!" Chi said fiercely

Hearing his grandson's plea, he wanted to retort, because he knew how dangerous the situation they were in now. 8th stage beasts are a lot stronger compared to a normal 8th stage cultivator, so facing four 8th stage beasts with one 8th stage and eleven 7th stage cultivators made their chances to survive low. His grandson is a natural genius so he wants him to survive this ordeal, and embark his own adventure for his future.

But seeing Chi's fierce looking face, who usually has a calm and honest face, his guts are telling him to trust the kid and fight it out. This made him to doubt his former decision to let Chi retreat. Time was running and the beasts are getting nearer, so he made a bold decision and trusted his guts.

"Ok ill trust you, but don't throw your life away, the moment you feel the thinks are getting out of hand, I want you to retreat and follow Shu and the others."

Chi just nodded and listened to his grandfather.

Old man Tang (mc's sensei) stepped forward and made a plan for their attack. The other elders and Kun just listened and directed the guards to follow old man Tang.

The noises of stomping are getting louder and louder, the small hungry beasts started to rushed to the walls. Fortunately the plan was finished, so after listening to the plan the guards opened the gate, and rushed out to form their positions.

"Ready your weapons, lets kill these fowl beasts and feast from it! Waaaaah!" Ling the head guard shouted to boost their morale.

Hearing this, the guards morale are boosted and adrenaline pumped in, they became like hungry beasts, and rushed to the beasts in a coordinated manner. Their plan was to face the small beasts who were rushing to them head on, and try to slowly open a path for the head and the elders, so they could kill those gigantic beasts.

The plan was not to give their lives up just to kill the beasts, what they planned to do was just to kill those 8th stages beasts, because if the leaders die the remaining beasts will just scatter and retreat.

They cant fight the beasts head on, due to the beasts numerical advantage, luckily the guards cultivation are high enough just to delay the beasts for a bit of time.

The beasts and humans collided, the guards fought the beasts and gave their all, while slowly pushing them sideways, seeing this, Kun and the others jumped from the walls and rushed to the 4 gigantic leaders.

"Elders, your target is that wolf beast, killing it would be hard so just delay it and separate it from the others"

"Chi, you're an 8th stage practitioner so you handle that rhino beast, just delay it until I finish these monkey beasts... you just broke through so becareful."

"Jun , follow me we will take care of those 2 monkey beasts," Kun commanded them.

Jun was only a 7th stage cultivator, but Kun was confident on killing those 2 monkeys.

He was only an 8th stage cultivator, but he is already at the peak of 8th stage, he was almost close to breaking through, so he was confident to kill the beasts, but it would take time.

Hearing the command of the head, they went to their tasks and face their targets.

........

In a faraway distance, a youth with azure hair flowing through the air could be seen rushing while jumping through trees. He had a worried look on his face.

This youth is Kyle, when he noticed the outbreak, the beasts were already too near the village, so he rushed to went back home. 3 years in the village made him close them, and he started treating them as family. He was a loner in his past life, so having someone to be treated like a family in his life was really rare.

He doesn't want the village to get destroyed, when he had the strength to save them. So he rushed to the village while thinking

'Fck, fck, fck, I was so careless, I should've been more alert. Damn this!'

He could only grit his teeth while hoping they could hold the beasts for a bit.
