However, Zhou Huai, who directly detonated Gandalf's Avatar, had no idea what happened on the airship later.

After confirming that Gandalf's resurrection countdown had already begun,

his mind completely shifted to the upcoming Donghai City beast tide.

He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zhentian, who was standing not far away with a complex expression.

"Uncle Ye, there is something I would like to ask you for help with."

Ye Zhentian had witnessed the determination of all members of the Evernight Guild from beginning to end.

He heard Zhou Huai's speech and felt that tragic heroic spirit of advancing even if facing tens of millions of foes.

At this moment, he felt a deep sense of respect toward Zhou Huai, this young man he had once looked down upon.

Other people did not know how terrifying the upcoming beast tide was.

They perhaps only held a head full of hot blood, belonging to the fearless ignorance of those who do not know.

But Zhou Huai and his Evernight Guild were different.

Ye Zhentian could tell that they were very clear about what they were about to face.

That was a Hell-like desperate situation sufficient to wipe the entire city off the map.

Yet they still chose to stay.

This courage to intentionally head toward the tiger mountain knowing full well there are tigers there was even more admirable.

Ye Zhentian put away the shock in his heart and solemnly nodded.

"Zhou Huai, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"As long as my Ye family can help, we will definitely spare no effort!"

A trace of a smile appeared on Zhou Huai's face.

"An order is more than I dare accept."

"I just want to ask you to use the Ye family's influence to organize the ordinary residents in the city to evacuate through this teleportation array."

He paused and continued speaking.

"In case Donghai City truly cannot be defended, I still hope there can be more survivors."

"You do not need to worry about the problem of energy; I have plenty of magic crystals here."

After listening, Ye Zhentian's expression became exceptionally serious.

He looked at Zhou Huai, and on that dignified face, sincere respect appeared for the first time.

"Rest assured, leave this matter to me!"

"I will go organize manpower right now and arrange for the residents of Donghai City to enter the teleportation array!"

Zhou Huai nodded and said softly: "Thank you, Uncle Ye."

Ye Zhentian, however, heroically waved his hand, a hint of a complex smile appearing on his face.

"There is no need to be so formal. Compared to you all, what I have done is not worth mentioning."

He sighed and remarked with emotion,

"That girl Xier truly did not misjudge you."

Ye Zhentian seemed to recall something, and his gaze became somewhat distant.

"Back when she learned the news that you 'died', she locked herself in her room and didn't eat or drink for several days straight."

"When she came out of the room, I felt... her whole person had changed."

"This time, you must live well. If Xier knows you are still alive, she will definitely be very happy."

Zhou Huai's heart seemed to be gently touched by something.

He nodded heavily.

"I will."

Afterwards, he said no more and instructed Uncle Fu to push him back to the guild base.

The moment he got into the car, Zhou Huai closed his eyes.

His consciousness instantly transferred onto Moria.

Within the courtyard, Moria's figure quietly emerged. With a leap, he landed steadily upon the broad back of Demon Dragon Xiao Hei.

"Let's go, to the East City Wall."

Roar——!

Xiao Hei let out a low dragon roar, its twin wings violently flapping. Its massive body soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of black lightning as it rapidly flew toward the direction of the East Gate of Donghai City.

Although Donghai City had four city walls,

the southern side bordered the sea, and the probability of exotic beasts launching a large-scale attack from this side was not high.

Although the northwestern sides would also encounter the beast tide, the pressure would often be much smaller than the eastern side.

As for the eastern side, backed by continuous mountain ranges and vast wilderness, that was precisely the location of that ruin Secret Realm.

Here would be the main direction of the beast tide's attack.

In every past beast tide, the first and most fierce offensive had always started from the East Gate.

If they could not endure the first wave, the entire Donghai City would be razed to the ground by the beast tide with unstoppable force.

To resist this wave of offensive, Zhou Huai had already prepared to spare no effort in utilizing all his trump cards.

Very quickly, Xiao Hei had already flown above the East City Gate.

Zhou Huai looked down.

Upon those majestic city walls stretching for thousands of meters and standing a hundred meters tall, they were already densely packed with figures.

Countless Classer held weapons, their expressions solemn and standing at strict attention.

In their eyes, there was tension and fear, but even more so, a resolute determination to guard their homeland.

When Xiao Hei's massive figure appeared on the horizon, everyone on the city wall subconsciously raised their heads.

They saw that ferocious Dragon hovering high in the air, and none of them failed to feel shocked in their hearts.

"It's a Dragon! To think it's a black dragon!"

"Could our Donghai City actually still have a second Dragon Rider?"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and everyone's gazes simultaneously cast toward the center of the city wall, at a handsome young man riding on the back of a Silver Dragon.

It was precisely Li Qiu of the Heaven's Decree Guild.

They originally thought he was the only Dragon Rider in Donghai City.

Unexpectedly, another one appeared today.

However, when they looked closely, they discovered something was amiss.

"Wait, look at that black dragon's aura... It seems even more terrifying than Guild Leader Li Qiu's Silver Dragon!"

"That's right! Although in terms of size, that black dragon is a circle smaller than the Silver Dragon, the coercion emanating from its body is simply suffocating!"

Of this point, Li Qiu felt it most profoundly.

The very instant that black dragon appeared,

the Silver Dragon beneath him began to emit uneasy, low roars, its massive body trembling uncontrollably.

That was a fear and submission originating from the depths of its bloodline toward a higher-ranking existence!

Li Qiu's expression became somewhat ugly.

He tried to appease his companion, but it was completely futile.

Until the black dragon in the air seemed somewhat impatient, letting out a high-pitched and resonant Dragon roar!

Roar——!!!

Within that Dragon roar, it contained unquestionable supreme majesty!

The Silver Dragon beneath Li Qiu could no longer withstand this terrifying dragon might. With a mournful cry, it actually flapped its wings and rapidly dropped down from the city wall.

It landed heavily on the ground, its huge head lowering deeply, assuming a posture of submission.

No matter how Li Qiu on its back called out or urged it, it remained completely indifferent, only lying on the ground shivering.

"This..."

Everyone on the city wall saw this scene and all gasped a breath of cold air.

Li Qiu's expression turned even more livid.

He abruptly raised his head, his gaze staring fixedly at that silver-haired figure in the air.

In his eyes, there was first astonishment, followed by full wariness and shock.

Li Qiu recognized the other party.

This person was the mysterious individual who forcibly abducted Luo Ming that night and led him and Yasuo into a duel!

Later, according to Guild Leader Sun Tian's conjecture,

this mysterious person was also a member of the Evernight Guild.

"Evernight Guild..."

Li Qiu looked at the figure in the sky, silently clenching his fists.

Then he limply released them.

Losing to Yasuo last time, he was not very convinced.

He had always been thinking of finding an opportunity to win back his face.

As a result, this idea could now completely go down the drain.

Not only did the other party's Evernight Guild also have a Dragon,

but it was even more terrifying than his own. In a single exchange, the Silver Dragon he had carefully cultivated surrendered.

There was no finding back any face after that.

Just as everyone was shocked by the terrifying aura displayed by the black dragon,

among the crowd, a knowledgeable veteran Professional seemed to have discovered something incredible, suddenly widening his eyes.

He reached out a trembling hand, pointing at Xiao Hei in the sky, and let out a terrified, hair-raising scream.

"That... That black dragon... It's... It's a Hell-level BOSS!!!"

"What?!"

"A Hell-level BOSS?!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire city wall instantly exploded in an uproar!

"Are you kidding me! A Hell-level BOSS? How is this possible?!"

To think someone could control a Hell-level BOSS as a mount? This guy... Just who on earth is this guy?!

"Too outrageous! This completely exceeds the scope of my cognition!"

For a time, the discussions on the city wall rose and fell one after another. Everyone looked up at that figure in the sky with a gaze as if looking at a monster.

This was the first time Demon Dragon Xiao Hei made a public appearance in front of so many people.

The effect was outstanding.

Right at this moment,

a portion of the Evernight Guild members who had just rushed over from the Ye family to the East City Gate heard the surrounding exclamations and discussions, and their faces revealed expressions of incomparable pride.

A young member puffed out his chest and shouted in a tone that was close to showing off,

"That's right! That is a Hell-level BOSS!"

"And the one who controls it is none other than our Evernight Guild's Master!"
