Capítulo 234: Everyone is Here (I)
The world was vast and filled with strange and fantastical things. Human cultivators had a myriad of Daos they could pursue. There were countless types of demons. Beasts came in all shapes and sizes that boggled the mortal mind.
The camouflaging sasquatch was a rare combination of a rare and powerful beast and a rare and powerful ability.
A sasquatch was a type of ape beast innately born with high intelligence. It was large, muscular, covered in dark brown shaggy hair, and stood over two meters tall. Its physical shape roughly resembled a human and this was not by accident.
They were born naturally as wisdom beasts, with the ability to speak and understand language. Just like how divine beasts were born as divine beasts, there were beasts born as wisdom beasts. This gave them an advantage in cultivation and all grew to be incredibly powerful.
They also had a much easier time becoming an origin beast in the immortal realms due to physical similarities. In fact, the rumor was that many immortal sasquatches had infiltrated human society in their human form. Purportedly, they had done this for thousands of years and now held positions of influence and power.
Camouflaging was the special ability of changing color and shape at will. This wasn't a unique ability and many beast species could camouflage. This allowed them to hide from predators in the form of other beasts as well as humans. This made the beasts hard to find and hard capture, leading to them being highly prized.
Materials from camouflaging beasts had many valuable uses. The most notable was transforming a spatial bag into a camouflaging spatial bag which increased its price by four or five-fold. Although, this was only possible with materials from an immortal camouflaging beast…
Chen Wentian stared at the furry looking thing in front of him with wonder, his eyes glittering with intense greed. It really was a camouflaging sasquatch. It was almost an inconceivable combination!
He thought of the nest of void bees he had just captured and how he wanted to find a way to craft spatial bags. By combining that with hair from this immortal sasquatch, he would be able to craft camouflaging spatial bags!
It would be a never-ending river of wealth. It was almost impossible and yet here it was in front of him. This made his decision of assimilating the gorilla soul even more worth it. As long as he played it cool, he was sure he could obtain the beast's stray hairs for a cheap price.
"General Kong, what are you doing here?" The man-like beast spoke.
"General Jiao, King Wu has launched a surprise attack on the humans. We are needed." Chen Wentian replied.
"Mmm. I understand…"
The sasquatch sent out several orders to its underlings before flying back into the air.
"Let's go."
The pair of beasts dashed off towards the north at their fasted speed.

The situation in Beast God City was ever-evolving as the massive war moved into the sixth hour. The sun was getting lower and lower to the west but the killing did not stop. More and more insects made their way through the protective formation and they now attacked the entire city wall on all fronts.
There was not enough to attack every section of the wall with full strength but there was enough to keep the human defenders honest. Each gate and each meter of the wall had to be defended or else a stray insect beast would get through and cause havoc inside the city. This strained the availability of reserves that could come to the assistance of the southeastern front which was still bearing the brunt of the insect horde's attack.
Four gates were now under heavy attack and the original two were now in desperate straits. So many insects had died in front of the walls that there were now two immense ramps all the way to the top made of compacted dead bodies.
This allowed strong and heavy insects with weak climbing ability to come up onto the walls without issue. They formed two footholds on the walls around the ramps which allowed more insects to pour in behind them.
Siege defenses were no longer effective and human defenders had to fight back hand-to-claw. Other insects directly jumped down from the walls after they climbed up and caused chaos in the ranks below. Archer formations were scattered and catapults sabotaged, leading to more flying legions making it over the walls and towards the teleportation array.
The defenses around the city center and the teleportation array still stood despite the increasing attacks. It was now held by effectively eight divisions, four original divisions as well as the four reserve divisions that were supposed to be at the inner gates.
Anyone that could be spared was here fighting against the insects. Thousands died each passing moment only for more to fill in from the reserves. Lives were extinguished as easily as cutting wheat. It was brutal, it was war.
Common soldiers at the Body Refinement Realm were treated as meat shields and distractions for the Mind Focusing Realm disciples to do their jobs. Those at the Mind Focusing Realm were meat shields and distractions for the Spirit Initiate Realm experts to anchor the battle lines. In turn, the experts and elders at the Spirit Initiate Realm were simply meat shields and distractions for the immortals to hold the Grand Beast God Formation.
The battle in the sky was still the most important. If the formation fell, there was nothing the human side could do except accept defeat. For all this time, He Zicheng and Qu Shen dueled Queen Sundew and King Wu with their spiritual energy. For six long hours, the squad of six Spirit Lord held on against King Huo Tu.
It was a bitter, boring struggle. It was one that tested the Spirit Lord's mental fortitude as well as their stamina. They were holding on for reinforcements but when it finally came, it was not ones the human side wanted…
"Mama! Everyone is here!"
"Mama, where are the meat bags??"
"Hahaha, let me at them!"
"Brother, save some for me!!"
Four chattering male mantises arrived in the sky above. The first was Little Gray. The second was a yellow and brown colored mantis that had many spikes sticking out all over its body and limbs. The third was a white, translucent mantis that seemed rather fragile. The final one was a massive brilliant green specimen over ten meters long that had thick limbs seemingly capable of tearing mountains apart.
Their arrival was a tragedy for the human defenders but it wasn't all. A few moments later, more immortal auras arrived from both the north and south.
"My king!"
"My king!"
The toad Huo Ping arrived along with a smaller that was a shocking red color. Chen Wentian's gorilla arrived with General Jiao. The eight beasts gathered together above the city and combined to produce an oppressive aura.
They were here and it was over for the humans. They were a force enough to completely roll over several provinces.
