Chapter 158: Tense Situation
The other supernatural experts nodded.
In the past, in the beast wave attack, there were usually at most one or two high-level demon overlords and only more than ten demon overlords in total.
Although the number of overlord-level demon beasts had gradually increased recently, It wasn’t as dramatic. This time, there were only 70 overlord-level demon beasts because they were driven by the Thunderstorm Giant Bear King.
Originally, they were all prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. However, they did not expect Zhou Hao’s eruption to let them easily resolve this beast wave attack and save their lives.
Zhou Hao waved his hand. “Senior Lei, you’re too polite. After all, we’re all on the same side. As the saying goes, the stronger you are, the greater the responsibility. In the face of the beast wave attack, I naturally have to contribute. I’m just doing my job.”
At this point, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Lei…”
Lei Hu interrupted him directly. “Senior Zhou, be it the foreign races or the Earth during the Cataclysm Era, strength is everything. You are a peak-level ninth-grade supernatural grandmaster, so you can just call me Lei Hu in the future. Of course, you can also call me Lei Zi.”
“This… Alright, Lei Hu, how many times has the fortress faced a situation like today?” Zhou Hao asked after casually referring to the other party as Lei Hu.
Before Lei Hu could speak, the female supernatural expert, Xia Wan, shook her head. “This rarely happens. Usually, even peak overlord-level demon beasts appear occasionally in a year. They weren’t supposed to appear until the end of this year, which was why we were shocked when it appeared more than three months in advance.”
“That’s right.”
Lei Hu nodded and said with a solemn expression, “Actually, judging from the beast wave attack situation in the past month, there should have been changes in the spatial rift. The number of overlord-level demon beasts that appear every day from the beast wave attack is increasing. There are even more than 70 demon beasts today. I’m afraid the problem is somewhat serious.”
When Zhou Hao heard this, he hurriedly said, “Lei Hu, does that mean that the change in the number of overlord-level demon beasts is related to the spatial rift?”
Hearing this, Lei Hu, Xia Wan, Ze An, and the other supernatural experts above the sixth-grade had surprised and puzzled expressions.
Shi Zhi explained, “Senior Lei, Senior Zhou has only recently advanced to a ninth-grade supernatural grandmaster. Moreover, his strength increased suddenly, so he doesn’t know much about the other peak-level supernatural grandmasters.”
Lei Hu and the others finally understood.
“Senior Zhou, it’s like this. The peak supernatural experts of the humans on Earth have all entered the spatial rift more than ten years ago. Be it our China or the western countries, all supernatural experts above the eighth-grade have to enter the spatial rift.”
As Lei Hu spoke, he sighed repeatedly. “It is precisely because a large number of supernatural experts have entered the spatial rift that the pressure on the cities behind us and the frontline fortresses has been greatly reduced.”
“Moreover, it was also the hard work of these senior experts that prevented the foreign race experts above the peak overlord level from coming out of the spatial rift. It was thanks to them that the various cities could flourish over the past ten years.”
When Zhou Hao heard this, he understood. So even true super experts had entered the spatial rift. No wonder there were so few supernatural experts in the fortress base after the Cataclysm happened a hundred years ago. Moreover, only the four of them had surpassed the sixth-grade.
Of course, there were also supernatural experts in the other fortresses. However, their numbers were probably similar to the ones here.
Xia Wan looked at Zhou Hao and said, “Senior Zhou, actually, we have been developing for the past ten years, especially us supernatural experts above the sixth-grade. We all want to break through to the ninth-grade, but unfortunately, it is too difficult.”
“Fortunately, you appeared. Otherwise, our Supernatural Council really wouldn’t know how to resolve the following problems.”
Shi Zhi nodded. “That’s right. In the past month, not only have there been changes in our spatial rift, but the number of overlord-level demon beasts in the other spatial rifts around the world has also increased rapidly, especially when it comes to peak overlord-level demon beasts.”
Zhou Hao frowned. He did not expect the situation on Earth to be so tense. It seemed that Han Pu had only said what he said previously to comfort students like him and Xu Ling.
It was also thanks to his identity as Senior Zhou that he was able to understand the true situation of the humans on Earth.
“Lei Hu, Xia Wan… Could it be that the Supernatural Council has never sent anyone into the spatial rift to understand the situation of the seniors?” he asked.
