Chapter 542: The Twelve Zodiac Signs?
Although the problem of beast tides exists all over the world, the one in the Han Dynasty is the most special.
Because the beast tide of the Han Dynasty was a purposeful, organized and unified action.
If there had been no clouds, the people in Luoyang would have really thought that there was some mastermind behind the scenes.
“Found it!”
When Zhao Yun set out with the Jingling Guards and the Yulin Army, the beast tide had already begun to approach the suburbs of Luoyang, so Zhao Yun found the main force of the beast tide with almost no effort.
There were about twenty boundary-breaking beasts, but the twelve in the center stood out from the rest.
"The Twelve Zodiac Signs?" After Zhao Yun saw clearly the race of the main force of the beast tide, he frowned involuntarily.
There is no other reason, it is because the twelve beast kings in the center actually fit the races of the twelve zodiac signs.
Especially the dragon, Zhao Yun was sure that this was not some trick, but the other party might really be a dragon.
It looks like it evolved from a snake. It looks majestic at first glance, but it follows the snake king closely.
"Something seems to be wrong." Nanhua also frowned.
The beast tide seemed to be even more outrageous than they had imagined, even things like the twelve zodiac signs were created.
"What's wrong with that? They're just twelve world-breaking beasts. Maybe they're an organization formed from legends heard from humans somewhere." Zuo Ci said indifferently.
He had seen many world-breaking beasts, but they were just races that happened to fit the twelve zodiac signs.
"But, it does seem a little different?" Zuo Ci originally looked indifferent, but as he got closer, his expression became serious.
As an expert in identifying wild animals, he has been killed dozens of times for this purpose, so he can be said to be extremely experienced.
He didn't care at first, but after getting closer, he immediately noticed something unusual about these beasts.
"Merit? That's impossible!" Zuo Ci was stunned. The twelve wild beasts actually carried merit.
"What's impossible? The Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Cauldrons have already come into the world, so it's not unacceptable for the Twelve Zodiac Signs to appear now." Nanhua said with half-closed eyes.
He has a strong ability to accept things. Compared with the Xuanyuan Sword and Emperor Zhuanxu, the birth of the twelve zodiac animals is not something that he cannot understand.
"Here it comes!" Zhao Yun shouted in a low voice.
He didn't really care about the twelve boundary-breaking beasts, as he was more than capable of defeating them alone, but the metaphysical factor of the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" restricted him.
Before being attacked, he really didn't want to take the first step.
"Human! Why are you stopping us?!"
Zhao Yun was shocked that the smallest rat actually started talking, and he was speaking the official language of the Han Dynasty.
It is not uncommon for a boundary-breaking beast to be able to communicate with humans, but that is through telepathy. It is the first time that Zhao Yun has seen one speak directly like the rat.
Even Lu Bu's Red Hare has not been able to speak yet, but the mouse in front of him can actually do that.
"The front is Luoyang! What on earth do you want to do?"
The knowledgeable Zuo Ci argued that it was just an animal that could talk. He had seen parrots when he traveled before, so talking animals were not very strange to him.
"We are called here! As for why, we don't know!"
The rat was silent for a moment. It didn't expect that their destination would be the human capital. No wonder it sensed the threat of death and was forced to gather such a large group of wild beasts to accompany them.
The Rat, who has a certain understanding of humans, already knows how difficult this journey will be.
It is precisely because of understanding that there is fear. Rat clearly understands the gap between this army of wild beasts and humans.
Especially the humans who were speaking in front, the general in silver armor and white robe in the front posed a heavy threat of death to him.
"What's the point of talking? Just rush over. We've already come to this place, why should we stop?"
The horse of noon, which belongs to the fire element, is very restless. Its destiny is right in front of it, so how can it stop?
"Wait!" Rat wanted to stop him, but Horse couldn't wait any longer.
Just as Rat was trying to stop it, the sky was suddenly covered with thick clouds.
“There really is cloud energy!” Zuo Ci widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.
He was usually calm, but at this moment he lost his composure.
"Now is not the time to be surprised!" Nanhua twitched the corner of his mouth. There really was cloud. These beasts opposite might really have come into being due to the circumstances.
The twelve beast kings on the opposite side actually correspond to the five elements of the Earthly Branches.
Rat is Yang Water, Pig is Yin Water, Tiger is Yang Wood, Rabbit is Yin Wood...
The attributes and race of each beast king correspond exactly to the earthly branches.
What's more, with the appearance of the cloud, the danger level of the beast tide increased exponentially. If a fight really broke out, he would definitely not be able to escape.
"It's okay, the Yulin Army is here!" Zhao Yun was indifferent and didn't care about Nanhua's worries at all.
With the Yulin Army around, even if they were surrounded, they would just have to choose a direction to fight their way out. The presence of the clouds would only increase the difficulty a bit, and everything was still under control.
The Yulin Army and Jingling Guards also formed their battle formations. Although they were also surprised by the dragon on the opposite side, they did not forget their duties.
What's more, the Jingling Guards are the guard team that protects the Nine Cauldrons. They are just divine beasts, and it is not enough to make them lose their minds. They are very clear about the responsibilities they carry.
The impulsive Wu Ma went straight to Zhao Yun. After all, Zhao Yun had the Night-Shining Jade Lion under his crotch, so of course he disliked Zhao Yun.
But after a brief fight, Wu Ma retreated back to the main force in embarrassment.
He was no match for Zhao Yun at all, and every move Zhao Yun made left a wound on him.
"It seems that you are no more than that!"
Zhao Yun glanced at the Night-Shining Jade Lion with a complicated expression. It was outrageous that these days, even a BMW with the power of internal energy leaving the body was not considered top-notch.
"Wuma, stop it!"
The Dragon stopped the impulsive Horse. Although had many clever ideas, it was still the one who made the final decision among the twelve zodiac signs.
Wu Ma looked at Zhao Yun hatefully, then retreated.
"Humans, we have no intention of conflicting with you. We are called by destiny, so please don't stop us!"
Chen Long came to Zhao Yun alone. Although his aura was hidden, Zhao Yun still felt Chen Long's strong strength.
“You are called by destiny, but what about them?” Zuo Ci asked, pointing at the beasts that broke through the boundaries around the twelve Earthly Branches.
"We called them here to deal with unknown dangers!" Chen Long said frankly.
"Disband them, we can take charge and take you into Luoyang!" Zuo Ci acted decisively and immediately gave Chen Long a bottom line.
"Master, why do you say that?" Zhao Yun quickly sent a message to Zuo Ci.
"Something must have happened here that we don't know about. If we act rashly, something might go wrong!" Zuo Ci responded.
"It's possible that this is the auspicious sign in the legend. You've also seen the Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Cauldrons. Who knows, it could be another adventure of the general!"
