The commotion from Nirvana naturally caught everyone's attention.

When they saw Nirvana kill the Human-faced Poison Spider, they all showed looks of shock.

In their view, Lei Yao's strength was much stronger than Nirvana's, yet unexpectedly, Nirvana was the first to slay the Human-faced Poison Spider.

At this moment, the Human-faced Poison Spider fighting against Lei Yao also noticed the situation on this side.

Looking at its fallen lover, the Human-faced Poison Spider let out a shrill howl.

From its howl, everyone could clearly sense a deep sadness.

This Human-faced Poison Spider decisively abandoned Lei Yao and turned to charge towards Nirvana.

Lei Yao was immediately furious at this sight, as Nirvana's performance had already triggered its competitive spirit, and now the opponent dared to ignore it, filling Lei Yao's anger value instantly.

Its eyes turned crimson in an instant, and it was about to enter a frenzy state in the next moment.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stopped it, saying, "Lei Yao, stay calm; no one can say for sure what we'll face next, so try to conserve your strength."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao let out an annoyed growl, but it still managed to temporarily suppress its anger.

Facing the charging Human-faced Poison Spider, Nirvana confronted it once again.

The attack from that previous Human-faced Poison Spider was insufficient to stack its talent of getting stronger the more it fights.

Now, this Human-faced Poison Spider came at just the right time.

With the cooperation of Nirvana and Lei Yao, the Human-faced Poison Spider held out for only a few minutes before it died completely.

Of course, this was under Chu Chen's deliberate control; otherwise, the Human-faced Poison Spider would have died much faster.

With the help of the Human-faced Poison Spider, Nirvana's aura successfully broke through to Commander Level.

However, due to the effect of the disguise talent, Wang Lu and others did not notice any anomaly, but Chu Chen could easily perceive the change in Nirvana's strength.

The body of the Human-faced Poison Spider had many good items; two Human-faced Poison Spiders provided everyone with a Commander Level Star Core, two Poison Sacs, and two bundles of Spider Silk.

This Spider Silk is an excellent item with unexpected effects at crucial moments.

In terms of recovery value, it is not at all inferior to a Commander Level Star Core.

As for the Poison Sac, it is even more precious than the Spider Silk and the Star Core.

In special environments, this Poison Sac is an invaluable lethal weapon.

After tossing the Star Core to the four people, Chu Chen collected the Spider Silk and Poison Sac.

The four people all refused, after all, they did not participate in the recent battle, and through the recent fight, they realized the gap between them and Chu Chen.

In the upcoming battles, it would be challenging for them to play a role since the Star Beasts to come could all be Commander Level.

This left a sense of frustration in their hearts.

After a brief rest, the five of them continued to explore forward.

During their journey, the Beast Tide made another move.

"Roar"

With the roar of the Beast King echoing, a large shadow flew out from the forest, and these shadows were flying Star Beasts appearing for the first time.

And that was just the beginning. A thunderous sound of countless hoofs erupted, and a group of Star Beasts surged out from the forest, these Star Beasts being Servant Level late stage and War General Level, all in their prime.

Upon seeing this, Wang Haichuan's expression grew heavy; evidently, the Beast King also held trump cards, and this time the opponent also brought out their entire store of resources.

He roughly estimated over fifty thousand flying Star Beasts, most of them at War General Level, with only about thirty percent at Servant Level.

The number of land Star Beasts exceeded twenty thousand, with around sixty percent being War General Level Star Beasts.

Everyone's expressions became grave upon seeing this.

The City Lord had used up nearly all his trump cards, and now it was up to them to defend the city.

"Roar"

The Beast King roared again, and seventy thousand Star Beasts launched an attack on the city together.

Ye Feiyang's face turned slightly pale at this sight, but he quickly suppressed his inner uneasiness and commanded urgently, "City Defense Crossbows, attack those flying Star Beasts; the rest, prepare for battle."

As his words fell, a series of "whoosh" sounds rang out, and a rain of arrows shot straight at the Star Beasts in the sky.

The flying Star Beasts were fast and agile, making it hard for the crossbow arrows to effectively harm them.

However, the sheer number of flying Star Beasts meant some were inevitably slower to react.

One round of arrow rain brought down a few hundred.

How to put it? Let's say something is better than nothing.

Seeing this, Ye Feiyang immediately halted the City Defense Crossbow attack.

The distance was too great now; it was quite easy for those flying Star Beasts to dodge, and the crossbow arrows were limited, so they had to maximize their benefit.

The flying Star Beast horde's speed was swift, reaching a distance of fifty zhang from the city walls in just a few breaths.

At this distance, only Monarch Level Star Beasts, City Defense Crossbows, and Star Core Cannons could pose some threat to the beast horde.

However, Wang Haichuan had long prepared a plan for this situation.

At his sign, Ye Feiyang issued another command.

"Activate the Defense Array; all flying Guardian Beasts, move out, do not allow the beast horde to set foot in the city."

With Ye Feiyang's words, the inner side of the city wall suddenly emitted a brilliant white glow, and a transparent shield enveloped the entire Celestial Star City.

Only then did everyone notice that numerous mysterious runes had appeared on the inner side of the city wall at some point, and these runes were embedded with many Star Cores.

Unlike everyone else's shock, at this moment, Wang Haichuan's heart was bleeding, his cheeks full of distress.

This huge Defense Array was purchased from the Alliance after the last brief siege, but most people had forgotten about it due to the passage of time, and it had never been used since the purchase.

It wasn't that Wang Haichuan didn't want to use it, but he didn't dare, because this Defense Array was like a Gold-devouring Beast.

Activating the array required the consumption of a large number of Star Cores as starting energy, which roughly translated to over ten million Alliance Coins, and sustaining the array required constant consumption of Star Cores, about ten thousand Alliance Coins' worth per minute.

When the Defense Shield was under attack, the Star Core consumption increased, which was also why Wang Haichuan hesitated to activate the array.

There weren't many flying Guardian Beasts on this side of Celestial Star City, totaling around four thousand, less than a tenth of the beast horde.

There were three reasons for this situation: first was the population; the number of people in Celestial Star City was much less than the Star Beasts, and their reproduction speed was far inferior.

Secondly, responsibilities differed; many Beast Masters in Celestial Star City had functional Guardian Beasts that were not adept at combat, and even if they participated, they couldn't contribute much and might even hinder others.

The third reason was cost; when choosing Guardian Beasts, Beast Masters would opt for higher quality beasts, and the price of flying Guardian Beasts of the same quality was fifty percent to twice as high as land types.

This resulted in a significantly lower number of flying Guardian Beasts than land Star Beasts.

However, the combat power of these flying Guardian Beasts was generally higher than that of the flying beast horde.

While they couldn't take on ten opponents at once, they could still manage to intertwine with the beast horde, and in the short term, a breakdown was unlikely to occur.
