Chapter 1065 – The Legendary Iron-Eating Beast Legion (7)
Flags waved vigorously, horns blared, and the air was thick with a charred scent.
The audience held their breath, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the Gaoyue Tribe’s mighty beast army.
After a while, clouds of dust rose from the distant horizon, and the sounds of galloping and wild beast roars echoed in everyone’s ears.
【Mo Lingyin】: “South China Tiger—Isn’t that a South China Tiger? My eyes aren’t deceiving me, right?”
【Wise as I Am】: “Whoa—are we in an animal livestream now?”
The livestream’s camera faithfully captured everything as countless large beasts made their grand entrance. The audience also spotted several enormous creatures trailing behind—upon closer inspection, they turned out to be elephants with long tusks, carrying people under ornate canopies on their backs.
The Gaoyue Tribe didn’t ride horses; they rode their tamed ferocious beasts, looking quite majestic.
The army of beasts displayed an overwhelming aura, even intimidating Jiang Pengji’s war horse from a distance.
Big White beneath her stirred restlessly, its hooves scratching against the ground until it dug a small pit.
It snorted repeatedly, its sleek black eyes gleaming with battle intent.
Startled, Meng Hunyun and the others quickly pulled on the reins to calm their war horses.
Purebred war horses had tempers, while those of lesser pedigree tended to embarrass their riders.
Faced with the intimidating legion of beasts, many war horses exhibited signs of agitation, weakness, fear, and even incontinence.
Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly, preventing the army formation from descending into chaos.
As the two sides drew closer, the audience could clearly see the Gaoyue Tribe and their army of beasts.
Almost all were large carnivorous creatures, with many species that were long considered extinct!
【Yanran】: “Brothers, we’ve got a cuteness overload ahead—”
【Every Meal Two Bowls】: “Whoa—scared me to death! What is that?!”
【Cat Demon Lord】: “Wodemaa!!!”
As the battlefield became shrouded in dust, the true identities of the beasts were revealed one by one, and the livestream chat exploded with exclamations.
Having grown tired of wolves, tigers, and leopards, the audience’s interest didn’t even spark with a few elephants. But when thousands of “black-and-white warriors” emerged from the back, their adrenaline surged, and their tiny hearts nearly couldn’t handle the excitement—
Pandas!!!!!!
Though adorably clad in simple rattan armor to protect their vital parts, most of their fluffy fur was still exposed. How could the audience not recognize their national treasure? A few pandas even had Gaoyue Tribe members riding them, while others followed their trainers, lining up in formation.
With their black-and-white colors, round faces, large black eye circles, chubby bodies, and signature inward-swinging cat walks—
Such grace and charm, how could it be anyone other than the pandas they yearned for day and night?
The atmosphere on the battlefield froze, while the livestream chat heated up like fire.
【World as Smoke】: “Come pinch me—this can’t be real, right?”
【Bamboo Shadow Pavilion】: “They’re all giant pandas, live ones! I can see thousands of them!”
The black-and-white pandas looked adorably clumsy, immediately bringing to mind images of pandas munching bamboo in chaotic cuteness.
【Bright Moon as a Kite】: “So envious of the streamer, I can’t even afford a ticket to visit a panda zoo.”
As the panda legion appeared, the audience’s enthusiasm ignited instantly, and the livestream atmosphere peaked.
Jiang Pengji frowned as she looked at the black-and-white bears.
“That’s—an Iron-Eating Beast?”
After a moment of discernment, Jiang Pengji whispered.
Those creatures with eyes that seemed to have been beaten looked a bit cutely awkward, but was that really enough to explode the livestream?
Meng Heng remarked, “Exactly. They are ferocious, with strong claws that can gnaw through bones.”
【Poop Shoveling Worker】: “The Gaoyue Tribe is too brutal; how could they send such adorable pandas to battle? What are they even going to use to kill? Deadly cuteness? Don’t they know these national treasures are precious? If one dies in battle, what will the Gaoyue Tribe even offer as compensation?”
The audience erupted in outrage.
Viewers from Hua Country shouted, “Pandas belong to us!” while foreign viewers called out, “Pandas belong to the whole world!”
Jiang Pengji: “…”
What the heck!
Meng Hunyun and others didn’t get how cute the pandas were, their expressions all serious.
The Gaoyue Tribe’s ferocious beasts presented too large of a threat to the war horses; if they charged, the army’s war horses would be rendered useless.
Let alone charging into battle—keeping their formation intact would be a miracle.
“Streamer, I request to deploy archers to confront the enemy.”
Against those wild beasts, bows and arrows would be more effective.
They weren’t made of bronze and iron; if one arrow couldn’t kill, then another could follow.
Just as Jiang Pengji was about to agree, the livestream erupted in chaos.
【Rain Falling on Flower Path】: “Protect the pandas; it’s everyone’s duty!”
【Gray Ah Gray】: “Streamer, please spare the pandas—”
【Tuhui】: “Streamer, how can you bear to be so harsh on such adorable pandas?”
【Panda Support Group】: “Streamer, you must understand that pandas are living fossils that have existed for 8 million years. Killing even one would land you in jail forever! How could you possibly harm such a cute creature? Just look into their soulful eyes—can’t you feel compassion?”
【North Hall Daylily】: “If you hurt a panda, I’ll hang myself with a noodle on your bed!”
The red and blue chat participants often hurled insults at each other, but when it came to protecting the giant pandas, they unified against Jiang Pengji—desperately trying to reason with her.
As all-star animals, it’s easy to imagine just how popular pandas were.
Jiang Pengji remained expressionless, her gaze falling on those black-and-white creatures clad in rattan armor—
So cute?
While the audience saw their charm, Jiang Pengji noticed that most pandas radiated strong aggression and wildness.
She secretly shook her head, unable to comprehend why the world on the livestream would adore such ferocious beasts.
Jiang Pengji drew the jade flute from her waist, causing Wei Ci, who had been watching her closely, to instinctively steer his mount away.
Feng Jin also noticed her movement. “My Lord, what are you doing?”
“The soldiers and their mounts under my command are treasures; it’d be a pity to lose them.” Jiang Pengji held the jade flute to her lips, “The Gaoyue Tribe has raised countless ferocious beasts, and if they charge into my forces, it would surely cause mass casualties. I cannot bear to see such a scene—”
Yesterday, she had single-handedly faced a swarm of snakes!
Today, she was about to challenge the enemy’s entire army—
She was simply incredible!
The Gaoyue Tribe didn’t notice Jiang Pengji’s actions, nor did they care.
Facing off, there was no need for chatter.
Declaring their formation, the Gaoyue Tribe commanded their snake handlers to unleash a snake formation as a front-line disturbance against Jiang Pengji’s main forces.
Once the formation was disrupted, the Gaoyue Tribe could command their beasts to pounce.
Without this step, Jiang Pengji’s archers wouldn’t just remain idle.
Hmph—
Without torches, they would see how the enemy meets their ends!
The swarm of snakes raised by the Gaoyue Tribe was mostly dead by now, and the snakes in action today were their last reserves.
Watching countless poisonous snakes slither toward them, Jiang Pengji unhesitatingly played the jade flute.
The flute emitted piercing, jarring sounds, a magical tone that penetrated the air.
Wei Ci and others found it unpleasant, but the ferocious beasts on the Gaoyue Tribe’s side didn’t feel the same.
In confronting yesterday’s swarm of snakes, Jiang Pengji had used extreme violence to erase their brain domain.
But for today’s beasts, her methods were much gentler.
“What… what’s happening?”
Those once obedient beasts grew restless, jumping around as if they wanted to throw their riders off.
The Gaoyue Tribe members riding the ferocious beasts looked utterly bewildered—
This wasn’t in the script!
