Chapter 113
“A few types of desolate beasts biting this barrel-toothed wild boar to death?
Xiao Chen, are you joking with us? ”
Xu Da stared with widened eyes as he observed the mangled barrel-toothed wild boar. Following that, he cast his gaze at Xiao Chen, who had a look of suspicion, and asked in a strange tone.
Xiao Chen did not give him a nonchalant glance, nor did he bother with Xu Da. Instead, he took a few quick steps and ran to the back of the thicket. Liu and Ruyue looked each other in the eye as they followed with heavy expressions. They felt that the situation had become a little strange. This was because according to Xiao Chen’s character, he would not crack such a senseless joke.
The four of them ran to the back of the thicket and saw Xiao Chen squatting on the ground, as though he was observing something?
They were immediately puzzled as they ran forward to take a look. Instantly, their expressions changed. This was because the ground was covered in the green blood of desolate beasts. It was as if a desolate beast battle had just happened.
Zhu Geming raised his eyes and looked in a direction. Suddenly, he noticed a huge figure lying under a tree. He was alarmed and when he focused, he realized that it was a dead third-grade desolate beast, Iron-armored Rhinoceros. He could not help but exclaim, “Look, there’s a desolate beast corpse over there. It looks like an Iron-armored Rhinoceros!”
“There’s also a desolate beast corpse over there!
Aiyah, it’s still moving. It’s not completely dead! “Just as Zhu Geming’s voice faded, Zhao Yuhan also exclaimed.
“Shua!”
Xiao Chen, who was squatting, suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the still trembling dire beast. When he got closer, he discovered that it was a third-class Green-eyed Jackal. This Green-eyed Jackal was about the size of a calf, and it was lying on its side on the ground. There were two huge bloody holes in its abdomen, and viscous green beast blood was still slowly flowing out.
“Ao woo!”
The green-eyed jackal sensed that someone was approaching and suddenly opened its eyes. It let out a ferocious roar and used the last of its strength to stand up. However, as it had lost too much blood, its life was nearing its end. It eventually failed. However, while lying on the ground, it still stared fiercely at the human in front of it with its green eyes. It bared its teeth at Xiao Chen and roared at him. Its aura was extremely ferocious, as though it was not afraid of Xiao Chen.
“Hmm?
Why is its aura so tyrannical? “The doubt in Xiao Chen’s eyes deepened.
Logically speaking, desolate beasts might be ferocious, but towards the end of their lives, their temperaments would become more gentle. However, the green-eyed jackal that was about to die was the exact opposite. It clearly did not have a shred of strength left, but its aura was still so tyrannical. This made the situation a little odd.
Liu Ruyue walked over to the motionless Xiao Chen and glanced at the green-eyed jackal on the ground. She then turned to look at Xiao Chen and asked softly, “What’s wrong?
Xiao Chen, is there something wrong? ”
“Yes, there are some strange places, huh?”
Xiao Chen nodded and said faintly. Suddenly, his expression turned serious and he lay down on the ground with one ear pressed tightly against the ground, as if he was listening attentively.
After a while, he suddenly jumped up and shouted anxiously, “Xuda!
Zhuge Ming!
Immediately cover the direction that Liu Ruyue and Zhao Yuhan came from. I will do my best to protect your safety! ”
“Xiao Chen, what happened?
With you here, what do we have to be afraid of?
Could it be that a strong enemy is attacking? “Xuda had just run over and heard Xiao Chen’s strange request. He immediately asked in confusion.
Xiao Chen saw the confusion on Xuda and the other three’s faces. He knew that if he didn’t explain clearly, they wouldn’t care. So he coldly shouted, “We are surrounded by countless desolate beasts. There are at least hundreds of strong desolate beasts running towards us. If you don’t want to die, don’t ask so much!
Immediately follow me and break out!
Quickly! ”
“Xiu!”
After Xiao Chen said the last word, he didn’t care if the four of them left or not. His figure burst forth and quickly rushed in the direction that they came from. In the blink of an eye, he had already moved several feet.
“Ah?
Wait for us! ”
Xuda and the other three saw Xiao Chen leave as he said. They were slightly stunned. Recalling the terrifying information Xiao Chen had given them, their expressions changed drastically. With a shout, they chased after Xiao Chen. If what Xiao Chen said was true, then staying behind was equivalent to waiting for death.
“Rumble!”
In the quiet depths of the Black Forest, the sound of galloping horses suddenly sounded. Furthermore, the sound was getting closer. Liu Ruyue and the other three’s faces turned pale. At this moment, they finally believed Xiao Chen’s words. Their palms, which were gripping their weapons, began to sweat. Clearly, they were extremely nervous.
“Xiao Chen, why are there so many desolate beasts charging at us?
Most desolate beasts don’t move alone, right? ”
Xuda ran as he asked Xiao Chen who was ten feet in front of him. He had participated in two Grand Hunting Tournaments and had a certain understanding of the desolate beasts in the Black Forest. He had never encountered such a situation.
Xiao Chen did not turn his head. All he did was reply impatiently, “I don’t know.”
“Everyone, stop asking. Escaping is more important!” Liu Ruyue could hear the impatience in Xiao Chen’s tone, so she tried to persuade him.
As Zhu Geming ran, he quickly thought about the reason for the desolate beasts’ rampage. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. His face turned livid as if he had thought of the reason. He said coldly, “Perhaps I know the reason. Someone has done something to the Black Forest to incite the desolate beasts’ rampage. Their goal is to kill us all!
Hmph! ”
“Desolate beasts’ rampage?”
Liu Ruyue, Zhao Yuhan and Xuda stopped in their tracks when they heard Zhu Geming’s cold words. They asked in puzzlement.
Xiao Chen, who was running at the front, felt the four people behind him stop, so he could only stop. His hearing was extraordinary, so he naturally heard what Zhu Geming said. His expression was as cold as usual, but his eyes became even sharper. Liu Riyue frowned slightly.
A thoughtful expression appeared on her face. Suddenly, her expression changed. She turned around and asked the gloomy Zhu Geming anxiously, “Zhu Geming, is the desolate beasts’ rampage related to a poison called Bestial Powder?” “Yes, Miss Liu, you are thinking the same thing as me.
No one in the Asura Tribe dares to sell Bestial Powder, but there are people in the black market in other tribes who dare to sell it. Bestial Powder is too poisonous to the desolate beasts. It can make them go berserk and lose all reason, making them unable to kill each other. If a human approaches them, it will incite them to attack all humans. Just now, we saw several desolate beast corpses. It is very likely that the desolate beasts attacked each other. And now, we have become the desolate beasts’ targets. ”
Zhu Geming nodded his head solemnly and spoke slowly. He was knowledgeable and had dabbled in all sorts of unorthodox knowledge. Coincidentally, he also had some understanding of something as poisonous as Bestial Powder.
As for Liu Ruyue, it was even less strange that she had heard of Bestial Powder. She was the chief auctioneer of the Liu clan’s auction house, so she had some understanding of the goods and secret medicines that existed on the Wilderness God Continent, especially in the Qilin Kingdom.
“Aiya!
Who would be so vicious as to harm us?
What do we do now? ”
Zhao Yuhan was a pure young lady. When she heard that someone had mobilized countless berserk desolate beasts to deal with them, her face immediately turned pale with fright. She spoke with a sobbing tone, not knowing what to do.
“Yuhan, don’t be afraid. The strongest desolate beast in the Black Forest is only a peak class four desolate beast. With Xiao Chen’s strength, he can easily kill it. As long as we can break out of the encirclement, we will be fine!”
When Liu Ruyue saw Zhao Yuhan’s terrified expression, she could not bear to see her like this, so she comforted her.
“That’s right, we still have a distress flare. If we really can’t do it, we can just call for help.
But don’t use the distress flare now. We must win the championship and get the Dragonheart Grass for Xiao Chen! “
