Four wolf-type monster beasts suddenly burst out from beside Cui Xu. With extre speed and perfect coordination, they directly took down Cui Xu. Even though Cui Xu had King-level strength, he had no chance to escape. They bit his shoulder blades on both sides and dragged him away.
This monster beast attack was extrely fast, one strike and hit, leaving Cui Xu without any power to resist. He didn't even have ti to react. This greatly shocked the hidden Xiaoyao and Dongfang Wunian, who could hardly believe it.
First, these monster beasts' strength seed to have reached advanced level, equivalent to martial artists' King-level strength. Moreover, they knew how to attack together and even ambush, this made people feel there was sothing very suspicious about this situation.
Could there really be Monster Clan? If it were Monster Clan, it seed to explain this strange phenonon, being able to make monster beasts cooperate and silently control a team that had an elder.
"Monster Clan!" Dongfang Wunian felt this was the only possibility, although she didn't understand why the Monster Clan would attack the team. The team hadn't penetrated deep into Monster Clan territory, and the monster beasts they killed outside were very ordinary. Even the Monster Clan themselves might kill those monster beasts.
Monster beasts were a race where the strong preyed on the weak. Different species often killed each other, of course, usually the strong hunted the weak.
Therefore, the Monster Clan couldn't possibly care about humans killing monster beasts, unless it was large-scale genocidal behavior. Otherwise, they wouldn't interfere.
After being taught lessons, basically no one would do such things anymore. Moreover, the number and martial power of monster beasts weren't so easily genocided.
...
...
"Never mind all that, we're retreating," Xiaoyao very decisively made a decision, imdiately leave this place. He wouldn't care about what was happening ahead.
What were those people ahead to Xiaoyao? Just a group of people he had recently t with no real relationship. In such a dangerous situation, going to save them would get himself involved too. This completely didn't conform to Xiaoyao's survival principles.
At the sa ti, most importantly, even if he went, he couldn't save them. Why take the risk?
"They're in danger, we need to save them,” Dongfang Wunian wasn't as heartless as Xiaoyao. She wanted to save her senior brothers and sisters, to save the elder.
"Now they're in danger. If we go to save people, then we'll also be in danger! If you want to go save them, I won't stop you. I'll go report the news and co back to collect your bodies," Xiaoyao said very straightforwardly. Even if Dongfang Wunian went to save people, he would still choose to flee.
"Fine, you go back and call for reinforcents. You wouldn't be much use staying here anyway," Dongfang Wunian was a little disappointed. She hadn't expected Xiaoyao to be even more heartless than her sister.
Xiaoyao didn't care about Dongfang Wunian's thoughts. So what if she despaired of him? He wasn't anyone to her, and she wasn't anyone to him.
"Alright. Retreat when you see danger, needless sacrifice is unnecessary," Xiaoyao very decisively quietly left.
"..." Dongfang Wunian felt a little resentful. Even though she knew Xiaoyao was going to retreat, Xiaoyao being so decisive still left her sowhat unable to react.
Hmph, go then, go!
Dongfang Wunian ignored Xiaoyao and continued stealthily advancing forward. She saw the elder and others surrounded in the middle, injured but seemingly all alive, including the previous Cui Xu, he was also alive.
But everyone seed to have lost their fighting ability. Although not dead, they weren't in good condition either.
At this mont, Dongfang Wunian was even more confused. Why didn't these monster beasts directly kill the people but instead surrounded them? This looked very obviously planned, and ordinary monster beasts couldn't possibly have such intelligence. Could there really be Monster Clan?
Dongfang Wunian carefully observed and discovered that besides those wolf-type monster beasts, there were no other monster beasts here. She knew wolves were pack animals, and wolf-type monster beasts also had pack characteristics. It was normal for them to appear in groups and attack humans.
But this pack of wolf-type monster beasts shouldn't have such high intelligence, surrounding people without killing them was like a trap to attract more people. What was going on exactly?
Was it because these wolf-type monster beasts had unspeakable purposes, or purely because they had strange reasons?
"Awoo!"
Dongfang Wunian saw a snow-white wolf-type monster beast erge from the wolf pack. This monster beast's fur was entirely snow-white and crystalline, its body slender but full of power. Combined with its silver-white enchanting eyes, for so reason, Dongfang Wunian felt an urge to rush up and embrace it when she saw this monster beast.
Because this monster beast looked really too beautiful, making people naturally want to get close.
The monster beast's eyes looked toward Dongfang Wunian's direction and suddenly spoke, "Human, if you want to save your companions, co down and talk!"
"Ah..." Dongfang Wunian was stunned. It really was Monster Clan, it could actually speak and had discovered her. That made sense, if it was Monster Clan, it must be much stronger than her and would naturally detect her presence.
Dongfang Wunian ca down, slowly walking into the crowd. This wasn't because she was obedient, but because when the monster beast spoke, she was already surrounded by a pack of wolf-type monster beasts. These wolf-type monster beasts were very fierce, completely different from that monster beast. She believed these wolf-type monster beasts all listened to that monster beast.
Whether they listened or not, under the encirclent of these wolf-type monster beasts, she had no hope of escaping unscathed. Better to listen to that monster beast's words, perhaps this situation still had a chance for resolution.
After all, that monster beast could speak and had intelligence, which ant it was possible to negotiate. When encountering these monster beasts, the most frightening thing was having nothing to negotiate about and being slaughtered directly.
"Wunian, you shouldn't have co back," The elder said sowhat weakly at this mont. From the injuries on his body, there didn't seem to have been too intense a battle, yet this could explain one thing, he had been subdued in a short ti.
The elder was Emperor-level. Even if just entry-level Emperor-level, he was still a very powerful existence and not so easily subdued.
With this wolf pack, even if the elder were late-stage Emperor-level, it would still be futile. There were many wolves here, and their strength was all very powerful. Unless Heavenly Gate sent out high-specification teams, they would all be defeated.
Initially, Dongfang Wunian had this thought, feeling the elder was defeated by the wolf pack. But now it seed that wasn't the case. It appeared he was taken down by this exceptionally beautiful monster beast before them. This monster beast's strength was probably at the apex of monster beasts, it was in the Monster Clan category.
"Elder, I want to save you all," Dongfang Wunian said. Perhaps others would say sothing else, feeling that since they were trapped here, they no longer had the qualification to say this. But she felt facts were facts, this was what she thought.
"I know, but you should have gone to get reinforcents," the elder said. If reinforcents ca, these monster beasts before them could be dealt with. Heavenly Gate wouldn't need to mobilize everything to easily take down these monster beasts.
The monster beasts here were very strong, and there was a quasi-Monster Clan mber, but Heavenly Gate had more people. If half the Emperor-level people ca, they could take down the monster beasts here.
At this mont, Dongfang Wunian seed to understand Xiaoyao's thinking and felt what Xiaoyao did was very correct, although it might be too late.
Regardless, she still faintly replied to the elder, "Soone has already gone..."
"Soone went? Right, that boy Xiaoyao didn't co. But whether he can even walk back is questionable, he might have been bitten to death by monster beasts before returning." The elder was sowhat disappointed.
"Damn, old man, how can you talk like that? I went to get reinforcents for you all, and you actually cursed like this."
A voice ca over, greatly surprising the elder and others. Dongfang Wunian imdiately looked toward the source of the voice, wondering in her heart, didn't he go get reinforcents? How did he co back?
A figure rapidly rushed from outside, making people see only a flash before the figure appeared among the crowd. When they could see clearly, they confird this person was—
Xiaoyao!
"Xiaoyao, how did you co back? Did your conscience suddenly awaken?" Dongfang Wunian asked curiously. This ti definitely wasn't enough to go back and report. The possibility for Xiaoyao's appearance was that he suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to co help her save people.
"I had no choice, there's sothing even worse over there," Xiaoyao said breathlessly.
"What?" Dongfang Wunian asked puzzledly.
Before Xiaoyao could answer, the wolf pack suddenly changed. They all turned toward the direction Xiaoyao ca from, letting out wary low growls.
This felt like the wolf pack was facing a great enemy, and that special monster beast was also looking in that direction, frowning!
Damn, I can tell it's frowning, this is too amazing!
Xiaoyao shouted in his heart. Like Xiaoyao, others had the sa feeling, all feeling that monster beast was frowning, sensing a trace of annoyance and worry from it.
Even if this monster beast wasn't Monster Clan, it wasn't far from Monster Clan level. Or perhaps it was Monster Clan that couldn't transform into human form.
Monster beasts with high intelligence didn't necessarily transform into human form. So continued in their original monster beast form, but they could all speak and communicate with humans.
Soon, Xiaoyao understood this monster's worry. It should be that pack of monster beasts that forced him to return, they were its worry. If he guessed correctly, they should be this wolf pack's mortal enemies.
"Black Tiger monster beasts, and so many, how did they gather here?" Dongfang Wunian looked at that group of monster beasts, a pack of black tiger-type monster beasts with a specific na: Black Tiger monster beasts.
Everyone's understanding of Black Tiger monster beasts was that they always acted alone. One mountain couldn't contain two tigers, unless they were male and female.
