Chapter 58: The Hunt Fails

On the edge of the rubble, the beast was resting on a wide rock. There are few trees around the stone pile, and there are no branches to shield them, and the bright sunlight shines freely in every corner of the area. The shining light shone on the beast's hair, but it seemed to be swallowed by an invisible blood basin, and disappeared without a trace.

As the amount of sunlight absorbed and the number of small spirit beasts devoured by the unknown liquid on its body increased, the magical aura emanating from the body of this fierce beast gradually increased, its breathing became more and more stable, and even the terrifying wound on its stomach was recovering little by little. The beast's eyelids jumped, and its fleshy wings flicked up and down in comfort, comfortably waiting for its injuries and strength to fully recover.

At this moment, in another part of the forest, not far from the pile of rocks, six explorers in different costumes were staggering forward. Judging from their heavy steps and lowered heads, the six men were very tired. "There is a pile of stones in front of it, where there are few trees, the sun is full, and there are no fierce wild spirit animals nearby, so it is the best place to rest. Hold on a little longer, everyone, and we'll be almost there. A man who looked fairly energetic looked ahead and shouted encouragement to his teammates.

"You've been talking about going to a resting place since just now, but you haven't gotten there yet. Are you fooling us, are you fooling us?" complained the only woman in the group, who looked very smart in the usual linen adventure suit, with a short blade around her waist and a crisp short haircut.

Ma Duke was questioned by the woman, and smiled very helplessly: "Li Man, don't worry, I have walked dozens or hundreds of times in this secluded forest, how can I not remember such an important rest area." I said it's almost there, it's really coming. We continued in this direction, and in another ten minutes or so, we would definitely be there. While explaining to his companions, Maduke secretly scolded in his heart: his grandmother's is really difficult to serve. With such a group of pampered young masters, they dare to run to such a place, and they have to pull me along with their bad luck. If I hadn't lied to you that there was a place to rest, I would have stayed still on the ground in the morning, and you still blamed me?

Several people continued to move forward in the direction that Maduko pointed out, and after a while, one of the stocky men suddenly spoke up, startling the others: "Did you hear anything?"

The woman named Li Man was provoked by him, turned around and scolded him angrily: "Do you think it's in your house now? It's normal for some strange movements in this kind of place, don't make a fuss!"

The man wanted to say something, but heard Ma Duke's impatient voice: "Don't be so nervous, didn't I just say? There are no fierce wild spirit beasts around here, at most some palm-sized reptiles, there will be no danger." Let's hurry up, there are only ten minutes left, so don't rub around here. The man looked at the two leaders with such a resolute attitude, although there were still some doubts and worries in his heart, but he could only continue to follow them forward.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the scene in front of several people suddenly changed from dim to bright and dazzling, shaking the eyes of several people. After a few moments of habitation, they saw a large vacancy in the woods ahead. The further you go, the bigger these vacancies become. "See, there's an open space in front of us, and we can have a good rest here. Maduko said triumphantly, striding forward, throwing the others some distance away.

The others were amused by Maduko's sassy behavior, and they glanced at each other, shrugged at each other, and continued to follow. Before they could reach the exit of the bushes, they saw Maduko running back in a panic, with his eyes wide open and his expression distorted, shouting at them, "Run!"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what kind of fame he is doing. Li Man frowned and walked up, and rebuked loudly: "Maduke, what are you messing around?

As soon as Li Man's words fell, an earth-shattering roar came from the clearing: "Whew!"

A black shadow that covered the sky and the sun suddenly pressed over, destroying most of the trees near the exit in an instant. The other five, including Leman, were able to see the full extent of what was roaring—its massive size, its hideous horns, its strong wings, and the thick black liquid that squirmed all over its body—a terrifying monster that only appeared in nightmares!

"Run!" Li Man screamed, turned his head and tried to escape. At this time, her heart was full of resentment towards Maduke: liar, didn't he say that there were no dangerous spirit beasts in this vicinity?

The other people also turned around and left, but as soon as their eyes went black, the thick liquid on the monster's body shot towards them like tentacles, and in the blink of an eye, they caught up with several people and blocked their way.

The six explorers looked at the terrifying monster with desperate eyes, their legs trembling, and the air was faintly filled with the smell of urine—Li Man, who was closest to the monster, was already frightened and incontinent.

"Chirp!" Just when a few people were already hopeless about life, a birdsong suddenly came from behind them, and then a wind-attribute magic light knife flew out, hitting the monster's back. The monster roared in pain, and the liquid shot out from its body, striking the enemy as it pursued.

On the back of the brown giant eagle attacking the monster sat a woman in red, her eyes were resolute, she took out a long black and red whip from her waist, jumped up from the eagle's back with a loud shout, and brandished the long whip to kill the attacking monster - it was Yu Shihan who chased the fierce beast all the way.

The black liquid "long whip" and the spirit weapon long whip in Yu Shihan's hand whipped together, and the powerful magic power collided and sent Yu Shihan flying backwards, and the monster was also impacted and fell from the air.

Cao Sheng's giant eagle let out a long roar, circled down to catch Yu Shihan, and carried her to kill the monster again. At the same time, Cao Sheng's other five spirit pets also launched attacks one after another, and for a while, six or seven magic waves with different attributes attacked the monster, and the latter couldn't dodge, and was hit several times by the front, and the stinky blood burst out of its chest and head.

"Roar!" The monster screamed violently, waved its two fleshy wings and turned to run. Yu Shihan hurriedly urged the giant eagle to pursue, and he swung his long whip again in the rear to throw it at the monster.

However, the monster was so intelligent that when it was about to be overtaken, its two scarlet eyes swept downward, and then more than a dozen black liquids flew from its body, shooting like spears towards the explorers below. Seeing this, Yu Shihan's heart sank, and he hurriedly threw away the whip, took out a small magic circle from his arms and threw it at several explorers. The circle flew above several people, blocking most of the black "spears", but there were still a few "spears" that bypassed the circle and pierced the chest of a man, who spat blood from his mouth and fell to the ground and died.

"Liu Ruiping!" his companion shouted, and the monster took advantage of the moment to flick its wings vigorously and flew into the bushes, escaping Yu Shihan's pursuit.

Yu Shihan controlled the giant eagle to land slowly, looking at the fierce beast fleeing in the distance, his eyes were complicated. Unwillingness, sorrow, guilt, worry, these different emotions were mixed together in her heart, thinking of her distant father and Cao Sheng, who was still lying dying in another part of the forest, she didn't know how she should face such a result.

Taking a few deep breaths and temporarily suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, Yu Shihan looked at the few people in front of her and walked towards them.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" she asked, holding back the anger in her heart, in the calmest tone possible—if it weren't for the sudden intrusion of these men, she wouldn't have fallen short. Despite this, Yu Shihan still endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and wanted to ask about the situation first.

"Who do you care who we are?" Unexpectedly, one of the men in the team was very arrogant, "Ask us why we are here, aren't you here too?"

Yu Shihan frowned, resisted the urge to kill him with a whip, and continued to ask: "I appeared here to capture the monster just now, and you have all seen it, you can't let this kind of thing go." And you--the ban on the forest started five days ago, how did you get in?" the team in front of him looked of average strength, not like someone who could stay in such a dangerous place for more than five days in one go.

"We ... The stocky man on the side was stumbling, looking like he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it. But the man who answered just now didn't care, and replied arrogantly: "Who are we? Can you be too lazy to break the ban? You go to Dadu Town to inquire about what my Li Hao family does!"

Yu Shihan was furious after hearing this: It's just such a group of scoundrels who don't follow the rules and delay their big things! She was so angry that her face was flushed, she glared at these people angrily, and asked in a low tone: "Do you know what you have done? It's just because of you self-righteous bastards that you have delayed my big things!"

The man raised his head disdainfully, pointed his nostrils at Yu Shihan, tilted his mouth and said in a flirtatious tone: "What kind of bullshit is a big thing, isn't it just chasing an ugly thing? Just for this little thing, what is the difference between it and us? Isn't it all for poaching, don't pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring, isn't it disgusting?"

"You!" Yu Shihan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she only felt a tightness in her chest. She had lived to be in her twenties, and she had never seen such a brazen person. Her jade hand clutched her own fire whip, and her brain couldn't stop wanting to kill this dog-like scoundrel with a whip.

"Li Hao's family, don't say it. Li Man looked at the woman in red's face becoming more and more gloomy, and secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly spoke up. "Thank you, girl, for saving your life. As you said, we really don't know the seriousness of the matter, and we sneak in with a fluke mentality, trying to take advantage of the lack of people. But I don't want to delay your big event, girl, I'm really sorry. But you see, we really did it unintentionally, and we didn't mean to get in your way. And we have been punished, frightened, and a man has died. She pointed to the man who was lying in a pool of blood not far away.

Yu Shihan looked in the direction she pointed, and also saw the dead man, the anger in her heart subsided a little, and her face was not so ugly. Li Man observed the words, and hurriedly continued to comfort: "Girl, you are so strong, you must be a big family or a master, why bother with us scoundrels, wouldn't this defile your nobility, and even the glory of your ancestors has been affected by us shameless villains." You see, it's better for us to treat it as if we haven't seen it, you just think you've seen a few inconspicuous insects, and let us go. We left here as soon as we could, promising not to come back. The atmosphere didn't dare to finish this paragraph, Li Man looked at Yu Shihan with a respectful expression, waiting for her answer.

Yu Shihan looked at this woman, let out a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "Forget it, you guys should leave quickly." After saying that, she turned around and sat on the giant eagle and commanded the spirit pets to find Cao Sheng.

Li Man watched her leave, and hung his head in relief. Li Hao's family came over and complained scoundrelly: "Sister Li, why do you let her... ”

"Shut up!" Li Man straightened up and glared at him angrily, "Do you know what you're doing? Such a strong man can crush you to death with a finger, and you dare to provoke her without long eyes? Don't bring us with you if you're tired of living yourself." After speaking, without waiting for Li Haojia to say anything, she waved her hand: "Let's go, let's get out of here quickly." ”
