Chapter 372: Prelude to Danger

readx;

The adventurers who stood on the branch of the tree were all relieved, and Barnard wiped a cold sweat in his heart, if he didn't give the order to retreat to the tree just now and chose to fight against the beasts, I really don't know how many team members he would have to lose to defeat this group of silver-spotted leopard wolf beasts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the danger passed, there was an extra layer of doubt in Han Fei's heart, the adventurers did not hide their whereabouts, this group of silver-spotted leopard wolf beasts definitely discovered them, but except for the silver spotted leopard wolf beast just now who made a jumping attack action, the other wolf beasts completely ignored everyone's existence, and just ran around, not like migrating but like fleeing for their lives!

Han Fei raised his head and found that the emerald eyes of the Ice Moon Priestess standing opposite him also flashed with doubt, obviously discovering something strange in it.

At this moment, her expression returned to her original cold and indifferent, and when she saw Han Fei's blazing gaze sweeping over, she said coldly: "Thank you Your Excellency for your help, Bingyue will remember!"

The last few words slightly accentuated the tone, somewhat gnashing his teeth, Han Fei smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on her willow waist, but unfortunately, because the priest's robe covered that graceful figure, if you don't experience it with your own hands, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand the beauty of it.

Sensing Han Fei's ill-intentioned gaze, two blush suddenly flew on Bingyue's pretty face, and she immediately turned around and stopped facing Han Fei, finally avoiding the embarrassment.

"Don't go down yet, wait!" Barnard, who was standing on the other tree, said in a deep voice, "I feel something is wrong!"

Many experienced adventurers who have been walking on the edge of life and death for many years have the ability to directly perceive danger, and the slightest strangeness can make them feel that danger is approaching, and this intuition helps adventurers to save themselves and their team in many cases.

Not only Barnard, but Han Fei also felt that the danger did not move away with the departure of the beasts, and there were many footsteps of varying light and severity coming towards here, and the air was filled with an aura of danger and uneasiness, and the earth was trembling slightly.

"Herds, lots of herds!" exclaimed one adventurer.

Boom! Boom!

Following the pace of the silver-spotted leopard wolf beast, under the noses of the adventurers, a large number of beasts and spirit beasts rushed by, no one knew where they came from, but these beasts and spirit beasts are not a group, bears, tigers, leopards, rhinoceros... There were also all kinds of monsters whose names Han Fei couldn't even name, huddled together and ran away in a panic, as if something extremely terrifying was chasing after them!

"Fourth-Order Red Flame Tiger, Third-Order Iron-Horned Rhinoceros, Third-Order Purple-veined Blue-Eyed Leopard... Oh my God, how can there be so many spirit beasts!"

Such a scene made the adventurers stunned, and the Ice Moon Priestess, who didn't want to stay with Han Fei for even a second, couldn't help but widen her eyes and muttered, "Beast tide, is this the beast tide on Blue Whale Island?"

The beast tide on Blue Whale Island is quite famous, as long as people who know something about this giant island basically know, every few years, there will be a large-scale spirit beast riot on the island from the forest to attack the island's residents, because of the extremely large number of spirit beasts and the offensive wave after wave, so it is vividly called the beast tide.

No one can give an accurate explanation for the cause of the outbreak of the beast tide, but once it erupts, it is a rather serious threat to the sea tribes that have settled on the island, and at this time, adventurers of other races have a place to play.

For adventurers, the outbreak of the beast tide is not a bad thing, they usually receive a high price of hire from the Sea Clan to encircle and suppress the rioting spirit beasts, in addition to the lucrative commission, hunting spirit beasts to obtain loot is also a lot of income.

"It's not a beast tide, it's been less than two years since the last beast tide broke out, and it's impossible to reappear again in such a short period of time!" Barnard, who has been on the island for twenty years, denied the priestess's speculation: "It seems that it is possible that a high-level spirit beast has broken into the territory of these spirit beasts, making them have to run!"

Barnard's analysis was undoubtedly very reasonable, he stared at the forest in front of him, and the anxiety in his eyes became heavier: "I'm afraid, we'll have to change the route!"

The direction in which those spirit beasts poured out was the route of the adventurer's team - the Chitra Mountains, if there was really a powerful spirit beast entrenched there, it was undoubtedly the most stupid choice for the group to continue to rush forward in a daze, and changing the route was the only choice.

However, changing routes in this reckless forest is definitely not an easy and easy task, and although Barnard has a map in hand, it is another matter entirely to carve out a new route.

Han Fei's heart moved, listening to the words of this priestess, it was obvious that he didn't know more about Blue Whale Island than himself, otherwise he wouldn't have known the time of the last beast tide outbreak, it was very likely that the other party had also come to the island recently, and he was not a senior adventurer, and it seemed that he also had a lot of secrets.

Of course, Han Fei had no intention of exploring the other party's secrets, he couldn't join this team in order to familiarize himself with the situation on the island, so as to accumulate experience for future training and exploration, speaking of which, it was the first time to team up with the Heavenly Spirit Clan.

Everyone waited on the tree for about half an hour, making sure that no more beasts would pass by before they came down from the tree, and this time the priestess did not ask for any more help, she blessed herself with a feather fall technique and jumped lightly from the tree, gracefully like an elf descending into the mortal world, and two swordsmen immediately guarded her side.

The team's makeshift camp had been devastated by the herds that had passed by in succession, and there were no major losses, but at least half of the tents were no longer usable, and if they did not return to Pearl Harbor City for supplies, many people would have no tents to use or sleep with others on the rest of the trip.

However, no one paid attention to this small problem, although the division was not good, but no one would have any intention of returning to Pearl Harbor City, and it was definitely not a quality for a good adventurer to retreat immediately in the face of difficulties and dangers, unless he planned to quit the team.

Luckily, however, there was no loss of the heavy beasts and the supplies they carried, they were all tethered to the other side, and although they were greatly disturbed, they were not strong enough to break free from the extremely tough reins of the beast's tendons, otherwise the adventuring party would have to return to Pearl Harbor City to buy supplies again.

"The route we originally took should have been relatively safe, avoiding the main activity territory of the Chitra Griffin, the most dangerous seventh-order spirit beast in the Chitra Mountains..."Under the light of the spirit lamp, Barnard pointed to a route marked in red on the map and said: "Our current location should be here, the western edge of the Chitra Mountains, but now that there is such an accident, my suggestion is that we take a detour from here for a distance, about two days at most, to avoid the danger area as much as possible, what do you think?"

"Captain Barnard, we are still not sure if there is really a powerful spirit beast in front of us, is it appropriate to change the route in such a hurry?" the archer of the Celestial Spirit Clan objected, "The forests on Blue Whale Island often have fog, and it is easy to get lost, once we get out of the safe route..."

This archer was a man in his twenties, with silver hair and green eyes, who was very close to his two mages and fellow archers, and often made many barbarian warriors jealous.

As he expressed his opinion, his gaze fell on the Priestess of the Ice Moon, intentionally or unintentionally, and a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes, obviously interested in this beautiful woman of the same clan.

It's just that Bingyue directly ignored him, and his eyes were cold with a hint of disgust.

In the Celestial Spirit Clan, the status of the female surname is greater than that of the male surname, and its supreme ruler has always been the queen, but the number of male surnames is far less than that of the female surname, so polygamy is normal in the Celestial Spirit Clan, but its status will definitely not change because of the number of wives.

"Your Excellency Gamber, please trust my judgment, those spirit beasts just now will definitely not escape from their territory for no reason, unless they encounter an irresistible opponent..."Barnard was obviously not very polite to him, and said bluntly: "We can't send scouts to venture to explore, that would be irresponsible for his life, as for disorientation..."

The barbarian warrior said proudly: "I have lived on Blue Whale Island for twenty years, and I will not lose my way in the forest!"

While Barnard retorted to the other party, his eyes were staring at the female mage, obviously knowing who was useful to speak, and sure enough, the female mage nodded and said, "Gamber, listen to Barnard!"

Gamber immediately lowered his head, although he had two beautiful female companions at the same time, this did not mean that he had the right to speak.

Several barbarian warriors snickered, the barbarians are just the opposite of the Celestial Spirit Clan, women are basically vassals of men, and it is a shameful sign of cowardice to be afraid of their wives.

"Then it's decided!" Barnard patted the map and said, "It's not safe here, let's go on a night road to find a safe place to camp, we need to take turns to be on duty at night, and hurry up early tomorrow morning!"

There were no further objections, and everyone packed their bags and mounted the heavy beasts, and under the cover of night, headed towards the Chitra Mountains, but deviated from their original route.

After such an accident, the forest was much quieter, and the original beast roars that had come and gone almost disappeared, only the night wind brought a few terrible howls from afar, adding to the cold and terrifying atmosphere.

Sitting on the back of the weight-bearing beast, Han Fei squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the unfathomable forest in the distance, he faintly felt that there was a powerful existence lurking there, watching over him and this adventurous team!
