"Go after it!"
The girls were about to rush out.
"Wait!" Young Master Lan stopped them and said, "If we find it, we won't be afraid of it escaping. However, it's better to be more cautious in this dangerous area. "
The girl in blue smiled reservedly, but her eyes flashed with displeasure.
The young man in embroidered robes pondered for a while and said, "If we continue forward, the mystical beasts will inevitably become stronger. Everyone, pay attention to our surroundings. Elder Hu, Elder Song, you guys who are skilled in mystical cultivation should pay close attention."
The few elders spoke in unison, "We dare not be called that by Young Master Lan. We dare not to do our best."
The young man in embroidered robes smiled and said, "For the sake of safety, everyone should form a defensive circle. The girls will command in the center, while the rest of us will each look in one direction. This way, even if something happens, we will still have room to react."
This young man in embroidered robes seemed to know how to do things. Especially when he said that the girls would command in the center, it made the five girls smile.
The so-called command was fake; the real thing was to protect everyone.
But this sentence was a step ahead to protect the self-esteem of those girls. It was really a painstaking effort.
"There are not many people here anymore … there are almost no traces of people walking by." The group of people whispered as they walked.
"That Cloud Squirrel seems to have gone that way …"
"It jumped just now, so fast."
"But it's so cute, no wonder Sister Yun Yan likes it …"
Above their heads, the fluttering of startled birds could be heard from time to time.
As they chased after the so-called "Cloud Squirrel", they unknowingly went deeper and deeper into the forest … but there was no movement in their surroundings. It was calm and peaceful, so they did not pay much attention to it.
Finally …
"Swoosh, swoosh …"
A strange sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and they all crouched down to conceal their figures. Only then did they look over warily, only to see a few Xuan Beasts, like a gust of wind, disappear into the dense forest in front of them with a 'shua' sound.
"Gale Wolves! That's a sixth-level mystical beast, Gale Wolves! "
Elder Hu's expression was relaxed as he said, "Young Masters and Young Ladies, you don't have to worry. Although the Gale Wolves habitually move in groups, they definitely won't pose a threat to us. On the other hand, if we're lucky enough to find the location of their nest, we might even be able to bring back a few dozen Gale Wolf pups. Young Master Lan will be rich. "
Young Master Lan smiled reservedly and said, "Yes, a sixth-tier mystical beast's cub can indeed make a fortune. However, how can I be the only one to make a fortune? Everyone here should have a share."
Everyone present, including the girls, were obviously frequent hunters in this area. At this moment, there was no fear on their faces.
Whooshing sounds continued to ring out in front. When everyone looked in the direction of the sounds, they saw packs of Gale Wolves fleeing in panic.
However, for some unknown reason, a group of leopards were fleeing for their lives in panic …
Behind them were a group of pangolins. They might not be as fast as the Wind Wolves or leopards, but they were still fleeing as if their lives depended on it.
Another group …
Just like that, no less than twenty to thirty types of mystical beasts passed by in a row. All of them were fleeing in groups, as if they were avoiding some kind of terrorist attack.
"We've seen quite a number of mystical beasts today. It's a pity that they're fleeing too quickly. This forest is extremely vast. Once we miss them, it'll be difficult to attack." A youth said regretfully.
"That's right, that's right. I've been counting along the way. There have been twenty-eight to twenty-nine mystical beast hordes. How could there be such a commotion …"
Another youth shook his head, showing off his extraordinary memory that far surpassed that of his peers.
In the crowd, Elder Song's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression instantly changed!
"Young Master Lan!"
Elder Song took a few steps forward and said, "I'm afraid the situation is not good. We need to retreat immediately before it's too late!"
Young Master Lan frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What do you mean by that? "
"The mystical beasts are fleeing in such a large group. It's very likely that there are high-level mystical beasts heading this way. If it's true …" Elder Song's face was already drenched in sweat. It was obvious that his heart was no longer just a 'if', but rather a 'ten thousand'!
This Young Master Lan was not a stubborn and stupid person. He was instantly shocked when he heard this. He readily agreed and said, "That's right, that's right. Everyone, retreat quickly!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late to retreat now.
Actually, it was already too late. They were originally targeting the target. Their movements were also the signal for the start of the operation. At this moment, they were just pulling the curtain to the end to make it more realistic!
The entire dark forest was suddenly filled with rustling sounds. The rustling sounds came from all directions, and it seemed to encompass the entire world.
At the same time as the rustling sound was heard, a faint stench of blood could be smelled.
"It's a group of snakes! A large group of snakes!"
Elder Song's expression changed. "It's too late to retreat now. Quickly clear an empty space and build a defensive line to deal with the incoming danger! Old Hu, Old Kong, quick! "
As he spoke, he was the first to unsheathe his sword and cut a large tree in half. Following that, he kicked the broken tree far away.
A few experts moved upon hearing the news. Together with the two hundred guards, they moved. Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of trees around them had been cleared away.
Even the weeds on the ground were pulled up and piled up around them. Following that, layers of realgar, sulfur, and other repellent drugs were densely laid out in more than ten layers. The haystacks were even doused with kerosene. In the middle of all this was an empty space of several hundred feet.
The people had already lit up the matches in their hands. Their faces were filled with nervousness. Once they realized that something was wrong, they would ignite the fire without hesitation.
As long as the fire was ignited, it would form a defensive line that would block the mystical beasts' attacks. This would greatly increase the chances of survival for their side.
It had to be said that these people's response was quite methodical.
Complemented by their manpower, material resources, and comprehensive combat power, the ordinary attacks of the serpents would not be able to shake their formation!
However, the lingering rustling sound was getting more and more intense and ear-piercing. The stench of blood was also getting stronger and stronger. Everyone tried their best to look into the distance. In an instant, their faces turned pale. Their bodies were covered in cold sweat. The girls in the most central position were even shivering.
As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of venomous snakes coming from all directions. It was as if the place where everyone was standing had become the gathering point.
Countless venomous snakes were crawling on the ground. Some were crawling between the branches. There were even some that had gradually approached the outer circle of trees, coiling around them …
Slowly, all the trees and branches outside the defensive line were covered with venomous snakes!
The density of the venomous snakes had almost reached the point where the leaves of these trees could not be seen!
The situation was already extremely bad, but the rustling sound in the distance did not stop. There was also the sound of a large body being dragged on the ground … That was a large poisonous snake, and it was actually rushing over in batches …
Everyone's faces had already turned deathly pale!
Up until now, the number of venomous snakes that could be seen had already exceeded ten million!
The forest around the defensive line could be said to have been filled with venomous snakes.
Yes, it was filled. There were venomous snakes everywhere. There was nothing else!
After a while, there were continuous snapping sounds. That was the sound of some branches breaking because they could not bear the weight of the venomous snakes.
The trees here were all very old. Their quality was naturally much higher than normal trees. Many branches could not bear the weight of the venomous snakes and broke. This meant that there were at least ten to twenty venomous snakes entrenched on a tree branch at the same time. The number of snakes and the density of the snakes had already reached a point where even wind could not pass through. Needless to say, the first batch of snakes had already coiled on the ground. The snakes flicked their tongues in and out, extremely arrogant!
"It's over …" Young Master Lan's face was pale. "It is said that there is a snake king in this mountain range. I'm afraid it is making a move … This time, we …"
"Everyone, pay attention." Elder Hu's face was also pale. "The only thing we can do now is to fight to the death and seek survival in the midst of death! We have a total of 230 people. Our individual strength is far superior to that of the snakes. It would be a waste to fight at the same time. Moreover, we will not have time to rest and recover. There will be no room for maneuver. We will split into three teams. Each team will have to resist for at least two hours! "
"Also, all the young masters and young mistresses, please quickly send out the distress signal that you are carrying and ask for backup!"
"In this way, we might still have a chance of survival!"
The young masters and young mistresses of the big families were all flustered. They took out the signal rockets. A few of them trembled and dropped the signal rockets on the ground. It could be seen that their reaction time was really terrible!
Luckily, the signal rockets were not too weak. In the end, they still sent out all of them in a hurry.
Bang, bang, bang …
In the sky, there were continuous explosions. The thick smoke did not disperse for a long time.
"Don't send out all the distress signals in one go!" Elder Chen almost vomited blood. These people actually sent out all the distress signals in one go!
This is practically asking for death!
Do you think that if you send out the signal rockets once, someone will definitely see it? Do you think you are a person blessed by the heavens?!
The surrounding snakes were still gathering. There were more and more of them gathering. They were almost piling up. Layer by layer, they surged up, but they had yet to launch an attack.
However, this was more frightening than a simple attack. It was like a nightmare, causing all the young masters and young mistresses to feel dizzy. Many people even vomited directly.
A few women even vomited out their bile.
The few old men and guards all expressed their helplessness towards the performance of these young masters and young mistresses.
Accompanying this group of fellows was simply the worst luck of eight lifetimes.
This group of young masters and young mistresses looked bright and beautiful, as if they were all dragons and phoenixes among men. However, when faced with such a life and death situation, they were of no use at all. Instead, they could only be a burden!
The people who were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements found that the situation was getting more and more disadvantageous. The swishing sounds in the surroundings were actually getting louder and louder.
"Look … Oh my god …" A voice of despair blurted out.
Giant snakes as thick as water buckets suddenly appeared in all directions. There seemed to be thicker, bigger, and longer snakes in the distance … All of them were winding their way over!
At this moment, everyone had lost confidence in whether they could survive or not!
It was also at this moment that the snakes began to attack!
Suddenly, all the poisonous snakes on the trees fell down. Immediately, there was a layer of poisonous snake bed, or perhaps it was a poisonous snake tread, that was five feet thick. It had already covered all the smell of the drugs.
Then, the super fierce lineup of tens of millions of vipers surged over from all directions as if they were toppling mountains and overturning seas.
