Three days later.
The area around the Diseased Forest had become a sea of wild beasts.
The earth was shaking, and the forest was howling.
Countless Armored Rhinoceroses, Razorback Wild Boars, Mountain Leopards, and Giant Pythons swarmed out from deep within the forest, flooding the land in front of them like a flood. Behind them, hordes of wolves, lions, and ferocious tigers ran and howled. Countless Baboons and Giant Apes leaped between the treetops as if they were flying, occasionally letting out loud cries that shook the entire forest.
Looking down from the sky, in the boundless and precipitous forests and mountains, countless wild beasts were running and roaring, and some were even fighting and biting each other. The entire forest was filled with black spots. There were lions, tigers, bulls, black bears, wild boars, cheetahs, giant lizards, pythons, and even bats, baboons, and owls, all of them running toward the Diseased Forest with all their might …
The leaders of the Magical Beasts drove hordes of ferocious beasts out of their nests, heading straight for the forest. Along the way, they caught up with many low-level wild beasts. By the time they got close to the Diseased Forest, they had formed a small-scale Beast Tide.
The pack of Chimeras that occupied the area around the Diseased Forest did not show themselves. The horde of beasts charged straight into the cave at the foot of the mountain, heading underground through the dark tunnel. The many bats living in the cave were startled. They flapped their wings and flew into the sky, circling the nearby forest like a black cloud.
But with the arrival of the large flock of birds, the bats that were reluctant to leave immediately scattered and fled into the surrounding forest, not daring to show their faces again.
Up in the sky, a Witchcraft Eye formed by the condensation of fire elements was silently overlooking everything beneath it, trying its best to focus its gaze on a few particularly burly monsters.
On top of a pile of rocks in front of the cave, a dozen or so monster leaders stood tall, driving the beasts into the underground.
The hidden Wizard Eye slowly swept its gaze across them. Grim and Gargamel, who were in the underground Wizard's Pagoda, carefully observed the attacking Magical Beasts through the Water Mirror.
The Three-headed Magic Hound, Anguja, with three heads … was perched on top of a pile of rocks, letting out a strange bark with its bloody mouth wide open. In front of it, fourteen Canine Devil Beasts were sniffing around with sticky saliva dripping from their mouths. They were acting as supervisors, growling and urging the beasts to move faster.
She had the appearance of a beautiful woman, a long snake tail behind her, and a head full of strange snake hair … Her snake-like lower body was covered with purplish-black fine scales, and her four-meter-tall body had the seductive head of a beautiful human woman. Her naked upper body was only covered with indigo-colored sharp scales, and the mound of flesh in front of her chest was densely covered with layers upon layers of indigo-colored sharp teeth.
As a female Medusa, the two bulging bulges on Dana's chest kept swaying with her every move, which was very eye-catching. On her back was a strange-looking longbow, which seemed to be some kind of powerful magical weapon.
She tried her best to straighten her slender tail, lifting her beautiful body up high, making her look taller and more majestic than the other monsters around her.
In front of her, there were seven Medusae with short bows in their hands, and their long, forked tongues flicking out from their mouths. Their figures were not much different from Medusa's, but the color of the snake tails and the fine scales on their bodies were a little dimmer. As for their abilities, only two of them had reached the rank of a Wizard. The other five ranged from Quasi-Wizards to Intermediate Apprentices, and their abilities varied.
Surrounding the Medusae were ten or so tall and muscular Minotaurs.
The Minotaurs looked like tall humans with the head of a bull. They were about seven feet tall when they stood up, and weighed more than 700 pounds (about 320 kilograms). They were covered in thick hair, and had a pair of large horns on their heads. Their hands were similar to humans, but they had five fingers on their palms. Their thumbs faced the other four, and there were sharp claws at the ends of the fingers. Their feet were similar to the broad hooves of a bull.
There was a metal ring at the tip of the Minotaurs' nostrils, and the air they exhaled caused the metal ring to vibrate as they walked, making a clanking sound. A pair of blood-red, angry eyes scanned left and right, and foot-long scars could be seen everywhere on their chests. They held a large axe in their hands, and it looked like they were about to devour someone.
These Minotaurs were obviously low-level magical creatures enslaved by Medusa. They loyally guarded the Medusae, vigilantly watching any 'enemy' that dared to approach them.
Apart from these impressive magical creature leaders, there was also the Berserk Baboon Split Tooth, the Two-Legged Flying Dragon King Lark, and the Ite Monster Guli … All of them had strange appearances, and they looked like terrifying magical creatures that walked out of the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures. They gathered in front of the cave, silently waiting for the arrival of the main characters of today's battle.
They didn't have to wait for long. After a large group of beasts entered the underground, countless terrifying little Magic Spiders surged out from the Black Forest not far away. Their numbers had reached an astonishing level, densely covering the entire field of vision.
The little Magic Spiders were about the size of a fist, and their hairy black bodies were covered in purple stripes. They had four pairs of slender spider legs, and on their backs was a large, round, and bulging belly.
Surrounded by the tide-like little spiders, Tula's mountain-like body slowly appeared in front of the 'people'.
"Since you're here, let's attack!" Tula's voice echoed in the minds of the magical creature leaders, "I can't wait to taste the sweet flesh and blood of human Wizards. Let the children move …"
Following Tula's order, the number of spiders surging out of the forest increased by a few orders of magnitude. Countless spiders of different sizes swarmed out, and in an instant, some of the beasts that didn't have time to rush into the cave were drowned.
Strange sounds of chewing and biting could be heard from the sea of spiders.
The beasts that were drowned by the sea of spiders could no longer be seen. All that could be seen were small, squirming, and bulging lumps. When the lumps exploded, the spiders surged past them, leaving only a set of white animal bones and a few strands of hair.
None of the magical creature leaders dared to protest against these sporadic "accidental injuries". They could only try their best to restrain their subordinates and make them avoid the direction of the spider army.
The veteran demon-hunting spider Tula's hairy face didn't show any expression. It stretched out its sturdy limbs, leaving behind deep scratches on the rocks that were as hard as steel.
"Let's go, we should go in too!"
Under its lead, the magical creature leaders followed behind the tide-like spider army and swarmed into the bat cave.
… …
The leaders in the rear had yet to make a move, but the frontlines of the battle were already filled with blood.
As the leader of the magical creatures in the Sick Forest, the Chimeras had a powerful influence in the underground world that outsiders could not compare to.
Before the enemy launched an attack, they would dive deep into the ground and drive large groups of underground creatures to the shallow surface. This way, when the beasts on the surface rushed into the dark, deep, and interconnected labyrinthine tunnels, the first thing they encountered were these cold-blooded killers hiding in the dark caves and cracks in the rock strata.
Rock Pythons, Petrified Lizards, Clawed Terror, Underground Dwarves, Evil Eyes, Gnolls, Lizardmen, Harpies …
These creatures that lived deep underground were all experts in ambushes and ambushes. They hid in every corner, and every time a prey passed by, they would jump up and use their poisonous teeth or strange natural abilities to make the prey instantly lose the ability to resist.
Under their ambush, the first batch of forest beasts that rushed into the underground suffered heavy losses and quickly became delicious meals in their stomachs.
However, there were too many creatures on the surface that rushed in.
The once silent underground tunnel had now become a noisy market. The roars of lions and tigers could be heard everywhere, and the howls of wolves and apes could be heard everywhere … Too many prey had just been strangled by them, and before they could even have a good meal, the stampeding Beast Tide surged over.
The underground killers, who had never seen such a scene, could not care less about killing and chose to hide. The unlucky ones who did not hide in time immediately became the stepping stones of the swarming beast tide.
It was fine if it was stepped on a few times by fellows like the Wild Wolf or Earth Leopard, but if it were to be trampled on by a huge black bear or a panting Razor Boar, even a Petrified Lizard with thick scales would have a hard time keeping its life.
In the twisting and turning underground tunnels, terrifying sounds of tearing and biting rang out from countless dark corners, accompanied by shrill, short screams and angry roars. In these dark corners that no one could see, lives that were originally fresh and lively were quickly lost just like that!
From the entrance to the underground cave complex where the Wizard's Pagoda was, all of the underground tunnels were filled with the grotesque corpses of the surface creatures and blood stains. The corpses of the weak creatures had even turned into pools of flesh and blood that no one could discern after being trampled by countless pairs of stinking hooves.
Even though the underground creatures had put up a good fight, there were too many surface creatures charging in. Thus, in less than half an hour, this batch of underground creatures had been completely wiped out. And the beast tide that had lost its restraints continued to charge deeper into the underground!
In just half an hour, as many as 3,000 creatures had died in these underground labyrinths. Less than 400 of them had been killed by the underground creatures, and the rest had died in the disorderly crowding and trampling.
These surface creatures that had been chased here were clearly not used to this dim environment where one could not even see their own fingers. In this place, they could not see anything, and could not determine the direction they were heading in.
Most of the beasts charging at the front were injured by the rough underground tunnels. If they slowed down a little, they would be trampled and killed by their "companions" behind them. Thus, if they did not want to die, the only way was to run forward in the dark. Run forward. As long as there was a path in front of them, they would run with all their might …
