As soon as the roar ended, the originally quiet Magical Beast Mountain Range suddenly became lively. Countless sleeping magical beasts were awakened, and all kinds of roars came from all directions. All the roars of the magical beasts were filled with fear. None of the magical beasts dared to provoke the roar of the tiger.
Hearing the tiger's roar, Jianchen's expression slightly changed, and he immediately became very serious, "Damn, that's the Golden Fur Tiger King's voice." Jianchen's voice was filled with unprecedented seriousness. The Golden-Furred Tiger King was a Class 5 Magical Beast. Magical Beasts were the same as humans. There was an insurmountable gap between Class 4 and Class 5, and it was also a divide in strength. Once they crossed this gap, they would undergo a metamorphosis. From then on, they would enter a whole new world. The strength of a Class 5 Magical Beast and a Class 4 Magical Beast were two completely different worlds. With Jian Chen's current strength, he couldn't even deal with a Class 4 Magical Beast, let alone a Class 5 Magical Beast that had entered a whole new world.
"Not good, that's the Golden Fur Tiger King's voice. Quickly, quickly, everyone leave this place, otherwise we will all lose our lives." Captain Klos of the Zhou Mercenary Group cried out in alarm. His voice was trembling, but before he could finish his words, he carried the Golden Fur Tiger King's cub and ran out of the forest as fast as he could. Behind him, the other members of the Zhou Mercenary Group who were fighting with the Raging Flame Mercenary Group also abandoned their opponents and ran out of the forest with Klos.
However, just as Klos was running a few steps with the cub, Jianchen's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. The silvery white Light Wind Sword turned into a blur as it pierced towards Klos throat like lightning. In this dangerous moment, Jianchen didn't plan on letting him go.
Klos' expression slightly changed, and he immediately brandished his greatsword to clash with Jianchen's Light Wind Sword. At the same time, he angrily cursed, "You madman, now that the fifth rank Golden Fur Tiger King is coming, you actually dare to stop me? If you don't run now, it'll be too late for you."
Jianchen was indifferent, as if he didn't hear Klos' words at all. The Light Wind Sword turned into a silvery white light as it continued to pierce towards Klos.
Klos raised his sword to block, and after a few rounds, Jianchen's sword pierced through Klos' left shoulder. At the same time, Jianchen's left hand reached out to grab the cub that was in Klos' arms.
Klos endured the pain from his left shoulder and immediately retreated, dodging Jianchen's hand that was about to grab the cub. At the same time, he shouted, "Everyone attack together and stop him! This cub is too important to our Zhou Mercenary Group, we can't lose it!"
Hearing this, the Zhou Mercenary Group's mercenaries had a trace of hesitation in their eyes. However, there were still a few that didn't disobey Klos' orders. Five of them immediately rushed out with their Holy Weapons and launched a fierce attack on Jianchen, firmly holding him back. Klos quickly rushed out of the forest with the cub. There were still a few mercenaries that didn't want to wait for their deaths, so they followed behind Klos and escaped into the forest.
These Great Saint level mercenaries naturally couldn't pose any threat to Jianchen. By the time Jianchen finished off the five mercenaries, Klos had already led the rest of the mercenaries away.
"Roar!"
The tiger's roar in the distance grew closer and closer. The Class 5 Golden Haired Tiger King was rapidly approaching. A trace of anxiety also appeared in Jianchen's eyes. He quickly arrived in front of Captain Kendall and said, "The Golden Haired Tiger King is rapidly approaching. It'll reach our current location soon. Captain Kendall, we can't stay here for long. We need to leave quickly."
Captain Kendall and the other members of the Flame Mercenary Group were currently bathed in blood and covered in countless wounds of various sizes. Fortunately, the battle hadn't lasted for long. Otherwise, the Flame Mercenary Group would've suffered some losses.
"Everyone, quickly leave this place."
There was no time to treat the wounds on their bodies that were still bleeding. Everyone immediately ran as fast as they could towards the outskirts of the forest. However, due to everyone's injuries, their speed wasn't very fast.
"Roar!"
Another angry roar was heard. This time, the roar was even closer. Everyone could faintly hear the sound of the Golden Haired Tiger King running at high speed in the forest. The wind pressure it brought along was so strong that it made the leaves around it rustle with a "Hua Hua Hua" sound.
Everyone in the Flame Mercenary Group paled. Captain Kendall quickly ran as he looked behind him. He immediately took off his Space Belt and stuffed it into Jianchen's hands. He said, "Jianchen, you're the strongest among us. Only you have the greatest chance of escaping. I'll give this Space Belt to you right now. You have to successfully escape with it."
Looking at the Space Belt that Captain Kendall had forcefully stuffed into his hands, Jianchen was just about to refuse when Captain Kendall spoke again, "Jianchen, don't refuse. If we can't leave this forest alive, then we'll have to trouble you to take care of our families. If we all die here, then their lives will become incomparably difficult. My parents, my wife, and one of my children. Whether or not they can live a good life in the future will all depend on you." Captain Kendall's tone actually carried a few traces of pleading.
Looking at Captain Kendall with a complicated gaze, Jianchen nodded with a heavy expression. He took the Space Belt from Captain Kendall and tightly grasped it. He comforted, "Uncle Kendall, we'll definitely be able to escape. That Golden Haired Tiger King's target might not necessarily be us."
"Ah, save me!"
Suddenly, a cry for help rang out from behind.
"Kabudus, it's Kabudus. He fell into the swamp. Quick, Kabudus, grab my hand … …" The one who spoke was Xiao Dao. His voice was filled with anxiety.
Hearing this, everyone immediately stopped. Jianchen flashed and arrived in front of Xiao Dao who was at the back of the group. He saw Xiao Dao lying on the ground in pain. His right arm was completely extended into the swamp beside him. Kabudus' figure had already disappeared from the group.
Jianchen's expression slightly changed. He immediately laid on the ground and his right hand followed Xiao Dao's position and inserted it into the swamp. However, he only managed to grab Xiao Dao's empty hand that was placed in the swamp.
"Kabudus … …" Xiao Dao painfully closed his eyes. His voice was filled with sorrow.
"Sigh … …" Jianchen inwardly sighed. He immediately slung Xiao Dao over his shoulder and shouted, "Let's go." Saying so, he took the lead and ran forward.
The other members of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group also inwardly sighed. Their eyes flashed with grief. They didn't hesitate in the slightest and once again ran towards the outskirts of the forest. At this moment, every bit of time they wasted was a little less hope of escaping.
Because it was night, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was very dark. The visibility was very low, and even the road couldn't be seen. Along the way, everyone tripped and fell quite a few times. However, as soon as they fell, they would immediately get up and run again. While running, they would do their best to step on the roots of the trees to prevent themselves from falling into the swamp.
Not long after they started running, Jianchen who was leading the way suddenly stopped.
"Jianchen, why did you stop? Hurry up and run." Behind him, Captain Kendall anxiously said.
Jianchen didn't say anything and only pointed forward. Seeing this, Captain Kendall raised his head and looked over. In the dark night, he could vaguely make out a dozen or so figures stopping in front of them. Their figures appeared to be in a sorry state, and all of them were panting heavily.
"It's the Zhou Mercenary Group." Jianchen said.
Hearing this, a stern look flashed through Captain Kendall's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "It's them. Why aren't they running? What are they standing there for?"
"We can't escape. The path ahead has been blocked by a Class 4 Magical Beast. Why would a Class 4 Magical Beast appear here? Come, follow me. We'll go around from the side." Saying so, Jianchen immediately dove into the forest to the side.
"Roar!"
Another tiger's roar came from behind. This time, the sound was even closer. The roar was so loud that it temporarily blinded everyone in the Inferno Mercenary Group. After the roar passed, they saw a huge black shadow shooting out from behind at an extremely fast speed, pouncing towards the Zhou Mercenary Group in front.
Soon after, they heard a series of miserable cries. In just a short exchange, several members of the Zhou Mercenary Group had fallen to the ground. There was even one person who was bitten by the huge black shadow and lifted high into the air.
"Not good, the Golden Tiger King's speed is too fast. It actually rushed over here so quickly. Let's go quickly, or else we won't have another chance." Looking at the black shadow, Jianchen instantly guessed the movement technique of the black shadow from its body shape. He immediately cried out in alarm. Soon after, Jianchen didn't hesitate and immediately dove into the dense forest to the side.
Up ahead, the dozen or so people of the Zhou Mercenary Group only lasted for less than a breath of time before dying one by one at the hands of the Golden Tiger King. Only Klaus, who was holding the cub of the Golden Tiger King, luckily managed to survive.
Against a genuine Class 5 Golden Tiger King, these mercenaries who were only Great Saints were naturally unable to withstand a single blow.
Klaus held the tiger king's right hand with his left hand while his right hand held a huge sword to the cub's throat. He was in a deadlock with the Golden Tiger King.
The Golden Tiger King's body was four meters long and as tall as a person. Only a pitch-black shadow could be seen in the night, and it was impossible to see its full appearance.
"Roar!" The Golden Tiger King let out a low roar. Its eyes had already become scarlet red as it stared at Klaus with an ominous glint in its eyes. It clearly didn't dare to act rashly in consideration of the child in Klaus' hands. Having reached Class 5, it already possessed a certain level of intelligence.
"Back off, back off, immediately back off, or I'll kill it with a single strike." Klaus stared at the Golden Tiger King in front of him in fear. His entire body trembled as he roared out.
"Ao Ao! Ao Ao! " The cub of the Golden Tiger King uneasily struggled in Klaus' hands. It clearly felt a little scared. Although it was a Class 5 Xiantian Magical Beast, it was still young and didn't possess the slightest bit of ability.
Seeing that the Golden Tiger King was still unmoved, Klaus gritted his teeth and suddenly pressed the huge sword in his right hand down a little. Immediately, a few strands of golden fur slowly floated down.
"Roar!" The Golden Tiger King let out a low roar and its huge body immediately retreated slowly. However, the scarlet red ominous glint in its eyes became even more intense.
