The trembling of the ground was getting more and more intense, but they still couldn't see what was causing the commotion.
Everyone in the Brotherhood mercenary group began to tense up. Their faces were extremely serious as they stared in front of them. It was rare to see such a strong commotion from so far away. At this moment, they all realized that if there really was a magic beast in front of them like Jianchen said, then it must be very powerful.
"Everyone be careful. If we can't fight it, then we should all scatter and run." Hedoff said with a heavy tone.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe walked up from behind Hedoff. He worriedly asked, "Captain Hedoff, what happened? I just heard that a magic beast was heading towards us. Could it be true?"
"Mr. Harry, you should back off first. We don't have a clear picture of the situation yet, but from the commotion in front of us, if it's not a large group of cavalry, then it's very likely to be a large magic beast, and more than one." Although Hedoff's tone was calm, everyone could hear the seriousness in his voice.
"Then can we protect these goods?" The middle-aged man asked again.
"It's very difficult!" Hedoff shook his head and said, "Mr. Harry, you should prepare to run for your life. If it's just a large group of cavalry, then it's fine. But if it's a magic beast … Mr. Harry, you know the consequences."
"Ai …" Hearing Hedoff's words, the middle-aged man let out a heavy sigh. These goods were all his, and he was the one who hired the Brotherhood mercenary group to escort them to Wake City. If they couldn't protect these goods, then the losses would be irreparable. This was because the funds for these goods were almost all of his savings from doing business over the years.
Jianchen sat cross-legged in the carriage filled with goods. His eyes were also fixed in front of him, but compared to the others, he was much calmer. His expression was calm, and there wasn't a trace of panic in his eyes.
At this moment, a small grey dot finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This little grey dot wasn't running very fast, but every step it took caused the surrounding ground to tremble slightly. This tremor continued to spread to a radius of several kilometers.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the culprit that caused the ground to tremble. It really was a magic beast.
The faces of the group of mercenaries couldn't help but become a little pale. If this was caused by humans, then it would be fine. At most, they would just have to make way or bribe them with some money. But if they encountered a magical beast, then other than fighting or running away, there was no other choice.
In front of him was a humanoid magical beast that looked like a gorilla. It was ten meters tall and had brown fur all over its body. It stood up like a human and ran forward step by step, mimicking the steps of a human.
"That … That's actually a War Beast …"
Looking at the magic beast in front of him, Herdoff's face suddenly became very interesting. The serious expression between his brows also loosened a lot.
War Beasts, as the name suggests, seemed to be born for war. Not only were their bodies terrifyingly strong, but their strength was also limitless. They could directly overturn a city wall. Moreover, these magic beasts were also known as the children of the earth. They were the favored children of Mother Earth. They were born to control the earth. Depending on their strength, a single step could cause an earthquake of a few kilometers or even a hundred kilometers. If a powerful War Beast or several War Beasts were to take a step at the same time, then the earthquake could cause a city wall ten kilometers away to collapse.
Although this was the case, the War Beasts' single attack was pitifully weak, and their speed was their weakness.
Although there weren't many War Beasts in the Tianyuan Continent, they weren't rare either. Almost every powerful country had a few War Beasts as slaves.
"Captain, that's a War Beast. Its defense is very strong, but its attack is very weak. Its speed is also very slow. What should we do? Should we go all out and chase it away?" A mercenary from the Loyal Mercenary Group asked.
"No wonder it could cause such a big commotion. So it's a War Beast. Since it's a War Beast, then it'll be much easier." Herdoff's face revealed a cold smile. "Brothers, the War Beast isn't much of a threat to us. Let's go chase it away."
"Okay!"
Immediately, a group of mercenaries jumped down from their seats and charged towards the War Behemoth with Herdoff.
Jianchen sat in the carriage filled with goods. Looking at the War Beast that was only five hundred meters away from them, he quickly recalled some information about the War Beasts in his mind.
"The War Beast's strength is measured by its size. It's said that the War Beasts that have reached the sixth rank are around a hundred meters tall. The fifth rank War Beasts are around fifty meters tall, and the third rank War Beasts are around ten meters tall. Judging from this, this War Beast should be a fourth rank Magical Beast." Jianchen muttered to himself.
"The War Beast's defense is very strong. Even the Magic Crystal Cannons can't do any damage to them. Moreover, as their strength increases, their defense becomes even more terrifying. It's very difficult to kill them. It's said that even in ancient times, the Dragon Clan, who stood at the peak of the Magical Beast world, couldn't compare with the War Beasts in terms of defense. I wonder if I can break through this War Beast's defense."
"Roar!" Seeing the Loyal Mercenary Group rushing towards it like ants, the War Beast let out a loud roar towards the sky. Immediately after, it stomped heavily on the ground.
"Bang!"
Following a muffled sound, the ground within a radius of a few kilometers began to shake violently. Cracks the width of a palm quickly spread in all directions like a spider web, quickly covering the entire ground within a radius of a few kilometers.
The violent shaking of the ground caused the dozen or so carriages filled with goods to shake violently. The shaking was so strong that even Jianchen, who was sitting on top of one of the carriages, was unable to control his body. Immediately after, he flipped over and landed on the ground.
"Crunch crunch …"
The carriages continuously made sounds that sounded like they were in pain. Some of the goods piled on top of the carriages rolled to the ground one after another. Not long after, the dozen or so carriages all fell apart.
This kind of earthquake didn't have much of an effect on the Loyal Mercenary Group. Several dozen people quickly arrived at the foot of the War Behemoth. Several dozen Saint Weapons with strong Saint Force ruthlessly hacked at the War Behemoth.
However, the War Beast wasn't harmed in the slightest. Not even a single hair on the War Beast's body was cut off.
"Roar!" The War Beast let out an angry roar. It lifted one of its large feet again and ruthlessly stomped on the head of a nearby mercenary.
