The low roars of demon beasts came from the forest in the distance.
"Ta, ta! Ta, ta! "
The heavy sound of running could be heard in the silent night. Judging from the weight of the footsteps, there should be humans running.
He didn't know whether warriors were hunting demon beasts or demon beasts were hunting humans. Shi Yan couldn't tell, but he didn't want to get involved. He said to Dijaran, "Hide yourself and don't meddle in other people's business. Remember the lesson of the Tush Mercenary Union."
Dijaran nodded and whispered to Mu Dieyu, "Don't make a sound and stay in the tree hole."
"Let's go and hide in a big tree with thick leaves." Shi Yan thought for a while and moved quickly. Soon, he found an old tree with thick leaves and squatted down.
As soon as he squatted down, Dijaran followed him and hid in the leaves side by side.
The two of them looked around through the gaps between the leaves, holding their breaths and concealing their auras, afraid that someone would discover something.
Not long after, five flustered mercenaries rushed over from afar with embarrassed expressions.
The five of them were more or less wounded. The leader was at the Human Realm, and the other four were at the Nascent Realm.
The five of them ran away in panic and looked back from time to time, as if there were some fierce beasts behind them.
There really was one!
As soon as the five of them appeared in ShiYan's sight, he found a Fire Demonic Python and two Ice Lizards moving quickly in the forest. Several Silver Armored Poisonous Scorpions the size of washbasins also appeared on the left side of the five people. It seemed that they were planning to outflank the five people.
The five of them had an urgent look on their faces as they continued to rush into the forest in a panic.
Shi Yan's face changed and he thought, "They are doomed."
The five of them couldn't see it, but Shi Yan could see it clearly. In front of them, there was a strong Silver Wolf that was four meters long!
The Silver Wolf had a pair of silver wings that were five to six meters long. The wings were covered with strange patterns and looked very mysterious.
Although this was the first time he had seen this silver wolf, Shi Yan had heard rumors about it. It was a "Silver Thunder Wolf", a level seven demon beast, at the top of the food chain in the Dark Forest!
As soon as he saw the Silver Thunder Wolf, Shi Yan realized that this was not a mercenary hunting a demon beast, but a demon beast hunting a human!
The bloody hunt had begun in an instant!
When the group of five rushed into the forest and saw the Silver Thunderwing Wolf that had been waiting there for a long time, the five of them immediately screamed in despair.
The Silver Lightning-Winged Wolf didn't give them a chance. With a flap of its lightning wings, loud explosions rang out around the five people. Three of the five people were blown to pieces on the spot!
The Silver Thunder Wolf stood there proudly, motionless and didn't attack again.
However, the demon beasts that had been chasing after them all rushed forward and entangled the remaining two people in an instant.
Under the joint attack of the Flaming Cloud Python and the Frost Lizard, the two people were entangled. One was poisoned to death by the Silver Armored Poisonous Scorpion, and the other was bitten to death by the Frost Lizard.
"Creak!" "Creak!"
In the silent forest, a bone-chilling sound rang out.
Apart from the Silver Thunder Wolf, the other demon beasts surrounded the bodies of the five mercenaries and chewed on their bones.
Dijaran's face was filled with horror and she didn't dare to look in that direction.
She wasn't afraid of killing people, but she was still a bit afraid of demon beasts eating people. It made her want to vomit.
Shi Yan stared at the demon beasts calmly in the leaves, calculating silently in his heart.
After the five mercenaries died, their Profound Qi would gradually dissipate. As time went by, it would eventually spread out between heaven and earth.
If he could come to that area before the Profound Qi completely disappeared, he would be able to gain some benefits from it!
However, with so many demon beasts eating the bodies, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only hope that the demon beasts would leave quickly.
"Woo …"
A human's scream came from afar. It was mournful and full of despair.
The Silver Thunderwing Wolf, which had been standing there motionlessly, suddenly let out a low growl and dashed out.
The demon beasts that were about to finish devouring the corpses of the five mercenaries immediately stopped eating when they heard the low roar of the demon beast. They hurriedly followed the demon beast, as if they were looking for other human prey.
Seeing the demon beasts scatter, Shi Yan, who was hiding in the leaves, suddenly jumped down from the tree and went towards the bloody bodies like a ghost.
Dijaran was startled and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to take a look. I'll be back in a moment. Don't leave." Without looking back, Shi Yan rushed to the area at his fastest speed. He closed his eyes and sensed the body parts on the ground.
Luckily, although he was late, there was still some Profound Qi left. Hmm, warriors of the Human Realm indeed had more Profound Qi. There was still twenty percent of the Profound Qi that hadn't dissipated yet.
Strands of Profound Qi that were hard to see with the naked eye were attracted by magnets. They all drilled into his pores and flowed into the meridians in his body …
Feeling the power contained in the Profound Qi, Shi Yan's mouth curled into a satisfied smile.
Not long after, the Profound Qi that hadn't dissipated had all flowed into Shi Yan's body.
Looking at the broken body parts and internal organs on the ground, Shi Yan frowned. Enduring the pungent smell of blood, he rummaged through the backpacks of the five corpses.
The food was stained with too much blood and maybe the venom of the "Silver Armored Poisonous Scorpion". It was definitely inedible. Crystal coins were not very useful here. Carrying too much would affect their speed. Therefore, these mercenaries didn't carry too many crystal coins in their backpacks.
After rummaging for a while, he only found some materials from the demon beasts and some healing powders.
Poor bastard.
ShiYan murmured in a low voice, and wiped his hands clean with the blood in his backpack. Then he walked in the shadow of the big tree, heading towards the ancient tree where Di Yalan was hiding.
"Howl!" "Howl!"
In the Dark Forest, there came the roars of demon beasts. Just before dawn, the demon beasts were out in all directions. They seemed to be hunting human warriors and mercenaries in the forest in an organized way.
Listening to the frightening roars, ShiYan wasn't frightened. Instead, he was delighted.
The actions of the demon beasts would definitely affect the group of people who were chasing them. Those who dared to move at night would definitely startle the demon beasts tonight. The more people there were, the more obvious the target would be. The Dark World? The people of the Mo family and the Tusk would also suffer heavy losses tonight and become the main targets of the demon beasts.
He guessed right …
That night, Mo Chaoge and the others were indeed taken special care of by the demon beasts.
Because they were in a hurry to catch Shi Yan and Mu Dieyu, they didn't rest at night after Hu Long committed suicide. They continued to search for Shi Yan and the others in the Dark Forest, which attracted the attention of the demon beasts. They didn't realize the reality until they lost five bodies and hid in the ancient tree.
"What did you do?" Dijaran frowned slightly, "Are the things on those people worth the risk? If the demon beasts came back or you were found by other demon beasts, you couldn't escape at all! "
"I am safe and sound, aren't I?"
Shi Yan climbed up the ancient tree and didn't explain what he had really obtained. He said with a sullen face, "There is something strange tonight. I don't know why, but the demon beasts suddenly went crazy and chased mercenaries and warriors in the forest everywhere. Someone might have done something that made the high-level demon beasts angry. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."
"Then what should we do?" Dijaran looked helpless, "Should we hurry?"
"Let's wait. Those demon beasts have been busy all night and probably won't appear during the day. We can set off at noon."
"Okay. “
