Rui Bing stared at the changing white lines in her field of vision. The white lines in her field of vision were changing rapidly. If she did not focus, she would not be able to grasp them. The Guardian mech was one of the best in the world, but it was also one of the hardest to control.
The golden figure moved around, moving as fast as lightning. Every attack hit its target. Mei Wu, who was watching from the side, was mesmerized.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth shook and the mountains shook. A few of the brown mammoths saw that the crack was too small, so they charged into it. These brown mammoths were about 15 to 16 meters tall. They usually moved slowly, but they were extremely strong. Most wild beasts would not dare to provoke them.
The rock that was as tough as steel cracked and fell in large pieces, kicking up a cloud of dust. The dust covered the entire entrance of the crack.
Before the dust settled, smaller wild beasts like the horned tyrannosaurus charged in. The Brown Mammoth continued to slam into the rocks at the mouth of the crevice, and the rumbling sounds never stopped.
The crack widened bit by bit under the fearless charge of the brown mammoths. Every time the crack widened, the wild beasts that had been waiting outside would swarm in.
Rui Bing and Sang Kan felt the pressure increase. They had to slowly retreat deeper into the crack. There were too many wild beasts. They could not kill them all. Sang Kan was starting to feel weak.
Sang Kan looked like he was covered in blood. His hair was dripping. His clothes were soaked in the blood of the wild beasts. His face and hands were covered in it. He looked like he had just been fished out of a pool of blood. The ivory white wooden spear was crimson from tip to tip. If not for the threads, the spear would be too slippery to hold.
Looking down from above the crack, Rui Bing and Sang Kan were like two reefs, forcibly blocking the incoming beast tide.
"What did you do?" Sang Kan screamed at Mei Wu. He had only seen such wild beasts during the last Beast Stampede. But that was the natural order of things. Now, the wild beasts were clearly targeting this damned woman!
Even if he killed the cub of the king of the wild beasts, he wouldn't attract so many wild beasts. Besides, these wild beasts were not of the same species. This damned woman must have done something!
A strand of killing intent suddenly arose in Sang Kan's heart. If this were to continue, then the old man, Rui Bing, and he himself would probably lose their lives here. Mistress Rui Bing did not speak. She was kind-hearted. But how could he let Madam Rui Bing and the old man die here together?
Every Sang Tribe disciple had the duty to protect the little teacher's wife. None of the Sang Tribe members mentioned this, but Sang Kan knew that every Sang Tribe member would stand up for them without hesitation in the face of such a situation. If there was anyone who could make the Sang Tribe sacrifice their lives, it would be the young master and his family!
This was not a promise, but a belief, a very simple belief.
Just as Sang Kan was wondering if he should kill this damned woman and throw her out of the crack, Mei Wu suddenly screamed, "I remember! I remember!"
She hurriedly took off the backpack on her back, and with a crash, poured out all the things in the backpack. All sorts of things were scattered on the ground.
"When I was drinking by the river, I found a few beasts fighting over this. I took it, and attracted a large group of beasts. I don't know if it's the cause … "
Mei Wu held up something about the size of a pinky finger. It was shaped like a water droplet, and had a soft, gelatinous feel to it.
Rui Bing took a glance and gasped, "It's a teardrop mineralite!" She had once guarded Ye Chong's bag for him. She had seen everything in Ye Chong's bag, and knew what it was.
"Mistress, what's a teardrop mineralite?" Sang Kan asked quickly.
"I don't know, but I've seen it in his bag before …" Rui Bing said hurriedly. As she spoke, the pressure on her hands increased, and she had to look away.
Sang Kan perked up. "Is it the young master's bag?"
Rui Bing nodded, but her hands moved faster. The beast horde was exerting more pressure on them. Rui Bing could even feel her stamina draining away.
This time, Sang Kan was in a dilemma. Needless to say, anything that the young teacher had taken a liking to was naturally something good.
However, the beast horde did not give them time to think. When they saw the teardrop mineralite in Mei Wu's hands, they became restless. Their eyes were filled with greed and desire. There was a brief moment of silence in the relentless assault.
Boom!
After the brief moment of silence, an even fiercer wave of attacks came!
They advanced wave after wave, fearless of death, as if they had gone mad! All the beasts, big and small, went berserk! The Brown Mammoth desperately hit the rocks at the entrance of the crack, completely ignoring the flesh on its forehead that had already been cut open. The beasts that had already entered the crack charged forward, while the beasts at the back tried to step on their companions in front of them. At the frontline, the beasts fighting Sang Kan and Rui Bing were roaring, their eyes bloodshot. They had lost all rationality.
The entire valley was in chaos.
"Woman! Put away the teardrop mineralite! "Sang Kan could not take it anymore. The beasts stimulated by the teardrop mineralite were taking a toll on him.
"Should we throw it out?" Mei Wu asked quickly.
This was the best way. Once they got rid of this menace, they could imagine what would happen next. An unprecedented battle between the beasts would begin. That way, they would be safe.
Just as Sang Kan was about to say something, something happened.
Roar!
A few deep roars came from afar, and the wild beasts suddenly quietened down. Following that, it was as if their nests had exploded, and they were all in a panic. The beasts that were fighting Sang Kan and Rui Bing suddenly turned and ran. The beasts that were crammed in the crack retreated like the tide. The wild beasts ran in all directions as if they were frightened, and many of them were trampled into meat paste in the process of retreating.
Rui Bing and Sang Kan's expressions changed.
That low growl had left a deep impression on them! On the first day they entered the mountains, they saw a soul-stirring battle between two black panthers, and this roar was exactly the same as the roar of the two black panthers.
"Snowshade leopards!" Mei Wu's face turned pale. There was no trace of blood on her face. Her eyes were filled with despair.
The beasts panicked and scattered in all directions. In an instant, the originally crowded valley suddenly became empty.
The four snowshade leopards walked gracefully and calmly. The tuft of white fur on their foreheads exuded a noble aura. They raised their heads and looked at the other beasts that were scurrying away in disdain. Their eyes flashed with the spirit of looking down on the world.
The beasts were clearly afraid of the four snowshade leopards. They ran away in panic.
Squeak!
Sharp and ear-piercing screeches resounded in the sky as twelve golden-colored Winged Dragons suddenly swooped down. These dragons looked similar to the black, gold-striped dragons he had seen before, except that they were completely golden. Their skin glowed with a metallic luster. Their beaks and claws were longer and sharper. They were translucent.
"Gold Bird!" Mei Wu mumbled in a daze. Her face was pale. What was this teardrop mineralite? How could it attract so many strong creatures?
Rui Bing and Sang Kan were much better off. They had never seen or heard of the Gold Dragons before, so they did not know how strong they were. More importantly, the crack was narrow and deep. When they looked up, they could only see a sliver of sky. The crack was so narrow that flying beasts, which were almost 10 meters long, could not possibly fly in. They only had to deal with the four snowshade leopards.
However, they did not want to get lucky. The four snowshade leopards were more than enough to deal with. Their speed was as fast as lightning, their strength was great, and they were full of intelligence. Back in the mountains, they avoided these creatures carefully because they were strong. It was best not to provoke them. They did not expect to encounter such terrifying creatures here.
"What do we do now?" Aried asked in fear, "Should we throw the teardrop mineralite out?" Sang Kan was thinking the same thing. If they threw the mineralite to the four leopards, would it cause a fight between the snowshade leopards and the Gold Dragons? That would give them a chance to escape. This was the best outcome. No matter how valuable the teardrop mineralite was, it was not as valuable as their lives.
Sang Kan no longer considered keeping the teardrop mineralite. If he had not seen the four snowshade leopards, he would have considered it. However, with the appearance of the four leopards, he knew that it was impossible to keep the teardrop mineralite. They were not strong enough to deal with the four snowshade leopards. The strength of these creatures had left a deep impression on him.
Another shrill howl!
The four of them felt as if their eardrums were being hammered. Aried screamed in pain, covering his ears and rolling on the ground. Mei Wu looked pale as well. She covered her ears and looked like she was in pain. Sang Kan's face was filled with shock.
A red-tailed beast! A red-tailed beast with six fingers! It floated in the air, its diamond-shaped head covered in a thick carapace. Its narrow, dark red eyes were cold and devoid of warmth. Its dark red arrowhead tail trailed behind it like the head of a snake.
Sang Kan calmed down when he saw the red-tailed beast. He knew that he could not throw the teardrop mineralite away no matter what. They were not familiar with the snowshade leopards, but they knew the red-tailed beasts like the back of their hands.
The six-fingered red-tailed beast was strong. Even their young sir, who used to drive Han Jia, could only barely win against it. He did not think they had any chance of winning. Even so, he would not throw the teardrop mineralite away. The red-tailed beasts were only interested in two things. One was rare metals, and the other was energy. Sang Kan and Rui Bing now understood why so many beasts were attacking Mei Wu.
Energy. The beasts here needed energy to evolve.
If the six-fingered red-tailed beast completed its evolution, they would not stand a chance. Could these beasts all evolve? Why else would they be interested in the teardrop mineralite?
Sang Kan and Rui Bing were still confused. The red-tailed beasts they had encountered earlier were all two-fingered or three-fingered, very weak. Where did this six-fingered one come from? They had only encountered a six-fingered red-tailed beast on Planet Yi Ju. Their young sir had dealt with it.
But they had no time to think about this. Sang Kan made a decision and shouted, "Let's go back." Rui Bing and Sang Kan led the other two into the depths of the fissure.
The deeper they went, the narrower the fissure became. All they could do now was to hold their ground. Their current position could only allow one person to pass through at a time. Mei Wu and Aried were almost stuck in the narrow fissure.
Just as they steadied themselves, Rui Bing noticed a signal requesting a connection. She paused. Why would there be a signal here? She accepted the connection without thinking.
"Be careful!" Sang Kan warned Rui Bing from behind.
The situation suddenly changed. Four snowshade leopards were closest to Rui Bing. One of them suddenly turned and charged into the fissure. The other three guarded the fissure, eyeing the red-tailed beast and the Gold Dragons hovering in the air.
The red-tailed beast and the Gold Dragons did not move. They were too large to enter the fissure. They could only watch as the snowshade leopard entered the fissure.
The three snowshade leopards that were guarding outside squatted down. Their eyes were alert and they were ready to strike. The red-tailed beast and the Gold Dragons were clearly wary of the snowshade leopards. They did not attack.
"Who are you?" The communicator that she had just connected transmitted a voice that had flashed in her mind countless times over the course of countless days and nights.
Rui Bing froze. She felt as if she was struck by lightning!
"Be careful!" Sang Kan, who had been watching Madam Rui Bing, was shocked. He did not understand why Madam Rui Bing would suddenly stop. It was an emergency. He leaped into the air and thrust his wooden spear forward.
In such a narrow space, the snowshade leopard charged at them like a mech. It was an intimidating sight. Sang Kan was shocked as well. However, his eyes flashed with determination. He exerted all his strength and thrust his wooden spear through the air.
Crack! The snowshade leopard's front paw hit the tip of the wooden spear accurately. Sang Kan's wooden spear could not withstand the force and broke in half.
Sang Kan flew backward like a sandbag. He lost control of his body and slammed into the walls on both sides. Blood splattered on the walls. It was a ghastly sight.
The broken tip of the spear was stained with blood.
The snowshade leopard did not expect to be injured. It growled angrily and the black fur on its body stood on end.
Its intercontinental missile did not hesitate at all. It soared into the air and pounced behind Rui Bing like a bolt of lightning. Its target was Sang Kan, whose life and death were unknown.
The crisp sound of the Sang Kan wooden spear breaking pulled Rui Bing's wandering attention back. Her tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. However, she had no time to speak now. She had to save Sang Kan! Rui Bing leaped up and pounced towards the snowshade leopard!
"Who are you?" Ye Chong asked a second time, but there was no response. However, the warning to be careful and the sounds of intense fighting reached Ye Chong's ears. He could also hear the other party's heavy breathing.
Ye Chong gestured for silence. Everyone in the comms room shut their mouths.
In the silent communication room, there was not the slightest bit of noise. There was only the sound of intense collisions and the sound of breathing that alternated between light and heavy.
Ye Chong closed his eyes and listened.
The breathing was familiar …
Where had he heard it before?
Ye Chong focused on the rhythm of the breathing, and the familiar nasal sound. The rhythm of a person's breathing was similar to the person's footsteps. They seemed similar, but there were subtle differences.
Why did he feel so familiar …
He searched desperately in his mind, and the sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger, but it was as if he was only a piece of paper away from breaking through. Ye Chong felt a rare sense of anxiety in his heart.
He tried his best to calm himself down.
Wait a minute. Other than the breathing, there was another sound - the clashing of weapons! Ye Chong closed his eyes and listened carefully to the rhythm of the clashing of weapons.
It should be a dagger … This must be a slash … a stab … a swipe …
The image was outlined in his mind bit by bit, becoming clearer and clearer, and a figure gradually appeared in front of him.
He opened his eyes abruptly.
"Rui Bing, hang in there!" Ye Chong's shout came through the comms, striking Rui Bing's heart.
At this moment, tears streamed down Rui Bing's cheeks!
Ye Chong turned around. The students in the comms room had never seen their leader like this.
