Hearing the Wind attribute Heavenly Master's words, everyone's body trembled. They immediately leaped and hid in the dense foliage.
The twenty Heavenly Masters spread out. Lu An's orders were to protect Liu Lan, so he naturally would not be separated from her. He hid in the same tree as Liu Lan.
The two of them stood on a thick branch. As there were many leaves, the two of them could only squeeze together. Lu An was using the Scorching Sun Nine Suns to observe the surrounding situation. Liu Lan, who was close to him, blushed and lowered her head.
They appeared!
Lu An frowned. The exotic beasts mentioned by the Wind attribute Heavenly Master had already entered his range of perception. There were a total of four Rank Four exotic beasts and a dozen Rank Three exotic beasts. The exotic beasts were heading in their direction. They were destined to pass by here.
The Wind attribute Heavenly Master's perception was stronger than the other attributes. Using the convenience of the wind, the Wind attribute Heavenly Master quickly noticed this and whispered to the others, "They're coming this way. Be careful!"
The others felt a chill in their hearts. They all held their breaths and hid their aura to prevent the exotic beasts from discovering them.
"Rumble …"
"Rumble …"
Soon, a huge tremor came from afar. Even the big tree that everyone was hiding in trembled with the sound. A moment later, a few gigantic exotic beasts appeared in front of everyone.
It was a group of apes.
This was a group of black apes. Walking at the front were four tall black apes. They were about sixty feet tall. Behind them were obviously shorter black apes. They were about thirty feet tall. However, even thirty feet was far taller than humans.
In fact, if humans were to compare with exotic beasts of the same level, they would not have any advantage in terms of physical strength. Whether it was strength, vitality, or other aspects, they were inferior to exotic beasts. However, humans were strong in their ability to learn. The endless stream of Heavenly Techniques was what humans relied on the most.
Soon, the group of apes arrived at the foot of where everyone was hiding. Looking at the huge footprints left on the grass, the violent tremors caused the big tree to shake non-stop. It was very difficult to even stand still.
Because of the lush foliage, the space for people to stand was even smaller. Lu An inserted his hand into the branch under his feet. At this moment, Liu Lan's body swayed. She lost her balance and was about to fall!
Lu An was shocked. He quickly reached out to grab Liu Lan's hand.
Slap.
Lu An's hand accurately caught Liu Lan's hand, preventing Liu Lan from falling. Seeing this, Lu An secretly heaved a sigh of relief and tried to pull Liu Lan up.
But at this moment, a furious roar resounded through the forest!
"Roar!"
The deafening roar caused the surrounding ground to crack open inch by inch. The close-range roar caused Lu An to feel a tightness in his chest. His vision turned black, and he nearly fell down as well!
Nonetheless, Lu An's mental power had long surpassed his own boundary under the cultivation of the person in the black fog, thus he immediately woke up. However, Liu Lan, who was in his hand, was not so lucky. She was knocked unconscious by the sudden roar.
Lu An's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He immediately pulled Liu Lan up and placed her on the branch. At this time, Liu Lan had completely fainted. Lu An reached out and checked her pulse. He was relieved when he found that Liu Lan did not have any serious internal injuries.
However, although Liu Lan was protected by Lu An, the other Level Three Heavenly Masters were not so lucky. Although their strength was higher than Liu Lan's and they were all at the peak of Level Three, they still could not withstand the roar of a Level Four Strange Beast and fell from the tree. Some fainted, some did not, but their minds were not clear.
Lu An frowned. Actually, the black ape did not discover the humans because of Liu Lan. His Scorching Sun Nine Suns could sense that a Level Three Heavenly Master had exposed his position. The others were purely victims.
But no matter what, this battle was unavoidable. Four Level Four Strange Beasts could be dealt with by Level Four Heavenly Masters alone. What Lu An needed to do was to protect Liu Lan.
As expected, the Level Four Heavenly Masters appeared together. The roar just now did not have much effect on them. A Level 4 Heavenly Master quickly gathered the Stage 3 Heavenly Masters together, and then attacked the black ape one after another.
In an instant, the flames of war engulfed the surrounding area. Just the aftermath of the battle could kill a Level Three Heavenly Master, so Lu An kept running out of the circle with Liu Lan. However, he had only run out for less than a mile when he frowned.
That was because he realized that there were two black apes chasing after him. It was obvious that these two black apes had discovered him. Fortunately, these two black apes were ordinary Level Three Strange Beasts.
Lu An did not stop immediately. Instead, he ran for three miles before stopping. He stood on the ground and looked at the two black apes that were chasing after him. A trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
He placed Liu Lan on the ground. Following that, two ice daggers appeared in his hands. He took the initiative to meet the two black apes.
The reason why Lu An ran so far away was firstly for safety, and secondly to ensure that he would not be discovered by others when using the daggers. Right now, he was not prepared to hold back. Instead, he wanted to end the battle quickly.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
The two black apes rushed over, and Lu An also rushed towards the black apes. Both sides were extremely fast, and in an instant, they met each other!
"Whiz!"
Lu An leaped high into the air, reaching the same height as the black apes. Seeing this, the two black apes swung their fists at Lu An who was in the air!
Although he could not turn around in the air, Lu An could borrow the power of Immortal Qi. Two streams of Immortal Qi quickly wrapped around the arms of the black apes. With a pull, Lu An forcefully changed his direction in the air.
At the same time, the two black apes were not very strong. At most, they were equivalent to a mid-level Level Three Heavenly Master. Even with Lu An's Immortal Qi, they could not break free. Lu An grabbed their arms and pulled them forcefully. Unexpectedly, their fists were thrown at each other!
"Bang!"
At the same time, a huge wave of air surged. At the same time, the two black apes let out a wail. The taste of fists colliding was not good.
However, this was not the end. After the two black apes collided, their arms felt intense pain and became weak. Their muscles were no longer hard. Lu An seized the opportunity. His eyes turned cold, and he immediately threw out his daggers!
"Roar! Roar!"
A blood-curdling scream that was even more tragic than before rang out. The two black apes' arms were actually forcefully chopped off by Lu An's dagger!
Intense pain engulfed the black apes' minds, but this was also the last roar they could let out. In the next moment, two daggers flew out and sank into the heads of the two black apes.
Rumble …
The screams stopped abruptly. The two black apes fell to the ground with a loud bang, causing a huge tremor.
After doing all this, Lu An landed on the ground from the air and panted slightly. He did not take the crystal core, because it would take a lot of effort to cut open the black ape's corpse. He turned around and ran towards Liu Lan. He found that Liu Lan's face was even paler because of the shock just now. He hurriedly gave her a Yang Returning Pill.
The battle in the distance was still ongoing. Lu An did not go back to help. His mission was to protect Liu Lan. Moreover, the four Stage Four strange beasts were obviously not a match for the six Stage Four Heavenly Masters.
However, the battle continued for a long time. When the sound stopped, it was already nearly a quarter of an hour later. Lu An brought Liu Lan back to the battlefield and discovered that the six Stage Four Heavenly Masters had already gathered together, and the surroundings were filled with the corpses of the black apes.
The expressions of the six Stage Four Heavenly Masters were obviously not too good. It was likely that the consumption just now was also huge for them. The six of them all consumed pills to replenish themselves. When they saw Lu An bringing Liu Lan back, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"How is Eldest Miss?" The Heavenly Master in charge walked over and asked.
"I just fainted. I've already taken the pill." Lu An said. "I should wake up soon."
The Heavenly Master in charge nodded slightly and said, "Let's find a safe place to rest for a while. We'll move forward after the six of us have recovered our strength."
"Yes." Lu An nodded.
