The twenty men behind Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue were all terrified. They were not as knowledgeable as Han Bingxue, but after all, they had come to the Mountain of All Medicines many times, which gave them essential knowledge about survival. They were not sure about the beasts’ level, but they could tell from the sound that there were lots of beasts, at least a hundred!
According to their own experience, the beasts should all be in high levels, above level six.
A crowd of spiritual beasts that had such an overwhelming power was definitely not a bunch of Dream Origin Stage cultivators could handle.
Han Bingxue listened carefully and realized how bad it was. From the fierceness, he could feel many beasts beyond level eight. He had no idea exactly how many there were. He just knew that he was not able to handle this situation!
A few men of the Li Clan people, who were at the back of the group, still stood at the entrance. They heard the roar and got frightened, so they ran back to the second layer fast.
They got out of the door, yet those who were in the third layer couldn’t get away anymore because the door was closed.
As recorded in the history of Ye Clan, the door can only be opened two hours after it is closed.
Ye Shangxin’s voice seemed to be trembling. He was quite nervous as sweat permeated his hands.
Prepare for a fights, guys. This is not going to go easy. Be careful!
– Clang, clang… –
Sounds of weapons rang up.
People of Ye Clan stood in the shape of a triangle. Li Clan people seemed awkward. There should be ten of them, but the four of them at the back near the door fled away when they heard the sound of the beasts.
It was reasonable that they chose to save their own lives when the danger came, but their escape hurt the six men left inside the third layer.
The six of them were all pale on the faces!
Traitors! Cowards! Disobedient!
Li Chongshan scolded angrily.
There was certainly anger in his voice, but there were also fear and regret. It seemed he was regretting it so much. [Why would I get so deep into this place… Now I can’t go out no matter how much I want to.]
The beasts sounded closer and closer as a cold qi abruptly rose. It was Han Bingxue who was pouring his cold ice qi into his precious sword. His vigor greatly rose up as the spiritual qi rushed out from the sword. Apparently, he was ready to make the first move.
At this moment…
Meow?
A weak voice of a cat suddenly sounded.
It was so abrupt. Everybody was quite tense and was surprised by the meow.
[Eh? How come there is a cat in such a dangerous place?]
[A cat wants to meow, then it meows. Since it can live in this place, it must have its own way to live. But it made a sound like this when we are feeling scared and frightened?]
[Fine. It meows. However, what does that help? That voice!]
[Scaring mouses?]
However, unexpectedly, after that meow, the wild roars stopped. It stopped all of a sudden, as if the beasts that were running over all stopped at the same time.
After that…
In the dense fog, a blasting shout sounded from the sky,
Ahh… oh?
That sounded so overwhelming, as if it was the sound of the king of all animals. As the shout sounded, the fog in the entire place shook and rolled.
Ye Shangxin and his men heard the shout, and suddenly, their blood was like boiling in the veins. They couldn’t stop staggering.
They were all stunned. [What level is this beast? That was just a shout. We actually couldn’t handle it, even though we are all above level six of Dream Origin Stage?]
They all focused on how powerful the sound was but couldn’t understand what that shout meant. In that shout, there was a quiver.
It seemed the beast was asking something?
It seemed to be frightened.
That was a terrified query from a lower-position being to an upper-position one!
Meow…
The cat’s voice sounded again.
– Puff, puff, puff, puff… –
– Boom, boom, boom… –
It seemed a few beasts fell down, and then the crowd of beasts burst into panic and chaos. After a while, lots of beasts started to run.
They were running back to where they came from after turning around. They ran farther into the third layer like running for their lives.
It seemed there was something too powerful for them to resist on the direction they were running to at the beginning, as if they would die if they didn’t run away soon!
The overwhelming and fierce atmosphere that was created by the crowd of powerful spiritual beasts suddenly disappeared.
The only thing that was left in the dense fog was the smell of urine…
It seemed many of those beasts pissed because they were too scared… or maybe more than just piss…
That was excretion from back and front at the same time!
After that, the beast crowd was gone. They left faster than they came. In fact, it was times faster. Apparently, the beasts were spending their life energy to run, trying their best to get away from this place!
It was just a few seconds, yet it all returned to silence. Everything was calmed.
The danger came and left so abruptly. It was such a shocking experience. The ten Ye Clan people and the six Li Clan people all looked at each other. Apparently, none of them realized what exactly had happened.
However, from the urine smell that was left behind by the beast crowd, they started to guess… [Is it… A bunch of beasts came here… just to relieve themselves like this is their toilet?]
[Then they just left?]
[Why is it so smelly if it isn’t…]
[Why were they running so fast… Was it the smell?]
[But… isn’t this an absurd explanation?]
No matter how calm and steady Ye Shangxin used to be, he was now lost in confusion. He kept rubbing the back of his head as he said,
What… What is going on?
Nobody answered him. They all stayed in silence with their eyes widely opened.
Even Han Bingxue was stunned. He heard the voice of a cat and he knew it was Erhuo. He knew that Erhuo was an extraordinary cat, but in his heart, it was just a cat. He couldn’t connect a cat and a running beast crowd in any way. He was lost too!
The danger is gone. Let’s just move on quickly. It won’t help to just stand here.
Ye Xiao’s voice sounded lazily.
In this layer, it is incredibly wide. We don’t have a clear and good view in this place. Let’s spread out and search for the materials. I guess you have some ways to tell one medicine from another even though you can’t see… especially some special methods to distinguish the Regeneration Ink Lotus from other plants…
