Seventh-Tier Spirit Beast, the Thorn Behemoth

The team from Desolate Wind City numbered nearly a hundred.

Apart from Wei Heng and the old man, they were all martial artists at the Spirit Martial Realm.

Dealing with this third-tier spirit beast Black-Armored Mole, is naturally not difficult.

However, once the quantity exceeds a certain limit...

This turned into an extremely difficult battle.

The Black-Armored Mole seemed to have gone mad, charging fearlessly towards the group.

Several of the carriages were laden with generous gifts, intended as offerings to the Grey Wolf Tribe, which they dared not take lightly.

This concerns the entire Desolate Wind City.

The group surrounded the carriage laden with gifts, using it as a center to fend off the onslaught of the Black-Armored Mole on the outside.

As for Wei Heng, he kept slashing down with his longsword, each swing taking the life of a Black-Armored Mole.

His cultivation level was, after all, the Earth Martial Realm First Heaven.

Its strength far surpasses that of these third-tier spirit beasts.

Therefore, killing them is a piece of cake.

But it's extremely difficult for ordinary Spirit Martial Realm warriors.

The challenge isn't dealing with just one.

Instead, they have to deal with several, dozens, or even hundreds at the same time.

Just as the swords and blades pierced the defenses of one Black-Armored Mole, another would suddenly leap out from the other side and tear at their bodies.

Before long, many martial artists had numerous wounds on their bodies.

Bai Qingluo, watching from the carriage frame, felt a pang of pity. Just then, a plump, Black-Armored Mole somehow broke through the warriors' defenses.

It actually rushed up to the vicinity of her car frame.

He pounced, intending to bite Bai Qingluo's beautiful face.

She wasn't good at cultivation, but rather at governing cities; her cultivation level was only at the Middle Stage of the Human Martial Realm.

With her strength, she had no way to withstand the attack of this third-tier spirit beast.

A sudden sneak attack.

Panic flashed across Bai Qingluo's face instantly. The Black-Armored Mole was so fast that it gave her no chance to react.

It will arrive in an instant.

"Princess!"

The surrounding martial artists were too late to come to their aid.

They could only watch helplessly as the dark figure attacked the princess.

At this critical moment...

A bolt of lightning struck.

It struck the Black-Armored Mole in an instant.

When everyone looked again, they found that the Black-Armored Mole was completely charred black.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

And then...

It exploded with a loud bang.

Bai Qingluo's chest rose and fell slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Ning was standing guard to the side.

She knew.

The person who just saved her was none other than Young Master Chen.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Chen, for saving me. I am deeply grateful."

Bai Qingluo bowed respectfully, while Chen Ning smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Now that I've joined your team, it's only right that I lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingluo stopped being coy and said, "Young Master Chen, this rat swarm is fierce. Do you think our team should fight and retreat?"

She is usually the decision-maker.

But today, in front of Chen Ning, she surprisingly sought other people's opinions.

"Princess Bai, there's no need to worry. This rat swarm is a minor matter and will be eradicated soon."

Chen Ning looked towards Ling Xiaoxiao was engaged in a fierce battle in the distance.

Centered on Ling Xiaoxiao, the corpses of Black-Armored Mole lay in concentric circles.

Not only that.

The oldest member of the group also broke his silence.

Instead, he chanted incantations, and flames descended, burning large swarms of Black-Armored Mole.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qingluo exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! Uncle Fu has finally made a move!"

Chen Ning asked in confusion, "Isn't this Uncle Fu one of your men? Why didn't he deal with the rat swarm earlier, but waited until now to take action?"

"Young Master Chen, you may not know this, but Uncle Fu is not my subordinate. He is a powerful figure whom my father serves and obeys his orders. It is only because this mission is of great importance that my father sent Uncle Fu to accompany us. Uncle Fu will only intervene if there is any danger."

"I see." Chen Ning nodded.

At that time.

After Uncle Fu made his move.

The rat infestation has finally been brought to a stop.

The corpses of countless Black-Armored Mole were burned.

The martial artists in the group were all panting heavily, and many of them were injured.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Wei Heng approached with concern.

Bai Qingluo simply shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Tell everyone to keep going."

"Good!"

Wei Heng then looked at Chen Ning and said disdainfully, "So what if you brought some little life-saving gadgets? In the end, it's still not your own strength."

That Heavenly Lightning Talisman was clearly summoned by a talisman.

Therefore, he naturally regarded Chen Ning as a wealthy young man from another state.

Only a wealthy young man could have such a powerful bodyguard as Ling Xiaoxiao.

After speaking, he immediately returned to the front of the group.

Although they had just been attacked and needed rest, they dared not delay.

The group continued their journey without stopping.

As everyone knows, the Savage Lands is at night when it is most dangerous.

Only Chen Ning's brows furrowed in doubt.

These Black-Armored Mole charged at the column like madmen.

It doesn't look like an attack.

Instead, it's somewhat like...

Run for your life!

Bai Qingluo wanted to boost everyone's morale.

This time, they disembarked directly from the carriage.

Mount a horse.

She wore a short, azure-blue cloak over her shoulders, and a battle skirt beneath which her long, white, and straight legs were visible.

She is incredibly flexible and has a perfect figure.

She exudes a dashing and spirited aura.

"Gentlemen, we must cross this Savage Lands before nightfall."

"We swear to protect the princess with our lives!"

"We swear to protect the princess with our lives!"

Encouraged, the warriors increased their pace considerably.

And as we delve deeper...

A sense of unease lingered in everyone's hearts.

"Roar!!"

A deep roar came from above.

The voice seemed to pierce through everyone's hearts.

This caused a sense of panic among everyone.

Even Uncle Fu was at the front of the line, frowned.

He raised his hand, signaling the line to stop.

Then, his expression changed drastically, and he abandoned his warhorse.

He dodged away.

Really.

The horse was torn in two the next moment.

A terrifying beastly shadow appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its body, standing several tens of feet tall, is extremely intimidating.

To it, everyone else was nothing more than a toy.

"Oh no! It's the Thorn Behemoth!"

Uncle Fu's expression changed, and he said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Wei Heng's eyelids twitched, and he said, "The legendary Thorn Behemoth is a seventh-tier spirit beast! That's equivalent to the strength of Earth Martial Realm Peak expert!"

"Exactly, and judging by its size, it should be a Thorn Behemoth in its prime."

Bai Qingluo also felt a sense of unease, looking at the Thorn Behemoth blocking her path with a natural fear.

Chen Ning observed the giant beast before him with great interest.

It has fangs, and its bulging muscles seem to possess explosive power.

That's not all.

Its entire body is covered in a layer of thorny armor.

It appears to have extremely strong defensive capabilities.

It seems those Black-Armored Mole were hiding from this giant beast.

As the saying goes, you are what you eat, so these should be the best food for this Thorn Behemoth.

"Princess! Retreat is our only option!"

Uncle Fu shouted loudly.

This served as a reminder to Bai Qingluo.

He is the strongest person here, but he is only at the Seventh Heaven of the Earth Martial Realm.

Facing the Thorn Behemoth is certain death.

Not to mention the princess and her guards at the Spirit Martial Realm.

The next moment.

He grabbed one person and threw him directly at the Thorn Behemoth.

The giant beast didn't hesitate either; with a single claw, it tore the man in two and swallowed him whole.

"Uncle Fu! You!"

Bai Qingluo looked at Uncle Fu in disbelief.
