"Move quickly. There is no one in the mountains at this time. Try to pick all the Red Blood Fruit in this trip. Then the brothers will be rich."

Yangping Mountain There are five or six figures in the outer area. He walked towards the mountain quickly.

The leader was a thin middle-aged man like Skinny Monkey, with an undisguised greed on his face, urging the people behind him.

"Brother, don't be so anxious. Now Town Mountain Tower has banned anyone from entering Yangping Mountain. Others can't find another path like us. Red Blood Fruit can't escape."

Someone among the people behind said with a smile.

"Ghost, you don't understand this. There must be a guarding Strange Beast next to Red Blood Fruit. If we get there earlier, we have to set up a trap in advance so that we can capture Strange Beast as well."

Having said this, the Skinny Monkey man paused for a moment before continuing.

"And now Town Mountain Tower has no time to care about him. There is almost no one in this mountain. It is a good time for our brothers to make a fortune. Although Red Blood Fruit is valuable, there are many precious medicines in Yangping Mountain. It would be great if we can find some other rare herbs."

After hearing this, several people behind him nodded in agreement. They also quickened their pace and followed the Skinny Monkey man closely.

After just walking for a while, the Skinny Monkey man stopped again and looked around, with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

"Brothers, have you noticed that there seem to be fewer wild beasts, flies, etc. in this mountain?"

Hearing this, several people behind him were also shocked.

"Brother, what you said seems to be true. We have been in the mountains for a while. Not to mention the usual jackals, tigers, and leopards, we haven't seen even half of the snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

Skinny Monkey The man frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart. After all, it was already approaching the time when the beast tide broke out. Logically speaking, there should be many more beasts in the mountains than usual. How could he not see any of them.

Even if this situation is normal, it is obviously wrong.

As if seeing the hesitation of the Skinny Monkey man, the ghost on the side immediately spoke.

"Brother, since the mountains are much calmer than before, we just take this opportunity to search."

Although several other people also realized that something was wrong with the situation, in the end the greed in their hearts still prevailed, and they all agreed.

"Okay, Agui is right. Although I don't know what's going on in this mountain, we can't go in vain this time. We need to go faster. Let's take off Red Blood Fruit and leave first."

Soon Skinny Monkey man also made a decision in his heart. He said something, quickened his steps and walked towards the mountain quickly.

Several people had great skills, and at this time, they were exerting all their strength very quickly. In a short time, they were almost at the middle area of Yangping Mountain.

"What's that in front!!?"

The Skinny Monkey man walking in the front stopped again, his pupils widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.

In the bushes only a few hundred meters away from them, there were masses of black mist rising from the bushes and spreading down the mountain.

"What the hell is this!?"

Looking at the thickening black mist in their sight, the other people's eyes widened and they couldn't help but speak.

Just when they all stared at the black mist with wide eyes...

Roar...

A strange roar suddenly sounded from the black mist.

Before they could figure out what was going on, a ferocious head poked out of the black mist.

It was a huge head covered with black scales, with a white spike remaining on the top of the head.

Dark eyes the size of lanterns were looking at them indifferently.

And this was just the beginning. Soon another huge snake head poked out from the black mist, and the same black hole-like pupils fell on the stunned Skinny Monkey people.

The last huge and terrifying Strange Beast slowly appeared from the black mist.

"This... this..."

Skinny Monkey said with his mouth wide open and trembling.

"Spirit Beast Silver-patterned Black Crocodile...Mysterious Fang Python...Black Rock Giant Bear..."

As an old hunter who often goes in and out of Yangping Town, Skinny Monkey naturally knows the terrifying Spirit Beast that once appeared in the mountain. When he saw the appearance of the giant beasts appearing in the black mist, he recognized their identities at a glance.

No, this is far more than that. There are even several terrifying Strange Beasts that he has never heard of. Judging from the powerful power exuding, it is obviously Spirit Beasts.

He didn't know what the situation was, but it was obvious that this situation was tantamount to disaster for several of them.

"Run..."

The people behind him finally reacted and ran towards the bottom of the mountain without thinking.

However, Strange Beasts were rushing out of the black mist, sweeping down the mountain like violent waves. There were Black Tiger Apes with agile bodies and black hair all over their bodies, and Tusk Mountain Boars who were huge and had fangs.

As soon as the few people ran out, they were thrown up like waves and submerged in the wave of wild beasts.

"Right here."

Black Blind Man walked quickly through Yangping Town, his nose kept twitching, and he quickly found the direction of Ouyang Yuan's breath. However, by the time he had a cup of tea, he had already arrived at the station of the Beast Hunter Hall's second team.

The iron rod in his hand was raised, and the closed door was smashed to pieces with one stroke.

There was a figure standing in the yard. He was disturbed by the loud noise and turned around. It was Ouyang Yuan.

"Ouyang Yuan? You are pretty good at hiding it."

Seeing Ouyang Yuan turning around, Black Blind Man recognized at a glance that the other person was the person he was looking for. Although he had not seen him in person, he had already remembered the other person's portrait in his mind.

"Blood Circulation Practitioner!?"

Seeing the arrival of Black Blind Man, Ouyang Yuan showed a hint of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the other party would come over so quickly.

He felt the power emanating from the person in front of him. He often felt this feeling from his father. He was definitely a genuine Blood Circulation realm warrior.

"Okay, just follow me and avoid suffering."

A faint smile appeared on Black Blind Man's face and he walked towards Ouyang Yuan.

However, there was no trace of panic on Ouyang Yuan's face, but a hint of madness.

"Suffering? Haha... I hope you can say such words again soon."

As he spoke, he took out a black egg-sized oval from his arms, which looked like the egg of some kind of beast or insect. Then he tightened his palm and crushed it directly.

The next moment, a strange roar came from the ground in the center of the courtyard.

"Huh!?"

The moment the roar sounded, Black Blind Man had stopped and narrowed his eyes.

Pfft...

Two giant sickle-like limbs emerged from the ground, followed by a ferocious Distortion, an ugly head as big as a water tank.

The head has four pairs of compound eyes, and it opens and closes with a terrifying tone, revealing the sharp white teeth.

"This is...Sound-Rending Locust!!"

The moment he saw the head, Black Blind Man recognized the identity of this thing.

"You Town Mountain Tower actually hide such a thing!!"

Black Blind Man couldn't help but speak loudly, and soon thought of something.

"It seems that the rumors are true. That old guy Ouyang Shan really ran into this thing 15 years ago."

There have been rumors in the market that Ouyang Shan ran into a Sound-Rending Locust in Yangping Mountain 15 years ago, but many people think this is just a rumor. After all, although Ouyang Shan at that time was already Blood Circulation Practitioner, it was only the early stage of Blood Circulation, and its strength was far less than it is now.

Sound-Rending Locust and this Strange Beast are genuine Spirit Beast, and they are also extremely difficult agile Strange Beast.

When encountering this kind of Spirit Beast, even ordinary Blood Circulation Practitioner can only become its food ration.

With the strength of Ouyang Shan, there is no possibility of escape when encountering this kind of Spirit Beast.

But now that Sound-Rending Locust appears in front of him, obviously this rumor is true.

And it is far more unbelievable than the rumors. The other party seems to have some way to control Sound-Rending Locust.

If it wasn't clear that Spirit Beast couldn't escape at such a speed, I'm afraid Black Blind Man would have turned around and left without hesitation.

After all, he didn't want to fight against such a difficult Spirit Beast.

At the same time, he was extremely shocked. He knew that Ouyang Shan knew some beast control skills, but he did not expect that Strange Beast could even control the terrifying Spirit Beast.

"Why are you scared? Don't worry, Sound-Rending Locust will be very satisfied with your Flesh, so you can go and die..."

At this time, Ouyang Yuan's body had retreated more than ten meters, and there was still fresh Blood Flow flowing out of his wrist. It seemed that too much blood had flowed out, making his originally healthy complexion look pale.

However, he still had no intention of bandaging the wound. He was even worried about the wound healing and instead used a dagger to enlarge the wound from time to time.

Indeed, as rumored outside, the Ouyang family has its own method of controlling beasts, but this method is not just some superficial skills, but a powerful method that can truly control Spirit Beast.

The reason why he mastered this method is because his grandfather Ouyang Hong was an abandoned disciple of Tianyang Prefecture, a sect who was good at controlling animals.

Although the method of controlling beasts he mastered was incomplete, after years of exploration, he finally found a feasible method of controlling beasts, and was even able to control Spirit Beast temporarily at a considerable cost.

This is also their trump card besides Town Mountain Tower, except Ouyang Shan.

Faced with Ouyang Yuan's cynicism, Black Blind Man did not answer, because at this time Sound-Rending Locust had climbed out of the ground and was completely exposed to his sight.

And he also found that the situation didn't seem to be as bad as he thought. Sound-Rending Locust's condition didn't look good.

One of the hind limbs on the left side was broken, and most of it was missing. Even the wings on one side were incomplete. One of the two sharp forelimbs at the front was Distortion. It was obvious that this was a Sound-Rending Locust that was injured, and it looked like the injury was not serious.

The injuries to its wings and legs will definitely have a big impact on its speed.

Sound-Rending Locust The most feared thing about Spirit Beast is its terrifying speed and flying ability. This situation now makes Black Blind Man feel reassured.

Although he didn't think he could kill Spirit Beast even if he was injured, he was confident that he could protect himself without any worries.

The initial shock dissipated, and he quickly reacted. His eyes paused on Ouyang Yuan Blood Flow's restless palm.

Black Blind Man grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth, and the iron stick in his hand fell heavily to the ground.

"Boy, what you said seems a bit premature. This cripple may not be able to keep me here. I just don't know how long you can control this thing?"

"Hmph!!"

Hearing Black Blind Man's words, Ouyang Yuan looked gloomy.

But he didn't expect that the other party would find out the clues so quickly. He really couldn't control it for too long, so he didn't plan to delay it any longer.

"It's enough to kill you!!"

After saying that, he opened his mouth like a goldfish's mouth and made a sound like a shrill meow.

As soon as the sound fell, Sound-Rending Locust immediately let out a low cry, and the next moment the figure disappeared into the yard. At the same time, Black Blind Man felt the alarm bell ringing in his heart, and without any hesitation, he swept the iron-mixed stick in his hand to the right.

A loud bang of gold and iron sounded from the yard.

Black Blind Man felt a majestic Great Strength coming from the iron rod, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. However, before he could stand firm, Sound-Rending Locust rushed forward again, raising its sickle-like forelimb to reach for his neck.

Black Blind Man reacted extremely quickly and moved the thick iron rod upwards.

However, the strong force that came from him made him retreat again.

This also made him feel angry. The short exchange had allowed him to figure out the speed of Spirit Beast. Although it was still elusive, it was still within his reaction range.

He clenched the big iron stick with both hands, concentrated all his strength on it, and faced Sound-Rending Locust, who was charging at him again, and hit him on the head with the stick.

when!

An explosion that was much louder than before sounded from the courtyard. This time he did not retreat, but the tyrannical explosion of force made the iron stick become a little bent.

Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly and immediately stopped attacking and instead defended with all his strength.

Although this Sound-Rending Locust looked seriously injured, it was still much more difficult than he imagined.

Not only was he extremely fast, he was also extremely powerful. Especially the hardness of his body made him understand that unless he hit the vital point, it would be impossible to hurt the opponent.

A man and an animal were fighting fiercely in the courtyard. Ouyang Yuan was standing not far away, looking at Black Blind Man who was forced to fight back with a happy smile on his face.

It's just that no one noticed that at some point, wisps of fine black mist appeared in the sky above Yangping Town.

These fine black mist seemed to be conscious, hovering over the town and finally falling into the town, falling into the bodies of various animals and birds in the town.

And the few wisps of fine black mist hovering over the courtyard seemed to have found their target, heading towards Sound-Rending Locust in the courtyard.

"Kill him, kill him for me..."

Ouyang Yuan's laughter kept ringing from the yard.

With another crisp sound, Black Blind Man, who was fighting in the yard, fell back more than ten meters.

But Sound-Rending Locust stopped moving and did not continue to attack. Instead, his figure kept shaking, but soon he froze in place and remained motionless, like a sculpture.

"Come on, come on me quickly!!"

Seeing this scene, Ouyang Yuan frowned, thinking that his blood was not enough, and inserted the dagger into the wound again to expand the injury, but this time, no matter how much the wound Blood Flow noted, Sound-Rending Locust did not move at all.

"Trash, trash, move it..."

Ouyang Yuan roared like crazy, and it seemed to have an effect. The sculpture-like Sound-Rending Locust finally moved.

The ugly head slowly turned around, and the original yellow compound eyes had turned into pitch black.

Before Ouyang Yuan could say anything else, Sound-Rending Locust's figure had disappeared from the spot.

Click...

The roar stopped abruptly.

Ouyang Yuan Half of his body has disappeared.
