What's wrong with that?
"Roar."
The impassioned lion's roar tore through the psychological defenses of the beasts. Quite a few Soul Beasts coveting the spiritual energy on the humans fled in unison.
Viewed from the sky, clusters of fiery light converged together. This was the prelude to the lion pack sounding its horn of attack.
Wherever they passed, dense blackened claw marks were left behind. Scorching waves rolled out from their flame-like crimson manes, and the nearby grass blades curled up in an instant.
Flame Lions, also known as Flame Demon Lions, were nearly invincible within the Beginner Spirit Ascension Platform, aside from guardian Soul Beasts. Due to their habits, they often lived in groups, with every pack led by a male more than a thousand years old.
As the earth trembled beneath them, five figures sped through the dense forest.
"Xie Xie, how much farther?" Although Tang Wulin did not look back, he could sense the footsteps drawing closer and closer. If not for the dense vegetation around them, they might already have been caught in an open area.
"Right ahead." Xie Xie was more than ten meters ahead of the others. After leaping past an ancient tree, he successfully spotted a small river.
"Gu Yue, can you still keep going?" Tang Wulin looked toward Gu Yue on the left side of the group, whose speed had clearly slowed.
"Don't worry about me." Gu Yue answered calmly. At worst, she could activate the Rescue Signal Device.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Xie Xie, who was moving by hopping between branches, let out a startled cry.
Before the others could react, they saw an enormous Beast Shadow that had somehow ambushed them ahead, blocking their path.
It was a gigantic beast over three meters tall, its robust body like an unbreakable wall.
