Han Shuo, Elizabeth, Cecilia, and the others were all extremely interested in what had happened deep within Talaga Gorge. With their curiosity aroused, even Han Shuo, who normally disliked bothering with miscellaneous affairs, decided to venture deeper and investigate.
Once the decision was made, the dozen or so people immediately set off under Han Shuo's lead, hurrying deeper into Talaga Gorge.
They had traveled for only half an hour when a herd of five or six hundred magical beasts of various species, led by several fierce manticores, charged toward them in a blind panic.
At the rear of this herd were some weaker fourth- and fifth-level magical beasts, while nearly a hundred high-level magical beasts led by a dozen or so manticores were at the front. In both numbers and strength, they far surpassed the herd that had attacked Cecilia and the others earlier.
Cecilia's pretty face changed, and she immediately ordered her subordinates to prepare their defenses, afraid these magical beasts would trample them into pulp.
"No need to prepare. These magical beasts seem mainly concerned with escaping. They probably won't attack us!" Han Shuo called out calmly. Through his Xuan Demons, he could see extremely far. Two or three of them swiftly flew deeper into Talaga Gorge and discovered several other groups of adventurers along the way, but as the magical beasts raced past, they did not attack the humans recklessly as they had before.
At Han Shuo's words, Cecilia hesitated before saying, "Then let's gather together and stay out of the path of the herds charging straight toward us!"
At her call, the members of Dark Curtain hurriedly closed in around her. Only Elizabeth turned a deaf ear to Cecilia's words and stayed firmly behind Han Shuo.
