"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The rumbling sound echoed continuously in the long Eagle-Sorrow Ravine, intermittent yet seemingly never ceasing.
Amidst the deafening roar of artillery fire, a dark figure moved swiftly.
It tried time and again to break through the artillery barrage, but was repeatedly pushed back by the artillery fire.
After a long while, seemingly due to insufficient Origin Power, it slowed down and finally landed on a protruding rock.
"Ha-hoo, ha-hoo..."
Heavy, labored breathing came from the Shadow Wolf's mouth.
After adjusting itself slightly, it raised its head and glared fiercely at the place above where the flames were burning.
"Damn it, do these humans have an endless supply of weapons? Don't give me a chance, or else..."
Angry curses continued to pour from the Shadow Wolf's mouth.
After a long while, it seemed to have finished cursing, or perhaps it had run out of things to say, it finally stopped.
Seemingly casually, Shadow Wolf turned his head and glanced behind him.
Smoke filled the air, and animal carcasses lay strewn about...
There weren't many remaining Calamity Beast, and most of them were keeping an eye on the attacks from the other side while hiding behind rocks or Calamity Beast corpses, trying their best to survive.
Nevertheless, it can still be seen that many Calamity Beast have been keeping an eye on it in their spare time.
"Hmm... this should be enough, right?" Shadow Wolf looked at the Calamity Beast that had taken the time to pay attention to it.
Regardless of the final outcome, the other Calamity Beast have witnessed its valiant fight; all it needs to do now is find a way to escape.
But... how do I leave?
Feeling a bit of a headache, Shadow Wolf looked up again at the mountaintop opposite.
It doesn't care whether the other side runs out of weapons; it only cares about making sure it can leave.
Can I leave directly?
No, if we just leave, all that heroic act we just performed will have been for nothing.
So, pretend to be outmatched, and then leave?
Hmm... that's feasible, but it would be best to pretend to be injured, fall down, and then leave.
but...
A missile whistled and struck a huge rock not far from the Shadow Wolf.
With a loud bang, the rock exploded.
Shadow Wolf's lips twitched almost imperceptibly twice.
It then realized that it didn't need to pretend; it genuinely couldn't win.
But that's precisely the problem!
If the enemy weapon weren't too powerful, it could just take the hit head-on, then pretend it's done for, fall down, and fly away once it's fallen a little deeper. But now...
Looking at the rock that had just burst open, Shadow Wolf still felt a lingering fear.
If he were hit, it's very likely he wouldn't be faking it, but would actually fall.
What should we do?
Somewhat troubled, Shadow Wolf pondered whether there was a better way.
Suddenly, it paused, turned its head to look in one direction, and a piercing roar suddenly came from that direction.
" The Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi has betrayed us, go back quickly--"
Anger, ferocity.
The sound stopped abruptly.
A strange silence fell over Eagle-Sorrow Ravine.
Shadow Wolf stared wide-eyed, momentarily incredulous.
That was... the voice of Lord Molten-Fire Lizard?
What does "Lord Molten-Fire Lizard " mean?
Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi betrayed us?
What did they betray?
As if realizing something, Shadow Wolf's body trembled slightly.
It considered a possibility, but wasn't entirely sure...
Suddenly, a Calamity Beast appeared beside them, asking in a voice that was both loud and soft.
"Lord Shadow Wolf, was that Molten-Fire Lizard Lizard's voice just now?"
Speaking loudly is to ensure the Shadow Wolf can hear it in the noisy environment, while speaking softly is to avoid offending the Shadow Wolf.
Upon hearing this, the other Calamity Beast also subconsciously looked towards the Shadow Wolf, having also heard the roar just now.
Shadow Wolf glanced back at his fellow beasts and replied, "Hmm."
"Was what Molten-Fire Lizard just saying true?" the continuing Calamity Beast asked.
"Since Lord Molten-Fire Lizard has said so, then it must be true!" Shadow Wolf replied solemnly.
"And now, Lord Molten-Fire Lizard..."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but many of the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast already understood what it meant.
In the current environment, what else could it be if a sentence suddenly ends halfway through?
The Shadow Wolf did not reply; it was frowning in thought.
The scene fell silent for a moment, except for the continued booming of artillery fire.
"Um, what's that 'Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi '?" a Calamity Beast asked cautiously from the side.
"You country bumpkin! That's...!"
Ignoring the discussion about the surrounding Calamity Beast, Shadow Wolf's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Lord Molten-Fire Lizard has already been killed by those humans. If I stay any longer, I'll surely die too!
We need to think of a solution quickly, a solution, a solution...
As if struck by a thought, the Molten-Fire Lizard's eyes lit up.
Oh right, Molten-Fire Lizard Lord didn't finish saying was, was that we take it back?
Yes, that's right, that must be it!
I must bring back the message that Lord Molten-Fire Lizard risked his life to deliver!
I must bring this message back!
The surrounding Calamity Beast were calling for the Shadow Wolf, but it was completely oblivious to them.
With a push off the ground with all four legs, the Shadow Wolf hurriedly flew away.
This time, it's not flying towards the other side.
A section of mountain road.
The Stone-Armored Beast poked its head out, looking somewhat puzzled in the direction from which the sound had come.
Fortunately, for more than half the time since the start of the war, it has been lying on the ground, and yet so far, nothing has happened to it.
Of course, some fine-grained weapons did hit it, but because a single shot couldn't penetrate its stone armor, it didn't cause any damage.
As for the powerful weapon, only one shot was fired from start to finish, which only managed to make it twitch slightly.
This stroke of luck even sparked a thought in its mind... maybe it could survive?
With this sense of relief, the Stone-Armored Beast remained lying on the ground.
en route.
A beast called to it to run away, but it refused.
A beast called to it to let people pass, but it ignored it;
There were even beasts attacking it out of control, and it just toughed it out...
Finally, when the sound came from earlier, it couldn't resist its curiosity and stuck its head out to take a look.
But that's all!
Feeling somewhat bored, the Stone-Armored Beast withdrew its head again.
It certainly heard the dying roar of the Molten-Fire Lizard, but what did that have to do with a small beast like itself?
It can't even protect itself, let alone this!
Losing interest, the Stone-Armored Beast moved its head to make its armor fit even more snugly.
Then it continued to lie there, waiting for the result.
The dull thuds continued to come from outside, and at one point, they became even more intense.
Do those humans still have so many weapons?
The Stone-Armored Beast felt a chill and shrank back again.
Suddenly, a voice rang in its ears.
"I'll die! Run! I'll die! Run! I'll..."
