"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
Rockets were fired one after another from the mountaintop, exploding below.
Bullets, high-explosive grenades...
All sorts of ammunition were being thrown down as if they were free.
Cries of terror and agony rang out incessantly, accompanied by the dropping of ammunition.
Shen Heng stood on the mountaintop, his gaze fixed on the frantic, exhausted Calamity Beast below.
To be honest, before this, he had never thought that he could annihilate all the Calamity Beast below with just this few people.
After all, the terrain was only so-so, ammunition was not enough, and even manpower was far from sufficient.
But the scene before him made this thought pop into his mind.
Given enough time, perhaps, with the current resources, we can annihilate all the Calamity Beast below?
After a moment of silence, Shen Heng suppressed the thought again.
Whether it works or not, we can't use this method now.
Firstly, the strategy has already been decided; making adjustments now would only create chaos.
Secondly, we need to act quickly, since there are still more Calamity Beast on the other side. We need to deal with this situation as soon as possible before we have the resources to handle any potential follow-up situations.
After thinking it over, Shen Heng shifted his gaze and locked it onto another figure.
The figure swayed in mid-air, dodging various attacks while observing the situation above.
After a moment, it seemed to have determined the situation of the enemies attacking them from above. It turned around and found a slightly sheltered spot to stop, its gaze fixed on the panicked horde of beasts.
At the same time, a voice echoed in Shen Heng's ears.
"So few people? Tch! Maybe I'm finally going to have some luck..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
Flames rose, and smoke filled the sky.
Night Shadow Hound leaned against the mountainside, trembling all over.
It wanted to run, but didn't know where to run, and having run for almost a day, it didn't have the energy to run any further.
At this moment, it leaned against the mountain wall, trembling.
"Boom--"
A loud explosion rang out nearby.
The shockwave, carrying debris and snow, splashed onto its body.
The Night Shadow Hound trembled, shifted slightly to the side, then stopped, its gaze involuntarily fixed on the spot where the explosion had just occurred.
Despite having been informed beforehand what kind of weapons these humans possessed, it was still overwhelmed with shock upon actually seeing them.
Are these humans really that powerful?
"... No! No! No! Ah--"
A roar echoed in my ears.
The Night Shadow Hound looked over, trembling.
Some Calamity Beast were seen fleeing in panic; Calamity Beast were frantically searching for hiding places; still Calamity Beast seemed frightened, standing still, unsure of what to do...
All sorts of roars and howls rang in its ears.
"... Damn it! Damn it!!"
"What should we do now? Does any beast know?"
"I told you, we can't go any further, can we? Wouldn't it be better to leave tomorrow?"
" Gou Wang! Where is Lord Gou Wang?"
"Mother..."
The Night Shadow Hound's trembling body suddenly paused, as if it had gleaned something from the words just spoken.
"Yes, Lord Gou Wang! Where is Lord Gou Wang? We just need to find Gou Wang!"
It stood still, frantically turning its head to search in all directions.
However, the line seemed rather long, and it couldn't find the sound it was looking for.
"Are you going out?"
The thought crossed Night Shadow Hound's mind.
It was about to take a step when it stopped, as mud and snow were splashed all over it again.
No, we'll die if we go out. Let's wait for Lord Gou Wang's orders!
Night Shadow Hound thought this way, and that's what it did.
But it seemed that Gou Wang had no intention of leading them, and no sound came from him.
Instead, the voices from the side no longer seemed to be filled with fear, but rather with a faint sense of despair.
"... Where is the beast? Where is the beast?"
"What should I do? Is there any animal expert who can tell me what to do?"
"Run!"
"If you run away and get caught, you'll definitely die!"
"Then tell me a way to avoid dying!"
"I want to too..."
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!!"
"What should I do? I don't want to die!"
"Should we just run?"
"But it ran away..."
The roars echoed through the mountain path.
However, the shouts of wanting to run away seemed to be gradually increasing...
Night Shadow Hound stood to the side, its body trembling even more violently.
It felt something was strange. Although the situation was indeed bad, it shouldn't be that they were all going to run away in such a short time, right?
Was I being too dedicated?
Night Shadow Hound couldn't help but think this.
Being inexperienced, it looked to the side.
Just then, a Calamity Beast happened to look at it, and after making eye contact, it quickly looked away.
This is in...
"I don't care anymore! I'm running away! If I don't run, I'll definitely die; if I run, I might survive!"
A loud roar from a very close distance interrupted Night Shadow Hound's investigation of the Calamity Beast.
It instinctively looked towards the spot where it had just shouted.
A group of Calamity Beast were also staring in that direction.
Where all the beasts' eyes were focused, a Phantom Wolf had already run forward!
No, this... Night Shadow Hound stared blankly at the scene before him, unsure of what to do.
But then, in my line of sight, a second, a third...
More of the Calamity Beast hesitated.
Suddenly.
"All Calamity Beast, leave this place immediately! We've been ambushed by humans! Don't go any further! There are more humans lying in ambush ahead. Quickly, scatter and run in all directions, just don't run towards those humans!"
"Quickly, scatter and run..."
The roars echoed around.
One after another, the Calamity Beast stopped in their tracks, looking in the direction from which the sound came.
Night Shadow Hound also looked in that direction.
That was... Gou Wang's voice?
Clearly, it wasn't the only one who realized this.
"Run! We've been ambushed by those humans!"
" Gou Wang said, run!"
"Hurry up, if you don't want to die, don't block my way!"
"Move to the side, to the side..."
A roar could be heard from the side.
The Night Shadow Hound shuddered and quickly moved forward.
The wide canyon suddenly became lively.
One after another, the Calamity Beast scattered in all directions...
"... Damn it, damn it, damn it! I told you, I didn't shout that. Are you deaf?"
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni floated in mid-air, its bloodshot eyes fixed on the Calamity Beast beside it that was staring back at it.
"Hurry up! Now, all the Calamity Beast, attack those humans immediately! There aren't many of them!"
"Did you hear me? All you Calamity Beast, immediately..."
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni roared madly.
However, this doesn't seem to have any effect.
The nearby Calamity Beast were eyeing it.
But the Calamity Beast further away seemed not to hear, and frantically fled in all directions.
Affected by this, the nearby Calamity Beast were at a loss for what to do and just stared at it blankly.
