"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The roar of cannons and the howling of flames filled the air.
One after another, the Calamity Beast fled frantically outwards.
"... Damn it, this won't do!"
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni gritted its teeth, its cloudy yellow pupils turning slightly red from excessive anger.
It stared intently at the fleeing Calamity Beast, and after a thought, it suddenly darted forward.
The wind whistled past its ears, suddenly.
"Call--"
The sound of cannon fire broke out.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni twisted its body, its turbid yellow pupils looking to the side.
A human cannonball appeared beside it and began to fall rapidly downwards.
"Damn it, that voice, humans..."
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni cursed in its mind.
After the initial attack, it immediately began to observe the situation of the humans who were attacking from above.
After confirming that it was not a threat, it immediately roared and gave the order, preparing to let the Calamity Beast below launch a counterattack!
Strangely, all the shouting did nothing, and more and more of the Calamity Beast began to flee.
At first, it was furious, thinking, "Have these Calamity Beast eaten dragon's gall? How dare they disregard my orders?"
Until a Calamity Beast fleeing in this direction asked it,
Gou Wang, why have you suddenly changed your orders? Are you now planning a counterattack?
Didn't understand, stunned, pondered, asked a question.
Finally, it understood.
He himself was outside issuing orders for the other Calamity Beast to evacuate?!
Thinking of this, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni glanced at the cannonball that had already passed its body, then turned its gaze upwards.
With numerous figures standing around and flashes of fire constantly appearing, it was impossible to tell who was who, but there was no doubt...
"Are these humans imitating my voice to command... no, to Induction those low-level Calamity Beast?" The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni gritted its teeth and growled.
It didn't find anyone with this ability last time, so it's definitely not related to that person who couldn't be found. Another human?
While pondering, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni suddenly paused in its gaze as it looked upwards.
An extremely thin, faint ray of light clung to a Stone, falling forward.
Its pupils contracted slightly.
The Origin Power was forcibly activated, forcing its body to stop, and then it quickly retreated backward.
The next moment.
"Boom--"
The arrow exploded immediately upon landing.
It wasn't very powerful, but even a weakly defended Calamity Beast like it would suffer if it endured it!
"Damn it, who is this guy?!"
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni cursed, but that was all.
It propelled itself forward again with a burst of speed from its hind legs.
Meanwhile, roars echoed incessantly as it advanced.
"The order just now was forged by humans. Now, all Calamity Beast, immediately launch a counterattack! Anyone who dares to continue fleeing..."
The process repeats itself.
The Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni struggled forward.
The arrows, barely perceptible, fell again and again.
Even though the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni was keeping a close eye on what was above, the subtle attacks still nearly hit it several times.
Finally, after landing once again, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni came to a stop.
Its face was grim, its gaze fixed upwards to avoid being hit by the barely perceptible arrows, while its mind raced.
That method did work, but it was too slow!
If things continue like that, it will be quite good if we can attract more than a thousand Calamity Beast by then.
Over a thousand... Pfft, are you looking for trouble?
We need to think of a way!
In a flash, the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni suddenly turned its head and scanned the surroundings, finally stopping its gaze on a Fourth Tier Calamity Beast not far away.
"Over there, that Blade-Spined Wolf!"
Upon hearing its own clan name, the Blade-Spined Wolf was slightly taken aback.
It turned its head to look in the direction of the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni, and after confirming that Lord Gou Wang was indeed calling it, it immediately ran over cautiously.
" Gou Wang the Lord!"
"You run out immediately and relay what I just said," the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni quickly ordered. "The order was forged by humans. Now, all the Calamity Beast, launch a counterattack immediately! Anyone who dares to continue running away will die!"
"I, this..."
The Blade-Spined Wolf opened its mouth, but for a moment it didn't know what to say.
It had just heard and seen Lord Gou Wang's actions, so it naturally understood Gou Wang's meaning, but it hesitated precisely because it understood.
Gou Wang himself finds this task difficult, and you want me to do it?
Of course, you can't say it like that, otherwise Gou Wang would immediately use it as a sacrifice to the heavens!
Of course, you can't just accept any offer, otherwise you might get blasted to smithereens by those humans right away!
After a moment's hesitation, the Blade-Spined Wolf looked upwards.
" Gou Wang, if you tell me this so directly, the humans probably won't let me pass, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll cover your escape!" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni said directly.
Having said that, seemingly sensing Blade-Spined Wolf's thoughts, Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni paused, its gaze turning cold as it looked at Blade-Spined Wolf.
"Of course, you can also choose not to accept this order!"
Looking into that cold, bloodshot gaze tinged with a murky yellow, the Blade-Spined Wolf trembled. Only then did it recall their respective ecological niches and hurriedly said:
"Okay, I understand!"
"Now that you know, hurry up! Go out and inform them. You just need to run!" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni shouted.
"Yes!" Blade-Spined Wolf responded, then quickly turned around.
Firelight, smoke, blood, and Calamity Beast...
The mountain path was in complete chaos.
It lifted its forelegs, paused for a moment, and then quickly began to stride forward.
It's hard to say if it's just its imagination, but the moment it starts running, it always feels like there are suddenly more attacks coming at it.
The Blade-Spined Wolf instinctively began to discern the difference.
The whooshing sound was from human bullets. This kind was alright; it posed almost no threat to it, except for being a bit annoying.
Whoosh, those are human artillery shells. These are troublesome. Although getting hit occasionally won't kill you, it's best to avoid being hit. After all, in a battlefield, you're not safe just because you're not killed outright.
Occasionally, there are explosions that are almost inaudible, but suddenly burst open nearby. They are very powerful, but slow, and easy to dodge if you pay attention. However, the key is to be careful; otherwise, you're in trouble...
The Blade-Spined Wolf ran forward, trying to discern the sounds in its ears.
It glanced at it briefly during the journey.
He saw Gou Wang following not far behind him, constantly shielding him from attacks.
Suddenly, their gazes turned towards them.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and run!" the Hook-Tailed Golden Suanni snapped.
Upon hearing this, the Blade-Spined Wolf shuddered, but its mind relaxed, and it quickly moved forward.
