"What humans? A lot of things?" the Black-Horned Goat said, tilting its head back.
It paused for a moment, then added, "It must be Lord Scarlet Wolf dealing with those humans, that's normal!"
"Oh--!" The Harrier Pig nodded in realization, its heart finally settling down.
The two Calamity Beast continued to follow the group forward.
But they stopped again after going only a short distance.
At a slightly higher point on the mountain, for some unknown reason, many of the Calamity Beast suddenly turned around and stopped charging uphill, instead heading downhill.
What are they doing?
The two Calamity Beast beasts exchanged a glance, both seeing the incomprehension in each other's eyes.
Before they could react, a Sky-Skimming Harrier flew overhead.
"You want to die? If you don't want to die, go back! Do you hear me...?"
The words seemed to have some effect, as the Calamity Beast that were originally descending paused slightly.
But they stopped and looked up into the distance.
Then.
I don't know which Calamity Beast started it, but one group after another, until finally they all started moving again.
"Stop! I told you to stop! Do you want to die?" the Sky-Skimming Harrier shouted, but this time it had no effect.
The Harrier Pig and the Black-Horned Goat stared at the scene before them in bewilderment.
A roar erupted, this time coming not only from behind but also from above.
The Harrier Pig hesitated for a moment, then listened carefully again.
"Humanity is coming to attack, and you're still climbing upwards? Get out of my way!"
"No, sir, please don't..."
"Don't push me! Ugh..."
"Run! That Sky-Skimming Harrier is just trying to trick us into dying!"
"You bastard, who just shouted that?"
"Get away..."
Although it was somewhat difficult, the Harrier Pig managed to hear a little bit of what was being said.
Humans... are they coming?
It turned its head and looked behind it, but there were many beast shadows, and it could not see anything.
Nearby, many of the Calamity Beast and the Harrier Pig were making the same movements; if the Harrier Pig could hear them, so could the others.
However, like Harrier Pig, they mostly can't see anything.
Some of the Calamity Beast leaped up from the spot, but they seemed to only see some chaotic scenes and nothing else.
For a moment, the numerous Calamity Beast stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
However, while they stopped, the fleeing ones did not stop, but instead frantically approached them.
The Harrier Pig stood there, looking somewhat bewildered, turning its head left and right, unsure of what to do.
Most of the Calamity Beast around it are like this.
Of course, some of the Calamity Beast hesitated for a moment before retreating to the side.
It stood there, watching the scene unfold before it.
Suddenly, it remembered Lord Split-Claw Cat, who had just left.
So, Lord Split-Claw Cat saw it just now, and that's why he ran away?
What should I do then?
The Harrier Pig didn't know; if it had, it wouldn't be standing there idly.
The roar grew closer and clearer.
As the voice grew clearer, more and more Calamity Beast began to believe it.
After all, having one Calamity Beast roar might be a trick, but what about two, three, or a hundred?
Moreover, the commotion didn't seem to be caused by a hundred Calamity Beast!
As a result, the beast herd, which had been barely holding on, began to panic more and more.
The Harrier Pig stood still, its limbs trembling slightly.
It wanted a beast to tell it what to do, but it didn't seem to find one.
Suddenly.
"Bang!"
Something unknown fell beside the beasts.
It and the nearby Calamity Beast instinctively turned their heads and looked over.
What came into view was a Calamity Beast, covered in blood, missing a hind leg, with bits of flesh and broken bones still hanging from its wound.
It lay on the ground, its three remaining legs twitching, and blood and foam continuously seeping from the corners of its mouth.
"Sir... I didn't mean to block your way..."
Indistinct words came from its mouth.
Finally, it stopped, remaining still and motionless.
The beasts stood by, staring blankly at the scene before them.
They didn't quite understand, but they roughly knew that the Calamity Beast in front of them had been killed for blocking their way, and that the one who killed it was probably not human.
But more importantly... what should they do now?
The Harrier Pig trembled, then came to its senses.
Its body trembled slightly, and before it could figure out what to do, a Calamity Beast beside it suddenly moved.
Run... run fast...
The Harrier Pig looked over and saw the Calamity Beast running to the side, its body trembling as it shouted.
Soon, led by it, one after another of the Calamity Beast began to run.
The Harrier Pig trembled, then abandoned all thought and ran off in that direction.
All sorts of sounds rang in my ears: roars, screams, explosions...
But what's most eye-catching is that sound, which seems to come from nowhere...
Run!
The sound seemed to come from the clouds, or perhaps from the abyss.
One sound after another, as if trying to take root in its brain.
The Harrier Pig ignored it and didn't realize there was anything wrong with it; without even realizing it, it started yelling too.
"Run!!"
Somewhere on the battlefield.
Her body, as smooth as water, rippled gently.
The Mirror Water Beast stood still, its empty gaze fixed on the most bustling part of the battlefield.
A nimble figure appeared and disappeared in the field of vision; even it could easily lose sight of the other if it wasn't careful.
"So, these humans were able to hide on the sidelines because of this person...?"
The Mirror Water Beast silently gazed at that figure.
His gaze shifted to the figure's opponent.
The Hard-Armored Salamander had dozens of wounds of Xiaoxiao on its body.
Surprisingly, that human seems quite strong?
The Mirror Water Beast thought for a moment, then turned its gaze to the human standing on the Long Python's corpse.
It glanced at it, then turned its gaze to the direction where the main beast tide was now located.
Several Sky-Skimming Harrier circled overhead, calling out.
Below them, one after another, Calamity Beast completely ignored them, fleeing desperately.
Furthermore, many of these Calamity Beast even go so far as to attack other Calamity Beast.
The Mirror Water Beast stared at that spot for a moment before slowly moving away.
There's nothing we can do if we don't move it. We might have been able to stop it at first, but now that things have progressed to this stage, even it is no longer able to stop the beast tide from collapsing.
but...
It turned its head and looked at the human standing on the Long Python's corpse.
The words 'escape' still echoed in my ears, urging me on and tempting me.
Sound, guidance...
Is this the human being that His Majesty the Lion King specifically mentioned, the one he wanted to focus on?
" kia. kia..."
It chuckled softly twice, and its jelly-like body slowly moved forward.
If it were just these humans in front of it, even if it was quite interested in the two Fifth Tier humans inside, it wouldn't make a move immediately.
But more humans are coming to help...
