Shen Heng also looked over.
There, a chaotic tide of beasts fled in panic.
He did intend to draw the battle there, since most of the Calamity Beast were just fleeing; although there were casualties, they weren't particularly numerous.
If the battle were to move there, it could result in even more casualties among the Calamity Beast, causing greater chaos, but...
His gaze returned to the Mirror Water Beast.
The conversation just now had made him realize that the Mirror Water Beast was very intelligent.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the other party realized their two objectives, but...
Shen Heng stared at the Mirror Water Beast, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Ask it out loud? Why?
Seeing that the human in front of him remained silent, the Mirror Water Beast smiled and said, "If you want to go over... you can!"
As it spoke, it slid backward, sliding dozens of meters away.
The two sides were already far apart, and this slip made them even further apart.
"Why should I go there?" Shen Heng asked.
The Mirror Water Beast chuckled and said, "They're just low-level Calamity Beast. Whether they live or die, I don't care!"
"So you just let me go?" Shen Heng asked.
"Yes, they're just some... low-level Calamity Beast after all!" the Mirror Water Beast replied. "Compared to their survival, I'd rather you know... my invitation just now wasn't just a casual remark!"
Shen Heng looked at the Mirror Water Beast but did not reply.
His words were indeed full of sincerity, but...
"You really are... awful!"
"Is it bad?" The Mirror Water Beast tilted its head. "I'm just not interested in their... survival. Compared to some Calamity Beast, they're already quite good!"
He wasn't lying... Shen Heng deciphered the Mirror Water Beast's words, then gazed at the fleeing Calamity Beast in the distance.
But whether or not one dies largely depends on the Calamity Beast above and luck; it really is...
"Is the Ruins Realm always this cruel?" Shen Heng asked.
"Although I know you're... stalling for time, I'll still answer your question!" the Mirror Water Beast replied. "Not at all! If it weren't for the Court Council's arrangements, most of the Calamity Beast... wouldn't bother with the Calamity Beast below them. Of course, there are some that are well-managed... only requiring them to hand over some resources and food periodically!"
In short, how well one lives depends on luck... Shen Heng gazed into the distance and nodded.
"We can't... delay any longer, or your kind will... be here soon!" the Mirror Water Beast warned from a distance.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze and met the eyes of the Mirror Water Beast.
Suddenly, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure swiftly darted forward.
Just as the Mirror Water Beast had said, it let him pass without stopping him.
Looking at the Mirror Water Beast behind him, which was once again compressing its body, Shen Heng recalled what it had just said.
This is to demonstrate the sincerity of the previous attempts to win them over!
So... do all these kinds of Calamity Beast like to recruit people?
"Bang!"
Heavy thumping sounds rang out.
The blue figure, shrunk to the size of a cannonball, hurtled straight towards them!
"Roar--"
"Waaah--"
"Run! Run! Run..."
A cacophony of roars echoed throughout the horde of beasts.
The shouts were mostly meaningless and shouldn't be shouted; occasionally there would be one or two curses, but those were mostly things like telling someone to hurry up or not block the way.
"Hateful!"
The Mire Lizard cursed angrily.
After cursing, it couldn't help but glance to its side and behind, where Lord Scarlet Wolf was fighting a giant.
I checked the distance; it seems even closer than before.
Realizing this, it immediately turned its gaze back to what was ahead.
Ahead, one Calamity Beast Calamity Beast was squeezed next to another.
Although it was moving forward, the speed was pitifully slow.
"Damn it, hurry up!" the Mire Lizard cursed angrily.
No Calamity Beast paid it any attention, and no Calamity Beast had time to pay it any attention now; all the Calamity Beast surged forward madly.
Seeing this, the Mire Lizard angrily cursed a few more times.
It gritted its teeth, its gaze fixed on the receding, Calamity Beast, wondering if it should take a gamble and simply trample over it.
Memories from before flashed through my mind.
One by one, the Calamity Beast, relying on their Tier 3 status and larger size than the other Calamity Beast, jumped up in the face of this situation, trying to step on the backs of the other Calamity Beast to get over.
But before long, they would be pulled down, intentionally or unintentionally, and quickly submerged in the beast tide.
Of course, some succeed, but not many, and most of them are skilled in speed!
But that's precisely the problem; it's not good at speed!
The Mire Lizard gritted its teeth, unsure whether it should do this or not.
Doing it might lead to death, not doing it might also lead to death!
Just as he hesitated...
"Boom! Boom--"
A much louder impact than any of the previous sounds came from behind.
Somewhat puzzled, it looked behind it.
Then, he froze, his pupils slightly contracting.
In our field of vision, a huge figure was flying straight towards us.
Nearby, some of the remaining sane Calamity Beast also looked back.
A moment later, they turned around at the same time.
"Run!"
"Hurry up, you damn guy!"
Terrified screams echoed wildly amidst the beast tide.
The Mire Lizard also roared twice.
Then, after seeing that the scene was almost exactly the same as before, it paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped forward onto the back of the Calamity Beast, and then quickly moved forward.
But the whistling sound behind them kept getting louder and louder...
Just as the howling sound reached an almost ear-piercing level, the Mire Lizard turned its head to look again.
The figure that almost completely filled the cloudy yellow pupils was reflected in them.
"Puff--"
The enormous blue figure dragged along the ground for a distance.
All that remained along the way was a dark red ravine, soaked in blood and gore.
The surviving Calamity Beast nearby stared at its figure in fear and disbelief.
Completely ignoring the surrounding Calamity Beast, the Mirror Water Beast turned around, locked onto its target, and then flew out.
The sound of bombardment rang out again.
One by one, the Calamity Beast came to their senses and looked at each other.
This time, no sound affected them, but...
"Clam--"
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!..."
"Run! Run!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
Gravel flew everywhere, and dirt swirled in the air.
One after another, the Calamity Beast fell on their escape route.
"Boom!"
Once again.
Shen Heng landed on the back of a Calamity Beast, panting slightly.
He slightly raised his eyes, ignoring the trembling Calamity Beast caused by his aura, and stared straight ahead.
There, the Mirror Water Beast slowly slid out from the smoke and dust.
It doesn't seem like it should be a melee fighter, but... its speed and strength are even faster than the Sky-Sundering Kamaitachi?
At the same time, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Mirror Water Beast.
It looked at the humans opposite it.
Even after mobilizing a large amount of Origin Power, it's still... a little short?
