The Fence

As it was thinking this, it suddenly noticed a Black Rat to its side.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, it raised its paw, grabbed a handful of soil, and threw it there.

"Quick, another one is coming from over there!"

With a roar, the beasts slightly adjusted their direction and rushed towards the location of the Black Rat.

The Fear Beast ran along, a smile on its face as it watched the scene unfold before it.

Actually, they don't chase all Black Rat.

If the other party is not in the direction they are going, and they have some sense, then they can spare the other party's life!

But if the other party is in the direction they want to go, and then... well, if it's in the direction they want to go, then regardless of whether the other party is perceptive or not, they will try to kill it.

After all, they are still hungry.

It's not that they didn't eat, it's just that the number of the Calamity Beast initially offered as food, which they had explicitly refused during previous communication, was really not many.

Then, there were too many Calamity Beast involved.

In this situation, each Calamity Beast ended up with very little to eat.

Of course, eating a little something can help restore your strength.

But that's all.

Therefore, they will spare no effort to kill any Black Rat that appears in their path!

that is...

Suddenly, a hint of doubt appeared in the Fear Beast as it stared at the fleeing figure ahead.

"Why does this Black Rat... seem not to be afraid at all?!"

The Fear Beast looked at the Black Rat with some confusion.

As expected, the Black Rat that came into view did indeed run forward, just like the other Black Rat before it.

However, although the other person also seemed somewhat nervous, they didn't appear flustered.

Moreover, the way he kept turning his head back.

The Fear Beast's gaze suddenly paused again.

The Black Rat turned its head and hissed loudly.

What is that shouting?... The Fear Beast was puzzled, its ears perked up instinctively, trying to make out the very indistinct sound amidst the noise.

"Jia... zhel... this, here, quick, those guys..."

The sound gradually emerged from the noise, and the Fear Beast heard it more and more clearly.

Finally, at a certain moment, it stopped, its pupils contracting rapidly.

This guy is shouting... about the other Black Rat? The Black Rat, realizing what's happening, are already here?!

The Fear Beast gazed ahead.

Perhaps because its attention had been focused elsewhere, it even felt a tremor coming from in front of it.

Yes, the tremors coming from the front do not originate from here.

Realizing what that might be, the Fear Beast instantly turned its head and cried out in terror:

"Quickly, all you Calamity Beast, stop immediately! Those Black Rat are coming to reinforce! Quickly, scatter..."

"Now, scatter immediately..."

One roar after another echoed through the horde of beasts.

The sound wasn't static; it traveled rapidly from the front of the herd towards the rear.

Under its influence, the vast majority of the Calamity Beast heard what it was shouting.

The remaining ones were not heard because the environment was too noisy.

As they ran forward, they kept looking at the Fear Beast lord who was shouting instructions to the other Calamity Beast at the rear of the herd.

Then, as if it had completed some task, Lord Fear Beast ran towards the back, where there were no other Calamity Beast left!

This time, it didn't even shout; it just kept its head down and ran wildly.

"What... is going on?"

The Calamity Beast, having not heard the message, was somewhat puzzled.

Then they discovered something even more puzzling.

The other Calamity Beast, which had been gathered together and running forward, scattered to the side.

The herd of beasts was not particularly large to begin with, and with no cover in any direction, they quickly dispersed in the blink of an eye.

The Calamity Beast, having not heard the shout, stared blankly at the scene before it.

Suddenly, some of the Calamity Beast trembled, glanced at the seemingly familiar yet utterly unfamiliar dense forest around them, and subconsciously ran in the direction where the nearest Calamity Beast had just run; others subconsciously ran in the direction where the Fear Beast lord had just run.

The remaining small group of Calamity Beast hesitated for a moment. They had originally wanted to follow, but the next moment, they seemed to be attracted by something and stopped in their tracks.

A tremor sound rang in my ears.

They turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Boom, boom..."

The next moment, their pupils contracted rapidly.

One after another, Black Rat with sinister grins emerged from the darkness and the depths of the forest...

Somewhere, in the woods.

The leaves rustled, and one by one Calamity Beast lay prostrate on the ground, concealed among the foliage.

The Black Jade Lion was also lying on the ground, its eyes fixed on the front.

Suddenly, a vacuum appeared in front of them, where the once dense forest had been.

The vacuum area was quite large, nearly two hundred meters long, and was separated by a tall wooden fence.

In the middle of the fence was a cluster of buildings, where hundreds of Black Rat were lying, sitting, or chatting.

Without making a sound, the Black Jade Lion lay prostrate in place, waiting quietly.

Time passed by, second by second.

Suddenly, without anyone noticing, the Black Jade Lion's gaze paused and it looked up.

In my field of vision, a Black Rat covered in blood was seen running frantically along the fence toward the pile of buildings.

It seemed to be calling out something, but because it was too far away, they couldn't hear it at all.

But the Black Jade Lion no longer cared about that.

It stared intently ahead.

A thought flashed through my mind.

"Did Lord Two-Horned Lizard's plan succeed?"

The Calamity Beast, sharing the same thought, couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Is this... okay?"

"Lord Rock-Backed Beast is truly too clever; how could you even think of such a method?"

"Yes, that's right. When I first heard about this plan, I thought..."

Exclamations of amazement kept coming from the side.

But soon, it was silenced again.

One by one, the Calamity Beast hid in the forest, gazing into the distance.

They only saw the Black Rat quickly run into the resting area in front of the fence, and then it opened its mouth and said something to the other Black Rat.

Before long, one Black Rat after another quickly scurried out of the resting place and headed in the direction from which the Black Rat had come.

Then, wait.

Only when the Black Rat ' view was blocked by the fence did the Black Jade Lion slowly stand up from the ground.

It stopped trying to conceal its form and turned its gaze to the other Calamity Beast beside it.

"Now, let's act..."
