A Swift and Decisive Battle

"You need to practice more!"

Zhang Xuezhou was extremely skilled in the art of cloud manipulation, but that was in another world.

His real-life Tengyun technique won't suddenly reach the same level; there's still room for refinement in areas like body coordination, Law Power circulation, acupoint adjustment, and Law Power control.

Even though it only requires copying homework, it still takes some time to adapt.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou in reality does not possess the Heavenly Robe or the Technique Within the Clouds, making him inferior to the other world in terms of flying ability.

In the other world, he flew tens of thousands of miles back and forth, but in reality, he was still only traveling within a range of tens or hundreds of miles.

"Once my flying skills are good enough, maybe I can go to Qin Meng's capital to check things out!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought to himself for a moment.

But whenever he thought about the threat posed by the flying beasts, he couldn't help but have some reservations.

"Having the ability to fly alone doesn't seem enough. If an accident happens, I won't even have the strength to struggle. I need to see if I can find an opportunity to hone my physical skills!"

Although the other world was full of troubles, as the source of Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation of Realm Technique, it undoubtedly provided sufficient cost for trial and error, and also made Zhang Xuezhou aware of what he should improve.

If preventing Huang Daoxian's attacks requires raising one's sequence level to strengthen one's mental defenses, then exploring the Qin Meng region requires being skilled in flight and resilient to find the threads of this vast continent and even uncover Qin Meng's secrets.

The Scarlet Alliance State was concerned with the conditions for Zhang Xuezhou to settle down, while Qin Meng's case involved a possible fortuitous opportunity.

Zhang Xuezhou had a very clear understanding of things and tried his best to improve his abilities, striving for perfection in every action.

Once again crossing the familiar area, Zhang Xuezhou continued to leap closer and closer to the place where the ferocious beast had previously entrenched itself.

What took Changkong Luo and others an hour or two to traverse the rugged mountain path, Zhang Xuezhou could cover in just a few minutes by leaping across.

He floated high in the sky, where mountains and rivers appeared as giant building blocks, while the ferocious beasts he had previously observed, which were nearly three zhang long, were only the size of fingernails.

Zhang Xuezhou observed this situation from below, and he observed the same situation from below in the air.

"It seems someone's in trouble?"

As Zhang Xuezhou continued to look down, he sensed that there seemed to be some people among the horde of ferocious beasts.

This kind of identification isn't difficult; you can make a judgment by seeing any tiger stripes with clothing on them. It's just that Zhang Xuezhou didn't know who was so unlucky as to be left behind among the ferocious beasts.

"Was Changkong Luo's command driven by greed, or is someone experiencing a bout of mental decline in their later years?"

There aren't many reasons why someone could be trapped in a pack of ferocious beasts. Excluding these two points, the only remaining possibility is that the beast leader, as Zhang Xuezhou speculated, could defy common sense.

He hovered high in the sky, constantly looking down to search for others and trying to identify those trapped inside.

"Uniforms are such a terrible thing!"

Zhang Xuezhou, exercising his authority as Grand Master of the Palace in the Great Han Dynasty, standardized uniforms. Many people participating in the Alliance Island competition also adopted uniforms, and even the people in the Old Age Mansion wore similar attire.

As they continued to descend, Zhang Xuezhou found it increasingly difficult to discern the identities of those trapped inside.

When the ferocious beast's howling sound reached the sky, Zhang Xuezhou's heart couldn't help but tighten.

He had clearly entered the range where the ferocious beasts were on guard, and one of them had noticed his unusual behavior.

"Roar!"

The fierce roar of the tiger echoed far into the sky, its sound carrying both warning and defiance.

Then, several of the largest and most ferocious beasts pounced and charged forward, and Zhang Xuezhou then saw a black stone being thrown up from below.

"Besides the ferocious beasts that can fly, those that can use weapons and demonic treasures also have extremely high growth potential and should not be underestimated when encountered in the future!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at it from afar and saw the stone travel over two hundred meters before falling back down.

This behavior is extremely rare among previously known groups of ferocious beasts.

Compared to these ferocious beasts, the giant bird-like beast with a large beak that they captured years ago was practically adorably silly, and even the hyena that was good at groin-grabbing seemed rather simple and honest.

Having witnessed the ferocious beasts' counterattack methods, Zhang Xuezhou felt somewhat relieved. He realized that these beasts had limited abilities, and that the winged beast from before would hardly be able to fly again, otherwise it would have pounced on him upon discovering him.

He dodged several stones that were hurtling into the air, and with a sway of his body, landed dramatically on top of the stone pillar where the snake cave was located.

Hundreds of meters apart, Zhang Xuezhou stared at the ferocious beast from afar, occasionally glancing at the figures of people lying on the ground.

"He seems to resemble Li Qi, but also somewhat like Zuo Lianguang, and Zhong Rang!"

Zhang Xuezhou searched for several seconds but couldn't find any relevant weapons. He looked at the person lying on the ground and couldn't make out who it was.

After guessing several times, Zhang Xuezhou gave up trying to figure it out.

"If the Bewitching Technique could be transformed into Divine Ability, perhaps it would have some chance of subduing ferocious beasts!"

Unable to launch a surprise attack and take the people away, nor could he drive away the ferocious beasts, and having seen no one else along the way, Zhang Xuezhou could only mutter to himself.

The bad thing is that they've fallen into a trap, but the good thing is that not everyone has fallen into it. The Elderly Group is still able to maintain a high level of combat strength, and the ferocious beasts have never left the area.

He held his hand seals and did not disperse. When dozens of sharp stones came crashing down like cannonballs again, Zhang Xuezhou had already leaped up once more.

After a series of dodges and leaps, Zhang Xuezhou managed to quickly avoid the stones that came flying through the air.

There were also constant roars of tigers and sharp cries. Every now and then, numerous ferocious beasts would roar and pounce a hundred or two meters away, then slowly retreat while still roaring.

"You hairless thing, it must be you who's tattling!"

Just as he knew about the physical strength of the hairless tiger beast, the hairless tiger beast seemed to think so as well.

The numerous ferocious beasts were far too rude to Zhang Xuezhou, roaring and attacking from a distance. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the hairless tiger beast, which was whimpering and barking with its rear end sticking out, played an indispensable role in this; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a dense rain of stones.

"One ferocious beast was successfully hunted, five were injured, and six others were unharmed!"

Having identified the trapped team members, Zhang Xuezhou also observed the ferocious beast's condition.

Not only did Zhang Xuezhou and his group inflict injuries, but Changkong Luo's team also clearly attacked the ferocious beasts one after another. In addition to the winged tiger-shaped beast being severely injured and collapsing to the ground panting, there was also a ferocious beast with extremely thick legs lying on the ground, and a long-nosed tiger-shaped beast whose nose had been cut off in half and seemed to be poisoned, constantly rubbing its nose on the rocks.

Apart from that, all the other ferocious beasts were in excellent condition.

"I wonder if Changkong Luo and his men will launch a surprise attack in the dead of night?"

In the first encounter between the Twilight Mansion team and the ferocious beast group, some ferocious beasts were hunted, some were injured, some high- Sequence Holder were beaten to the point of being unsure of their fate, Zhou Rihui was injured, and Cai Guoli was beaten into a state of Twilight Chaos. The battle situation on both sides was extremely close.

Those trapped among the ferocious beasts are likely to meet a grim fate, but Zhang Xuezhou's Supreme Purity True Technique even saved Qimeng Haige, so everyone will surely rescue those in distress.

Regardless of whether they were breathing or not, everyone would try to find them and provide first aid.

The outcome of the night raid is not important; what matters is rescuing the people.

After all, it's difficult for a ferocious beast to recover from its injuries, and the group still has Zhang Xuezhou to provide logistical support.

Zhang Xuezhou compared their situations and suddenly remembered the snake pit beneath his feet. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, wondering if these ferocious beasts had forcibly entered the snake pit to borrow the restorative power brought by the Qin Meng Secret Stone.

"If we're going to take action, it's very likely that only a swift and decisive victory will suffice!"

If the ferocious beast can heal its wounds with the help of the Qin Meng Secret Stone, their team's logistical advantage will be completely lost.

Launching an attack on the ferocious beast cannot be delayed; it's not just about rescuing people, but also likely one of their few remaining opportunities to defeat it.
