Ferocious Beast Leader

"Is it really that effective?"

Zhang Xuezhou provided the medicine, but he himself did not take it.

If his judgment is correct, the medicinal herbs he pulled from the snake pit can be classified as high-grade medicines, and may even be highly regarded.

The tragic incident involving the ingestion of Cynomorium songaricum had just occurred a few days prior, and Zhang Xuezhou had absolutely no desire to experience it a second time.

If the situation weren't so urgent, he wouldn't have shared the food with everyone.

However, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that there was a problem with the Cynomorium songaricum, and that everyone would benefit from taking this snake-cave herb.

"No, we need to proceed cautiously!"

Zhang Xuezhou swallowed hard, suppressing his urge to take the test.

Whether a drug works or not depends on the feedback from testers, but only the Alchemist's own experience of taking it can truly determine its effectiveness.

However, just a few days ago, Zhang Xuezhou had also been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of a rope for ten years. He had some thoughts running through his mind, but seeing everyone taking the medicine and repeatedly reminding and proclaiming his disclaimer, he hesitated.

"Chirp, chirp!"

"It's not your fault if something happens!"

"We took the medicine voluntarily; it has nothing to do with you!"

"I only have one request: could you please not put feces on the medicine next time?"

"This place is awful; everyone's covered in blood and filth!"

Even if this medicine has side effects, I think I'd still like to take it in the future!

"I don't know why, but I feel much more energetic. You should understand what this kind of energy is!"

"A youthful appearance can't hide the fact that we age, but this medicine has truly made me feel young and energetic!"

The time spent taking the medicine was not long, only two minutes. Many people took some or more of it, some swallowed some, some held some in their mouths, and some asked for more.

Only after Zhang Xuezhou's hands were empty did everyone take their positions and face the direction from which Zhong Rang charged.

Amidst the hissing of thousands of snakes, Zhong Rang's heavy breathing and shouts of killing continued, letting everyone know that the other party was still safe.

This is also the entry point into the battle that everyone is looking for.

With Zhou Xin no longer playing as the striker, the madman Zhong Rang undoubtedly became the spearhead, prompting everyone to seek to band together.

"My close-range combat skills are limited, so I'll be responsible for holding the lanterns to block the beasts' vision," Bi Dazhi said first.

"It's difficult to maintain a single direction during a charge, and it's not safe for one person to hold the lantern alone, so I'll hold the lantern too," Qin Zhong volunteered.

Carrying lanterns in such a team is no different from carrying flags in ancient warfare. This does not mean safety; on the contrary, it may make one a target for ferocious beasts. Only those with extremely agile bodies can do this job.

This is also the first position required to intervene in the battle, followed by forwards, centers, defenders, those in charge of defense, those in charge of control, and those responsible for powerful output, etc.

In an instant, everyone spoke up, and a battle formation was formed almost immediately.

"I'm the weakest, and close combat wouldn't be of much use to me. I'll stay and protect Committee Member Zhang!"

Wang Haoran was extremely cautious and conservative, but his choice satisfied everyone.

As a member of the third-generation Sequence Committee, Wang Haoran is one of the few outstanding individuals who have stepped into the Sixth Sequence. However, he is not quite up to par with the older generation of Sequence Committee members. It would be more appropriate for him to stay and protect Zhang Xuezhou, who is of great importance in logistics.

"Committee Member Zhang..."

Someone else spoke in a low voice, and it was unclear whether Wang Haoran protecting Zhang Xuezhou, or Zhang Xuezhou was protecting Wang Haoran.

But the group had no time to think about these things anymore; the boiling blood in their bodies seemed to be drawing them to unleash their power and break through everything in their path.

"They're gone!"

Chimman Hagrid was the first to leap down.

He didn't want to be involved in this situation, but having taken the medicine from the Scarlet Alliance State, Chimon Hagrid couldn't break his promise.

Moreover, he was involved in many other matters, such as Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran's strange control, the Tuer Divine Grace incident in which the people of the Scarlet Alliance State were deeply involved, and the powerful force that everyone was currently using to hunt ferocious beasts on a large scale.

All these events made Chimon Haig cautious, and he didn't dare to offend the Scarlet Alliance State.

He has now become the second person in the world to Eighth Sequence, but Chimmon Hagrid cannot rule out the possibility of this group successfully hunting the ferocious beast.

Perhaps the Seventh Sequence will continue to emerge, or perhaps some people will step into the Eighth Sequence as a result, thus making him less unique.

Maintaining good relations is fine, but if you don't follow the rules of social interaction and annoy people, leading to isolation and retaliation, Chimmon Hagrid feels that he deserves it.

Not only did he not hold everyone back, but he also took the lead, leaving the Scarlet Alliance State speechless.

In the darkness, more than ten people stepped into the tide of snakes, and continued to stomp rapidly toward Zhong Rang's location.

"Xuezhou, is there any side effect to this medicine?"

Wang Haoran surveyed the surrounding area and found that the area Zhang Xuezhou had stepped on was still safe; no venomous snakes dared to approach within a three-meter radius.

This relieved him slightly, and he then asked Zhang Xuezhou about it in a low voice.

"I don't know if there will be any consequences. This is a medicine I pulled out of the snake pit. I thought it could detoxify, so I gave Zhong Rang a piece. I never expected it to turn out like this!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied in a low voice.

"Old Ren said there's a great secret in this snake pit. Could the secret be this medicine?"

"There are also Qin Meng secret stones, and some others that I'm not sure about!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded in a low voice.

Zhong Rang's judgment on the Snake King's return to the Snake Cave was slightly off, but not by much.

Zhong Rang sneaked into the snake cave using ancient martial arts techniques that allowed him to suppress his death aura, and when he came out, he rushed out with Zhang Xuezhou, at a speed many times faster than before.

The battle between the ferocious beasts has indeed entered its later stages, and may be nearing its end, so leaving the snake pit early would not be a problem.

There were many forks in the snake cave, but Zhang Xuezhou only followed the guidance of the treasure-hunting technique and did not fully explore the snake cave.

The snake cave was not formed because of a Qin Meng secret stone; it may also involve the fire meteor factor, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to determine.

However, one thing is certain: there will be no shortage of powerful medicines in the snake cave, and the Qin Meng Secret Stone, weighing several tons, is a significant fortuitous opportunity that could even benefit the group. Its effect on Zhang Xuezhou and others may even surpass that of the ferocious beasts.

Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran exchanged a few words in hushed tones. Then, two clear sword whistles rang out, and two searchlights suddenly shone, illuminating a large area of the mountain almost instantly.

The snake king, resembling a train, reappeared in the stone forest hundreds of meters away. A tiger leaped across the ravine, and ferocious beasts darted back and forth in the stone forest, accompanied by various heavy blows.

Zhang Xuezhou looked into the distance and focused his gaze on the top of a stone pillar over thirty feet tall. There, he saw the enormous figure of a ferocious beast, with the faint outline of its huge wings flapping.

"It's that winged tiger! It leaped to a high place!"

Zhang Xuezhou always believed that the Winged Tiger was dangerous, and the Winged Tiger was also the first target of Changkong Luo and others.

However, the winged tiger's performance was indeed mediocre, and it was only at this point that Zhang Xuezhou vaguely realized there was a problem.

"It seems to be in command!"

If we were to choose a leader among these tiger-shaped ferocious beasts, the upright tiger, skilled in crafting demonic artifacts and possessing abilities unlike those of other ferocious beasts, would be a more likely candidate. The hairless tiger, on the other hand, possesses the ability to mentally attack and may have extremely high intelligence, which is also a possibility.

The smallest tiger cub possesses extraordinary striking power, capable of fiercely battling the snake king, thus exhibiting the characteristics of a leader.

The various tiger-shaped ferocious beasts each have their own unique characteristics, but none of them possess the ability to command.

At that moment, Zhang Xuezhou looked into the distance and saw that the winged beast at the top of the stone forest seemed to be commanding the battle through roars and howls, while the snake king kept charging outwards, also rushing towards the area where the beast was located.

"The first kill was actually aimed at the beast leader!"

Zhang Xuezhou murmured to himself, feeling that Song Xianzong's shot was incredibly accurate.
