During the battles between ferocious beasts, Changkong Luo experienced moments of mental confusion.

He initially thought this was a problem caused by the medication he was taking, but after repeated comparisons, Changkong Luo realized that he had been unknowingly influenced by the ferocious beast.

Such repeated comparisons are not difficult, after all, a great many people were taking the medication at the time, and there were even those who took it beyond the recommended dosage.

No one bothered to investigate what Zhang Xuezhou had given everyone. Firstly, they had already taken the food; secondly, Zhang Xuezhou had made a prior statement; and thirdly, everyone was currently relying on Zhang Xuezhou for manpower and resources, and was extremely dependent on logistics.

"Lao Luo, was this dangerous trip really worth it?"

It was already dark, but the group did not stop to camp. Instead, they continued their journey, while some chose to take a short rest to ensure they had enough energy for the night.

Zuo Lianguang slept for fifteen minutes. After waking up, he chased for less than a hundred meters before rejoining the team.

Looking at Changkong Luo, who was at the forefront, vigilant yet weary, Zuo Lianguang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Injuries and setbacks are not terrible; Zuo Lianguang fears more is falling into the chaos of his twilight years.

Even now, Zhong Rang and the others are still unconscious, becoming a burden to the team. They can only lie on the ground and are moved from time to time depending on the distance the team has traveled.

No one wants to end up like that, Zuo Lianguang was also afraid that if he fell into ruin, he would have no choice but to leave it to fate.

"If you can make it through, it's worth it; if you can't, it's not!"

Changkong Luo whispered.

For Changkong Luo of the Seventh Sequence, he does not need the extract of ferocious beasts.

But as the leader of the old mansion, he had no choice but to participate in this hunt, putting him in a difficult position.

"At least we can put up a fight against normal ferocious beasts, but that hairless tiger they're talking about is too terrifying. It can cause brain chaos without making a sound," Zuo Lianguang muttered.

"Aren't Sequence Holder like this? Besides, that hairless tiger beast has huge flaws," Changkong Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Haoran could scratch it, so if we catch it even once, it will die too!"

"I can't even imagine what kind of ferocious beast it was in disguise!"

After being comforted by Changkong Luo, Zuo Lianguang felt a little better, but he still muttered to himself.

"Who knows?" Changkong Luo replied in a low voice, "I can only be thankful that their camouflage is only enough to blend into a tiger pack, and not to disguise themselves as rocks and vegetation, making them impossible to guard against!"

So, does that mean their camouflage abilities have been misdeveloped?

The searchlight beams shone in all directions, relentlessly searching for any tiger stripes that might be hiding.

Changkong Luo still doesn't understand why these ferocious beasts evolved into this form, but he accepts that it was a small accident during the evolution of biological genes.

What he found hard to bear was that the ferocious beast actually possessed a type of mental intimidation ability, which is Sequence Holder relatively rare development among human beings.

Despite Ren Yisheng's various strengths, apart from the relatively powerful Ren Household and Montes Arthur of the Sixth Sequence, few other practitioners who develop spiritual deterrence fighting techniques have a great reputation.

If one can repeatedly defeat elderly high- Sequence Holder through mental manipulation, this is already extremely impressive, and the level is no less than that of Ren Yisheng.

Being secretly watched by such an opponent is undoubtedly extremely stressful.

After a brief conversation with Zuo Lianguang, Changkong Luo couldn't help but look back.

At the very back of the procession, the white elephant beast that Ren Yisheng needed was already lying down, with Zhou Rihui trying hard to lift its rear end, while Ren Yisheng kept chanting near the white elephant, attempting to get it to get up and walk.

"Ruru... Roar!"

A low, muffled sound came from the broken trunk of the white elephant, Changkong Luo quickly shone his searchlight in the direction of the sound.

After the snake king's enormous body came into view in the distance, Changkong Luo quickly shifted the direction of the searchlight.

"The Snake King has also broken ties with them, and is equally adept at taking advantage of others. No Tiger dares to launch a sneak attack in this area!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered something under his breath, seemingly bored.

Using the light from the Changkong Luo, he waved to the Snake King, who responded with a low, muffled murmur.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that his relationship with the Snake King was quite harmonious at the moment, but his lack of communication skills left Zhang Xuezhou helpless.

It's difficult to entrust social interactions to others. Ren Yisheng can help with communication, but his way of expressing Ren Yisheng is very different from Zhang Xuezhou's, making it difficult to communicate effectively.

Once everything that needed to be said has been said and everything that needed to be demonstrated has been done, the possibility of Zhang Xuezhou communicating with him personally in the future has been completely eliminated.

His gaze swept towards the snake pit, then he touched the large tuberous herbs in his left and right pockets, withdrawing his distracting thoughts.

"When do you think the hairless tiger will launch a sneak attack?" Ren Yisheng asked in a low voice.

"If it is conservative in nature, it will likely have to leave the snake king's range of at least twenty miles," Zhang Xuezhou said.

What if it's not conservative?

"A reckless and impulsive action without any sense of strategy will prevent anyone from accurately assessing the time and distance involved!"

Zhang Xuezhou had personally faced the hairless tiger, a ferocious beast that would relentlessly pursue and kill if it could defeat him, and immediately flee if it couldn't. Zhang Xuezhou didn't think the hairless tiger would have such audacity.

Many in the team were worried about the mangy tiger beast attacking at night, but Zhang Xuezhou was more concerned about the beast that had transformed into a tiger cub.

This ferocious beast is the smallest in size, but also the most violent. It excels at leaping and striking, throwing, and escaping, and possesses the ability to kill from a distance.

This allowed Zhang Xuezhou to get extremely close to the white elephant's head, using the elephant as much as possible for cover and to avoid being attacked by the ferocious beast.

"Ah!"

Around midnight, Zhang Xuezhou heard Changkong Luo, who was leading the way with a searchlight, let out an extremely high-pitched cry of pain.

This caused Zhang Xuezhou to leap to his feet.

As he swept the light of his flashlight across the area, he saw rocks tumbling down from the top of the stone forest, with Changkong Luo, who was at the forefront, being the first to be attacked.

Although the Changkong Luo, which had a protective layer, didn't kill him, he was inevitably hurt and his body was thrown more than ten meters away by the rock, which was about the size of a human head.

While the pain was one aspect, the fact that Changkong Luo was attacked was equally correct.

"At the top of the mountain!"

Changkong hero, sword in hand, leaped into the air. Among the many scattered lights, only the dim light shining upwards was the most accurate.

Using the light, Changkong Kong Yinghao saw long-armed creatures above the stone forest hurling stones downwards with great force and speed.

If the first blow hadn't landed on the lantern-carrying Changkong Luo, anyone else who took a hit would have been either killed or seriously injured.

"Damn it, how did it get up there!"

Changkong Kong Yinghao cursed angrily, looking helpless as he held a long sword. Changkong Kong Yinglian then abandoned the ferocious beast she was leading and, as she ran, quickly pulled Changkong Luo away from the searchlight's beam.

"I'll go up and fight it!"

Near Zhang Xuezhou, Zhou Rihui shouted after confirming the news.

He waved his arms repeatedly, sprinted dozens of meters, and then leaped into the air with a powerful stomp of his feet, soaring upwards like a great bird.

As he stomped on the stone, Zhou Rihui's body grew even taller, continuously charging towards the ferocious beast atop the stone forest.

What kind of gene therapy drug can make something fly like that?

"Were they those strange drugs that Zhou Yueyan concocted?"

Zuo Lianguang and Qin Zhong whispered to each other and quickly used the lamplight to survey their surroundings.

Chimmon Hagrid also jumped up in surprise and looked around, wary of another sudden mental attack from the hairless tiger.

Then Zhang Xuezhou lifted Song Xianzong's heavy spear and fired it directly at the mountaintop, Wang Haoran, after vaguely discerning the direction, launched his own flying blade.

Night had fallen, and the group had traveled three or four miles from the snake's lair. The beast's sneak attack and counterattack had clearly begun at this moment.
