Chapter 113 Raid on the Search Team
Chapter 113 Raid on the Search Team
"A search party has appeared ahead!" Wu Ren lowered his voice, his eyes warily fixed on the distance, and whispered to the people behind him, "The leader is a huge fire wolf that is engulfed in raging flames."
A flying centipede with a body several meters long, winding and dancing in the air;
And an ice bat with frosty wings, radiating a chilling aura.
Behind them followed six robust level-two iron-eating beasts. In addition, two level-one savage beasts—armored eagles—were circling and soaring in the sky.
There's a Celestial Beast lurking in the group. I think it's best if we quietly circle around it.
After saying this, Wu Ren carefully moved back to the bushes where the others were hiding, and lowered his voice to a whisper.
Upon hearing Wu Ren's report, Kuang Zheng did not respond immediately.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing his mind to carefully sense his surroundings once again.
After a moment, he thought to himself: The nearest search team is 500 miles away. If we raise an alarm here, they can indeed come to our aid quickly.
However, if we can catch them off guard and quickly subdue the three leading beasts, preventing them from sending out alarm signals, then the chances of successfully annihilating the search team in front of us will greatly increase.
With that in mind, Kuang Zheng cautiously checked the surroundings once more to ensure there were no other potential dangers. After thoroughly investigating, he shared his thoughts…
The current situation is favorable to them. The Fire Wolf is a genuine Level 3 Savage Beast, and if they launch a surprise attack, Kuang Zheng is confident that he can take it down without it giving any warning.
Although the Flying Centipede is known as a Level 3 beast, its true strength is not even comparable to that of a typical Level 2 peak beast.
It is called a level three beast entirely because of its elusive and deadly poison.
However, the venom in its mouth needs time to brew. If a surprise attack can be launched, Wu Ren can kill it before it releases the venom.
The remaining ice bats were even weaker; their level three cultivation relied entirely on their bizarre flight and ability to unleash ice.
If it were on the ground, it couldn't even defeat a typical mid-level second-tier savage beast.
Given Ying Yue's strength, it's highly likely she'll take it down if she suddenly makes a move.
Of course, all of this is only under the condition of not alerting the other side. If any of the beasts reacts, they will be surrounded.
At that point, the balance of power will shift dramatically, and the prey will become the hunter in the blink of an eye!
Therefore, Ying Yue frowned, her face showing worry, and said softly, "If we are unfortunately entangled by those guys, we are very likely to be surrounded. Now the entire wilderness is full of search teams. Once we are surrounded, we will probably be like turtles in a jar, with no chance of escape."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ren was somewhat tempted, but he also knew that Ying Yue's worries were not unfounded.
Therefore, he remained silent, neither expressing opposition nor actively agreeing.
However, Kuang Zheng insisted on his own ideas.
His gaze was sharp, and he spoke with a heavy heart: "Yue'er's concerns are not without reason. However, the only way out for us right now is to do everything we can to replenish our energy. Only in this way can we possibly escape from this encirclement."
Otherwise, even if we manage to escape this time, the enemy will eventually discover us.
After these past few days of hiding and fleeing, our reserves of beast cores have been completely depleted. If we don't replenish them quickly, and if we are surrounded by the enemy, we won't even have the strength to resist. Therefore, I strongly advocate taking action!
Kuang Zheng's words struck the three men like a heavy hammer blow, revealing the harsh reality they were facing.
Despite their careful maneuvering, they successfully evaded the pursuit of dozens of search teams in the past few days.
However, close combat was inevitable, and as a result, the spiritual energy within the individuals was rapidly decreasing.
Moreover, as time goes on, the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and danger is approaching step by step.
However, worryingly, the beast cores these people carried had already been completely used up.
If they cannot obtain new supplies in time, then even if the search team continues to surround them step by step, they will eventually be able to force them to show themselves.
Once that time comes, they won't even have a chance to resist.
The thought of such terrible consequences made all three of them tense.
Although the situation is dangerous at the moment, if the plan succeeds, their predicament will be greatly alleviated.
After exchanging quick glances, they soon reached a consensus—they had to act decisively!
Having made up their minds to take action, the group immediately began to adjust their state to ensure that they could unleash their strongest power when they made their move.
They held their breath and silently circulated their spiritual energy rapidly like a surging torrent.
At the same time, pairs of sharp eyes were fixed on the approaching search team.
The search team was completely unaware that danger was lurking nearby...
Perhaps due to low morale caused by the lack of progress over the past few days, or perhaps due to overconfidence in the area leading to complacency, the entire team appeared unusually disorganized and completely lacked the necessary vigilance.
Sudden! !
Without any warning, the entire group strode straight toward the bushes where the three were hiding!
This sudden turn of events made their hearts race, and their hearts leaped into their throats.
Seeing that they were about to be exposed, the three of them were even prepared to fight to the death.
But at that moment, an unexpected scene unfolded: the ferocious fire wolf, as if guided by some mysterious force, collapsed to the ground with a thud, its crimson tongue exposed without any regard for its appearance.
Immediately afterwards, the Flying Centipede, which is always extremely fast and agile, also flew down and stood close to the Fire Wolf.
What's even more astonishing is that the ice bats, which usually like to hang upside down, have surprisingly abandoned their unique posture and are now casually huddled together with the other two giant beasts.
It turned out that the three wild beasts, due to their continuous searching and the hot weather, had simply lay down to rest.
The place where they pounced was only two meters away from the bushes where the three were hiding. If the Fire Wolf hadn't suddenly lay down, the three would have been tempted to attack.
Upon seeing this scene, the iron-eating beast was overjoyed and so excited that it collapsed onto the ground.
It must have been tired, because when it saw the three leading beasts resting, it immediately lay down on the spot.
This is simply a blessing from heaven!!!
It's like someone just delivered a pillow when you're about to doze off.
Just moments ago, they were racking their brains trying to lure these wild beasts to the vicinity as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, the other party came to their doorstep the next second.
At this moment, Kuang Zheng even wondered if he had some kind of cheat code.
Regardless, the opportunity has arrived!!
As the saying goes, "If you don't take what Heaven gives you, you will surely suffer the consequences!"
Kuang Zheng and his men would never let go of such easy prey, nor would they have the bad habit of not eating meat.
So they quickly exchanged glances and launched a surprise attack simultaneously with perfect coordination!
