Chapter 175: Jade Eyed White-browed Tiger
In front of the camp, although it was already night, no one dared to rest.
Although the invasion of the ferocious beasts just now was quickly resolved and no damage was caused, everyone knew that they were attacked on only the first day and the journey afterwards would probably not be smooth.
After Yan Hongyuan returned to the camp with the corpse of the Black Miao Beast Taming Mountain monk, this news cast a dark cloud over everyone's head.
"How did we get into trouble with these people? We have always kept our distance from them."
A burly monk among the crowd of onlookers said.
His name is Wei Xingwu. He is one of the cultivators who have reached the perfection of the Soul Realm and was hired by Huang's Trading Company at a great cost. He has always had a close relationship with Huang's Trading Company, so he did not understand.
"You don't have to offend them. The people in Yushou Mountain occasionally take on some private jobs. It's not surprising to receive money for doing the job."
Shen Tong, who was covered in a black robe, spoke from the side.
In order to conceal their identities, she and Shen Chan did not show their true faces. Except for Manager Huang and several core monks of the caravan, no one knew their identities and everyone thought they were masters invited by the caravan.
"It seems like we have to be extremely alert along the way. Since we're being targeted by those guys, we can't make any mistakes, no matter how small."
Shen Tong said helplessly, and then he seemed to think of something, his eyelids jumped, and then he shouted loudly: "Oh no, we have to leave here quickly!"
When Manager Huang heard this, he was about to ask why, but he heard a roar from the dense forest in the east, and then it seemed that countless wind blades burst out from the forest, cutting the dense forest into pieces.
The monks stationed in the dense forest were howling miserably, as if the forest was full of hellish ghosts.
After a while, the captain who was previously assigned to guard there staggered out with countless wounds on his body, and his right arm was broken at the shoulder and disappeared without a trace.
"Bi, green-eyed white-browed tiger!" said the temporary captain with fear on his face.
"A third-level fierce beast, the Jade Eyed White-browed Tiger?"
Wei Xingwu asked back after hearing this, then took a step forward and rushed towards the dense forest in the east.
Having said that, the classification of the levels of evil spirits is largely based on the strength level of the ferocious beasts.
The strength of this third-level ferocious beast is equivalent to that of a third-level evil spirit, and this green-eyed and white-browed tiger is the best among the third-level beasts, with its innate wind-based magic being extremely powerful.
Although the temporary captain had the strength of five spirits, he was accidentally ambushed by the enemy and was lucky to be able to survive.
Wei Xingwu rushed into the dense forest, and soon the sound of fierce fighting broke out in the forest.
Inside the camp, Shen Tong, who was shrouded in a black robe, said, "Boss Huang, we have to get our men out of here quickly."
"Saint Aunt, it's probably even more dangerous to travel this late at night."
"We have to leave, these third-level ferocious beasts are out!" Shen Tong's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
"You mean to say that this Jade Eyed White Forehead Tiger was summoned by the Beast Taming Mountain, but it is a third-level fierce beast. Doesn't that mean they sent cultivators above the Earth Soul Realm?"
When Shopkeeper Huang thought of this, his face turned pale instantly.
“That’s not the case, they just took advantage of it.
The attack just launched by the Beast Taming Mountain was not intended to cause any harm to us, but to use the bloody aura to attract more powerful beasts.
You smell the blood in the air now. Just as I expected, the green-eyed white-browed tiger is wild, but it was lured here by them using the smell of blood.
And it is impossible for them to use such an insidious method to attract only one beast. There is a high probability that there are other beasts heading to the camp under their guidance. "
As if to confirm Shen Tong's words, as soon as she finished speaking, a roar of a ferocious beast came from the slope on the south side. Judging from the beast's aura, it seemed to be at least a third-level beast.
"Manager Huang, give the order and leave here immediately."
After saying that, Shen Tong flicked her sleeves and rushed towards the southern slope. She wanted to subdue the ferocious beast before it caused more casualties.
Qi Jinsong, another master in the caravan who had reached the peak of the Soul Realm, also rushed over.
The sound of fighting arose, and Shen Tong's Wan Tu Gui Liu Jue rolled up the dust in the sky and turned it into a ball of earth. Then the ball of earth turned into a cage and trapped the ferocious beast inside.
Qi Jinsong's soul soldier was holding an iron rod. Seeing the ferocious beast trapped, he quickly took the iron rod and poked it into the cage through the gap.
After a fierce fight that lasted about half an incense stick of time, the two third-level ferocious beasts were killed.
Back at the camp, Manager Huang had already organized his men to pack up the caravan and was just waiting for the order to set off again in the dark.
“Saint Aunt, in this attack on Beast Taming Mountain, we lost a total of twelve monks, and one was seriously injured.
Should we continue to move forward in the dark, or should we return to Shanmen Village to rest and replenish our manpower before we set out again?"
After his subordinates collected the damage report, Manager Huang asked Shen Tong with a very grim expression.
"Return? How to return?
If I'm not mistaken, those who just died were basically the monks you temporarily recruited in Shanmen Village.
Haha, once the team returns, these temporary recruits will definitely run away. If you still want to recruit more people, it’s good enough that you can keep these now.
Let’s continue on our journey.”
Shen Tong's face was hidden in the black veil, and it was impossible to tell whether his expression was calm or ugly.
A few thousand meters away, two monks dressed in Miao costumes gathered together.
"Hehe, that guy Hei Que was killed accidentally!"
"Well, that's a waste. He can't even hide properly. He deserves to be killed."
"Okay, do you know the combat power over there?"
“Of course, after the attack from three waves of first-level beasts and two green-eyed white-browed tigers, the combat power they have shown now shows that there are probably three people who have reached the Perfect Soul Realm, and their strength is not weak.
There are also about three people who have opened six souls, and the rest are just some small fry. It seems that there should be no masters of the Earth Soul Realm in their team. "
"Very good, that's about what we estimated before, but it's best not to take it lightly."
"If you're worried, I'll use the Gu bird to observe again."
After he finished speaking, the man made a hand gesture and somewhere on his arm suddenly swelled up like a centipede, as if there was a poisonous insect living inside.
At the same moment, a bird perched on a branch suddenly trembled, and its pupils instantly turned from black to gray.
Afterwards, the scene in the camp was completely transmitted to the eyes of the Black Miao monk through the vision of the little bird.
The so-called Black Miao Beast Taming Mountain does not mean that they are good at taming beasts. On the contrary, they are still good at taming poisonous insects unique to the Miao people.
However, what they are good at is controlling ferocious beasts through poisonous insects, or turning ferocious beasts into zombies to fight.
Most outsiders don't understand the trick. They only know that the Black Miao Beast Taming Mountain usually kills people through the actions of ferocious beasts, and they think that what they are good at is taming ferocious beasts.
The people at the Beast Taming Mountain were naturally happy to see this misunderstanding and would not explain it.
At this time, everyone in Huang's Trading Company thought that as long as they evacuated, they could temporarily escape the pursuit of the ferocious beasts. However, they did not know that at this moment, their every move was under the surveillance of others.
