Seeing Rong Jian about to leave, Rong Chi sneered and stepped forward to block him: "My second cousin, you'd better not run around in this Tiger Power Forest. Follow me, or you won't get hurt by some blind monster."
Rong Jian remained silent, his eyes cold.
"We agreed to protect you, second cousin." Rong Chi acted like a good brother and patted Rong Jian on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. I promise to bring you home safely."
Covering me? Protecting me? Clearly, he had noticed that he had already started practicing, and he didn't want him to go through trials and tribulations alone, gathering resources.
Lowering his eyes, Rong Jian walked around him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, cousin, but it's not necessary."
"Hey, cousin, how could you be like this?" Rong Chi suddenly grabbed Rong Jian's wrist and threw him back with force. "Cousin, I'm helping you out of good intentions, and this is how you treat me?"
Is he sure to get what he wants... Rong Jian bit his lip and looked at Rong Chi with anger in his eyes. He felt that he could no longer bear it.
But at this moment, Fu above her head transmitted a voice: "Xiao Jianjian, there's movement behind us, it's very loud... Wait, listen to my instructions."
Movement? What movement? Rong Jian was stunned for a moment, suppressing the anger in his heart again.
It's not the right time yet. He is not strong enough to step on these people.
Seeing that Rong Jian had chosen to surrender again, Rong Chi curled his lips and smiled. He had been in contact with this cousin for so many years and naturally understood him.
He would feel unfair and angry, but he also understood what it meant to be a wise man who knew the current situation. So, no matter how much he went too far, Rong Jian would choose to endure it.
This is the sorrow of the weak!
"Right, that's right." Patting Rong Jian on the shoulder, Rong Chi walked back with a smile and instructed the others, "Clear a piece of open space and set up camp."
Just as he finished speaking, bursts of animal roars suddenly came from the back, from the direction of the center of the Huwei Forest. Looking up, he saw a cloud of flying smoke filling the air above the trees.
"What's going on?" Rong Chi's face froze. He moved his feet, flew up and landed on the crown of a tree, looking into the distance.
However, before he could see clearly, the ground suddenly began to shake, and all the surrounding trees began to sway.
"What's going on?"
“I don’t know…”
"Boss, didn't you find anything?"
Several Rong family disciples were bewildered and full of doubts.
Rong Chi did not answer, his eyes fixed on the distance, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
He saw a group of unknown bird spirits wandering around in the sky, flapping their wings and chirping sharply, then suddenly gathered together and rushed towards a man flying with a sword.
The man turned around and threw out a talisman, which blew the surrounding bird spirit beasts into pieces, but the next second, more bird spirit beasts pounced on them and submerged them.
Rong Chi swallowed unconsciously, a trace of fear flashing across his face.
But at this moment, several figures suddenly flashed from a distance, running away quickly, their expressions full of panic.
Rong Chi restrained his expression, jumped down from the tree, and stopped someone: "Excuse me..." What exactly happened over there? Those spirit beasts...
The man was interrupted before he could finish his words. He looked back in fear with an anxious look on his face. "The spirit beasts have gone crazy, running around and attacking humans. You should also run away quickly, or it will be too late!"
After saying that, regardless of Rong Chi's reaction, he bypassed him and ran away, his movements extremely fast.
"...Go, go! It might be a beast tide!"
Rong Chi called out to everyone and took the lead in retreating towards the outside of the forest. He roughly understood what had happened. A beast tide... This thing that had never appeared in the four cities had appeared so easily!
We must escape, and escape as soon as possible! Staying here means death!
Upon hearing this, the other Rong family disciples all looked solemn and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed.
Rong Jian was about to take a step forward when he was interrupted by Fu.
Fu tugged at Rong Jian's hair, her voice hinting with helplessness. "Don't follow them. Go left and run as fast as you can."
"Fu?" Rong Jian was puzzled. It was already this time, why didn't he run away?
He knew about the beast tide. Although he had never actually seen it, he had seen it in some books.
The spiritual beasts are aroused to their ferocity, losing their rationality, and only have the instinct to fight left. These spiritual beasts will gather together and continuously attack in one direction. Wherever they pass, the cultivators will retreat.
So, at a time like this, shouldn't he run after her? Or stay and wait to be trampled to death by the spirit beast's hooves?
"Be obedient, move to the left!" Fu raised his hand and patted Rong Jian on the head, with a stern tone in his voice.
"Why?" Rong Jian asked as he quickly turned around and rushed to the left.
Even though he didn't know the reason, he still chose to believe Fu, even though this decision meant gambling his own life.
Fu was silent for a moment, squatting on top of Rong Jian's head and sighing softly.
After discussing with the Tiger King, she decided to make some noise, but not something this big! A beast tide... Ugh, has the Tiger King gone crazy?
According to their original plan, after she brought the cub into the forest and sent out the signal for action, the Tiger King would arrange a third-level monster to run to the periphery to cause trouble.
Then she chased the kid, forcing him onto the path she had arranged in advance. After a desperate run, he accidentally fell into a strange cave, and then this and that happened...
This is the adventure plan for the little brat that she designed after referring to many storybooks!
Finally, Tiger King, can you tell me how this beast tide got so big? If she can't protect it alone, what will happen if the cubs die?
This baby brought the cub into the forest to have an adventure, not to lose his life!
Fu sniffed, feeling a wave of sadness, and then she plucked...
"Hiss..." His hair was suddenly pulled, and his scalp hurt. Rong Jian couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Fu! What are you doing?"
It's fine if you don't let him escape, and it's fine if he doesn't answer questions, but can't you just stay on his head? Why are you pulling his hair every time you disagree with him?!
"Ah... Sorry, I didn't notice." Fu had a cold face and tone, and his attitude was extremely perfunctory.
Rong Jian felt so angry that his heart ached. Could this spirit be more reliable?
Sighing deeply again, Fu said, "You want to know why I didn't let you escape? Little Jianjian, you have to understand one thing. The others fled out of the forest because they were fast and could leave before the beast tide arrived. What about you?"
Fu didn't need to say anything else, Rong Jian understood. His speed was too slow, and he might not be able to outrun the beast tide... Ultimately, it was because his cultivation was too low.
Rong Jian pursed his lips, the desire to become stronger growing stronger. Weakness is the original sin, meaning you can only be like an ant, being bullied, trampled on, and even easily lose your life!
