When it was dying, it still unwillingly stabbed Su Baoer with its sharp claws, but a figure as tall as a mountain had already blocked Su Baoer's way. The huge hammer smashed down heavily, and the Iron-backed Saber-toothed Tiger's head tilted, bleeding from all seven orifices, and fell to the ground with a bang, never to live again.
There was dead silence all around.
Everyone, including all the strange beasts, were stunned.
"Nine Heavens, Stars Fall." Mu Hanyan waved his sword and attacked the strange beasts again.
Although these strange beasts are not as powerful as the Iron-backed Sabre-toothed Tiger, there are many of them. If she is surrounded, she will not be able to deal with them easily.
However, her worries were obviously unnecessary. With the intelligence of the alien beasts being no less than that of humans, after seeing the tragic deaths of the two iron-backed saber-toothed tigers and other companions, how could they not know how terrifying Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu were? With a panicked roar, all the alien beasts turned around and fled.
In just a moment, apart from the corpses of the strange beasts that died under Mu Hanyan's sword and Gao Wei's tiger hammer, there was no other strange beast in sight.
A breeze blew by, dispelling the thick smell of blood, and there was peace in the wilderness.
"We are not dead, we are not dead." After an unknown amount of time, a young priest let out a cheer of ecstasy.
"We are saved, we are not dead." The other priests also shouted to the sky and even shed tears of joy.
But when they saw their companions who died tragically on the spot and the bright red blood, all their joy disappeared and their faces were filled with sadness.
Those are hundreds of living lives. Not long ago, they were drinking and chatting with them, laughing and playing, but now they have lost their lives forever, lying on this isolated land.
Yuan Xiangzhi was still sitting there in a daze, as if he had not yet come to his senses.
"Look at what you have done!" Zheng Anze's long-suppressed anger finally erupted. He pointed at Yuan Xiangzhi and roared with his whole body trembling.
The others also turned to look at Yuan Xiangzhi, all with expressions of contempt and anger.
It was because of his desertion that the formation was broken, causing the deaths of nearly a hundred companions! If it weren't for his identity as the son of the Left Priest, they would have wanted to kill him.
After being scolded by Zheng Anze, Yuan Xiangzhi finally regained some consciousness. Seeing the cold corpses around him, his face turned pale. He suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
"Alas..." Zheng Anze sighed. Seeing Yuan Xiangzhi like this, he couldn't curse him anymore.
"Let's cremate them first." Zheng Anze said to everyone.
Soon, flames rose up and the cold corpses turned into ashes in the flames.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Weihu extracted five-colored soul beads from the bodies of the exotic beasts. The more powerful the exotic beast, the more colorful soul beads it condensed. Not to mention the other exotic beasts, he actually extracted a full twenty five-colored soul beads from the two iron-backed saber-toothed tigers. However, the surrounding atmosphere was so desolate that he felt no joy as he collected the spoils.
Mu Hanyan also had a solemn expression. Although they had never met before and had no interaction at all, she felt uncomfortable seeing such a vibrant life disappear before her eyes.
Compared to others, she actually cherishes and respects life more.
"If we had tried our best to kill the other iron-backed saber-toothed tiger earlier, perhaps so many people would not have died." Mu Hanyan couldn't help but think secretly.
But she couldn't be blamed for this. She never thought that Yuan Xiangzhi would be so incompetent and desert the battlefield at such a critical moment, so that the originally good situation turned around in an instant, and even she didn't react.
This guy is simply a disaster! Mu Hanyan looked at Yuan Xiangzhi, who was crying with his head in his hands, and felt even more contempt in her heart.
"Master Priest Mu, thanks to you and Lord Gao for your help, otherwise we would have died. Thank you very much." Zheng Anze came to Mu Hanyan, bowed and said gratefully.
He could see that although Gao Weihu was eager to fight, he was still much weaker than Mu Hanyan in terms of strength. It was mainly due to Mu Hanyan that they were rescued.
"Sir Zheng, there's no need to be so polite." Mu Hanyan helped Zheng Anze up.
In fact, with Zheng Anze's strength, he might have had a chance to escape before, but he stayed resolutely for Su Baoer. Although it was his duty, the situation was critical at the time, and it was Yuan Xiangzhi who caused the trouble. Even if he escaped alone, Su Baoer's father and clansmen could not do anything to him, so Mu Hanyan still had a good impression of this old priest who was loyal to his duty and kept his promises.
"You all must remember that you were able to survive this experience thanks to the help of Chief Priest Mu and Lord Gao. Don't forget this kindness and do anything ungrateful, otherwise I, Zheng Anze, will never forgive you." Zheng Anze stood up and said to the other priests.
"We will never forget the life-saving grace of Chief Priest Mu and Lord Gao. We will go through fire and water for you two in the future." The priests of the Temple of Light said loudly.
Yuan Xiangzhi finally stopped wailing, raised his head, and looked at everyone in surprise. However, this time he said nothing more, his face showing a thoughtful look.
"Chief Priest Mu, this Black Wood Prison is far more dangerous than the legend says. In my opinion, it would be better to leave early, or return to the vicinity of the teleportation formation to train. Even if you encounter some difficult-to-deal-with danger, it will still be in time to leave." Zheng Anze said to Mu Hanyan again.
"Master Zheng, please go ahead. I have some things to do, so I won't be going with you," Mu Hanyan politely declined. She was still hoping to heal Liuguang's bloodline, and if possible, restore the Ancient Tree of Life. Of course, she couldn't easily retreat because of such a small obstacle.
"That's fine. We'll say goodbye first. By the way, I'll take Miss Su with me." Zheng Anze did not insist.
He knew that with Mu Hanyan's strength, even if she couldn't travel freely in the Black Wood Prison, she wouldn't be in too much danger. Instead, they would be a burden if they followed her.
However, after escaping death this time, he would never dare to let Su Baoer wander around in the Black Wood Prison again. Her strength was still a little too weak.
"Baoer, go with Lord Zheng and the others." Mu Hanyan advised.
What she was going to do was too dangerous, and it was indeed not safe for Su Baoer to follow her. Although the Temple of Light had lost hundreds of priests, there were still more than 300 people left. As long as they formed a divine sword formation, they would have no problem protecting themselves. Just don't let Yuan Xiangzhi get involved.
"Okay." Su Bao'er didn't hesitate this time. After experiencing life and death, she had become much more mature. She knew that if she continued to act willfully, she would likely bring trouble to Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu.
