"Master, we've been walking for so long, why do these stone steps seem to have no end?" Xiong Xixi said breathlessly.
The little guy had already sensed something was wrong, and he had even left marks along the way. When he saw the marks he had left again, he knew that he was just going around in circles and had not left the place at all!
"Are we trapped here?" the little guy asked, frowning.
"I also sensed something was wrong, but how do we get out of here now?" the white wolf said, slightly out of breath.
"Here, take the torch and stand here without moving. I need to prove that we're not just going around in circles!" The little guy handed Xiong Xixi a torch and gave her the instructions.
"Master, what should I do if you don't come back here?" Xiong Xixi asked with some fear.
"Flower Wolf, you and Xiong Xixi are here together, we might meet again soon!" The little guy saw that Xiong Xixi looked scared, and then asked Flower Wolf to stay.
"Alright! You can go now!" The wolf readily agreed, then took the torch and watched his master and companions slowly disappear into the darkness.
"Xiong Xixi, do you have to be so timid? What's there to be afraid of here? It's just a bit dark and a little quiet. Look at you, you're really embarrassing our team!" Hua Lang looked at Xiong Xixi with disdain and mocked her.
"I... I'm not as capable or strong as you, so it's normal for me to be afraid. If I were as strong and powerful as you, I wouldn't be afraid at all!" Xiong Xixi said weakly.
"Hmph! Don't be afraid! What are you afraid of? I'm here! No surprises, the masters have already left. Take down that bag of jerky, I'm hungry, I want to eat jerky!" Now Xiong Xixi finally understands why this wolf stayed with her. It wasn't for her sake at all, but to steal food, making her feel all touched for nothing.
"No! Master said we can't steal any. Besides, there's not much left in the bag. If we're trapped here, we don't know how long we can last. So I can't give it to you. What will happen to the rest of our companions if you finish it?" Xiong Xixi looked at the wolf with a wary expression, then tightly clutched the bag of jerky in her arms.
"Tch, if you don't want to, fine. But look at you, really!" Hua Lang was very annoyed when he saw Xiong Xixi's guarded expression. It seemed that Xiong Xixi had seen through his little scheme.
The little guy continued walking up the stone steps with the other four wolves. It was pitch black all around, and apart from the stone steps, there seemed to be nothing at all.
Two hours later,
The little ones could vaguely see a faint light ahead. They looked at each other and then slowly began to approach the light.
Gradually, the firelight ahead became clearer and clearer. Apart from a torch stuck in the stone steps, Xiong Xixi and Hua Lang were nowhere to be seen!
"What's going on?" The white wolf looked at the torch stuck in the crack of the stone steps, then cautiously looked around!
"They've already been captured by the creatures hiding here!" the little guy said coldly.
As soon as the little guy stepped onto the stone steps, he saw the creatures hidden in the darkness. He knew where the exit was, but he pretended not to see them. He just wanted to see if these creatures would attack him. So he circled around a few times and left his two companions there as bait. Unexpectedly, these creatures actually took the bait.
The little guy was very anxious as he watched his two companions, Flower Wolf and Bear Xixi, being subdued by a group of creatures. Seeing his companions not far away, he had no chance to warn them. However, he was pinned down by these creatures and had no chance to shout or move!
The little guy glanced around and saw that his two little brothers were not in any immediate danger, so he ignored them and told the gray wolves to search for them while he pretended to search for his little brothers as well.
"It seems this little devil is nothing in here! Should we just pin him down here?"
"I feel it's worth it. Even if I can't find the ancestor, if I can get rid of these scourges here, then my trip will have been worthwhile!"
"I agree! We were driven to desperation by these scourges, which is why we came here and faced death. As long as we kill them here, we can find a way to leave and return to the forest outside. Whether our ancestors are here or not is no longer important!"
A group of creatures began plotting to ambush the little guy and his gang. Once they got rid of this little devil, they could return to their old lives!
"Okay! Everyone get ready. Once we lure them here, we'll all attack together!"
"Master, where are you?" Xiong Xixi's voice suddenly rang out from the darkness.
"Master, it's Xiong Xixi! We're coming right now!" After hearing Xiong Xixi's voice, the white wolf was about to rush towards the source of the sound when its master stopped it!
"Master, Xiong Xixi is over there, why won't you let me go over?" The white wolf looked at its master with some confusion.
"You must have misheard. Where did Xiong Xixi come from? I didn't hear anything," the little guy said, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
"I clearly heard Xiong Xixi's voice, it wasn't far from us, our master couldn't have missed it, right? Did you hear it too?" White Wolf asked, looking at his companions beside him.
"I...I didn't hear it either!" Gray Wolf glanced at his master and said. Although he had heard Xiong Xixi's shouts, his master's statement that he hadn't heard them meant there must be a reason.
"I didn't hear it either!" Sirius glanced at Gray Wolf, then echoed that he hadn't heard it either.
The wolf shook its head, indicating that it hadn't heard either.
This made the white wolf doubt himself. Was he hallucinating because he had been here for too long?
"Master! I'm here, come quickly! I've figured out how to get out of here!" Just as the white wolf was still seriously doubting himself, Xiong Xixi's voice rang out again!
This time, the white wolf didn't make a sound. He watched as his master and companions acted as if they hadn't heard anything at all, and continued to search for Xiong Xixi and Hua Lang with torches. He didn't say that he had heard anything either, but simply moved silently toward the place where Xiong Xixi had made the sound!
"What do we do now? It seems like they're not falling for it at all. Only one of them is walking this way. Should we make a move?"
All living beings saw that only the white wolf was walking this way, while the rest were still aimlessly searching for their companions.
"Are they all deaf except for White Wolf?"
"What do we do now? Should we take action?"
The white wolf is getting close to them. If they don't act soon, the white wolf will discover them!
"withdraw"!
The leader of the creatures gritted his teeth and scattered his companions. It was not worth it to be discovered for the sake of a white wolf. It was better to stay here and deal with them, and wait for an opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
"Huh? Am I really hallucinating?" White Wolf looked around and saw nothing. He felt that he really was hallucinating. No wonder his master and companions hadn't heard Xiong Xixi's shouts.
White Wolf looked dejected and returned to his group, where he and his companions began searching for Xiong Xixi and Flower Wolf.
"Ahem, how did those creatures that came in before us manage to get out of here?"
Suddenly, the voice of their master rang in the minds of the four wolves.
"Impossible! We've been wandering around here for so long without finding a way out, how could they possibly get out from here?" Gray Wolf simply didn't believe that any living being could walk out of these stone steps!
"Then, if these creatures didn't go out, why didn't we encounter them?" the little guy asked rhetorically.
"Does the master mean that these creatures are still in here? And hiding somewhere we can't find?" The wolf became very alert and began looking around for anything suspicious.
"No wonder Flower Wolf and Bear Xixi disappeared; it must be related to these creatures hiding in the shadows!" White Wolf said with certainty.
"So what do we do now?" Sirius was also very vigilant, looking around to guard against a sudden attack from creatures hiding in the shadows!
"It's alright! We'll pretend we don't know anything and continue searching for Xiong Xixi and Hua Lang. Once the torches in our hands go out, we'll make our move!" the little guy said.
“Master, what we’re doing is very dangerous. We’re in the open, and they’re in the dark. They can see us, but we can’t see them. We’re in a very passive position. I suggest we put out the torches now and then reconsider. When no one can see us, they won’t have the advantage!” said the wolf.
"If we put out the torches now, they'll definitely think we've discovered them, and that will alert them and make them wary. We need to burn ourselves out so these creatures won't suspect anything, and then Flower Wolf and Bear Xixi won't be in any danger!" the little guy said.
"Yes! We'll listen to our master!" The four wolves felt that their master made sense, and then the whole class waited for their master's command!
The torches gradually went out, and the only glimmer of light on the stone steps disappeared. Apart from the two torches with their red-hot sticks, which flickered like two will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, there was only deathly silence, as if the white wolf and his companions had vanished into the darkness.
Without the torches from the White Wolf's group as a reference point, the creatures hiding in the darkness lost their ability to monitor them. Completely lost and with no idea where the White Wolf and his companions were, they were left in complete darkness!
"Hunting time, officially begins!" The little guy grinned maliciously, then led his four wolves like ghosts through the darkness.
"Does any of you know where they are?"
"have no idea"!
"have no idea"!
"puff"!
A muffled thud, as if something had been ripped apart!
Countless muffled thuds and the sound of bones shattering rang out, sending chills down the spines of these creatures shrouded in darkness, who knew that with each sound, a life was lost! But they had no idea who had suffered the consequences!
The little guy led his four wolves. The little guy walked in front, the white wolf second, the sky wolf third, the evil wolf fourth, and the gray wolf at the very back. As long as their master killed one of the creatures in front, the four wolves behind would start searching the creatures for their belongings! Then they would throw the corpses onto the stone steps...
The little guy led his four wolves to the creatures that had subdued Xiong Xixi and the flower wolf, easily killing them, and then ignoring the creatures still in the darkness, who were on edge like frightened birds.
"Master, is that you?" Xiong Xixi felt a sudden relaxation throughout her body, and it seemed as if all the creatures that had been holding her down had collapsed beside her. Xiong Xixi asked cautiously.
"We've been here too long, it's time to leave!" After rescuing his two little brothers, the little guy went to the exit of the bewitching staircase and left.
"Master, how did you know about the exit inside these stone steps?" the white wolf asked with great curiosity.
"It's not as complicated as you imagine. To put it simply, in this dark environment, the stone steps are made very wide and then shaped like an '8'. The exit is located on the outer stone wall of the steps. Once you see it, you can leave this place!"
"But why haven't we found it after searching for so long?" White Wolf was still a little confused.
"When we came in here, it was pitch black. The torchlight couldn't illuminate very far. Our vision was limited. It was like a normal person being blindfolded. We couldn't tell which way was which. But some creatures, even if you blindfold them, can still see their surroundings clearly. For these creatures, there is no difficulty at all!"
"Can you see even with your eyes covered? How could such a creature exist? It sounds like something out of a fantasy!"
"Do you think they see things with their own eyes like we do?"
"If they don't use eyes to see, do they see with their noses or their mouths?"
"They use their hearts!"
"The heart? Our hearts are all inside, how can they see things outside?"
"Use the eyes of your soul to see the world, and you will find that the world is different from what your eyes see!"
"The Eye of the Mind? What is that? Is it that powerful?"
"Yes, feel everything around you with your heart, and you will discover a different world. We humans call this insightful vision!"
"Insightful eyes? Where are insightful eyes located?"
"On the forehead."
"If I really grew a third eye, wouldn't I become a three-eyed monster? It's better to get rid of this third eye so that my companions won't treat me like a monster and beat me up later!"
"Besides the all-seeing eye, there are also some beings that are born with heterochromatic eyes! These beings are extremely powerful!"
What exactly is heterochromia?
"It's the same pair of eyes, but your eyes can only see these ordinary things, while the eyes of those creatures can see things that everyone else can't. Like now, this place is pitch black, and everyone has to rely on light to see clearly, but these creatures don't need to. Their eyes can see things in the darkness as clearly as we can see in the daytime."
"I know that. Just like lynxes and owls, they can see their prey at night!"
"There are also some people with heterochromia who can see all sorts of creatures that we can't see, and some who can even use their heterochromia to kill their enemies!"
"Master, what you're saying is getting more and more outrageous. If you could really kill an enemy with your eyes, wouldn't that make you invincible?"
"You don't know, there are mountains beyond mountains, and skies beyond skies! You feel very capable, but there may be opponents who are even more capable than you!"
"Master, we're talking about heterochromia right now, why are you bringing up mountains and the sky again?"
"White Wolf! Help me beat this troll ten times! I really can't take it anymore!" The little guy finally couldn't stand the flower wolf anymore and said directly to White Wolf.
"Hehe, I'd be happy to oblige!" After saying that, the white wolf pounced on the flower wolf with a sinister grin...
"Watch out, there seem to be a lot of creatures ahead!" the little guy suddenly exclaimed.
The five wolves and one bear quickly slowed their pace and silently hid under a rock that could conceal them while allowing them to observe the situation ahead.
The countless torches in front illuminated the place brightly, and countless creatures stood there as if discussing something, but they seemed to have reached no conclusion. They must have been arguing because they each held their own opinions.
"I knew it! You old codgers who are usually so afraid of death and greedy, why didn't you hurry into this cave to take refuge in order to escape the little devils outside? It turns out you wanted us to be your stepping stones and pawns. You really are cunning!"
"Hehe, little brat, don't speak so harshly. Aren't we trying to improve your ability to react? If we experienced old men always have to be the first to do everything, how can you little brats experience what thrills and excitement are?"
"Hmph! You make it sound so noble, but all you want is for us to pave the way so you can have a smooth ride here. We've already lost so many comrades to get here, and now you want us to make mistakes for you! Search your conscience, doesn't it hurt?"
"Hmph! You little brats are just a bunch of reckless fools! What good are you besides shouting all day long? We're letting you go down first for your own good! If something happens to us in there, can you think of a way to rescue us right away? We old folks may be a bit cunning, but we've seen more than you've crossed! After all, we're so old, what haven't we seen? Even if something happens to you in there, we can rescue you in time!"
"But I feel that what you mean is that we should go and die first. Once we're almost all dead, you can use the experience we've gained from our lives to reach your destination unharmed. As for us, we can just pretend to be sad and in pain, say some nice things, and then we can move on from this matter!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never realized before, the little brat has become so smart, not so easy to fool now!"
"Of course! We've learned our lesson. If we don't get smarter, we'll be pushed to our deaths and still have to be grateful to you. We're as clever as monkeys now! We won't be fooled or deceived by you anymore!"
"Now is not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong. What we need now is to figure out a way out. You don't want to feed those centipedes again, do you?"
"That's right, we've tested the way ahead, now it's your turn, you old folks, to scout ahead!"
“You little brats don’t even have the slightest respect for your elders. Nobody knows how deep this pool is or if there are any creatures lurking in it. Besides, we’re all over the place and our reactions aren’t as quick as yours. And the water in this cold pool is so frigid, how can you bear to let us old bones freeze to death in there?”
"A bunch of disrespectful old fools! Your lives are lives, but the lives of us living beings aren't? Have some shame!"
Two camps of creatures, the old and the young, finally met here and started arguing fiercely about who should go into the cold pool to explore!
It seems they've already come out from the stone steps and have been arguing for quite some time. The little ones aren't busy; they just watch these creatures standing at the edge of the icy pool, bickering and cursing. Anyway, no matter how much these creatures argue or make a fuss, they'll still go into the icy pool; it's just a matter of time.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Let me say something fair. Since none of us want to suffer a loss, to be fair, let's each send out a few companions, and then we'll all enter the cold pool together. What do you say?"
"Why should we? We've encountered countless dangers along the way, and you old fogies have taken advantage of us the whole time. Now you expect us to go on adventures with you? I've never seen such shameless people!" Some of the young and strong members of the group directly rejected the proposal.
"Hmph! A bunch of ungrateful bastards. Since you don't like us so much, then stay away from us. What do you want to do by getting so close to us?"
"Is this place yours? Or did you buy it? Why can't we stay here?"
"You look so fierce, do you want to hit me?"
"So what if I hit you?"
"Then try touching me and see what happens?"
"Give it a try?"
"Holy crap! You actually dare to make a move?"
"I've had my eye on you old geezers for ages! I'm here to beat you up!"
"A bunch of brats are trying to cause trouble, aren't they? Brothers, beat them up!"
The old guard and the young and strong finally started fighting by the cold pool. The seemingly sickly old guard were just as good as the young and strong creatures when they fought. If it weren't for the brute strength of the young and strong creatures, they would have been completely defeated by the old guard long ago!
These old-fashioned creatures were extremely cunning. They drove all the young and strong creatures towards the edge of the icy pool, fighting and pushing them until they had nowhere left to retreat. Countless creatures were driven into the icy pool.
The water in the cold pool was icy cold. Countless creatures fell in and sank without even having time to utter a sound. The sound of splashing as they fell into the cold pool was incessant.
Very few of these creatures living in the forest can swim. Once they are thrown into the icy pool, the frigid water causes their limbs to become numb and stiff, and they slowly sink to the bottom of the pool...
Countless lives on the old faction's side were also driven into the icy pool by the young and strong faction. Both sides suffered losses, and the battle continued. The icy pool was in complete chaos!
Countless creatures cried for help in the icy pool, cursing their companions on the shore. Some of the creatures that could swim had already started fighting again in the icy pool!
Seeing the commotion ahead, the little guys cracked pine nuts and watched the creatures fight. One of them, along with five wolves and a bear, watched the spectacle while snacking...
"Alright, that's about enough!"
"Stop! Stop! Our comrades inside are almost dead. Stop fighting!"
"What do you mean by this? You want to fight whenever you want? You want to stop whenever you want? I'm not going to let you have your way, you're going to keep fighting!"
"We've already lost enough of our companions in the icy pool. Let them go in and scout ahead. There's no need for us to fight anymore. Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction. So, shall we call a truce now?" The leader of the old faction said while unleashing deadly attacks on the young and strong creatures that were rushing towards them.
The younger, stronger creatures agreed with this reasoning, and the two groups of creatures slowly separated, all keeping their eyes on the creatures still soaking in the cold pool, determined not to let the older group of creatures who had fallen in get up.
The creatures on the older side were also keeping an eye on the younger and stronger side, preventing them from rescuing the swimming creatures that had fallen in.
"Alright, now you can dive down and check if there's an exit in this cold pool. Whether we can find what our ancestors left behind depends entirely on you!"
"What if we don't want to?" one of the older creatures asked, glaring fiercely at his companion on the shore.
"Hehe! I believe you have a way to make it go down, don't you?" The leader of the older faction ignored his companion's threat and simply smiled at the younger faction, asking them a question.
"Old folks, do you want me to help you, or do you just obediently listen to me?"
"Little brats, behave yourselves and don't make us use force, okay?" The leader of the older faction said with a sinister smile to the younger, stronger beings who were also in the cold pool.
"Fine! You win, we're just unlucky!" The old-fashioned creature below said, extremely unwilling but helpless.
The creatures that had been thrown into the icy pool began to dive to the bottom, but countless creatures could not withstand the frigid water and slowly lost consciousness, sinking to the bottom of the pool forever.
"There's no gate down there, and no ancestor. We've searched the bottom of the pool thoroughly, but there's nothing there! We've been tricked!"
Countless creatures emerged from the bottom of the pool, their bodies trembling violently from the cold, their voices trembling, and their teeth chattering!
"No way? Our ancestors couldn't possibly be here? Or is there another exit?" The creatures on the shore looked at the creatures in the water and didn't seem to be lying. "If there's an exit in the pool, then where is the exit from here?"
The creatures here have rather big heads. Am I really going to be wasting my time inside?
"Pull them all up!" The creatures on the shore pulled all the creatures in the water up and then began to discuss their next move.
Just as these creatures were racking their brains for a way out of this place, those creatures that had been pulled out of the icy pool, who were shivering from the cold, suddenly had very numb and empty eyes. One by one, they stood up and slowly walked towards their companions who were still groping on the stone walls around the icy pool!
"Cough cough, stop fooling around, I'm looking for the mechanism to leave from here!" A creature was groping along the uneven mountain wall when suddenly a wet paw landed on its shoulder. The creature thought it was its companion playing a joke on it, and said impatiently.
Suddenly, another wet paw landed on his neck, and then those wet paws gripped his neck tightly. Before he could react, his companion behind him had already lifted him up from behind, choking him by the neck!
"Hehehe..."!
"Cough cough cough..."!
The creature flailed its limbs in the air, trying to grab onto anything to support itself and prevent itself from being strangled to death so inexplicably and without cause!
But no matter how hard he tried, the creature behind him wouldn't let go of his neck! No matter how much he kicked and struggled, the creature behind him remained completely unmoved.
"What the hell are you doing? We kindly rescued you from the icy pool, and this is how you repay us?"
Countless creatures discovered that these creatures pulled from the icy pool were behaving very strangely; they were all attacking their own kind with deadly intent. If they hadn't been discovered in time, who knows how many of their companions would have died.
"Cough cough cough..."
The rescued creature lay on the ground, coughing violently. Had it not been for its companions noticing, it would have been strangled to death by this lifeless creature pulled from the icy pool! It never wanted to experience that suffocating feeling of hovering on the edge of death again!
"What's wrong with them? They seem to have been acting strangely ever since they came up from the icy pool!"
Countless creatures surrounded the creatures pulled from the icy pool. Looking at their empty, numb eyes and their eerie smiles, staring straight at him, he felt a chill run down his spine!
“I feel there’s something wrong with this pool of water!” a creature said, looking at the dark brown pool.
"What should we do with these creatures? If they follow us, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause!"
"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't possibly kill them all, can we?"
"If you ask me, killing them all isn't out of the question. These creatures have already been possessed and are no longer the companions we used to know. The problem is that these creatures might cause trouble behind our backs at a crucial moment, and then we'll be attacked from both sides!"
“But we have fewer and fewer companions now. I feel that we can leave all these creatures behind. Once we find the exit, we can send these companions ahead to scout the way!”
Just as these creatures were still figuring out how to deal with these unstable elements that had been pulled out of the water, they suddenly all became extremely agitated.
These creatures no longer had numb and empty eyes, but instead stared fiercely at their companions surrounding them, letting out roars and clear saliva flowing from their mouths!
"Awooo..."!
These creatures suddenly let out a roar, and then pounced on them ferociously!
"Boom boom boom..."!
The creatures that fell into the icy pool began to frantically bite and kill their companions!
Countless creatures were thrown into chaos. They had never seen such a reckless fighting style before, and were caught off guard and overwhelmed by the mutated creatures.
A creature slashed the neck of a mutated creature with its claw. The mutated creature didn't scream or care about its head about to fall off. Instead, it pounced on the creature, opened its blood-red maw, and pressed it down, preparing to bite the creature's face.
The creature endured the still-warm blood that the mutated creature was pouring onto its face, then arched its limbs and kicked the mutated creature away!
With a "plop," the mutated creature kicked the other creature into the icy pool. The mutated creature's head was only held together by a single tendon, and before long, the icy pool was stained blood red...
"What the hell is going on?" After finally killing all the mutated creatures again, the living beings threw them into the icy pool. They were terrified and extremely grateful that they hadn't been thrown into the pool, otherwise their fate would have been the same as those corpses floating on the surface of the pool!
“There’s something wrong with this pool of water!” the leader of the old faction said, frowning.
"What do we do now? This is already the end of the cave in the forbidden area. Could it be that the legends passed down from generation to generation are false? Is this not the place where our ancestors ascended to immortality?"
"That's right, we're stuck here with nowhere to go. If we go back the way we came, the little devil outside might already be waiting for us. As soon as we get out of here, that little devil and his accomplices will definitely make us wish we were dead!"
"Didn't you say you were smarter than monkeys? Then show us your cleverness, even more so than monkeys, and let us see what you're really made of!" The leader of the old group looked at the young and strong with a mocking expression.
"We don't need you old fogies. Without you, we'd be utterly useless and accomplish nothing! We have our own ways!" the young and strong creatures declared directly.
"Alright, let's each find our own way out of here. In the meantime, we'll have a complete ceasefire. As long as you don't provoke us, we won't bother you. What do you say?"
"Hmph! I have another request! Whoever finds a way out first, the remaining creatures must obey the one who finds the way out, no matter how unreasonable their demands may be!"
"Good! Let's do it that way!" The older generation of beings wholeheartedly agreed.
Then neither side of the creatures dared to delay. They began to use their unique abilities to study the cave around the cold pool, trying to find a way out before their opponents!
While the two groups of creatures were racking their brains to find a way out, they didn't notice that the corpses of the creatures floating on the cold pool were slowly changing!
The corpses, which had been mutilated and mangled, began to slowly recover, and scales resembling fish scales began to grow all over their bodies!
After the scales covering the corpses of the creatures in the icy pool were completely covered, their pupils, which had already turned grayish-white, began to slowly move, and their already stiff corpses began to twitch slightly...
The creatures around the shore of the icy pool paid no attention to the corpses floating on its surface. They were only focused on finding an exit so that the other creatures would lose and they could turn them into their followers.
"Master! I seem to sense a very dangerous aura here!" The white wolf, hiding in the shadows, spoke through its own consciousness to avoid being discovered by the creatures nearby.
"I felt it too! It's like some terrifying creature is about to emerge!" Sirius felt it too!
"Why don't we leave here?" Xiong Xixi's fur stood on end!
"Don't panic. I think those things will come out from that pool of water. If there's any danger, those creatures should hold them off for a while, and we can leave unharmed!" The little guy was very calm.
Among the creatures surrounding the shore of the cold pool were many powerful beings like the white wolves, and some were even much stronger than them. If it weren't for their master's support, the white wolves wouldn't have dared to oppose these creatures!
Even the white wolves, so far from the icy pool, sensed the danger, let alone the creatures so close at hand. All of them stopped searching for the exit mechanism and stood on high alert, watching their surroundings with great vigilance. They could sense that some terrifying creature was near them, but they didn't know where it was hiding.
"Oh no! Look at the pool!" Suddenly, a creature cried out in alarm, pointing into the icy pool.
Illuminated by countless torches, the corpses that had been floating in the cold pool had somehow all risen to the surface. All sorts of creatures stood on the surface with their heads drooping, and even those creatures that couldn't swim and sank before were now floating. The cold pool was densely packed with creatures!
"There's something strange about this pool! Everyone, prepare for battle!" The leader of the old faction roared as he looked at the creatures in the pool, then charged like an arrow toward where the little guy and his companions were hiding!
"Damn it! This old thing is a real piece of work!" All living beings thought that the leader of the old faction was going to fight these creatures that had mutated from the cold pool to the death, but they didn't expect that it would be the first to slip away and run away!
The creatures behind cursed loudly! Countless creatures began to flee!
"Hehehe..."
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, a series of very strange, chilling laughs came from the cold pool!
The creatures around the icy pool wished they had two more legs and longed to fly out of this hellish place...
