The sun, which had been scorching all day, finally set slowly under the watchful eyes of countless people, until the afterglow of the sunset disappeared behind the mountains.
Lin Qian did a graceful somersault and ran south with a roar.
Courage and his stepmother followed closely behind. This time, the chipmunk was on Courage's back. The little guy had a great grasp of how often he changed "mounts".
When it's hot, he hangs on his stepmother to cool off; when it's not hot, he hangs on Yongqi. This tiger cub runs fast, creating gusts of wind!
Night had fallen, and the night wind was blowing gently, making the mouse feel comfortable!
Lin Qian: ...It feels a little strange to suddenly be without an accessory.
The golden birds soared into the sky and disappeared into the heavens in the blink of an eye.
As night fell, the tiny dots formed by the golden sprites were obscured by the darkness, the twinkling stars shone brightly, and the moon's silvery glow spread down, illuminating a patch of night.
…………
"Ho... Hohoho..."
Strange animal cries echoed in the silent night wind as monstrous beasts, clad in jet-black scales, searched for their hidden prey.
Their eyes are dark red, they are completely irrational, and any living creature is their prey.
Beneath the ruins, overgrown with vegetation, a disheveled boy, his features obscured, held his breath, quietly huddled in a corner of the rubble, his breathing slowed to a minimum.
In the ruins of this remote town, the surviving humans hid themselves deep within, like teenagers.
These people failed to break through and escape when the demonized beasts entered the city. Even those who were lucky enough to survive could only constantly search for hiding places while surrounded by the beast horde, which was nothing more than a precarious existence.
The mutated beasts have enhanced physical abilities in all aspects. Even if they are not as good as normally evolved beasts such as spirit beasts, they still have extremely strong killing power. Once humans are discovered, they will be torn to pieces by the rushing beast horde.
Under such circumstances, only those with supernatural abilities could break through and escape. And there were only three to five such individuals in this small city; those people had already fled when the beast horde appeared.
The remaining people are all ordinary people. They know there is no way out, but those who have survived the great disaster naturally have a strong will to live. Everyone is struggling and hoping for a glimmer of hope, praying for a miracle.
The demonic beasts are more active at night. Although demonic beasts are not nocturnal, as wild animals, they are generally more active at night, making it more dangerous for humans.
Of course, no one dared to let their guard down at this moment, let alone sleep or rest. Everyone carefully hid in the ruins, fearing that they would be found by the demonized beasts.
"Crack..." The sound of the fragment being hit suddenly rang out, even though it was a faint sound.
Hearing the extremely close sound, the boy's heart tightened instantly, his pale lips pressed tightly together, his eyes closed weakly, and his hands tightly covered his ears.
Once someone is discovered, the outcome is already decided.
He could even recall countless pitiful screams and angry shouts; he had heard far too many of them that day…
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
In the ruins about thirty meters away from where the boy was hiding, a middle-aged man was trembling, his slightly overweight body huddled up in extreme tension. He had been extremely careful, but his spot was too cramped, and he could only crouch down with difficulty.
My legs naturally went numb after squatting for a long time, and I accidentally moved a little. I don't know why, but there were glass shards in this place!
He only moved slightly! Just like that, and of all times, he kicked a shard of glass!
Upon hearing the noise, the demonic beast leaped over instantly. Heavy footsteps echoed in his ears, and the middle-aged man trembled with fear. He covered his head tightly, already prepared for being discovered.
"cracking--!"
Suddenly, a loud and long eagle cry rang out in the sky above the city. The demonic beast paused and looked up at the sky.
The male golden dragon flew nearly a thousand meters in the air, but the demonic beasts still sensed a faint aura of spiritual energy, which drove them mad.
All the demonic beasts that sensed the spiritual energy roared furiously towards the sky, even attempting to attack Jin Diao. Of course, they had no ranged attack capabilities and could only frantically paw at the ground.
The spiritual power of a level three spirit beast is vast and rich, but it cannot yet be contained within. In the perception of the demonized beast, which is extremely sensitive to and yearns for spiritual power, the male golden eagle is as conspicuous as a lamp. Even though it looks very small because of the distance, it is as bright as a star.
Soon, all the demonic beasts in the ruins discovered the male Golden Eagle. They roared and ran after the Golden Eagle on the ground, like fanatical believers or moths chasing a flame.
Xiong Jin Diao glanced disdainfully at the restless horde of demonic beasts. He had seen many demonic beasts before and was not surprised to encounter them again.
In its eyes, these beasts, devoid of reason and instinct, are both weak and disgusting, their flesh and blood reeking of blood and stench. They always come to assert their presence, and after killing them, it has to dispose of their corpses. It's so annoying!
The male golden eagle really couldn't bring himself to like such beasts that were delivered to his door but which he couldn't eat.
Seeing the herd of beasts following it, the male golden eagle spread its wings and turned back.
The little tiger has found the city ruins it was looking for. Although there are some annoying beasts following it, their numbers pose no problem for them at all.
If it weren't for the lush vegetation covering the ruins and the poor visibility at night, the golden pheasant wouldn't have needed to fly into the city ruins.
However, this is also a good thing, as it brings out these annoying things and solves them directly, preventing them from popping up one after another and causing a lot of trouble.
After thinking for a moment, fearing that the horde of demonic beasts below might lose track of him, Xiong Jin Diao deliberately flew lower and slower.
Sensing the approaching aura of the spirit beast, the demonized beasts went even more frenzied.
"Roar roar roar—ho ho ho—"
The thunderous roar of the charge, mixed with excited shouts, gradually faded into the distance. The middle-aged man, trembling and prepared for death, slowly released his grip.
His nearsighted eyes peered through the crack, listening intently to the sounds. The silvery moonlight illuminated the ruins in his blurred vision. Although he couldn't see clearly, the terrifying roar of the beast had indeed faded into the distance.
Although he heard the beasts leaving, the middle-aged man still didn't dare to move. He hugged his numb legs and obediently squatted in place. The joy of having just escaped a disaster made his breathing a little heavy, which frightened him so much that he quickly covered his mouth to calm himself down.
The boy not far away slowly lowered his hands, listening to the gradually fading roars of the beasts, his heart pounding like thunder.
They've left...?
Did they survive?
Thinking of this possibility, the boy turned his head in a daze, wanting to see what was happening outside, but the terrible experience of the day made him stop moving instantly.
He doesn't dare to gamble, at least not now.
All the survivors, like them, were first surprised, then overjoyed, and then instantly fell silent.
Those who survive the onslaught of the beast horde are neither foolish nor dare to take the risk.
