Their senses are neither good nor bad to humans; good people and bad people are the same to them. But seeing their once superior race reduced to this state, they all felt a sense of powerlessness.
Just like before, after the heavy rain, they looked at the carcasses of other animals, both belonging to and not belonging to the elephant herd.
The scene of rivers of blood and the pervasive aura of death made the whole world seem bleak.
When the elephants regained their senses, they didn't even bother to look for the bodies of their companions. In their confusion, they hastily fled. The brutal competition, indiscriminate in its fierce battle, was truly terrifying.
There were no winners in that competition; for them, every participant was a loser.
————
In the desolate forest, Lin Qian watched the elephant herd enter the city ruins with a puzzled expression. Elephants entering the city? What were they doing?
If it's normal for elephants to venture into farmland like the suburbs to forage, what's so special about these urban areas where there's no vegetation that would attract them?
These elephants are not ordinary animals; they are intelligent creatures that could not possibly enter the city without a purpose.
With this in mind, Lin Qian mustered his courage and slowly followed.
The elephant herd had now reached a place resembling a warehouse, with collapsed buildings scattered everywhere. The sharp edges of the debris did not harm them at all, and the elephants moved across the ruins as if they were on flat ground.
With its long nose, Xiao Liu pointed to an area, signaling its companions to start digging.
The elephant herd quickly divided up the tasks. This was not the first time they had searched for food in the city ruins; they already had considerable experience in digging through rubble.
In the distance, Courage watched the elephants busily working in an orderly fashion. His tiger eyes grew brighter and brighter. He wished he could rush up right now, knock those "laborers" unconscious, and then pack them all up and take them back to his tiger father.
Lin Qian flicked his tail and brushed it against Yongqi's back to calm it down, afraid that the tiger might lose control and charge forward.
"Aww..." Brother, when are we going to make our move? They're so incredibly useful!
Hearing Courage urging him on, Lin Qian was also a little anxious. It was also very interested in the group, but there was no good opportunity to act now.
Even after being urged on, the tiger cub didn't continue. Although he was very interested, he didn't act impulsively, which was quite good.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qian's two tigers were lying in the forest, almost asleep, when suddenly a startled cry came from the elephant herd.
The tiger's two heads suddenly rose, and its colorful body instantly assumed a charging posture.
A muffled "boom" resounded.
Under the moonlight, outside the ruins that the elephants had almost cleared, a huge creature suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood right next to the elephants.
After issuing the warning, Xiao Liu retreated to the rear. Its attack power was somewhat weaker than that of its kind, and it always reserved its main attack positions for others.
With a long "whoosh," several elephants prepared to defend themselves and attack.
The elephants did not launch an attack without authorization. Along the way, they had learned to observe before acting, because in the current environment, all kinds of mutated species exist, making it impossible to guard against them.
As the dust settled, a gigantic toad was revealed; perhaps calling it a monster would be more appropriate.
Its body was covered with pustules and countless tendons wrapped around it. Those tendons seemed to breathe, twitching and contracting, looking extremely strange and disgusting.
Even though the elephant herd had seen a lot recently, they still found the monster in front of them quite ugly, and Lin Qian and Yongqi in the back even made a vomiting motion at the same time.
"coax!!"
The strange toad roared, and a large handful of green slime instantly spewed out of its wide-open mouth. Without a doubt, this stuff was something you should never touch.
The elephants dodged in unison. Despite their seemingly clumsy bodies, they were quite agile and had no problem dodging over short distances.
Only a few elephants in front were sprayed with a little bit of the sap because they managed to dodge in time. However, even these few drops of sticky sap instantly eroded the elephant's skin and pierced a bloody hole the size of a finger on the elephant's skin.
This injury is nothing to a spirit beast, but it still shows how terrifying the slime is.
If you were drenched from head to toe, even a spirit beast wouldn't have a chance to survive!
Sensing the danger posed by the other side, the elephant herd retreated slightly.
The elephants changed positions in a few seconds, and the group rearranged itself.
This time, the moment the strange toad hopped over again, it was met with a barrage of ranged attacks.
Flames and golden light shot out like arrows, striking the toad and producing a series of booming sounds.
"Croak!!!" With a strange cry, the toad instantly retreated.
The toad's pustules were oozing a thick, black liquid that covered its entire body. The elephant herd's attack had caused some damage, but it hadn't broken through its defenses.
"Croak!!!"
With a sharp, eerie cry, the toad leaped into the air, and as it reached mid-air, all the pustules on its back burst open with a loud bang!
"Mmm!!!"
"Waaaaah!!"
The dark green liquid splattered down like a bursting water balloon, causing the elephant herd to panic and flee in all directions.
However, the elephants were too large to move in a short time, and the elephants closest to the toad were about to be sprayed with a large amount of venom.
As the elephants fled in terror, the venom that had been splashed on them arrived instantly.
Little Six turned around and saw his kin who couldn't escape, so he screamed in terror, "Ugh!!!"
