Upon hearing his words, everyone was overjoyed and looked towards the outside of the city wall, but apart from darkness, they could see nothing at all.
"Where is he? Didn't you say he was back?" The fat man grabbed Le Xinghai by the collar and shouted. Just then, the Dark Behemoth arrived. If he really ran into Ye Chen, he would surely die.
"Yes, yes, on the way. He sent a message to me through the Red Bird, saying that a Dark Behemoth would be passing through here and that we should leave immediately! He'll be there soon!" Le Xinghai said, panting.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lü Zi'ang even screamed and ran back to his territory, ready to break camp at any moment.
As for Ye Chen's territory, it has been authorized to Fatty and Ye Ling, and will move with Fatty's territory.
"Let's go to the spatial rift first. We'll leave as soon as Ye Chen arrives!" the fat man said, and together with the others, they controlled the territory to move towards the spatial rift.
"Boom!" The towering city wall collapsed with a crash, and everyone's territory slowly moved away from its original position.
"Thump~~" "Thump~~" "Thump~~"
As soon as they arrived at the location of the crack, they heard a rhythmic vibration.
"It's footsteps! The Dark Behemoth is coming out! It'll see us in a minute at most!" Lu Zi'ang screamed. If he were worried about the huge number of dark creatures outside, he probably would have already run away.
"Look there, Ye Chen is back!" At the same time, the fat man stood at the edge of the territory and shouted, looking at the dark corner in the distance.
The mountain god's tall and majestic figure had already come into view and was running swiftly toward the territory.
"Quickly~~~ here~~~" the fat man shouted, waving his hand. Zhou Wenbin and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If Ye Chen really hadn't made it back, they would have felt incredibly guilty. Even Lü Zi'ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his expression suddenly changed drastically very quickly.
"Oh no! The Dark Behemoth seems to have sensed our presence and has turned around to head straight this way!" Lu Zi'ang exclaimed in alarm.
The Dark Behemoth originally moved around in a wandering manner, not very fast. Although it was also heading in their direction, it would take some time to get there.
But now the Dark Behemoth seems to have sensed their presence and is walking directly towards them at a much faster speed.
This was just a normal walk, not a jog. If it really put all its strength into a charge, with its power, this distance would probably only take a breath or two.
"You guys go out first!" the fat man said through gritted teeth. Even without Lu Zi'ang's reminder, they could feel the footsteps getting clearer and clearer.
"I'll go out first and hold the line! You, you, you all do your best, as soon as possible!" Zhou Wenbin responded after only a moment's hesitation.
As a lord who was leading four people to wander in the trial space, he was much more decisive than the other four in this situation.
"You two go out first. I'll send the Red Bird out to see if it can attract the other side's attention!" Le Xinghai said with heartache. In this situation, the Red Bird that goes out will most likely not come back.
But Ye Chen came here because of them, and if he were to die here, anyone would feel uneasy.
Moreover, for them, the lord's life is always far more important than that of his kin.
"Okay! Be careful then. Come out as soon as you pick them up. We'll be outside!" Lu Ziang and Gao Caidie said. They didn't dawdle. Zhou Wenbin outside was under a lot of pressure.
If the two of them don't go out, Zhou Wenbin's territory, which lacks offensive capabilities, definitely won't last long.
Large numbers of red-crowned birds flew out of Le Xinghai's territory and converged in all directions toward the Dark Behemoth.
Ye Chen was obviously aware of the situation here and the things about the Dark Behemoth, as Ye Ying had already informed him of everything.
"Land, sink underground and escape using earth magic! Notify the remaining red-colored birds to leave first; at worst, we can hide in the Dark Behemoth and leave!" Ye Chen said.
The land gods cast spells, and everyone instantly disappeared underground, vanishing from the fat man's and the others' sight.
At the same time, the few remaining red-crowned birds sped past, flying swiftly towards their territory.
"Chirp~~~ Chirp chirp~~~" As soon as they returned to their territory, the red-crowned birds chirped incessantly.
The fat man couldn't understand what they were saying, but Le Xinghai could. He immediately understood Ye Chen's meaning and his face turned pale instantly.
"What happened? What did he say? Why did he suddenly disappear underground?" the fat man asked anxiously.
"He... he told us to go first, and he'll hide until the Dark Behemoth leaves before coming out!" Le Xinghai said, stunned.
"Damn! This is a Tier 7 creature! Does he really think he can get away with hiding underground?" The fat man slapped the ground at the edge of his territory and said angrily.
However, he quickly calmed down and instructed Le Xinghai beside him to recall the released red birds. He prepared to lead Ye Chen's territory back to the trial space.
As long as Ye Chen doesn't perish here, he'll always have a chance to get out after the Dark Behemoth leaves.
"Us? Are we really just going to leave like this?" Le Xinghai asked unwillingly as he recalled the Red Bird.
"What else? Hurry up and leave!" the fat man said irritably, even controlling his own territory and pushing Le Xinghai's territory towards the outside of the spatial rift. If they didn't leave now, it would really be too late.
"Lord!" Ye Ling and the others watched the afterglow of the spatial rift with reluctance.
Seeing the fat man and the others leave, Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as the territory was taken out, with the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) ability, no matter how strong the Dark Behemoth was, it would be helpless against him.
"Thump~~~" "Thump~~~" "Thump~~~"
Less than five seconds after the fat man and the others disappeared into the spatial rift, a huge figure emerged from the darkness.
Standing nearly a hundred meters tall, even a mountain god wouldn't be able to reach its toes. Surrounded by black mist, it exuded an aura of evil and murderous intent.
"What do you mean by this? You call them almost as tall as the mountain gods?" Peeking out from the distant mountain peak, Ye Chen looked at Ye Ying with a puzzled expression, then at the mountain gods beside him who were no more than five meters tall.
"Well! The distance is too far, so the judgment might be a little inaccurate, or maybe the person has changed their body shape!" Ye Ying said coquettishly, blushing, refusing to admit that it was a misjudgment on her part.
"Roar~~~" However, before Ye Chen could continue speaking, the Dark Behemoth in the distance turned its head to look in his direction. With a roar, it leaped up and jumped directly towards where everyone was.
