Chapter 369: Chapter 300: Bat-man! Spiderfolk! Assault on the Valley!_1
“What on earth has happened?”
Outside the Wilderness, Yao Zhixue and Cai Ji, among others, were shocked as they watched the jackal werewolves and hyena men fleeing frantically in the distance.
Just half a day ago, they were still fighting fiercely.
But somehow, these people had suddenly turned tail and run. Some of them were even scurrying on all fours, desperately trying to outpace the others.
“No idea.”
Cai Ji scratched his head. “Could it be that they were terrified by my powerful strength and decided to flee for their lives?”
“Buzz off!”
“It must be some trouble within the Cave Beastmen Tribe.”
Chu He seemed to have guessed something, eyeing the many Cave Beastmen scurrying away in all directions.
“How would you know?” Zhuang Shuai asked curiously. “Maybe we have reinforcements, or perhaps our human armies have won the main battle!”
“Impossible.” Chu He shook his head, pointing at the Cave Beastmen in the distance. “Look at the direction these Cave Beastmen are running in. They’re not heading the same way, but scattering in all directions, distancing themselves from their comrades.”
“They’re doing this to prevent being followed or, worse, being backstabbed by their own kind. But how could that be?
“I can only guess there’s some internal problem that’s made the Cave Beastmen wary of getting close to each other… could it be… plague?”
“Plague?”
Everyone looked at each other, only for Yao Zhixue’s expression to suddenly brighten as she whispered, “Zheng Cheng… is it you?”
Suddenly, at that moment, the communication talisman that Yao Zhixue carried with her shot out, burning up intensely.
Zhao Yunxiao’s urgent voice transmitted from it, “Zhixue, we received a message from Purple Poppy. She heard a call for help from the Splendid Forest. Zheng Cheng is likely to be there. Head to these coordinates as fast as you can.”
“Additionally, the Cave Beastmen Tribe has been hit by an outbreak of the rabies plague, a virus that also poses a great threat to us humans. The competition for the Ten Great Hidden Dragons is suspended for now. Await further orders.”
“Everyone else, return to Ruin City as quickly as possible, and do not venture out!”
Hearing the information from the communication talisman, everyone looked at each other.
Who would have thought that the long-awaited competition for the Ten Great Hidden Dragons would be halted so abruptly?
Yao Zhixue made a quick decision. “I’m going to the Splendid Forest to provide support. You guys go back first.”
“Wait, I’m coming too!”
Cai Ji suddenly said, “Brother Cheng is there, how can I abandon him?”
“We also…”
Before Zhuang Shuai could finish speaking, Yao Zhixue interrupted him, “Among us, only Cai Ji and I have the ability to fly.”
“You guys can’t fly, so it’s best if you return to Ruin City as quickly as possible.”
“This…”
The others still wanted to say something but were stopped by Chu He. “Let’s listen to the deputy captain. With such a big event happening in the Wilderness, I suspect it might also involve Captain Zheng Cheng.”
“What?”
A few minutes later, Yao Zhixue was surrounded by a strong force of wind and snow as she flew at high speed towards the Splendid Forest.
Behind her, a massive rooster was following closely.
…
One day later, in the Nameless Valley.
Located deep within the Splendid Forest and surrounded by dense woods, the Cave Beastmen who had been ordered to kill other Blue Star human trial participants remained unaffected by the rabies virus outbreak in the outside world.
They were relentless in their pursuit, led by the Lizard-man chieftain Komoro, encircling several human Professionists with Cui Xiabing at the forefront!
In this midst of the crowd, there were not only jackal werewolves and hyena men, but also several other non-human species.
There were the Bat-men with long, lean bodies, pale faces, and slightly red pupils.
And the Spiderfolk with strange black and white patterns all over their bodies and four additional limb-like appendages on their backs, apart from their four limbs.
Both of these species were powerful within the Cave Beastmen Tribe, especially the Bat-men, who considered themselves the leading species among the Cave Beastmen.
Apart from being able to awaken as different inheritors, they would also inherit the racial talents unique to their own clan.
Ultrasonic Oscillation!
Beyond these foreign races, there were also silhouettes of seven or eight reincarnators.
They were the remaining members of the Beast Desire, led by Huabo, the Fallen Ones!
“Huabo, why haven’t Brother Gou and that young Peiran responded yet? They haven’t run into trouble, have they?”
A towering member of the Beast Desire asked quietly, his eyes filled with unease.
Huabo glanced at him indifferently and said, “What trouble could there be? This is the Cave Beastmen’s territory.”
“The reach of the people from Ruin City can’t possibly extend this far.”
“As for why there’s no response, maybe they’re on their way here right now.”
As he spoke, his eyes glowed with fervor, “I had never expected to find an extraordinary giant tree with a ten-thousand-year age here. If we capture it and give it to the red-robed grand priest of our clan, given some time, my Cave Beastmen Tribe will produce an epic level, or even a legendary level, powerhouse!”
The member also said with excitement, “Yes, this is also lucky for our Huarenbuer Bat Clan. The disturbance from that big tree was too great; otherwise, it really would have been difficult to discover it.”
“Hey, Huabo, people are coming!”
The few of them looked up and saw more than ten figures suddenly flying from the forest not far away, moving at extreme speed.
These black silhouettes belonged to the inheritors of the Huarenbuer Bat Clan.
Especially the two leading figures, one with a slender noble sword on his waist.
The other was draped in a blood-red cape, his eyes crafty and reserved.
“Hua Yu!”
The bat-man holding the slender sword spoke, and Huabo quickly stepped forward, “Chief!”
“You’ve done well to discover this place first; otherwise…”
His gaze was fixed firmly on Komoro not far away.
Komoro also scoffed and said, “Capado, save your disgusting face! This place was first discovered by our Lizard-man Tribe; it’s naturally our spoils of war now!”
“Besides, the Splendid Forest has always been our territory; do you really think you can forcibly take it?”
“Kakakaka… Who says the Splendid Forest belongs to the Lizard-men? We are the first to disagree!”
A manic laughter suddenly came through, and then another more than ten huge figures approached swiftly.
Moving swiftly through the tall trees of the Splendid Forest, they shot countless white silk threads, forming a massive networked grid of paths.
Spiderfolk!
Another powerful race of the Cave Beastmen Tribe, who also co-ruled the Splendid Forest with the Lizard-men, the Spiderfolk had arrived!
“Pax!”
Komoro, looking at the swiftly approaching Spiderfolk, especially the one leading them with black and white patterns and a woman’s face painted on his face, was full of wariness.
Even Capado, a member of the Bat Clan, subconsciously distanced himself from Pax.
In the topography of the Splendid Forest, especially in a forest with many tall trees, the strength of the Spiderfolk would be unparalleled.
Pax shouted, “Old rules, whoever grabs it first gets to keep it. Old friend, I’ll go first!”
“Kakaka~”
He laughed wildly and suddenly spat out two fine webs, winding around a rampaging War Ancient Tree in the distance.
With a swift movement, he was immediately pulled toward the entrance of the valley.
Midway, he also sprayed out a black-green venom, which immediately doused the War Ancient Tree.
“Sssss…”
The piercing corrosion sound immediately ensued, with the body of the War Ancient Tree visibly decaying at a rapid rate!
Behind him, the more than ten Spiderfolk who had followed him also quickly caught up.
Seeing this, Komoro and Capado exchanged glances and set off in action, leading their respective teams to charge towards the valley.
