Chapter 9 Running for your life
The three humans chasing in the front have already discovered the tiger monster fleeing in different directions, and they also noticed that something was wrong with the two monsters fleeing in front.
"Are they killing each other?"
"No need to chase the tiger monster, just follow the two monsters in front."
"Humph, monsters are monsters, stupid and vicious. Even at this time, they still want to kill each other. Bah, no wonder they can only suffocate to death in the Monster Mountain."
The curse came from the human with a red ribbon tied around his leg.
Shi Tong at the Jianfengling outpost also noticed something was wrong. The light kept turning back and forth in the forest.
He knew that the light was a magic weapon of the human race, specifically used to track the traces of the demon race. However, the pursuit route of the light was extremely strange.
Unless the demons fleeing in front were fighting repeatedly like this, otherwise, the light would not move like this.
Could it be that there are humans following closely behind the fleeing demons, forcing the demons to use this repeated and circuitous escape route to avoid being killed?
Immediately, Shi Tong dispelled this guess, because he knew that the magical weapon that emitted that light was called Jihenfeng.
He had once confronted the monster-hunting team from the Dai Yue Kingdom across the boundary marker. Ji Hen Feng's speed was not comparable to that of the humans in the monster-hunting team.
Generally speaking, the role of Jihenfeng is to point out the escape route of the demons and keep a close eye on them so that the demon-hunting team will not lose track of them.
He had never heard of a human race that could catch up with Jihenfeng. At least no one in the Great Yue Kingdom's monster hunting team had that ability.
If it's not the human race, then...
Suddenly, a trace of resentment appeared in Shi Tong's eyes. In this situation, it was probably only because of the close pursuit between the monsters that the monsters running in the front had to use this method of running away to avoid being killed.
Thinking of this, he stuck his head out of the sentry post wall and roared angrily at the light.
In an instant, a deep and majestic lion's roar was heard from the sentry post far away.
In the Peak Forest, all the people and monsters heard the angry lion's roar.
At this time, on the road down the Jianfengling Mountain, rows of torches shot up into the sky and quickly meandered downwards.
It looked like a group of demon soldiers with torches were coming down the mountain.
Xu Zhenfeng, Hu San, and the tiger demon who was fleeing to the other side all saw the row of torches pointing downwards. Then, Xu Zhenfeng stopped trying to fight and immediately ran desperately in the direction where the torches extended.
The tiger demon hesitated for only a moment, then gritted his teeth and ran in that direction.
She roared like a tiger as she ran, but compared to the lion's roar from Jianfengling Pass just now, her roar was as weak as the buzzing of a mosquito.
Although her tiger roar was weak, it pointed out the direction for the demon soldiers who came down the mountain to meet them.
After the tiger demon's roar, a wolf howl was heard on the mountain road of Jianfengling, which was no less fierce than the lion's roar from the sentry post just now.
After hearing the wolf howl, Xu Zhenfeng immediately howled as well. His howl was much louder than the tiger demon's roar.
After this roar was heard, the speed of the torch team moving downwards on the mountain road suddenly increased. To the naked eye, it looked almost like a fire dragon diving rapidly.
Then another long wolf howl came from the mountain road. Xu Zhenfeng could hear it clearly. This wolf howl was asking him which family he was from and why he ran to the Peak Forest. It also asked him to run towards him at full speed without wasting his energy and blood.
Xu Zhenfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he didn't have the energy to answer anymore. He was thinking rapidly in his mind that when Hu San suddenly increased his speed just now, he felt him spit out blood. Could it be that he was consuming his essence and blood to increase his speed?
As soon as he thought about it, he felt a warm current rushing out from his abdomen, violently rushing through his internal organs, and then a surge of power immediately filled his whole body.
Xu Zhenfeng's internal organs were tightened by the surge of force, and there was another sharp pain. He opened his mouth involuntarily and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In an instant, Xu Zhenfeng's running speed increased to the point where he could not even see the trees and bushes in front of him.
He only felt that the power in his body was surging, and he had to fight hard to vent the exciting feeling brought by this power.
Hu San was right behind Xu Zhenfeng, and his nose could almost touch Xu Zhenfeng's tail, which was swinging uncontrollably due to extreme tension.
If he had bitten Xu Zhenfeng just once in more than ten times, Xu Zhenfeng would have died.
Hearing the two wolf howls coming from the mountain road and Xu Zhenfeng's response, Hu San became more and more frightened. Lang Wentian, one of the demon generals stationed at Jianfengling Pass, was a famous demon in the Demon Mountain.
This Lang Wentian was well-known for protecting his own people. As long as the children were from his own family, no matter what laws of the Demon Mountain they had violated, he would always use his power to interfere and make things smaller or even nothing.
Even if he is not a member of his family, but a wolf demon from the same tribe who has done something out of line, he will still try to interfere.
Although there are various different species of monsters in the monster tribe, their monster language is the same, only the sounds they make are different.
When Hu San heard Lang Wentian's concerned inquiries about Xu Zhenfeng, he knew that if Xu Zhenfeng didn't die today, then he would be dead.
Without giving him time to hesitate, Hu San hardened his heart and spat out three mouthfuls of blood. Then he said to the three humans who were not far behind him, "I will block his right side, and you surround his left side. I can only hold him back for a moment with my bewilderment spell, so use all your spells. I will not return to the Monster Mountain in the future. I will help you hunt down the monsters."
At this time, one of the human beings had raised his hands, and a small red ball of light was jumping in his hands. After hearing Hu San's words, the ball of light that was originally going to hit Hu San directly passed Hu San and shot towards Xu Zhenfeng as fast as lightning.
Xu Zhenfeng had already heard what Hu San said. He was not very angry. But when he felt the ball of light flying, he suddenly rushed to the right. At this moment, Hu San let out a soft cry.
The chirping is like a complaint or a gentle whisper, making people want to concentrate and listen carefully to what is being said.
Xu Zhenfeng's fierce attack knocked Hu San, who had just stretched his head out to bite Xu Zhenfeng's hind legs, off balance.
The bewitching spell that a yellow rank 7 fox demon cast on a yellow rank 1 wolf demon actually... failed.
Under Xu Zhenfeng's powerful impact, his body moved to the right side of Hu San again, and the flying ball of light actually hit Hu San, who had not yet stabilized his body.
The moment Hu San was hit by the ball of light, his whole body paused for a moment, and then his steps became slow.
All this happened in less than a breath. Xu Zhenfeng took advantage of the force of the collision and rushed out diagonally for more than ten feet and turned towards the boundary marker of Jianfengling.
Hu San, whose speed had been slowed down, was thrown sideways by the violent collision with Xu Zhenfeng, and even blocked the three humans who were running wildly behind him.
The three humans did not hesitate and cast their own spells. A flash of fire, a sharp blade, and another ball of blue light all hit Hu San.
A desperate scream sounded, like the last cry of a bird being shot.
Xu Zhenfeng continued to run wildly. At this time, he had a chance and let out another wolf howl towards the other side of the mountain road.
He was getting closer and closer to the boundary marker.
The tiger demon came running from another direction and also rushed towards the boundary marker. She saw Xu Zhenfeng's back running from afar and felt a little surprised. How could this wolf demon not be bitten to death by the fox?
