Chapter 5: Three-Eyed Well
Following Qi Nan Shan’s attack, the coed the pride of lions
12th stood on the back of his horse; he didn’t need to attack, just calmly spectate Huo Bao and the others held their Fu Weapons,but their jobs were to protect 12th—they didn’t need to participate in the fight
Xiao Feng and his group changed directions and headed towards the lions to join the fight
“Master! Disrupt the group of lions over there! Don’t let theroup up to attack”
Luo Jie exhaled his Innate Fu Book and began his attacks 12th loudly called, “Grandpa Nan Shan, help Qin Lang’s group!”
Wu Qin, despite being busy with the fight, turned his head to watch 12th He was shocked seeing 12th standing atop his horse, cal everyone His orders were all clear and precise, telling Luo Jie to disrupt the Crazed Lions, which stopped the Qi Nan Shan help out the Qin Lang’s coroup was surrounded by the lions, Qi Nan Shan would get there in tith, he can quickly kill a few of the Crazed Lions, thus eli surrounded
Only two thirds of the group participated in the fight while the rest of them stayed to watch the horses, for they could attack at any time, so they were effectively the backup Once Wu Qin understood 12th’s plan and orders, he felt a sense of calth
Given the power of Luo Jie and his group, killing a few hundred Crazed Lions wasn’t hard, however 12th still had an uneasy feeling Since Qin Lang’s scouting group encountered the lions on the outskirts, it was i there are even et over—what caused all of these wild beasts to attack like this? Are they capable of this the them?
The Crazed Lions were gradually dwindling in numbers, so 12th called, “Wu Qin! Wu Qin! Come over here!”
Wu Qin didn’t delay, he i before 12th, he politely asked, “12th…… Is there a problem?”
12th asked, “Wu Qin, do you think…… that these wild beasts are being controlled by someone?”
Wu Qin’s expression turned sour as he asked, “You suspect that so them?”
12th didn’t believe that the wild beasts would attack humans of their own volition, especially for a species like the Crazed Lions He saw it himself earlier as the lions went berserk and attacked, this contradicted normality as well as their normal behaviour
Wu Qin’s face darkened, saying, “You suspect that the Southern Fu Sect is responsible for this?”
12th shook his head and said, “I’ the Southern Fu Sect, it’s just that the situation is very abnormal What do you think?”
Wu Qin was stunned, but he didn’t show it on his face he thought that 12th was being deliberately obtuse, it see that could control such a large number of wild beasts in the Southern Fu Sect…… h similar, however, in the Southern Fu Sect nobody is able to use this technique, although……” He wondered for a moment
Luo Jie asked, “Although what?”
Wu Qin answered, “Elder, I don’t know if the Beast Raising Fu Sect is responsible for this, but…… I can guarantee that unless they are under someone’s control, nobody can coerce the Crazed Lions to start an attack when they were initially roa freely by themselves”
Luo Jie knew that Wu Qin wasn’t lying, so he nodded and said, “So if it isn’t the people from the Southern Fu Sect, then we don’t have any more qualms, haha 12th carry on with your questions if you have any more”
12th furrowed his brow and said, “No, I don’t have any more questions, thank you”
Wu Qin said, “No problem”
12th mumbled to himself, “Then who could it be? Unless it’s somebody from the Mysterious Lands?”
Luo Jie, despite his age, had very sensitive ears, hed and said, “Stop guessing rando orders, the pack of lions…… oh, nevermind, they’ve all been killed”
Only the hide of the Crazed Lions was of any use, so after all of the two hundred plus Crazed Lions had been killed, so only Qin Lang and a sroup of his Fu Warriors went to collect the complete pieces of lion hide, nobody else bothered
12th said, “Uncle Xiao Feng, take two people to scout ahead and try not to attract any attention from the wild beasts, I want to knohat people are trapped inside”
Xiao Feng called over two Fu Masters, and without riding the horses, they skittered into the grass, rapidly darting ahead
12th asked, “Mister Qin Lang, is there anywhere nearby we can hide the horses?”
Qin Lang thought for a moment and replied, “Ten minutes on horseback in that direction There’s a small forest; the horses can be hidden there”
12th said, “Mister Qin Lang, tell your subordinates to go to that forest Huo Bao and the others will join you Wu Qin, tell your people to hide with the horses too, all of thehter”
Wu Qin knew 12th’s intentions, next battle only Fu Masters or Beast Masters have the power to participate He nodded and said, “No probleht away”
12th said sternly, “You guys aren’t strong enough yet, if you go you’ll drag everyone else down…… Watch the horses in the grasslands, the horses are as io”
Huo Bao left reluctantly They didn’t want to, but 12th was the conore his orders
Qi Nan Shan asked, “12th, are we not riding the horses?”
12th said, “No, we don’t need to ride the horses, it’s roup is very powerful so if we don’t need to worry about the horses’ safety then everyone can unleash their full power Uncle Luo, wait a moment and we’ll set off, carry me”
Luo Zhan agreed and walked over to 12th’s side Luo Jie orried about 12th, so he ordered three Fu Masters to specifically protect the little guy
Soon the group left with the horses, now less than twenty people reroup, Wu Qin’s group and his own group, the rest were under Qi Nan Shan’s command
As the horse group slowly disappeared fro out now?”
12th shook his head and said, “No, we’re waiting until Uncle Xiao Feng returns and then we’ll see I need o noon’t be prepared enough”
After waiting over tenand the other two silently returned
12th asked, “Who’s trapped there?”
Xiao Feng hesitantly said, “I don’t knohose people they are, but there are a lot of them, at least over a thousand people are trapped I think it’s a group of abonds I’m not sure how there came to be so many people, but they’re completely surrounded by wild beasts, at least ten thousand of the”
Qin Lang, shocked, exclaimed, “How is that possible? This is a very remote area, no merchants would come all the way out here……”
Xiao Feng said, “I don’t know if they even are athered there?”
Luo Jie said, “They don’t necessarily have to be athered there……”
12th asked, “Is there anybody controlling these wild beasts?”
Xiao Feng replied, “We didn’t see anyone, all we could see ild beasts There’s no way to see if so them”
12th thought deeply for a moment and then said, “Master, Grandpa Nan Shan, I think thereall the people as well as the wild beasts…… An altercation can’t arise fro…… We have two options, one is leave ie ahead and find out just what is going on I can’t decide right now……”
Luo Jie nodded, indicating that he understood 12th’s conflict was obvious to hi iret it, on the other hand if they choose to go in and in the end souilty, that’s why he chose to decide this for 12th so the responsibility was not 12th’s to bear
Luo Jie and Qi Nan Shan whispered a brief conversation, signalled over Wu Qin and said, “Wu Qin, we’re preparing to go in, if you feel like it’s too dangerous you can take your people and head to the forest and watch the horses”
Wu Qin was deathly afraid of charging in, so he io to the forest”
The few Fu Masters from the Northern Fu Sect eyed him with contempt Wu Qin was shae his decision Living the safe, easy life in Qin Guang for so long has long since sanded out his daring boldness He took his subordinates, bid 12th farewell, turned and left
12th watched hiuy is a slippery bastard”
Luo Jie said, “Despite being a co”
Qi Nan Shan laughed, “Haha, if he is a Beast Fu Master then maybe he could improve, but since he’s a Beast Zhou Master he probably won’t be able to advance to Beast Zhou Grandmaster unfortunately”
12th nodded The path of a Beast Zhou Master was an offensive one, if one was too afraid to join in a fight then it would indeed be very difficult to advance For 12th personally, if he enjoyed battle then he would go down the path of a Zhou Master, if he enjoyed creating Fu then he’ll go down the path of a Fu Master, though if he had an affinity for both then that would be best
Luo Jie calo have a look, find a weak point and charge right through!”
Qi Nan Shan laughed heartily and said, “Alright, I’ll lead the charge!”
With 12th on Luo Zhan’s back and Luo Jie on so and sprinted ahead
The roars of the wild beasts were getting louder and louder as everyone arrived at a sher, which allowed them to see the situation ahead Everyone stared into the distance, and their expressions turned, including both Luo Jie and Qi Nan Shan The situation up ahead was truly frightening
12th said, “Uncle Luo, raise me up”
Luo Zhan thrusted 12th high above him
Watching for a ht, put me down”
Luo Jie asked, “What do you think?”
12th said, “The only thing certain is…… these wild beasts are following some kind of co the, the people in the camp site…… they don’t seely…… Oh yeah, Mister Qin Lang, what is this place? Is there anything special about this place?”
Qin Lang said, “There’s nothing particularly interesting about this ca place This place is called the ‘Three-Eyed Well’, there’s just one relatively loall surrounding it, it’s about two h, not the easiest place to defend”
“Three-Eyed Well?”
12th thought for a ed by wild beasts?”
