Chapter 544

Attack

Shao Xuan’s group of five chased after it. When Duo Kang and the other three saw the green-faced fanged beast, they had hesitated for a moment, and because of the slight hesitation, they had fallen far behind.

The prey ahead was speeding up and it ignored the trees and the gra.s.s. The thick gra.s.s and the trees around did not slow it down at all. On one hand, it seemed to be able to run above the gra.s.s. On the other, it seemed as if it was very familiar with the area. No matter how or where it ran, it was already clear where it was going, like fish in water.

Shao Xuan who was behind it couldn’t see its hooves clearly because they were moving too fast. He could only see the wave-like gra.s.s below it being disturbed as it pa.s.sed by. Every time the gra.s.s moved, it looked like waves sent from the ocean, giving the beast the speed it needed to rapidly escape.

In the sky, Gu La and the others from the Hui tribe followed the figure tightly after they heard Shao Xuan’s signal.

Although the forest was covered with branches that blocked out the view from above, there were still some gaps through which Gu La could still see the running figure. Even if Gu La couldn’t see it, the great mountain eagle’s eyes were so sharp that they were locked onto the escaping target.

However, the prey seemed to have sensed the presence of those in the sky. It started to run towards denser parts of the forest instead of open grounds.

Shao Xuan and the other four could not stop it, and the people in the sky could only try their best to keep up. They couldn’t catch it right away, so they could only watch it run towards taller and denser woods.

“Screech—”

The mountain eagle in the sky suddenly called out unhappily. After the prey rushed into denser woods, it could no longer hunt after it.

As it lost its target in its field of vision, the eagle circled in the sky and didn’t know where to go.

Gu La cursed slightly and signalled the giant mountain eagle to descend. He hopped down from its back and entered the forest with the other four Flaming Horns who had just caught up. There were three people from the Hui tribe still keeping watch from above. If they saw anything, they would send a signal to those below.

The only person who was missing was Shao Xuan because he was the only one who caught up to the prey.

Although he also hopped on top of the branches, Shao Xuan still managed to keep up, but the distance between him and the others grew farther and farther apart. They had lost their target. None of them was in a good mood.

“Was that the green-faced fanged beast just now?” Gula asked.

“If Shao Xuan said it was, then it must’ve been. But I never thought it could run on top of gra.s.s?!” Duo Kang was panting. This was almost as difficult as catching the robbers. They had been distracted even for a second, and they’d lost their chance. It was just that slight moment! They shouldn’t have hesitated!

“Run on the top of gra.s.s?!” Gu La was observing from above, so he couldn’t tell clearly what was happening below. When he descended, the figure had already escaped into the distance. When he heard Duo Kang’s words, he was extremely shocked. He had only seen winged creatures that had the ability to fly above the gra.s.s. How did the green-faced fanged beast have such an ability?

Duo Kang and the others didn’t know too much either. All they saw was a vague blurry figure. They couldn’t see clearly what it actually looked like. They only knew a bit more than Gu La.

But now was not the time to talk.

“Let’s split up!”

It was such a large forest, and there were no traces. There was no way they could search after it, so they could only split up to find it.

‘Let’s hope Shao Xuan caught up with the green-faced fanged beast,’ the four people thought.
