Chapter 96 (1/2)

Hula, everyone stood up nervously.

Ding Hao also instantly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to be nervous. It’s an ordinary beast that got caught up in the trap…” Soon came the rea.s.suring voice of the hunter youth Zhang Fan. His voice was simple. He sounded honest and trustworthy, which made all the disples breathe a sigh of relief.

The night seemed to have a magic power that made people become alert and afraid.

During the first half of the night, everyone spent their time in a cautious atmosphere. The warning sound of traps came from time to time, which turned out to be common wild animals.

At the end of the night, many people could not stand the fatigue and finally fell asleep.

The disciples who took the guard also looked sleepy.

Only Ding Hao had been sitting steadily on the top of the hill. Sometimes, he would get to look around their surroundings.

Seeing Senior Brother Ding sit beside him full of vigilance, the disciples felt safe and grateful.

Everyone knew it deep in their hearts.

In theory, Ding Hao was the strongest of all and should enjoy the service of them all, however, it turned out to be that they had enjoyed Ding Hao’s protection instead. They were lucky that they had him. If any other man had been their leader, they would not be so comfortable at all.

After midnight, the temperature dropped, and the roar of wild animals increased.

The silver moon in the sky silver moon also hidden behind the thick clouds.

The stars were dim.

Ding Hao frowned and stood up.

A strong uneasiness rolled up at the bottom of his heart as if something bad was going to happen.

Suddenly—

Ding!

A very subtle metallic sound rang into Ding Hao’s ear.

“Something bad!”

Ding Hao seemed to perceive something. He rushed downward. Under the dim light of night, like a wisp of smoke, he flew away quickly in the direction of the sound.

The hair-raising scene soon appeared in Ding Hao’s eyes.

The two guarding disciples already fell into deep sleep.

Meanwhile, a monster like a fox or a wolf, covered in a light black dense mist, crossed over the warning traps set by them. As if it was dancing, it quietly approached the sleeping disciples.

The monster’s sharp and fine teeth were like a row of daggers under the starlight, and its scarlet eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with terrible chilling!

It was a monster!

The black mist was a Demon Aura.

The monster was a Ominous Beast, ranked the lowest among all the demons.

“Wake up!” Ding Hao shouted.

Seeing the fierce beast was rus.h.i.+ng to the disciples with its mouth wide open, at this moment, Ding Hao did not have the time to consider. He simply performed the Yan (Smoke) Technique of Yan Tao Mi Li Technique. Then, like a wisp of smoke in the dark, he instantly came near the disciples and the beast.

Swoos.h.!.+

Ding Hao stabbed forward with his sword and went toward the fierce beast.

The fierce beast looked in shock. In its scarlet pupils, Ding Hao’s figure was reflected. He was rus.h.i.+ng toward it.

It stopped hiding, raised its head, and roared. Then, it actually stood up with its feet supporting it on the ground. It waved its claws and slapped hard toward Ding Hao.

Boom!

Huge forces collided.

A wave of force poured in. Ding Hao’s body shook but he did not regress.
