Chapter 314 - Cover (1/2)

”This isn't looking good.”

Jin Wang looked back and saw the tens of thousands of beasts coming straight towards them.

”Yeah, we're not gonna outrun that horde at this speed,” he commented. The situation's seriousness was apparent from his somber tone.

Hao Xuan turned towards him hopefully.

”You got any ideas?”

Jin Wang shook his head.

”Not much we can do at this point other than the obvious.”

Hao Xuan let out a helpless sigh.

”I was afraid you were gonna say that.”

The obvious Jin Wang was talking about was each of them taking turns and attacking the beasts below. Because as it were, the first wave of the horde constituted of the literal creepy crawlers that lived in this cliff.

These were relatively small 10 to 300-meter long bug type beasts.

The cliff was almost a world of its own. It went on for god knows how long and even this supermassive tornado that could wreak havoc even in the kingdom of Mei wouldn't be able to do anything to it.

The cliff's environment was scarce in both the number of resources and their variety. There was barely any vegetation and ones that did grow here were even more deadly than these beasts.

Still, many beasts called this cliff their home and their hunting ground. They were the fastest at climbing it and hence were at the forefront. They were also the most brutal ones since they had to compete with one another for food on a daily basis.

All the creatures that called the cliff their home had a few similar characteristics. They had extremely long and sharp claws that helped them traverse the cliff wall.

They had almost inexhaustible stamina.

They had extremely fast burst speeds which could be maintained for several hours at a time even.

And they were ferocious to the point of being categorized as demonic creatures.

And if these creatures managed to reach the squishy little lizards and the humans riding on top of them, they would become their mid-sprint snack in an instant.

The tornado was still almost a hundred kilometers away but the air pressure was already starting to increase. The winds were picking up more and more and it was getting hard to even see properly.

”I'll take first turn,” Jin Wang shouted. Hao Xuan nodded and stooped down, pulling Fortis who was dangling off his head and placed him in his shirt.

Fortis's cheeks swelled up in indignation as he protested and tried to climb back out, ”Noo~, I wanna see the big wind!”

”The big wind will take your dumb a*s away, stay inside for now!” Hao Xuan retorted while pushing him back inside.
