The Scar of Tianshan Mountain had remained in its unspoiled state. Living creatures here would either eat or be eaten. There was no law of the jungle. It was all about survival!
The alliance was strong once the Mages came together. They kept advancing by killing the demon creatures, but their lives were at stake as they continued to attract more scavengers. These scavengers were good at teaming up against a common enemy. They were not as ignorant as the humans!
The beasts had found a huge piece of cake. A single scavenger could not possibly eat the entire cake. If it chose to wait for more scavengers…
“A Ruler-level Flying Snow Fox has appeared,” Nanyu said softly.
“It feels like they are preparing a crusade against us,” Jiang Yu said grimly.
“We’ve left a trail of blood and magic presence behind us, not to mention the noise of the battles… it is going to attract all the scavengers within a few kilometers,” Ai Jiangtu warned them.
“When do you think they will make their moves?” Mo Fan asked Jiang Shaoxu.
“When we arrive at the next species’ territory,” Jiang Shaoxu surmised.
“We are screwed then; these scavengers are too united!” Zhao Manyan complained.
Most scavengers were solitary creatures. They would have long ended up as other creatures’ food if they were not strong enough to protect themselves!
“Should we stop somewhere and deal with the things that are on our tail?” Bertan proposed.
“And how can we do that? They are maintaining their distance from us. If we attack them, they will just scatter and run!” Xing Hui said impatiently.
“We don’t have the time to stop here. These scavengers are just like us. Their coalition will break easily. They are planning to take us out first before fighting among themselves. The first storm is on its way, so this hunt must make sure they have enough food supply to last until spring. They are very cautious, but they are determined too,” Yassen declared.
“Are we really running out of time?”
“Yes, it will be a close call, and that’s assuming our path back is clear and smooth!”
“Let’s do it then. We have no choice but to force our way through the Ice Mountain Beasts ahead,” Klope said.
“We have to be careful. The Ice Mountain Beasts aren’t our only worry!” Yassen glanced at the walls nearby.
The figures moving in the shadows, the cunning grimaces of the demon creatures, the peeping eyes hidden in the blind spots, and the greedy intentions surrounding the alliance from all directions… those were the ones they should keep an eye on!
“We are getting closer to the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. This will be a very important battle!” Yassen said.
He had already told everyone where the Tianshan Sacred Lotus was. The opening in the two huge walls was already within their view. They should be able to see the light of the Sacred Lotus once they crossed the Ice Mountain Beasts territory. Everyone was aware of the Sacred Lotus’ value, even if it was not the reason they had come to Tianshan Mountain in the first place.
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
