Chapter 92: Land of the Beast King (1/2)

”Roar–”

When Yun Wu approached the depths of the forest, a distant roar of a tiger was vaguely heard.

A tiger?

Hadn't she just heard wolves' roars?

However, Yun Wu didn't slow down a little bit, flashing towards the source of the roar as fast as she could.

Because she could sense that the two assassins were getting closer and closer...

The whole sky was shrouded in boundless dark night.

It was just that this night was different. An intangible compressive Qi was gradually pervading the space above the whole forest.

Was it because of the two Grand Assassins?

No!

It wasn't!

Because, under that Qi, even those low-level magic beasts on the periphery of the forest seemed to have felt that intangible stress, lowering their bodies. They stayed still even when Yun Wu passed them.

This was by no means from the two assassins.

Originally, Yun Wu barely felt anything.

But suddenly, an inexplicable, weird feeling clutched at her heart and with that she intuitively sensed danger.

And what gave her that feeling was in the front.

”Howl–”

Another howl was heard. It was more distinct than those previous vague ones.

This suggested that Yun Wu was getting closer and closer.

”Damn girl. I'll break your legs the moment I catch you,” a cold, angry yell emanated from a position not far away behind her.

Yun Wu knitted her eyebrows tightly together.

It seemed that she didn't have any time to hesitate. She had to either fight the two Grand Assassins behind her or keep progressing.

Yun Wu always trusted her intuition.

At full speed, she shot towards the depths of the forest. No matter what kind of danger was in there, she could definitely drag the two assassins into it.

An unusual smell of blood wafted across the dark sky.

In the pitch-black night, three figures just kept going deeper and deeper into the forest.

”Roar–”

”Howl–”

”... ”

From time to time, roars of magic beasts rippled through the forest under the black sky.

However, those magic beasts seemed to be not fighting but cooperating, since those roars were let out very regularly.

However, this regularity was soon ruined by a figure intruding in the depths of the forest.

Yun Wu barely had any time to observe, since the two Grand Assassins were closing in on her.

She seemed to have sensed that something blocked her path.

Almost instinctively, Yun Wu directly leaped upwards, enveloped herself in wind element and abruptly dashed towards a dark cave in the distance at full speed.

Those magic beasts guarding the cave at the entrance didn't have enough time to react.

After being stunned for a second, they reacted...

”Roar–Roar–Roar–”

”Howl–Howl–Howl–”

”Hiss–Hiss–”

”Guh–Guh–Guh–”

Furious roars of magic beasts instantly came from all directions.

If it were during daytime, this scene outside the cave could definitely scare people to death.

There were tigers, wolves, lions, leopards, snakes, eagles...

Both terrestrial beasts and flying beasts congregated outside this cave on this night. Innumerable magic beasts crowded almost the whole depths of this forest, green light gleaming in their eyes.

However, when those magic beasts were provoked, another two figures shot over at full speed.

”Quack... ”

Eagle Condors' piercing shrieks were heard.

Before the two Grand Assassins could enter the black cave, a flock of Eagle Condors flew upwards, letting out furious shrieks that could almost perforate people's eardrum.

”Roar–”

Wrathful roars of numerous beasts were heard.

It was at this moment that Eighteen and Nineteen realized what kind of place they had just intruded into.

In order to catch up with Yun Wu, they also didn't observe the surroundings, and they just shot right towards the target as fast as they could when they were getting close.

But now, when they saw the scene down below and that more and more flying beasts were coming at them, their faces changed almost at the same time.

”Thi–This seems to be the Land of Beast King in this forest,” holding his sword, Eighteen looked around with a slightly startled look on his face.

There was a king of magic beasts in almost every forest, just like there was a ruler in every country in human society.

But situation in the territory of magic beasts was not as complex as that of human territory.

The Beast King of this forest was the head of all magic beasts living in this forest.

Generally speaking, the Land of Beast King was surrounded by a lot of magic beasts. Humans, once intruded into the Land of Beast King, would be attacked by magic beasts living in this forest.

As a result, even if humans wanted to hunt magic beasts, they usually did it on the periphery. Hardly anybody would venture into the depths of the forest.

Today, they dared to intrude into the Land of Beast King?

Nineteen swallowed hard. That Eagle Condor leading the pack was at Tier V, and all those behind it were at Tier IV at the lowest.

Tier-V magic beasts were nothing in their eyes if there were only a small number of them.

But currently, there were hundreds even thousands in front of them.

Even a whole team of assassins probably wouldn't be able to handle so many magic beasts, not to mention only the two of them.

”Retreat!”

”What about the task master assigned to us?”
