The deeper they went, the darker and wetter it got. Several minutes later, Xiao Fang could hear some movement up ahead. It was the cannibal abnormal beast.

{”Xiao Hei, wait here.”} He said via spirit transmission.

Xiao Hei could see well in the dark, so she carried the Supreme Elder to the wall then hid behind the rocks. Once she was hidden, Xiao Fang went into [ Stealth ] then continued going deeper into the cave.

The cannibal abnormal beast was oblivious to Xiao Fang's approach, but it still kept its back to the wall just in case.

Eventually, Xiao Fang walked into a large open space. When he was close enough to see the cannibal beast with his own eyes, he noticed that the cut he left on its chest had stopped bleeding, but the wound was still there.

'It's still too weak to fight, I can end this quickly.'

However, before Xiao Fang could attack, he heard the 2nd abnormal beast entering the cave.

Xiao Fang frowned as he turned his head. The abnormal beast was still several hundred meters away, but at the speed it was going it wouldn't take long for it to reach where they were.

'This one is fast. It's even faster than me,' Xiao Fang thought.

He didn't want to be sandwiched between the two abnormal beasts so he returned back to Xiao Hei.

{”Fang, is it over already?”}

{”Not yet.”}

Suddenly, the speedy abnormal beast rushed past Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei who were in hiding. Although it was moving fast Xiao Fang was able to get a good look at it before it passed him.

It was 2 meters tall, had dark navy eyes, thick goat-like legs, a naked tanned upper body, and long grey hair.

Usually, the smaller beasts meant they were weaker, but just like the cannibal beast, the quick abnormal beast wasn't much taller than 2 meters in height, and it stood up straight like an average human would.

{”Is it another cannibal?”} Xiao Hei asked.

Xiao Fang shook his head, because its eyes weren't red.

{”Let's get closer.”}

Xiao Fang didn't run very fast because he didn't want to be heard, so by the time they reached the open space, the two abnormal beasts were already fighting.

To Xiao Fang's surprise, the cannibal abnormal beast wasn't the only one capable of using illusory techniques, the other abnormal beast was also capable of using them as well. As it ran it created after-images of itself, making it extremely difficult to hit.

'It's stalling,' Xiao Fang thought.

A single full forced kick from the quick abnormal beast would easily incapacitate the weakened cannibal abnormal beast, but it was holding back. Even though its defenses were relatively low, it didn't seem too worried about taking hits from the exhausted cannibal abnormal beast. It almost seemed staged, but for who?

'Why won't it finish it off?' Xiao Fang thought.

{”Fang.”} Xiao Hei suddenly said as she lightly tugged on his sleeve.

The ground was lightly trembling. Xiao Fang was too focused on the fight to notice it, but once he did, he quickly found out what was causing it.

{”More are coming. Let's move.”} Xiao Fang said.
