Right now, the most important thing is to quickly lead the brothers through the checkpoint.
This place is not suitable to stay for long. Such a large-scale slaughter, the smell of blood is too strong, and it may attract attacks from other Fierce Beasts.
The Junior Brothers who received the Master Brother’s command sped up their weapon wielding.
Swords and blades pierced flesh, blood and flesh flew, the smell of blood lingered in the air.
Everyone dealt with the Fierce Beasts more skillfully, greatly reducing the time required to break through defenses.
Though unclear why, they were not fools, and seized this great opportunity with swift, ruthless precision—two people combined could take down one Fierce Deer in just over ten moves.
The increasingly exhausted Fierce Deer were no longer a match for the crowd.
Even in large numbers, they couldn’t halt their advance.
The Deer King also felt his body floating, his steps heavy.
Despite standing tall, his powerful body attacks slowed significantly.
Each attack missed its mark.
He grew incredibly irritable.
Heh heh!
Learned your lesson, huh!
Thought it’d be fun to take me on a roller coaster, did you?
Amidst the smoke, as the crowd’s visibility waned, she quickly switched to the Soldier’s Shovel.
The shovel, which sliced steel like mud, did not disappoint her.
Every thrust cut into flesh, raising a spectacle of flying blood and gore.
When luck was on her side, she could stab into bone, making Cheng Xiaoxiao even more thrilled and bloodthirsty.
Cursing while stabbing, like a crazed bloodthirsty person.
The Deer King, engulfed in anger, felt increasingly fatigued.
The painful places on his body kept shifting, until it was unbearable all over.
His blood-red eyes brimmed with rage.
In a frenzy, the Deer King lost control and began indiscriminate attacks.
Seeing the bad situation, everyone quickly fled, staying far from the Beast King’s attack zone, but the crowded Beast herd wasn’t as lucky.
One swipe was enough to smash several little beasts into pulp.
In the Deer King’s chaotic mind, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s scent remained, chasing her relentlessly, not stopping until death.
The scene was chaotic, flesh pulp everywhere, limbs flying, blood scent soaring, desperate wails echoed continuously, the Deer King trudged through them like a heavy-duty truck, indifferent to enemy or ally.
They lured the Beast King out of the checkpoint.
Mo Shang led the Junior Brothers swiftly through.
The little beasts fled, forgetting to attack humans, and they successfully broke through.
Seeing the situation, Cheng Xiaoxiao realized it was time to wrap things up.
Regarding the checkpoint, even with the Deer King guarding, Cheng Xiaoxiao had little difficulty passing through, having led away the Beast King, a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals were nothing to her.
Metal arrow tips gleamed chillingly as they deeply embedded into the mountain wall.
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s body soared like an arrow released.
She leapt over the mad Deer King’s head.
"Little Deer, if you weren’t so big, capturing you would risk exposure. You thought you could still be cocky, huh! Consider yourself lucky, farewell."
She stomped fiercely, her figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
The Deer King, who noticed the target switching direction, turned back, already lost her scent.
Angrily, he smashed the surrounding rocks.
Before landing, she collected some small beasts into her space, leaving the checkpoint effortlessly.
A few kilometers away, in a small forest, they gathered, dragging their exhausted bodies.
Having barely escaped death.
Everyone lay on the ground haphazardly, breathing heavily.
It was really too thrilling just now.
Thankfully, they survived.
Seeing the Master Brother return safely from the rear, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
All were accounted for.
The easygoing Junior Brothers marveled at the hunt, where accidents occurred frequently, exceptionally thrilling, secretly swearing never to return.
Only the Rhino looked back, waiting expectantly.
Why hasn’t Little Brother Xiao come out yet?
He turned to look at everyone.
"Did anyone see Junior Brother Xiao?"
They exchanged glances, shaking their heads, no one saw him.
Brother Little Moustache stood as well, indeed they hadn’t noticed that annoying figure.
Could he not have made it out?
Didn’t they see him escape at that time?
What’s going on?
The Rhino’s expression became increasingly serious.
Worried that Little Brother Xiao might not make it, anxious, his eyelids twitched.
An ominous premonition surfaced.
He ran to Mo Shang, who had just returned.
The Master Brother was the last to leave, surely he’d know Junior Brother Xiao’s whereabouts.
"Master Brother, Master Brother, did you see Junior Brother Xiao?"
Rhino’s anxious look fell into Mo Shang’s eyes, making him uncomfortable and frustrated.
Recalling the conversation from a quarter of an hour ago filled him with doubts and confusion, with no outlet, a fire still burned within his heart, yet this big fool of a Rhino came to blame him, unable to vent, he was forced to act as if he was very saddened.
He felt terribly strained.
Back to earlier.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, face smeared with blood and clothes in tatters, caught up step with Mo Shang.
"Master Brother, I want to say a few words."
Mo Shang also had many questions, but politely responded.
"Please speak!"
Through this battle, her combat power was undeniable, her abilities exceeded his in every respect, her calling him Master Brother was by choice, not sentiment, hence his words carried more respect.
"Here’s the thing, we’ve escaped danger now, and the road ahead should be safer near the perimeter. My identity can’t stand scrutiny. I can’t be discovered in the sect, so I’d like to use this chance to slip away."
Before Cheng Xiaoxiao finished, Mo Shang interrupted, "I can help conceal your identity temporarily and redo it later."
Meaning it’s a minor issue he could assist with. freewebnoveℓ.com
"No, no, that’ll be too troublesome. I have many missions to complete, can’t stay long. When you regroup, just tell them I was devoured by the Beast King, and about the reward we agreed on, I will claim it when next possible."
Mo Shang’s expression froze upon hearing this, knowing the reward’s cost. It’s nothing but handing himself over, then being under the Phoenix Envoy.
Such identity caused him immense embarrassment and annoyance.
Her little mouth kept babbling, "It’s said the Elder Council at Danqing Peak can concoct elixirs to curb the epidemic, hoping your city’s epidemic gets resolved soon. I won’t need a return trip shortly. But how events unfold, nobody can guarantee. Let me set a deadline, if unresolved within half a month, I’ll be back."
Cheng Xiaoxiao sincerely analyzed, assigning tasks post her departure.
Once controlled, the red dot vanishes. If it still flashes in half a month, proving the situation out of control, she must return.
Mo Shang initially had many queries, noticing her urgency, unexpectedly asked, "Are you keen to leave now?"
Regret followed post-question.
