46: Frantically fleeing, Han Lie faces the black wildebeest king, danger!!
Old Ge moved swiftly, leaping out of the dense forest and appearing before the students in the blink of an eye, while Zhao Li was even three parts faster than him, shouting, "Quick, get out of here!"
The students were confused by the words, but they could sense from the expressions of the two teachers that danger seemed to be approaching!
"This way!" Old Ge indicated a direction.
At this moment, everyone heard the ground trembling slightly, and looking back, everything in sight was enveloped in black smoke!
"What the hell!"
"So many Black Horned Horses?!"
Dozens versus hundreds presented a completely different visual impact. Now, the Black Horned Horse herd seemed to have flattened the path before them, coming for their lives!
There was no time to think.
Everyone, following the teachers' guidance, used all their strength to flee madly. Xin Yao, for instance, moved the moment she spotted the Black Horned Horse herd.
She directly abandoned the prey she was about to kill.
"—Flee!"
Once a group reaches a certain scale, it cannot be shaken by ordinary Martial Warriors; the will formed by the former is unbreakable.
Indeed, strong individuals like Zhao Li and Old Ge were genuine Martial Warrior Rank 3s, representing the ceiling of strength capable of entering this secret realm.
However,
Facing such a frenzied group, they dared not confront it head-on.
"—Flee!"
Human biological instinct drove everyone to leave, but...!
The Black Horned Horse herd,
Seemed unwilling to let them go.
Especially after discovering the scattered corpses, they became even more frenzied.
"—Hiss!"
A large black horse let out a loud neigh, and then the herd behind it seemed to receive some command, their iron hooves pointing like swords at the fleeing students.
"Oh no!"
Zhao Li heard the increasingly close sound behind him and knew that the Black Horned Horse herd had marked them. Today would likely not end well.
He immediately made a decision.
"Old Ge, you take the students to evacuate from this side. Beyond this dense forest, there's a swamp. It should be safe there!"
"Then you..."
"I'll lure them away!"
It was an incredibly touching scene. Zhao Li gave Old Ge no chance to speak, then stepped forward to provoke the Black Horned Horse herd, attempting to lure them in another direction!
The action was indeed effective;
The Black Horned Horses were truly enraged by him!
"Neigh! Neigh!"
The horses neighed loudly,
Charging directly at the fleeing Zhao Li!
Seeing this, Old Ge quickly led the students in escape. However, what he didn't expect was that the Black Horned Horse herd, which had been madly pursuing Zhao Li, suddenly split off a large portion under the leadership of the large black horse, and...
They seemed to know the direction they were fleeing.
And came for them!
"Damn beasts!"
Old Ge's heart sank.
He knew these things weren't that easy to deal with. Fierce beasts were also a part of the Universe of Myriad Races; those that could survive were naturally not brainless. They possessed intelligence.
However,
Old Ge quickly thought of a countermeasure.
The whole could not be resisted.
Then, break it into parts!
"Xin Yao!"
He shouted as he retreated.
"I'm here!" Xin Yao's calm and clear voice came from the right rear of the formation.
"Take a few of the slower ones and retreat to the front left, quickly!"
"—Yes!" Xin Yao didn't say a single unnecessary word, directly grabbing two classmates beside her. Her agile figure was like a wild leopard, entering the dense forest as if returning home.
Indeed,
The Black Horned Horses split again.
"It worked!" Old Ge's mood eased. As long as the overall strength of the Black Horned Horse group was separated, then one-on-one, it shouldn't pose too much of a threat to these students.
Thinking this, he repeated the method.
"Cui Dazhi!"
"Here!"
"Take a few classmates and go that way!"
"Yes!" Cui Dazhi's first reaction was to grab Han Lie, but the latter directly shook his head at him. Dazhi was also sensible and, seeing this, directly pulled a few people beside him to evacuate.
"Li Tong, you take Zhaohai, Wang Yiming, and Huo Ping, and retreat to the right! Be careful not to go too deep; that's the wild ox's living area!"
"—Yes!"
Old Ge's thinking became increasingly clear. He could even precisely assign specific tasks to each student and know the distribution of prey in nearby areas while fleeing.
This was the mark of an experienced teacher.
Han Lie immediately gave a thumbs-up. He wasn't panicking at all now. The teachers were tense not because they couldn't escape, but because they needed to consider the weaker students.
The students' skill levels varied, and their mindsets couldn't be on the same level. So, for those at the bottom, facing the Black Horned Horse herd, the probability of death was indeed extremely high.
But Han Lie prided himself on having no problems.
If he, a 'crooked gourd' on the verge of his fourth bone tempering, possessing several invincible attributes, and whose Dao had reached the pinnacle of perfection... if someone with such comprehensive qualities could die so easily,
Then this secret realm,
Should be called the human death forbidden zone.
He was fearless.
"Han Lie!" At this moment, Old Ge suddenly called out.
"Here!" Han Lie responded in a deep voice.
"You take Bai He Wan and go to the right!"
"Yes!" Han Lie immediately complied.
Seeing Han Lie also so obedient, Old Ge felt much more relaxed. In fact, he had a little ulterior motive at this time.
Why did he only let Han Lie take Bai He Wan?
Because two people presented a smaller target, and the probability of danger was naturally smaller. The reason for such preferential treatment towards Han Lie was partly personal subjective will, and also because Han Lie was a talented individual valued by the school authorities.
He was quite confident in Han Lie.
Even if the latter had no movement techniques, his physical quality was sufficient. Charging in one direction would allow him to escape the pursuit of the Black Horned Horse herd.
Moreover,
He knew Bai He Wan's family. She was well-traveled and knowledgeable, and in such complex situations, she could think calmly and wouldn't cause trouble for Han Lie.
And Old Ge had reason to suspect that Bai He Wan definitely had life-saving means on her. With multiple layers of insurance, he believed Han Lie would definitely return safely.
However,
However!
What happened in the next second sent Old Ge's heart into his throat. The large black horse, which had been pursuing the main group and never left, suddenly charged directly towards Han Lie!
"Beast!"
Old Ge picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the opponent, but the large black horse didn't even turn its head, as if Han Lie had killed its mother.
"How could this be! How could this be!"
Old Ge couldn't understand why this was happening, and he had no time to think further. He was about to rush over.
But behind him...
Were the weakest students in the class. They panicked instantly when they saw Old Ge about to leave.
"Teacher, where are you... going?"
"...I!" Old Ge hesitated instantly. He could show preferential treatment to Han Lie, but he couldn't abandon the other students.
While he hesitated,
The large horse and Han Lie were already moving further and further away.
And just at this moment,
A sound suddenly came from ahead. A head suddenly emerged from the dense jungle. Seeing the newcomer, Old Ge's mood was like a roller coaster, instantly filled with joy.
"Lao Zhao!"
"How are things?" Zhao Li asked.
"Quick, go!" Old Ge directly pointed in a direction, "Han Lie is over there, the Black Horned Horse King is charging towards him!"
"Damn it!" Zhao Li's eyelids twitched instantly. No wonder he hadn't seen that large black horse, but it really knew how to pick its targets!
A Rank 2 large horse!
Leading a group of its kind!
Are you seriously picking on the weakest ones?
Thinking this, he didn't hesitate and immediately rushed in the direction Old Ge pointed, while the latter also decided not to continue fleeing.
He quickly assessed the strength of the remaining Black Horned Horses and immediately organized the students:
"Damn it, we've run enough!"
"Even a clay Buddha has a three-point temper. Chasing us like this, do you really think your grandpa can't lift his Dao anymore?"
Old Ge directly turned around.
Facing the Black Horned Horse herd head-on.
..........
And on this side,
Han Lie was the same.
"Don't want to run anymore, I'm tired."
"Mhm!" Bai He Wan nodded in agreement.
"Let's see if we can kill it!" Han Lie said.
"Okay, okay!" Bai He Wan nodded again, then stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Han Lie.
"???" Han Lie thought, 'No, that's not right.'
"I have to let a woman protect me?"
With that,
He directly reached out, pulling Bai He Wan completely behind him, then pulled out his large broadsword from his embrace, and in a very casual stance, directly faced the charging Black Horned Horse herd.
