119: A more powerful thunder beast

Qin Shilei looked up, and the group of Thunder Beasts were still enjoying their lightning bath, unaware that their companion was already injured and had run down the mountain.

Silver Dragon!

Qin Shilei shot another arrow, hoping to kill the Thunder Beast that had lost its left eye.

The fleeing Thunder Beast stretched out a forelimb and swatted away the arrow, which was full of lightning energy.

Silver Dragon was a powerful attack that even a Tyrant couldn't block, yet it was swatted away?

No, the power of Silver Dragon lay in its aggressive lightning elemental energy, but Thunder Beasts could immunize against most lightning-attribute attacks.

That's why the first Silver Dragon only blew out one of its eyes.

Watching the Thunder Beast approach, Qin Shilei put away his short bow and took out Blood Soul, preparing himself.

"Let me test your strength first."

The Thunder Beast got closer and closer, then leaped, pouncing down from a height.

Qin Shilei stepped with his left foot, sidestepping the Thunder Beast's pounce, and Blood Soul stabbed towards the Thunder Beast's neck.

The Thunder Beast in mid-air, however, stretched out a forelimb and swatted forcefully, using its thick, fleshy palm to strike the sharp Blood Soul.

Upon contact, Qin Shilei felt a huge force transmit from Blood Soul, making his palm tingle.

And only a shallow bloodstain appeared on the Thunder Beast's fleshy palm.

So strong!

It was at least two or three stars stronger than the Thunder Beast he encountered in the bamboo forest.

Seven Stars Falling Across the Sky!

Qin Shilei no longer clashed head-on with the Thunder Beast, his Blood Soul continuously stabbing at the Thunder Beast's defensive openings.

With the last sword strike, he leaped up, slashing at the Thunder Beast's head.

The Thunder Beast tried to block Blood Soul with its hand again, but the greatly empowered combat skill sliced off its wrist and then its head.

"You little thing, no matter how strong you are, you'll still be a soul under my sword."

Qin Shilei casually put away the treasure chest and the Thunder Beast's corpse from the ground.

"Awooo!"

Suddenly, roars of Thunder Beasts came from the mountaintop.

Qin Shilei looked up and saw that the lightning on the mountaintop had stopped at some point, and the group of Thunder Beasts were all looking in his direction.

Oh no!

Before he could hide back in the shadow of the boulder, the group of Thunder Beasts charged down furiously.

The charging Thunder Beasts were like ten thousand horses galloping, raising clouds of dust and causing the mountain to tremble.

Qin Shilei took off running, but his direction was not where An Qian and the others were hiding.

There were at least one or two hundred of these Thunder Beasts, and their strength was even greater than those encountered in the bamboo forest.

With such a number and strength of Thunder Beasts, even if Qin Shilei activated One-Punch Man in conjunction with An Qian and the others, it was uncertain if they could kill this group of Thunder Beasts, but they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

If he were to lead the Thunder Beasts to An Qian and the others at this moment, it would only put everyone in danger simultaneously.

Qin Shilei sprinted ahead, with a large group of terrifyingly strong Thunder Beasts behind him.

The Thunder Beasts charged down, causing rocks to tumble and dust to fly, creating an earth-shattering roar.

Such a mighty sound naturally caught the attention of everyone in the bamboo forest down the mountain.

Zhang Xiaoli's expression changed, and she was about to rush out: "Qin Ge is in danger, let's go help him!"

An Qian grabbed Zhang Xiaoli, "Don't be impulsive, Qin Shilei's speed is faster than the Thunder Beasts, he won't be caught up to for now."

Zhang Xiaoli glared at An Qian, "Are we just going to watch the Thunder Beasts catch up to Qin Ge? Let Qin Ge face so many Thunder Beasts alone?"

"Calm down," An Qian advised, "We're not ignoring him, we just shouldn't expose our whereabouts for now, lest we attract the Thunder Beasts and make Qin Shilei worry about us again."

Zhang Xiaoli had only been momentarily flustered, but upon reflection, she realized it was indeed true.

Her strength and An Qian's were much weaker than Qin Shilei's. Since Qin Shilei hadn't led the Thunder Beasts over, he must have felt that the group of Thunder Beasts posed too much of a threat to their group.

And right now, those Thunder Beasts hadn't managed to catch up to Qin Shilei, which meant he wasn't in much danger yet.

If she were to run out like this, she might end up needing Qin Shilei to rescue her, thereby forcing everyone to confront the Thunder Beasts head-on.

"We'll follow from below the bamboo forest," An Qian pointed to the bamboo forest on the right.

Then she turned and said to Lu Tian罡 and the others, "What are your thoughts?"

"We'll follow you," Lu Tian罡 said without hesitation.

"Good," Xia Yunyan replied with a cold single word.

"I, Xie Xingjian, have never had the habit of abandoning allies," Xie Xingjian said with a resolute expression.

"Let's catch up first and see if there's a chance to slaughter this group of Thunder Beasts," Hua Feng also nodded and said.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli turned and rushed towards the bamboo forest on the right.

Lu Tian罡 and his two subordinates pushed off with their feet and also chased after them.

"Let's go too," Xia Yunyan called to her only remaining subordinate, and they also rushed forward.

"Hmph, fools, with Qin leading the Thunder Beasts away, it's the perfect time for me to reach the mountaintop."

Hua Feng sneered, then turned and ran up the mountain.

His two subordinates, who had already received his signal, followed closely behind, sprinting up the mountain.

Lu Tian罡 and Xia Yunyan, who witnessed this scene, were visibly stunned.

They hadn't expected the usually boisterous Fire King to have such intentions.

Their steps slowed, and a hint of hesitation appeared.

An Qian's voice carried on the wind to their ears, "Have you considered carefully? The mountaintop might not necessarily be safe."

"Since we've formed an alliance, of course we'll advance and retreat together," Lu Tian罡 said righteously, then quickly caught up.

"The Soldier King is absolutely right," Xia Yunyan swayed and also caught up.

Indeed, as An Qian said, the mountaintop might not be safe.

Now that Hua Feng had already gone up the mountain ahead of them, if there truly were treasures, he would get them first, and it wouldn't be their turn.

And if there was danger, it would be good to let Hua Feng scout ahead.

At this moment, Qin Shilei had already led the group of Thunder Beasts into the bamboo forest, charging away in the distance with great momentum.

An Qian and the others followed behind the Thunder Beasts, neither too close nor too far.

Qin Shilei's speed was faster than the Thunder Beasts, gradually widening the distance between them.

Seeing that the Thunder Beasts couldn't catch up to him, he suddenly had another idea.

He led the Thunder Beasts directly towards the outermost boundary of the bamboo forest.

To prevent the Thunder Beasts from simply turning back to the mountaintop, Qin Shilei would occasionally turn around and shoot an arrow.

Although these ordinary arrows couldn't harm the Thunder Beasts, they enraged them, causing them to continue their relentless pursuit.

After about half an hour, Qin Shilei reached the boundary of the bamboo forest, which was also the furthest point from the large mountain.

By this time, the group of Thunder Beasts had fallen several hundred meters behind and were no longer pursuing as desperately.

Qin Shilei ran another thousand meters or so along the boundary, then turned and ran towards the large mountain.

After running one or two kilometers, he happened to meet An Qian and the others, who had circled around.

The Thunder Beasts behind them were no longer in sight, only faint sounds of running occasionally heard from afar.

Qin Shilei shouted, "Turn back, we're going to the mountaintop!"

Hearing this, An Qian and the others quickly turned and ran towards the large mountain.
