153: Chapter 153 The Mist-Swallowing Python Strikes

Just as Yun Chenfei finished killing all the nearby Yao Beasts, the Misty Heaven-Swallowing Python deep within the Misty Forest seemed to sense something.

The Misty Heaven-Swallowing Python let out an angry roar, and its massive body suddenly launched into the air, flying rapidly toward the direction where Yun Chenfei was located.

Yun Chenfei was completely unaware of all this; he was still fully immersed in the joy brought about by the changes in the soul devouring spear, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

"At the current repair speed of the soul devouring spear, it won't be long before it returns to its Peak state, and perhaps it can even go a step further and become a top-grade Sacred Artifact."

Feeling the increasingly powerful energy surging from the soul devouring spear in his hand, Yun Chenfei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

With Yun Chenfei's help, the soul devouring spear quickly devoured all the essence blood of the surrounding Yao Beasts.

Afterward, Yun Chenfei, holding the soul devouring spear, turned into a streak of green light and vanished from the spot instantly.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Misty Forest, the battle between the Human Cultivators and the Yao Beasts had officially entered a white-hot stage.

Whether it was the Human Cultivators or the Yao Beast clan, both sides were blinded by bloodlust.

On the devastated battlefield, there were severed limbs and flesh everywhere, and the glaring blood had long since stained the earth red.

From all directions, the air was filled with hoarse shouts and roars, and the Human Cultivators were desperately charging with all their might against the dense encirclement of Yao Beasts.

The Yao Beasts were even more relentless, throwing themselves forward one after another, completely disregarding their own lives, and time and again they repelled the fierce attacks of the Human Cultivators.

"This piecemeal tactic is a taboo in warfare; the number of Yao Beasts will only increase, while our number of Human Cultivators is dwindling."

"We need to change our method of breaking through; if we keep going like this, we will die here sooner or later."

Glancing at the Yao Beasts that were continuously arriving from deep within the forest and then quickly joining the battlefield, Chen Zihan said with a frown.

"Brother Chen, do you mean we should break through separately and fight on our own?"

"But with so many Yao Beasts on the other side, if we split up, I'm afraid we'll die even faster."

Jiang Geyao asked, looking puzzled.

"No, I mean we should change our breakout direction and use a flanking maneuver."

"Look behind us; there are no Yao Beasts blocking the way at all."

After slashing a Yao Beast to death with his sword, Chen Zihan said.

"We just escaped here from deep in the forest; there's no reason to go back," Ox Two grunted.

"Benefactor Ox, Benefactor Chen means we should make a tactical retreat first, and then choose a place with fewer Yao Beasts to break through," Little Monk Jiujie said, rolling his eyes at Ox Two.

"Retreat my ass! In my opinion, we should all attack with full force and charge straight out. I'll take the lead!"

Seeing Little Monk Jiujie's eye-roll, Ox Two retorted unceremoniously.

"Truly worthy of being an Ox-head Monster; that stubborn temper is too much. If we charge directly like that, even if we don't die, we'll be severely injured or crippled."

"Furthermore, there is a Sixth-Ranked Demonic Beast at the Early Stage and one at the Middle Stage guarding the other side. Can you withstand their attacks?"

After glaring fiercely at Ox Two, Jiang Geyao added.

Hearing this, Ox Two cautiously glanced at the two Sixth-Ranked Demonic Beasts in the center of the beast horde, then shut his mouth and said nothing more.

Afterward, led by Chen Zihan, the group of four including Ox Two quietly retreated toward the rear of the crowd.

The surrounding Yao Beasts saw the four returning into the forest and did not step forward to block them; the figures of the four soon vanished into the vast white mist.

After Yun Chenfei returned to his human form, his speed was a bit faster than before, and the further he ran outward, the thinner the surrounding mist became.

After eliminating a few more Yao Beasts searching in the forest, Yun Chenfei was not far from the place where the Human Cultivators and Yao Beasts were fiercely battling.

The sounds of the battle, along with bursts of roars and shouts, soon reached Yun Chenfei's ears.

"What's the situation up ahead? Could it be that someone is fighting against Yao Beasts?"

As Yun Chenfei quietly approached while concealing his aura, he thought to himself.

A moment later, Yun Chenfei encountered the group of four, including Chen Zihan, who had secretly retreated from the battlefield.

"Human brat?"

"It's you?"

As soon as they met, Ox Two and Yun Chenfei spoke in surprise almost simultaneously.

"This Benefactor, don't go any further. The road ahead has been blocked by the army of Yao Beasts, and there are two Sixth-Ranked Demonic Beasts guarding it; it's impossible to break through," Little Monk Jiujie said, pressing his palms together.

"Why don't you come with us to another place and look for a different way out?"

Hearing this, Yun Chenfei couldn't help but frown.

Although the Misty Forest was vast and boundless, its entrance was not very large. Other areas were surrounded by mountains, and to cross the mountains to get out, one had to face even more vicious flying Yao Beasts in the air.

In these mountains filled with white mist, encountering swarms of Yao Beasts that could also fly was undoubtedly even more dangerous.

Ox Two and his group were visiting the Misty Forest for the first time, so they didn't know about this situation, but Yun Chenfei was well aware of it.

Furthermore, he had clashed with those vicious and tyrannical flying Yao Beasts in the sky; with Yun Chenfei's First Grade Condensing Spirit Realm cultivation, he simply could not withstand them.

"Fellow Daoists, I advise you to give up that idea. Although I don't know how dangerous it is ahead, I can be certain that other routes will only be more treacherous than the beast horde in front."

Sweeping his gaze over the group of four including Chen Zihan, Yun Chenfei said softly.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? Are other routes also guarded by Yao Beasts?"

Glancing at Yun Chenfei, Chen Zihan then asked.

"It's not that they are guarded, but that we simply dare not fly here. To get out from other places, we can only climb over the surrounding mountains."

"And as soon as we ascend the mountains, we will definitely encounter attacks from flying Yao Beasts. They are much more vicious than the Yao Beasts on the ground. If we encounter swarms of flying Yao Beasts..."

"It's certain death!"

Seeing that the four had kindly warned him, Yun Chenfei did not hold back and shared what he knew with them as well.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky. Don't let me find out who provoked the Seventh Tier Monster Beast and caused it to trigger a beast tide, trapping us here."

"Otherwise, I, Old Ox, will definitely beat them until they're looking for their teeth all over the floor!"

Hearing Yun Chenfei's words, Ox Two said angrily.

"Oh, give it a rest, you Ox-head Monster. Someone who could provoke a Seventh Tier Monster Beast must be a Cultivator at the Hedao Realm. You think you can take them on?"

As soon as Ox Two finished speaking, Jiang Geyao began to mock him.

Hearing their conversation, Yun Chenfei began to mutter to himself.

"Could the person these two idiots are talking about, who provoked the Seventh Tier Monster Beast and triggered the beast tide, be me?"
