487: Dangers abound, it's a Shura field!

While fleeing for his life, the captain also activated the Beast Trapping Formation they had set up earlier, hoping it would serve as a hindrance.

However, this low-Rank Beast Trapping Formation was like paper in the face of the rampaging beast horde, which surged like a black tide, and was shattered by a single slap from the leading Vicious Beasts.

Seeing this, the members of the team were even more Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, each of them running for their lives.

Suddenly, a voice came, it was the voice of one of the team members.

“Ah!!! Save...”

But before anyone could turn back to look, the scream abruptly stopped, and that Cultivator was instantly torn to shreds by several Yao Beasts!

The remaining Cultivators were Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, yet, against the terrifying Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape horde, their speed was simply too slow.

The leading Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape had a body as thick as a small mountain, and with a few leaps, it caught up to the Cultivator running at the very back, then opened its massive mouth and swallowed him whole.

The Cultivator who died tragically didn't even have a chance to scream.

The members of the team gradually despaired, and facing this situation, the captain roared again:

“Scatter and flee for your lives, save whoever you can!!!”

With that, he proactively chose a direction and began to sprint diagonally.

The other team members also quickly chose what they thought was the best direction and scattered to escape.

Thus, everything was left to fate.

Behind them, a dark expanse was filled with the rampaging Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape horde; the dozens of members of their team appeared so small and powerless in the overwhelming beast tide.

Chen Ning's chosen direction was quite risky; he saw that the entire beast horde was charging north, so he gritted his teeth and dashed straight west.

He wanted to cross the beast horde's path before they arrived, and by doing so, he might just survive!

Chen Ning had already exerted all his strength; the Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape horde covered too wide an area. He had not yet left the Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape horde's marching route, but the distance between them was indeed continuously closing.

Fortunately, the strongest few Earth-Shaking Demonic Apes had not targeted him, so he still had a chance to escape. However, this meant that the other team members' chances of survival decreased.

“Faster, faster! Just a little more!!!”

Chen Ning roared wildly in his heart; he was about to break through. At that point, this mad Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape horde might continue to rush north and not pursue him.

But just then, an Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape leaped up, instantly appearing directly above Chen Ning.

It swung its fist, which was even harder than a Magic Treasure, striking straight down towards Chen Ning's head at an extremely fast speed.

If he were hit this time, Chen Ning would certainly perish on the spot!

He wanted to stop his body, but if he did, he would certainly be completely submerged by countless Earth-Shaking Demonic Apes!

“I don't care, I'll risk it! Let's see whose speed is faster!”

Chen Ning gritted his teeth, and his speed increased by half a point again; he wanted to rush directly past that terrifying fist!

When Chen Ning passed beneath the leaping Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape, he naively realized he was wrong...

The Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape's speed instantly increased a lot, and Chen Ning couldn't dodge it.

“Sigh... I'm still going to die here...”

Chen Ning sighed in his heart, feeling extremely regretful but not remorseful.

From the moment he stepped into the ruins, he knew he might perish. Those who feared death would never dare to enter the ruins!

He closed his eyes, and scenes of gentle memories from the depths of his heart flashed before him.

“Boom!”

“Ah!!!”

The sound of a direct hit arrived as expected, accompanied by a mournful scream.

But it wasn't Chen Ning who made it.

“Yang... Brother Yang!!!”

Chen Ning was completely stunned.

At this moment, someone was rushing over from the front, taking the punch from the Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape for him, and then a fishy-smelling blood splattered all over his body.

Chen Ning instantly shed tears, but he still maintained his speed, pulling Yang Zhen's body with both hands as he rushed out.

The Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape, having been momentarily blocked by Yang Zhen, failed to stop Chen Ning. Then, under immense force, its body directly punched the ground, raising a sky full of dust.

When the dust settled, there was no sign of the two of them.

The Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape could only give up, rejoining the beast tide and rushing towards the Northern Lands.

Chen Ning dragged Yang Zhen's mutilated body into a hidden cave, then sealed the entrance, and anxiously checked Yang Zhen's condition.

Yes, it was a mutilated body.

Yang Zhen had originally escaped, but he suddenly saw Chen Ning on the verge of death. Without thinking, he directly charged towards the Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape in the air.

He knew he was absolutely no match, but fortunately, he only needed to slightly hinder its attack to save Yang Ning.

However, the price of saving him was that Yang Zhen lost both of his arms.

Under that terrifying attack, his arms were directly annihilated. Unless his cultivation reached Nascent Void, or he obtained some extremely valuable Heaven And Earth Treasure, these arms would not recover.

“Brother Yang... I...”

Chen Ning choked, unable to speak.

Yang Zhen's pale face revealed a smile uglier than a dead man's, and he squeezed out a sentence from his throat:

“Brother Chen, I'm not dead yet... I keep my word...”

“Don't say anything more. I'll help you heal. Just fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up, we'll leave the ruins. In this life, I will definitely find a way to help you recover your arms!”

Yang Zhen did not respond again, and the entire cave fell into dead silence.

The predicament of Chen Ning's team was not an isolated case; throughout the entire ruins, all areas were under attack from beast tides from all directions.

At every moment, large numbers of Cultivators perished within, and even some camps were breached by the beast tide.

In the valley, a temporary camp established by a small Sect, the Formation light shield flickered violently and was on the verge of collapsing under the frantic assaults of countless flying Yao Beasts.

The Disciples inside the camp were pale-faced, looking at the dense, ferocious beast shadows outside the light shield, listening to the bone-jarring crashing sounds, and despair continuously spread.

By the river, Cultivators from one camp attempted to escape by using water escape.

But as soon as they submerged, they were attacked by swarms of water-type Immortal Demon Beasts, and blood instantly stained the river surface red.

On the plains, a medium-sized faction team led by several Origin Void Realm Experts was also continuously impacted by the surging beast tide.

The Origin Void Realm Experts in the team roared repeatedly, and the light of their Magic Treasures crisscrossed; each strike could kill large numbers of Yao Beasts.

But the beast tide seemed endless; no matter how many were killed, there were always more, and large numbers of low-Rank Disciples fell like cut wheat, their screams incessantly ringing out.

The entire ruins had turned into a Shura field!
