202: What a bargain

They were tricked!

But realizing it now was undoubtedly too late!

"Caw!"

Amidst a violent hurricane, the Golden Mane Griffin, bathed in flames, arrived above the Evil Cult camp.

When it saw the egg it had just laid shattered on the ground, the golden flames on its body surged!

Plunged into extreme fury, its blade-like pupils fell upon these Evil Cult members.

Looking at the still warm egg white and yolk on their clothes, the Golden Mane Griffin felt only endless rage!

With a roar, it suddenly swooped down.

It vowed to crush these guys who had killed its Child!

"I'll stop it, you go after them!"

A Man leading the Evil Cult, with a face as calm as water, blocked the Golden Mane Griffin's path.

He could tell that the Griffin in front of him, though mature, was not in its peak state.

This was likely due to laying the Griffin egg.

In this state, he was somewhat confident he could hold it off.

But it was only to hold it off.

The top priority was to recapture those five guys!

"The great mu centon will bless us."

The dozen or so Beast Masters behind, including two Junior Beast Grandmasters, after making a praying gesture, followed A Man's arrangement and instantly summoned their respective contracted beasts.

Flying sparrows (C), Rapid Snail (C-), Boulder Green Crab (C+)...

contracted beasts were summoned one by one.

The Beast Masters either jumped onto the back of a contracted beast or grabbed its feet.

Relying on the contracted beasts' extreme speed, they rapidly closed in on Gu Yan and the others who had run into the thick water mist!

From the Golden Mane Griffin's arrival to the pursuit by those Evil Cult members.

All of this happened in an extremely short amount of time.

It must be said, the actions of these cult members were absolutely textbook level.

Even though Gu Yan and the others got a head start, the other side relied on brute strength to rapidly close the distance between them!

Gu Yan glanced behind him, then looked at the situation of the few people in the group, realizing he had thought too simply.

Of the five of them, excluding Gu Yan himself and Duanmu Shuangkui, the remaining three were only Senior Beast Masters.

This level was considered good among peers.

But looking at the current situation... it was completely insufficient!

Behind them.

That was a pure lineup of Beast Masters, and there were even two Junior Beast Grandmasters among them!

Comparing the speed of the two groups, the difference was immediately apparent.

It wasn't just the difference in levels.

Among the five of them, two of the women, for some unknown reason, seemed injured, clearly enduring something, making even running difficult.

This simply wouldn't do.

Being caught was only a matter of time.

Someone had to stay behind to stop those people!

His steps paused, Gu Yan stopped.

"Gu Ge? Run!" The Fatty who had caught up behind him, not understanding the situation, shouted at Gu Yan.

"I'll stop these people."

His concise tone made the four turn their heads.

Duanmu Shuangkui endured her flushed face and suppressed her voice, saying, "Are you crazy?

The weakest of those people are at the same level as you.

What are you trying to prove now?

Are you in a hurry to die?"

"Shut your mouth!" A flicker of coldness flashed in his eyes, causing Duanmu Shuangkui to choke.

The next breath.

Gu Yan took out his long sword from Ye Tian's System space and walked towards the pursuers!

"He clearly can't stop them, so why go..." Watching Gu Yan, who didn't hesitate at all, act almost as if sacrificing himself.

Duanmu Shuangkui was momentarily stunned.

Gu Yan's speed wasn't slow, but the other side's speed was even faster!

During the run, Ye Tian's voice appeared in Gu Yan's mind.

"Ding ~ Detected Host's opponents.

There are two Junior Beast Grandmasters and thirteen Beast Masters.

The opponents' combat power exceeds the Host's power range.

Does the Host need to consume points to have the System help resolve this?"

Looking at the fifteen people in front of him and their charging contracted beasts, Gu Yan shook his head slightly: "I want to try it myself first and see if I can stop these people!"

With that said.

Gu Yan suddenly opened his beast taming space.

The Super Nut Hamster was summoned by him.

"Hamster, their contracted beasts are up to you!" As he spoke, Gu Yan clashed head-on with the 15 Evil Cult members!

Meanwhile, the Super Nut Hamster remained where it was.

Looking at the more than thirty ferocious contracted beasts in front of it, its bean-sized eyes revealed deep doubt.

Although it was an SSS-grade contracted beast, it was clearly still in its infant stage!

And in this situation, it was made to face this kind of scene.

Is this good?

On Gu Yan's side.

"Clang!"

Swords clashed!

He and three Senior Beast Masters each took several steps back.

Gu Yan's level was Senior Beast Master.

After binding the Super Nut Hamster, his power became even more refined.

This allowed him to fight one against three without being defeated!

Duanmu Mingyue and the others behind clearly saw Gu Yan, relying on a single long sword, unbelievably withstand and block the attacks of three Senior Beast Masters!

At this moment, they understood.

Gu Yan's level was not Primary Beast Master at all, nor was it the rumored appearance of being crippled by Su Wei.

His current posture.

Was the peak of the Beast Master level!

However, although Gu Yan's performance brought astonishment to everyone, the number of Evil Cult members was clearly more than three!

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

It wasn't until the sixth Senior Beast Master joined the previous five in attacking.

Gu Yan's sword techniques became completely chaotic.

As he retreated step by step, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!

He wanted to temper his sword techniques in desperation, seeking an opportunity for a Breakthrough.

It was just a pity.

Gu Yan was not the protagonist.

While constantly taking hits, all he could accumulate were injuries!

If not for the recovery effect brought by the demonic blood, Gu Yan would definitely have been forced to retreat from the battlefield due to excessive injuries!

"A kid with a bit of skill, but this is all there is!"

A voice of disdain suddenly appeared by his ear, and Gu Yan's pupils contracted sharply!

A Beast Taming Grandmaster had attacked!

"Oh no!"

The four people in the distance could see the battle situation more clearly.

A powerhouse of the Beast Taming Grandmaster level had attacked, this was going to completely end the battle!

"Gu Yan!"

Watching the Beast Taming Grandmaster wrapped in a thick trench coat condense a ball of energy in his palm, the hearts of the four people instantly surged to their peak!

"Boom!"

Finally, the energy ball containing ultimate power completely slammed into the area where Gu Yan was!

'It's over...'

Duanmu Mingyue and the others' expressions dimmed.

Even if the opponent's attack was meant to ensure the hostage wasn't killed, Gu Yan would definitely end up severely injured!

They hadn't expected Gu Yan to make such a sacrifice for them!

"Go!"

Enduring the grief, the Zhong Family Young Master shouted at the others: "Gu Yan has made such a sacrifice, we cannot let his obstruction be meaningless!"

The other three nodded, their eyes full of tears, turned their heads, and ran away from the place.

The energy shockwave in front of them heavily swept outwards.

The Beast Taming Grandmaster who released the energy ball, however, slightly furrowed his brow.

His attack just now, to everyone else, seemed to have completely hit the young man.

But in fact, he could clearly sense that the unexpected strike had missed!

Seriously sensing the situation around him.

At a certain moment, the two Beast Taming Grandmasters among the fifteen simultaneously focused their gaze towards the direction where the thick mist was!

There was a young man, leisurely strolling out from the hazy mist!

"Six thousand points, not only helps you resolve the current situation, but also gives you a chicken.

How cost-effective."

A mischievous smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, 'Gu Yan' didn't know who he was talking to.

"A bit interesting, to be able to dodge that." After seeing it was Gu Yan, a trace of interest appeared in the eyes of the two Beast Taming Grandmasters.

"A bit interesting?

It's more than just a bit interesting."

As 'Gu Yan' spoke, his gaze intertwined and clashed with the fifteen Beast Masters in front of him.

After seeing the current Gu Yan, the brows of the Evil Cult members furrowed.

For some reason, even though it was the same face, the A Man now gave them an indescribable sense of crisis!

"Watch carefully, this is what true Water Melody Severing Head is."

The long sword with many nicks appeared in his hand.

Ye Tian, who had replaced Gu Yan, walked directly towards the fifteen people.

Like a Butcher walking towards his sheep pen.
