111: A million-level beast tide

Rumble—

The deafening roars of beasts approached, and the earth beneath their feet trembled more and more violently.

The group leaped to the top of the tree canopy, their gazes sweeping toward the depths of the forest sea, their pupils shrinking abruptly.

Amidst the vast forest sea, a dense mass of Yao Beasts was charging madly toward them.

Wherever they passed, giant trees reaching heights of hundreds or even thousands of meters were pushed over directly.

The group felt their scalps tingle; those tens of thousands of Yao Beasts blotted out the sky, rapidly approaching like a dark cloud.

"It's a million-strong beast tide, and there are dozens of Realm King-level Beast Kings hidden inside!"

Yun Shang's face turned pale, her voice carrying an undisguised panic.

No matter how strong a person's combat power was, there would always be a time when they would run out of strength.

To face such a beast tide head-on, one would need to be at least a Realm Sovereign.

Gu Feng added, "More than that, there is also a Beast Emperor following behind the beast tide."

After saying that, he reached out, wanting to pull Yun Shang away.

But Yun Shang had already fled in one direction ahead of him, leaving only her voice behind: "Find a place to hide. A beast tide like this usually has a target and won't make things difficult for passing creatures."

Gu Feng looked at her resolute back and sighed helplessly, able only to follow quickly.

Cao Bu took all of this in.

A surge of pleasure welled up in his heart.

Before long, your woman will be mine, Current Identity's.

When that time comes, I, Meng Xian, will let her know what a real man is.

Cao Bu exchanged a look with Gu Chuyan, and they both looked at Yan Ruyu beside them.

Yan Ruyu immediately understood their meaning. She stepped forward and grabbed their arms, her spiritual power surging beneath her feet as her figure quickly chased after Gu Feng and Yun Shang.

Several figures shuttled rapidly through the dense forest, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

"Xiao Yu, hand Chuyan over to me." Seeing Yan Ruyu struggling to carry two people alone, Gu Yin quickly called out.

After spending these days together, the group had become very familiar with each other.

Gu Yin didn't put on the airs of a Young Miss and got along well with Yan Ruyu.

Hearing the voice, Yan Ruyu immediately sent Cao Bu toward Gu Yin.

"Young Miss Gu Yin, my cultivation is not as high as yours. Chuyan's body is light, so it's more convenient for me to take her. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Master!"

Gu Yin didn't have time to think much and reached out to catch Cao Bu steadily.

Cao Bu cast an appreciative glance toward Yan Ruyu.

This girl was understanding his thoughts more and more.

Several figures sped through the dense forest, the roars of the beasts behind them getting closer and closer.

Gu Feng looked back and saw that Cao Bu and the others were about to be caught by the beast tide, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.

Although this beast tide was terrifying, it posed no threat to him.

Right now was a good opportunity to use the beast tide to eliminate Cao Bu.

Just at this moment.

The Yun Shang beside him suddenly slowed down, turning back to return to Cao Bu's side.

"Your speed is too slow. If this continues, you'll be caught by the beast tide sooner or later."

As her voice fell, she raised her hand and struck out a gentle spiritual power, enveloping several people within it and sweeping forward with them.

But with the added weight of several people, Yun Shang's speed noticeably slowed down.

Gu Feng stayed by Yun Shang's side, his face so gloomy it seemed it could drip water. He could only temporarily suppress the killing intent in his heart, not daring to act rashly.

Little did he know, Yun Shang and Gu Yin were already utterly disappointed in him.

If he had helped, the group would have escaped from here long ago.

Now, they didn't know what he was plotting.

After escaping for over a hundred miles, Yun Shang's speed suddenly slowed down.

The group looked over and discovered that her face had turned black, her brows were tightly knit, and her figure was swaying, clearly unable to hold on.

"Sister-in-Law, what's wrong?" Gu Yin stepped forward to support her, but as soon as she reached out, she found herself feeling a wave of weakness.

"Yun Shang, how are you?" Gu Feng also noticed something was wrong and quickly approached.

Right then, Yan Ruyu and Gu Chuyan also began to show the same symptoms one after another.

Their faces turned black, their bodies went soft, and they could barely even stand steadily.

Just as Gu Feng approached Yun Shang's side, an indescribable sense of weakness swept over him. The originally abundant power in his body began to dissipate uncontrollably, like a deflated balloon.

Cao Bu's brow furrowed; he had also developed the same symptoms.

Yun Shang hurriedly led several people to land on a huge rock not far away.

"Something's wrong. I feel the Law and spiritual power in my body dissipating, and..." Yun Shang's fists were tightly clenched, her breathing rapid, and an abnormal flush appeared on her face.

Recalling their previous encounter, Cao Bu said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that while teleporting, we accidentally got tainted by the Desire Emperor's poison."

"Big brother, what do we do now?" Yun Shang looked up at Cao Bu, her eyes full of anxiety. "I tried just now; the more I use spiritual power to suppress it, the faster the poison acts!"

Seeing everyone look at Cao Bu, Gu Feng's heart was instantly filled with rage.

Clearly, his cultivation was the strongest among them, yet these people didn't come to him first to find a solution, but instead relied on Cao Bu, a guy who was only in the Heavenly Bridge Realm.

A surge of unwillingness and resentment churned in his chest, making his face turn even gloomier.

Rumble—

A dull, massive sound came, and the earth suddenly shook violently.

The group looked over, their pupils shrinking abruptly.

They saw several Beast Kings leading the way, approaching in the blink of an eye, less than a hundred meters away.

Almost in the next instant—

With a "bang," the giant rock instantly shattered into countless pieces, flying in all directions.

Beneath them were the flashing figures of Yao Beasts.

In the chaos, the group no longer knew where they were.

"Master!"

"Cao Bu!"

"Chuyan!"

"Yun Shang!"

The anxious shouts had just left their mouths when they were swallowed by the deafening sound of beast hooves.

Cao Bu only felt a beastly shadow charging from the side. At the critical moment, he activated an eighth-grade defensive Talisman.

Now was not the time to reveal his cultivation. To be safe, this step was unavoidable.

The moment a layer of defensive light enveloped him, his body was swept forward by the stampeding beast tide.

In the chaos, he didn't even have time to see who was beside him before disappearing into the sky-filling dust.

On the other side.

The moment the giant rock crumbled, Yan Ruyu and Gu Chuyan both reached for Cao Bu at the same time, but they missed.

In their desperation, the two grabbed each other's wrists and vanished in an instant.

Gu Feng had originally reached out, wanting to pull Yun Shang to his side.

But thinking that this was a good time to eliminate Cao Bu, he withdrew his hand.

In just a few breaths, the six people who were originally together were completely scattered by this million-strong beast tide.

Rumble—

The earth continued to tremble, and the massive sound of ten thousand beasts stampeding filled every inch of space.

Cao Bu stumbled along with the flow of the beast herd for a while, enduring the weakness and heat brought by the poison in his body, his eyes sharply scanning the surroundings.

He saw Gu Yin and Yun Shang not far from him.

The aura of the two was becoming increasingly low, and their blackened faces took on a seductive expression.

As for the others, there was no sign of them.

"There's a pit over there!"

With a few leaps, Cao Bu appeared beside the two.

He grabbed them and kicked hard against the ground, moving against the direction of the beast flow.

The three of them narrowly escaped the main body of the beast tide, tumbling into a narrow pit.

The next second.

The iron hooves of countless Yao Beasts swept past the edge of the pit, the dust and bloody wind they kicked up almost burying the three of them.

The three pressed themselves tightly against the bottom of the pit, listening to the deafening sound of hooves overhead, gaining a temporary moment to breathe.

Inside the pit, the atmosphere became increasingly strange.

The black Qi on Yun Shang's and Gu Yin's faces deepened slightly because they had just forced their spiritual power to circulate.

Their breathing became more rapid, their eyes grew hazy, and their bodies unconsciously moved closer to Cao Bu.

Cao Bu looked at their state and felt his own intensifying abnormality, his brow furrowed.

The three drunken deep slumber brew should be able to neutralize the poison, but now was not the time to give it to them.

He swept his gaze over their beautiful curves, a plan forming in his mind.

He had to make good use of this opportunity to completely win them over.
