Chapter 1452: Chapter 462: Copper Bone Corpse Demon, Heart-Stopping Pursuit and Deadly Escape, A Trial Interlude, Turbulent Clouds
It even clearly knows its strongest power and the abilities of the Yin Yang Mirror; otherwise, when following those 50 Copper Bone Corpse Demons all the way here, it should have acted halfway.
It’s precisely because it didn’t have the certainty to kill, that it painstakingly made itself appear fake, and then borrowed the hands of Fan Qinghu and his group.
From arriving at Cai Qiu until now, I’ve only revealed my true power and the existence of Shattering Divine Light in one place!
Up to this point, he hasn’t encountered a Tribulation Body Realm expert, so there’s no possibility of exposure. If all options are excluded, then only one possibility remains!
The deceitful monsters of the Blood Miasma Plain come from the same source as the Bone-Eroding Path. Ever since I stepped into the Blood Miasma Plain, I’ve been targeted.
Given this, the movements of Cai Qiu’s Hundred Thousand Army must have been under the watchful eyes of these deceitful monsters. It’s easy to conclude that once our group entered the Blood Miasma Plain, the outer army certainly had issues.
Unfortunately, Fan Qinghu and his group are now completely blinded, and they wouldn’t listen to a single word I say.
Since the army has gone awry, escaping northward will be futile, and might even continue to fall into the opponent’s trap!
Xia Hong swallowed a Holy Vein Pill for healing as he saw Fan Qinghu and others teaming up again to attack. Without any hesitation, he directly fled towards the west.
"Others, continue eradication of Corpse Demons here. Yun Sheng, Yun Wu, Yun Lan, Brother Hong, you four, follow me for the pursuit!"
Fan Qinghu naturally didn’t want him to escape so easily. Turning to see the Iron Bone Corpse Demons had almost been cleared, he ordered everyone, then called on four people to chase after Xia Hong.
The strength of Iron Bone Corpse Demons ranges only from 5 to 15 Jun; the strength of Copper Bone Corpse Demons has a broader range, the weakest being only 20 Jun, the strongest reaching Hundred Jun. Of the five left here, except for the escaping fake Hong Yu, the other four have strengths around 30 Jun each, manageable with his over 40 Xianyang-level subordinates.
However, the Copper Bone Corpse Demon impersonating Hong Yu has a strength infinitely close to Hundred Jun, posing a real threat that must be addressed so the outer region will be secure for future entries.
Fan Qinghu considered his decision well and would not hesitate for a moment. He pursued swiftly behind Xia Hong, leading Cai Yunsheng and three others, relentlessly chasing westward for several miles.
Xia Hong glanced back at the five tenacious pursuers, his expression bleak. Already injured, he faced potential death if caught.
Acknowledging this risk, he moved swiftly, ignoring dangers ahead, adjusted his direction southward slightly, and fled deeper into the Blood Miasma Plain.
"Faster, this fiend’s heading for the deep!"
Seeing Xia Hong’s movement, Fan Qinghu’s face briefly darkened. He called out to the four others and accelerated further.
.........
Just as Xia Hong suspected, in the outer area of the Blood Miasma Plain’s 21st zone, the region where the army had temporarily encamped, significant problems had already emerged.
"Roar......"
"Screech..."
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp......"
.........
Thousands of giant Cold Beasts had already surrounded the Hundred Thousand Army, their endless roars and cries echoing all around, each Cold Beast’s gaze fixed fiercely on the Golden Bone Melting Furnace, eyes brimming with bloodthirsty desire and greed.
Even if eyes were closed and one listened carefully to the roars, it’d be clear that despite the numerous Cold Beasts surrounding the camp, there are three breeds making up nearly eighty percent.
On the left wing around the camp were thousands of giant snakes of varying lengths, precisely the Blood Jade Xuan Snakes encountered by Fan Qinghu’s group in the miasma;
On the right wing were thousands of rodent Cold Beasts covered in golden hair, dragging long fleshy tails, bearing giant incisors;
Looking up, in midair above the camp, thousands of flying Cold Beasts were hovering, and their blood-colored wings stretched out wide, blocking out the sky and chilling all light. Meanwhile, a shadow was cast upon the hearts of the Hundred Thousand Army soldiers below.
"The Admiral led the team in less than ten hours ago, how could so many Blood Cold Beasts appear suddenly, not less than ten thousand, maybe seven or eight thousand, and over half are advanced Cold Beasts. What should we do, what should we do?"
"Outside the Blood Miasma, their strength is two-tenths weaker, yet even so, their weakest is over 40 Zong. Importantly, this isn’t an ordinary Beast Tide; it’s a joint action by three clans. Based on prior experiences, single clan Beast King typically counts around ten, and with this overwhelming Beast Tide, there are surely over thirty Beast King levels behind it..."
"Previously, the Golden Bone Melting Furnace never attracted Cold Beasts from the miasma. What’s happening now, why are they suddenly drawn out?"
"Admiral Fan isn’t here, with only fifty of us. Should a fight break out, a victory would mean severe losses. Admiral Nie, Zhenyuan Camp is just 10 kilometers away, shall we dispatch someone to inform the fifty thousand Town Guard to quickly assist?"
"In my opinion, extinguishing the furnace’s flames is essential. Without silver’s lure, these Cold Beasts shouldn’t be so frenzied. We have fifty thousand Silver Scale Army, if we withstand several waves, they’d surely disperse..."
......
"Shut up! Fool, extinguishing the furnace means abandoning Admiral Fan and his men! Even disregarding them, without the miasma’s suppression from the south, if it drifts our way, all of us, the Feudal Town and Hundred Thousand Army including you and I, will perish!"
