"Hey, you up ahead, wait for me!"
An anxious voice came from behind the group.
"Holy crap, it can talk! This wild horse has become a spirit!" Ye Wuyai cried out.
"Roar!"
In the secret forest, roars of beasts came from all directions.
Under the towering ancient trees, huge branches crisscrossed, vines hung down, and the air was filled with a dampness.
Around them was the deep secret forest, and at this moment, unknown things were lurking inside, following the group as they ran.
Whoosh, whoosh—
More than a dozen people quickly jumped onto the tree trunks, running swiftly along them.
The thin unicorn behind them followed closely, only about ten meters away from the group.
"Damn it, what the hell are you?!" Qin Zhenhua roared angrily at the figure behind him.
"I'm a human, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Su Che!"
As soon as the thin unicorn finished speaking, its form rapidly changed, transforming into a young man in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh—
The man's speed suddenly increased, lightly tapping a few times in the air, and then he suddenly shot to the front of the group.
"Everyone, I'll go ahead. Hope to see you again someday."
He turned his head and waved at the group, a mischievous smile on his face.
However, before he could be happy for even two seconds, a sound of rushing air suddenly came from the deep secret forest on both sides.
The next moment, two beast shadows flashed past, their speed so fast that they were imperceptible to the naked eye.
The man's expression changed, and he abruptly stopped himself in mid-air, narrowly dodging the attacks of the two beast shadows.
"Dark-Patterned Shadow Fiend Tigers!" The man exclaimed, and decisively retreated to the side of the group.
Having failed in their attack, the two beast shadows once again vanished into the darkness, continuing to follow the group as they ran.
"Hey, how did you manage to transform into a demonic beast?" Zhao Shijie asked curiously, looking at the man as he ran.
"Illusion Beast Pill."
The man uttered three words, his eyes darting left and right, carefully observing the beast shadows in the dark.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The two figures attacked again, this time targeting Liu Yifei and Zhi Hui, the two girls at the back.
"Be careful!"
The man exclaimed, about to intervene, but someone was faster than him.
Zhao Shijie and Lin Ye suddenly appeared beside the two girls, their hands forming a barrier that blocked the beast shadows' attacks.
This time, everyone finally saw the beast shadows' true forms.
Their bodies were similar to those of adult tigers, with black fur covered in gray patterns, and two sharp fangs exposed, extending all the way down to their lower jaws.
The two Dark-Patterned Shadow Fiend Tigers once again disappeared into the shadows.
"Does anyone want these two demonic beasts?" Zhao Shijie shouted loudly to the group.
"Not majestic enough." Chen Shaocong shook his head slightly.
"Big-Breasted Woman, do you want them?" Lin Ye looked at Zhi Hui beside him.
"You're the Big-Breasted Woman, your whole family are Big-Breasted Women!" Zhi Hui glared fiercely at Lin Ye.
She still remembered when she first entered the game, due to Zhi Hui looking for a CP and reporting her 36D bust size, from then on, she happily acquired this nickname.
However, her bust size was indeed magnificent, especially now that she was wearing a tight combat suit, the curves outlined were simply a visual impact.
"Don't look!" Huo Sichun pulled Zhao Shijie's clothes and turned his head towards her.
"It's fine if I don't call you Big-Breasted Woman, then I'll call you Trembling Sister." Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, grinning.
"What the hell is Trembling Sister, that's hilarious!" Ye Wuyai burst into laughter.
"Names can be wrong, but nicknames are absolutely right." Qin Zhenhua added.
"A bunch of dog men!" Zhi Hui glared fiercely at a few of them.
While everyone was joking, the man in front had already pulled a good distance away from the group.
Rumble, rumble—
Suddenly, the ground in front shook violently, the earth trembling intensely, and trees were uprooted.
The black flood dragon behind them stopped, turning around and fleeing without hesitation.
All kinds of demonic beasts in the secret forest retreated, quickly fleeing in all directions.
Everyone stopped, their eyes fixed on the front without blinking.
They saw six gigantic humanoid creatures made of rocks, earth, and trees rising from the ground, their bodies towering into the clouds, and their black pupils like dark caves, looking towards the group.
"Mountain Ridge Giants, guardians of the Barren State border."
The man in front murmured softly, secretly glancing at the group behind him, then hid in a concealed spot.
"My goodness, if we could capture these and bring them back to serve as gate guardians for our Hua Xia Sect, wouldn't the other sects be green with envy!"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he grasped the sword hilt behind him, subtly showing signs of wanting to act.
All the other male players showed signs of being moved, while only the female players looked disgusted.
"Majestic enough, it's them!" Zhao Shijie took out his silver spear, unleashed surging spiritual power, and slowly ascended into the air.
"Pull aggro, pull aggro, let's capture them to serve as our sect's facade!"
Everyone cheered, taking out various weapons and following behind Zhao Shijie.
"Leader, aggro's pulled!" Lin Ye shouted loudly.
Whoosh—
Zhao Shijie took the lead, gripping his silver spear in a backhand grip and charging forward.
Rumble—
The six Mountain Ridge Giants raised their arms and smashed them down fiercely.
Zhao Shijie continuously dodged in mid-air, running swiftly along the giants' arms, then gripping his silver spear with both hands and thrusting it towards a giant's head.
Clang—
A crisp sound rang out, the giant remained unmoving, and the silver spear couldn't break through its defense at all.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Lin Ye formed a sword with his fingers, and spiritual swords flew out from behind him, transforming into forty-nine flying swords in mid-air, enveloping the giant's head.
"Fall!"
All the flying swords descended simultaneously, all striking the giant's body.
At the same time, more than a dozen players moved around the six giants, throwing talismans everywhere onto the giants' bodies.
Blade energy and sword intent crisscrossed in the heavens and earth, cutting down fiercely.
Bang, bang—
For a moment, explosions were incessant, and smoke filled the air.
Before everyone could see the situation inside, they saw giant hands reaching out from the smoke, smashing down towards them.
"Scatter!"
Zhao Shijie roared, dragging the Innate Bagua Diagram and ascending against the heavens.
As soon as the two touched, Zhao Shijie's body, like a meteor, was directly smashed into the ground.
Thud—
The ground exploded, cracks rapidly spread in all directions, and the nearby secret forest was destroyed by the aftermath, leaving a barren expanse.
"Damn it, the leader's dead!" Someone cried out.
More than a dozen people simultaneously retreated, continuously dodging the giants' attacks in the air.
"How dare you hit my boyfriend, die for this, old hag!"
Huo Sichun's figure flashed, vanishing into the void, and streaks of sword light instantly wove into a large net, enveloping one of the giants.
However, the giants' defense was too strong; the sword energy simply couldn't break through their defense, only leaving shallow marks on them.
A strong gust of wind suddenly rose, and two giants simultaneously raised their fists and smashed towards Huo Sichun.
Huo Sichun swiftly dodged to the side, and just as she was about to go around behind the giant, huge rocks blocked all space.
Bang—
Huo Sichun failed to dodge in time, and her entire body was smashed into the ground.
"Great, the leader's wife is also dead!"
More than a dozen players, while dodging the giants' attacks, didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Zhao Shijie and Huo Sichun rushed out of the deep pit, blood spilling from their mouths, grimacing as they rubbed their chests.
The two exchanged glances in the air.
Huo Sichun pointed at her chest, pitifully saying, "It got flattened."
Zhao Shijie's mouth twitched, and he quickly flew over to support her, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll help you rub it."
"Go away!" Huo Sichun slapped his hand away, then put on a pitiful expression again, "It really seems to have gotten smaller..."
"It's okay, it's okay, we have no more room to go down..."
"Zhao Shijie, are you trying to die?! Are you saying you dislike me for being small?! Then go find someone with big breasts!"
Hearing this, Zhi Hui, who was slacking off, suddenly turned her head and shouted towards the two, "Are you calling me?"
Now it was Huo Sichun's turn to be speechless. She directly sat down on the ground, secretly vowing not to speak to Zhao Shijie for an hour!
