Although Ye Qingrou was also a Da Wu Shi First Level Martial Warrior, she had only recently broken through to the Da Wu Shi First Level. Moreover, the strength of a second-tier Ferocious Beast is higher than a Second Tier Martial Master Martial Warrior. Even if she had the ability to challenge above her level, facing the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast, she had no confidence.
The Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast let out a roar, picked up Zhang Tao's body, and turned to run.
"Save me! Save me!"
Zhang Tao's mournful screams, carried in the mouth of the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast, echoed through the forest, making one's scalp tingle. Zhang Tao was filled with extreme regret at this moment, wondering why he hadn't listened to Zhang Hao. If not for that, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Chase!"
Although Ye Qingrou knew how brutal and terrifying the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast was, as the Captain of this team, she naturally couldn't abandon her teammates to die.
Dozens of people from the Zhang Family Team, led by Ye Qingrou, chased behind the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast. But from its name, it was clear that the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast was extremely fast. It was simply not comparable to the people of the Zhang Family Team. After chasing for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Zhang Family Team lost track of the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast.
"Strange, why haven't we seen the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast? Did it run away?" a member of the Zhang Family Team said.
"Ah, look!" a member of the Zhang Family Team pointed under a large tree.
They saw a pile of skeletons. Judging by their appearance, they must have been recently discarded.
The members of the Zhang Family Team, including Ye Qingrou, felt their hair stand on end. A person who had just been alive and well had now become a pile of dry bones.
"Captain, let's go. That Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast should be nearby, and we are no match for it," Deputy Captain Zhang Haicheng said with a solemn expression.
Ye Qingrou nodded and said, "We'll retreat immediately."
Since Zhang Tao was already dead, there was naturally no need to waste effort trying to save him. The group began to speed towards the outside of the Devil's Forest. However, they hadn't expected that the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast would not let them leave so easily.
"Roar!" A terrifying Ferocious Beast's roar echoed.
"It's the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast! Everyone be careful," Ye Qingrou immediately warned.
The people of the Zhang Family Team stopped running and stood back-to-back, relying on each other.
In an instant, a bloody beast shadow swept over from a distance, moving as fast as lightning, arriving before the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Get lost!"
The members of the Zhang Family Team attacked with their weapons, slashing down at the bloody beast shadow.
However, the attacks from the Zhang Family Team members had little effect on the beast shadow. Instead, the Zhang Family Team members were injured and fell to the ground one by one.
"Profound Light Sword!"
A sharp sword beam shot down from the void, fiercely piercing the beast shadow's body.
A 'boom!' explosion sounded.
The beast shadow roared and fell, but Ye Qingrou was shaken back seven or eight steps.
The Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast roared, seemingly enraged. It turned into a bloody shadow and pounced towards Ye Qingrou. A long bloody shadow streaked across the void.
"Profound Light Shadow Breaking Sword!"
Ye Qingrou's delicate body turned into streaks of white shadows, fighting the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast. But the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast's speed was faster than Ye Qingrou's. Ye Qingrou gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast locked onto Ye Qingrou's figure. A bloody light shadow covered down, pouncing towards Ye Qingrou.
"Profound Light Seven Swords!"
Ye Qingrou instantly thrust out seven sword shadows. The seven sword shadows, carrying terrifying sword beams, covered down towards the Wind Shadow Beast.
A 'boom!' explosion sounded.
The Wind Shadow Beast instantly tore Ye Qingrou's seven sword beams to shreds with its beast claws. The powerful force sent Ye Qingrou staggering back.
"Roar!"
The Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast swept towards Ye Qingrou. A bloody claw shadow grabbed down at her.
"Get lost!"
Ye Qingrou swung her sword, thrusting out streaks of sword shadows. Extremely sharp sword beams pierced towards the Wind Shadow Beast.
The Wind Shadow Beast let out a disdainful cry and slapped down again.
"Clang!"
Ye Qingrou let out a muffled groan. She felt the long sword in her hand being knocked away, and the Wind Shadow Beast continued to grab towards Ye Qingrou.
Ye Qingrou used her movement technique to retreat rapidly. But while her speed was fast, the Wind Shadow Beast's speed was even faster. Although Ye Qingrou knew the Wind Shadow Beast was powerful, she thought she could at least contend with it using her cultivation. However, only after truly fighting did she realize how overwhelmingly powerful the Wind Shadow Beast was. She was no match for it at all, completely unable to resist. Moreover, the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast's defense was too strong. Ordinary attacks couldn't even break through its defense.
When the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast's claw grabbed, she couldn't dodge at all.
"My life is over!"
Ye Qingrou felt somewhat desperate. She hadn't expected to perish here just after entering the Secret Realm. At this moment, she suddenly thought of Zhang Hao. She mused: So the truly foolish one was myself! Good advice is unpleasant to the ear. If I had accepted his words back then, I probably wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
The other members of the Zhang Family Team also felt a bit desperate. Seeing their strongest Captain about to perish, they were powerless.
Ye Qingrou even closed her eyes in despair.
Suddenly. Ye Qingrou felt her body lighten, as if someone had wrapped an arm around her slender waist. She opened her eyes in surprise and found a familiar figure appearing beside her.
"Get lost!"
Zhang Hao punched towards the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast.
"Boom!"
"Ding dong, congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for using Luo Han Fist and triggering a critical hit!"
The Wind Shadow Beast was instantly shaken back. It landed on the ground, its eyes fiercely staring at Zhang Hao.
"Zhang Hao!"
Ye Qingrou hadn't expected that at the critical moment, the one who saved her was Zhang Hao, whom she had driven away.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Hao, Ye Qingrou looked incredibly guilty. She stammered, "Zhang Hao, I drove you away, yet you..."
Zhang Hao shook his head and said lightly, "Now is not the time to talk about this."
Ye Qingrou nodded, holding her sword and standing beside Zhang Hao. Originally, she thought Zhang Hao's cultivation was very weak. But seeing that he was able to repel the Wind Shadow Beast just now, his cultivation must not be much weaker than hers, even if not as strong. He must have cultivated a technique that can conceal his aura.
Zhang Hao and the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast moved.
The Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast relied on its movement technique to dodge Zhang Hao's attacks. The bloody shadow darted through the forest, making Zhang Hao feel quite tricky to deal with. Moreover, his fist attacks on its body could only send the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast flying, but couldn't harm it at all.
"Boom!"
Zhang Hao's punch missed again, which annoyed him. He cursed, "Damn it, you think only you are fast?"
"Swallow Shadow Drift!"
Zhang Hao executed Swallow Shadow Drift to its limit, turning into nine light shadows and pouncing towards the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast.
"Luo Han Fist!"
Zhang Hao suddenly using such a powerful movement technique indeed caught the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast off guard.
"Boom!" Zhang Hao punched the Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast's body, sending it flying.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for using Luo Han Fist and triggering a critical hit!"
The Wind Shadow Bloodthirsty Beast was sent flying, rolled on the ground, and stood up again. It seemed unharmed, only staring at him with fierce and angry eyes.
"Damn, it's so tough. What's the point of this Young Master playing?" Zhang Hao said somewhat dejectedly.
