Chapter 157: Surprises always arrive unexpectedly

And at this moment, the group of ferocious Unicorn Wolves that were having a blast suddenly felt a very ominous premonition.

The alpha wolf let out a doubtful howl, and its huge butt shrank a bit.

For some reason, they just felt a little panicked.

"Howl! Howl howl!" The Snow Tiger Beastmen's howls echoed ahead of the Unicorn Wolf pack, each one louder than the last.

The Unicorn Wolf leader was about to laugh, wondering where this jinx came from—he'd been worried he couldn't find them, but they ended up exposing themselves.

"Oh-woo!" a long howl.

"Little ones, get on me, catch a beastman and there's a big reward."

"Oh-woo!" I want the thigh, the meat is firmer.

"Howl howl!" I want the upper body, I like gnawing the neck, the paws taste good too.

The Unicorn Wolf pack got excited, each drooling as they chased after the direction the Snow Tiger Beastmen fled.

But surprises always arrive unexpectedly.

As they were howling, about to catch their dreamed-of food, a huge wave of terrifying giant apes appeared ahead.

Seeing that familiar silhouette, smelling that familiar scent, the Unicorn Wolves braked in unison.

Those whose foot brakes weren't working even used their butt brakes.

After a moment of stunned silence, they clamped their tails and howled as they ran back.

"Howl howl howl~"

"Howl woo woo~"

"Boss, run quick, a group of Obedient Apes up ahead is too terrifying!"

"Their oily green eyes scared the wolves to death!"

The alpha wolf, about to leap down from the stone platform in his coolest pose to meet his little brothers, heard the wolves' terrifying cry, shuddered instantly, and with a howl ran the opposite way.

"Howl howl!" Little ones, follow behind brother, run fast!

A dozen or so beastfolk males compared to dozens of Unicorn Wolves...

Although the Obedient Apes can't count, they still judge by size.

That group of Unicorn Wolves, when they run, goes boom boom boom—catching them would yield plenty of offspring.

They decisively gave up on the lowest-ranking beastfolk, howling excitedly as they chased the wolf pack.

With the Obedient Apes present, not just one, this forest is extremely quiet—there isn't even a male bird's call.

Yuan Lang's lips curled slightly: "Take them, hurry back to the mountain cave."

Wu Yue and the others didn't rest further; instead, they sat in the mountain cave waiting.

After a tremor, the movements in the forest suddenly vanished, leaving everyone feeling uneasy and worried.

"Howl!" The Snow Tiger Beastmen's howl sounded not far from the mountain cave; though not loud, it was enough for the cave's people to hear.

Teng Qian and the others showed a hint of joy in their brows: "Yuan Lang and them have returned."

Wu Yue also wrapped herself in animal hide, stood up, and followed the beastfolk outward.

Sure enough, approaching from afar wrapped in night were Yuan Lang and company, only they were accompanied by a dozen or so unfamiliar beastfolk.

Wu Yue knew these must be the Flying Eagle Tribe beastfolk they had mentioned before.

"Is everything alright here?" Yuan Lang walked straight up to Wu Yue and asked.

She wondered why he didn't ask Teng Qian but came to her instead.

But thinking that she had revealed her shaman identity before them, it wasn't strange.

She chuckled and nodded: "We're fine here; how come you look a bit disheveled? Are you hurt?"

The young female's voice carried a hint of concern, which made Yuan Lang's mood improve even more.

"Our people are fine; the injured are the Flying Eagle Tribe's beastfolk."

Upon hearing that, Wu Yue turned her head to look at the strange beastfolk resting in the clearing before the mountain cave.
