Chapter 1406: The Ones That Slipped Through the Net!

The Silver-grade Hell Blood Vine Flower offshoot writhed wildly in the Platinum-grade Beast Tamer's hands, even shooting out sharp thorns, yet none of these attacks could breach the Platinum-grade Beast Tamer's defense.

Just as everyone wanted to study this unknown plant-type fierce beast, a Beast Tamer whispered:

"Do you hear something?"

"What sound?"

The Beast Tamer who had detected the movement pressed himself to the ground, his ear flat against the earth:

"The ground is shaking, it looks like something big is coming!

At that moment, the Beast Tamer in charge of scouting shouted from the air: "Everyone get up here now, we seem to be in big trouble!"

The Beast Tamers on the ground hurriedly took the two little captives with them and leapt onto their flying-type pets.

They had just leapt onto their flying-type pets and hadn't yet managed to escape when a massive blood-red vine burst from the earth.

One sweeping lash sent four flying-type pets, along with four Beast Tamers, almost all sent flying.

Of the four flying-type pets, some were pierced by thorns, others had their bones broken, and almost all Suffered heavy injuries.

Among them, one Beast Tamer was pierced straight through the heart and died on the spot.

They had just hit the ground and hadn't had time to react when the earth was torn open again, and more than ten blood-red vines bristling with sharp thorns lashed viciously at their bodies.

One Beast Tamer, whose pet was not a defensive type, was slammed into the earth in a single strike, his body pierced through by a long thorn and crushed flat.

The remaining two Beast Tamers, though slammed into the ground, were not yet at death's door.

At the critical moment, they quickly summoned their pets and called for help from the Beast Tamers in the air.

"Save us!"

"Old Zhang, help!"

"This is a King-grade fierce beast!"

"……"

In midair, the three Beast Tamers on watch duty heard the cries for help and, without the slightest hesitation, mounted their flying-type pets and fled toward Xiong Cheng.

"Damn it!"

"Those bastards, it's just one King-grade fierce beast!"

On the ground, the two heavily wounded Beast Tamers cursed furiously.

They couldn't understand why a single King-grade plant-type fierce beast could scare their companions away!

In midair, the three Beast Tamers rode their flying-type pets.

A slightly younger Beast Tamer shouted: "We shouldn't have run!"

"If you want to save them, then go save them!"

"Yeah, we're not stopping you!"

"……"

That slightly younger Beast Tamer glanced at the surging earth like an ocean around him, at the trees and boulders hurled into the air, and immediately shut his mouth.

Clearly, beneath the ground, countless terrifying things were rushing over.

The only calm direction was toward Yuncheng.

But the path toward Yuncheng was gradually being closed off.

The Beast Tamer leading the pack shouted: "Pull up, break through!"

The three flying-type pets rapidly climbed, pushing their speed to the limit, striving to break out before the earth-waves closed in.

Knowing they were in danger, the flying-type pets fought with everything they had.

Gradually, the three Beast Tamers eased their hearts a little.

Though the surging earth-waves were fast, they absolutely couldn't surround them.

They could break through completely!

The Beast Tamer at the front said optimistically: "Good thing is, looks like we can break through!"

"Yeah!"

"Too bad about those guys!"

"They just had bad luck!"

"……"

But just then, from the calm ground, countless dense black dots suddenly shot into the air.

Those densely packed black dots spread like a giant net, covering an area of several kilometers.

Those black points tore through the air like giant crossbow bolts, piercing all three flying-type pets.

Among the three Beast Tamers, one was pierced through on the spot by a giant thorn over ten meters long, not even leaving an intact corpse behind.

The two Beast Tamers who had lost their flying-type pets fell through the air, both looking down at the earth.

They discovered that on the ground there was actually a giant blood-red plant-type fierce beast covering an area of five kilometers.

They had only one thought — damn, that's sinister!

There were no earth-waves surging in this direction, so they had subconsciously assumed there was no danger beneath the ground……

At the critical moment of life and death, the two Beast Tamers summoned two more flying-type pets, but by then, another wave of giant thorn rain had arrived.

Accompanying the giant thorn rain were constantly spinning blood-red leaves.

Each of those leaves was large enough to cover an entire block — terrifyingly huge……

None of the seven Beast Tamers escaped the encirclement and annihilation of these blood-red plant-type fierce beasts, even though they were in the air!

Their bodies, and the corpses of their pets, fell to the ground, and soon gave birth to Platinum-grade and Star Glory-grade Hell Blood Vine Flower saplings.

Almost at the same time, one Beast Tamer fled into Xiong Cheng.

This Beast Tamer was drenched in fresh blood, his face covered in gore, and the pet beneath him had also Suffered heavy injuries, bleeding all the way as it flew.

The moment they entered Xiong Cheng, the beast tamer blocked the way holding a piece of bright fiery-red armor, charging straight toward the Chengzhufu Sect.

"A beast tamer has invaded Xiong Cheng—report to the commander quickly!"

"Wait, that looks like armor from the Fire Phoenix Legion!"

"Hold off the attack for now, report first!"

"…"

A minute later, the City Lord of Xiong Cheng stood at the gate of the Chengzhufu Sect, seeing the beast tamer who had Suffered heavy injuries.

"You must be City Lord Li of Xiong Cheng?"

"That's right, I'm the City Lord!" Li Kui said, puzzled. "Are you from the Fire Phoenix Legion?"

No wonder Li Kui was confused.

It wouldn't be strange for the Fire Phoenix Legion to send someone to see him.
