Chapter 32

In the forest sea.

Lu Li arrived beside the Crack-Pattern Tiger's hill-like body.

At this moment, it looked incomparably miserable.

The Spirit-Binding Net was refined by the Ouyang Family Ancestor and possessed a continuous tightening effect that even a Martial Spirit powerhouse couldn't resist; as the time of their escape passed, its body had been cut by countless blood marks from the net.

Dripping with blood, it was terrifying!

Lu Li ignored this, just looked at it, and said: "I have some things to ask you."

"Hmph, stupid human kid, do you think I will answer?" the Crack-Pattern Tiger said angrily.

"You will answer."

Lu Li smiled.

He extended his right index finger, and a point of golden light flickered out and sank into its body.

"Hmph!"

The Crack-Pattern Tiger snorted angrily.

Countless Source within its body rushed toward that point of golden light, wanting to drown it.

Not letting it exist in its body for even a moment!

"Human kid, you underestimate me too much; even if I am trapped, I am not someone you can manipulate at will."

"Is that so?"

Lu Li's smile remained unchanged.

Under the impact of the Crack-Pattern Tiger's entire body's Source, that point of golden light was like a stable little boat; despite the huge waves, it never capsized, and under his control, it pressed forward relentlessly, heading toward the Crack-Pattern Tiger's most fundamental place.

"How can this be?" The Crack-Pattern Tiger was shocked.

"Is it hard to understand? My control over Source Power is far above yours."

Lu Li smiled again.

Finally, that point of golden light arrived at the most fundamental place!

That was exactly where the Crack-Pattern Tiger's Origin Pill was located!

"Stop!"

The Crack-Pattern Tiger exclaimed, and then begged hurriedly: "I'll talk, I'll say everything..."

"That's good!"

Lu Li smiled and stopped the golden light, asking: "This should be the Hei Diao Wang's territory, why did you appear here?"

Fierce Beasts value territory more than humans!

This place was still within a million miles of Qian Cheng and belonged to the Hei Diao Wang's territory.

That Hei Diao Wang was different from the Angry Flame Snake King; it was a true King Fierce Beast, controlling a million miles of land, and was Qian Cheng's greatest enemy. Previously, when he was in the army, he had been fighting against the Hei Diao Wang's subordinates.

He knew very well.

The Hei Diao Wang's subordinates had no Tiger clan!

Yet, a Tiger clan army appeared here, which made him very strange.

"I, I came with the Baihu Wang's army!"

The Crack-Pattern Tiger, still shaken, answered tremblingly.

It was different from the Angry Flame Snake King!

The Angry Flame Snake King was alone, severely wounded and trapped by the six Ouyang members, and could only wait for death; but it had come with a Fierce Beast army, and although Lu Li and the others had temporarily escaped, they were not out of danger.

The Fierce Beast army that came with it could come to rescue it at any time!

It still had a chance to escape!

It didn't want to perform a Pill Explosion!

And once Lu Li broke its Origin Pill, it would truly be dead for sure!

So, it had to obey obediently.

"Baihu Wang?"

Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

The Baihu Wang was also a King Fierce Beast, and its territory was right next to the Hei Diao Wang's; however, for the past ten years, it had been at peace with humans and hadn't sent Fierce Beasts to attack Qian Cheng. Why would it suddenly appear here?

"Speak, what are you doing here?" Lu Li asked angrily.

"We were invited by the Hei Diao Wang to combine our forces and attack Qian Cheng in one fell swoop!"

"Attack Qian Cheng?"

Lu Li's expression suddenly sank: "Hasn't the Hei Diao Wang already retreated? Why did you still accept the invitation?"

"I heard the Hei Diao Wang received definite news that the human Qian Wang has recently left Qian Cheng; this is an excellent opportunity, and the Baihu Wang didn't want to miss it, so it brought us here," the Crack-Pattern Tiger replied hurriedly.

"Qian Wang left the city?"

Lu Li's eyes shot out dangerous rays of light.

Qian Wang!

Lord of Qian Cheng!

An existence like a stabilizing needle!

Even the Academy Master from the City Lord Mansion might not know his movements; how would the Hei Diao Wang know?

"You aren't lying to me, are you?"

Lu Li flicked his finger, and the golden light within the Crack-Pattern Tiger sank in another three points.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"

The Crack-Pattern Tiger begged for mercy immediately, saying hurriedly: "I'm not lying to you; not only us, but the Lingshi Wang's army has also come."

Lu Li's expression changed instantly.

Not long ago, while following the six Ouyang members to find the Red Vermilion Fruit, he had encountered a Fierce Beast army; that army was endless and countless—could it be the Lingshi Wang's army?

But the Lingshi Wang, like the Baihu Wang, hadn't fought with Qian Cheng in recent years!

He looked at the Crack-Pattern Tiger again.

Under the threat of his Diamond Finger, it wouldn't dare risk its life to lie.

Plus all the signs he had seen!

I fear everything it said was true.

Lu Li didn't dare to stay.

He withdrew the Diamond Finger and flashed toward the six Ouyang members.

Soon.

The six Ouyang members woke up from their recovery.

After hearing Lu Li's account, they all came before the Crack-Pattern Tiger, and after some coercion, the Crack-Pattern Tiger repeated what it had just said.

Only then did the six Ouyang members' expressions change drastically.

"Qian Wang has left, and three armies are joining forces to attack the city; if what it says is true, I fear Qian Cheng is in danger," Ouyang Sheng said in a deep voice.

"We cannot delay; we must hurry back."

"That's right, if Qian Cheng is breached, the billions of humans will suffer a catastrophe!"

"Yes, regardless of whether Qian Cheng has received the news, we must bring this information back as quickly as possible."

……

Outside the wilderness!

The partial technology retained by the human race was of no use at all.

To send back information, they could only rush back with all their might.

You must know they were all born in the Ouyang Family; if Qian Cheng were breached, the Ouyang Family would cease to exist—this was not something they wished to see!

Lu Li listened to their words but shook his head.

His gaze passed through the heavy forest sea and looked toward the endless, deep wilderness.

"We do need to rush back, but the most critical thing now is how to escape with our lives!"

Before his voice fell.

A heaven-shaking tremor came from the depths of the vast forest sea; smoke and dust obscured the sun, the earth shook, and countless Fierce Beasts came charging.

"What!"

"The Fierce Beast army caught up so quickly?"

"What should we do now?"

……

The Ouyang members suddenly panicked.

Ouyang Sheng looked at Lu Li and said, forcing himself to stay calm: "Brother Lu, there's no time, let's run!"

They were severely injured; the time they had just spent recovering was barely enough to allow them to fly through the air. Now, among them, only Lu Li retained combat power; to escape, they could only rely on Lu Li's strength.

"It's at least a day's journey from here to Qian Cheng; we can't escape."

Lu Li looked at him, his gaze deep as he spoke.

That was an army of Fierce Beasts chasing them; they could surround them from all sides, and at critical moments, they could mobilize even more Fierce Beasts. In this endless wilderness, for them to run around blindly and hope to leave safely was simply wishful thinking.

"Then what should we do?"

Ouyang Sheng asked hurriedly.

Lu Li looked at their anxious gazes, and his low voice came.

"I will stay behind, you guys run."
