Chapter 1169: Ferocious Beast Riot

Not bad! The Crown Prince won't wait for the Seventh Prince to arrive before launching an attack!

Zhuge Feiyu also agreed with Ye Liuyun's viewpoint.

The Crown Prince never regarded the Seventh Prince as an opponent, so he never imagined that the Seventh Prince had three hundred Di Zun First Rank stone puppets.

Upon hearing that, the Fourth Prince took Black Phoenix and Zhuge Feiyu and began training.

Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to observe the approaching Crown Prince and his party from afar, checking the number of ferocious beasts.

The Crown Prince and his group dared not approach, fearing a Black Tortoise attack; they stopped far away, set up a Defense Array, and then felt safe commanding the ferocious beasts.

But before they could launch an attack, they heard horn blasts echoing from within Stone City.

"What is this? Could there be an army inside, about to go to war? Or can Ye Liuyun's ferocious beasts understand that this horn means attack?" a Martial Cultivator mocked.

Everyone was also amused by him.

Only the Crown Prince frowned, his expression solemn.

Although he didn't know what Ye Liuyun intended to do, he knew Ye Liuyun would surely not do something useless.

"Prepare for defense!" the Crown Prince shouted, cutting off everyone's laughter, having the whip-wielding Martial Cultivator control the ferocious beasts and encircle their Formation.

However, the ferocious beast herd fell into chaos.

Some ferocious beasts actually began biting each other.

"Huh?" the whip-wielding Martial Cultivator wondered why his whip wasn't working!

He also didn't dare step out of the Formation to whip the ferocious beasts, fearing a Black Tortoise assassination; he could only wave the whip from afar to scatter the biting beasts.

But the chaos grew larger; more and more ferocious beasts began biting each other.

This time, even as he kept waving and whipping, the ferocious beasts ignored him; they even bared their teeth and growled at him.

"The ferocious beasts have rioted! What's going on? Why did the whip suddenly fail?"

That Martial Cultivator repeatedly inspected the whip with Divine Sense but found nothing abnormal.

"Whoo, whoo..."

Inside Stone City, Ye Liuyun had Wu Qingcheng blow the horn again; this time the sound was longer, the "whoo-whoo" resembling a wolf's howl.

Under the stimulation of the war horn, those ferocious beasts' eyes turned red, they gradually lost reason, and tangled with nearby ferocious beasts.

The more that Martial Cultivator whipped the ferocious beasts with his whip, the more the beasts' resistance consciousness was aroused.

Some ferocious beasts even lunged at him, beginning to attack the Formation.

"Stop quickly!"

The Crown Prince snatched the whip away and threw it aside.

"Don't you see that the ferocious beasts' eyes are red, already going mad?"

The Crown Prince explained to the bewildered crowd: "If you keep hitting them, it will only provoke their anger, making them attack this Formation!"

The crowd stared and then noticed that each ferocious beast indeed had scarlet eyes, in a frenzied state.

Moreover, they indiscriminately tore into each other regardless of species or cultivation level, slaughtering whatever they could reach.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince noticed early; only a few ferocious beasts attacked the Formation, otherwise if they all assaulted it together, their Formation couldn't withstand it.

"Could they... have been poisoned?" the whip-wielding Martial Cultivator asked, puzzled.

"It must be related to that horn sound!"

After saying that, the Crown Prince looked toward Ye Liuyun on the distant city wall and felt: "This guy really has too many tricks!"

Watching the ferocious beasts outside the Formation slaughter each other, their numbers plummeting, the Crown Prince and his group lost all hope.

"Our painstakingly captured ferocious beast army, just ruined by Ye Liuyun like this?" a Martial Cultivator still felt unwilling.

"Otherwise? Or do you have any way to turn the tide?" the Crown Prince wearily asked the Martial Cultivator.

That Martial Cultivator opened his mouth but said nothing.

They should now be grateful that Ye Liuyun didn't let those ferocious beasts attack them.

Otherwise, so many ferocious beasts could have shattered the Formation, and they would have been destined to become the beasts' food.

The Crown Prince and his companions silently waited in the Formation; the ferocious beasts outside had exhausted their True Essence, now tearing at each other purely by physical instinct.

Each ferocious beast was covered in wounds, yet still fought desperately.

Some ferocious beasts, even with only a last breath left, still lunged at their opponents.

Some ferocious beasts even perished together with their opponents—while having their necks bitten, they also gouged out the opponent's intestines with their claws.

Thus, the Crown Prince and his group remained in the Formation, watching until the last ferocious beast collapsed from exhaustion.

At that moment, the gate of Stone City opened, and a thousand Metal Puppets charged toward them.

"Retreat quickly!"

The Crown Prince exclaimed, leading everyone to flee, even forgetting to retract the Formation.

Seeing the neat ranks of Metal Puppet armies, everyone also dared not linger, frightened, and followed the Crown Prince in fleeing. m.

However, after the Metal Puppet soldiers arrived, they did not pursue them but instead directly packed the ferocious beasts' corpses on the ground into Storage Rings, then returned to the city and closed the gate.

After the Crown Prince and his group had run a distance, they discovered there was no movement behind them.

When the Metal Puppet troops came running in formation, the ground would tremble with a "boom-boom" vibration.

When they probed with Divine Sense, they all ended up laughing and crying, shaking their heads.

It turned out Ye Liuyun never intended to kill them; he had the Skeleton Puppets clean the battlefield, collecting the ferocious beasts' corpses for food.

"Let's go! He doesn't kill us, but we also need to be conscientious! Make the most of the remaining time to find more treasures!"

The Crown Prince sighed, then directly led everyone away from here.

They no longer had the strength to assault the city; just that invisible ferocious beast beside Ye Liuyun could wipe them all out.

So staying longer would just waste time; better to go look for more treasures.

He also didn't expect the Seventh Prince to produce any miracle, and besides, he had no further connection with him.

Ye Liuyun gave all the ferocious beast corpses he had collected to Zhu Youfu.

"These will be the raw materials for your first batch of jerky!"

"Haha, sure thing! Leave it to me, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

Zhu Youfu happily took the Storage Ring and burst out laughing.

"The Crown Prince is really kind, basically coming here to deliver supplies to us!"

The Fourth Prince, Zhuge Feiyu, and Hei Feng, who had just recovered their True Essence not long ago, also saw the end of the battle.

Who would have thought Ye Liuyun finished the battle without losing a single soldier, and even won a great victory!

"If I had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have bothered to make all those preparations!" Hei Feng said, rolling their eyes.

Ye Liuyun chuckled: "Just in case! Who knows if they have any other methods, it's better to be careful!"

Zhuge Feiyu also smiled and nodded, indicating agreement.
