Chapter 74: Single‑Horned Iron Rhino

"It's the Death Storm, run quickly!" Lei Shen shouted.

Xiao Yu directly grabbed Hong and Lei Shen, fleeing at full speed, while Xiao Yi also seized Luo Feng in one hand; this way, the six people's speed finally exceeded that of the Death Storm, leaving it behind.

The few young men and women behind them, the weaker ones perished in the storm, leaving only two Stellar-level Ninth Tier.

The six flew for a little over an hour and arrived at a lake inside the Longsuo Mountains.

"We've reached Demon Moon Lake," Xiao Yu said. "A herd of single‑horned iron rhinos surrounds the lake."

The entire Demon Moon Lake spans several hundred kilometers in length and width; because of its abundant water, several packs of ferocious beasts have gathered around it.

Ferocious beasts are called so because of their low intelligence. In the universe, monsters are mainly divided into demon beasts and ferocious beasts.

Demon‑beast groups refer to those that possess relatively high intelligence already at a level comparable to a human apprentice; because they have intelligence, demon‑beast groups are also among the powerful races in the universe.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, we need to be even more careful here; in the Death Desert, danger comes only from heaven and earth, but here danger comes more from other humans," Luo Feng warned.

Xiao Yu and the other five searched cautiously, while Luo Feng continuously reported ferocious beasts within twenty thousand meters around.

"Ferocious beasts 16 km to the left."

"Ferocious beasts 18 km ahead at five o'clock direction."

Thanks to the warning detector that Baba Ta removed from the Fallen Ink Star before departure.

……

Traveling within the Longsuo Mountains, flying is prohibited; the mountains are teeming with ferocious beasts, and if one flies, they are easily spotted by the surrounding beasts, which can also fly. Being surrounded by countless ferocious beasts would even give Xiao Yu a headache.

Three hours later, Xiao Yu and the six of them approached a spot where a herd of single‑horned iron rhinos might appear.

"Ahead are 26 single‑horned iron rhinos heading toward Demon Moon Lake," Luo Feng said.

One by one, truck‑sized creatures appeared in the sight of Xiao Yu and the six; their rock‑like skin left no doubt about their toughness, and the single horn, resembling a sharp curved blade, reflected a cold glint under nine glowing spheres in the sky, while their eyes were gentle.

"Let's go, we'll climb up," Xiao Yu said. "They're only 26 ferocious beasts; the six of us can handle them."

The six turned into six black shadows, suddenly surging to top speed, producing a thunderous blast, and rushed straight at the herd of single‑horned iron rhinos. All 26 rhinos lifted their heads abruptly, and the leading rhino immediately let out a mighty, angry roar: "Hoo!"

Among the six, the figure emitting purple lightning was the fastest, slashing a single‑horned iron rhino almost the instant of contact.

Hong and Lei Shen each opened a Domain, coordinating with Luo Feng and the other three, instantly killing three single‑horned iron rhinos.

A few breaths later, only the corpses of 26 single‑horned iron rhinos remained on the ground.

"Take the horns and let's leave quickly; a squad is approaching from 19 kilometers away," Luo Feng warned.

"Alright." Xiao Yu finished collecting the horns, and even the corpses were pulled into the Space Ring.

"The system absorbs the bodies of 26 single‑horned iron rhinos; the horns must be retained."

【Absorbed the bodies of 26 single‑horned iron rhinos, obtained 5200 Wish Copper Coins.】

"Go, hurry, a beast pack is coming from afar," Luo Feng said.

Although the recent battle was brief, its commotion was considerable, so it was normal that it attracted the attention of nearby ferocious beasts.

Xiao Yu and the six of them immediately darted into the adjacent forest.

A ten‑person squad, all clad in black battle suits, arrived at the spot where Xiao Yu's group had just fought, seeing only a wrecked scene and blood spattered everywhere.

The ground itself began to tremble.

"Bad, a beast pack is coming, hurry, protect the Eight Prince," the leader said.

At once, a black‑clad subordinate lifted the Eight Prince, stepped onto a streamlined, giant‑sword‑like flying Mind-force Weapon, and fled quickly; the other eight subordinates also fled in haste.

Over fifty single‑horned iron rhinos burst from the jungle, chasing the Eight Prince's squad.

"They just said Eight Prince, but we don't know which empire it's from," Luo Feng said.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the Black Dragon Mountain Empire," Xiao Yu replied.

Ten minutes later.

"Eight Stellar-level Ninth Tier are pursuing us from behind," Luo Feng suddenly shouted.

"Move quickly," Hong urged.

"3 km left, 2.8 km, 2.6 km... one kilometer remaining," Luo Feng kept reporting the distance.

Xiao Yu suddenly halted, stopped fleeing, and said, "We'll wait for them."

To be honest, eight Stellar-level Ninth Tier don't scare him at all, unless they're all beings who have comprehended the Law, but could that be the case in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!

"600 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters..." Luo Feng continued reporting the distance.

Suddenly the eight arrived, standing before Xiao Yu and his six; the leader was 3.3 meters tall, with red skin, a head shaped like blazing flame, wearing a leather‑like Force Armor, and bearing a massive warblade nearly as tall as himself.

"Three Stellar-level Ninth Tier, and three Stellar-level First to Third Tier? Hmph! How weak!" the red‑skinned man said. "Encircle them."

"Yes." The six subordinates behind obeyed, quickly dispersing to surround Xiao Yu and his six.

There was still one black‑clad subordinate behind, keeping watch.

Xiao Yu looked at the man before him and asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't even know who we are, yet you dare stop and wait!" the red‑skinned man sneered. "Kid, hand over all six horns of the single‑horned iron rhinos, and I might spare your lives, kid."

As for refusing, the red‑skinned man didn't say it, but it was obvious.

"Boss, we are White Tiger Tower, why bother? Just kill them!" the black‑clad subordinate beside the red‑skinned man said coldly.

"My teammates are running out of patience; will you give or not? Answer quickly!" the red‑skinned man said.

Xiao Yu gave Hong, Luo Feng, and the other five a glance and said, "Give your grandma a leg!"

A triple Thunder Domain unfolded, instantly enveloping the eight surrounding Stellar-level Ninth Tier.

The red‑skinned man was startled, "Run quickly!"

But now it was too late to flee; under the triple Thunder Domain, the eight's speed was less than a quarter of their previous speed.

At the same tier, only Domains and Laws can counter a Domain.

The moment Xiao Yu's Domain opened, Hong, Lei Shen, and the other five sprang into action, with Xiao Er watching over Hong and Lei Shen's three.

And Xiao Yi wielded the crimson alloy copper fragment that Luo Feng lent him, effortlessly sweeping past each surrounding Stellar-level Ninth Tier. These warriors and Spiritual Mind Masters, wearing goggles with stern, confident expressions, had their heads sliced off, skulls shattered, brain matter splattered; in their dying moments, the eyes beneath the goggles were filled with terror.

Even the red‑skinned men led by Lian Na only fled a few dozen meters before the blue blade light pierced their heads.
