Farm Girl's Manor

The guards stared warily at the forest less than a hundred yards away, beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads as if what would burst forth the next moment wasn’t an unknown ferocious beast, but rather a bull head and horse face wielding iron chains coming for their lives.

Among them, including King Heng and several severely injured but still conscious Princes and Sons, a boundless fear spread in their hearts. They wished they could pass out immediately like the others. After all, having been coddled under the protection of the Imperial Family and their own Families from a young age, where had they ever witnessed such a brutal scene?

If they were facing enemies, they could remain calm, maintaining the poise of noble offspring unafraid of danger. However, against lowly ferocious beasts that would devour their flesh bite by bite, they simply couldn’t stay composed.

Perhaps the only person who could remain calm at the scene was Xiao Ruiyuan. He had been on the battlefield for many years, having encountered situations even more dangerous and critical than this. Moreover, since the sound of the flute hadn’t sounded again, reinforcements would be arriving shortly. He was confident he could hold out until help arrived and was certain he could get out of this perilous situation.

"Howl—"

"Awoo—"

"Howl—"

"Awoo—"

...

As everyone was highly tense, racking their brains for ways to escape the danger, a series of wolf howls and tiger roars rose, louder than the previous beast roars but lacking the terrifying pressure that chilled the heart.

The beasts that crouched on the ground, their bodies shaking like sieves, had a more direct feeling. In their hearts, there was a collapse; the sudden appearance of an exotic beast that overpowered them was terrifying enough, but they had never imagined that yet another formidable wolf (tiger) boss would appear. When exactly had such a terrifying existence emerged on Phoenix Mountain!

The world of the beasts was simple: they obeyed whoever was the strongest. While the "bosses" hadn’t yet shown themselves, those powerful roars were enough to tell them that the newcomers were not to be trifled with and were far stronger than they themselves were.

The people didn’t miss the abnormal reactions of the beasts, and for a moment, the fear in their hearts magnified countless times. Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and unconsciously gripped the bloodstained Sharp Sword tighter.

Just when some of the Princes and Sons couldn’t take it any longer and were calculating to flee by taking advantage of others’ defenses, the next scene they witnessed almost made their eyeballs pop out—

Under the blue sky and green field, a large and majestic wolf with a triangle of gold fur on its forehead sprang out of the forest, closely followed by a silver-white Snow Wolf, a stately Colourful Tiger with white dotted eyebrows, and a Red Python tens of meters long.

The four beasts approached rapidly, and just when the people thought they were the real "bosses" of the wolves, ferocious tigers, and pythons, a beast the size of a bull, with a Hutou, bovine body, and a coat of Golden fur leaped out rapidly behind them!

The Golden ferocious beast swept up a whirlwind, racing forward like lightning. Its Golden eyes locked firmly onto the fear-stricken people. Under the sunlight, the Golden gleam in its eyes was like Golden arrows, and no one could escape its gaze.

However, everyone’s gazes involuntarily overlooked the Golden beast and incredulously settled on the lake-blue figure on its back!

Graceful black hair, fluttering clothes, the unparalleled maiden sat atop the Golden beast, like a Fairy come down to save the world, bringing hope of life to those on the brink of despair!

People had imagined after the arrival of these terrifying beasts, they might join the horde in a ferocious attack for revenge on their companions; or perhaps they would sit back like a Duke watching a tiger fight, ready to reap the benefits... They had thought of a million possibilities, but they had never imagined they would see such an unforgettable scene!
