1428 Counter-hun

Most of the people there were Lu Changwei's friends.

Lu Changwei though, was useless at this critical moment, and the Chen Xiaobei they had been against the entire time, stepped up to the plate and saved them from a desperate crisis. 

Any person with a conscience would thank Chen Xiaobei from the bottom of their hearts for saving them.

From this moment onwards, even though Lu Changwei still held onto a grudge, most of the people no longer saw Chen Xiaobei as the enemy.

In other words, if they still had animosity towards Chen Xiaobei, then that would mean that they were ungrateful beings that were lesser than animals.

Of course, at this very moment, no one had dared express hostility towards Chen Xiaobei. Even if they wished to plot against him, they would have to do it clandestinely.

"Alright! Everyone! Enough nonsense!" Chen Xiaobei raised his arm. "This wave of Beast Horde has been defeated but the Demonic Beasts seemed to have a bigger plan in mind! We'd better return to the safe zone!"

Of course, everyone agreed to this suggestion.

The area outside the safe zone was just too dangerous. They could not stay there any longer.

They paid no attention to Ximen Dingjun and Old Meng.

After all, Old Meng's cultivation was equivalent to a demigod. If it was within his capability, he could rescue Ximen Dingjun. But if it wasn't and even if the people wanted to help, they could do nothing.

The people began to move in the direction of the safe zone.

The old Overgrown Forest Capital City.

A raven with feathers as dark as night and as big as an eagle glided into the giant stone pyramid.

"Who let you in? Where is General Spriceros?"

In the darkness, a stern voice spoke, causing the whole place to tremble.

"I'm here to report… report on… General Spiriceros's current condition … he… he…" it seemed that it was the black raven's first time inside the pyramid. It was so frightened by the Tyrant Dragon King's presence that it was stuttering, barely able to speak.

"What nonsense! Can't you speak properly?" Tyrant Dragon King boomed impatiently. "You don't need to tell me! I know that General Spiriceros has won! He's my favorite, and most trusted lieutenant. All these years, he has been able to execute all the tasks I've given him perfectly! I don't have to worry about anything when he's in charge!"

Tyrant Dragon King sounded very confident. He clearly regarded the Crystal-Armor Rhinoceros highly, and trusted him.

The Tyrant Dragon King believed that his favorite lieutenant was able to take care of this business flawlessly, and get the item that he wanted.

"No, General Spiriceros, he… did not win… He…" The raven was beginning to sweat; its heart feeling like it was going to explode.

"Did not win? How is that possible?" Tyrant Dragon King roared. "Tell me everything or prepare to die!"

"Ye… yes, yes." The raven took in a deep breath. "General Spiriceros, he… he's dead! He and the 466 Demonic Beasts he had with him are gone!"

"What?!" The Tyrant Dragon King's sudden anger shook the ground and the stones began to shift; it was as if the pyramid was going to crumble.

"Don't be mad, your honor." The raven wished it could fly far away now but its feet was glued to the ground, shivering in terror.

"Don't be mad?" The Tyrant Dragon King's tone was frosty. "Those puny humans have trampled all over me! Am I not supposed to be angry? Should I wait for them to walk all over me and shit on my head?!"

"Your grace, you mean…" the raven began.

"Broadcast my orders! To my right and to my left! 108 army generals! Gather all of their respective subordinates! I want all of them assembled within one hour!"

"Every…one assemble?" The raven's jaw dropped open. "Your grace, what are you going to do?"

"500 years of hibernation and the Northern Wilderness Temple seemed to have forgotten that I exist! Those humans organize some Elite Hunting Competition every year, right? This year, I want to join the hunt as well! A million Demonic Beasts will hunt down the humans! Just thinking about it make me happy!"

"One… one… million Demonic Beasts hunting humans…." The raven swallowed. Its feathers soaked in nervous sweat.

Only the young nobles of the planets in Northern Wilderness Starfield were able to join Elite Hunting Competition.

For example, it was ussually the young governors of each Capital City, and also the heirs of aristocratic families. There were also many heirs from many other mid-tier families!

Behind all these heirs, there were also other important young members who followed the lead of those forces.

Dong Xiaowu, for example, had brought in the most outstanding young men, and Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue brought their own blood relatives!

The people who had joined the Elite Hunting Competition could be said to be the crème de la crème of the Northern Wilderness Starfield's future generation! It could be even said that they were the future of the Northern Wilderness Starfield!

And the Tyrant Dragon King was about to begin a counter-hunt on the humans!

If they succeed, all these families would lose all of their heirs and important young members within a short amount of time! It would be a disaster! The entire Northern Wilderness Starfield would have no peace!

In the long term, the Northern Wilderness Starfield would have a massive void in human resource that would last for at least 20 to 30 years! There would be a huge deficit in manpower and resources! Once could only imagine what would happen to the Starfield!

The Tyrant Dragon King's move would shake the entire foundation of Northern Wilderness Starfield, and topple their entire structure!

On the other side, Chen Xiaobei was leading the whole group into the safe zone.

Because the Demonic Beasts were under orders to assemble, the group did not meet any obstructions along the way. They arrived in the safe zone just before sunset.

"Phew!" Dong Xiaowu exhaled loudly. "We are finally safe! After today, we only have two days left! After we take the championship title, we can all return to Silver Plume!"

"It's all thanks to Mr. Chen that we are able to return unharmed!" Qin Luo smiled. "Once we get the prize, Muyue's illness can be cured completely! In the future, our inner city will be even more exciting!"

"Yeah! Those who have survived a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune later on! Muyue will recover completely!" Wei Ruolong grinned.

"Muyue! Congratulations!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Miao Yiyue and Wenren Muyue shared a very close-knit relationship. His words were scarce, because the emotions he was feeling were very complicated.

Right now, even though everyone believed that the storm had passed and they were safe, Wenren Muyue and Chen Xiaobei were still unable to relax.

"Lady Wenren, did you notice something unusual as well?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"Yeah!" Wenren Muyue nodded, an obvious anxiety in her voice. "Something is not right. We didn't meet a single high-ranked Demonic Beast on our way back! Now that we are back in the safe zone, there is not a single low-ranked Demonic Beast to be seen! That's very strange!"

"Huh!"

Everyone was shocked by her statement.
