C90

The Long family's competition!

When the dawn tore through the sky and the dawn light appeared again.

The dragon locust stood on top of the city wall with its hands behind its back. Hearing the footsteps behind it, it asked, "Did you find any trace of them?"

"Reporting to General, Team Seven is less than three kilometers away from the group of demonic beasts and has already marked them along the way!" A young man in armor reported loudly.

"General, General Mu Zhan and the others have returned. They're waiting to meet up with the general to kill the demon beasts together …" Another young man in armor quickly ran in.

With a wave of his hand, the locust dragon immediately soared into the sky. With a cold expression, it soared into the sky within the forest … The warriors waiting below couldn't help but follow along as well.

Two hours later, the dragon and black locust met up with the wood battle, and the huge army of over ten thousand people followed them into the depths of the jungle …

At the same time, in a valley, more than ten thousand Nebula Valley demon beasts had gathered once again. They could not help but burst into cheers once more. A smile appeared in the corner of Nanny Hua's eyes as she laughed along with the other demons. The joy of surviving a calamity was the same in the world of demon beasts …

However, ever since he'd returned from the Green Wood City, Long Yu had been frowning and his face was filled with worry. The ten thousand demonic beasts passed through the forest, and the clear trail they left behind exposed them. Likely, before long, the people from the Cyanwood City would catch up to them. At that time, a fierce battle would unavoidably occur.

Spreading out the map and skimming through it, Long Yu quickly locked onto a canyon five kilometers away!

"Leave immediately!" Although the timing wasn't right, Long Yu didn't have any other choice for the sake of their safety.

The demonic beast that was celebrating saw Long Yu's serious expression, so without saying anything further, it embarked on another journey … They didn't understand some things, but they were clear that Long Yu was helping them. That was enough!

It was noon. Dragon Huai and the others stopped in front of a steep canyon. The canyon was over a hundred feet high. The rock walls on both sides were ferocious. The mountain was precipitous and silent … The valley was densely packed with footprints. At a glance, it was obvious that a large group of beasts had passed by. Moreover, there was a unique aura of the demonic beast in the air. It was obvious that they had left not long ago.

"Chase!" Mu Zhan waved his hand and led his men to charge forward …

"Hold on!" However, before he could move, the dragon locust rose straight up into the air and stood at the height of one hundred zhang as it looked up at the top of the gorge. After the battle last night, regardless of whether it was the timing or the arrangement, these demonic beasts had already caused the dragon locust to no longer dare to look down on them.

"What is there to worry about? Why don't we just directly kill them all?" Behind him, the mercenaries couldn't help but clamor. If they couldn't kill a single demon beast, they would have at least ten thousand Stone of Insight. Who could sit still?

Once this voice was heard, the entire canyon was filled with voices of doubt. However, high in the sky, the dragon locust remained silent. The longsword in its hand waved and a condensed sword aura hacked down above the canyon as if to test it …

With a loud bang, the rocks collapsed and dust flew in all directions. It was as quiet as the night sky, and not a single unusual scene could be seen from the top of the canyon.

"Take a detour!" As he descended, the black dragon and black locust made a prompt decision.

"General Long, this Mulan Valley stretches for over ten miles and can't be more than fifty miles away by taking a detour. How are we supposed to chase down that group of beasts?" When he heard about the escape of the demonic beasts from the city this morning, Mu Zhan's heart was filled with resentment towards the dragon and locust.

The reason why the demonic beasts from the Qingyun Valley had not been killed was because they wanted to bring Xiong Ding and the rest back to the Mu Manor's center town, Wood Spirit City, after the Hegemonical Competition. This was to show off his achievements. Moreover, everyone in the Wood Manor knew of this news. Now that there were no more demonic beasts, how could Mu Zhan possibly return to Wood Spirit City?

"General Long, what Mu Zhan said is reasonable. I don't think that the demonic beast horde can stir up any big waves …" Mu Liantian stood behind Mu Zhan. Mu Qian had been killed, and the demonic beasts had fled after being captured. In this battle for hegemony between the eight prefectures, the Mu Clan was undoubtedly going to be criticized by the people of the world.

Taking a deep breath, the dragon locust pointed at the canyon. "There are no birds to be seen even after the rocks have rolled down. There must be an ambush above the canyon …"

Without waiting for the dragon locust to finish speaking, Li Feng sneered and interrupted his words, "Ambush? General Long said that those demon beasts without intelligence would ambush the human race? "Haha, General Long, are you joking?" Since the Long and Li Family had always been at odds, Li Feng naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

"In that case, please …" Taking a step back, Long Huai took a step back and stood to the side. The two thousand Long family soldiers behind him didn't move at all.

With a sneer, Li Feng leaped up into the air. "Whoever wants to kill a demon beast, follow me!" They shot towards the canyon...

The mercenaries and martial artists behind looked at each other, unable to resist the temptation to rush in like a flood. As for the Long family's army who followed behind, they didn't intend to deliberately rush forward …

Three hundred meters, three thousand meters … Mulan Valley had already gone half the way. The valley on both sides of the valley was still silent, without a single sound.

The Mulan Valley stretched for ten miles, and they were about to reach its end!

"In my opinion, the Long family is as cowardly as a mouse. I'm so afraid of just one valley …" The mercenary that was running in the front glanced at the Long family's army behind him and said with a face full of mockery.

"Who says it isn't? "Look at the valleys on both sides …" A middle-aged man with a long saber on his back pointed at the steep walls on both sides. Just as he was about to continue his sarcasm …

Suddenly, a blurry black dot appeared at the edge of the canyon. The black dots stood neatly in a row on the cliff. In front of the black dot was a large piece of rock, and one of the rock began to fall down.

Accompanied by the rumbling sounds, "Ambush, ambush, quickly run..." The middle-aged man shouted loudly, and the charging troops all stopped, looking in both directions …

With this look, many of the mercenaries' faces turned pale. Their hearts were like dying embers. From the steep cliffs on both sides, giant rocks suddenly fell, and they couldn't see anything else.

"Kill them!" "Kill this horde of demonic beasts, charge …" Being ambushed, Mu Zhan had already lost all sense of reason, and was roaring hysterically. As for the mercenaries below, they were all in an even greater mess as they fled with their hands covering their heads!

"Bang bang …" The huge rock rolled down, and the mercenaries who had lost their direction were smashed into the ground from time to time, spitting out blood …

Wailing, wailing, begging for help!

Blood, blood, death!

Xiong Ding Tian and the other beasts were extremely busy. In accordance with Long Yu's instructions, they smashed the rocks on the wall to pieces. As for the Multi Colored Tiger and the other races, they moved the giant rocks to the edge of the canyon and smashed them downwards …

A fierce look flashed across his eyes. "Congealing Armour Array!" Amidst an explosive shout, the dragon locust body flashed like lightning as it soared into the sky with its longsword like a gust of wind. Numerous sharp sword lights were emitted, and all the rocks that rolled down were smashed into fine powder when they came into contact with the sword qi …

"Those who don't want to die, break these stones!" At first, it was only a few, and then more and more warriors began to join the camp. When the tens of thousands of chaotic cultivation techniques were thrown towards the rolling rocks in the air, besides the flying dregs, there was no more threat in the air.

"Demon beast, where are you running to!" With a flap of its tattooed wings, the dragon locust, Mu Lintian, and Li Feng, the three of them, soared into the air above the canyon!

The sudden appearance of these three people made Long Yu feel as if he was facing a great enemy. He waved his right hand, "Withdraw!" With a wave of his hand, the demonic beasts on both sides of the canyon retreated like the tide. However, there were over a hundred Mountain Shaking Bears that jumped up and fiercely rammed into the rock wall below.

Accompanied by a heaven-shaking, muffled sound, the canyon started trembling. Following that, a 'kacha' sound could be heard as half of the mountain wall unexpectedly began to slowly slide down the cliff.

This was a choice. Mu Liantian and the other three Billowing Tattoos could take advantage of this opportunity to kill the demonic beast before them. At the same time, they could ignore the lives of the people below the canyon and give up on hunting the demonic beasts to prevent the mountain from collapsing …

The three of them could only watch as Long Yu and the others fled, but they couldn't do anything. "Hurry up and make a move." The always refined dragon locust suddenly roared at Mu Liantian and the others.

Being insulted by a junior, Li Feng and Mu Liantian knew they were in the wrong and lowered their heads without saying a word. If it wasn't for them not listening to the advice of the dragon and locust, they wouldn't have fallen into an ambush and faced their current predicament!

"Retreat!" Under the immense tattoos' power, the three of them forcefully stopped the sliding mountain.

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, there was a loud rumble, and the Mulan Valley was blocked by rocks and boulders. There was no more road in front of them … After this ambush, more than half of the human warriors had suffered different degrees of injuries. Over two thousand of them had serious injuries, and were unable to participate in the next hunt.

After paying a painful price, everyone was willing to listen to the command of the dragon and locust tree.

One of them was when the Monster race took the initiative to attack the human race. Even if the dragon locust was careful enough, it was still a step short of being able to catch up with the group of Monstrous Beasts, and they would often pass by each other again.

This place was less than a hundred miles away from the borders of the Stone Manor. Once the demonic beasts fled to the Shi Manor, even if Dragon Huai and the others had a deep hatred for them, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"Damn it!" A punch to the air. Who knew how many times the dragon locust had already spoken. The Long family's pride had long been trampled to the point of not leaving a single piece behind.

"How about we return to the Cyanwood City and gather enough troops to annihilate them?" Mu Zhan probed as he spoke, but before he could finish, his entire body was enveloped in a cold and condensed aura, making him feel as if he were entering an icehouse.

Standing up, the dragon locust seemed to have understood something. At this moment, its eyes flickered with a crazy sheen. "Elder Mu, Elder Li, why don't you go with me?"

How should Long Yu and the others deal with the three engravers?
