"I hope we won't encounter any more trouble on the road," Zhang Yuan continued, knowing that Lu Yunyou was eager to go back: "We won't stay in Dilong City for long, and we should return to Chiyun City soon."
"That's good." Seeing that what Zhang Yuan said was no different from what he had guessed, Lu Yunyou felt much relieved. Now he just looked forward to going back as soon as possible.
"Yunyou, are you really not going to join our team?"
"I haven't thought it through yet."
"Everyone, please pay attention, there is a herd of beasts in front of you." Just when Zhang Yuan wanted to ask Lu Yunyou what his plans were in the future, Hong Ying in front suddenly turned around and shouted to everyone.
Immediately afterwards, the entire convoy came to a stop. When they heard the noise coming from the front, everyone was deeply worried about the appearance of the herd. At this moment, the Feng Lei Escort had moved its vehicles and personnel to both sides of the road. So Hong Ying followed the example of the Fenglei Escort Bureau, and hurriedly asked people to evacuate to both sides of the road, and then prepared for battle.
Then, when everyone was staring nervously at the road ahead, the movement ahead became louder and louder, as if many ferocious beasts were running towards them.
As everyone continued to wait, after a while, a dozen huge silver-backed gray cattle appeared in everyone's sight.
The attack power of silver-backed gray cattle is very strong. Judging from their size, those silver-backed gray cattle are no less powerful than fourth-level martial arts cultivators. If they fight with those silver-backed gray cattle, both teams will definitely suffer casualties. Fortunately, the silverback gray cattle are not carnivorous beasts. As long as they are not actively attacked by the herd, people on both sides will naturally not attack them.
Fortunately, Li An's judgment was very correct. The beasts ran directly through the gap they made, and there was no danger. When the beasts ran away, everyone slowly relaxed and the rest of the trip went as usual. , until two hours later, another group of ferocious beasts appeared in front of them, but they were in the sky.
The sharp screams pierced the sky, neat and dense. From a distance, everyone could hear a large number of vicious birds flying in their direction.
When those ferocious birds flew into everyone's sight as expected, it looked like a black cloud approaching the direction of the convoy from a distance, getting bigger and bigger. Since they didn't know whether those ferocious birds would attack them, Li An and Hong Ying stopped the convoy again and everyone was ready to fight.
After the herd got closer, everyone could clearly see the black-feathered and white-beaked eagle that kept spreading its wings. Its wings were more than four meters wide when spread out, and its body length seemed to reach three meters. The black wings were connected together. The sky and the earth were like a large moving dark cloud, beneath the herd of beasts, and everyone clearly felt a different wind blowing.
Obviously the wind was caused by the flapping wings of the black-feathered and white-beaked eagles. One can imagine how powerful the overall power of dozens of vicious birds was. When those vicious birds approached, everyone secretly sweated.
Although the two teams combined totaled more than a hundred people, it was still very difficult to defeat those ferocious birds. Everyone was looking forward to the ferocious birds flying directly above them.
Not long after, everyone's expectations came true, as dozens of ferocious birds flew directly above their heads and flew far away.
"It's so scary," exclamations came one after another. When those ferocious birds flew away, everyone looked frightened. After a long pause, the two teams set off again. After experiencing two consecutive scares, everyone felt a little more scared. Feelings of uncertainty.
In the middle of the crowd, Lu Yunyou was surrounded by lively discussions, which made him more and more restless. Like everyone else, he did not understand why he encountered two herds of beasts in a row, but was not attacked by the beasts. .
"Is there a beast tide?" As beasts appeared one after another, everyone became more and more surprised, and some even thought of the worst possibility.
"It's impossible. If it's a beast tide, those ferocious beasts should gather together regardless of group, but now only ferocious beasts of the same kind appear."
"Yes, if it was a tide of beasts, we would have been attacked by the beasts long ago, but those ferocious beasts obviously had no intention of attacking us. They seemed more like they were avoiding something."
"Let's take a look first and then talk!"
…
With each person's words, more and more people participated in the discussion. When the possibility of a beast tide was mentioned, everyone showed a look of stern expression.
Although he had a low status in the Lu family before, Lu Yunyou still knew some information related to the beast tide. It was a situation where various ferocious beasts gathered together to attack areas where humans were concentrated. However, according to everyone's analysis, the situation that just appeared was not the same. It conforms to the characteristics of the beast tide, so no one has been able to tell the reason for what happened.
It was getting late, and the red sun on the top of the mountain in the west was slowly sinking. Just as the leaders of the two teams were discussing whether to stop and rest, a low roar came from the front again. There was no need for the people outside to search for information to remind everyone. Knowing that there were another group of ferocious beasts running towards them ahead.
"Move to the edge of the forest immediately!" Immediately afterwards, Hong Ying came back and gave instructions to move the convoy to the left, all the way to the edge of the forest.
As soon as Hong Ying finished speaking, several mammoths began to tremble involuntarily as if they had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation.
Considering that there might be high-level ferocious beasts ahead, everyone immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. At the same time, the noise in front became louder and louder, and it sounded like the ferocious beasts were not far away from them.
Not long after, a herd of beasts with an immeasurable number appeared in everyone's sight. From a distance, it was a dark place. Initially, everyone thought that as long as they moved their vehicles to the forest to make way for the beasts, it would be safe. But after seeing the size of the herd, everyone had to quickly move their vehicles further into the forest.
Time is short. Even if three or five martial arts practitioners can quickly cut off a big tree from the roots, it will still take time to move the vehicle. Moreover, if the cut down tree accidentally blocks the path of the vicious beast, their situation may be different. More dangerous.
When the group of ferocious beasts rushed forward, people could stay away, but the vehicles could not move. As everyone waited more and more nervously, a group of spiny beasts rushed from west to east.
The backs of those ferocious beasts covered with spikes looked extremely terrifying. There were hundreds of them, large and small. The ferocious beasts at the front of the herd were especially huge. Each one had a physique comparable to that of a mammoth. If compared with this group, When the spiny beasts faced off, the two teams had no other choice but to throw away their goods and run for their lives.
The scene of the spiny beasts rushing past was even more shocking than the group of eagles flying past before. Everyone completely ignored the safety of the vehicles and hid as deep into the forest as possible.
In shock, everyone clearly saw that some spiny beasts on the side were almost touching the vehicle. As long as a sharp thorn touched the mammoth, those mammoths would definitely be dead or injured.
Fortunately, the beasts disappeared just as quickly as they came. Not long after, the beasts had completely disappeared from everyone's sight. Everyone's anxious hearts were finally relieved, and they were finally safe.
After confirming that the herd had left, everyone cautiously returned to the vehicle to check the situation. The bodies of the mammoths were still trembling. Apparently they had not yet reacted to the fear caused by the spiny beasts when they passed by. Fortunately, they were not injured.
Unknowingly, the sunset had already set below the mountain. Since the mammoths were temporarily incapacitated, Hong Ying and Li An could only let the team stay where they were to rest. Then, under Hong Ying's arrangement, some people were responsible for comforting the frightened mammoths, and some people Busy making fire and cooking.
In fact, when Lu Yunyou and the others encountered such a situation, most other teams in the nearby area encountered similar situations. Some teams were driving in narrow mountain roads and had no choice but to escape when a large group of ferocious beasts rushed towards them. Even though the personnel were able to avoid the impact of the beasts in time, their cargo was smashed to pieces, and the mammoths used to pull the cart were trampled into pulp by countless ferocious beasts. The scene was extremely chaotic.
It can be said that regardless of the size of the teams, once they encounter a herd of animals in a small place, they will suffer irreparable losses. It is worth mentioning that there is also an escort agency that is fighting against the bandits. As a result, when the two sides are fighting fiercely, Suddenly a group of ferocious beasts rushed from a distance.
When they discovered the ferocious beasts, they quickly stopped their movements one by one and hurriedly ran to both sides. However, those who reacted slower or were injured and difficult to move were all trampled to death by the beasts in extreme panic.
Compared with the encounters of those personnel, the thrilling situations experienced by Lu Yunyou and the others were nothing. At the end of the day, the area around them was full of frights. Whether it was bandits or various escort agencies, they were worried about the continuous appearance of the herds of animals. Worried.
After dinner was prepared, everyone who had been traveling all day did not have time to eat. Instead, they all had a heated discussion about the reasons for the frequent appearance of the herd of beasts.
As a person with little experience, Lu Yunyou could only quietly be a listener when others put forward various speculations about the frequent occurrence of beast herds.
