In the middle of the night, the ground shaking caused by the tide of phantom beasts became more and more violent, and everyone who was sleeping woke up one after another.

Forced by the situation, we had to take a tactical retreat!

Even if there are thousands of confusions in the hearts of the people, they can only be temporarily suppressed.

Jiang Liumu's heart was heavy, but his face was calm and composed: "Everyone listens to the order and is ready to go. The first team will open the way ahead, the second team will guard the middle section, and the third team will gather on the top of the mountain after breaking up!" At the end, he drew his sword and pointed straight ahead. That lush and dangerous peak.

The members of the mercenary group quickly stood up and ran up the mountain according to the instructions.

In the middle of the team, Jiang Liumu took Nan Rongyue and others to a trot all the way.

For this trip to the Forest of the Demon Realm, the royal family members were all present, except for the second princess Yu Wenxuan... I don't know why she didn't show up.

Yu Wenrui looked at Yu Wenxun and others who were guarded in front, feeling dark in his heart.

As if God wanted to answer Yu Wenrui's doubts, Yu Wenxiu, who was running ahead, asked, "Why didn't Yu Wenxuan come?"

As Yu Wenxuan's older brother, Yu Wenxun had a rare way to explain his confusion: "She was imprisoned by the emperor a while ago, and I guess she hasn't been released yet!"

Yu Wenxiu became curious: "Because of what?" She didn't know that Yu Wenxuan was locked up.

"Ah, you have to ask the man behind you!" Yu Wenxun turned to look at Jiang Liumu with a malicious expression on his face.

Jiang Liumu obviously heard their conversation, his face was stiff.

Now it's Nan Rongyue's turn to be curious: "Brother, what's the matter? Could it be that the second princess' confinement has something to do with you?"

Nan Rongyue asked questions while running, her face was neither red nor out of breath, obviously she had excellent stamina.

Jiang Liumu's face became even stiffer, and he scolded in a low voice: "Don't ask so many questions about children!"

"Hehe, isn't my brother-in-law shy?" Yu Wenxun joked with an unscrupulous face.

"Brother-in-law?" Several people were taken aback.

Seeing Jiang Liumu's face getting paler but unwilling to reveal half of it, Yu Wenxun "kindly" explained the confusion.

"Didn't my brother-in-law come to Gyeonggi to participate in the finals of the magician competition more than a year ago? Xuan'er was also there at that time, hehe..."

Yu Wenxun showed a wretched smile at everyone and continued: "As soon as Xuan'er returned to the palace, she and the queen made a fuss about seeing her brother-in-law, and the queen also arranged for a summons, but unfortunately her brother-in-law's attitude has always been cold, pity my sister's heart." I'm wrong..."

Yu Wenxun ignored Jiang Liumu Tieqing's face and said sarcastically: "Tsk tsk, Xuan'er was imprisoned by the emperor in order to marry you, but you fled to the forest of the Demon Realm to seek refuge like a plague! What a concubine has love And Lang has no intention of..."

Everyone's eyes became playful, and they took turns teasing Jiang Liumu.

Jiang Liumu, who has always been gentle, held his resentment in his heart but couldn't express it. He didn't like the unruly and willful royal princess, but the girl relied on her power and insisted on stalking him to marry him. He took refuge in the forest of the Demon Realm It is also a helpless move.

He angrily ordered to the team that opened the way ahead: "The ones in front, haven't you eaten yet? Quicken your pace! Quicken your pace!"

The members of the road-opening team held up their sharp weapons to chop off the thorny obstacles, and resentment rose in their hearts.

It's only late at night, and they didn't have a meal, okay? If the head of the regiment gets angry, he will vent his anger on these little soldiers!

The mountain road was steep, and the overall progress of the team was much slower, and the rumble of the ground seemed to be far away from them.

On the way to the top, several teams of students joined them in order to avoid the tide of phantom beasts. The whole team suddenly expanded a lot, and it was estimated that there were one or two hundred people.

An hour later, the top of the mountain.

Everyone stood at the highest point overlooking the whole mountain range surrounded by dense and lush forests, some flying unnamed phantom beasts hovering at the top of the forest, not far from the gurgling stream flowing along the foot of the mountain... all the scenery , forming a lively and interesting painting.

The red clouds in the east are brilliant, and the sun is about to rise from the horizon.

The place is safe for the time being, and the high-level leaders of the several teams decided to wait until the tide of phantom beasts receded before going down the mountain.

The sun was just right in the morning, and the breeze blew across the cheeks. Everyone sat down and enjoyed the sunrise while eating breakfast.

But the peaceful time is always short. After a while, the ground at the foot of the mountain trembled again.

The rumbling sound was deafening. Standing on the top of the mountain, I felt that my whole body was on the verge of falling.

"Look at the foot of the mountain!" In the confusion, someone shouted.

Everyone looked for the sound, but they saw billowing yellow dust rising from the foot of the mountain, and tens of thousands of phantom beasts galloping forward as if fleeing for their lives.

"Oh my god!" There was a gasping voice in the air.

"It's spectacular!" Someone shouted again.

But how can such a mighty dense scene be described as "magnificent"!

It's strange, now is not the season for the collective migration of phantom beasts, but why are there frequent phantom beasts in the past two days...

People who have never seen the big scene have long been amazed, and people who are a little smarter and calmer are already thinking about the reason for such a strange phenomenon.

Jiang Liumu, who remained silent the entire time, surveyed the audience and suddenly said, "Look at the back of the phantom beast tide!"

Yu Wenrui and the others adjusted their angles, only to see some abnormalities at the end of the Eudemons tide.

Nan Rongyue recognized it immediately, "It's a mutant jackal with red eyes!"

Yu Wenfeng replied: "Yes, they seem to be chasing the phantom beasts ahead!"

At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of mutated jackals were closely following behind the wave of phantom beasts. They were vigorous and fast.

"Strange..." Yu Wenrui pondered.

Jiang Liumu asked her: "What did you find?"

Yu Wenrui said: "It stands to reason that there are many types of phantom beasts in the tide of phantom beasts, with a large base, and their grades are also high and low. Some of them are huge in size, some are quick in action, and many of them are even stronger than jackals. They have absolutely no reason to be afraid of hundreds of low-level jackals in this area."

Su Chen slapped his forehead: "That's right! Tens of thousands of phantom beasts are being chased by hundreds of jackals... This is too strange!"

"So, the question is, why are all the ordinary phantom beasts in the forest afraid of this mutated jackal? And... why are these jackals mutated? Are there other mutated phantoms in the forest?"

Nan Rongyue, who had a quick mind, said something worthy of further study in one breath.

Jiang Liumu concluded with a deep expression: "Yes, if we don't figure out these issues, we may face more unknown dangers in this month in the Demon Forest."

A few people were talking, when the mutated jackal suddenly stopped chasing and turned around.

An ominous premonition arose in Yu Wenrui's heart.

Sure enough, I saw those jackals running towards the direction where their team gathered.

I saw the hundreds of mutated jackals running quickly up the mountain, and soon, their figures were buried in the mountain forest with scattered shadows and disappeared without a trace.

"Oops, they may have gone up the mountain!" When everyone reacted, they realized it was too late.

Yu Wenxiu was flustered: "It's too scary, how do they know there are humans on the top of the mountain?"

Could it be that their sense of smell and vision are hundreds of kilometers away, and they can detect traces of living people on the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain?

And they actually know how to use the cover of vegetation to go up the mountain...

Possessing such ability and wisdom, I'm afraid it's not a low-level phantom beast but a monster!

Jiang Liumu calmly stated the facts: "Everyone, please calm down! Take up weapons and prepare to fight at any time, we are surrounded."

The crowd gathered in the middle and away from the edge of the cliff, raised their weapons tremblingly, and stared down intently.

People who are good at short-range attacks consciously stand on the outermost edge, while mage archers who are good at long-range attacks are protected to the middle area.

Naturally, Yu Wenrui came to the periphery with a big knife, while Nan Rongyue was guarded in the middle, and the two separated by a short distance.

The steep hillside covered by dense vegetation is very quiet, without the slightest sound, but everyone dare not even blink their eyes, for fear that the cunning phantom will jump from below to the top of the hill and drag them away.

"—Swish, swish"

There was movement in the vegetation, and everyone outside held their weapons tightly, their eyes wide open.

- Swish Swish Swish

Almost in the next second, a dozen or so jackals that reached the top of the mountain jumped up and rushed towards the crowd.

"Clang, clang..." was the sound of the weapon hitting the jackal's claws.

Everyone huddled together, and Yu Wenrui's sword could not be used flexibly, so she moved forward a small step.

After chopping the two jackals down the mountain, Yu Wenrui looked down the mountain and found it difficult.

Those jackals that were beaten and rolled down the mountain got up and continued to rush to the top of the mountain as if nothing happened.

Some jackals were obviously seriously injured, and their backs were full of scattered arrows, but they didn't seem to feel pain, and they rushed upwards more fiercely than before.

Could it be that this mutated jackal has acquired the indestructible body of a diamond?

Yu Wenrui shook off the strange thoughts in his head and concentrated on fighting.

It was like fighting a protracted siege battle. The enemy troops who climbed the city wall repelled one wave and then came up again.

Two hours passed, and the sun was shining in the sky, evaporating the water vapor gathered in the forest.

The crowd was exhausted from fighting, and they had forgotten how many mutated jackals they had fought back.

Just when everyone was discouraged, those jackals stopped fighting automatically for some reason, they turned around one after another, and hurriedly hid in the woods like a tide.

After confirming that the jackals had really retreated, the exhausted people sat down on the ground and panted.

"Why did they all retreat?"

"I guess it's because we humans are too powerful, they won't be able to attack for a long time..."

"Hey, I think so too!"

In the team, some people were whispering.

"Is anyone injured?" Jiang Liumu looked around and asked loudly.

"There are wounded! Head, look at Lao Liu's hand!"

Jiang Liumu took a closer look, and saw a pale-faced subordinate trembling while covering the back of his bleeding hand.

"It should have been scratched by a jackal, the therapist, come here!" Jiang Liumu stared at the three deep cuts on the back of his hand, obviously scratched.

Out of caution, Yu Wenrui turned his head to look at the wound of the wounded, which was a terrible sight.

Huh?The wound is rotting?But the jackal's claws are obviously not poisonous!

Wait, such a rich dark element...is the corrosion magic of the dark system!

After a little thought, Yu Wenrui figured out the ins and outs.

She stood up and hurriedly said: "Everyone, please listen to me. While it's still daylight, go down the mountain and find a safe place to hide for a few days. This mountain top is too dangerous!"

"Who are you? Why do you let us go?" A questioning voice came from the crowd.

"Let's go down the mountain now? The ghost knows if something will pop up from the middle of the mountain!" Another voice of objection.

"Yeah, the top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if those jackals come, they can be beaten down. Besides, there will be no ferocious animal swarms on the top of the mountain. If it rains, there is no need to avoid torrents. I also think the top of the mountain is better than the mountain. The mountain is safe." A third objecting voice came out.

Jiang Liumu waved his hand to stop everyone talking.

He calmly asked Yu Wenrui: "Xiao Rui, you said you let us go down the mountain, you have to give a reason?"

Yu Wenrui said coldly: "At night, these jackals will attack again, and they will be more dangerous than during the day."

After she finished speaking, she put on an expression of believing it or not, waiting for everyone to decide.

If it wasn't for Nan Rongyue's safety, she wouldn't bother to care about the life and death of these frogs at the bottom of the well.

"You ignorant woman, don't scare me here!"

"Yeah, you little kid knows a lot!"

Less than a third of the hundreds of people present knew Yu Wenrui. The little-known Yu Wenrui could not be convinced by the crowd. More and more voices of criticism came, and they all unanimously opposed her proposal to go down the mountain.

Jin Shuya and Zhang Jiaojiao sat aside and watched Yu Wenrui being opposed by everyone, feeling very unhappy.

Only Nan Rongyue sat beside Yu Wenrui, holding her hand and softly comforting her not to take it to heart.

The moment when the hands were clasped, it also evoked the long-lost warmth in Yu Wenrui's heart.

The author has something to say: Yu Wenrui is a combat method hahaha, he can both melee and far away~

If you don't listen to Yu Wenrui, you will regret it!
