These monkeys should be the victims whose monkey wine had been stolen. Once they knocked down those yao beasts, they would definitely come to settle accounts with them.
After all, that monkey wine was taken out by them!
The number of these monkeys wasn't any less than that of the yao beasts!
Moreover, spirit beasts were generally far more intelligent than yao beasts.
The minds of yao beasts were chaotic, and most of the time they acted purely on instinct.
That's why they'd been able to block those yao beasts earlier.
But spirit beasts, especially monkey-type spirit beasts, were extremely clever. Their brains worked just as well as humans!
If they were surrounded by so many monkeys, they would have nowhere to escape!
Thinking of this outcome, everyone's expressions became tense and grave. Their steps were fast, not daring to stop at all.
Qin Yiwei took out the flying artifact. Everyone quickly got on, then frantically poured in spiritual power and sped away.
Only after the sounds behind them grew smaller and finally disappeared did they dare to turn back.
There were no longer any yao beasts or spirit beasts behind them.
Everyone gasped heavily, "Great!"
"We finally got rid of them!"
"I really thought we were going to die there!"
"Luckily, luckily, we managed to survive a great disaster!"
Everyone let out a big sigh of relief.
"This young master will never coexist with Myriad Beast Sect!" Meng Fanzé was full of anger.
The others also nodded, filled with righteous indignation.
"This Myriad Beast Sect is too terrifying, they can actually command yao beasts!" Jiang Yunnuan frowned tightly. "So many yao beasts!"
Qin Yiwei also frowned, "We have to be careful."
In her previous life, she had also heard of Myriad Beast Sect and knew they were arrogant and domineering.
But she'd never interacted with them, nor did she know they were this outrageously arrogant!
"I think Myriad Beast Sect cannot possibly command so many yao beasts anytime they want without conditions," Chu Jingzhuo said with a grave expression.
If they could casually command that many yao beasts, wouldn't Myriad Beast Sect have already dominated everything?
Moreover, if such an ability spread, they would definitely become the target of everyone.
Who would dare let such a sect exist?
If they offended them, wouldn't it be immediate doom?
So this kind of situation definitely wasn't normal.
Ke Chongbo also nodded, "I've also heard of Myriad Beast Sect being arrogant, but I've never heard of this kind of operation."
Being too high-profile would attract fear and joint attacks from others.
"No matter what, we must prioritise being cautious," Qin Yiwei said.
Everyone nodded together, "Of course!"
If they hadn't happened to encounter those monkeys this time, they might've really been in trouble.
The flying artifact continued forward. Just when there was still some distance left to the sect, a howl suddenly came from behind.
They turned back and let out a gasped.
"Damn it! Those monkeys caught up!"
Everyone's complexions changed, "Quick, quick, quick! Speed up!"
They frantically poured in spiritual power, driving the flying artifact forward.
Even Da Hei was behind, pushing the flying artifact with its claws.
However, this was just an ordinary flying artifact, usually used only for travel.
If it really came down to it, the flying artifact wasn't even as fast as them running themselves!
Xin Jinrui had already jumped off the flying artifact, drawn his spirit sword, and began flying on the sword to lighten everyone's burden.
But this didn't change the situation at all.
The monkeys behind howled as they chased forward, expression agitated and angry.
They must've already dealt with the yao beasts and then come after them again.
Everyone's faces turned pale, these monkeys' noses were too sensitive, they could still track them even from this distance!
"Run!" Chu Jingzhuo shouted, jumping off the flying artifact and sprinting forward.
The others also quickly got off and ran desperately.
At this moment, they were no longer thinking about counterattacking, they only wanted to widen the distance.
That's more than fifty monkeys!
Although they're all third-rank spirit beasts, with this many third-rank spirit beasts combined, the fighting power was terrifying.
Especially since they had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
Everyone put away the flying artifact and ran with all their might.
Da Hei flew into the sky, looked at the situation below, cried out, and flapped its wings back toward the sect.
It had to bring reinforcements.
"Ao ao ao!"
The monkeys chased wildly behind them, swinging through the trees at incredible speed.
Several people were chased until their throats felt like they were on fire. The spirit stones in their hands quickly turned to fine sand, but still couldn't keep up with their speed of consumption.
"Li—!"
"Roar—!"
After who knew how long, when they felt they were about to suffocate, familiar roars sounded in the sky.
They all raised their heads and saw the multicolored Da Hei, and the Soul-Devouring Tiger.
Their eyes immediately lit up with excitement, "Senior!"
"Senior Hu Niu!"
"We're saved!"
"That's great!"
Everyone was so happy they almost cried.
This was a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger!
As long as Senior Hu Niu took action, even so many third-rank spirit monkeys couldn't withstand it.
The gap between fifth-rank and third-rank was enormous.
Everyone was overjoyed, they were finally saved!
They didn't even need the Soul-Devouring Tiger to kill all the monkeys, just scaring them away would be enough.
"Roar~" But before they could celebrate, they saw the Soul-Devouring Tiger suddenly flap its wings upward, then directly fly back the way it came.
Everyone: "..."
"Shit!"
"What the hell?!"
"Why did it run?!"
Everyone was stunned.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger ran?!
Not to mention them, even the Black Abyss Falcon was stunned.
A fifth-rank spirit beast ran?!
What kind of operation was this?!
So cowardly?!
You're a fucking fifth-rank spirit beast!
The people running on the ground were on the verge of tears. The Soul-Devouring Tiger was too heartless, it ran just like that!
They were in despair. If even the Soul-Devouring Tiger had been scared away by the monkeys, could they still survive?
Although despaired, their steps didn't stop. Their chests burned, as if they were about to die.
Just as they felt like they couldn't run anymore, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky.
They struggled to look up and saw a yellow figure rapidly approaching.
"Senior Hu Niu is back!"
"Back!"
At this moment, the several of them seemed like they're injected with chicken blood and immediately shouted excitedly.
When they clearly saw the person on the tiger's back, they became even more excited.
"Master! Master is here!"
"Ahhh, Master!"
"It's Master, ahhh!"
They screamed excitedly, overjoyed.
The Soul-Devouring Tiger quickly landed in front of them and shook its body.
The dizzy Mu Shiyue was shaken off and almost fell to her knees.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and steadied herself.
Otherwise, she would've lost face in front of her disciples.
"Ao ao ao!"
The monkeys caught up.
"Master!"
Everyone's complexions changed.
Facing these fierce monkeys, Mu Shiyue kept a straight face. With a movement of her hand, a large vat appeared in front of her.
The fragrance of monkey wine instantly spread out, and the monkeys also stopped.
