Chapter 1496: Chapter 1491: Desperate Situation (Part 2)

"Wait!" Han Kun said.

He had said this before.

And believed it was the best way now.

Because as long as these exotic beasts didn’t attack them, they were willing to wait.

That way, they could survive.

However, he didn’t think this situation could persist for long.

The exotic beasts would not just watch them idly.

Probably, it wouldn’t be long before they took action.

As soon as this thought passed, he saw the Beast King move.

Not forward, but backward.

The dozen or so mighty exotic beasts beside it also retreated.

After retreating about ten meters, they jumped onto a huge rock, overlooking them from afar.

At the same time, a low, resonant sound emitted from its mouth.

Immediately, the herd of exotic beasts became agitated.

It was obvious that the murderous and chaotic gleam in their eyes became even stronger.

"Not good!"

The three Peak Soldier Kings of Han Kun immediately spread out into a triangular formation.

In fact, they had been prepared from the beginning.

So, they quickly took shape.

Behind them, those who were less injured and relatively stronger also maintained the formation.

However, Han Kun and the three, despite having set up the triangular formation.

But their number was just too many.

It was really hard to take care of everyone.

Or rather, they could only protect a small number of people.

The others had to join the battle.

Lin Yanxia naturally stood in the very back; it could be said that with one more step back, she would step into the canyon.

Now, of course, she was the safest one.

There was no way around this.

Even the most seriously injured one here was as strong as a King of Soldiers.

She was merely a top special forces soldier.

The gap in strength between King of Soldiers and special forces was too great.

Facing the beast horde, she barely had any room to resist.

The next moment, the already berserk exotic beasts rushed towards them without hesitation.

Their sheer numbers were enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

At this moment, everyone showed a grave expression.

In their hands, they produced weapons made from refined steel, as well as some other arms.

Yes, all were cold weapons.

However, now, nearly every weapon in their hands was scarred and severely damaged.

If not better than bare fists, they would absolutely dislike them, but they had no choice now.

"Kill!"

At this time, Bai Zhan snorted coldly.

No one retreated; everyone brandished their weapons and stabbed at the approaching exotic beasts.

Almost, everyone took down one beast per strike.

Especially Han Kun and his three, who looked extremely skilled and didn’t exert much effort.

Nevertheless, the three of them still looked very serious.

Because there were just too many in front, and the three of them bore the brunt of the pressure.

They absolutely couldn’t afford any slip-ups.

If any of the three made a mistake, the formation would be broken.

Then, they would have to retreat into the canyon.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before someone died.

Eventually, they would all die under the exotic beasts.

Retreating into the canyon, who knows?

Compared to the despair in front, even if what lay inside was previously described as dangerous, never having seen it firsthand, there would always be a sliver of hope.

As everyone battled the endless exotic beasts, two kilometers away from them.

Those six people were walking leisurely but at a swift pace.

Headed in the direction of Han Kun and the others.

Around them, there were also dense masses of exotic beasts.

No matter if you looked in front or behind, the beast hordes stretched endlessly.

However, strangely, none of these beast hordes attacked them.

They even maintained a certain distance from them.

About two meters away.

It wasn’t that these exotic beasts had intelligence.

In reality, their eyes still brimmed with chaos and slaughter.

And they continually roared at the six.

Yet, none attacked.

It seemed something instinctive made them wary.

"Big brother, shouldn’t we hurry a bit?" One of them asked the Innate Powerhouse.

This Innate Powerhouse appeared very ordinary.

The kind you’d have a hard time recognizing in a crowd.

His gaze was steady, saying, "No rush!"

"If we don’t hurry, those people will all die at the hands of the exotic beasts!" The person’s face was somewhat anxious.

"Wouldn’t that be better?" The others looked slightly puzzled.

"But those people killed our nineteen!" "I must personally slaughter them!"

"That’s only because they’re weaker!" said the Innate Powerhouse, "If you’re that eager, you can speed up to finish them off!"

With that, he glanced at the anxious person, who immediately fell silent.

He didn’t want to die!

Each of those three was stronger and more ruthless than he was.

Even if the three were seriously injured, he wouldn’t dare face them.

Moreover, he knew his big brother’s character very well.

So, he wouldn’t argue further, or he’d suffer for sure.

Still, he was incredibly unwilling inside.

Why weren’t they swiftly going to kill those people?

Otherwise, what if those people entered the canyon?

The dangers of the canyon, they surely knew.

But, didn’t they still hold a shred of hope?

If they survived, got ejected alongside them, and were exposed to the Lin family’s ancestor, their plan wouldn’t be so perfect.

It might even be largely ruined.

But what could be done?

The leader had said so!

Luckily, they weren’t far from the final canyon.

At their current speed, they’d reach it in a few minutes.

Wait!

About ten kilometers away.

Lin Xi was almost holding Zhu Ying, rushing towards the Grand Canyon at full speed.

Otherwise, dragging someone would significantly slow him down.

As Zhu Ying sensed the increasing danger to Yan Xia, he had to change his approach.

Of course, carrying someone while running didn’t impact Lin Xi much.

Moreover, there were no exotic beasts in his current location.

Not a single exotic beast could be seen.

It was normal.

If exotic beasts were everywhere within a dozen kilometers, it would be indescribably terrifying.

Outside the canyon, beneath Han Kun and the others, there wasn’t a single exotic beast.

But in their hands, they never stopped.

With each strike, an exotic beast would die.

The dead exotic beast would immediately turn into a gray gas, blending into the air.

As if nothing had happened.

And from when the fight started to now, it’s been a full fifteen minutes.

Meaning, they had held for fifteen minutes.

In these fifteen minutes, they hadn’t paused a single moment.

Han Kun, Bai Zhan, and Lin Tian had foreheads covered in sweat, with their faces a bit pale.

They carried some new injuries, but fortunately, nothing too serious.

The others weren’t as well off.
