Chapter 360 "Ecology"

Eagle men fly at high altitudes, mainly hovering over the team's heads, scouting and guarding against threats that may come at any time around them.

The orcs also made a lot of preparations for this operation. Some orc investigators had been active in the East Zenith Mountains early on to collect the intelligence needed for this operation.

They have many routes to use, two of which can reach the destination at the fastest speed, and their troops have been divided into two groups to advance.

Some of the more tortuous and complicated routes are prepared to deal with possible human pursuits.

Now they are traveling on such a road, which requires passing through a deep and rugged valley and repeatedly passing through the interior of the mountain.

They had done their homework, but their pursuers had not, and it was easy for them to be thrown off in a place like this.

The Eagle Man watched the team enter a mountain, then sped across the mountain and waited at the exit.

At the same time, it did not give up its reconnaissance of the surroundings.

Suddenly, an unusual air current blew by, slightly disturbing its flight.

It adjusted itself quickly and perked up.

With its reconnaissance capabilities, high-altitude flight and super vision, there is no need to worry about your own safety as a scout. No matter how you hide your body, you can't escape its eyes in the open sky...

Swah——

The eagle's pupils suddenly narrowed, and its wide vision was blocked by a burly and majestic figure.

And, not human!
Why...the one who attacked it was a terrifying beast? !
How did it suddenly appear before my eyes? !
Apart from spatial movement, the Eagle Man could not think of anything that could bypass his vision and reach him directly in the sky.

It flapped its wings quickly, demonstrating its superb flying skills in an emergency, to stay away from the sudden appearance of the beast.

The beast stretched its claws behind it, and the thick hilt of the sword pierced through the flesh and was grasped and pulled out.

The hunting sword spun quickly in the air and slashed twice, flashing a dark blue light.

What does this move mean?

Stab it!

Eagle Man realized why the other party was able to suddenly touch him.

After the beast in front of him swung two swords in the air, its two wings were smoothly cut off.

It could feel two sharp sword energies slashing through its body, taking away its wings and its life.

An invisible miracle!

The eagle man fell down weakly, and the beast stretched out its body, piercing its falling body with the sword, and then the two fell together.

Boom!
After a dull thud, the beast grabbed the body of the eagle man on the sword and bit it with its mouth.

Feathers flew, and after a moment, the tattered remains of flesh and blood were thrown to the ground.

The beast was irritable and picky at this time, but the food it wasted was quietly dug away by its tentacles. Food should not be wasted casually.

The black and white beast continued to collect auras over a large area.

The eagle found it. It was just circling and scouting in the air, which meant its team was nearby.

found it.

This time it was much easier to find than the eagle's breath. The eagle's breath was intermittent, and when the wind direction was bad, it was completely disordered. The beast could only run around and clumsily try and error.

But things that run on the ground are much simpler.

It chased after it quickly with a sword in hand, slid down the steep cliff, leaving deep marks on the cliff with its claws, and landed in a stream.

The other party was very cautious and smart. He waded through the stream to cover his tracks.

It’s a pity that the Eagle Man was tracked down just by taking a glance from far up in the sky, let alone those walking on the ground.

There are too many traces.

The wild beasts walked on the running water.

From a distance, Rafafar also saw the scene of Anti quickly killing the orc in mid-air and was shocked.

This...can the instinctive priests of the contemporary sacrificial tower do it so easily?
Of course, to kill the Eagle Man at high altitude by bypassing reconnaissance, it mainly depends on the concealment ability. As long as the strength is guaranteed to a certain extent, it is not easy to decide everything.

But it was still too shocking for Rafafar.

What he is worried about now is not how to deal with the beastmen, but what to do if Anti cannot change back?
Should he fight the beast?
Should I go to Mr. Shuman for help?

Of course, it could also be that he was worrying too much. Anti was not such a rash person and he was probably confident that he could control himself.

With the beast's ability to track a high-flying orc across a mountain range, Rafafar had no doubt that his supposedly exquisite miracle of concealment had been exposed to the other party's perception.

It was just that Anti deliberately ignored him. As long as he didn't reveal too much of his aura and presence, he could barely follow the beast while the beast turned a blind eye.

This is the proof that Antiochus was still a human being.

From afar, Rafafar watched the beast come to a cliff, break through the cliff and go into the mountain. He planned to wait for a while before following in.

It was definitely not that the Five-clawed Executioner was scared. He just wanted to make sure he didn't get too close to the beast that Anti transformed into in the narrow space and not anger the other party.

……

Inside the mountain, on a narrow road, the orc team's progress slowed down, but still maintained order.

The last one to come was the leader of this group of orcs.

Suddenly, it turned its head and looked behind it, then said, "Stop."

The team immediately stopped and turned to look at the leader behind them.

The leading orc was silent for a moment and said, "Divide into two groups. The front group will continue along the original road, and the back group will dig another path." The other orcs were a little confused, but had no objection and did as the leader said.

The leading orc arranged a capable person to follow the team on the original road, while he himself followed the team whose progress would be slower due to digging a new road.

After the two teams walked a little further away, the leading orc suddenly tore the top of the cave passage with one claw, blocking the fork in the road.

After doing this, it stared for a moment, then turned around and followed the team.

It didn't sense anything specific, nor did it smell any strange scent, but its "beast intuition" miracle worked at a high intensity all the way.

As the name suggests, this is an intuition-enhancing miracle.

Because it is a beast miracle, it naturally has limitations, and only strengthens the intuition related to survival instinct. However, if the basic intuition of seeking benefits and avoiding harm can be strengthened to a certain extent, it is completely sufficient.

However, few people, whether human or beast, would learn to master this miracle, because its effect is unclear, as is the nature of intuition.

Even if you use this miracle to strengthen, you may not feel anything. There are so many other useful beast miracles. What's the point of learning this miracle whose benefits depend on luck and are unstable?
But the leading orc discovered the secret of this miracle.

This is the driving force behind its growth.

When the eagle man came back to report, it felt a little irritable in its heart, which was a warning from its intuition. So it chose to activate the backup plan without hesitation and change the way to deal with the pursuers.

As a result, the feeling not only did not weaken, but instead made its hair stand on end for an instant.

And this gut reaction is fleeting.

And it weakened rapidly.

However, the leading orc did not think that this was because the crisis was gone.

That might be a self-comforting conjecture, but the leading orc had another more convincing and terrifying idea: when the danger is far away, the intuition is reminding him; when the danger is approaching, the intuitive reminder becomes stronger and stronger; when the danger comes to a relatively close distance, the intuitive warning reaches its peak.

But after that, the intuition stopped working and the intuition stopped responding...

Because when the crisis gets closer——

Even its intuition could no longer sense the other party.

Boom!

A loud noise came from behind, and for a moment it seemed as if the entire mountain was shaking.

"Run!" the leading orc shouted without hesitation.

In fact, there was no need for it to remind them. With such a horrifying noise, the orcs in front had already started to sprint forward.

The leading orc was still the rear guard of the team.

The weak ones staying behind will only increase panic and cannot even delay the real threat, so it is better for the strong ones to deal with it.

I just don’t know which team that strange pursuer will choose to chase.

After the beast Anti opened the way, he noticed that the breath was divided into two.

It did not hesitate and followed the original path straight ahead.

Anti can make it think to a certain extent, but it cannot make it think all the time.

The beast was moving quickly through the narrow passage. A corner appeared in front of it. Just as it was about to pass through, a knife flashed in the darkness, and the cold light aimed at the beast's neck and fell.

Keng!
Anti was pushed against the wall by a sudden attack from a tiger-headed orc holding a ring-handled broadsword.

However, as the orc who launched the attack, it was the one staring with wide eyes in surprise at the beast in front of it, which was thinner than it but much taller.

similar?

Although they knew that a group of humans who mastered the miracles of wild beasts were chasing them, could humans who relied solely on the miracles of wild beasts have such pure animal nature?
Furthermore.

It had just been the rear guard of the team, and had caught a sudden blow from the air raid. Although the opponent was a skilled hunter, it tended to relax and neglect observation when it was close to its prey.

In fact, the other party's reaction when he was attacked was indeed as if he didn't notice it.

But then, its knife was blocked by the opponent's greatsword at close range.

What a quick reaction!

"Who are you? Fellow countryman, why are you chasing us?" The tiger beastman asked, pretending to be calm.

"Hurulu——" The only response it got was the snoring sound of the beast in front of it with its teeth bared.

Keng!
The black and white beast suddenly exerted force to block the tiger-headed orc's knife, and its slender front claws pressed the opponent's neck and pressed him against the stone wall.

Bang! The merciless collision shook the cave passage and cracks appeared on the stone wall.

After hitting it once, Anti swung his hand again and hit it against another stone wall.

The tiger-headed orc was knocked dizzy, but his body was still flashing with miraculous power and he did not give up resistance.

Seeing that it was about to break free, Anti threw it away.

The tall figure flew out and hit an inverted stone pillar, falling straight to the ground. The tiger-headed orc was covered in dirt and stood up immediately.

Beast miracles are performed by beasts, and their compatibility is far higher than that of ordinary human beast believers.

With the body of a beast and the vitality of a beast, his body is extremely stiff due to various blessings, and his recovery ability should not be underestimated.

But just as it regrouped, it saw a faint blue light flash, and the knife in its hand seemed to be bounced away by an invisible impact. Then, a huge bloody mark was torn on its chest, and blood gushed out.

what……!?
