The fierce battle continued.

  Another thrilling evasion. At the moment when they brushed past each other, Chen Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, but this time it landed on the Blade Beast.

  The blood droplets fell on the sword body and were strangely absorbed. The red light that had been flickering on and off on the Blade Beast's sword body suddenly disappeared.

  Chen Yue didn't notice it at all. When one's mind was highly concentrated, it was extremely easy to get tired, and it was very difficult to pay attention to things outside. He just swung his sword as usual.

  At the instant when the sword body stabbed into the flesh and blood of the Purple-striped Ice Lion, Chen Yue clearly felt that a mysterious invisible force suddenly burst out from the Blade Beast and rushed into the Purple-striped Ice Lion's body all at once.

  Its body suddenly shook, and it almost got caught by the giant ape that followed closely behind.

  "What, what's going on?"

  After leading the Ramor Giant Ape to circle around, Chen Yue finally got a moment to check the situation of the Purple-striped Ice Lion. Although the saying goes that when there are too many lice, one doesn't itch anymore, in the past, every time it got one more wound, the Purple-striped Ice Lion would always fly into a rage. However, at this moment, it was just dumbfounded and didn't react at all.

  At this moment, if Chen Yue went around to its front, he could see that the Purple-striped Ice Lion's eyes were filled with unconscious blankness.

  "Anyway, it must die."

  Shaking his head and putting the confusion behind him, the Purple-striped Ice Lion's current state was just perfect for him.

  "Roar, roar." Two consecutive roars suddenly sounded nearby. Chen Yue's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look. Just in time, he saw two figures, one big and one small, running out of the darkness.

  The other two fifth-level magical beasts in the outer area had finally arrived.

  With their arrival, this magical beast riot reached its climax. More than 80% of the magical beasts in the outer area had all come out. After all, the Frozen Rabbit's appeal was far inferior to these four kings. At this time, instead of subsiding, the magical beast riot swept across the entire outer area. The human adventurers who were still staying in the Iceberg Mountains were having a really bad time. Almost every one of them had to deal with the attacks of two to three magical beasts at the same time.

  "Consider yourself lucky."

  Gritting his teeth with hatred, the veins on Chen Yue's arms bulged.

  Even if Chen Yue was confident, he didn't think that he could kill the Purple-striped Ice Lion under the attack of four magical beasts. Facing this extremely unfavorable situation, he could only consider retreating temporarily.

  Don't look at how he was now fighting two fifth-level magical beasts as if it were a piece of cake. But Chen Yue knew how all this came about and how much burden his body was bearing. At this moment, he was already on the verge of collapse.

  Under fair circumstances, Chen Yue could only fight against a fifth-level magical beast when he was at his best, and the outcome was still uncertain.

  If it weren't for the Ramor Giant Ape's irritable and hot-tempered nature, which made it easy to be blinded by anger, if it weren't for the Purple-striped Ice Lion's great fear of the giant ape's strength, he wouldn't have been able to create such favorable conditions at all. And if it weren't for the Blade Beast's abnormal ability, he probably wouldn't even be able to cut through the ice lion's skin.

  "Let's retreat."

  Adjusting his direction, Chen Yue was about to leave before the newly arrived ones joined the battle. Suddenly, something that no one (or beast) could have expected happened.

  The Purple-striped Ice Lion, which had been standing there stupidly, suddenly let out a roar full of extreme fear, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing. It crazily rushed towards Chen Yue's side. But when it passed by Chen Yue, it seemed that it didn't see this great enemy at all and rushed past without stopping.

  "Huh!"

  Not only Chen Yue, but also the two newly arrived magical beasts and the giant ape were all stunned for a moment. Then, extremely strange expressions appeared on their faces. Looking at the quickly disappearing Purple-striped Ice Lion, they were at a loss and didn't react for a while.

  Chen Yue was the first to react. With a push of his feet, he quickly chased after it.

  "What a shame for magical beasts." The three magical beasts looked at each other, and they could all see the embarrassment and a bit of shyness in each other's eyes. With the four fifth-level magical beasts gathered together, they were actually scared away by a human... The Purple-striped Ice Lion's move undoubtedly made them lose all their face. If they could speak human language, they would surely curse out loud immediately.

  Still, the Ramor Giant Ape roared first and chased after it. Then came the other two magical beasts. At this moment, their thoughts were completely the same.

  If they didn't tear that human apart, they couldn't afford to lose this face...

  At the moment when they brushed past each other, Chen Yue saw clearly that the Purple-striped Ice Lion's eyes were filled with endless panic. This was definitely not a normal situation. It should be because of some kind of attack.

  Recalling the abnormality of the Blade Beast at that instant, Chen Yue had some understanding.

  "Could it be the Blade Beast's second ability?"

  The abilities of summoned beasts were different and were closely related to their star levels. A summoned beast with several stars would have several abilities. Usually, after a summoned beast descended from the Spirit Realm, it would come with one ability, and the other abilities needed to be explored. Every time one ability was explored, the difficulty of exploring the next ability would double. Therefore, situations like having a four-star summoned beast but only being able to explore at most three abilities were very common among apostles.

  Both the Blade Beast and the Frozen Rabbit were two-star. They should both have two abilities. The Blade Beast's first ability was suspected to be instant kill. Then the mysterious energy that suddenly burst out just now should be the second ability.

  Either of them was extremely powerful and could help them challenge opponents of higher levels. Chen Yue was increasingly feeling the power of summoned beasts' abilities and was naturally very enthusiastic about their abilities.

  He didn't expect to explore all of the Blade Beast's abilities so easily. Besides being surprised, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel excited.

  Logically speaking, even though it was the second ability, due to the level limitation, the Blade Beast, which was only a two-star first-order summoned beast, shouldn't have been able to cause such a big reaction to the Purple-striped Ice Lion. However, the Blade Beast was an extremely rare and special weapon-type summoned beast. Perhaps it had a special effect. Facing this situation that couldn't be explained by common sense, Chen Yue once again felt the lack of information.

  The Purple-striped Ice Lion was running wildly in front. The intense movement made its wounds burst open, and countless streams of blood splashed out, dyeing it red again. But it didn't notice it at all. He didn't know if it was because the potential was stimulated under the panic. Its speed had actually increased a lot. Even Chen Yue, who was running at full speed, almost couldn't keep up.

  As for the other three magical beasts, although they started a bit late, they caught up quickly. However, what made them sad was that as time passed, instead of getting closer, the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther.

  The other two magical beasts were not good at speed in the first place, so it took them so long to arrive. There was no need to mention it now. The Ramor Giant Ape's speed was originally faster than Chen Yue's. Unfortunately, after this series of running and dodging, especially affected by the collision with the Purple-striped Ice Lion, its physical strength had dropped greatly and it was gradually unable to keep up.

  This fact made it so angry that it wanted to jump up and down, but it couldn't bear to give up. It could only do its best to barely maintain a not short distance and not be left too far behind.

  The physical quality of magical beasts had always been better than that of humans, which also made them usually stronger than human professionals of the same level. However, what made them sad to the point of crying was that the human in front was actually running faster and faster and even surpassed their most proud recovery ability.

  After all, who was the magical beast...

  The Purple-striped Ice Lion's speed wasn't its original one after all. Potential had its limits. Slowly, its speed became slower and slower. Chen Yue exerted more effort and quickly narrowed the distance between them.

  Without having to do extreme evasion actions like the "Seven Injuries Fist", his body's recovery ability immediately became active, as if a torrent was flowing among every cell in his body. After running for a while like this, the hidden injuries that had accumulated were actually healed by a small half. One could see the miraculous effect of the "Health Preservation Formula".

  "Heaven wants you to die. No one else is to blame." Quickly approaching the Purple-striped Ice Lion whose decline was becoming more and more obvious, Chen Yue didn't hesitate to swing his sword.

  "Zila." This sword caused far more damage to the Purple-striped Ice Lion in a daze than before. The Blade Beast deeply stabbed into the Purple-striped Ice Lion's right hind leg and took away a full kilogram of flesh and blood. The hot blood spurted out. Chen Yue dodged, but didn't completely avoid it. A little bit of blood splashed onto his body. Fortunately, this blood wasn't as terrifying as the blood of those powerful magical beasts in the purgatory difficulty. Chen Yue didn't care about it.

  The Purple-striped Ice Lion's mobility was immediately halved. Its eyes became a bit hazy, and it seemed to have regained some consciousness.

  Unfortunately, the Blade Beast's special attack wasn't triggered, which made Chen Yue vaguely understand that the previous attack was really a matter of good luck.

  One man and one beast, one chasing and one fleeing. Their minds weren't on the road at all. And because of the prestige of the fifth-level magical beasts, along the way, low-level magical beasts all gave way one after another, which actually made them reach the gathering point of the four major forces without any obstruction.

  After the magical beast riot, more than ten people from the four major forces immediately fell into the ocean of the magical beast army. Countless low-level magical beasts continuously launched attacks on them, and among them were also mixed with several fourth-level magical beasts, which made it extremely difficult for them to deal with. Therefore, even though they clearly knew that there were still more powerful magical beasts that hadn't shown up, they had no way to go to the place where the roars came from to check.

  Thorne was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Their side was okay. More than a dozen people were at least fifth-level, so there was no danger to their lives. But what about Chen Yue...

  He had proposed several times to go and check and even clearly said that he wanted to save people, but he was rejected by them. Poison Dragon even reprimanded him rudely, telling him not to joke with everyone's lives and not to drag others down if he wanted to die.

  The magical beasts seemed to be endless. Gradually, they had the idea of retreating. Just when they were about to put it into action, the group of magical beasts suddenly became restless and made way for a passage. Then, a tall blood-red figure rushed over from a distance.

  "A fifth-level magical beast..." Someone muttered this sentence. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and an uncontrollable chill rose up.

  Third-level and even fourth-level magical beasts all obediently made way. Then, the origin of the other side was already obvious.

  No one dared to boast that they could fight against a fifth-level magical beast head-on. Even the sixth-level great magician trembled a little and didn't say much.

  What they were afraid of wasn't a single fifth-level magical beast, but the thought that in this terrible magical beast riot, even powerful fifth-level magical beasts had appeared. Then, what about sixth-level ones?

  The blood-red magical beast was getting closer and closer. By the dim moonlight, they could see that this magical beast was covered with blood everywhere, obviously having suffered heavy injuries.

  While they felt relieved in their hearts, doubts also suddenly rose.

  "Who was it that seriously injured it?"

  "Does this represent a turning point?"

  Countless questions came flooding in.

  Then, they eagerly turned their eyes to the back of the passage. If a scarred magical beast also appeared there, then it would mean that the magical beasts were fighting among themselves, and they would have a turning point. Moreover, facing two seriously injured fifth-level magical beasts, they might even be able to make a small fortune.

  Just like this, Chen Yue entered everyone's sight.

  "Look, it's a human chasing it."

  It was hard to describe how they felt at this moment. A magical beast that was almost impossible for them to defeat in their eyes was now like a stray dog, being chased by this slightly thin young man. It didn't even have the courage to turn around and fight...

  "How powerful must this person be?"

  Then, they saw Chen Yue catch up with the Purple-striped Ice Lion and saw him take away a large piece of the ice lion's flesh with one sword. That sword seemed to have cut on their own bodies. Everyone's heart suddenly twitched violently, and some people couldn't help but touch their right legs.

  "Terrible..."

  At first, when the distance was still far, they only knew that the other side was a human. But when the distance got closer, Thorne immediately recognized him.

  "It's him."

  "Thorne, do you know him?" Poison Dragon licked his lips, and he didn't even notice that his tone was extremely dry.

  The others also noticed the conversation between the two and all pricked up their ears. Even the great magician was no exception.

  "Him." Thorne's expression was a bit strange. "He's the person I said I wanted to save before."

  Everyone was silent at the same time: "..."
