Chapter 147: Rescuing Shadowless IV
Nearby magical beasts began to howl frantically as they set out to forage.
While daytime was ideal for them to rest and sleep, nighttime was naturally the prime time for them to move about and hunt for food.
"Brother, should we find a place to rest for a bit first?" Pang Qingyu felt a trace of fear creeping over her. She stepped forward, carefully tugging at her brother's sleeve, and used telepathic sound transmission to communicate with him.
Pang Qingyu had always been bold, but now the howling and screeching of various magical beasts terrified her. When she looked over at Luo Xia and saw not a shred of fear on her face, she naturally felt too embarrassed to let Luo Xia know her true thoughts.
Pang XiaoYu sighed. "Xiaoyu, look at how Miss Luo isn't afraid at all. Let's keep searching instead. The sooner we find Situ, the less danger he'll be in, right?"
Fine. Pang Qingyu pressed her lips together and followed closely behind her brother.
Pang Xiaoyu, Pang Qingyu, Luo Xia, Wealth-Bringing, and Lucky—three humans and two spiritual pets—kept tracking the venom left behind by the spider. Fortunately, as the spider traveled, it continuously dripped venom along the way, and all the grass in their path was utterly destroyed.
"Awooo—"
"Awooo—"
"Not good! Our night-pearl is too bright, and the scent of living humans is far too strong. We'll soon attract a large horde of magical beasts." Hearing the furious roars of beasts coming from all directions, Pang Xiaoyu was greatly alarmed!
Upon hearing this, Pang Qingyu grew even more terrified. Glancing at Luo Xia again, she remained as calm as ever, as if the turmoil surrounding them had no effect on her whatsoever.
"What should we do now? Should we go hide somewhere first? Fighting in the dark is disadvantageous to us." The thought of a massive horde of magical beasts approaching stirred up lingering trauma in Pang Qingyu's heart; earlier today, she had almost become a wolf's meal.
Seeing that Luo Xia was still having Wealth-Bringing collect the venom from the ground, Pang Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning. "Miss Luo, what are your thoughts?"
If only low-level magical beasts were coming, he and Lucky could handle them. He was only afraid that beasts more powerful than him and Lucky might show up, which would spell grave danger.
Luo Xia calmly replied, "Let's press on. There's no telling how much farther this spider cave goes, and besides, with Lucky here, I'm not scared at all."
This was the ultimate vote of confidence in Lucky, and the little creature swelled with immense pride!
Hearing this, the Pang siblings had no choice but to press forward.
The further they advanced, the more ferocious the roars of the magical beasts became, compounded by the rustling of trees whipped by the wild wind, the rumbling sound of boulders rolling down... all these noises converged into something eerie and terrifying!
Even a powerhouse like Pang Xiaoyu felt a sudden surge of chilling terror rise deep within his heart.
Looking back at Luo Xia, she remained utterly composed, while Wealth-Bringing went about its business as usual.
Suddenly, Pang Xiaoyu came to a halt.
Pang Qingyu clutched his sleeve tightly, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Luo Xia stopped in her tracks and looked toward the siblings. "Brother Pang, why have you stopped?"
Pang Xiaoyu sighed. "Miss Luo, look ahead."
Luo Xia followed his gaze, only to see countless pairs of deep green eyes staring back at them!
In the darkness, the malevolent green glow radiating from those eyes was almost enough to frighten a person to death!
Those were—
The eyes of magical beasts!
And they stretched out as far as the eye could see!
Damn it!
Could it be that every single magical beast had swarmed toward their direction?
"Brother, look behind you." Pang Qingyu spoke, on the verge of tears.
Luo Xia and Pang XiaoYu looked back, and at that sight, they were dumbstruck as well!
Behind them were countless pairs of eerie green eyes as well, matching the endless horde in front of them!
"There are some on the left too, and on the right! Brother, we've been surrounded!"
The magical beasts were closing in gradually, roaring with wild excitement, their deafening cries shaking the earth!
