Chapter 1029: Chapter 639: Bait
After muttering to himself, Liu Hun turned his eyes back to the scene. Old Bai has been adventuring outside for many years, and even without using his eyes, he is more than capable of taking on a Jungle Beast, hardly falling behind, though he seemed a bit unaccustomed.
Even so, Liu Hun was somewhat shocked. You must know, these Jungle Beasts are not only incredibly ferocious but also as powerful as mountains; Old Bai relied entirely on his own strength to face a Jungle Beast without being at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Liu Hun vaguely felt that Old Bai hadn’t yet shown all his strength.
As for Wu Dao, he was being chased by a Jungle Beast, jumping up and down, narrowly dodging the Jungle Beast’s attacks several times.
As for Qin Tao, even when facing a Jungle Beast, he was fighting back and forth, with an extremely strong adaptability. It wouldn’t be long before Qin Tao could kill this Jungle Beast.
The remaining people were almost all subordinates of Qin Tao or Wu Dao. Among them, several had already died in the mouths of Jungle Beasts, and the remaining ones were barely coping. If things continue like this, it won’t be long before they are entirely wiped out.
In the whole scene, there were roughly a dozen Jungle Beasts. As for how many they faced behind the large force, Liu Hun had no way of knowing, but it wasn’t his concern anyway.
“Liu Hun, hurry and save me! If you don’t come out, I’ll die in the mouth of this Jungle Beast; then don’t expect me to help you contend for Xuan Fire or kill that damn woman!” Wu Dao shouted loudly to Liu Hun.
Seeing Wu Dao’s appearance, Liu Hun’s forehead immediately sprouted a few black lines.
But now, as he could ignore the Jungle Beast’s seduction, Liu Hun was relieved. Dealing with these Jungle Beasts would be much easier.
“Just keep holding on! Perseverance is victory!” Liu Hun responded to Wu Dao.
“Damn!” Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Wu Dao couldn’t help but curse. This was a matter of life and death, and perseverance wasn’t going to do a damn thing.
If he knew Liu Hun was doing this on purpose, Wu Dao would probably want to kill him.
Liu Hun could also see that old rascal Wu Dao wasn’t in much danger.
But just as Liu Hun’s words fell, a Jungle Beast leaped at him directly; the huge tree snapped at the sound.
At the moment when the tree was about to fall, a cold light flashed in Liu Hun’s eyes. He slammed his feet on the tree trunk, his whole body rushing towards the Jungle Beast.
Seeing Liu Hun’s figure, the Jungle Beast roared out and opened its bloody mouth to bite him; simultaneously, its two forelimbs shot towards Liu Hun.
Just as Liu Hun was about to crash into the Jungle Beast’s mouth, he forcibly twisted his body in mid-air.
His body narrowly dodged the Jungle Beast’s bloody mouth, but the next moment, the Jungle Beast’s two huge claws were already slapping towards him.
If Liu Hun were really hit, he wouldn’t die but would be crippled.
With a flickering cold light in his eyes, he turned his palm, and the dagger appeared directly in his hand, slashing toward the Jungle Beast’s neck.
As for the Jungle Beast’s two paws, Liu Hun seemed to have completely ignored them.
“Squelch!” A slight sound echoed as Liu Hun felt the dagger in his hand cut across the opponent’s neck. Before he could be pleased, the Jungle Beast’s two claws still carried momentum and slapped towards his back.
“Squelch!” A mouthful of blood spurted from Liu Hun’s mouth, and the next moment, he felt as if a train had slammed into his back, his body instantly thrown back.
The most frustrating thing was, as Liu Hun was sent flying, his body went straight toward the Jungle Beast pack. If he really fell into the Jungle Beast pack, even with extraordinary ability, the outcome would be grim.
“Thud!” A dull sound echoed as Liu Hun’s body fell into the beast pack like a cannonball.
However, this time, Liu Hun let his body hit the ground, and without a single move, he acted as if he were dead.
Two Jungle Beasts, with light green eyes flashing with a hint of doubt, came up to Liu Hun and sniffed him lightly.
Just as they were considering whether Liu Hun was dead, Liu Hun suddenly flipped his body, tightly clutching the dagger, and swiped across the necks of the two Jungle Beasts.
After killing three Jungle Beasts, taking advantage of the opponent’s unresponsiveness, Liu Hun swiftly dashed out of the beast pack.
However, there was still a group of frenzied jungle beasts charging towards him from behind.
At this moment, Liu Hun couldn’t care about anything else and charged into the crowd with the beast herd. After this repeated action, some jungle beasts started to scatter and deal with the others.
This way, Liu Hun’s pressure was greatly reduced, but it put immense pressure on the others.
The others didn’t know what exactly was happening in the field and could only support each other with great difficulty.
“Swish!” Liu Hun’s silhouette had just passed by a middle-aged man, who hadn’t even reacted yet, when two jungle beasts lunged at him. He didn’t even manage to utter a cry before being torn apart.
“What a sin, what a sin; I didn’t do it on purpose. You can’t blame me, blame your lack of strength.” Liu Hun muttered softly as he glimpsed the middle-aged man being torn to shreds with his corner of the eye.
Unknowingly, Liu Hun arrived beside Wu Dao. Seeing Wu Dao still being chased by that jungle beast, Liu Hun’s lips slightly curved into a smile, and he shouted loudly to Wu Dao, “Brother Wu, run quickly! A group of jungle beasts is after you, brought over by that so-called Young Master Qin!”
After speaking, Liu Hun glanced at Qin Tao not far away, seeing him frowning slightly while fighting one of the jungle beasts. Clearly, Liu Hun’s words were directed at him, which Qin Tao was well aware of.
That Qin Tao hadn’t reacted yet, when next moment, Wu Dao couldn’t help but curse loudly, “Qin Tao, what the hell are you up to?! If you want to kill me, no need to go about it so indirectly!”
Wu Dao’s angry curse had just erupted when Qin Tao planned to respond, but was interrupted by a whistling sound of wind. At this, Qin Tao’s face changed slightly, and he had no time to argue with Wu Dao, swiftly making his escape as if his feet were smeared with oil.
It’s a joke; dealing with a single jungle beast might be feasible, given some time he might kill it, but if it’s a swarm of jungle beasts, staying is suicidal.
With Wu Dao loudly cursing Qin Tao, coupled with Qin Tao’s continuous fleeing, they managed to attract most of the jungle beasts.
Meanwhile, Liu Hun was sitting on a large tree panting heavily. Watching the two being chased everywhere by a group of jungle beasts, Liu Hun couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Thankfully, these two have decent strength; otherwise, the rest would have been done for long ago.” Liu Hun murmured as he wiped away the fresh blood from his mouth, then moved again, rushing towards the remaining jungle beasts.
With most of the jungle beasts chasing Wu Dao and Qin Tao, Liu Hun began launching sneak attacks on the remaining ones, quickly killing them one by one.
“Alright, I just killed off these jungle beasts for you. If you don’t want your young master to die here, start running and keep shouting to draw the attention of other jungle beasts. I’ll then take the opportunity to kill them.” Liu Hun shouted to the few left in the field after killing the jungle beasts.
While the few were stunned, Liu Hun had already approached Lao Bai, whispering, “Find a tree and hide well; preserving strength and power is the most important.”
Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Lao Bai was momentarily stunned, but soon understood the meaning behind Liu Hun’s words.
Naturally, Lao Bai didn’t refuse. After all, these matters are often thankless, so if Liu Hun had a way to handle it, he need not worry too much.
Soon, chaos erupted in the field. Originally having the upper hand, the jungle beasts were confused by the shouting, and some abandoned chasing Wu Dao and Qin Tao, turning towards the others instead.
Utilizing Liu Hun’s prior tactics, the people didn’t bother with much else, fleeing frantically. They couldn’t defeat the jungle beasts, but running was manageable.
Meanwhile, Liu Hun stood motionless, like a wooden stake, occasionally encountering some passing jungle beasts, dagger in hand, and slicing the neck like a snake hiding in the shadows.
Spent half an hour, and the jungle beasts in the field were completely slain by Liu Hun.
“Alright, everyone can stop running now; all the jungle beasts have been killed.” Liu Hun collected a diamond-shaped crystal core from one of the jungle beast corpses and said to the crowd.
Hearing Liu Hun’s words, everyone stopped in their tracks, removing the cloth from their eyes.
Regarding exhaustion, Qin Tao and Wu Dao were undoubtedly the most worn out, for they attracted the most attention from beginning to end.
Wu Dao and Qin Tao panted heavily a few times, then looked towards Liu Hun. Just as Wu Dao was about to thank Liu Hun, he noticed Liu Hun had no cloth on his face or hands.
Slightly stunned, Wu Dao instinctively asked, “Where’s your cloth? Have you been blindfold-free all along? Hold on, the remark about Qin Tao luring the jungle beasts, that wasn’t intentional, was it?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Dao’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant and angry.
