Chapter 48: No Enemies Would Meet If They Weren't Fated To

  The Star City was destroyed, the demon beasts slaughtered the city, Ye Chen didn't know what was going on inside, but seeing that many demon beasts retreated, he knew that this attack was almost over. Demon beasts rarely occupy cities when attacking, they just destroy them.

  Many monsters retreated, these monsters got their own benefits and did not miss this place, they all had their own territory, so after Ye Chen left the Yuwang Monument, he became cautious.

  The peaks of Yuelu Mountain are densely forested, towering and majestic. Now it's easy to hunt down the demonic beasts, as long as you don't make too much noise and aren't chased by a pack of them. As for where the demonic beasts are? It's all too easy to find out.

  Ye Chen carefully searched for his prey in the forest, where thousands of demonic beasts returned to their nests. Ye Chen could see hundreds and thousands of demonic beasts, but finding a suitable one would take more time.

  Soon after, Ye Chen found an easy target, the Dusk Wolf Beast, a second-level demon beast that excelled at running with extremely high speed. Its most distinctive feature was its pack behavior; once the Dusk Wolf Beasts formed a large group, they became extremely terrifying, and even fourth- or fifth-level demon beasts would have to make way for them.

  What made Ye Chen feel easy was that there was only one dusk wolf beast, and in his eyes, this was an extremely easy thing to do.

  Ye Chen hid among the trees, looking for the direction of the wolf beast's advance. Ye Chen's three years of training often emphasized using weakness to overcome strength and required a single hit to be decisive, so Ye Chen waited for a very long time to find an opportunity.

  Years of habit, even when encountering a lone dusk wolf beast, Ye Chen remained cautious and vigilant. Soon, the opportunity he had been waiting for presented itself before him. With a flash of light, his long sword pierced through the dusk wolf beast's neck, giving it no chance to react. The dusk wolf beast then fell to the ground.

  Ye Chen revealed a smile and swooped down to kill a dusk wolf beast, which could provide him with a good meal, and even had some leftovers.

  Ye Chen dragged Mu Lang beast wanting to go back, after all Chen Tao and Xiao Xue were still waiting for him to cook dinner.

  However, things didn't go as Ye Chen had thought. Accidents always happen, and just as Ye Chen was dragging the Dusk Wolf Beast back and forth, he heard the miserable cries of the demon beast and human voices.

  Ye Chen was startled and went towards the place where the sound came from. It was a small hillside, Ye Chen was on top, while those mournful cries were coming from below.

  Ye Chen carefully observed from above, it was a team of people, about fifteen or sixteen in total, with strong and powerful abilities. With just one lift of their hands, one slash of the knife, one swing of the sword, the demonic beasts would be severely injured or even killed.

  But the miserable howls of the monster attracted more monsters to come and help, and the pressure on those people also became greater and greater.

  Ye Chen looked from a distance and found that the strength of these people was all in the Xiantian realm, as if protecting someone in the middle. This person was blocked in the middle, Ye Chen couldn't see clearly, but seeing these Xiantian realm strongmen so desperate, he could tell that this person's identity was not to be underestimated, and must be a direct descendant of a large family or sect.

  These people killed monsters while advancing towards the mountain, looking at their direction, they wanted to cross over this mountain peak and move forward.

  Ye Chen knew that if he continued walking in this direction, he would eventually reach Xue Xing City, the closest city to Star City.

  It seems that these people are fleeing from Night Star City. Although everyone's strength is still strong, they can still feel weak and there are bloodstains on their bodies.

  These people are indeed loyal and at this critical moment, they still wholeheartedly protect the person behind them.

  It's unclear who the person standing in the center is, and Ye Chen just takes a look. Ye Chen isn't a savior who rescues people out of kindness; when he sees someone in trouble, although he'll do what he can to help, it also depends on whether the other person is worth helping or not.

  The bloody smell attracts more returning beasts, and once these beasts see humans, they are like arch-enemies, yet at the same time, as if they have taken stimulants, their eyes turn bright red, and they pounce on them directly.

  The war between the demon beasts and humans is inexplicable, with neither side being right or wrong. Both sides want to occupy resources and drive each other away, which is an irreconcilable contradiction. Even if it subsides for now, it cannot stop what will happen in the not-too-distant future.

  Everyone believes that the war between humans and demons is about to break out again. Humans have been recovering for a hundred years, and their strength has also increased greatly after these years of cultivation. The outbreak of war is inevitable. This time, the demon's attack on the city was just the fuse.

  After someone was pounced on by a level-four demonic beast, Ye Chen finally discovered who the person being protected in the middle was.

  Ye Chen's eyes turned red in an instant, it was indeed that enemies would not gather together without a grudge. The person who was protected by the crowd and stood out was Ye Chen's arch-nemesis Su Hao. Just because Su Hao almost died himself, although he benefited from the disaster, Ye Chen still did not forget his hatred for Su Hao.

  Although Ye Chen didn't show it, he was also a person who wouldn't take a punch from someone without fighting back.

  Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and his enemies looked even more red-eyed at this moment. How could Ye Chen go to rescue them now? He hated that these monsters would kill all the people in front of him.

  But the people who protected Su Hao were too powerful, and Ye Chen had experienced how strong the combined strength of more than a dozen congenital realm powerhouses was.

  Even if several fifth-grade demon beasts came, they couldn't stop the joint efforts of these pre-heavenly strongmen, although they were all exhausted, but still very powerful.

  These people fought as they walked, while Su Hao in the center didn't seem to have been injured at all, watching calmly as these people protected him in front of him without helping or speaking.

  Ye Chen realized that if he wanted these guys to pay a heavy price, the four or five level demon beasts that rushed over were not enough to deal with.

  So if you want Su Hao to pay the price, a more powerful demon beast must be summoned.

  Ye Chen looked around and found that most of the demonic beasts had arrived, but these beasts alone could not inflict heavy casualties on these people. He must think of another way.

  It just so happened that Ye Chen saw the dusk wolf beast under his feet. Although the dusk wolf beast was only level two, it was a pack of demonic beasts and they knew how to cooperate, producing extremely astonishing strength.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and quietly left his original position. As for Ye Chen, it was rare for anyone to discover his current stealthy movements, let alone these guys who were exhausted from being tormented by the demon beasts.

  Dusk Wolves are pack animals, and finding one here means others are likely nearby. This one somehow became separated from its pack and was encountered by Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen returned to the place where he had previously discovered the Dusk Wolf Beast, but couldn't find any trace of it. However, this didn't stump Ye Chen. Over the past three years, Ye Chen had not only learned how to slaughter demonic beasts, but also how to communicate with them.

  Of course, this kind of communication is only used when the demon beast does not see a real person. In the past, Ye Chen had always been mixed with wild beasts, but the wolf beast was a second-level demon beast and its strength was not too great, so Ye Chen could sometimes hear the voice of the wolf beast and also imitate it.

  Ye Chen couldn't find the Dusk Wolf Beast, so he imitated its howl to summon the pack.

  The howl of a wolf can be heard from far away, and an urgent howl will trigger more howls.
