Chapter 10, The Legion of Monsters

The double-horned deer has a slender physique, with a coat patterned in alternating black and white. Its limbs are well-developed, making it a mid-level magical beast found in dense forests. It possesses the innate ability of wind blades, allowing it to run at incredible speeds when at full gallop. For an ordinary person, it is undoubtedly a challenging beast to hunt; however, for Yang Ling, it is not a difficult task, requiring only patience to seize the opportunity.

At a critical moment, Yang Ling deployed his army of magical beasts. After extensive training, the cooperation between the Evil Eye and the Horned Bee Beast had become increasingly proficient, making it the perfect opportunity to test their power against these fierce and brutal barbarians.

Watching the ferocious barbarians and listening to their blatant threats, the human warrior at the forefront tightly gripped the wooden stick in his hand. After a moment of contemplation, he quietly instructed the young man behind him, "Agusu, you will lead everyone south shortly. If I remember correctly, there is a forest elf tribe in that direction. Although we humans are not welcomed by the elves, at least those who worship the goddess of nature will not stand by and watch us perish"

The double-horned deer seemed to sense something, prompting Yang Ling to quickly calm his mind. After a moment of thought, he came up with an idea and gently patted the horned bee beast beside him. The little creature understood and slowly crawled out from the grass. After this period of adjustment, he had trained these domesticated horned bee beasts to be as nimble as his fingers

Holding a fragile wooden stick, Cassie took a deep look towards the West, then rushed forward without looking back. Continuing westward, after passing through the Tera and Tubus forests, he would reach his hometown, Wisen Town. There, he had his kind mother, his little angel who was not yet five years old, and his beloved wife

Yang Ling used a dagger to cut open the head of the two-horned deer, extracting a dark green crystal core. After condensing the deer's essence blood into two blood beads the size of thumbs, he allowed the greedy horned wasps to swarm over it, tearing into it with their mouths.

On this day, through the dense and tangled grass, Yang Ling fixed his gaze on the nearby double-horned deer, quietly waiting for the right moment to strike. Over the past few days, he had led the Horned Bee Beast and the Evil Eye in hunting numerous low-level magical beasts, obtaining dozens of precious magical beast crystal cores. At the same time, he had also accumulated over a hundred rare magical beast blood beads

Hmph, trying to escape? That's simply seeking death! A barbarian over two meters tall said as he stepped closer to a group of ragged humans, wielding an axe that gleamed coldly and was larger than a wheel

"No, Kashi, I will not leave. If we are to go, we shall go together!" Agus's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the barbarian across from him.

to fail at the last moment

Similar to the angle bee beast, after spending some time in the mysterious witch tower, the evil eye also underwent significant changes. The iris changed from blue to light green, the tentacles became longer and more flexible. The light projectiles shot out transformed from white to light green, increasing in size from the diameter of a thumb to that of a walnut, and what could originally penetrate only a few centimeters of stone slabs can now create a deep pit as deep as half a chopstick in solid rock.

Looking at the fierce-looking barbarian and the increasingly large axe, Cassie sought nothing more than to take down one barbarian as a return on his investment. However, just as he was preparing to perish alongside his enemy, a thunderous buzzing sound suddenly erupted behind him. Following that, a group of menacing horned bee beasts rushed past like a gust of wind.

"Even if I die in battle, it is still better than becoming a so-called sacrifice!" A blood-soaked human warrior gripped a sharp wooden stick tightly in his hand. Behind him, apart from a few other bloodied warriors, more than twenty humans huddled together in terror. Among them were an elderly man with white hair, a child whose head was larger than his body, and even a mother holding a baby.

The barbarians are tall and strong, possessing strength akin to that of an ox, and are naturally formidable mountain warriors. It is said that among them, the elite warriors can even challenge a mid-level magical beast, the Iron Lizard, in hand-to-hand combat. In recent days, Yang Ling has learned about various circumstances surrounding the Elf tribe through the beautiful Sophia.

Dozens of human corpses lay between the woods, some with their heads severed from their bodies, some cleaved in half at the waist, and others reduced to fragments; dark red entrails and blood-stained intestines... It is a sight that shocks the senses. It seems that a one-sided massacre has just occurred here

A month ago, in order to earn money for his mother's medical treatment, the newly adult Agus followed the mercenary Kashi into the Tlas Forest to hunt. Unexpectedly, after hunting a few double-horned deer and returning home laden with several crystal cores, he suddenly encountered terrifying barbarians. Captured, he became a sacrificial offering kept by the barbarians, and every few days, one person was dragged out and thrown alive into an unfathomable cave.

After taking a few steps forward, the leading barbarian extended his tongue to lick the blood from the axe, "You wretched humans should consider yourselves fortunate to become our sacrifice"

Caught off guard, the barbarians collapsed at the first touch. Some were blinded, covering their bleeding eyes and flailing about like headless flies; others cried out for their parents, desperately pressing on the brain matter that was gushing from their foreheads; and still others, witnessing their legs reduced to mere bones in the blink of an eye, fell down in disbelief

Meanwhile, Yang Ling cautiously released more than 200 horned bee beasts to form a perimeter. After a brief moment, seeing that the two-horned deer remained oblivious, he slowly released half of the evil eyes, directing them to quietly occupy advantageous terrain

Hunting is the best training. After taming a large number of Evil Eyes, Yang Ling seized the opportunity to train them in attack and defense in various environments. To strengthen the combat instincts of the Evil Eyes, he sometimes even allowed them to face fierce magical beasts alone.

After a gentle breeze passed, the two-horned deer perked up its ears, attentively listening to the sounds around it; its nose twitched repeatedly, as if carefully discerning the unusual scents in the air

With a call, the double-horned deer unleashed a powerful gust of wind, severing the tender branches from the treetops, which it quickly consumed. Its tail, resembling a horse's, swished back and forth incessantly, driving away several bloodsucking flies the size of chopsticks

After turning a mountain pass, Yang Ling suddenly heard a scream. Straining to listen, he discerned faint sounds of fighting carried by the wind, accompanied by a subtle hint of blood in the air

Hehe, since you are seeking your own demise, do not blame us for being ruthless! After a cold snort, the leading barbarian charged forward with his tribe. Some of the more aggressive barbarians roared loudly as they rushed in.

Watching the barbarian's crimson tongue as he swallowed the chunks of flesh stuck to the axe, people trembled in terror. Some tightly closed their eyes, praying for divine protection; others appeared dazed, as if they had lost their very souls; and still others let out a scream before fainting outright

After observing the slow-moving horned beast that had emerged to forage, the two-horned deer felt relieved and continued to nibble on the tender branches on the ground, completely unaware of the impending danger. With winter approaching, it had traveled to many places in search of a taste of sweet tender shoots.

Under his training, the inherently chaotic nature of the evil eyes underwent a significant transformation; they instinctively gathered together at the slightest disturbance in the vicinity, bombarding with concentrated light projectiles.

The nearby forest is rarely visited by people, and one hardly sees any signs of human presence. In confusion, Yang Ling followed the scent of blood and hurried over, leaping from one tree to another with a swift "whoosh," quickly arriving at the scene of the incident. Since successfully taming over two thousand Evil Eyes, his strength and speed have significantly improved.

Hehe, the fiftieth crystal core

After the leader of the tribe raised the axe high, the leading barbarian said fiercely: "Now, you have two choices. Either obediently return with us and become our sacrifices, or stand there and wait to die!"

Looking at the stubborn Agusu behind him, Kaxi chose not to say anything more. The elven tribe to the south is at least several dozen kilometers away, and after exhausting themselves, who could possibly escape the pursuit of the so-called mountain warriors, the barbarians

If the Hornet Beast is a bayonet, then the barbarian next experienced the power of a mortar. A large group of Evil Eyes suddenly appeared, quickly forming a bizarre crescent-shaped formation, and shot out thick green energy projectiles.

Could it be that one has encountered a hunter of beasts?

Help...

Under the command of Yang Ling, the attacks from the evil eye's light projectiles were relentless, forming a massive three-dimensional crossfire network. Within their range, all objects were ruthlessly destroyed, with even some boulders turning to dust in the blink of an eye

After a brief rest, Yang Ling gathered all the horned wasps and evil eyes, weaving through the dense forest in search of the next prey's trail

At the moment the two-horned deer lowered its head, Yang Ling issued an order, and the poised evil eyes sprang into action. In an instant, after a barrage of dense light projectiles, the two-horned deer was covered in countless bullet holes, twitching a few times before lying motionless on the ground
