1428 Counter-hun (1/2)

Most of the people there were Lu Changwei's friends.

Lu Changwei though, was useless at this critical moment, and the Chen Xiaobei they had been against the entire time, stepped up to the plate and saved them from a desperate crisis.

Any person with a conscience would thank Chen Xiaobei from the bottom of their hearts for saving them.

From this moment onwards, even though Lu Changwei still held onto a grudge, most of the people no longer saw Chen Xiaobei as the enemy.

In other words, if they still had animosity towards Chen Xiaobei, then that would mean that they were ungrateful beings that were lesser than animals.

Of course, at this very moment, no one had dared express hostility towards Chen Xiaobei. Even if they wished to plot against him, they would have to do it clandestinely.

”Alright! Everyone! Enough nonsense!” Chen Xiaobei raised his arm. ”This wave of Beast Horde has been defeated but the Demonic Beasts seemed to have a bigger plan in mind! We'd better return to the safe zone!”

Of course, everyone agreed to this suggestion.

The area outside the safe zone was just too dangerous. They could not stay there any longer.

They paid no attention to Ximen Dingjun and Old Meng.

After all, Old Meng's cultivation was equivalent to a demigod. If it was within his capability, he could rescue Ximen Dingjun. But if it wasn't and even if the people wanted to help, they could do nothing.

The people began to move in the direction of the safe zone.

The old Overgrown Forest Capital City.

A raven with feathers as dark as night and as big as an eagle glided into the giant stone pyramid.

”Who let you in? Where is General Spriceros?”

In the darkness, a stern voice spoke, causing the whole place to tremble.

”I'm here to report… report on… General Spiriceros's current condition … he… he…” it seemed that it was the black raven's first time inside the pyramid. It was so frightened by the Tyrant Dragon King's presence that it was stuttering, barely able to speak.

”What nonsense! Can't you speak properly?” Tyrant Dragon King boomed impatiently. ”You don't need to tell me! I know that General Spiriceros has won! He's my favorite, and most trusted lieutenant. All these years, he has been able to execute all the tasks I've given him perfectly! I don't have to worry about anything when he's in charge!”

Tyrant Dragon King sounded very confident. He clearly regarded the Crystal-Armor Rhinoceros highly, and trusted him.

The Tyrant Dragon King believed that his favorite lieutenant was able to take care of this business flawlessly, and get the item that he wanted.

”No, General Spiriceros, he… did not win… He…” The raven was beginning to sweat; its heart feeling like it was going to explode.

”Did not win? How is that possible?” Tyrant Dragon King roared. ”Tell me everything or prepare to die!”

”Ye… yes, yes.” The raven took in a deep breath. ”General Spiriceros, he… he's dead! He and the 466 Demonic Beasts he had with him are gone!”

”What?!” The Tyrant Dragon King's sudden anger shook the ground and the stones began to shift; it was as if the pyramid was going to crumble.

”Don't be mad, your honor.” The raven wished it could fly far away now but its feet was glued to the ground, shivering in terror.

”Don't be mad?” The Tyrant Dragon King's tone was frosty. ”Those puny humans have trampled all over me! Am I not supposed to be angry? Should I wait for them to walk all over me and shit on my head?!”
