Chapter 149 The Fisherman Waits and Reaps (2/2)

Xiao Tianxuan’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly yelled, “Don’t be afraid! It’s already on the verge of death. Stop it quickly, we cannot let it escape!”

He could already see that the Wind Thunder Beast had escaped their encirclement, and was planning on fleeing.

However, his yells were of little use. Many had died, while the threat of death had already been thoroughly beaten into the rest.

Roar!

By borrowing this tiny gap, the Wind Thunder Beast’s enormous body suddenly shot forth, all the remaining Wind Thunder Genesis Qi swirling around its body as it transformed into a flash of green and black that dashed into the vast mountain range.

“Useless trash! All of you are useless trash!”

Xiao Tianxuan flew into a rage, no longer able restrain himself after seeing the Wind Thunder Beast escape. He had practically used up every trump card in his arsenal to hunt the Wind Thunder Beast, trump cards that would have allowed him to briefly vie with the super elite geniuses.

Moreover, the breath of extremely pure Genesis Qi from killing the grade 4 Wind Thunder Beast may have been his chance to reach the peak of the Heaven Gate stage, or even enable him to touch the Alpha-Origin.

Unfortunately, everything had gone up in flames.

Gu Ling arrived behind Xiao Tianxuan, a rather ugly look on her pretty face. They had paid such a steep price, but it had all been for naught.

Xiao Tianxuan roared at the Saint Remains squad members, “Idiots! Chase after it!”

In response, indignant looks appeared on the squad members’ faces. They had only chosen to join because of Xiao Tianxuan’s promise that he would be able to deal with the grade 4 Wind Thunder Beast, but look at how many had been injured or killed, they were practically using their lives in exchange for results.

“Humph, even if we do kill that Wind Thunder Beast, the first person to benefit would be you. Why should we pay for your benefits with our lives? This little lord will no longer stay in your Saint Remains squad!” One of the more irritable individuals coldly snorted, ignoring Xiao Tianxuan’s ugly expression as the former turned around and left.

Now that someone had taken the lead, more and more members left one after another. Of the Saint Remains squad’s originally grand line-up, only a few lonely figures remained.

This sight infuriated Xiao Tianxuan so much that he nearly blacked out and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Things had turned out very differently than he had expected.

He could not figure it out. Why had the originally stable situation slipped out of control so suddenly?

...

While Xiao Tianxuan was hopping with rage, Zhou Yuan’s figure quietly slipped deeper into the mountains, his gaze fixed towards a certain direction.

He knew that the heavily injured Wind Thunder Beast would definitely draw numerous coveting eyes. In fact, some of those originally watching from far away may even begin to entertain certain thoughts.

However, the Wind Thunder Beast was extremely quick. It would not be easy to find it again in the vast mountain range.

Even so, Zhou Yuan had made his preparations. When he moved earlier, he had secretly left behind some powder on the beast without anyone realising, allowing him to track it.

Hence, his pushed his speed to the limit as he dashed through mountain after mountain.

His chase lasted a whole four hours.

As the saying went, the heavens do not let down those who are determined. When Zhou Yuan arrived at the top of a certain hill and cast his gaze into the distance, he saw a familiar giant beast by the lakeside, weakly lying in a pool of blood.

This scene caused Zhou Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been relieved from his shoulders.

He had finally found it.
