Chapter 372: Prelude to Danger

The adventurers standing on the tree branch all breathed a sigh of relief. Barnard wiped a cold sweat in his heart. If he had not ordered to retreat to the tree just now but chose to fight against the beast group, I really don't know how many players he would have to lose to defeat this group of silver-spotted leopard wolf beasts.

Although the danger has passed, there is a layer of doubt in Han Fei's heart. The adventurers did not cover up their whereabouts. These silver-spotted leopard wolf beasts definitely discovered them. But except for the silver-spotted leopard wolf beast that just now made a jump attack, the other wolf beasts completely ignored everyone's existence and just ran away, not like they were migrating but rather like they were running for the death!

Han Fei raised his head and found that the green eyes of the Bingyue Priestess standing opposite him were also flashing with doubt. He obviously also noticed something strange.

At this moment, her expression returned to her original coldness. Seeing Han Fei's gaze swept over, she said coldly: "Thank you for your help, Bingyue will remember it!"

The last few words slightly increased their tone, and they were somewhat gritting their teeth. Han Fei smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on her willow waist. Unfortunately, because the priest's robe blocked his graceful figure, if he hadn't experienced it with his own hands, he would probably not have understood the beauty.

Feeling Han Fei's malicious gaze, two blushings suddenly appeared on Bing Yue's pretty face. She immediately turned around and stopped facing Han Fei, and finally avoided the embarrassment.

"Don't go down first, wait!" Barnard, who was standing on another tree, said in a deep voice: "I feel something is wrong!"

Many experienced adventurers who have been walking on the edge of life and death have direct perception of danger. A little bit of strangeness can make them feel that danger is approaching. This intuition helps adventurers in many cases saves their own and their team's fate.

Not only Barnard, Han Fei also felt that the danger was not far away with the beasts leaving. Many footsteps of varying degrees were coming towards him. The air was filled with a dangerous and uneasy aura, and the earth was trembling slightly.

"Group of beasts, a large number of beasts!" An adventurer exclaimed.

Boom! Boom!

Following the pace of the silver-spotted leopard wolf beast, under the noses of the adventurers, a large number of wild beasts and spirit beasts were running by. No one knew where they emerged, but these wild beasts and spirit beasts were not the same group, bears, tigers, leopards, rhinos... and all kinds of monsters that Han Fei could not name were crowded together and fled in panic, as if there was something extremely terrible behind them chasing them!

"The fourth-level red flame tiger, the third-level iron-horned rhino, the third-level purple-patterned green-eyed leopard... Oh my God, how could there be so many spiritual beasts!"

Such a scene made the adventurers stunned. The priestess of Bingyue, who didn't want to stay with Han Fei for a second, couldn't help but open his eyes wide and murmured: "Beast Tide, is this the beast Tide on Blue Whale Island?"

The beast tide on Blue Whale Island is quite famous. Anyone who knows about this giant island basically knows that every few years, large-scale spirit beasts will attack the residents of the island from forests. Because the number of spirit beasts is extremely large and the attacks are one after another, it is vividly called the beast tide.

No one can give an accurate explanation for the reason for the outbreak of the beast tide, but once it erupts, it is a serious threat to the sea tribes who settle on the island. At this time, adventurers of other races have a place to use their skills.

For adventurers, the outbreak of beast tide is not a bad thing. They usually receive high prices from the sea clan to encircle and suppress the top spirit beasts. In addition to the generous commission, hunting spirit beasts to obtain spoils is also a considerable income.

"It's not a beast tide. The last beast tide has exploded less than two years. It's impossible to reappear in such a short time!" Barnard, who had been on the island for twenty years, denied the priestess' speculation: "It seems that a high-level spirit beast broke into the territory of these spirit beasts, forcing them to run away!"

Barnard's analysis was undoubtedly very reasonable. He stared at the forest ahead, and the anxiety in his eyes became heavier and heavier: "I'm afraid we have to change our route!"

The direction where those spirit beasts surged out was the route for the adventurers' team to move forward - the Chitra Mountains. If there was really a powerful spirit beast entrenched there, the group of people continued to rush forward in a daze was undoubtedly the stupidest choice, and changing the route was the only choice.

However, changing the route in this vast forest is definitely not an easy and easy thing. Although Barnard has a map in hand, it is completely different to open up a new route.

Han Fei's heart moved. Hearing the priestess' words, he obviously did not know more about Blue Whale Island than himself, otherwise he would not have known the time of the last beast tide. It is very likely that the other party also came to the island recently. He is not a veteran adventurer and seems to have many secrets.

Of course, Han Fei was unintentionally exploring the other party's secrets. He could not join this team to be familiar with the situation on the island so as to accumulate experience for future experience and exploration. It was the first time he formed a team with the Tianling tribe.

Everyone waited on the tree for almost half an hour, and then they came down from the tree after confirming that there would be no more beasts passing by. This time the priestess did not ask for help. She blessed herself with a feather fall technique and gently jumped down from the tree, gracefully just like an elves landing in the mortal world. Two swordsmen immediately guarded her.

The team's temporary camp has been ruined by the beasts that have passed by continuously, and there is no big loss. However, at least half of the tents cannot be used anymore. If you do not return to Pearl Harbor to replenish supplies, many people will not have tents available or will slept with others in the future.

However, no one paid attention to this small problem. Although the development is not good, no one will plan to return to Pearl Harbor. Retreat immediately when encountering difficulties and dangers is definitely not a qualified adventurer, unless he intends to withdraw from the team.

But the luckiest thing is that the thick-footed beasts and the supplies they carry are not lost. They are tied to the other side. Although they are greatly disturbed, their strength is not enough to break free from the extremely tough reins of the beast tendons. Otherwise, the adventure team would have to return to Pearl Harbor in shame and buy supplies again.

"The route we took should be relatively safe, avoiding the main activity territory of the most dangerous seventh-level spirit beast Chitra Griffon in the Chitra Mountains..." Under the light of the spirit crystal light, Barnard pointed to a red route on the map and said: "Our current location should be here, the western edge of the Chitra Mountains. But now there is such an accident. My suggestion is that we will take a detour from here for a distance of about two days, and avoid dangerous areas as much as possible. What do you think?"

"Captain Barnard, we are still unable to determine whether there are really powerful spirit beasts ahead. Is it appropriate to change the route in a hurry?" The archer of the Tianling Clan objected: "The forests on Blue Whale Island often have fog, which can easily make people lose their direction. Once we leave the safe route..."

This archer is a man of the Tianling tribe in his twenties, with extremely handsome silver hair and green eyes. He has a very close relationship with his two mages and archer companions, which often makes many barbarian warriors jealous and hot-hearted.

When expressing his opinion, his eyes fell on the priestess of Bingyue intentionally or unintentionally, and a hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he was very interested in this beautiful woman of the same clan.

But Bingyue ignored him directly, her eyes coldly with a hint of disgust.

Among the Tianling Clan, the status of women is greater than that of men, and their supreme rulers have always been queens, but the number of men is far less than that of women. Therefore, polygamy is normal in the Tianling Clan, but their status will never change due to the number of wives.

"Hisser Gambel, please believe my judgment. Those spirit beasts just now will never escape from their territory for no reason unless they encounter an irresistible opponent..." Barnard was obviously not very polite to him, and said bluntly: "We cannot send scouts to take risks to explore. That is irresponsible to his life, as for losing direction..."

The barbarian warrior said proudly: "I have lived on Blue Whale Island for twenty years and have not lost my way in the forest!"

While refuting the other party, Barnard stared at the female mage, obviously knowing who was useful to speak. Sure enough, the female mage nodded and said, "Gambar, listen to Barnard!"

Ganber immediately lowered his head. Although he had two beautiful female companions at the same time, this did not mean that he had the right to speak.

Several barbarian warriors laughed twitchingly. The barbarians happened to be the opposite of the Tianling tribe. Women were basically vassals of men. It was a shameful sign of cowardice for their wives.

"Then it's decided!" Barnard took a picture of the map and said, "It's no longer safe here. We'll find a safe place to camp for a while. We need to take turns on duty at night. We'll hurry up early tomorrow morning!"

No one raised any objections. Everyone packed their luggage and rode on the heavy beasts with thick feet. Under the cover of night, they headed towards the Chitra Mountains, but deviated from the original route.

After such an accident, the forest became much quieter. The roars that had been heard one after another almost disappeared. Only the night wind brought a few shrill howls from afar, adding a bit of a quiet, cold and terrifying atmosphere.
