Ultimately, the Blazing Fire War General, Li Yan, was the first to speak.
Watching the director Lin, who was flushed with anger, he asked, "Director Lin, what exactly happened?"
"Alas, just take a look yourselves!"
"These beasts must be exterminated, or the Great Prairie will never know peace. Who knows how many more compatriots will die tragically!"
Director Lin raised his eyes, sighed deeply, and handed over a video.
Subsequently, the ten war generals took turns watching it.
"These beasts deserve the worst!"
"I’ll slaughter them all, even if it kills me!"
As expected, after watching it, each of the ten war generals was filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent, wishing to immediately rush to the prairie and exterminate the Golden Eagle Race.
After a while, at Director Lin’s signal, everyone quieted down.
"Gentlemen, time is of the essence. The Great Qin Empire needs you!"
Director Lin solemnly scanned the crowd with a serious expression.
"Director Lin, please give the order!"
The war generals understood the situation, knowing that a mission was forthcoming.
"Li Yan, you will lead the team this time, heading to the Great Prairie to eliminate the scourge and annihilate the Golden Eagle Race for our Great Qin Empire."
"This operation shall be named ’Operation Eagle Hunt’!"
Director Lin looked at the foremost war general, Li Yan.
"I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
Li Yan promptly rose, saluted, and shouted loudly.
Although Wulong Mountain teemed with poisonous insects, snakes, and ants, the Spiritual Qi within the mountain was among the best in the West Spirit City area, naturally nurturing a large number of spiritual objects.
Lately, quite a few extraordinary individuals from West Spirit City dared to venture into the mountains to seek spiritual objects.
Currently, on the outskirts of Wulong Mountain, a team of extraordinary individuals from West Spirit City, fully armed, cautiously advanced into the mountain.
They numbered twelve in total, all first-tier extraordinaries, wielding weapons and vigilantly observing their surroundings to prevent sudden attacks by fierce beasts.
"Captain, it’s said that the Black Demon Tiger used to hide in Wulong Mountain and even clashed with the Qin Army. Will we be in danger?"
In the middle of the team, a thin young man nervously scanned the surroundings and shouted to the burly leader at the front.
"Rest assured, that beast left long ago. Otherwise, who would dare come to Wulong Mountain!"
The leader gestured at them, explaining, and then said in a deep voice, "Nevertheless, everyone should be cautious.
Although the Black Demon Tiger King is no longer here, the poisonous insects and beasts are plentiful. A bite could leave you either dead or crippled!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, their expressions more solemn and their movements more careful.
"This is... a Spirit Absorbing Mushroom!"
At this moment, a crew-cut young man exclaimed with surprise, and he ran joyfully toward a tree’s base nearby.
Beneath a three-person-wide pine tree were several black roots, as thick as arms.
At the top of the roots grew three white mushrooms of different sizes, glimmering with spiritual light.
The Spirit Absorbing Mushroom, a first-tier spirit plant, can be directly consumed to increase an extraordinary individual’s total spiritual power, enhancing their cultivation and strength.
Seeing the man’s reckless behavior, the burly leader tensed up and prepared to scold him.
But at that very moment.
A streak of blood-red light shot out from the forest, swiftly passing through the crew-cut young man.
The next second, the young man shriveled up like a punctured balloon, his body instantaneously withering, and his bones, along with his clothes and equipment, fell to the ground.
The group was stunned by this scene, unable to comprehend what turned their teammate into a heap of dried bones right before their eyes.
It was naturally Fang Yuan who released the Bloodthirsty Gu.
Since Fang Yuan had advanced to the third tier, the Bloodthirsty Gu’s power had simultaneously increased.
Now it could drain all the Blood Qi from these first-tier extraordinaries in less than a second.
The Bloodthirsty Gu charged at the crowd again.
"Watch out! Dodge quickly!"
The moment the creature appeared, everyone knew they were no match, so they immediately chose to flee, without the slightest intent to resist.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the situation. How could the weak first-tier extraordinaries outrun the third-tier Bloodthirsty Gu?
In the blink of an eye, the furthest three extraordinaries were drained of their Blood Qi by the Bloodthirsty Gu and met their fate.
In an instant, the others who were still running halted, their faces filled with fear!
Too fast! It’s too fast!
"Damn it, stop running, everyone! Don’t give this monster the chance to pick us off one by one."
The middle-aged leader shouted fiercely.
Although terrified, they had no choice but to gather around the leader in an attempt to survive.
After devouring the Blood Qi, the Bloodthirsty Gu quickly turned back, charging at the crowd once more! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ⓝovelFire.net
In the blink of an eye, it was upon them.
"Attack together! Fight for our lives, or we’ll die here!"
The leader, eyes red with rage, shouted and his body was covered with rocks, transforming into a stone giant. His massive fist, the size of a millstone, hurled at the incoming Bloodthirsty Gu.
The others, driven by the threat of death, also gave it their all, unleashing fierce Molten Lava Fireballs, sharp Golden Light Blades, and biting Thunder Ropes...
Unfortunately, these attacks were like a scratch to the Bloodthirsty Gu’s blood-colored shell, having no effect.
The Bloodthirsty Gu charged forward, breaking through the attacks, piercing through the stone giant in an instant.
As a painful cry echoed, the leader turned into a pile of bones.
Then, the Bloodthirsty Gu plunged into the crowd behind, slaughtering wildly, its blood-colored light shining ruthlessly.
"Beast, I’m taking you down with me!"
Instantly, cries of agony and curses echoed through the forest!
Moments later, the forest returned to silence. Where once there were vibrant lives, now only piles of skeletal remains lay upon the ground.
Of the twelve in the squad, only one thin young man remained, trembling in the middle of the bone pile, nearly paralyzed with fear.
Faced with the approaching Bloodthirsty Gu, he fell to the ground, raising his hands defensively, shouting in terror.
The Bloodthirsty Gu actually stopped, refraining from delivering the final blow, and instead, its form suddenly shot into the distant forest.
In the shadows of the forest, a massive black figure emerged.
Fang Yuan slowly approached the thin young man, exuding a menacing aura.
Death did not come; puzzled, the young man opened his eyes and, upon seeing Fang Yuan, exclaimed.
"Black Demon Tiger King!"
The young man’s face contorted with fear, pushing himself backward with his hands.
"Hmph! Become my puppet!"
Fang Yuan sneered inwardly, releasing the Soul-controlling Gu.
The Soul-Catching Gu shot out, enveloped in black mist.
A grain-sized miniature version of the Soul-Catching Gu emerged from the dark mist, penetrating the young man’s brain in the blink of an eye.
The once terrified young man’s eyes changed, becoming calm.
He slowly got up, approached Fang Yuan, knelt on one knee, and said reverently, "Subordinate Wang He, greets the master!"
