Beastmaster

The cave was pitch black, without any light at all. The few people could only rely on the adaptability of their eyes to barely see some things.

Jing Cangming asked, "Teacher Zhong, can you light a fire?"

Zhong Ye Lin stopped and said, "Not for now. Animals living underground, whether they are ferocious beasts or war beasts, are very sensitive to light. So let's go down a little and leave the territory of the bloodthirsty pangolin first."

After hearing this, Jing Cangming had to give up. Several people slowly followed Zhong Yelin, like a mother pangolin leading her baby pangolin.

The interior of the cave is not very big, only about two meters high, but it is enough to accommodate several people.

The roads in the cave are complicated, like a spider web, and it is difficult to find the direction. If you are not careful, you will get lost and go back to your previous position.

At this time, several people, led by Zhong Yelin, had come to this location for the third time.

Zhong Yelin was also helpless. This was his first time exploring this place.

At this moment, a cry for help came from the cave on the right side of where they were.

Several people were stunned, "Is there anyone else besides us?" Zhong Yelin muttered.

Jing Cangming said, "Teacher, should we go over and take a look?"

Yan Yuxiao held Jing Cangming's hand tightly, and it could be seen that she was a little scared.

Zhan Yongyi's adaptability and ability to withstand pressure are really strong. He is always calm no matter what the circumstances.

Tu Li said weakly, "Teacher Zhong, I think we should not go over there."

Several people looked at Tu Li.

Tu Li said quickly, "It's not that I don't want to save people. Where do you think this is? This is the ruins of the Black Forest. Apart from the people from the School of All Beasts, who else has the courage to come here? Moreover, could the members of the other two groups know in advance that there are ruins like us? Have they come straight here since entering the Black Forest?"

After hearing Tu Li's words, several people were obviously stunned. Tu Li was right. The other two teams didn't know there were ruins here, so it was even more impossible for them to go straight in here like they did.

Zhong Yelin didn't say anything, but was thinking.

Suddenly, Zhong Yelin said, "Let's go!"

After Zhong Yelin finished speaking, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the cry for help. The children couldn't help but follow him closely.

After running for a long time, I gradually could no longer hear the cries for help.

Zhong Yelin sat on the ground, and several people held their knees and gasped for breath.

Jing Cangming frowned, "Teacher Zhong, what happened to you? Why did you run away suddenly?"

Several other people also looked at him with curiosity.

Zhong Yelin said, "That cry for help! It's not human at all!"

"Ah?" Everyone was obviously a little bit unbelievable.

Zhong Yelin continued, "Rumor has it that there is a ferocious beast that is cunning by nature and uses cries for help to attract prey. But if this beast calls for help in human language, it proves that it already knows that there are humans in the cave, which means we have been discovered."

"Then, what should we do?" Yan Yuxiao asked nervously.

Zhong Yelin said, "We have to keep running. Since the ferocious beast can appear in the bloodthirsty pangolin's territory, it means that the bloodthirsty pangolin has been eaten by it. Now, this is its territory and we must leave quickly."

Tu Li said, "Teacher Zhong, are you unable to defeat him with your strength?"

Zhong Ye Lin shook his head. "This kind of ferocious beast will only leave the group when it reaches level 70, and the cry for help just now was obviously from one beast. So, I conclude that it must be above level 70, and its strength is comparable to that of humans and war beasts at level 80. If we engage in battle, I can only delay it, but I definitely cannot defeat it."

"We are so unlucky that we have to encounter a ferocious beast of this strength," Zhan Yongyi said.

Zhong Yelin said, "It's very strange. The Black Forest is not a place where such ferocious beasts are distributed, but now this ferocious beast appears here. There must be something wrong."

"Teacher Zhong, let's leave quickly," Yan Yuxiao said.

Zhong Ye Lin nodded and stood up. This was indeed not the right issue to consider now. The problem was how to leave here safely.

Zhong Ye Lin was speechless. He had originally thought that with his own strength, he would be able to explore the ruins this time. Even if there were a few high-level ferocious beasts in the Black Forest, he would not encounter them. But now it seems that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Zhong Yelin continued to grope forward with a few people.

But the further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong, because the cry for help could be heard faintly in the ears of several people.

The voice was extremely miserable, and it was a woman's voice, sounding like the soul of someone who had died tragically.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder. Now they were in deep water and couldn't even send out a distress signal.

Moreover, the cave was too small, and no one could summon their war beasts.

At this moment, a cry for help was heard again, but now the voice seemed to be right next to him.

Zhong Yelin shouted quickly, "Get down!"

With a loud bang, a gap was created in the wall of the cave.

The air was filled with smoke and dust, which covered everyone like a quilt, making them look dusty.

Zhong Yelin coughed twice and spat out the dirt in his mouth, "Run!"

Several children stood up and started to run, but when they saw the scene in front of them, they stopped moving. Even someone as strong as Jing Cangming became weak in the legs after seeing this scene.

A spider was standing at the hole that was just created. The upper body of the spider was that of a human, and the lower body was that of a spider.

This spider also has a human face, but it has eight eyes and two fangs exposed at the corners of its mouth. The most terrifying thing is that it has a white arm in its mouth.

Seeing this, Zhong Yelin hurriedly shouted again, "Run!"

Now everyone came to their senses. Jing Cangming hurriedly pulled Yan Yuxiao up, and ran towards Zhong Yelin together with Zhan Yongyi and Tu Li.

But strangely, the ferocious beast did not chase forward, but stood there and giggled.

However, this smile is indeed a bit creepy.

Zhong Yelin let a few children run in front and he followed behind.

The giggling sound became farther and farther away until it disappeared. None of the people stopped, but continued to run forward like crazy.

When encountering a fork in the road, Zhong Yelin told everyone which way to run.

There was light at the intersection ahead, and Zhong Yelin shouted, "Run to the light!"

Several people stared firmly at the glowing hole in front of them and ran towards it like crazy.

Whoosh~ Everyone walked out of the cave, and heard the sound of wind whistling in front of them.

Several people held their knees and gasped for breath, and Zhong Yelin did the same.

After a moment, everyone looked up, and the scene before them shocked them all.

There is a huge open space here, and above the head there are some colorful unidentified glowing objects, shining a ray of light into the cave.

There were many large and small bones scattered on the ground, some of which were animals and some were human.

Around the walls, there are many cocoons wrapped in spider silk, and there seems to be life struggling inside.

Several people looked up at the scene before them.

Jing Cangming said stupidly, "Teacher Zhong, we didn't accidentally break into someone's cave, did we?"

Zhong Ye Lin said, "Hurry up, let's leave quickly."

But it was too late now. At the entrance of the cave they had just passed through, there stood the spider with a human body.

The spider had a creepy smile on its face, still chewing the white arm in its mouth, and its eight legs moved forward rhythmically.

Seeing this, Zhong Yelin and others could only retreat.

Several children looked around to see if there were any other ways to escape.

But the situation is obviously not very optimistic. The only way out of the cave is the same as the way they came in.

Zhong Yelin opened his arms and stepped back, holding the children firmly behind him, like a hen protecting her children.

It was not until the spider walked into the cave that Zhong Yelin and the others stopped, keeping the same distance.

Zhong Yelin said tentatively, "Sir Fierce Beast! We didn't know this was your territory, and we didn't mean to break in. Can you please let us leave after class?"

To be honest, even a beast general as strong as Zhong Yelin couldn't help but feel scared when faced with a life-threatening situation.

The spider didn't respond. It was unclear whether it didn't understand or didn't want to communicate with him.

At this time, the spider did not continue to move forward. It put its left hand on its waist and stretched its right hand to its mouth, holding the white arm that seemed to be rejected.

Then he pointed his arm at Zhong Yelin and others.

Zhong Yelin immediately prepared for battle, and so did Jing Cangming and others.

But at this time the ferocious beast spoke, "You...you all, all...stay."

Everyone was surprised that this ferocious beast could actually speak human language. Before, Zhong Yelin tried to communicate in the language of all animals, but the other party actually stammered out human words.

A few children were just surprised, but Zhong Yelin's expression at this moment was one of horror.

Zhong Yelin said, "I'll take it off later, and you guys run away immediately!"

Several children refused, "No! Let's go together!"

Zhong Yelin said, "We can't contend with this guy. Do you know why he can speak human language?"

Several people shook their heads.

Zhong Yelin said, "Because it eats a lot of people!"

When everyone heard this, their surprise turned into horror.

Several people couldn't help but look around and see the spider cocoons still wriggling on the wall.

Some of those spider silk cocoons are several meters large, while others are only one or two meters long.

Yan Yuxiao couldn't help but ask, "Cang Ming, do you think there are people in those cocoons?"

Yan Yuxiao's voice was obviously trembling, and after hearing her question, several boys couldn't help but tremble as well.

They were all a group of thirteen-year-old kids. Who had ever seen such a scene?

Zhong Yelin said, "Remember, after you run away, return to the academy immediately and ask Master Ling to save me if I die."

Having said this, Zhong Yelin fell silent.

Jing Cangming and the others rushed up and hugged Zhong Yelin with tears in their eyes.

"Teacher Zhong, don't talk nonsense, we will definitely be able to go back alive", "Yes, Teacher Zhong, we will be alive", "Let's go together".

Zhong Yelin pushed them away and said with tears in his eyes, "Do you know why I must come to explore this place?"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhong Ye Lin continued, "Because my sister disappeared here that year, I didn't know whether she was dead or alive, so I wanted to come and take a look. I thought that with my strength, I could protect you and fulfill my wish, but I still overestimated myself." Zhong Ye Lin smiled bitterly when he said this.

"But even if I die, I must let you get out alive. I'm sorry, kids, it's my fault that I failed to protect you," Zhong Yelin said as tears rolled down his cheeks.

But there was still a guilty smile on his face.

No one said anything, but Yan Yuxiao said, "Teacher Zhong, don't say that. Didn't we come here together? Of course we have to leave together!"

Yan Yuxiao's voice was trembling with tears, but she still spoke with a smile.

Jing Cangming's eyes became sharp at this moment, as if he had made a decision.

"Teacher Zhong, I have a way to hold it back, but it only lasts five minutes. Run as fast as you can in these five minutes!"

Zhong Yelin was a little surprised, then quickly laughed and said, "Haha, Cang Ming, remember, if I die, you have to become strong and avenge me!"

Zhong Yelin said this with a smile, then swung his hand with the world ring and immediately summoned a black gold long sword from it.

The blade continued to emit a black halo, and then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the spider.

The spider also smiled at this time, "It seems...it seems...you...have finished saying...goodbye..."

If it wasn't a matter of life and death, Jing Cangming might have thought that this spider was quite humane and gave them time to say goodbye...

After saying that, the spider spit out silvery-white spider silk from its mouth and instantly attacked Zhong Yelin.

Zhong Yelin quickly took the black gold long sword and chopped.

But the spider silk seemed to be impossible to cut. With every cut, the spider silk would bend along with the blade, and then quickly straighten out, dissolving Zhong Yelin's attack.

Zhong Yelin turned around and shouted, "What are you waiting for! Run!"

Jing Cangming said in a deep voice, "Run!"

Then he took Yan Yuxiao's arm and ran towards the hole behind the spider with Zhan Yongyi and Tu Li.

But at this time the spider shot out spider silk from behind, trying to seal the entrance of the hole.

But Zhong Yelin was a level 77 Beast Saint after all, so he immediately used his teleportation to move in front of the spider silk and used his body to block it.

The spider silk instantly wrapped Zhong Yelin.

"Teacher Zhong!" Several children shouted, but did not stop.

At this moment, the cocoon expanded instantly, and even opened up several cracks, emitting a sea-blue light from the cracks.

With a bang, the spider silk cocoon exploded and Zhong Yelin slowly walked out of it.

At this time, Zhong Yelin had already entered a state of being possessed by a war beast.

The whole person was wearing blue armor, and there were four blue crab legs extending from each side of the helmet.

The whole person has a strong ocean scent.

It is not difficult to see that Zhong Yelin and the Four Seas Tide Crab have entered a state of being possessed by a war beast.

Zhong Yelin waved the black-gold long sword in his hand, and the long sword was instantly retracted into the world ring.

Then he clenched his hands into a fist, and a pair of crab claw-shaped blue gloves appeared on his hands.
