The escape began!
Fierce beasts pursued them madly from behind.
Zhang Yang and his group fled frantically ahead.
But!
The road had an end.
Zhang Yang, fleeing, soon had nowhere to escape. The end of the bluestone path was a steep cliff!
No retreat!
"Roar!"
The fierce beasts paid no heed, surging forward and tearing at Zhang Yang.
Seeing this.
The giant crocodile roared to protect Zhang Yang, crushing the first two fierce beasts instantly!
It began a frenzied counterattack!
Although the giant crocodile's strength was not weaker than any fierce beast.
Yet, tens of thousands of fierce beasts, as if their eyes were bloodshot, charged forward relentlessly.
In no time, the giant crocodile was wounded.
Zhang Yang and the other tribesmen, like Chi Yan, were not faring any better.
Even with their many methods, they struggled, each bearing wounds and looking strained.
At this moment.
Many fierce beast corpses were piled before them.
But the fierce beast tide, like a flood, kept surging!
"We need to find a way. We can't go on like this, or we'll be worn down and killed by these fierce beasts!" Zhang Yang frowned.
"Clan Leader Chi Yan, do you have any good ideas for dealing with the fierce beasts?"
Chi Yan shook his head, helpless.
Although they often hunted the fierce beasts in the canyon.
This was their first time facing such a large-scale onslaught, and they had no solution.
Zhang Yang's heart sank.
In this situation, they could only attempt to break through!
Immediately.
With determined eyes, he picked up the crystal coffin and charged into the beast horde.
White light flickered from the crystal coffin. Zhang Yang, like a god of war, instantly overturned three fierce beasts before him.
But before he could use the crystal coffin to absorb the beasts' energy, the beasts behind them pounced.
Chi Yan's tribesmen also suffered casualties, and many of their spears were broken.
Clearly.
This battle surpassed their imagination.
The word "tragic" was no longer enough to describe it!
Seeing this.
The crystal head's demonic eyes flickered incessantly.
Fixing its gaze on the crystal coffin in Zhang Yang's hand, it revealed a hint of greed.
"Heh heh, humble ants, you forced this upon yourselves!"
"Originally, I planned to proceed cautiously, but you forced me to fight with my back against the wall. Since that's the case, then accept my roar of fury!"
"..."
Instantly.
The crystal head began to chant again.
This chanting was visibly tangible.
Sound waves, wave after wave, the light on the crystal head dimmed as it chanted.
Clearly, the crystal head had also expended considerable energy.
But the benefits of the chanting were immense!
The overall strength of the fierce beasts, infected by the chanting, instantly increased by a level.
The fierce beasts felt no pain and charged forward madly.
This put immense pressure on Zhang Yang and the others!
This was not all!
Most importantly, Chi Yan's tribesmen also began to react wildly.
*Splurt!*
Some tribesmen's pupils turned red.
Their spears no longer aimed at the fierce beasts but at their companions.
"You! Ah Tai, how could you..."
"Jie jie jie, hei hei hei!"
Ah Tai seemed possessed, feeling no pain. He pulled out his spear and thrust it again, ending his companion's life.
This situation was not isolated.
It was widespread!
Except for Chi Yan, the entire tribe fell into a frenzy and began to slaughter each other!
Chi Yan panicked at the sight and quickly shouted to stop them!
"Snap out of it, all of you! What are you doing! Wake up, you're bewitched!"
Chi Yan shouted loudly.
But!
The crystal head's chanting continued, and Chi Yan's shouts were in vain.
He could only watch helplessly as his tribesmen killed each other, with continuous casualties.
Seeing this.
Chi Yan roared.
"Zhang Yang! The one who tied the bell must untie it! Smash this damned head, and everything should be resolved! I'll block the fierce beasts for you, you go deal with the crystal head!"
Zhang Yang, trapped in the encirclement, immediately understood. After a head-on collision with a rhinoceros before him, he quickly retreated.
Then, Chi Yan took Zhang Yang's place and moved forward.
Freed, Zhang Yang quickly ran to the crystal head.
"You damned thing, shatter!"
Zhang Yang roared, and the crystal coffin slammed down.
"Jie jie jie!"
The crystal head let out a sinister laugh.
The sonic wave attack, condensed from its chanting, quickly blocked the crystal coffin.
At the same time.
The fierce beasts that Zhang Yang and the others had just slain instantly turned into nothingness and were completely refined.
A surge of powerful energy was transferred to the crystal head, providing it with a continuous supply of power.
*Bang bang bang!*
Zhang Yang's pupils trembled at the sight. He hadn't expected the crystal head to have such a move.
"Damn it, I can't even touch it!" Zhang Yang was anxious but helpless.
For the first time, he felt so powerless!
The next moment, Zhang Yang's scalp tingled.
"Human, I've seen you in the Far West. You've ruined my plans twice already. This time, you will die!"
The crystal head said sinisterly.
As the words fell, before Zhang Yang could react, the crystal head suddenly enlarged and swallowed Zhang Yang and the crystal coffin!
Instantly.
Zhang Yang felt himself plunged into darkness.
A deafening chant echoed in his ears, his will was constantly ravaged, and one of his eyes turned blood red!
"Master!"
"Zhang Yang!"
Seeing this, the giant crocodile and Chi Yan cried out simultaneously.
Chi Yan was unable to break free to save Zhang Yang.
The giant crocodile, however, disregarded everything. It swept its tail and quickly moved to the crystal head, intending to smash it.
But!
The crystal head was too hard to be smashed!
"Hmph! A mere crawling insect dares to challenge me! Die!"
Two beams of light shot from the crystal head's pupils, instantly piercing the giant crocodile's body.
*Bang!*
The giant crocodile, covered in blood, lay on the ground, writhing in pain.
But it still didn't give up trying to save Zhang Yang, struggling to get up and walk towards the crystal head.
"You damned head, I'll bite you to pieces!" the giant crocodile gritted its teeth and charged again.
But the result was the same as before, its body pierced by two more holes.
Repeatedly.
The giant crocodile's body was riddled with holes, and it could no longer stand.
And Chi Yan's tribesmen were already dead or severely wounded!
Only Chi Yan remained, struggling desperately!
Seeing this.
The crystal head laughed.
"Jie jie jie, you should be proud to have forced me to fight with all my might."
"Now then... perish!"
As the words fell, the crystal head's chanting intensified.
The fierce beasts that had been surrounding Chi Yan, in addition to attacking him, also began to slaughter each other.
Soon.
The entire land was covered in corpses, and Chi Yan was on the verge of death, his eyes filled with unwillingness as he stared at the crystal head.
"We lost."
"I never thought we would still lose. I have failed the lineage of tomb keepers!"
Chi Yan watched the crystal head refine these fierce beasts, tears of unwillingness streaming down his cheeks.
