An Shenyi put on a pair of iron wire-woven gloves.

"Yeye, let's get this straight, I'm running if things get too dangerous."

"Same here."

"Aba aba!"

On this issue, the three reached a rare consensus.

The four dismounted, and Fang Yue had Niu Niu lead the horses to the back to settle them.

There were three consecutive sounds like hammering iron.

Fang Yue's three knife strikes were accurately blocked by the Goat Shade Ghoul's hooves, as if striking iron blocks. The force of the rebound made Fang Yue's hands a little numb.

-1!

-1!

-1!

Three embarrassing damage numbers popped up, making Fang Yue's heart jump.

If he hadn't tanked one of this thing's attacks before, Fang Yue would have thought this thing was ridiculously strong when he saw this damage for the first time.

But in reality, its defense was just exceptionally high!

"Baa!!"

The Goat Shade Ghoul grinned wide and bleated, slamming a hoof at Fang Yue's chest.

Fang Yue dodged to the side.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The whistling, sharp wind pressure grazed his cheeks, leaving four fine, shallow cuts.

-1!

-1!

-1!

-1!

Mutual scratching?!

Without hesitation, Fang Yue grabbed the goat hoof and slashed again!

Clang!!

Unexpectedly, this strike didn't hit the hoof, but still produced a metallic clang.

-5!

...Defense broken.

Fang Yue was a little dazed. At this moment, the grabbed goat hoof swept over and struck Fang Yue's chest.

The terrifying monstrous force sent Fang Yue flying.

-42!

The damage wasn't high, but the force was immense. Fang Yue flew nearly a hundred meters before landing and rolling.

That was just a glancing blow from the side, not a direct hit from the goat hoof. If it had been a direct hit from a certain angle, he probably would have flown even further.

Fang Yue got up and quickly ran forward. Over there, An Shenyi had already engaged the Goat Shade Ghoul.

An Shenyi continuously struck the Goat Shade Ghoul with his fleshy palms.

-21!

-1!

-1!

-1!

-22!

-1!

-1!

-25!

-1!

-1!

-22!

The damage didn't seem high, but interspersed among these normal numbers, a large string of '-1' '-1' numbers rapidly jumped, as if it had been poisoned.

And when the Goat Shade Ghoul tried to attack An Shenyi, An Shenyi instantly became as nimble as a paper kite, moving with the wind and dodging the attacks with the current.

So strong!

An Shenyi is so strong!

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, he saw the Goat Shade Ghoul suddenly blur its hoof and directly press it onto An Shenyi's head.

Horror appeared in An Shenyi's pupils as the goat hoof pressed into his head inch by inch.

The scene paused for a moment, and then...

Thud!!

An Shenyi flew out, dragging along the ground, leaving a long trench!

By the time An Shenyi stopped, the area was filled with dust.

"An Shenyi!"

"An Shenyi!"

"Woof!"

Fang Yue and the blood hunter's voices rang out almost simultaneously. [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] Da Wang barked loudly, temporarily entangling the Goat Shade Ghoul.

Surprisingly, [Giant-Headed Bloodhound], despite its large size, was unexpectedly agile, tearing and barking, running back and forth, managing to hold back the Goat Shade Ghoul.

At this time, Fang Yue had already reached An Shenyi's side.

"An Shenyi! An Shenyi, are you alright!"

Fang Yue shouted, trying to help An Shenyi up from the ground, but saw An Shenyi with a pale face in the dust, frantically popping pills, his hands trembling.

Large bottles and small bottles of medicine were shoved into his mouth without regard for his life.

"I'm... alright..."

This method of consumption was even more ruthless than Fang Yue's last time. It seemed he wasn't afraid of dan poison exploding at all.

An Shenyi seemed to see through Fang Yue's thoughts and gave a wry smile.

"If I lose my life, I lose everything. I can handle the dan poison a little."

As he said this, Fang Yue noticed that An Shenyi's forehead was completely dented, as if a part of his skull had been pressed in. It looked quite scary.

The indented part was shaped exactly like a goat hoof, like a mark.

"Yeye, I can't go on. I told you, my combat power isn't good. I'm no match for it at all."

Seeing that Fang Yue wanted to help him back, An Shenyi shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing this, Fang Yue gritted his teeth: "Then you stay here and wait for me!"

"Okay."

Fang Yue didn't expect the Goat Shade Ghoul to be so strong. The prophecy on the sheepskin paper was just a few words, but in reality, a slight slack in this battle could mean the difference between life and death!

"Blood Fight!"

The blood hunter suddenly roared. Fang Yue looked forward and saw that [Giant-Headed Bloodhound] had been kicked away by a hoof at some point, crashing into a tree, whimpering and crying.

Compared to Fang Yue and An Shenyi, its combat environment was even worse—it used its sense of smell and hearing to judge the Goat Shade Ghoul's movements and position, making combat less natural than it was for Fang Yue and the others.

With two generals injured, Niu Niu stepped forward.

"Aba aba aba!"

Niu Niu charged forward with eight attribute points!

Niu Niu thrust his spear! He auto-attacked!

Ah! Niu Niu was knocked away!

Niu Niu crashed into a tree!

Niu Niu sent a message!

"Brother Ye... I'm seriously injured, help..."

Fang Yue: ...

Niu Niu is such a waste!

Fang Yue walked towards the Goat Shade Ghoul with a dark face.

"Your opponent is me!"

But the Goat Shade Ghoul ignored him and charged directly towards the nearest blood hunter.

It seemed that in its eyes, it had dealt with everyone except the blood hunter.

"Vice-Captain Ye! Save me!!"

The blood hunter's expression changed drastically. He didn't have much strength himself, relying on Ghoul Hunting to be ranked among the strong.

The blood hunter retreated violently, but the Goat Shade Ghoul caught up in an instant.

The goat hoof aimed directly at the blood hunter's back... Fang Yue, however, arrived first, rushing over and leaping high, falling heavily, and slashing at the goat hoof.

"Water Moon Swordplay!!"

Clang!!

With a loud bang, the goat hoof barely shifted its position downward.

-11!

Fang Yue's damage finally broke double digits, but it was useless.

The blood hunter took the opportunity to distance himself, while the Goat Shade Ghoul looked at Fang Yue with its black-blooded eyes.

The goat hoof blurred in an instant...

Thud!!

-111!

Without even time to react, Fang Yue flew out.

The surrounding scenery blurred, and his whole body shook uncontrollably, until—

With a bang.

-23!

Fang Yue crashed into the roots of a large tree, and the tree behind him cracked and broke, tilting downward.
