Di Fuyi turned and lunged towards the two ma.s.sive beasts.Gu Xijiu did not answer him but indulged herself in the comfort layer. It felt very soft and cozy. Some beasts surrounded her, but they could not get past the protective barrier. She was very safe within the circle; hence, she put her attention on him instead.
Like a tiger in a pack of wolves, he battled in full rage. In high spirits, he swung his sword in the air repeatedly to clear his path towards the ma.s.sive beasts. Any beasts that stood in his way were slaughtered.
They were not quite protective of their leaders. Soon enough, he got himself close enough to the beasts that he was aiming for. After a brief fight, the beasts laid by his feet, lifeless.
Di Fuyi thought that he could finally heave a sigh of relief since, after the death of the leaders, these little ones should retreat anytime.
He was worried about Gu Xijiu, so he quickly checked on her. There she was, standing in the circle. Her hands were pressing against the protective layer. Intensely, her eyes were focused on him. There was something strange about her expression, however. Her eyes were opened widely while her jaw was dropped, as if in awe. She was staring at something behind him.
Abruptly, Di Fuyi turned around, only to see a small, black beast standing next to the two lifeless bodies. The beast was two times smaller than the ma.s.sive ones, but the look in its eyes was very stern. Its eyes were purple while its cheeks were bulging in frustration. It let out a high-pitched growl.
Di Fuyi"s ears went momentarily deaf, but before he could react, other beasts started to launch their attacks in unison. Di Fuyi finally understood what went wrong. The ma.s.sive beasts that he had just killed were not the leaders. The leader was the little one.
The realization came too late. After noticing how brutal Di Fuyi was, the leader of the beasts decided to hide. It was well hidden amongst the members of the pack, so he could not see it anymore. At this critical moment, more than 100 beasts already surrounded Di Fuyi. The impact was unpleasantly overpowering. Moreover, it was challenging to find the small beast in this huge pack. The fight would be tougher from now on.
He took another quick glance at Gu Xijiu and saw her knocking on the protective layer, shouting desperately. Although he could not hear her, he could read her lips. She kept saying, "Let me out."
He s.h.i.+fted backward immediately. Soon, he was standing by her side. With a few quick swings, he chased away the beasts that surrounded the protective circle before unfolding the layer. "What is it?"
Gu Xijiu had always been crisp and authoritative. The moment he unfolded the layer, she grabbed his hand and demanded sternly, "Follow me!"
Di Fuyi"s eyes danced with merriment. He softened his voice. "All right; I will follow you." Obediently, he followed her closely. Gu Xijiu gave him a surprised look, for she had never expected that he would be submissive to her authority. However, she did not comment about it.
All of a sudden, she raised her head and made the same growl. The sound that she produced was almost similar to the guttural sound of the tiny, black beast. Soon, the black beast answered her call. It was about fifty meters away from them.
Its sound was easily recognizable. Others were hoa.r.s.e, while the black beast"s sound was sharper and gentler. The moment it made the sound, Gu Xijiu quickly teleported to where it was located, along with Di Fuyi. They almost ended up on its back.
She let go of his hand and said, "Kill it now!"
"Will do!" Swiftly, Di Fuyi swung his sword and aimed it towards the little black beast.
