In a remote mountainous area, the jungle was lush and verdant.
Without the Human Race's logging, everything appeared primitive and chaotic.
A group of humans and demons surged in.
Zhou You, Dog Fugui, Black Bear King, and Mountain Chicken King.
Behind Mountain Chicken King were ten roosters with vibrant feathers, each one massive in size. Perhaps knowing they were about to die, they seemed to lack any fighting spirit.
It was a common chicken sentiment, entirely understandable.
When killers become the killed, they often perform worse than those they previously killed.
Zhou You walked slowly forward; once this matter was over, he would have to make a run for it.
At that time, he would have the Earth Dog Clan scatter and hide everywhere.
As for Mountain Chicken King and Black Bear Winnie, they weren't deeply involved with them to begin with, so even if a Great Demon held them accountable, it wouldn't implicate them.
After crossing two mountain peaks, Mountain Chicken King quickened his pace, "Dog King, it's that mountain ahead; the Spirit Stone mine ruins are inside its belly."
His Right Hand pointed as far as it could in that direction.
Zhou You's eyes narrowed slightly; he could vaguely sense a powerful Qi lurking within, which he presumed was the Lion-Tiger Beast. "Proceed as planned."
Mountain Chicken King turned his head and clucked.
The ten chickens held the venom in their mouths and ran forward faster.
"The wind sighs, the water is cold, once the rooster goes, it never returns."
Zhou You couldn't help but sigh.
Mountain Chicken King was very unhappy, so he blurted out without thinking, "Don't pretend to be merciful; it's not like you eat any less."
After speaking, he immediately felt it was inappropriate and quickly prostrated himself on the ground.
Zhou You, however, was unmoved; this was the truth, after all.
Many people eat all kinds of meat, yet they insist on uttering a sanctimonious remark.
As if pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep aren't living beings.
As a person, control your mouth, spread your legs, and let everything be.
Black Bear Winnie whispered, "Dog King, is my physique not suitable for a sneak attack? Will it bring you unnecessary trouble?"
He looked eagerly at Zhou You, truly hoping the other party would find him in the way and send him away.
Even if he beat him half to death, then called him a coward, and then sent him away?
He would still thank his ancestors for eight generations!
Zhou You looked at Black Bear Winnie, "It's fine, with me here, nothing will happen."
Black Bear Winnie lowered his proud head, his heart almost crying. It was precisely because Zhou You was there that things would happen.
Dog Fugui suddenly said, "I just thought of something."
Zhou You said, "Tell me."
Dog Fugui said, "Mountain Chicken King said earlier that it could probably paralyze the Lion-Tiger Beast for three to five breaths. Given our current distance, how can we determine when the Lion-Tiger Beast will eat? If we can't determine that time, then in such a short period, it will have already recovered."
Upon hearing this, all three fell silent.
Looking ahead again, the ten roosters were almost ready to enter the cave.
Mountain Chicken King said awkwardly, "I… I didn't consider that aspect."
A fatal flaw.
A perfect plan, yet such a loophole appeared.
Once the Lion-Tiger Beast sensed something was wrong, it would undoubtedly be on full alert.
At that time, the Lion-Tiger Beast would kill them, definitely swatting one to death with a single paw, resolving the battle cleanly and efficiently.
Zhou You walked quickly forward without thinking, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up."
He moved like the wind, swiftly walking up the slope.
Throughout the process, his posture was steady, seemingly unaffected by the steepness of the slope, not even a tiny bit.
Dog Fugui galloped after him, "Canine Emperor, let me carry you."
"No need."
Zhou You said in a deep voice, "You two go ahead first. Once it's hit, act immediately."
Dog Fugui nodded, soaring into the sky and flying away rapidly.
Mountain Chicken King cursed inwardly, *Damn it, you're a real dog! You deliberately make us go to our deaths first, letting the Lion-Tiger Beast lower its guard, and then you pick up the scraps from behind.*
Shameless thing!
Even if I'm just a chicken, I have dignity!
Black Bear Winnie's expression was bitter, but he still charged headlong towards the Lion-Tiger Beast. At the same time, he had already thought of his escape route: he would take a hit first, then lie down and play dead. Once the battle began, he would find an opportunity to run away.
As for Zhou You, he had his own ideas.
The last time he killed the Golden Silk Scarlet Snake, even though there were too many snakes at the time, the final result was that he failed to kill the Golden Silk Scarlet Snake King with one strike.
This matter deeply wounded his pride!
Plus, this time the target was an Eighth-Rank Lion-Tiger Beast, and without understanding its abilities, he couldn't guarantee whether his Sword Stream would be able to deal with it.
Therefore, this time he needed to accumulate power.
The distance between the two mountains was his power accumulation process.
Zhou You sprinted, his Right Hand gripping the sword hilt, his Left Hand tightly holding the sword sheath, from which a faint sword hum resonated.
And as time passed, a terrifying Sword Intent gradually boiled within the sword sheath.
As for Dog Fugui, he was truly loyal.
Especially after knowing that Canine Emperor was a dog, this loyalty increased exponentially.
Let alone a Lion-Tiger Beast, today, even if it were a Dragon, he would dare to foolishly rush to his death.
Boom!
The mountain shook, and a giant beast emerged from the cave.
It was five meters tall, massive in size, with the head of a lion, the body of a tiger, a 'King' character on its forehead, and thick fur around its neck.
Indeed, it was the Lion-Tiger Beast!
At this moment, the Lion-Tiger Beast's mouth was stained with blood, and a few chicken feathers still clung to it.
The plan had been executed successfully, but looking at this situation…
It seemed to have no effect.
Black Bear Winnie's speed immediately slowed down, "Does this look like it's poisoned?"
Mountain Chicken King was horrified, "This… I didn't expect it to be so big. That bit of poison, it seems the estimation was wrong."
Black Bear Winnie was filled with fear, "Run… let's run, you and I together. I don't believe it can chase both of us."
Mountain Chicken King quickly glanced back, "Are you sure? If we run, I'm afraid we'll die even more miserably."
In the jungle behind them, a sharp Sword Qi was recovering, making them feel a sense of dread.
Running was out of the question; they could only go to their deaths.
Black Bear Winnie suddenly gritted his teeth, "I don't care anymore, I'll take a gamble."
Dog Fugui roared from above, his body expanding with the wind, transforming into the size of a house, his sharp claws bringing down a terrifying wave of Qi.
Roar!
The Lion-Tiger Beast roared, stood upright, and with its Right Hand, brought down a surge of powerful demonic energy, swatting Dog Fugui away with one paw.
Thud!
The mountain shook, and countless gravel fell.
Black Bear Winnie roared furiously and charged forward fiercely.
Mountain Chicken King hesitated for a moment, then flapped his wings and also charged forward.
The Lion-Tiger Beast's eyes were sharp, but its movements seemed to slow down slightly, and Black Bear Winnie directly crashed into its embrace.
