7- The true hyena tide had begun!

Dark clouds covered the sky, casting shadows over the entire Zhu Xin mountain, seemingly signifying the coming of a storm.

On a remote mountain side, hundreds of robust Shadow hyenas drew back the corners of their mouth and made low roars. They had surrounded A group of Gu masters.

Any other Rank two Gu Master would be desperate if they were caught in such besiegement, alone. However, the situation was quite opposite right now.

A group of Gu masters was standing on the spot, their expression calm. Instead, these Shadow hyenas that were surrounding him were slightly nervous and afraid.

The battle had already continued for a while and the ground was soaked with blood. Several Shadow hyenas had collapsed on the ground, and the silence showed that a group of Gu Masters held the upper hand in the battle.

This group consisted of 4 Rank 3 Gu Masters led by Liu Liu and her husband.

They were sent here in order to kill the Hundred Beast King, who controls these hyenas.

A hundred Beast King can control and Ruled over a hundred Beasts, and their battle Strength is comparable to that of a rank 2-3. (1)

In the world of Gu, there are all sorts of Gu Worms. Normally, Gu Worms reside in the bodies of strong Beasts or Beast Kings, and live alongside them.

The threat of a Beast King was multiple times higher than a normal Beast. The reason was that their bodies had one or two Gu Worms inside. These Gu had a mutual partnership with the Beast Kings, and once the Beast King is attacked, they would come out and assist them.

Kill!

Liu wang shouted, he took the initiative to attack. His foot pushed the ground as he pounced towards a Shadow hyena on his left side.

This Shadow hyena immediately shrunk back a small step in fear, but then its vicious personality was stimulated; it made a powerful jump and attacked Liu wang.

It opened its mouth in the air, revealing the many sharp hyena teeth that filled its mouth.

Liu wang laughed loudly; he didn't evade but just swung his right arm.

Whoosh.

An crimson Qi-blade flew horizontally through the air and struck the shadow hyena's open mouth.

There was only a ripping noise, this unfortunate shadow hyena was instantly cut apart into two - from its mouth to tail - by this Qi-blade.

Boiling blood spurted out and poured like a rain of blood.

Another person from Liu Liu's group moved toward the hyenas quickly, This person's name is Liu Shan.

Grand Bear Gu!

immediately used the Grand Bear Gu in his aperture.

Immediately, his hair started stiffening up like steel needles. The muscles on his whole body enlarged and he seemed to have become much taller and bulkier.

Strength of two bears!

starting punched and kicked, and the shadow hyenas were sent flying under his enormous strength of two bears. Some shadow hyenas had their skulls directly smashed and died on the spot.

Liu Liu gently smiled. Without speaking, she extended her two hands; ten green vines grew out from her palms. Like ten nimble green pythons, the ten vines climbed up the shadow hyenas and twisted around their body.

The green vines wrapped around the necks of ten hyenas and strangled them so forcefully that their necks were broken.

Some shadow hyenas tried to sneak up to attack Liu Liu from behind, but Liu Liu was warned in time so she controlled the green vines and used them like a whip and hit the hyenas that tried to sneak up to attack them, the green vines were strong enough to crush the skulls of the Shadow hyenas.

Liu Liu had the strongest battle Strength out of everyone present here, so it was foolish for the Shadow hyenas to think that they could defeat her so easily.

in the middle of the group was a young woman with a head of watery blue-coloured long hair called Liu Xiao.

She was the reconnaissance Gu Master of this group, and She could sense the entire battlefield and know all the moves of the Shadow Hyenas. And she's the one who warned Liu Liu about the attack of shadow hyenas.

Suddenly Liu Xiao opened her mouth and spoke, "The Hundred Beast King is starting to move toward us."

In the darkness, a bold shadow hyenas's figure immediately became visible.

Its body was twice the size of a normal shadow hyenas, the hair in its body erect. It opened its mouth and revealed its silver white sharp fangs.

A fierce Bold shadow hyena (Hundred Beast King) jumped in front of them, and the group met it head-on. Without Liu Xiao's warning in advance, perhaps they would be caught unprepared.

But right now, the group had long anticipated.

Firstly, Liu Liu used the vines web Gu.

The vines that came out from Liu Liu's palms earlier started to intertwine together to form a net similar to a spider's net and trapped the Bold shadow hyena full in the face.

The Bold shadow hyena struggled fiercely in the net, and Liu Shan immediately stepped forward and brandished his fist, pounding onto the hyena's head.

This hyena's head is much stronger than the rest of the hyenas, so it didn't die from the first hit.

Meanwhile, An crimson Qi-blade flew horizontally through the air and struck the bold shadow hyena's neck.

Although the Qi-blade did not cut off the head of the hyena, it was able to cut the trachea and the artery that sends blood to the brain, causing a lot of blood loss, and after a few breaths the bold shadow hyena died.

They did not give the bold shadow hyena the opportunity to use Gu worms on it body.

The remaining several shadow hyenas lost their fighting spirit and looked at A group of Gu masters with fear. They whimpered and then tucked their tails and escaped.

A group of Gu masters didn't chase after them.

They couldn't compare to these shadow hyenas in speed; chasing was pointless.

The ground was filled with hyena corpses and they were all Liu Liu's group spoils of war.

The group did not collect the spoils of war directly, Liu Xiao checked the surrounding area first to make sure they were safe.

"It is safe for the moment." Liu Xiao let out a breath of relief.

After the group started collecting the spoils of war, Liu Liu found a Rank 3 Hyena Enslavement Gu on the Hundred Beast King's body. (2)

After they collected the spoils, they began looking for another hyenas packs.

Strangely, all along the way, they hadn't run into any hyenas packs.

Liu Liu raised her head to look at the sky, it was afternoon but the sky was already dusky as if it was evening.

The wind blew, and the dark clouds densely covered the sky and moved rapidly, brewing thunder and rainstorm.

Right at this time, Liu Xiao's face suddenly paled, she opened her mouth and sucked in a deep breath.

"Liu Xiao, what happened?" Other three members naturally noticed this.

Her face was deathly white right now and she had no wish to give detailed explanation.

"Run, quick!" She shouted with terror and amidst other group members' astonished gazes, she turned around and ran.

"Follow Liu Xiao!!" Other group members were not foolish, they quickly reacted and broke into a run.

hyena growls came from behind them continuously. From these noises, they knew there was more than a thousand shadow hyenas!

Everyone in the group was pale, they breathed heavily and used all their strength to run.

"These shadow hyenas are cunning, choosing to attack in such weather. The noise from the strong wind and the sounds from the pine forest will mask their movements to a great degree." Liu Liu sighed inwardly, then ran towards the village with her greatest speed.

But when the Hyena under effect of Hyena Enslavement Gu dies, the Hyena's soul will dissipates, and the Hyena Enslavement Gu dies with it. Gu Master will never able to retrieve back the Hyena Enslavement Gu.
