Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 518 Encounter (Combined Chapter)
The terrain of Shan is high in the east and low in the west.

Starting from the vast grassland, the earth continued to rise, and when the surroundings turned into rugged mountains, it meant that it had left the range of the land of Shan.

It is also because of these mountains.

It intercepts some of the warm water vapor, allowing it to stay and thus provide precious rain.

at the foot of the mountain.

It is the most fertile and safest pasture in the entire land of Shem.

They are occupied by the White Eyebrow clan.

The remaining second-level grasslands spread outward like a circular wave and were distributed to the remaining small tribes.

These tribes.

That is, a vassal of the White Eyebrow Clan.

They shared this rare peaceful paradise in Shem.

however.

But today the situation has changed.

——The beak-mouthed beast disaster.

"Run!"

The mountain clan originally had hundreds of households, but now there are less than a hundred people left in the entire clan.

On the vast plain.

Flee in a hurry.

The few remaining camels in the tribe carried life-saving water and food, but their hind legs had been plowed with shocking scars and exuded a fishy and rotten smell.

Just look at the traces.

It is enough to imagine what kind of terrible creature attacked them.

If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the animal trainers of the mountain clan to drive them away, these poor beasts of burden would have succumbed to their instinctive fear and fled in all directions long ago.

But the camel was able to overcome his fear.

Their owners are always in the torment of life and death crisis.

Aaron and Qi Ke, the only two remaining animal trainers of the Shanye clan, have not yet forgotten the tragic incident that happened in their tribe a few days ago.

Those long-necked beasts.

It's no longer an animal.

It's simply devil.

When the gods created all things, they gathered together all the malice and casually threw it at the world as a little joke.

All the soldiers of the Shanye clan were killed.

Even most of the animal trainers were killed.

If Aaron and Qi Ke had not been out grazing with the tribe and smeared the scent of the beaked beast on their bodies, they would have escaped the disaster and fled with the rest of the people.

As the youngest and most talented animal tamer in the tribe, Qi Ke is often sought after by young men. At her age, she is very fond of beauty, and she often takes the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the White Eyebrow Clan in exchange for some exquisite trinkets from the merchant guild.

Now, it is covered in filth.

The feces of meat eaters never smell good.

But Qi Ke no longer cared about these things. There was only fear and fatigue on her face, and her former pride was no longer there.

Her ability to tame animals.

Normally, he could tame the most violent bull in the tribe, but it had no effect on the beaked beast.

And another animal trainer, Aaron.

His eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot like algae.

He remembered it clearly.

I was forced to search for the food pellets regurgitated by the beaked beast, and I saw the silver bracelet among the pile of indigestible hair and clothes.

It was a gift from him to his new wife.

"How could this happen..." Aaron murmured.

Even though this beaked beast disaster had been anticipated, its severity still exceeded everyone's imagination.

Especially for the Eastern Shem people who are accustomed to peace and stability.

It’s determined by the terrain.

They will not be abused by foreign forces like Shanxi.

Something happened.

There is also the support of the White Eyebrow Clan, the patriarch.

No matter what, it shouldn't have fallen to this point.

"We are heading west..." On the other side, Qi Ke didn't think too much. She observed the direction of the sun and suddenly realized, "Isn't this a trap for us?"

Based on past experience.

The disaster situation in the western part of the Shan area is usually much more serious than that in the eastern part.

Now even these Eastern Shem tribes have been forced to start migrating. If they head west, what awaits them might be a grassland full of blood-stained longnecks.

"No, we are not wrong." Aaron kept his eyes open, whipped the camel, and urged the tribesmen to speed up, "This is also a strange place..."

He has communicated with many other affected tribes.

Then I was surprised to find out.

Most of the beaked beasts encountered by their tribes, which were located at the outermost part of the eastern part of the Land of Flash (which could be said to be sandwiched between the east and the west), did not come from the west where they could normally advance straight in.

They were coming from the east.

That was a route that was heavily guarded by the White Eyebrow Clan, but the beaked beastmen seemed to have ignored this largest tribe and swarmed towards them, the small shrimps.

Instead, it is in the direction of the western part of the land of Shem.

Somewhat calm.

Could it be that this time the beaked beast disaster just didn't affect the west?
But the western part of Shan is flat and has few obstacles. Even if Aaron himself is a beaked beast, he will not ignore this place.

But the reality is right in front of us.

Aaron couldn't think otherwise.

I could only envy in my heart with tears in my eyes: the other party's luck was just too good this time.

But just as the two animal trainers were leading the team and discussing the escape route, a powerful roar sounded on the vast grassland.

Like a horn.

It's like a death warrant.

The people of the Shanye clan knew the result, but they still couldn't help but look back, trembling with fear -

A long neck as thick as a chimney.

A head with a pointed beak that seems to be smiling.

Raise your head and let out a long cry.

The figure of the beaked beast appeared from the end of the distant horizon, staggering.

Only one.

But all the herdsmen changed their expressions.

"The Elder Period..."

The elder beaked beast!

Based on the already bloodthirsty and huge beaked beast, it broke through the limits of natural growth and turned into a walking killing machine.

That's from the wasteland of bones,

A real monster.

It is said that even the giant beast Leviathan, which has survived since time immemorial, could be preyed upon by them.

When he clearly discovered this beaked beast king.

The other party is still in the horizon.

But just by looking at it like this, its shape was already extremely clear, and the next moment, it seemed to have expanded a circle——

It is approaching rapidly.

The grassland shook like an earthquake.

"Run!" Aaron roared.

At this point, what other choice is there?

They had finally escaped here, so how could they give up hope of survival so easily?

Even if it is so slim.

The members of the Shanye clan took hurried steps, squeezing out the last bit of strength from their already exhausted bodies.

However, after hearing the roar of the beaked beast, one of the camels seemed to finally be unable to bear the fear and fell to the ground, unable to stand up no matter how hard it tried.

Qi Ke pulled the reins, trying to urge it to stand up.

“Never mind!”

Aaron grabbed her and ran for his life.

I haven't run even a few hundred meters yet.

Then I heard a shrill scream behind me.

The beaked beast king had already caught up to the fallen camel. Excited at the sight of prey, he raised his long neck as if stabbing down from the sky and bit the camel's body.

A camel raised by a mountain clan.

It is fat and strong, and more than three meters long.

But compared to this elder beaked beast, it looked like a helpless newborn lamb.

Just one bite,
His spine was broken and his skin was torn.

The teeth-grinding chewing sound can be heard from such a distance.

Not to mention the roar of manic joy that came from the heart.

The other party is getting closer and closer.

Only with its strength and speed could it break away from the group and catch up with the mountain clan that had already escaped the encirclement.

At this moment, Aaron was inspired. He grabbed the reins of the other camel, took out a sharp knife from his pocket, and slashed it.

Blinded Jiatuo's eyes.

Before the beast of burden could get mad from the pain, Aaron used his animal training skills to make it turn around.

The camel rushed towards the beaked beast behind it.

Soon.

There was another round of screaming and wailing.

Can be attacked and camel added.

The pace of the Beak-billed Beast King was slowed down.

Qi Ke witnessed this scene and quickly came to her senses from her shock and followed suit.

Even if it is just a tiny bit of time, this little distance can greatly increase their chances of escape.

Soon.

The few remaining camels of the Shanye Clan were all sacrificed here, along with the supplies on them, leaving behind a trail of broken and bloody corpses that could no longer be identified from their original appearance.

However, this is not enough.

When the beaked beast grew to the elder stage, it already had some basic intelligence. It seemed to realize that it just had to kill the camel and then catch up with the fleeing humans.

That's all meat.

It's all its.

Therefore, the Beak-billed Beast King simply killed the camels as quickly as possible, but was not attracted by their corpses to eat, and then chased after them.

not enough!
Seeing this, Aaron could only make the most difficult decision.

"spread!"

It's not that Qi Ke and I are on our own and act separately.

But all scattered.

Given the speed of the Beakbill, it would be too late to split up the team when it was caught up.

They will all be wiped out.

They can only be scattered like stars in the sky, each relying on their own ability.

But this also means.

The mountain clans will no longer exist from now on...their people will become the most common and miserable refugees in the land of Shem in the past.

In the old days.

After the beast disaster, countless small tribes disappeared, and the refugees would go to the White Eyebrow Clan to seek refuge or simply join them.

As a result, the Baimei clan continued to grow and develop until it became what it is today.

but now.

The eastern part of Shem could not protect itself.

What should they do after becoming refugees?
This is for Aaron.

It's a desperate question.

But the prerequisite for thinking about it is that at least one of them must be able to survive the pursuit of this beaked beast king!
but.

Even though they made this difficult decision.

Something happened that made the Shanye clan completely despair:

"Ouch————"

Wolf howl!

"There's a Boneyard Wolf ahead..." Aaron's face changed when he heard the voice. His feet seemed to have lost all strength and he almost stumbled to the ground.

Ahead, there were wolves howling everywhere.

There is more than one coming in this situation.

It was a fairly large wolf pack.

Although it is unknown why, the Bonebury Wolves hunt during the day and appear in the range of the Beakbill.

But now the question is.

Even if the Shanye Clan dispersed and could avoid the pursuit of the Beak-billed Beast King - after all, there was only one of them and it couldn't split itself into two.

But he couldn't escape the wolves' pursuit.

They will be taken away and torn into pieces one by one.

All escape routes were blocked.

There are wolves in front and beaked beasts behind.

It's a desperate situation.

All the tribesmen noticed this and stopped in despair.

Aaron gritted his teeth, looked at Qi Ke beside him, and pressed her shoulders: "Go!"

She is a talented young person.

Compared to herself, only her animal taming skills and affinity could possibly allow her to escape the wolves' pursuit and conceal her identity.

If all the rest of the Shanye clan.

They are all destined to die here.

At least we should leave behind a spark and a hope!
Unexpectedly, Qi Ke seemed not to have heard his stern and earnest order, but stared blankly ahead, as if she had noticed something.

"Uncle Aaron... those are not Boneyard Wolves. No, that's not right." Then, she pointed with her finger in surprise, "They are Boneyard Wolves, but..."

"But there are people on them!"

The voice just fell.

Along with the wolf howls that echoed throughout the field, the brown-red silhouettes of the wolves in the boneyard also emerged at the end of the grass hill, like a dark tide of blood.

Aaron was also surprised to find out.

Just as Qi Ke said.

On the wolf's back, there are soldiers sitting!

The soldier bees, with thin but strong limbs, were wearing light leather armor, with white animal fur sticking out from their leather collars, fluttering in the wind.

The long weapons in their hands.

The sharp blades point to the sky like a forest.

Driven by the riders, the Boneyard Wolves were as docile as dogs, and did not hunt around like wild wolves and charge at their prey.

It looks more like a parade.

"What... is going on?" Shocked by the scene, Aaron forgot about the crisis for a moment, and doubts came to his mind, "Whose tribe are they?"

Wolf rider.

The tribes in the land of Semite also had their own fantasies.

Including Aaron Yamano himself.

But no one has ever succeeded.

But this troop appeared in front of them at this moment.

Wolf riders.

They also discovered the Mountain Clan and the giant beaked beast that was far away but gradually approaching, and there was a commotion at that moment.

After another period of development.

They have expanded to seventy or eighty people.

But it is still not enough to deal with an elder beaked beast.

If it is a normal encounter.

Even if a wandering tribe was attacked, the commander of the wolf cavalry would definitely order a quick evacuation to preserve the Red King's assets and his own lives.

But at the moment.

Although there was a natural commotion among the several rows of wolf cavalry, they did not panic and remained on high alert.

"The Elder Stage, it's really rare..." Someone said, "Fight back."

The person who spoke was not the commander of the team, but all the wolf cavalrymen obeyed the order and rushed down from the grass hill.

In the eyes of everyone in the Shanye clan.

That is the brown-red tide.

As they passed by Aaron and the others, they stirred up gusts of wind, and Aaron could even see the saliva flowing from the wolves as they bit the bridles.

But they just neglected themselves.

He faced the beaked beast that was chasing him relentlessly.

However, the wolf riders did not charge directly, but quickly spread out and formed into circles like a hunting group.

Wait until the elder-stage giant beast approaches.

Its long neck paused.

I found myself surrounded by a pack of wolves.

but,

The beaked beast was not afraid at all.

As it ran, the wolf cavalry in front of it had no choice but to retreat in a hurry and make way.

Just more food.

The footsteps hit like thunder.

At this time, Qi Ke discovered:

As the wolf riders rushed down, they saw other walking figures on the grass hill.

Most of them did not hold weapons, and the pack animals around them were equipped with some engineering equipment.

Only one person is in the lead.

He was wearing a cloak and standing with a sword in his hand.

In the reflection of the sunlight, the blade was as red as blood.
