Chapter 82: Venomous Creatures Valley (7)
The Beast Palace Lord and the elders stood frozen as they stared at the blocked escape route.
It wasn’t just the fact that their path had been cut off—it was the sheer horror of seeing the elephants melt away before their eyes that had left them in shock.
To witness a creature as mighty as an elephant—one that even tigers feared—screaming in desperation for help... And then, to see it dissolve into the ground like melting snow...
It was something they had never seen before.
Something they had never even imagined.
So it was only natural that the elders and the Beast Palace Lord, who had gathered near the entrance, could only stare blankly at the horde of demon ants blocking the way.
In that paralyzing moment, they caught sight of Ji-ju climbing the cliff, and the young hero alongside the Tang Clan’s daughter, both looking utterly distressed.
For a brief instant, hope flickered in their eyes at the sight of Ji-ju.
But even if Ji-ju could help them escape, they would have to leave behind all their beasts.
And to the members of the Beast Palace, their animals were like their own children and siblings.
There wouldn’t be many among them willing to abandon their lifelong companions.
Moreover, the young hero and the Tang Clan’s daughter had come here as strangers, risking their own safety just to warn them. How could they ask for more from them?
