Chapter 599 Disfigurement (3)_1
However, after a series of fierce attacks by the beasts, Xiao Ruiyuan’s side had only thirteen guards and four Young Masters from prominent families with enough strength left to continue counterattacking. Facing hundreds of fierce beasts, hoping to hold out for a moment until reinforcements arrived was increasingly difficult.
Aside from Xiao Ruiyuan, the others had injuries, ranging from minor to severe, and could only barely protect themselves, unable to care for Prince Heng and others lying behind them.
The beasts didn’t care for the dozens of people lying behind; their hate-filled gaze was fixated on Xiao Ruiyuan and others who kept killing their kin. Xiao Ruiyuan, being the strongest, became the target of the beasts’ attacks, surrounded by six wolves, three tigers, and a giant python; the pressure on him multiplied, and he found it extremely difficult to cope.
Not far away, on a large tree, a figure in dark green blended seamlessly into the treetops, merging with the dense leaves.
The figure in green, with a masked face, put away the Short Flute used to control the beasts, took out a Crossbow from his waist, and aimed a Short Arrow, glowing with a cold light, at Prince Heng’s chest. Just as the deadly arrow was about to be shot, another figure in dark green appeared in the treetops and signaled the green-clad, masked person to retreat.
Seeing this, the green-clad, masked person heeded the other’s signal, withdrew the Short Arrow and Crossbow, and the two of them descended from the tree crown, disappearing into the vast, deep forest without a sound...
Xiao Ruiyuan was completely unaware of this scene, already overwhelmed by the attack of ten fierce beasts; he couldn’t spare a moment to pay attention to anything else.
Although the beasts’ stamina was greatly depleted, after half an hour of desperate fighting, Xiao Ruiyuan’s combat ability also reached its limit, only able to defend with great difficulty, no longer able to launch attacks.
