Chapter 344: Chapter 277: Reconnaissance Map? Human Traces!
After using the Rabies Eruption Technique, Zheng Cheng didn’t go far but followed suit behind the few hyena man pups.
With the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique activated for tracking, he wouldn’t be concerned about losing them.
As darkness fell, a large area of red points suddenly appeared in front of these hyena man pups on the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, Zheng Cheng had immediately stopped.
The Hyena Man camp.
In this camp, there were at least 5,000 Hyena Men, making it a medium-sized Hyena Man camp.
He wouldn’t venture into such a place lightly without absolute strength on his side.
“Let’s go. The incubation period for rabies might be a month, but it will erupt within seven days at max!”
“Within seven days, the rabies in those few hyena man pups will definitely break out…”,
Jerry quickly retreated to a boulder forest that was sheltered from the wind and started to rest.
Early the next morning, Zheng Cheng had left the area.
In the wilderness, whether it’s Hyena Men, Dogmen, or Jackalabs, their sense of smell is very strong.
He won’t stay in the same place for too long.
“Without any precise maps or directions yet, huh… The south is filled with forests and numerous red points…”
In mid-air, Zheng Cheng used Jerry’s speed to continuously scout the environment around him.
He’d occasionally adjust his direction, constantly working on the map.
The gathering locations of lots of life’s auras were repeatedly marked by him. All these life aura colors were blood red, representing enemies!
“Within a radius of 100 miles in my front and adjacent, there are more than a dozen gathering points of monsters with a scale above a thousand.”
“And there’s a large gathering point with more than 30,000 lives’ aura. This points very possibly to a Dogmen tribe!”
“These auras are identical with those I sensed before. They are definitely Hyena Men tribes!”
Zheng Cheng just conducted surveillance from a distance, he did not approach.
However, he underestimated the Hyena Men tribe. When he was conducting surveillance, hundreds of cavalrymen from the tribe unexpectedly burst out and quickly started to chase towards him.
“Darn! Is their sense of smell that sharp?”
He cursed and promptly mounted Jerry to escape.
About ten minutes later, he had shaken off those Hyena Men cavalry.
“Huh? What’s this…”
Zheng Cheng’s heart suddenly stirred. In his Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, about three kilometers to his east, dozens of yellow points had appeared on the map, moving swiftly.
In their vicinity, there was a substantial amount of life essence appearing in red.
“Yellow points? Neutrals?”
“How is that possible, there won’t be neutral units in the wilderness unless… they’re of the same tribe!”
“And they are being hunted! They might be humans from Ruin City, possibly students who participated in this Sub-Dragon Trials!”
“They may have a map, or they could provide me with the direction to the Ruin City.”
“Let’s go and have a look!”
He patted Jerry’s head, who immediately turned around and flew towards that direction.
…
“Ah!”
“Run!”
“Damn it! Going head-on with these damned Hyena Men!”
“Ah!”
At the foot of a hill, over thirty Professionists of different professions were fleeing frantically.
Behind them were dozens of Hyena Man horsemen riding on Seat Wolves, hot on their tail in pursuit.
At the front were seven or eight burly Jackalmen, identical in shape and size to normal humans, but with wolf ears and tails.
The Jackalmen were one of the major races in the Cave Beastmen Tribe, their comprehensive strength far surpassed that of ordinary Hyena Men.
They held curved swords, their attacks were exceedingly swift, often letting loose violent blade winds when they struck, straightaway cleaving the Professionists in front of them into two halves along with their gear!
Within less than ten minutes of being chased by Jackalmen, over a dozen Professionists had fallen!
“Stop running! Stop running!”
A middle-aged man on the central carriage was yelling, “Damn it! They’re all horsemen, we won’t be able to outrun them!”
“I’ve already set off the distress signal. Hang on for an hour, they’ll definitely come to our rescue!”
“Dammit, stop running!”
“Knights and warriors to the front! Mages and archers step back! Clerics and priests, cast your buffs!”
Upon the middle-aged man’s shout, the previously chaotic crowd quickly settled.
Around ten warriors, holding their shields and weapons, pushed up to the very front, as the mages and archers hastily retreated.
“Quick! Marsh Spell!”
A mage yelled, his staff shimmering with light. A swamp that spanned over ten meters in diameter instantly materialized on the grassland up ahead.
Seven to eight Hyena Men Knights stumbled, getting sucked into it.
“Web Spell!”
Another mage waved his staff, and a gigantic spider web fell from the sky, enveloping a Jackalman Knight.
The Jackalman Knight slash instantly, cutting the web into two halves.
But due to that delay, the human team had already formed a defensive formation.
A priest and a cleric in the back started chanting incantations, and before long, ten plus warriors upfront were shimmering with white and green protective auras.
A group of Hyena Men Knights charged, only to be forced to retreat, leaving two of their comrades’ corpses behind.
“Whew…just like that!”
“Hold on! Just ten more minutes!”
“Humans!”
The Jackalmanright up front suddenly gestured, and dozens of Hyena Men Knights behind him halted their movements.
He spoke in a guttural language, “Release my tribesmen, and I might leave your corpses whole.”
“In your dreams!”
From atop the wagon, the middle-aged man bellowed, “Our reinforcements are almost here! Leave if you value your lives!”
Fury filled the Jackalman’s eyes. With a fierce sweep of his right hand, more than ten Hyena Men Knights pulled out the hand axes from their backs and flung them ruthily at the human team.
“Whizz!”
“Whizz, whizz!”
“Ah!”
Two mages were hit by the axes as they were caught off guard.
Even though they were protected by magic shields, they were still knocked over.
“Kill!”
“Argh argh argh…~”
Tens of Seat Wolves roared in fury, charging headlong into the human team using the stored momentum from their short-distance sprint. Their curved swords dancing in their hands as they started slaughtering.
“Ah!”
“Die! Crescent Slash!”
A warrior roared, his broadsword beheading a Seat Wolf. He twisted his waist and dodged, plunging his sword into the chest of a Hyena Man on another Seat Wolf’s back.
Before he could even pull out his sword, another Hyena Man Knight charged, decapitating him in one stroke!
Immediately, the Hyena Men Knights and human warriors were locked in a deadly battle.
Arrows whizzed through the air, and magic spells were cast.
But the numbers were not in the humans’ favor, their warriors were falling one after another, their hearts pierced by the enemy’s swords.
The middle-aged man on the carriage in the center of the formation, his face finally changed.
“Dammit! Why aren’t they here yet? Why aren’t they here yet!”
“I’m paying tens of thousands of gold coins a month! Damn it…”
“Roar…!”
At that moment, a thunderous roar resounded from the distant skies.
Both parties on the battlefield below instinctively looked up to find the source of the sound.
In the distance, a black dot was rapidly approaching, getting bigger and bigger, revealing a monstrous flying beast.
The middle-aged man was dancing with excitement, “Ha, ha, ha, they’re here, they’re here! Our reinforcements have arrived!”
The leading Jackalman Knight’s face instantly turned pale.
“Is that… a Sub-dragon Knight?!”
“This is the heartland of our Cave Beastmen Tribe, how could a Sub-dragon Knight get so close? Damn it!”
