This means that when they returned, they might also become clan leaders! Their strength was evident, and even if they didn't, no beast would dare to order them around.
However, they still moved in the end. What if Kuang Su's strength recovered after he came out?
In an instant, a group of lion beasts flew up, their target being Hu Qi and the others!
Fen Bei followed directly, but her speed was not fast enough. With another bite, she swallowed a lion beast at the Heavenly Dao King realm. The others were almost caught...
Although Kuang Hou's cultivation was insufficient, he was, after all, a former Heavenly Dao Emperor. His speed and reaction were extremely fast. He scooped up Hu Qi and leaped down forcefully, disregarding the high and steep cliffs!
Because they were falling by gravity, the lion beasts' pressure could not be controlled. They had no choice but to turn and chase! Ripples of spiritual energy followed closely!
The moment Kuang Hou landed, he shifted his position. The ground beneath his feet exploded as he moved! Spiritual energies of various attributes surged out! The entire mountain ravine was instantly a riot of colors and deafening noise...
Inside the cave...
Jin Bao'er dared not be careless. She could only divide a small portion of her divine sense to check the situation, with most of her attention on the frequently trembling and faintly levitating furnace in front of her!
An hour and a half had passed. The elixir had taken shape, but its potency was insufficient! Points of spiritual energy of various attributes still lingered in the furnace...
"Clang!!"
She pressed the furnace to the ground again, emitting a dull thud! She was helpless... The pure spiritual energy of a Heavenly Dao Emperor was indeed extraordinary! If she were even slightly careless, the furnace would likely explode...
The slight thud was not obvious amidst the roars outside! But it was still noticed by Kuang Su! His gaze suddenly shifted towards the direction of the cave, his eyes filled with confusion...
Because his divine sense could not penetrate, he couldn't see inside! Yet, he found it strange!
The mountain ravine was circular, surrounding the giant mountain in the center, where the entire lion tribe resided! As their clan leader, he naturally understood the situation below. But that place... there used to be a cave, right? Why did it look like a solid wall now?
Kuang Su was not stupid! On the contrary, he was considered quite intelligent among the demon beast tribes!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the clan leader, and he wouldn't have been able to incite Kuang Hou to leave impulsively back then! It was only later, blinded by the excitement of torturing the beast king, and then being covered by Jin Lingdang and losing his cultivation, that he lost his composure...
But now that he had calmed down, he quickly discovered the abnormality!
The direction Kuang Hou had fled... seemed to be moving away from here?!
Was there something here that couldn't be discovered? Why would he risk being pursued to lure away those lion beasts? Thinking about the commotion inside, his eyes sharpened...
It wasn't that he thought Kuang Hou was plotting anything, nor could he have imagined Kuang Hou finding someone to help him refine pills to restore his strength. He just found it strange!
Then, watching them move further away, he finally called out...
"Don't chase, come back!"
The lion beasts looked displeased. Three of them even frowned and said.
"Clan leader, you suddenly chased and then suddenly turned back. Are you playing with us?"
Kuang Su's eyes turned cold, and his expression was ugly! But he knew he was trapped and still relied on them.
"I suspect there is something inside the mountain. Go and investigate quickly!"
Another command, although the tone was better, the lion beast who had spoken earlier didn't buy it and still looked impatient.
"Clan leader! Due to the previous vibrations, the barrier of the mountain has loosened. If we move, the barrier might open, exposing the lion tribe to other beast tribes, leaving us completely vulnerable!"
What he said was not wrong, but...
A sneer sounded from above, and seven or eight figures slowly descended!
"So that's how it is. I thought something had happened to the lion tribe! You're actively opening the barrier... Tsk tsk! Lion clan leader, what are you doing? Playing a cage game?"
Kuang Su's face turned pale. He stared intently at the person's face and gritted his teeth menacingly.
"Hu Qiu of the tiger tribe?!"
Looking at the Heavenly Dao Emperors behind him, it was clear they had come with ill intentions!
And on the distant cliff, a few scattered demon beasts from other tribes also stopped, observing cautiously!
Seeing this scene, Kuang Su's vision went black, and he almost fainted! It was understandable that Hu Qiu and a few others could enter, as the barrier was loosened, and with their strength, breaking through was normal! But why could other beast tribes approach here?!
It could only mean... the barrier was broken! Or it was so slight that it was almost nonexistent! The lion tribe now... anyone could enter!!
The lion beasts also looked panicked, facing Hu Qiu and the eight others with alert gazes! The situation was very unfavorable for them!
Coincidentally, these eight were the same ones who had threatened the fox tribe back then! Hu Qi glanced instinctively at the cave. If they knew Jin Bao'er was here, they would be doomed later...
First, they offended the fox tribe, and now they offended the lion tribe. If the two discovered Jin Bao'er, they might even join forces! Wouldn't Jin Bao'er be dead for sure!?
Jin Bao'er, who was concentrating on refining pills inside, felt her nose tingle slightly. Then she sensed the aura of the tiger tribe members and suddenly opened her eyes! Fortunately, the furnace in front of her was in its final stage and didn't react much.
She frowned!
This was not good! When the elixir was ready, it would surely cause a commotion. If those outside interfered, all her hard work would be in vain!
She felt helpless. Kuang Hou had clearly said it was very safe here! Now, with so many demon beasts gathered, when the elixir came out, she would likely become the target of public criticism...
Outside...
Kuang Hou stood aside, remaining silent, doing his best to conserve his energy!
The lion tribe and the tiger tribe clashed directly. The group of Heavenly Dao Kings were completely unable to intervene, while the remaining Heavenly Dao Emperors rushed forward to tear at each other. Both sides attacked fiercely, holding nothing back!
The lion tribe, being descendants of beast kings, had always been arrogant! After Kuang Hou's disappearance, they naturally wanted to continue being a beast king tribe! However, the tiger tribe's strength had grown year by year, and their ambition was clear for all to see!
The two tribes had clashed many times, and neither had gained an advantage. The tiger tribe had decided to force other tribes to acknowledge them. Now, with the lion tribe's barrier suddenly broken and their clan leader trapped, how could he miss this opportunity?!
In an instant, the entire mountain ravine echoed with explosions, and the mountain body swayed precariously! Occasionally, spiritual energy fluctuations of various colors would fly out, quickly incinerating the low-level demon beasts who were watching from the sidelines...
Only some demon beasts at the Heavenly Dao realm remained, refusing to leave, but they had also retreated considerably.
After half an hour of fighting! The lion tribe's domain, supported by the mountain body, was also on the verge of collapse. Kuang Su only then reacted and quickly roared for a ceasefire!
Hu Qiu's objective was precisely this! Fighting on someone else's territory would damage their property, allowing them to fight freely! They weren't afraid that the other party wouldn't compromise.
