Su Xue's face lit up with a smile as she watched these fellows form their formations. She knew they had finally found the best way to survive in the Death Canyon.
It was what Ye Ningze had taught them, and what Ye Ningze had taught them was the most valuable thing in this world.
This was because it could directly save their lives. Indeed, under their interdependent state, they resisted the unknown creatures before them very well.
At times, they even gained the upper hand. This was because they never acted alone; they were like a single entity, and transforming over four hundred people into one entity was a miraculous feat.
However, just as they were congratulating themselves, the situation seemed to change again.
At this moment, they suddenly discovered a distinctly different demonic beast.
This unique demonic beast stood at the very rear of all the other demonic beasts. It seemed to be directing them on how to change formations and how to hunt the foolish humans before them.
Every time its cry varied in pitch or changed, the other demonic beasts would alter their actions according to its calls.
Because of this, all the demonic beasts before them were constantly being commanded by the one behind.
It was important to note that a group of demonic beasts without a commander and a group of demonic beasts acting with precision and order were incomparable in their lethality.
To completely eliminate this group of demonic beasts, the first thing to do was to eliminate the commander behind them.
Otherwise, they would suffer heavy casualties, and it was not guaranteed that they could defeat the enemy.
Therefore, Ye Ningze had a thought at this moment: he would do everything in his power to eliminate the commander who was directing all the demonic beasts behind them.
Ye Ningze looked at Su Xue beside him and said to her:
"You command them here, and I will go and eliminate that demonic beast."
Since all the demonic beasts had now emitted their special radiance, the entire pitch-black natural cave had been thoroughly illuminated by this special radiance.
Because of this, people realized how terrifying this cave truly was.
This was because the demonic beasts within were densely packed, to the point of making one's scalp tingle. No one knew how many demonic beasts there were.
However, they could feel that the terrifying number of these demonic beasts was enough to cause them to be completely annihilated here.
To put it bluntly, if each of these demonic beasts spat just once, they could be drowned alive in this place.
When Su Xue heard Ye Ningze's words, she said to him anxiously:
"Are you really going to that demonic beast to eliminate it? Don't you see how many demonic beasts are guarding it?"
Ye Ningze simply smiled faintly and said to Su Xue before him:
"Of course, I see it, but so what? This is a test. If we cannot pass the test, we will all die here. Since that is the case, why not take a gamble? If we don't have the spirit of gambling, then we are not worthy of living in this world."
Su Xue did not expect to receive such an answer, or perhaps this fellow was a lunatic. Even in the face of a massive army, even in the face of demonic beasts like a flood, he was completely unfazed.
If this was truly the case, then this fellow before her was truly terrifying.
Finally, Su Xue made up her mind. She said to Ye Ningze before her:
"You just go. I'll handle things here and make sure they are safe."
After Su Xue finished speaking, Ye Ningze's body flashed and he instantly charged into the horde of demonic beasts, which was like a flood.
Ye Ningze's movements were so fast that people could barely discern his exact actions. To put it bluntly, only the strong could see his movements clearly.
But even with Ye Ningze's extreme speed, it was almost impossible to penetrate the horde of demonic beasts. This was because demonic beasts constantly appeared before Ye Ningze, and the gaps Ye Ningze broke through were always filled by other demonic beasts.
A moment later, to everyone's horror, the commander of all the demonic beasts began to retreat, playing a game of hide-and-seek with Ye Ningze.
If this were truly the case, then it would be a pipe dream for Ye Ningze to catch up to or eliminate the opponent.
This was because the distance between them remained unchanged, but Ye Ningze's physical strength would eventually be depleted. Once Ye Ningze's stamina was exhausted, only death would await him.
Ye Ningze knew very well that if he could not find a breakthrough in a short period, then the only path that awaited him was death.
Just as everyone was worrying about Ye Ningze, things took another turn. The demonic beasts around Ye Ningze suddenly stopped their actions.
Ye Ningze then seized this opportunity to launch a fierce offensive. His speed became extremely fast again. Most importantly, wherever he walked, the demonic beasts around him completely stopped their actions.
This point made people very confused. No one knew what method Ye Ningze had used to achieve this.
They did not know that Ye Ningze had now deployed his mental power into a barrier. This barrier was approximately a ten-meter radius sphere.
Because of this, any demonic beast that entered this barrier would completely lose its willpower and actions due to Ye Ningze's powerful mental energy.
Therefore, Ye Ningze now appeared as if wherever he walked, the demonic beasts around him would completely lose their sanity and ability to act, standing still in place.
Finally, the commanding demonic beast sensed the danger and began to let out angry roars repeatedly.
However, these roars could not completely awaken the demonic beasts around Ye Ningze. Seeing the number of demonic beasts controlled by Ye Ningze growing, the commanding demonic beast finally let out a roar that sounded like a human's.
What happened next was a sight that made people's scalps tingle: a human voice actually emerged from the mouth of a demonic beast.
"Human, why do you possess such powerful mental energy? Such mental energy is clearly not something you should possess. Tell me quickly, or you will never leave this place."
