Old Wang asked, confused, "Why? Do these strange beasts have any special characteristics?"
"Would a normal beast tide stand here, coming to die one by one?"
Tie Lao's rhetorical question left Old Wang speechless, and he only then realized.
"Tie Lao, so this beast tide is abnormal?"
"How did you survive until now? With your IQ, how could you have entered Red Coast?"
Old Wang coughed sheepishly and explained, "No, it's just that I saw a senior like you here, so I was too lazy to use my brain."
Tie Lao ignored him and continued to head towards the center of the beast tide.
It was as if if they couldn't find anything unusual, they could still pass through the beast swarm using this method. Tie Lao had already considered this before making his move. The strength of the current wave of strange beasts was relatively weaker, making it the best opportunity to act.
In the middle of the stone beasts, where Li Chonglou was located.
At this moment, with him as the center, a one-meter-high wall of corpses had piled up within a ten-meter radius. He himself stood at the highest point, continuing to slaughter the suicidal strange beasts that charged at him.
An Lao in his mind was already utterly shocked, and eventually even became numb. The people in the bottle space, however, were all beaming with joy.
"Little Li, you're amazing! Another hour or two, and not only will we all recover, but we might even have enough for the next round of supplies!"
Old Lin's exclamation echoed everyone's thoughts. Caihong did not retort, and in less than half an hour, everyone's energy recovery had reached fifty percent.
This was for everyone. It meant that even if Li Chonglou stopped now, the remaining soul power would be enough for them to last at least another half a month. None of them had expected that the matter they were worrying about just half an hour ago would be resolved so quickly.
It was a pity that Li Chonglou, the person involved, was not in the same mood as them.
During this time, he had tried several methods, but he could not find a way to upgrade his Tai Chi. Although he had already healed all the hidden injuries in his body, what he cared about now was his soul.
He had the strength of the peak of the seventh level, yet he could only exert three levels of power. This feeling was more uncomfortable than being cursed.
After all, if one were cursed, one would generally give up on the idea of using internal energy. But his situation was that he could see it, but could not use it!
Therefore, Li Chonglou was the only one present who couldn't be happy. An Lao, sensing his emotions, didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Just then, An Lao noticed the disturbance from afar and couldn't help but wake Li Chonglou.
"Little Li, it seems someone is coming."
Li Chonglou took over his body and looked in the direction of the sound. Indeed, the commotion in the distant strange beast group was obvious. In such a situation, it was hard to find any other possibility besides outsiders arriving.
But who could it be?
Heizi?
Li Chonglou's first thought was Heizi. The safe zone was still in the Black Spirit stage, and everyone was hiding in the camp. Who else would risk danger to come out?
Furthermore, the area outside the safe zone was originally Heizi's territory. It was highly likely that they would encounter other strangers here, which would most likely be Heizi.
Li Chonglou's brow furrowed slightly. Whether it was Heizi or not, his plan was going to be disrupted. The terrifying aspect of the Pulse Concealment was precisely the ring of corpses beneath his feet. He didn't want others to discover it like this.
"Forget it, it's already lucky to be able to hunt so many at once. One cannot be too greedy."
Li Chonglou muttered to himself. Then, he intentionally restrained his strength. After blasting apart a strange beast that was closest to him, he drew out the black sword behind his back again.
Swish!
Another wave of sword energy cleared away the strange beasts within a five-meter radius. Li Chonglou took advantage of this gap, leaped lightly, and rushed towards the direction of the commotion.
He had to confirm whether it was a human or a ghost. If it was really just Heizi, and their strength and numbers were not great, he wouldn't mind making them supplies for Old Lin and the others.
When he landed, his aura had completely disappeared. Even the smell of blood from killing tens of thousands of strange beasts vanished without a trace. In the midst of the berserk beast swarm, he seemed to become invisible!
This was precisely why Li Chonglou was confident in checking. When it came to concealing one's aura, those who practiced Pulse Concealment truly feared no one!
About five minutes later, Li Chonglou finally hid among the beast swarm and clearly saw the approaching individuals. His expression immediately froze.
Tie Lao? And Old Wang from the tavern?
Li Chonglou's first reaction was why the two of them were here. His second reaction was why the two of them were together?
"Could they be looking for me?"
Li Chonglou rubbed his chin. Before entering, he had already guessed that someone must have wanted him to experience all of this, guiding him step by step to this place.
This thought was further confirmed after he entered.
However, before this, Li Chonglou had always suspected the Wu family, intending for him to help them capture the traitor Wei En. Judging from the mission assigned to him, this possibility was also very high.
But there was a very obvious doubt in this: Wei En had to be of such value.
However, after interacting with him, Li Chonglou didn't feel anything mysterious about him, unless that guy was hiding too deeply.
Now, Tie Lao's appearance also gave Li Chonglou more to consider.
Perhaps it was related to the General Bureau as well?
Tie Lao and Old Wang cooperated quite well. Although their strengths were not on the same level, Tie Lao did not use his true strength, only about five layers, similar to Old Wang.
Coupled with the fact that the strange beasts here were only at the third level, the two of them were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. However, as they went deeper, the strange beasts within gradually became more ferocious.
The strange beasts that reacted to them changed from a distance of three meters to five meters. It was important to note that the strange beasts here were packed shoulder to shoulder. This extra two meters directly meant that for every wave of charging beasts, there were at least ten more!
Therefore, their speed also began to slow down.
"Senior Tie Lao, do you smell a very strange odor?"
As the two of them got closer to where Li Chonglou had previously been, Old Wang began to notice something was wrong with the air. The experienced Tie Lao, with a grim expression, said, "That's the smell of blood. Without a certain amount of corpses, such an odor cannot be produced!"
Old Wang's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately turned grim.
"Uh, Senior Tie Lao, how about we change direction? The distance is about the same."
Tie Lao ignored him, continuing to slaughter the strange beasts while heading towards the center of the beast swarm.
