#159 - Chapter 159 Shadow Leopard
Crack!
Crack!
Under the flames, the entire forest world began to wail.
One tree after another turned into black charcoal in the flames, collapsing with a crash.
Even though many of them had histories spanning hundreds or even thousands of years.
In the face of the flames, unable to move, they were still defenseless.
Moreover, as the flames continued to burn, countless imps, in units of dozens or hundreds, guarded the areas where the fires started.
They were waiting!
And soon after, their wait was rewarded!
“Awoo!”
“Ooo!”
Suddenly, the roars of wild beasts echoed throughout the entire forest.
Rumble.
A bizarre but incredibly spectacular “earthquake” began to occur throughout the forest area.
Countless wild beasts, sensing the danger, frantically rushed out of the forest.
They crossed the raging flames, crossed the trees that had already turned into charcoal, charging towards the edge of the forest with an indomitable momentum.
During this process, the raging flames began to ignite everything they touched.
Their originally soft fur began to fuel the flames.
Under the stimulation of the fire on their pain nerves, these wild animals, whether carnivores or herbivores, became extremely ferocious!
Thus, under the raging fire, they frantically charged towards the demons who had ignited the flames with an indomitable momentum, determined to drag these damned enemies down with them.
But what about the other side?
The imps were clearly prepared.
Under Wu Wei's will and the orders of Imp Matron Caroline.
Countless specially made “weapons” were brought out by them.
However, these weapons were somewhat different from conventional ones.
The shapes of these weapons were more like “tripwires” used by some backward civilizations!
However, these “tripwires,” crafted by the hands of demon artisans, were covered with all kinds of狰狞terrifying iron shards.
“Awoo…!”
“Awoo awoo!”
Accompanied by countless wails, these brave beasts that charged out of the forest fire fell one after another onto the layers of tripwires.
Moreover, after the first batch of wild beasts fell, the remaining beasts would also fall, resulting in terrible trampling incidents with their own kind.
As more and more wild beasts fell.
Those imps who had been waiting impatiently immediately pounced on them, and with their merciful actions, quickly and accurately ended the pain of these wild beasts.
And in this process, the total amount of resources they collected also rose rapidly.
In addition to the meat resources, which were hundreds of times more abundant than those from the Niels, countless teeth and bones of the wild beasts were also collected by the imps.
These peculiar existences could all be exchanged for resource points.
It could be said that these imps were having a “great harvest”!
Many imps even stopped disliking the fact that these meats were now “civilized food” that had been cooked, and instead devoured them in large mouthfuls.
However, for the imps, good days, or good times, were always short-lived.
Just as they were enjoying this great harvest, four pairs of golden eyes stared intently at them….
——————————————
In short, apart from a few flying beasts, the vast majority of the beasts in the [Green Cage] could not directly pass through here.
The reason for saying the vast majority, rather than all.
Was because in this unchanging forest, there were always wondrous creatures born within it!
And that existence with four pairs of golden eyes was one of them!
“Swish!”
Just as those imps were still feasting, a purple figure swiftly streaked past them.
The next second, before these imps could notice anything unusual, their bodies suddenly began to separate!
They were already dead, but they had not yet realized it.
Pa pa pa.
As countless pieces of flesh fell to the ground, the elegant and powerful Shadow Panther squinted its eyes and licked its paw.
Like a king, tasting his spoils of war.
But the next second, after tasting the demons' foul-smelling, depraved blood, this Shadow Panther immediately gagged, losing all its elegance.
Shadow Panther, Level 55 Spirit Beast, a powerful beast with bloodline approaching Legendary!
If the Niels previously hunted by the imps were the kings of this world, then this Shadow Panther and its clan were the masters of this world.
Although the Niels possessed clans and culture, they could actually be considered the Shadow Panther's “slaves.”
Because in addition to worshiping the Shadow Panthers in their respective areas.
They would also offer the children of their clans as tribute to these terrifying and powerful beasts.
Even, in the Niels' culture.
The strength of the Shadow Panthers in each area directly represented the prosperity and power of their respective tribes!
It could be said that the Shadow Panthers were the true masters of this world called the Green Cage!
The beasts that had stepped through the fire earlier were incited by it to do such unnatural things.
————————————
Looking at the imps in front of him who had turned into minced meat, and recalling the imps' foul blood, the Shadow Panther with four pairs of golden eyes on its head left this area that it had guarded for hundreds of years with extreme annoyance.
It was going to hunt down more imps to stop them from continuing to destroy its home.
Although in the Shadow Panther's heart, the Niels were just a group of ugly monkeys who only knew how to “provide food” to it on a regular basis, and were not worth mentioning.
It would not risk its life for these Niels.
However, the act of burning the forest was completely different.
Because setting the forest on fire was equivalent to demolishing its own home.
Therefore, the Shadow Panther's heart was filled with hatred.
It wanted to kill every imp it saw, to let these ugly and weak monsters know what the forest king's anger was.
However, the Shadow Panther forgot one thing while slaughtering these imps.
That was, these imps had a master.
And their first master was not the high and mighty Abyss Lord.
But Imp Matron Caroline, who regarded them as her own children!
A pair of scarlet eyes, after seeing the imps' corpses, were filled with hatred, just like the Shadow Panther!
However, the Shadow Panther would not die today.
Because what awaited it would be a fate more terrifying than death.
“Capture it alive, and then take it to the bloodline contamination chamber with its valuable genes!”
