Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Bear Demon Siege

Fang Lin laughed. This Zhou Ji was really audacious, daring to say these things in front of him.

Steward Shen shook his head, “No need.”

Hearing him, Zhou Ji looked somewhat regretful, “Steward Shen, given the fact you have Fang Lin with you, it’s going to be tough for you to survive on the Hundred Beast Mountain. If you walk with us, I believe with Steward Shen’s power you should be able to survive till the end.”

“No need.” These were the simple three words again. Steward Shen’s attitude was very clear—he would not abandon Fang Lin.

This surprised Fang Lin a little but warmed his heart as well.

“Well, if that’s the case, then I will not say anything more. Zhishui, let’s go with us.” Zhou Ji did not waste any more words.

“Zhou Ji, let Steward Shen and Fang Lin come with us.” Zhou Zhishui said.

“I accept for Steward Shen, but definitely not for Fang Lin. I wouldn’t want the Crown Prince to see Fang Lin walking with us.” Zhou Ji said coldly.

Zhou Ruoxi also tried to persuade, “It’s just a trip, there’s no need for this right?”

Zhou Ji turned to look at Fang Lin with contempt, “It’s not impossible. If he can kneel and beg me, I would let him walk with us.”

“You are going too far!” Zhou Zhishui was enraged.

Zhou Ruoxi sighed. Among these people, she had the least say. Zhou Ji held the most power.

Moreover, it was likely that the other six imperial household members regarded Fang Lin in the same dismissive manner. They would unquestionably take Zhou Ji’s side.

Fang Lin laughed, “No matter, we will move with Steward Shen.”

Zhou Zhishui saw that Fang Lin could still laugh and she felt even more frustrated. Helplessly, she could only give Fang Lin an apologetic look.

“Let’s move.” Zhou Ji uttered with indifference, and turned to leave.

Zhou Zhishui and Zhou Ruoxi both looked at Fang Lin and Steward Shen one more time, then followed the rest as they left.

“Now, we are the only two left.” Said Fang Lin with a carefree countenance, not worried at all.

However, Steward Shen did not share the same optimism as Fang Lin. Now that only the two of them were left, even though both of them had substantial powers, surviving in the perilous Hundred Beast Mountain would be quite challenging.

····

“You, go scout ahead.” Zhou Ji impatiently said to Ma Mingwen.

Ma Mingwen was stunned, then rage filled his face. Zhou Ji was obviously treating him as the disposable scout.

Zhou Zhishui and two Pill Alliance stewards were taken aback.

“Zhou Ji, what are you doing? If you want to scout, do it yourself!” Zhou Zhishui said with great dissatisfaction.

“Zhou Ji, you’re going too far, after all, he is one of the Pill Alliance members.” Zhou Xiruo added.

Zhou Ji sneered, “Pill Alliance member or not, who cares here? If he wants to stay with us, he needs to pay the price. I won’t be carrying any worthless burden.”

“That’s right, Zhou Ji is right. This guy is weak and will only be a drag, we’d rather make him useful.” Another royal youth said, fully agreeing with Zhou Ji’s approach.

The two stewards of Pill Alliance wanted to intervene, but they were surrounded by the other youngsters who looked at them threateningly.

“Both of you, I have already shown you mercy by not sending you ahead. Do not speak unnecessarily.” Zhou Ji sneered.

Seeing this, the two stewards could only swallow their words, anger filled their hearts but they dared not to show it, they felt regret for coming along with the royal group.

Ma Mingwen regretted his decision. If he knew this was going to happen, he would have chosen to go with Fang Lin, at least they wouldn’t have been treated this inhumanely.

“Hurry up, don’t dawdle.” Zhou Ji urged, pushing Ma Mingwen.

Zhou Zhishui’s face was gloomy. She did not expect the royals to act like this—it was unthinkable.

Zhou Ruoxi shook her head at Zhou Zhishui, indicating her to refrain from further comments.

Ma Mingwen’s face turned pale with fear. He did not want to die, but he had no choice but to follow since he was under their control.

Ma Mingwen held a sword in his hand as he cautiously moved forward, trembling all the way.

Ma Mingwen poked around with his sword in the tall grasses and found nothing unusual. He let out a sigh of relief and crossed the grass.

The people at the back immediately followed. The royal family all had blatant smiles on their faces, while the others looked stern.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” Suddenly, Ma Mingwen’s scream echoed from the front, alerting everyone.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A giant Bear Demon appeared holding a person—it was Ma Mingwen.

But at this moment, Ma Mingwen’s head was already gone. Blood gushed from the neck, sprinkling all over the Bear Demon, making it look more ferocious.

The Bear Demon seemed frenzied, biting on Ma Mingwen’s headless body. Everyone watched as the scene unfolded, with blood draining from their faces.

Soon after, three more Bear Demons appeared, surrounding everyone.

The Bear Demons’ eyes flickered with cruelty and greed. They obviously viewed Zhou Ji and his group as their food.

“Break through!” Zhou Ji shouted, taking the lead by attacking a Bear Demon.

The others also followed Zhou Ji’s lead, fully launching their attack on a single Bear Demon, hoping to escape this place.

But after engaging in combat, everyone realised with a jolt—the Bear Demon was incredibly powerful. Its cultivation had astonishingly reached the three transformations’ fivefold realm.

A Bear Demon at the fivefold of three transformations and three more at the twofold, it was nothing short of a disaster for everyone.

At the fivefold of three transformations, the Bear Demon was equivalent to a fivefold human clan Heavenly Origin powerful beast, whereby the latter was stronger than it seemed.

Among the people, Zhou Ji, who had the highest cultivation base, was only at the threefold Heavenly Origin realm. He was no match for the Bear Demon.

Thud!

The Bear Demon slammed down with its palm. Even though Zhou Ji tried his best to block the attack, he could not stand against the overwhelming power of the Bear Demon.

Zhou Ji was knocked and sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth.

The two stewards of the Pill Alliance looked at each other. They both were at the threefold Heavenly Origin realm, and despite their unwillingness, they had to face the demon, or else everyone would die.

Joining forces, they activated their treasures. Comparatively, they were stronger than Zhou Ji and could temporarily withstand the Bear Demon.

Others dealt with the remaining three slightly weaker Bear Demons. Fortunately, due to their numbers, they did not suffer any casualties yet.

Roar!!!

Just then, the strongest Bear Demon let out a roar, resulting in more Bear Demons appearing from all directions.

At this scene, everyone’s faces turned pale. Despair loomed over their hearts.

“Are we all going to die here?” A royal youth yelled, eyes nearly bulging out.

Zhou Ji crawled up from the ground, but froze as he saw more than a dozen Bear Demons appearing around him.

“Looks like they’ve run into some trouble.” From a distance, Fang Lin and Steward Shen watched everything unfold, a smirk appeared on Fang Lin’s face.
