Wang Tiankuang's words even made Ye Tian doubt the loyalty of the Wang family's guards. Such a sudden change was definitely not a simple matter.
"Anyway, we will soon reach Black Wind Stronghold. At that time, we will know if they are truly loyal," Ye Tian thought. With that in mind, he politely exchanged a few words with Wang Tiankuang and then turned to lead the way.
"Sky Mad Second Master, since that's the case, let's get going and quickly leave this dangerous place," the others said as they saw Ye Tian leave, eagerly following behind him, fearful of lagging behind and being close to Wang Tiankuang.
Seeing that Ye Tian did not take the opportunity to strike, Wang Tiankuang let out a sigh of relief. In truth, he was not trying to be mysterious; he simply wanted to temporarily ease the relationship with Ye Tian to save his own life. However, he did not expect that this would inadvertently confuse Ye Tian deeply. Yet, this point went unnoticed by the rough-and-tumble Wang Tiankuang.
"Damn it, once my eyes recover, none of you will escape alive!" Wang Tiankuang cursed under his breath after feeling relieved. He harbored a deep hatred for those who dared to betray him and wished he could tear them to pieces.
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Wang Tiankuang tried to see ahead carefully. No matter how hard he tried, everything beyond five meters remained a blur. Given this situation, he could only cautiously follow behind the others, moving lightly on his feet, afraid that a moment's carelessness would lead him into another trap.
Thanks to Ye Tian's leadership and everyone's excessive caution regarding the poisonous creatures in the traps, everyone proceeded carefully during this journey and managed to pass through safely without anyone falling into a trap.
About two hours later, they arrived at the forest where the Cold Family's disciples were resting. It was nearly midnight by then; the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, casting no glow.
"Let's rest for a bit. We will head towards Black Wind Stronghold after dawn," Ye Tian instructed the group before finding a flat spot to sit against a tree trunk.
The members of the Wang family had been on high alert throughout their journey. Now that they had safely passed through what felt like a death zone filled with traps, they all sighed in relief as their tense nerves relaxed. Before long, one by one, they fell asleep.
"Leaf Young Master, what's wrong with him?" Fifth Brother was awakened by the arrival of the Wang family members. He glanced at Wang Tiankuang, who was still sitting there awake, and asked Ye Tian.
"I don't know," Ye Tian shook his head and then asked in return, "Was there anything unusual when I left?"
The so-called unusual event he referred to was the attack of the beasts, which Fifth Brother naturally understood. He laughed heartily and boasted, "With me here, what beast would dare to come?"
Ye Tian smiled and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "Elder Brother Five, are you trying to say your feet..."
Upon hearing this, Fifth Brother's face suddenly turned awkward. He said with a grin, "Leaf Young Master, are you going to hold this over me? That's not fair!"
Ye Tian nodded with a smile on his lips.
"These past two days have been much better; the smell has decreased a lot!" Fifth Brother said as he actually took off one of his shoes and socks, then lifted his foot up to sniff it vigorously.
"Elder Brother Five, stop it! I'm going to faint," Ye Tian exaggeratedly stepped back, pretending he couldn't handle it.
"Haha! Leaf Young Master, you..." Fifth Brother's words suddenly caught in his throat, and his expression shifted from laughter to fear in an instant.
"What happened?" Ye Tian asked in confusion.
"Behind... behind..." Fifth Brother's hand trembled as he pointed at something behind Ye Tian, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Haha, Elder Brother Five is trying to trick me again, right?" Ye Tian dismissed it casually. In their previous banter, this trick had been used by Fifth Brother no less than ten times.
Wang Tiankuang heard Fifth Brother's terrified voice and squinted his eyes to look in Ye Tian's direction. Despite his serious eye condition, the sight still shocked him greatly.
After a moment, Wang Tiankuang got up and ran without hesitation. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and the shock on his face quietly transformed into a look of glee.
Ye Tian noticed Wang Tiankuang's unusual behavior and felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that Fifth Brother was not joking; there was indeed something behind him that could frighten even a Martial Master like Wang Tiankuang.
Slowly turning his head, Ye Tian's eyes reflected two pairs of Azure Eyes belonging to a Giant Eye.
"Ah!"
Faced with the terrifying Giant Eye behind him, even Ye Tian couldn't help but let out a scream.
His body instinctively retreated until he was five zhang away before finally stopping.
"Elder Brother Five! Come back!" After stopping, Ye Tian shouted at the still-dazed Fifth Brother.
Fifth Brother was stunned by the Giant Eye until Ye Tian's shout snapped him back to reality. Realizing what was happening, he turned and ran back while shouting, "Brothers, wake up! Brothers, wake up!"
In fact, he didn't need to worry; Ye Tian's earlier scream had already awakened everyone. They were all staring at the hidden presence in the bushes, where only two pairs of green Giant Eyes were visible, rendered speechless by shock.
"What the hell is that?!" Fifth Brother exclaimed in horror.
"I don't know," Ye Tian replied solemnly, shaking his head slowly.
The two pairs of Giant Eyes moved up and down, both elongated and as long as an adult's body. Their eerie green glow illuminated the surroundings, and the eyeballs were only the size of a fist, appearing pale and ghostly, sending chills down one's spine.
"Is it a Demon Wolf?" Fifth Brother continued to ask, his tone still unable to regain calmness.
"It should be a serpent." Compared to Fifth Brother, Ye Tian had calmed down after the initial shock. Instead of panicking, he thought it better to devise a strategy because the lives of over five hundred people behind him were in his hands. If he panicked, not only would they be unable to counterattack, but they might not even have a chance to retreat.
"Elder Brother Five, tell the Brothers to retreat slowly. Remember, do not panic," Ye Tian said, keeping his eyes fixed on the two pairs of Giant Eyes before turning to Fifth Brother.
"Okay!" Fifth Brother replied and began to back away slowly. Although he often rambled on normally, in this moment of crisis, he would follow Ye Tian's instructions without hesitation.
Not long after Fifth Brother left, Ye Tian heard the rustling sound of footsteps behind him; it seemed that everyone was slowly retreating from this place.
Facing the quiet withdrawal of the crowd, the two pairs of Giant Eyes showed no signs of unusual behavior.
Seeing this, Ye Tian felt somewhat relieved and glanced toward where Wang Tiankuang was. However, upon looking, his heart suddenly sank.
At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky, and the forest was eerily silent. Where Wang Tiankuang had been just moments ago, there was not a trace of anyone left.
Ye Tian furrowed his brows tightly. Observing the Giant Eyes of the beast revealed its enormous size. With Wang Tiankuang having quietly escaped, if the beast launched an attack now, how could he defend himself with his own abilities?
Rustle...
Suddenly, one of the Giant Eyes moved. A bush taller than a person parted to the sides with a rustling sound.
Ye Tian did not act recklessly but instead focused intently on the two pairs of Giant Eye. In the deep night, those two pairs of Giant Eye resembled four dim ancient lamps, floating and mysterious.
"Why are these two beasts moving so in sync?" Ye Tianxin wondered, as there was no sign of separation when the Giant Eye moved; they remained aligned, one above the other, moving simultaneously.
After observing for a moment, Ye Tian slowly began to retreat. The others had quietly withdrawn to a distance of at least Hundred Zhang, and he saw no reason to stay any longer.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
As Ye Tian stepped back, the light from the Giant Eye suddenly vanished, leaving only the sound of rustling and the bushes being crushed by its massive body.
The dark clouds in the sky were swept away by the strong wind, and the moonlight gradually began to shine down again.
"Ha!"
Ye Tian took a heavy breath. With the moonlight, he clearly saw what that enormous body was.
It was a gigantic Giant Python Beast, with a girth of ten zhang, but while its thickness was evident, its length remained hidden. The four pairs of Giant Eye he had seen earlier all belonged to it, arranged side by side atop its massive head, making one’s scalp tingle at first glance.
"This is..." Ye Tianxin gasped in astonishment. The python's girth alone was ten zhang; if its length were considered, it would likely exceed five Hundred Zhang!
As Ye Tianjing marveled at this sight, the Four-Eyed Python began to twist its enormous body and moved deeper into the forest. There were no signs of it attacking Ye Tian and the others, but just that seemingly casual movement was enough to easily snap trees as thick as two people embracing each other.
"Such a colossal creature possesses this kind of strength while moving; if it were to attack, I can't imagine how many of the more than five hundred people would still be alive!" Ye Tianxin thought in fear, goosebumps rising all over his body.
Crack, crack...
The giant python twisted its body, continuously moving deeper into the forest. No matter how it advanced, its tail remained unseen, and wherever it passed, trees were broken and sand and stones were sent flying, creating a truly terrifying scene.
"Could it have been lurking here all along?" Seeing the commotion caused by the giant python's movement, Ye Tianxin couldn't help but feel alarmed. The fact that it had silently appeared behind him earlier could only be explained this way.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. Such danger was lurking nearby, and he had been completely unaware. Wasn't this akin to playing with the lives of hundreds of people?
"Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have any intention to attack." Ye Tian let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful.
"Leaf Young Master..." Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. It was Fifth Brother, speaking in a hushed tone, afraid to raise his voice.
Ye Tian turned to look and saw Fifth Brother hiding behind a rock, waving at him incessantly.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Tian asked with a frown.
"We have nowhere to go!" Fifth Brother said in a panic.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tian asked again.
Fifth Brother glanced around as if ensuring that the Giant Eye was not present before he whispered, "That giant python is too long; we are trapped in the middle..."
