Chapter 270: Destroy the Giant Beast and Leave the Valley

They rushed all the way without looking back. After two quarters of an hour, they finally got away from the violent giant bear.

They stopped and looked at each other. At this time, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

There won’t be a wave of enemies blocking the way in every direction...

This is the thought that everyone has in their mind.

They are not fools. After experiencing these waves of escape, they have understood their own situation.

They seem to be trapped in this valley. If they want to leave, they must choose a direction to successfully break out.

But the current situation is that they are too weak and can’t beat those guards at all.

The atmosphere in the team is heavy, and everyone’s face is full of fatigue and anxiety.

Tieyi’s eyes swept across the faces of the team members. He knew that now was the time for him as the captain to stand up and stabilize the morale.

"Everyone sit down first and take a breath." Tieyi motioned the team members to sit on the ground. He found a slightly dry stone to sit down and began to analyze with a serious expression.

"We have tried several directions, and each direction has powerful biological guards. This is not a coincidence, it is likely to be some kind of mechanism in this area."

The team members looked at each other, and someone whispered, "Then can we not get out?"

"No," Gu Yang shook his head, his voice firm, "There is always a way. We need to calm down and analyze it carefully."

Tie Yi rubbed his chest that was numbed by the giant bear, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, we need to find the rules of this area, or find the weaknesses of those creatures."

"Yes," a team member nodded, "Every time we encounter an enemy, we fight head-on, but our strength is obviously not dominant. We need to change tactics."

"Change tactics?" Gu Yang raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

"We can try to induce," the team member said excitedly, "such as setting a trap, or attracting them in some way, and then taking the opportunity to break through."

"This method sounds good, but we need time to prepare, and we must have enough resources." Another team member added.

Gu Yang nodded. He knew that this plan was risky, but at least it was better than blindly rushing.

"We can use the terrain of this forest to set up traps. As for resources, we can use everything around us, such as trees, vines, and even our own equipment."

"Then let's scout the surrounding terrain first and find the most suitable place to set traps." A team member suggested.

"Okay, let's split into groups and scout quietly without attracting the attention of any creatures." Tieyi quickly made a plan, "Gu Yang, Xiaoyun, you are responsible for the left side; Xiao Li and I are responsible for the right side. The others stay here and prepare materials and weapons."

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison.

The team acted quickly, and everyone was cautious, fearing that they would cause unnecessary trouble.

As time went by, they found a low-lying area on the road they took for the first time, surrounded by tall trees, forming a natural circular arena.

"This is the best place." Gu Yang pointed to the map, "We can set traps here, lure those fire beasts in, and then attack from a high place."

"Okay, but we need speed." Tieyi looked at the sun gradually setting in the sky, "Complete the preparations before dark."

So, the team began busy preparations. They used vines to make traps and made simple weapons with branches and stones.

Everyone went all out, because they knew that this might be their only chance.

As night fell, everything was ready.

Everyone hid under the cover of trees and began to rest, preparing to lure the enemy to come at dawn tomorrow.

Gu Yang clenched the long knife in his hand, his eyes were firm and resolute.

Next time, they must break through successfully.

Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

If these terrifying creatures attacked them at the same time, except for a few people, the other team members might stay here forever.

It must be, it must be before these creatures launch a siege together, and successfully break out of the valley!

Time passed, and when the first ray of dawn on the horizon broke through the darkness, everyone in the team cheered up from a short rest.

Tieyi signaled the team members to check their equipment, and when everything was ready, they started to act.

Gu Yang and Xiaoyun moved silently to the designated location. Their mission was to attract the attention of the group of fire beasts.

The two held a torch made of hay and flammable materials in their hands. After lighting it, the smoke drifted with the wind, alerting the herd of giant beasts.

The herd of flame giant beasts began to gather, and their roars shook half of the valley.

Gu Yang and Xiao Yun began to slowly retreat, inducing the herd of giant beasts to move in the direction of the trap.

Tie Yi and Xiao Li watched everything from a high place, ready to assist at any time.

The bows in their hands were already loaded with arrows, just waiting for the best time.

The herd of giant beasts chased Gu Yang and Xiao Yun like an enraged buffalo.

The two were extremely fast, but they could only barely keep a distance from the herd of giant beasts.

Finally, they came to the natural circular arena.

Gu Yang and Xiao Yun quickly climbed a big tree to avoid the pursuit of the herd of giant beasts.

The herd of flame giant beasts plunged into the trap area, and their huge bodies triggered the trap hidden under the ground.

"Now!" Tie Yi's voice rang out in the team.

Then, arrows and stones flew from the air and rained down on the beasts.

The beasts struggled in pain and anger, but fell deeper and deeper into the traps that had been set up in advance.

The feet of a fire beast were entangled by vines, and it lost its balance and fell to the ground with a bang.

Other beasts were also hit one after another, and their size and strength became no advantage in front of such traps.

The team members took the opportunity to attack from all sides, and arrows and throwing weapons continued to cause damage to the beasts.

Although the group of fire beasts was powerful, their threat began to weaken significantly in this passive situation.

Angry roars echoed in the valley, and they struggled to get rid of the vines entangled on their bodies.

However, the traps set up by the team were cleverly designed, and even these behemoths could hardly escape.

Gu Yang and Xiao Yun jumped from the tree and landed on the back of a fire beast trapped in a trap.

The long knife in Gu Yang's hand flashed coldly in the sun. He aimed at the neck of the giant beast and chopped it down with one knife.

"Puchi..."

The sound of cutting meat sounded, and hot blood gushed out like a fountain. The fire giant beast suddenly roared, and the next moment, the flames burned fiercely, forcing Gu Yang back.

The giant beast wrapped in flames struggled in pain, and its roar seemed to be calling its companions.

Gu Yang and Xiao Yun quickly rolled out of the flames to avoid being burned by the flames.

Around them, other team members were also fighting fiercely with the group of fire giant beasts.

Tieyi's arrow accurately shot a giant beast's eye, and the giant beast howled in pain and lost its direction.

Xiao Li also threw a stone to hit another giant beast that was about to attack.

Everyone in the team was playing their own specialties and trapping the group of fire giant beasts firmly in the trap.

Although the group of fire giant beasts was large in number, their actions became clumsy under the constraints of the trap and they could not exert their due combat effectiveness.

The team members took advantage of the situation and attacked the beasts with their weapons, aiming at their vital points as much as possible.

As time passed, the team members continued to fight desperately with the beasts.

Several team members followed Gu Yang and focused their fire on the same beast.

"Roar--"

At a certain moment, a shrill roar sounded, and the group of flame beasts finally suffered its first casualty.

With the fall of the first flame beast, the morale of the team was greatly boosted.

Their attacks became more fierce, and everyone was fighting with all their strength.

Gu Yang swung his long sword, and every swing brought up a blood mist.

His movements were sharp, and his eyes revealed firmness and decisiveness.

He knew that this battle was not only about his own life and death, but also about the fate of the entire team.

Xiaoyun flexibly shuttled among the group of beasts. The short sword in her hand was like a venomous snake, and each stab accurately hit the weakness of the beast.

Although she was petite, she showed amazing courage and strength on the battlefield.

Facing the flames, she completely relied on the rich power of the Nine Netherworld to resist, and did not dodge at all.

Tieyi and Xiao Li provided support from a high place. Their arrows and throwing weapons were like the sickle of the god of death, constantly attacking the flame beasts that wanted to break out.

Whenever the beasts tried to gather and counterattack, Tieyi's arrows could always suppress them in time.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the number of flame beasts gradually decreased, but the remaining beasts seemed to be more violent, their flames were more blazing, and their attacks were more fierce.

Some members of the team began to show signs of fatigue and scars, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted, and no one retreated.

At this moment, a flame beast roared loudly, and the flames on its body surged, as if it wanted to burn everything around it to ashes.

Its target was Gu Yang, as if it wanted to defeat this human who had caused them great harm in one fell swoop.

Facing the oncoming flame beast, Gu Yang took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this would be a life-and-death contest.

Gu Yang charged at the beast, his figure looking particularly small in the firelight. Just before the collision, Gu Yang rolled over and dodged the beast's impact.

The fire beast's momentum was too strong and it failed to stop in time. Its body hit a tree heavily, and flames splashed everywhere.

Gu Yang did not give the beast any chance to breathe. He immediately jumped onto the beast's back, resisting the blazing flames, and swung his long sword again. This time, his goal was the beast's spine.

"Sizzle!" The long sword cut into the flesh, and the fire beast let out a heart-wrenching roar. Its body began to twist wildly, trying to throw Gu Yang off.

But Gu Yang stood on the beast's back and rose and fell, constantly stabilizing his center of gravity to prevent himself from falling.

At the same time, his long sword kept leaving deep wounds on the beast's back.

Finally, under Gu Yang's repeated attacks, the fire beast finally fell to the ground exhausted and could no longer stand up.

At the last moment of the battle, the remaining group of fire beasts could no longer form an effective resistance, and everyone in the team saw the dawn of victory.

After a fierce battle, the last fire beast fell to the ground, its flames gradually extinguished, and the whole valley returned to peace.

The team members sat on the ground exhausted, their faces covered with sweat and blood, but their eyes were full of joy and relief.

They knew that they succeeded. With the demise of the fire beast, they finally broke through the siege of the valley and gained freedom.

After a while, everyone recovered some of their physical strength and prepared to start again.

"Let's go." Gu Yang stood up first and patted the dust on his body.

His eyes swept over the team members around him. Everyone had scars, but their eyes revealed an indescribable tenacity and hope for life.

They had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. Now, they needed to leave this dangerous place and go to a safer area.

"We must walk fast and not let the creatures in other directions notice."

Tieyi's voice was filled with unquestionable determination. He turned and walked towards the outside of the valley, followed by Xiaoyun and other team members.

They passed through the dense woods and stepped on the gravel path. Everyone remained on high alert, fearing that every bush around them might hide potential threats.

The sun gradually rose, and the temperature in the forest continued to rise, but compared with the previous fire beast, this heat was nothing.

After a while, they finally came to the exit of the valley. A small river stretched in front of them, and the clear river water sparkled under the sunlight.

Tieyi signaled the team members to stop. They needed to take this opportunity to replenish water and take a short rest.

Xiaoyun squatted by the river, scooped up water with his hands and drank a few sips, then wiped the sweat and blood on his face with his wet hands.

Other team members also gathered around, some washed the blood on their faces, and some lay directly by the river and drank water in big gulps.

"We must rest here for a while and then move on." Gu Yang looked around and made sure there was no danger. He began to arrange for the team members to take turns to rest to maintain their physical strength.

Tieyi nodded, and took Xiao Li to climb up a nearby tree again. They needed to observe the surrounding situation from a high place to ensure the safety of the team.

Time was running out. After a short rest, Tieyi jumped down from the tree again.

His eyes were firm and his voice was full of strength: "We can't stay here for too long. We must leave this area as soon as possible while it's still light."

The team members nodded one after another. They knew that Tieyi was right.

In this unknown land, everything is full of variables. Only by moving forward can we find hope for life.

Gu Yang took the lead to cross the stream, followed by Xiaoyun and other team members.

They walked with firm steps. Although they were tired, their faith in their hearts supported them to move forward. (End of this chapter)
