CHAPTER 529: DEADLY SITUATION!

Core Area:

Jeremy Night’s mind is spinning. He had to make a decision now. Though he couldn’t see anyone. But he was sure that he was exposed.

Swoosh!

The next second, he appeared outside of the tree hole and landed on the ground.

Devon, who is riding on the big cat, saw this sudden change. He realises that someone was hiding inside the tree hole.

He was glad that someone was here to take the blame. He didn’t even glance at the other person. He asked the big cat to go past him.

Roar!

The Lifeline beast roared. It immediately reached the human beast tamer and went past him. If the Black Centipede appears it would first target the human here.

Devon didn’t even see the Beast Tamer’s face. Otherwise, he would be shocked. But he didn’t know the person had seen his face.

Jeremy Night was dumbfounded. He was ready for the fight. But the person went past him at the last moment.

He feels abnormal. The sense of crisis didn’t leave. He started using the eye ability to scan the place. Since the person was coming in this direction.

There is a chance that he is fleeing. Otherwise, they would have fought right now. After figuring out the matter, he left the place.

He didn’t go towards the tunnel side. Instead he chose the north direction to flee. He wants to find another big shade tree in the distance.

He doubts the Corrupted beasts could sense him over 100 metres away. He went further deep into the woods. He almost forgot that there could be other dangerous beasts living nearby.

A few minutes later, he managed to find a suitable giant shade tree. It took a few more minutes to dig up the hole with a starlight blade.

After doing that he covered the entrance with twigs and leaves. But he left a small hole in it to observe the outside scene.

Meanwhile,

The Tier-6 Black Centipede caught others one by one.

It had a full meal in 20 minutes. Except the leader, the rest of the Tier-4 Beast Tamers died along with their lifeline beasts.

They wouldn’t have expected they would become food for the Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts. The Black Centipede is now tracing the Tier-5 Beast Tamer’s aura.

The beast caught the scent of the lifeline beast and the beast tamer. It started following the traces. It didn’t take long for the beast to appear near the Giant Shade Tree.

Suddenly, the Black Centipede caught the scent of another human. But this new scent is going somewhere.

Swoosh!

The Black Centipede thought the new scent belonged to the same team. The human could be one of their members who fled from the scenes earlier.

The beast started following the new traces. It’s moving so fast. The wind force generated by its movements.

It’s sweeping away the nearby vegetation, rocks and stones on the way.

Jeremy Night is hiding inside the tree hole. His heart palpitates all of a sudden. He then looks at the outside scene through the window.

He spotted a corrupted beast in his vision. He then uses his eye ability to zoom in. Then he saw a terrifying beast coming towards him.

"Black Centipede," Jeremy uttered in shock.

He felt a terrible sense of crisis again. Now he understood why he felt tense earlier. He was exposed.

Swoosh!

In a flash, the Black Centipede reaches the giant shade tree. Before it could attack, Jeremy left the tree hole in a flash.

Boom!

The Black Centipede struck the shade tree. The big tree shook fiercely in the end. But there was no sign of humans in the tree. Then it spotted the Beast Tamer fleeing.

tchk-tchk!

Swoosh!

The humungous body of the Centipede Beast turns around and looks at the human prey. Seeing that human prey is running away from the place.

It started to give chase.

On the other hand, Jeremy Night’s heart is overwhelmed with a sense of crisis. It’s the second time he is facing a Tier-6 Corrupted Beast here.

He was right. He is feeling a stronger sense of danger than the typical Tier-5 Corrupted Beast. It could only be brought by a Tier-6 Beast.

Not only that, the size of the beast is larger than the Tier-5 Beast. It’s a second clue. If it were Tier-7 Beast and above, he would have frozen on the spot.

He knew the sense of danger given by Leader Gisela and other elders.

Because of it he was able to judge the strength of the beasts. Right now, he is trying to find a hideout. To avoid the Centipede, he is moving in a zig zig manner.

If it was in a straight line, the beast would have caught me long ago. But he could still feel the beast chasing him from behind.

There is no option of fighting back in his mind. His body is weak. The Tier-2 physique won’t be able to withstand the attack of Tier-6 Beast.

Swoosh!

At the same time, the black centipede understood the pattern. The human prey is fleeing in a difficult path to cut the trail.

The Black Centipede then uses its ability. Hundreds of legs were energized and started moving faster. The speed was so fast that it went shooting towards the prey.

Jeremy Night’s heart tightened. The sense of crisis shot up. He turned around and saw the beast coming towards him like a shooting star.

The beast will reach him in a fraction of seconds. He didn’t have enough time to evade. His eyes flashed with anger. He used a movement method.

"Explosive Steps!"

He shifted his body. Yet it was too late.

Boom!

He avoided being caught by the deadly mouth. Instead he was struck by the massive body. Like a stone, he was sent away flying.

Swoosh!

The body goes through like a projectile. It crosses several distances in the mid air before crashing into the rough terrain.

It’s filled with stones of uneven sizes, sharp rocks and heavy boulders.

Pfff!

There is a narrow space between the mountain rocks. Jeremy Night struck in between. His whole body was covered in blood.
