The Burning Flame Sparrow looked somewhat surprised at the fleeing ant. It felt it hadn't inflicted any damage on the ant, yet the ant indeed let out a wail. Could it have been mistaken?
As it pondered, it noticed the ant had already fled far away.
The Burning Flame Sparrow shook its head, thinking it was overthinking. How could a mere Eighth Rank War General Level small ant possibly withstand its attack?
It flapped its wings fiercely, pursuing again towards Nirvana.
Nirvana watched as the Burning Flame Sparrow chased once more and finally relaxed.
It quickened its pace, knowing it could not let the opponent attack again, or it would surely arouse suspicion.
A breath later, Nirvana rapidly crawled past the hiding spot of Chu Chen and Lei Yao.
By then, the Burning Flame Sparrow had caught up, letting out a mocking cry as it swooped towards Nirvana to attack.
This time, Nirvana didn't dodge but waited in place for the opponent's arrival.
The Burning Flame Sparrow hesitated momentarily but quickly realized the ant must have understood it couldn't escape and wanted to fight to the death.
As the Burning Flame Sparrow dove towards the large tree where Lei Yao was hiding, a dazzling bolt of lightning slashed at it.
The speed of this thunderbolt was terrifying; it barely had time to close its eyes.
In the next moment, it felt a tingling in its neck, followed by spinning sensations; eventually, it lost consciousness completely.
At this moment, a massive head rolled to Chu Chen's feet.
Seeing this, Chu Chen waved to the two beasts, saying, "Nicely done, go deal with those two Star Beasts." Then he took out a dagger and began collecting materials from the Burning Flame Sparrow.
The two beasts let out a joyful growl, their four limbs powering out of the hiding place.
Now, the Abyss Wolf and Earth Demon Lizard were tangled with the Wind Burst Mad Lion.
Although the Wind Burst Mad Lion was only Third Rank Commander Level, it held its ground in a one against three scenario, and the longer the battle went on, the weaker it felt.
This left the two beasts quite frustrated; when the Burning Flame Sparrow was around, fighting was relatively easy, but now that it was gone, the pressure was on.
The most perplexing thing for the two beasts was, ever since that ant appeared, the Wind Burst Mad Lion's attacks became exceedingly sharp, and the Burning Flame Sparrow hadn't returned after dealing with an Eighth Rank War General Level ant.
As the two beasts wondered, they suddenly noticed the ant had returned and brought along a monkey.
When the two beasts saw Lei Yao, they finally realized they had been deceived.
However, the two beasts had no intention of leaving; a mere Eighth Rank war general-level monkey wasn't enough of a threat.
Zhang Yuyan watched Lei Yao and Nirvana charge, letting out a sigh of relief.
She had been pursued for an hour; if not for the Wind Burst Mad Lion's speed, she might have had to employ some tactics.
Upon the initial encounter with the three Star Beasts, she had intended to seek help from Chu Chen, but judging by the suction from the Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant, he hadn't moved.
In the crisis-ridden Secret Realm, Zhang Yuyan couldn't determine Chu Chen's situation. If he had just fought a battle, she'd only be a burden by going over.
Thinking like this, Zhang Yuyan chose a middle path: to detour around. If Chu Chen was fine, he'd certainly notice and quickly come to assist.
Once Lei Yao and Nirvana joined the battlefield, they went directly for the Earth Demon Lizard.
Wind Burst Mad Lion felt a significant reduction in pressure, letting out a resounding lion's roar as it fearlessly leaped at the Abyss Wolf.
The Abyss Wolf dared not face him head-on and quickly twisted its body to avoid the lion's attack, utilizing its speed to engage in a maneuvering battle.
As far as the Abyss Wolf was concerned, as long as it could hold the lion for a moment, once the Earth Demon Lizard dealt with those two Guardian Beasts, victory would belong to them.
Chu Chen also came over now, looked up at Zhang Yuyan, and said with a smile, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan shook her head, then jumped off the back of the Wind Burst Mad Lion.
For safety reasons, she had been riding on the back of the Wind Burst Mad Lion, but now with no safety concerns, it was natural to get off swiftly.
After all, the Wind Burst Mad Lion was still fighting; sitting on it was too bumpy, and it also had to care for the master's safety, which constrained its fight.
"Luckily you arrived in time, or I'd be in danger," Zhang Yuyan said with a smile.
Chu Chen didn't reveal her intentions but instead asked with a smile, "Good to hear you're okay. Should we let the Wind Burst Mad Lion come back and rest for a while?"
Zhang Yuyan shook her head at this suggestion, "No need, this revenge needs to be personal."
Chu Chen was somewhat taken aback. Since meeting her, the impression he had of Zhang Yuyan was always emotionally stable, almost comparable to a Kapibara in stability.
To make her this angry, it was obvious it wasn't just about being chased.
Curious, Chu Chen asked quietly, "What made you so angry?"
Zhang Yuyan didn't hide anything and narrated her ordeal.
Moments later, Chu Chen understood why Zhang Yuyan was so upset.
It wasn't by chance that Zhang Yuyan encountered the Abyss Wolf and other three Star Beasts; she had discovered a Ninth-Grade Star Treasure, the Wind and Fire Grass, guarded by a group of Wind Burst Rhinoceros Beetles.
Taking advantage of their resting state, Zhang Yuyan planned for the Holy Light Elf to steal it.
Everything was proceeding smoothly until the Abyss Wolf trio arrived just as the Holy Light Elf was about to succeed.
The resting Rhinoceros Beetles were startled awake; Zhang Yuyan quickly recalled the Holy Light Elf.
The final result was not getting the Wind and Fire Grass but being chased by the Rhinoceros Beetles.
After escaping the chase, she found that the three Star Beasts were also after her, leaving her no choice but to continue fleeing.
Chu Chen truly sympathized with this bad luck; it was almost unparalleled.
It's no wonder Zhang Yuyan was so furious. If it were him, he might be even more incensed.
Nirvana, at this time, had removed the disguise, and its aura returned to Eighth Rank War General Level.
Yet the Earth Demon Lizard was a Third Rank Commander Level presence, boasting Dual Attribute of Earth and Magic Elements, its power was terrifying, and the Dark Element was corrosive.
Even strength-focused Nirvana was no match for it.
Each attack from the Earth Demon Lizard forced Nirvana back, and under the effects of the Dark Element, the Insect Armor began to fracture.
But it wasn't entirely comfortable either, with Nirvana upfront, Lei Yao could act opportunistically; each time the Earth Demon Lizard attacked Nirvana, it took a few punches from Lei Yao.
It's known that Lei Yao's skills are at the Great Success Realm; each punch is powerful, and the Lightning Fist in the Great Success Realm can deliver seven punches instantly.
The Earth Element Armor of the Earth Demon Lizard, under Lei Yao's fierce attack, finally shattered under the strain.
Seeing this, Lei Yao beamed with joy, sidling up to the Earth Demon Lizard, activating Thunderbolt Fist instantly.
A resounding "bang" was heard as the Earth Demon Lizard stumbled, nearly knocked over, a massive bloody hole appeared on its flank.
