There were many of them who did not agree with that order. However, they put their weapons away and stared worriedly at the fearsome spiritual beasts which were charging towards them.
"Leader, it seems that you've truly been possessed by a ghost."
Uncle Ying laughed bitterly and shook his head in disappointment, "I don't know what kind of bewitching elixir this woman has administered to you which has made you trust her so blindly. You would even use the mercenaries as a gambling chip! However, since this is your order, we have no choice but to obey."
Thud!
Uncle Ying then threw the knife in his hand to the ground and lamented in agony, "I only hope that you don't regret your decision, Leader!"
Ye Ying gently pursed his lips. Regardless of how calm he looked, his clenched fist betrayed his true feelings!
Those spiritual beasts were drawing closer and closer to them. At the same time, he clenched his fist tighter and tighter.
However, he knew that he had no other way.
If they stepped out to fight, they would surely die!
Nevertheless, if it all goes according to Gu Ruoyun's words, perhaps they have a sliver of hope.
"Roar!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
A huge amount of spiritual beasts came charging towards them and their roaring shook the land. A few other spiritual beasts hovered in the sky as they all headed towards the same direction.
The World Destruction Mercenaries could not help but shrink away from the sight. Even though they have experienced countless battles, they could not help but feel uncertainty and their legs were almost about to give way. Some were even shaking with fear.
"This is it! We're finished! The spiritual beasts are right in front of us now!"
"Besides, these spiritual beasts are so fearsome that there's a high chance that we will become their meal tonight!"
"However, even if we retaliate, we might not be able to defeat them anyway. It now looks like though we've been able to successfully escape from the clutches of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries, we will still ultimately lose our lives in the Nemesis Forest."
The spiritual beasts at the forefront of the herd have arrived in front of the World Destruction Mercenaries. Those who were a little less courageous immediately shut their eyes, terrified of witnessing the bloodbath! However, they felt no pain. All they could feel was the piercing of a wild wind and nothing else.
Uncle Ying had initially decided to follow his Leader's orders. However, once the spiritual beasts have arrived in front of him, he had regretted his decision. He was aware that his chances of victory were extremely slim if he fought against these spiritual beasts but, regardless, he needed to give it a try!
For the World Destruction Mercenaries' glory!
Just as he bent down to pick up his large knife, he saw the fearsome spiritual beasts charging right past him. They kicked up a cloud of dust and did not even stop for a moment, as if enticed by some sort of treasure in front of them!
Uncle Ying was in shock. His finger paused at the hilt of his knife as he stared in astonishment at the herd of spiritual beasts. His brain was unable to comprehend the situation.
"What's the meaning of this? These spiritual beasts aren't here because of us?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In that instant, all eyes turned to look at Gu Ruoyun's cool and calm features. The shock in their eyes perfectly described their questions.
"Didn't you hear it?" Gu Ruoyun said as she shrugged her shoulders and smiled calmly, "A while ago, I had heard a soft growling sound from not too far ahead. That noise had called out to these spiritual beasts! They are merely on their way to meet it."
This also means that there was an even more powerful spiritual beast up ahead. It had issued a command and summoned the spiritual beasts at the rank of Martial Honors and above from the Nemesis Forest towards it.
