After waiting for a while and making sure that the boar is dead, the three finally relax a little.
Now, the obstacles have been dealt with so they can explore this mysterious cave further.
But just as the three lowered their guards a little and was just about to discuss how to divide the spoils, a world shaking roar came from behind them.
It was a roar filled with grief, anger, madness, and a force strong enough to shake anyone.
Before the three can turn to look, they can already feel the dread coming out of that roar, along with the emotions mentioned above.
The three slowly turn to look. Their expressions are filled with dread.
Just hearing that roar is already enough for the three to determine that this is not something they can contend with.
The savage roar tells them that the beast is not something they can fight at all.
The instincts of all three of them are telling them the same thing.
Run! Run and never look back!
Only then would they have some slight chance of survival.
As the three look at the beast that have just appeared, their instincts are screaming even more.
Their bodies are on the verge of running without any consent from their brains.
When the three turn to look at the massive boar that just appeared, it isn't even looking at them yet.
The boar is standing silently at the entrance of the path that would lead to the intersection.
After roaring, it doesn't move at all. It is only standing silently while looking at the dead boar all around.
Cloud and the other two hasn't got the chance to store all the boars in their space rings yet.
So all the bodies are still around.
The three didn't expect that the source of that roar is standing so far away.
They are at least more than a dozen meters away from it.
But when they heard the roar, it was like the sound is coming right from behind them.
That is just how scary the roar felt to them.
When the three are still stunned while staring at the five meters tall boar, the boar slowly turn to face them.
More accurately, it turn to look at the now second biggest boar in this place.
The mid stage qi gathering realm boar behind the three.
The three can see the sadness in the boar's eyes when this happens.
Only now that they finally realize that this group of boars must've been one big family.
But even then, they don't feel pity or regret. In this world, especially the world of cultivator, it is often kill or be killed.
As cultivators, the three hunt spirit beasts to go further in their path while the spirit beasts also hunt cultivators to go further in theirs.
It is just the cycle that brings balance to the world.
"Late stage qi gathering beast." Fang Yue said quietly while staring at the massive boar.
The comment woke the two out of their stunned state. They both turn their heads toward Fang Yue who is currently standing between them.
"Late stage? Are you sure it's not beyond that?" Xiao Fan asked in a hurry.
He has already became serious at this point. There isn't any hint of his usual playfulness that can be seen at this time.
Cloud has also turn serious. Unlike before, this has become a life and death scenario.
Before, there is also a chance of dying when fighting the seven boars. But it was still at a manageable range.
If the worst were to come, they still have the option to flee.
This time however, even when the three rack their brains to try to find a way to flee, no options comes that could guarantee their safety.
No matter how much they rack their brains, there is a high likelihood of dying even when they focus all their attention to run.
Even though the beast is still in the qi gathering realm, the gap between it and the three are still vast.
The three only barely managed to kill the mid stage qi gathering boar. Even then they have a hard time to even cut through its thick hide.
Even this achievement can already be considered the achievement of geniuses.
Being at the second and third stage of Qi gathering and killing a mid stage qi gathering beast, it is already unheard off.
A normal cultivators commonly only able to hunt one spirit beast on the same stage as them.
Even then it would take three to five cultivators against one spirit beast.
The three only obliterated the spirit beasts at their stage because they are a bit special.
Xiao Fan and Fang Yue have reached the third stage, which is equivalent to top of early stage spirit beasts.
While Cloud is someone who won't even lose when fighting the two. So their battle power are comparable.
But even then, they won't be able to do anything against a late stage qi gathering spirit beasts.
No matter how talented they are, it is still impossible at their current level.
