However, on a mountain not far from here, a man sitting cross-legged on a rock saw the demon cultivators below dealing with the group of mercenaries and two children, so he took out a piece of flute from his waist and started to play it.
A leisurely melody floated out with the rise and fall of his fingers. The sound of the flute was as clear and pleasant as pearls falling on a jade plate, and as slowly flowing as water in a stream, but the melody did not sound ordinary.
Hearing the sudden melody in the air, the injured mercenaries below were startled. How could someone play the flute in a place like this
They involuntarily stopped their attack and tried to find the person playing the flute. However, the sound of the flute floated in the air and echoed in the sky, but he was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, they felt the ground shaking, as if something heavy was stepping on it. Just as they were stunned, they heard the roars of ferocious beasts in the forest.
"Why are there ferocious beasts in this area?"
A demon cultivator looked back in astonishment and listened to the sound. It was indeed the sound of a ferocious beast, because the roar was mixed with the pressure of the ferocious beast, which was certainly different from that of ordinary beasts.
"From the noise, it seems like there are quite a few?" said another demon cultivator, frowning involuntarily.
"Don't worry about it! Kill them first!"
The demon cultivators shouted loudly and attacked the people of the Thunder and Fire Mercenaries again. Feng Ye and Zhao Yang were protected and only had small wounds on their bodies caused by the airflow. But it was different for Xu Yan and his team members. They were all covered in blood and were stabbed horizontally and vertically, but no one fell.
Feng Ye and Zhao Yang couldn't help but feel a little worried at this time. They didn't expect that the group of evil cultivators they met would kill them without any reason. It seemed that they couldn't escape today.
However, at this moment, the roars of the ferocious beasts were getting closer and closer, and even the demon cultivators could not ignore them. Suddenly, a ferocious beast jumped out from nowhere and pounced on a demon cultivator like a tiger pouncing on its prey. It opened its bloodthirsty mouth and bit off the demon cultivator's neck. Blood spurted out like a column of water in an instant, splashing all over the people nearby.
"Ah! The beast!"
Another demon cultivator cried out in surprise, and then, a dozen ferocious beasts pounced on them and started to bite them. In addition to the dozen ferocious beasts that were blinded, another group came running over from behind and surrounded everyone for a while. Even those demon cultivators who wanted to kill the Leihuo mercenaries and others could not spare the attention and had to focus on dealing with the ferocious beasts first.
"Protect them and go first!" Xu Yan shouted, protecting Feng Ye and Zhao Yang regardless of the blood all over his body. However, he soon found that the situation was a little strange.
The ferocious beasts that pounced on them were only besieging the demon cultivators. As for them, they were too lazy to even look at them, especially when the ferocious beasts passed by them, they did not make any attacking moves at a close distance.
"Why don't these ferocious beasts attack us?" The mercenary members were slightly stunned. Each of them found it a little unbelievable as they had never encountered such a situation before.
"It's beast taming." Feng Ye's eyes lit up slightly. Listening to the flute sound in the air and looking at the scene in front of him, he naturally thought of beast taming.
