Chapter Thirteen: Sudden Change

  Now he has strengthened his spiritual power a bit, and this kind of aura response means only one thing to the Sword Toothed Tiger, that is, challenge, symbolizing that there are creatures who do not concede, wanting to challenge their dignity!

  In human words, at this moment, Chen Xu's eyes seemed to contain a knife-like gaze that fiercely tore through the tough exterior of the saber-toothed tigers, striking their inner hearts and contemptuously proclaiming his own powerful existence.

  Almost instantly, Chen Xu understood what was happening and didn't have time to regret it. Cold sweat dripped down as he immediately dispersed the inner energy that had been infused in his eyes, while the true energy on his body continued to flow, adjusting his entire state to the momentum of the Eagle Soaring Technique, preparing to dash to the opposite bank of the river at any moment.

  He now only hopes that these saber-toothed tigers can't swim, otherwise in this dense forest, Chen Xu really doesn't know how to compete with these saber-toothed tigers for speed!

  As if sensing the change in Chen Xu's aura, the sword-toothed tiger closest to Chen Xu flashed a hint of doubt in its big tiger eyes, and then slowly raised its paw, forming a longbow shape, unfolding an attacking posture.

  This sudden movement was so great that it instantly attracted the attention of two other saber-toothed tigers. However, at this time Chen Xu was still constantly circulating his internal energy, but he was now concentrating his vital energy inward and not leaking out in the slightest.

  In the midst of the other two saber-toothed tigers' senses, a faint aura continued to emanate from the thicket where Chen Xu stood, a grand yet tiny contradictory aura that wafted out, causing the two puzzled saber-toothed tigers to hesitate for a moment, unsure of what had happened.

  "Oh dear, things are getting out of hand! One tiger is enough to chase me to the heavens and back. If three come together, I'm doomed. Today's only hope is to divert the disaster elsewhere. Hopefully these ape-like brothers can shield me for a bit, or else today will be a catastrophe!"

  At the slightest movement, the saber-toothed tiger at the edge of his vision suddenly unified its energy and spirit. Its body was like a fully drawn longbow, with muscles tense all over, and every hair standing on end, exuding a cold and murderous aura that locked onto Chen Xuan. As he continued to accumulate strength, Chen Xuan swung his arm, about to order the four apes behind him to retreat and attract the saber-toothed tiger's attention.

  At this time, the several apemen behind him also noticed the saber-toothed tiger's abnormal movement. Under the spiritual pressure of the saber-toothed tiger, the four people were like quails, their whole body trembling with fear, and they even lost control of their bladder, wetting the grass below into a mess.

  Chen Xu had enough reason to believe that at this time, if he gave the order, these apemen would certainly rush out of here without hesitation, and in doing so, they could break the Sword Toothed Tiger's spiritual lock technique, giving him some chance to escape.

  As for what would happen to these apes in the end, Chen Xu didn't know and he also didn't want to know. After all, now he was already struggling to take care of himself, having encountered the biggest crisis since crossing over. If things went badly, next he would have to flee for his life, living a precarious existence from day to day.

  At this critical moment, a shocking scream suddenly came from the sky, and with the rustling of leaves in the entire primitive forest, countless screams rose and fell one after another, coming from an unknown distance.

  Across such a great distance, the dust of this land was shaken off, and the grandeur of this howl can be seen. Even if it were described as shocking heaven and earth, moving ghosts and gods to tears, it would not be an exaggeration. At this moment, the entire forest fell silent, as if frozen in place by the endless wailing sound, time itself seemed to have come to a standstill.

  As the earth-shaking, seemingly from the ancient wilderness came a loud howl, a burst of unusual and shrill whistling sounds followed in haste, as if countless storms were gathering, rumbling thunderous sounds, like the dull roar before a storm breaks out, and also like the sound of an avalanche crashing down after years of accumulated snow.

  "Is that a wolf howl? And what's that behind it? A tiger roar? Are there really wolves in this world at this time?"

  Although the whole person was still in a state of being ready to be triggered at any time, Chen Xuan's arm, which had been held horizontally, moved halfway and then stopped abruptly when he sensed the peculiarity of those few loud roars.

  Although he didn't know what had happened, Chen Xu could see from the fearful expression of the beasts at the scene that something seemed to have changed greatly again.

  Although he still doesn't know whether this transformation is good or bad for him, it's clear that even if things get worse, it's much better than being targeted by a three-headed saber-toothed tiger.

  As for what the first howl was, whether it was a wolf's howl or not, Chen Xu couldn't be certain. After all, judging from the loudness of the sound, the distance from where the sound came from to their current location was probably too far away.

  So far away, Chen Xu had doubts and didn't know what kind of beast could produce such a deep and distant howl.

  But just a moment later, Chen Xu suddenly understood what was making the second cry!

  Because, just after the second roar, two of the three saber-toothed tigers in front of him, with a hint of suspicion on their faces, suddenly trembled and stood up on their hind legs, while the other two stretched out their forepaws into the air.

  In Chen Xu's stunned gaze, the two saber-toothed tiger heads rose high with their front paws raised, and a burst of sound like a whirlwind erupted from their mouths.

  This roar burst out, with two saber-toothed tigers as the center, a visible shockwave instantly formed, and as the shockwave spread, the surrounding forest fell to the ground like wheat, with continuous cracking sounds, some trees could not withstand this pressure and snapped!

  Until this moment, the huge roar seemed to have just reached Chen Xu's ears. At this moment, he only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and his ears almost instantly lost their hearing.

  Fortunately, Chen Xu's cultivation of Yi Jin Jing has reached the level of Second Heaven Initial Stage, which is considered a high-level internal energy expert. To be honest, there are hardly any people who have achieved this level throughout history, and those who can cultivate to this extent are probably only in the hundreds.

  So in the instant when the sound wave arrived, the true energy inside Chen Xu's body quickly circulated on its own without Chen Xu's deliberate invocation, naturally swirling up to protect his ears and preventing him from fainting instantly.

  At this time, Chen Xuan quietly glanced around and found that under the two sword-toothed tigers' roar, all the creatures around him, whether they were beasts or apes, carnivores or herbivores, had fallen to the ground, rolling over and over, seemingly severely injured.

  As for the four apes behind Chen Xu, because they were walking on two feet, their hands were freed up, so at this moment they could use both hands to cover their ears. Therefore, except for showing a painful expression and rolling around on the ground, they did not lose consciousness, which was also a kind of blessing from heaven.
