The accumulated power of the third-grade primeval beast's attack, combined with the salvo of over a thousand Stone Spirit Beasts, finally exceeded the limit of the rock shield's defensive ability.

  As the rock shield shattered into countless pieces, the hearts of Andre and the other two instantly sank to the bottom.

  With nothing under their feet and the Horned Eagle being killed instantly, the three of them could no longer stay in the air and fell down one after another, immediately plunged into the sea of primeval beasts.

  "Why is he still here? Why could he kill the Horned Eagle in an instant? Why couldn't such powerful attacks force him out?"

  At this moment, Andre and the others had too many questions in their hearts. However, even Andre, who hated Chen Yue the most, had no time to worry about these whys.

  Chen Yue's strike had hit their vital point right away.

  Countless primeval beasts rushed forward eagerly. In such a chaotic situation, all Andre and the others could do was to protect themselves.

  One after another, they set up a Firm Shield to block the scattered boulder throws. Andre and the others immediately summoned their demonic servants and desperately protected themselves.

  At the critical moment of life and death, their strength was immediately demonstrated. Taking advantage of the crucial moment before the third-grade primeval beast got close, the fifth-level and sixth-level demonic servants showed their great power. Elemental attacks poured out like cannonballs, instantly pushing back the group of primeval beasts.

  However, very few primeval beasts actually died under such scattered attacks.

  This was all that Andre and the others could do for the time being.

  The group of primeval beasts swarmed up and separated the three of them. They could only watch helplessly. They could see each other's despair from a distance.

  Without a flying-type demonic servant and being trapped in a group of thousands of primeval beasts, even a fourth-level apostle would only have one fate - death.

  Lina was slightly weaker in strength. At this moment, she couldn't spare a hand to summon the Horned Eagle. Not to mention that the Horned Eagle, which had suffered repeated heavy blows, had a greatly reduced compatibility. At this moment, she couldn't even command it.

  "Let's each try to escape for our lives."

  Looking at each other from a distance of more than ten meters, they could all understand this meaning.

  Turning around, Andre remained silent and commanded his demonic servants to start breaking through in one direction. Lina and the middle-aged man did the same.

  The three of them chose a direction each to break through.

  If they huddled together reluctantly, there would be no chance of survival at all. They definitely couldn't hold on for long. It was better for the three of them to choose a direction each and divide the number of primeval beasts in the group. In this way, there was still a glimmer of hope for escape. Only apostles with considerable strength like them had the possibility of success. If it were the tall and short duo before, no matter what they did, their only outcome would be to be torn to pieces by the group of primeval beasts in an instant.

  As for who could escape by chance in the end, it would depend on luck.

  Before leaving finally, Andre looked back at the place where Chen Yue had appeared. As expected, he still didn't see Chen Yue's figure. On the vast plain, there were only the three of them on their side.

  "Exactly how did he do it?"

  ...

  "Light Escape."

  The moment he killed the Horned Eagle, Chen Yue gave the order of Light Escape to Liuguang inside his body. Fortunately, he didn't fall into the 50% chance of being ignored.

  He appeared and disappeared in an instant.

  Chen Yue didn't attract the attention of the group of primeval beasts at all.

  After entering the light-transformed state again, Chen Yue watched coldly the next moves of Andre and the others, looking for the best opportunity to make a move.

  After Andre and the other two separated, the group of primeval beasts on the Red Stone Plain also correspondingly divided into three groups, closely chasing after the three apostles.

  However, relying on the desperate attacks of several demonic servants, they were not in danger of losing their lives for the time being. The chaotic situation also restricted the boulder-throwing attacks of many Stone Spirit Beasts. This was also an important reason why they could barely hold on.

  After thinking for a moment, Chen Yue moved towards the direction where Lina was fleeing.

  This woman with a flying-type demonic servant was too much of a threat to him and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

  The speed in the light-transformed state was twice that in the normal state. Moreover, Lina's retreating speed was not fast, so Chen Yue easily caught up with her.

  "Twelve seconds left."

  Looking at Lina, who was in a sorry state while resisting the attacks of the group of primeval beasts, Chen Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't launch an attack immediately.

  In the exchange space of the Apostle Association of the Tianye Empire, relying on Yun Jing's ability, Chen Yue was very familiar with the abilities of the items there.

  The Firm Shield was a very practical item at the disciple level. However, it required a full one thousand exchange points. After all, apostles were physically fragile，so the value of this kind of protective item became extremely prominent.

  Lina had activated the Firm Shield on her body. It was strong enough to withstand three attacks from the extremely powerful Blade Beast, which was at the third-star and second-rank, before the shield could be broken. This had some impact on Chen Yue's plan. After all, what he pursued was a one-hit kill. Otherwise, if he suddenly showed up but couldn't immediately deal with Lina, he would immediately be attacked with all their strength by her three demonic servants.

  If Chen Yue also had the same protective item, then he could give it a try.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  However, the Firm Shield was such a luxury item that Chen Yue, who had just become an apostle not long ago, couldn't afford to exchange for it. He couldn't compare with those who had accumulated hundreds or thousands of points, so he could only choose to wait.

  "Five seconds left."

  Chen Yue's mind was as calm as still water. He didn't feel anxious at all because the time of Light Escape was coming to an end, showing excellent psychological quality.

  "Three seconds..."

  Chen Yue showed a smile. The opportunity to make a move had finally arrived.

  "Roar."

  With a powerful roar full of might, a huge figure appeared in front of Lina. The moment she saw that figure, Lina's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

  It was actually a third-grade primeval beast.

  Just now on the Horned Eagle, they had seen clearly that there were only four third-grade primeval beasts here. Originally, they had hoped that they would choose to chase after one person, so that their chances of survival would be greater. Unexpectedly, they also divided their forces.

  A third-grade primeval beast was not something that ordinary demonic servants could resist. Helplessly, Lina could only command her only third-star and second-rank demonic servant to meet it head-on. The rest were only a one-star and second-rank cannon fodder and a two-star and second-rank demonic servant.

  At this moment, Chen Yue also made his move.

  The moment he showed his figure, the Blade Beast slashed hard at the Firm Shield.

  The Firm Shield really lived up to its reputation as a disciple-level protective item. Not only did it withstand the attack of the Blade Beast, but it also offset the thousands of jin of force that Chen Yue had attached to the Blade Beast.

  Lina just staggered a little and then regained her balance. An attack that could have sent an elephant flying only had such a negligible result.

  However, Chen Yue had long been familiar with the effectiveness of the Firm Shield, so he didn't show much surprise. He turned his sword and instantly killed the two-star and second-rank demonic servant that had reacted, and then struck the Firm Shield with two more identical sword strikes.

  The shield was broken.

  The third-star and second-rank demonic servant, seeing its master in danger, wanted to turn back to rescue her but it was already too late.

  In Lina's horrified gaze, Chen Yue stabbed his sword into her heart without the slightest bit of mercy.

  Instant kill.

  "Light Escape."

  In the next moment, just as Chen Yue was about to enter the light-transformed state to avoid the attacks of the primeval beasts, unfortunately, Liuguang ignored his order.

  Chen Yue frowned slightly, but he didn't show much annoyance.

  The Blade Beast swung around and instantly killed the approaching second-grade primeval beasts. At the same time, he slashed with all his strength at the third-grade primeval beast that was pouncing over.

  Unlike the last battle with the Two-Headed Giant-Toothed Leopard, that time Chen Yue was trying to control it, so he didn't attach his physical strength in the battle. At this moment, he made a move without reservation.

  The third-grade primeval beast let out a mournful cry and was sent flying dozens of steps away, looking at Chen Yue in disbelief.

  "Light Escape."

  This time it was successful. Chen Yue successfully entered the light-transformed state and disappeared.

  The group of primeval beasts looked doubtfully at the place where Chen Yue had disappeared. Their sensing ability was far inferior to that of demonic servants and they couldn't detect where Chen Yue was at all.

  After hovering in doubt for a few seconds, led by the third-grade primeval beast, they quickly left and rushed towards the other two directions.

  After they had gone far away, Chen Yue immediately broke away from the light-transformed state. Staring at the four life essence cores suspended in the air, he showed a smile.

  Then, he calmly smashed the invisible channels, released the Frozen Rabbit, let it devour the life essence cores, and at the same time, picked up Lina's belongings.

  After finishing this set of familiar procedures, Chen Yue rushed towards another direction. When primeval beasts appeared nearby, he immediately entered the light-transformed state.

  The second target Chen Yue chose was the middle-aged man.

  This man's strength was even inferior to Lina's, and his luck was extremely bad. He was targeted by two third-grade primeval beasts. As a result, he lost his life under the attacks of the third-grade primeval beasts not long after setting off.

  When Chen Yue arrived there, he only saw three life essence cores suspended in the air. There were no primeval beasts left. They had all gone to chase Andre.

  The following things proceeded in an orderly manner.

  After putting away the middle-aged man's belongings, Chen Yue released the Frozen Rabbit and let it devour these three life essence cores one by one.

  After devouring fourteen life essence cores in succession, five of which were third-star ones that exceeded the Frozen Rabbit's star level, the Frozen Rabbit's gains were indescribably huge. It looked extremely satisfied. Its previous haggard appearance had long disappeared, and it had even improved a lot.

  The two circles of life halos under its feet had also become deep blue, and they seemed to be pulsating slowly as if they had life.

  Chen Yue could feel that the compatibility between him and the Frozen Rabbit had increased slightly again.

  "I really don't know what the use of devouring these life essence cores is."

  Although he knew that the devouring ability was unique, so far, no significant changes had occurred on the Frozen Rabbit. Its rank was still at the first level. Such a situation obviously puzzled Chen Yue a lot.

  "Goo goo."

  The Frozen Rabbit, which had finished devouring, hopped over and landed in Chen Yue's arms. It stuck out its tongue to lick Chen Yue's hands.

  Chen Yue could clearly see that there was a thick layer of silver around its tongue. As it moved, it stuck to Chen Yue's hands and quickly merged into his flesh and blood.

  "What's the use of this thing..."

  Chen Yue smiled wryly. Every time the Frozen Rabbit finished devouring, it would give him some of this silver substance. However, similarly, after absorbing these things, Chen Yue didn't show any abnormalities, and his body didn't have any rejection either.

  Shaking his head, Chen Yue put these doubts aside. He knew that he still knew too little about this extremely mysterious world...

  His gaze crossed a distance of several thousand meters and looked to the other side.

  At this moment, the primeval beasts on the Red Stone Plain had all gone into a riot. Standing here, he could vaguely see that countless attacks were falling on Andre like a storm.

  Especially the third-grade primeval beast that could spit out a white energy pillar was probably the most powerful one among them. Its strength was even greater than that of the Two-Headed Giant-Toothed Leopard, which put a huge pressure on Andre. Even with a third-star and third-rank, sixth-level demonic servant, Andre's defeat was just a matter of time.

  "It seems that I can just watch the show..."

  Chen Yue twitched the corners of his mouth.

  A moment later, four invisible channels dropped down from the sky at the place where Andre was.
