With the sound of retching, a horribly sour stench instantly filled the air.
The Beastmen who were about to charge forward, along with Shun Yuan who was restraining Teng Qian, all froze in unison...
Immediately after, the Beastmen scrambled back, while Teng Qian, who had been despairing just a moment ago, felt himself being flung away with great force. Then, with a SPLAT... he landed face-first.
He made a perfect landing in a textbook 'wild goose on the beach' pose—face down, rear end in the air.
What surprised the Beastmen was that Shun Yuan—who just moments ago had been roaring, a savage look on his face as he prepared to fight them all to the death—was now gone, leaving only the sight of his pathetic-looking back as he vanished into the canyon forest.
The faint "HURK... HURK..." sounds that could still be heard from time to time made the reason for Shun Yuan's departure crystal clear.
