The third day, early morning.
The team proceeded as usual. Ender first patrolled the area from the air before returning to the carriage in the center of the team.
After encountering a pack of one-horned wolves on the first day, the migrating team safely met up with another migrating team on the second day. As a result, the number of Apprentice Level 9 individuals in the team increased to five.
Whoosh—!
Ender had not rested long after sitting down when sharp, urgent whistles came from the left and right sides of the team!
Axe stood up reflexively, "Something's happening!"
"I'll go up and see!"
Ender leaped up, and the Bone Shield flew to his feet, carrying him towards the sky.
Flying to a height of dozens of meters, he got a clear view of the entire migrating team.
At the same time, he also saw two large and small masses of dark, dense Demon Beast groups, attacking the left and right sides of the team respectively!
"Two Demon Beast groups!"
Ender frowned, controlling the Bone Shield to descend rapidly.
Whoosh!
Arriving above the carriage, he pointed to the right and shouted, "Axe, you go support the right side, the Demon Beast group coming from there is smaller in number! Leave the left side to me!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Axe's reply and flew directly towards the left.
Axe was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Ender to actually command him.
Then, he reacted, letting out a strange shout, "Oula!"
The sound of "thump thump thump" hooves rang out, and a Long-haired Beast, half again as large as its peers, arrived beside the carriage.
Grasping his ancestral long spear, Axe leaped from the carriage onto the back of the Long-haired Beast. Then he patted the right side of the Long-haired Beast's head.
Amidst the "thump thump thump" of hooves, the Long-haired Beast carried him towards the right side of the team. Along the way, the domesticated Demon Beasts scattered to make way for him.
On the other side, after Ender arrived at the left side of the team, he didn't rush to act, staying in the air and watching from a distance.
"The number of Demon Beasts here is about three to four hundred... Hmm... Something's not right!"
He looked puzzled.
"One type of carnivorous Demon Beast! Two types of herbivorous Demon Beasts! Why is there a Mixed Demon Beasts Group?
"Even during a beast tide, Mixed Demon Beasts Groups are rare, unless..."
Thinking of this, his expression became serious, "Unless there is a Planetary Level Demon Beast leading them! Otherwise, opposing carnivorous and herbivorous species would not form a Demon Beast group to act together!"
Planetary Level Demon Beasts are easy to distinguish; their size is more than double that of their kin.
"Where? Where?"
Ender searched carefully, his gaze sweeping over the Demon Beast group but finding no trace of a Planetary Level Demon Beast.
"Could it be a flying Demon Beast?"
He looked up at the sky, but the sky was clear. Let alone Demon Beasts, there weren't even many clouds.
"None! How can there be none?" Ender muttered to himself, somewhat doubting his own deduction, "Could this Mixed Demon Beasts Group just be a coincidence?"
Feeling somewhat unwilling, he searched again, but still found no trace of a Planetary Level Demon Beast.
"Can't wait any longer!"
While Ender was searching for the Planetary Level Demon Beast, the migrating team and the attacking Demon Beast group had engaged. He had already seen people falling into the Demon Beast group during the fight.
"First, deal with the Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast Leaders."
Flying towards the Demon Beast group, Ender began searching for the whereabouts of the Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beasts.
"Found one!"
After a brief search, his eyes lit up. He found an Apprentice Level 9 herbivorous Demon Beast.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The sixteen bone spike that had been protecting him previously shot out, heading towards that Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast.
The Demon Beast sensed the danger and quickly leaped, trying to dodge. But this was futile before the bone spike manipulated by Spiritual Force!
The sixteen bone spike curved in a wide arc, heavily impacting the Demon Beast's waist and abdomen. The powerful impact directly sent it flying.
Under normal circumstances, with that herbivorous Demon Beast's tough hide and thick fat, it would be difficult for a carnivorous Demon Beast of the same level to injure it!
But Planetary Level Demon Beasts have undergone a life leap, with deep evolution of their body's cells and tissues. The bone spike made from their teeth are incredibly sharp and incisive. Puncture puncture...
Without encountering much resistance, the bone spike easily penetrated the herbivorous Demon Beast's body, then exited from the other side.
Blood sprayed. The herbivorous Demon Beast was sent flying several meters in the air, then heavily crashed onto another Demon Beast, directly crushing it, breaking its bones and making its limbs go limp.
"The first one!"
The bone spike flew back, skimming the ground to kill the herbivorous Demon Beast. Ender counted one, then turned towards the next Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast.
After piercing the herbivorous Demon Beast's body, the sixteen bone spike, their momentum undiminished, drew graceful arcs in the air and charged towards an Apprentice Level 9 carnivorous Demon Beast.
The carnivorous Demon Beast dodged nimbly. Although it avoided some of the bone spike, the remaining ones still pierced its body.
The bone spike returned, still flying close to the ground, killing the carnivorous Demon Beast.
"The second one!"
Ender counted in his mind, controlling the bone spike to shoot towards the next target.
A few seconds later, an Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast fell in a pool of blood. After the bone spike pierced its body, they headed towards the next target.
"The third one!"
"The fourth one!"
...
"The sixth one! This is the last one."
After killing the last Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast, Ender controlled the bone spike to kill more than ten Apprentice-level Seven and Eight-stage Demon Beasts.
Having done all this, he retracted the bone spike to protect himself, looking around to observe the battlefield.
At this time, the Demon Beast group, having lost their Apprentice Level 9 Demon Beast Leaders, except for the Demon Beasts fighting the migrating team's warriors, had lost their fighting spirit and showed signs of collapsing.
Seeing this, Ender flew towards the migrating team's warriors who were still fighting, planning to help them eliminate the remaining determined Demon Beasts to reduce casualties.
The sixteen bone spike were divided into four groups, each killing the Demon Beasts still fighting.
Puncture puncture...
Amidst a series of sounds of bone spike entering flesh and blood, Demon Beasts were killed and fell to the ground one after another.
The migrating team's warriors who were fighting were startled. The Demon Beasts they were fighting just a moment ago suddenly became severely injured or died and fell to the ground.
They looked around, finding the same situation with others, not knowing how the Demon Beasts had fallen.
It wasn't until they saw Ender flying in the air, stepping on his shield, and the sixteen suspended bone spike beside him, that they realized it was the Scout who had helped them.
The warriors on the carriages stood high and could see far. They saw that many large-sized Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast group had already died.
"Amazing! As expected of a Scout, easily killing so many Apprentice-level Eight and Nine-stage Demon Beasts!"
"Solving the Demon Beast group's attack so quickly is truly remarkable!"
Some people with a strong sense of Time knew exactly how long it took from the start to the end of the fight – just over a minute!
One person exclaimed, "So strong! The Scout is probably not weaker than a Planetary Level expert!"
"Maybe a little less, but not by much!" Another person also agreed on the strength of Ender.
...
Words of praise came from everyone's mouths. They all admired Ender's strength.
Ender didn't take the praise to heart. At this moment, he was constantly thinking about a problem.
"Did I think wrong? Was there no Planetary Level Demon Beast leading these Demon Beasts at all?"
Seeing the Demon Beast group collapsing, and the Planetary Level Demon Beast showing no sign of its presence, he wondered if he had been overly suspicious.
Suddenly, Ender thought of something, and his expression changed, "No! That's not right!"
