Myth Beyond Heaven

"Is there any way to cure it?" Yun Hei asked further.

Yun Lintian nodded and then shook his head. "There is, but it's almost impossible for our village."

"Then, why do you want to attract them here?" Yun Hei's face turned solemn as he asked further.

"I need to confirm further on how extent they have been infected. Moreover, these beasts are destined to come out anyway. It's better to use this chance to eliminate them." Yun Lintian said with a serious expression.

"Surely, we can deal with them one or two times. But what about ten and twenty? We can't be passive forever, right? And if there is a mistake, the worst scenario is that all the crops around the village are infected by the Abyssal Energy."

Yun Hei and the others went silent immediately. They now understood deeply what kind of consequence they would face once those beasts slipped into the village.

Awooo—

All of a sudden, a wolf's howl could be heard from afar, making everyone raise their guard.

"Everyone, get to your position." Yun Hei said in a low voice, and everyone quickly dispersed.

They hid behind the trees while using some herbs Yun Lintian gave them to reduce their smell, allowing them to conceal their presence from the incoming beasts.

Soon, a group of silver wolves appeared in the vicinity. They looked around vigilantly while keeping their eyes on the wild boar's remains that were burning vigorously. The smell of it had attracted them here.

Yun Hei made a hand signal, telling everyone to raise their bows.

"Wait a minute." Yun Lintian raised his hand to stop everyone and pointed toward the forest behind the wolf pack.

Roar—

At this moment, a two-meter-high black bear emerged from the forest while roaring, showing its might.

Its fierce eyes were staring at the wolves as if it was looking at delicious food.

The appearance of the black bear immediately scared everyone on Yun Lintian's side. They had seen many powerful beasts before, but this was the first time they had met such a frightening bear.

Judging from its look, it was obviously several times stronger than the wild boar they met.

Yun Hei's face turned grim. He knew very well that his strength wasn't enough to contend with this black bear, but he had no way to retreat. What if it went to the village? He couldn't afford to risk the villager's life.

"Relax, Uncle Hei. Let's wait and see first." Yun Lintian smiled.

"Roar!" Instantly, the black bear roared excitedly and rushed toward the wolves.

Its huge body produced a towering momentum, causing the wolf pack to separate from each other, avoiding the black bear.

Seeing this scene, the alpha wolf howled, ordering its subordinates to attack the bear in all directions.

Boom!

The black bear grinned wickedly when it saw this. It raised its paw up and slammed it to the nearest wolf, causing the latter to be torn apart in one go.

Blood splattered all over the place, making the bear more excited.

The cruel scene made everyone on Yun Lintian's side turn pale. They had to cover their mouths with their hands in order to prevent themselves from screaming. Their legs shook in fright, and some of them were even limping to the ground directly.

Scree—

While the black bear and the silver wolves were fighting, a huge eagle suddenly appeared in the sky. Its huge figure immediately blocked the sun, casting a shadow covering everyone on the ground.

Its sharp eyes stared at the black bear coldly as if looking at a dead animal.

Yun Hei's face turned pale instantly when he saw this. The black bear's existence already made him powerless, but this eagle was several stronger than the black bear… It's over! Our village is doomed!

"Second-level Essence Profound Beast…" Yun Lintian glanced at the eagle thoughtfully.

Although Yun Lintian wasn't afraid of the eagle, it was difficult for him to fight it in his current condition. Unless he could make the eagle land on the ground.

Even though Yun Lintian had lost his profound strength, his powerful physique was still there. With his brute force alone, bringing these profound beasts was not a problem.

"Roar!" The black bear felt that he was being challenged. It roared furiously and massacred the silver wolves with the fastest speed. Clearly, it was holding back previously.

​ The alpha wolf saw this scene. It was frightened and quickly called its subordinates to retreat into the forest.

The black bear wanted to chase it, but the eagle suddenly shot down like a meteor toward it.

The black bear let out a furious cry and slammed its paw toward the incoming eagle.

However, the eagle was twice faster. It cleverly avoided the paw and used its claws to slash toward the bear's face.

Puff!

Blood splashed into the air, and deep wounds immediately appeared on the black bear's face and eyes. It howled in pain and threw its arms around, desperately trying to catch the eagle.

Unfortunately, the eagle had already flown into the air, turning around and coming back to the bear. This time, a sharp light could be seen on the eagle's claws. Obviously, it had channeled its profound energy.

Puchi!

The black bear's head was instantly torn apart by the eagle's sharp claws. Blood gushed like a fountain as the bear's body gradually fell back and smashed into the ground with a loud bang.

Even though Yun Lintian couldn't use the Eyes of Heaven, he could feel Abyssal Energy flow out of the black bear's remains. This further confirmed that more powerful beasts were infected by Abyssal Energy.

The eagle didn't seem to care about the black bear's head. It threw the head away like worthless trash before casting its sharp gaze onto Yun Hei and the others behind the trees.

This scene immediately scared everyone.

Yun Lintian looked at the eagle attentively and found out it wasn't affected by Abyssal Energy. This was strange.

He thought for a moment and stepped out of the tree, walking to the open space fearlessly.

"Little Brother Yun!" Yun Hei came back to his sense and cried out in shock.

Yun Lintian didn't care about Yun Hei. He stared at the eagle, who was also staring at him and said. "Someone has told you to come here, right?"

Yun Lintian's incomprehensible action instantly startled Yun Hei and the others…
