It didn't take long, just about half a minute, for the three Avatars of the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard to arrive.

Within the shadows, these three Avatars inherited the sinister cunning of the main body, standing respectively to the left, right, and rear of the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard, waiting only for the main body to issue commands.

Now, it was a one-against-four situation!

It was extremely smug, having already devised dozens of cruel methods of torture in its mind. One of them was to bite off all four of its limbs and devour its body piece by piece using shadows.

This was just to watch it while it was still conscious, seeing its own body being devoured and digested bit by bit, emitting painful wails.

This was the price to pay for daring to hurt it. Weak creatures should obediently be eliminated by powerful ones; this was the Law of the jungle, and it was a faithful practitioner of this Law.

Disregarding whether Da Huang could understand, it provocatively shouted: "You stupid trash, do you think your sneak attack just now was impressive?"

"That was just me being careless for a moment, giving you a chance. But soon, you will taste the price of resisting the powerful."

The three Avatars behind it seemed to be cooperating with its provocation, straining their throats and roaring.

While planning its next step and how the three Avatars would launch their attack, it saw the dog in front shrink its neck and glance elsewhere, naturally assuming it was scared by its Avatars.

It spoke up: "Scared, are you? If you voluntarily drop the blade in your mouth, I will let you die a quick death."

Just as it was feeling smug, it suddenly heard rustling sounds from the grass on both sides of Da Huang.

It suddenly discovered that four squads of Flame-tailed Fox had emerged from the grass, each squad consisting of five. Knowing their strength was relatively weak, the four squads of Flame-tailed Fox quickly gathered together, forming a large group of twenty Flame-tailed Fox to provide support at Da Huang's side.

Looking back, it saw that the Flame-tailed Fox squad it had originally intended to ambush was also among them. They had circled around through its blind spot and arrived at Da Huang's side.

Its eyes turned gloomy.

So, the dog wasn't scared at all; it was waiting for reinforcements just like it was.

But then it saw that these twenty Flame-tailed Fox immediately fell into shock and brief chaos the moment they saw it.

A look of disdain appeared on the corner of the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard's mouth.

The quality of these reinforcements was truly poor, just a bunch of trashy First-Tier Magical Beasts. Upon seeing it, they would be so frightened by its aura that they wouldn't dare to move. This was the pressure from the depths of the soul that high-tier Magical Beasts exerted on low-tier ones.

It estimated that in the next second, they would be so terrified by its pressure that they would scatter and flee.

Just as it was thinking this, the group of Flame-tailed Fox in front made an unexpected move.

It seemed as if they had been pacified by something, or perhaps they had already been prepared in their hearts.

They quickly regained their composure, moved their feet, and slightly spread out their formation, leaving an appropriate gap between each Flame-tailed Fox. Their raised tails glowed with a fiery red light, and fireballs were forming at the tips of their tails, as if they were just waiting for the right moment to launch them.

A total of twenty head-sized fireballs were hovering and burning in mid-air. For a moment, the clearing in the center of the territory became brightly lit, and the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard and its Avatars were revealed under the firelight.

The expression of every Flame-tailed Fox carried a trace of determination and calmness, and it even saw a fearless fanaticism hidden in their eyes.

Not only did they not run away in fear, but they even set up a formation, and their every movement seemed to carry a firm belief.

It was simply like a well-trained army.

It suddenly imagined a scene in its mind: a group of determined and well-trained warriors, fighting hard to defend their home.

Who exactly trained them?

Was it the dog in front of it? No, no, although its eyes carried a hint of Killing Intent, they also retained a sense of innocence and stupidity; it absolutely could not organize this team.

But it had never seen weak prey that were treated as food unite like this; they were usually just a loose sand, easily broken one by one.

Seeing this unreasonable scene before it, the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard felt as if it were trapped in a large net, yet it couldn't even find the person who cast the net.

Originally it was one against four, but now it had become four against twenty-one.

An inexplicable sense of irritability filled its head. Known for its cunning, it finally raised its head, its eyes bloodshot, and shouted: "Avatars, kill all the Flame-tailed Fox in front! Leave no survivors!"

Yes, even if a group of Flame-tailed Fox united, a First-Tier Magical Beast was still a First-Tier Magical Beast.

Moreover, since it had come all this way and even gotten injured, wouldn't it be a loss if it didn't take something away?

It still harbored a fluke mentality in its heart.

Under the cover of night, the three Avatars rushed toward the group of Flame-tailed Fox. One crawled and ran, one jumped onto a tree trunk and moved between the trees, and one used the cover of the grass to charge forward.

And its main body suddenly disappeared in front of the animals, as if it had escaped into the shadows.

Qi Ye had already arranged the method of counterattack against these three Avatars.

Da Huang leaped with all its might, immediately intercepting the first Avatar on the ground, and with a strike of its blood blade, split the opponent in two.

At the same time, a larger fireball appeared in mid-air, knocking down the other Avatar that was moving between the trees, which was then rushed by a Big Cat that appeared from nowhere and subjected to a frenzy of claw attacks, quickly being suppressed to the ground.

Half of the Flame-tailed Fox in the group threw fireballs, forcing out the last Avatar hidden in the grass. It yelped from the heat of the flames, stopped attacking, and soon turned into a wisp of black smoke that returned to the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard, directly exposing its true form.

This pitch-black giant demonic leopard was currently hiding by a small tree, charging up to release an Shadow Demon Blast.

Being able to eliminate its Avatars so quickly was indeed beyond its expectations, but it had already had enough time!

Its cunning eyes revealed a hint of cruelty; the Avatars just now were only a diversion, and the real purpose was to release this signature Skill again.

The Shadow Orb above its head was about to expand to its limit and could be thrown out immediately.

All the animals could feel the power contained in this Shadow Orb.

Estimating that the time was about right, Qi Ye stood on one of the Flame-tailed Fox and issued a command.

"Everyone, listen up! Throw all the remaining fireballs! Target: that black orb on its back!"

When it released the Shadow Demon Blast for the first time, Qi Ye had seen it and made a judgment.

This Shadow Orb required charging to be created and was very strenuous to maintain. So, what would happen if the energy of other Magical Beasts were mixed into it?

Without a moment's hesitation, the remaining Flame-tailed Fox simultaneously threw the fireballs from their tails; the target was none other than the Shadow Orb above its head.

Under its terrified gaze, ten fireballs shot simultaneously into the Shadow Orb that was about to be launched, and the power originally maintaining the Shadow Orb instantly lost its balance.

"Boom!"

It exploded violently on the spot, and the one bearing the brunt of the damage was the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard directly below.

The red flames and black shadows merged together, forming a terrifying flame of immense power that directly covered the entire body of the Dark Curtain Demonic Leopard, giving it a nearly one-hundred-percent large-area burn.

Roar!!

"Ahhh!"

Hit by its own signature Skill, it screamed and rolled on the ground. Its pitch-black, oily, and sturdy fur was scorched by the flames, revealing tender pink skin, and it even emitted the smell of roasted meat.

Delicious!

The Flame-tailed Fox instinctively drooled, but soon put on a serious face; the opponent was a Fourth-Tier Lord, after all, so they still needed to show some respect.
