Chapter 1114: Chapter 1118: Discerning Intentions Chapter 1114: Chapter 1118: Discerning Intentions “Aooo!!!!!!!!” the Dark Harp Dragon elder opened its maw, lunging to bite Sikong Yuantu directly.
At the instant its crimson fangs were bared, the surrounding space turned a bizarre red, as if blood-red ink instantaneously dyed a pool of water. In this blood-red space, Sikong Yuantu, about to draw his sword in resistance, found his movements strangely slow. He was almost enveloped by the fangs, as if immersed in red sludge, his movements lethargic, dull–even the expression of utter terror on his face seemed to slow by countless magnitudes!
Wei Huan almost sprang into action at this scene, but Shen Sang by her side held her tightly and pointed at something behind Wei Huan.
When Wei Huan turned around, she abruptly spotted an even larger Ancient Dragon standing amidst the dark banyan forest. It was as silent as a mountain of black, but its terrifying aura clung to Wei Huan's heart with the force of a powerful claw, causing her heart to pound violently…
In that split second of tight anguish, the larger Dark Harp Dragon elder took a step towards Wei Huan!
Wei Huan's face turned deathly pale as she struggled with all her might to calm her emotions and slow her racing heartbeat!
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the heart-wrenching scream came from Sikong Yuantu, and under the gaze of hundreds, such a God-lord Level powerhouse was torn in half. Half of his body was being chewed on by the mouth of the initial Dark Harp Dragon elder, while the other half was thrown into the air, landing in front of the larger Dark Harp Dragon elder behind Wei Huan…
Two Ancient Dragon elders!!!
That meant the Coloured Wing Ancient Dragon they had previously seen was not the master of the Banyan Forest; the two Dark Harp Dragon elders they now beheld were…
When the Dark Ancient Dragon Clan couldn't find their group, these two elders had appeared!!
Powerful and brutal, the visual impact alone from the Ancient Dragon elders was already intense, not to mention the spiritual torment everyone was under, unable to make a sound. They couldn't even afford the luxury of feeling nervous and anxious. In their fight for survival, the so-called dignity of the gods had been trampled upon without a trace, forcibly calm inside even as they watched their companions being devoured…
However, panic is contagious.
Especially when such a horrific scene unfolded before their very eyes.
Other male Guardians stood like statues, cheeks and bodies drenched in fresh red blood–all squeezed from Sikong Yuantu. They didn't dare flee, move, or scream, their bodies trembling uncontrollably…
With every effort made to prevent their hearts from wildly pounding, their bodies had lost all control.
The quivering of their bodies produced noises all too clear in this absolute silence, audible to others, let alone the keen ears of the Dark Harp Dragon elders!
Lu Ying, Lou Qian, Bai Qin'an, and others tightly shut their eyes, for they already knew what would happen next, and they dared not look.
“Ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!”
“Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ah ah ah!!!!!!!!!!”
The screams rose again, so piercing that they drove more people into a frenzy.
Such a sight was more humiliating and tragic than butchered livestock; on the streets, even a dog would bark incessantly upon seeing one of its kind slaughtered, but they, these humans–these so-called gods–had no right to compassion…
The suppression had reached its breaking point!!
And there was absolutely no way to resist!!!
In this situation, no one felt anger, only a humble plea, begging that their hearts would calm down, begging that their bodies would listen to them, not to tremble!!
The five male Guardians had all died horribly…
But it was not over yet.
The first Dark Harp Dragon elder began to move forward, parting the tree canopy, once bringing its head close to the ground.
It was very, very close to Lu Ying, Bai Qin'an, Lou Qian, and the others…
“Thud thud! Thud thud! Thud thud!”
The sound of its Dragon Horns was like a heartbeat!
“Thud thud!! Thud thud!! Thud thud!!! Thud thud thud thud!!!!”
Although it had no eyes, this Dark Harp Dragon was still using its Dragon Horns to search for objects making similar sounds!
Zhu Minglang was positioned slightly to the back, and when this Dark Harp Dragon elder mimicked such sounds, he sensed that something was very wrong!
These Dark Harp Dragon elders had extreme intelligence, and upon discovering the changes in the heartbeat frequency of Sikong Yuantu, they seemed to suddenly understand something–that any heartbeats that changed must belong to a living person and not to wood. There were still living beings in this forest!
The group that had stepped onto The Ghost Mark Star had learned about the habits and abilities of these Ancient Dragons, how to avoid creatures with powerful hearing. Similarly, these Dark Harp Dragon elders were learning to precisely distinguish the silent human from the plants!
This night, everyone had learned to stand more dispersed to prevent the random attacks of these Dark Ancient Dragons from affecting everyone. They actually had weak senses of smell, no vision, relying entirely on hearing, substituting the horns on their heads for ears…
So, just when everyone thought they could safely get through this third night, they realized that the previous methods no longer worked. The Dark Harp Dragons were learning too; they were growing!
The scariest thing about predators is just this!!
People can control themselves from making noise, and breathing can be completely undetectable with the wind. But how can you control the beating of your own heart? Death was so close, and under such oppressive torture, few could keep their hearts undisturbed.
Finally, the Dark Harp Dragon elder still noticed something amiss.
By releasing this “heartbeat sound” over and over, they could now more accurately locate “wooden people” making similar sounds. With precision, the Dark Harp Dragon elder brought its head toward Lu Ying and pressed its Dragon Horn against the place where her chest was…
They likely needed some recognition, to make sure it wasn't just the sound of grass rustling in the wind, so the movements of the Dark Harp Dragon elder were very slow and extremely focused!
The blood and flesh of those who had just died still clung to the mouth of this Dark Harp Dragon elder while Lu Ying remained motionless, her eyes wide with terror.
Zhu Minglang, at the back, watched this scene, equally tense to the extreme.
Previously, in the territory of the Red Striped Death Dragon, Lu Ying's bravery and intelligence had earned Zhu Minglang's deep respect. She was a Sword Master unafraid of life and death…
But fearlessness in the face of death and being tormented in such humiliating defeat were two different things.
