Long Teng looked around the potato walls with novelty, and his eyes were shining at Xie Sen. “This tent is so great, where did you buy it? I want to buy it too.”

Maine looked at Xie Sen, then at Long Teng, closed his eyes and leaned against the trunk of the tree, speechless at underage children. Bai Jiao was also looking at the potato wall. When he heard Long Teng’s words, he laughed lightly and joked, “This is a special sale item. Only this one.”

“Wow, what a pity.” Long Teng looked regretful.

Bai Jiao held his forehead. This person really believed everything.

Xie Sen lost his smile. How Long Teng grew up without being kidnapped was a miracle.

The space enclosed by the potato wall gradually quieted down, there was only the occasional cracking sound of burning branches, but in the forest full of beasts, it seemed strange and cozy.

Not long after, Maine and Long Teng, who were leaning against the trunk of the tree, were the first to open their eyes. Their eyes were bright. Obviously they hadn’t slept. The roar of the beasts, and the shouts of the humans came from the right. It gradually became louder and louder, and even the sound of running footsteps could be heard.

Eventually, the chaotic footsteps stopped a short distance to the right of the potato tent. Even through the potato wall, the sound of heavy panting and chilling wolf howls could be heard.

Xie Sen and Bai Jiao also woke up. The four of them looked at each other, and very tacitly didn’t say anything.

“Damn! How can there be so many beasts all of a sudden?” Julos’ voice came from the right side, his voice full of panic, “What should we do now? You, go up and hold the fort!”

“Master Cox, A’Qi, who just moved to protect you, has been injured!”

“Yes, wounded! They must have been chasing us because of the smell of blood on you. You ran that way alone.”

“Julos!” The voice carried obvious anger. “You think A’Qi left us, and wouldn’t have been caught up by the beasts? This is the wilderness!”

“I told you not to walk around at night. The resting place A’Qi chose was safe and hidden, but you insisted on coming out.” Someone couldn’t hold back his temper.

Julos’ voice rose abruptly. “If I didn’t come out, how could I know if those people had brought the hyena pack to Maine as I instructed? The few of you are masters hand-picked by my dad, but you can’t even handle a pack of jackal beasts?”

“Before we encountered the jackal beasts, we also encountered the long-haired wild boar beasts and the spiked beasts!”

“You don’t have experience, and didn’t listen to A’Qi’s advice. Maine and his team, and the hyena pack will definitely fight. The smell of blood will definitely attract a lot of beasts, but you still prefer to be nearby, aren’t you looking for death?”

Julos was furious. “You guys don’t forget your mission is to protect me, not to accuse me. When I get out I’ll definitely tell my dad that you guys yelled at me.”

A low voice spoke up at this time, “Stop arguing for now. These jackals are going to make a move. Let’s go together. Julos, I know you have a weapon on you. You are an A class contract beast master, so you have to fight too.”

“Hmph, I can fight.” Julos snorted lightly, followed by the sound of a weapon being unsheathed.

A short, high-pitched wolf howl announced the start of the battle, and the next moment, the sounds of fighting replaced the human voices. The hissing of jackals and the clashing of objects mixed together. It sounded extraordinarily ferocious. It didn’t take long for some jackals to be killed, while the wolves’ wails made people’s hearts chill, and the battle was even more tense, with people crying out in alarm from time to time.
