After leaving the Thousand Needles Forest, Lu Chen didn't waste any time and headed straight for Jiangbei City.
The strange thing was that Lu Chen's route was clearly the same as when he came, but the number of ferocious beasts he encountered was obviously much more. Moreover, every wave of fierce beasts he encountered was much more aggressive than usual.
This forced him to spend a lot of time dealing with the ferocious beasts that kept appearing, making the return journey very slow.
In the beginning, Lu Chen didn't want to get too entangled with the ferocious beasts. When he encountered ferocious beasts, he would release the aura of an intermediate martial artist to make these beasts retreat.
But after using it a few times, this move actually failed!
Not only were most of the beasts not afraid of Lu Chen's strength, but they also attacked Lu Chen even more aggressively.
And as time passed, this phenomenon became more and more obvious.
" Xuanling Sword Technique, first move!"
Two sword lights flashed, and an iron-toothed boar that was seven to eight meters long was cut into two. After twisting crazily on the ground a few times, it completely lost its vitality.
Seeing this, Lu Chen frowned.
The Iron Teeth Boar was a Level 2 vicious beast. It had a pair of extremely hard iron teeth. In addition, its skin was rough and its meat was thick. Its defense was extremely strong. Ordinary martial artists would have a headache if they encountered it.
Fortunately, this kind of fierce beast was not very aggressive. As long as it was discovered in time and avoided in advance, it would not attract the attack of the Iron Tooth Boar.
However, Lu Chen did not kill this one.
The Iron-Toothed Boar had just smelled Lu Chen's scent from afar, and it charged at Lu Chen like a madman. Even if it broke several trees in a row and even knocked its iron teeth crooked, it still wanted to hit Lu Chen with all its might.
This was very abnormal.
"That's strange. What medicine did the ferocious beasts take along the way? Why did you become so irritable?"
Lu Chen came in front of the corpse and used his long sword to gently open the Iron-Toothed Boar's eyelids. He found that its eye sockets were slightly blood-red, and its eyeballs were also slightly bloodshot.
"As expected, it's like this again."
Lu Chen's frown deepened.
This was because before killing this wild boar, Lu Chen had already killed many ferocious beasts that attacked him.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that it was normal for beasts to attack humans. However, as he encountered more and more beasts, Lu Chen realized that something was wrong.
It was true that berserk beasts would take the initiative to attack humans, but under normal circumstances, berserk beasts would use their beast instincts to attack humans through ambushes and sneak attacks.
Some of the smarter fierce beasts would even take the initiative to escape when they encountered martial artists who were too strong.
However, the beasts that Lu Chen encountered were not afraid of Lu Chen's Martial Master aura. Instead, they pounced at Lu Chen even more fiercely.
Only then did Lu Chen notice that these ferocious beasts were completely different from usual. Their breathing was heavy, and their eyes were blood-red, as if they had activated some kind of ferocity.
It was as if…
"Right! Just like the Greenwood Wolves that surrounded the White-armed Ape!”
Lu Chen suddenly recalled the scene in the Thousand Needles Forest.
The Greenwood Wolves were clearly no match for the White-armed Apes, but they were all biting at the White-armed Apes fearlessly. Even if the entire wolf pack was killed, they would not take a step back.
This was completely inconsistent with the nature of the Greenwood Wolf that knew how to advance and retreat!
"Something's wrong, something's wrong. Something must have happened to the ferocious beasts in the wilderness!”
However, Lu Chen had a bad feeling.
Hurry back to Jiangbei City!
No matter what happened to the beasts, the most important thing now was to return to Jiangbei City!
After making up his mind, Lu Chen quickened his pace.
Lu Chen didn't even bat an eye at those ferocious beasts that didn't care about their lives. He swung his sword and killed them all. In just a few dozen kilometers, he had killed no less than 200 Level 2 Ferals, and even more than a dozen Level 3 Ferals!
One had to know that Lu Chen took the safest route with the least number of beasts. If they didn't take this path, they might encounter even more ferocious beasts!
Not only that, as the sky gradually darkened, the ferocious beasts that attacked Lu Chen became more and more violent and fearless!
"Something's wrong! We have to go back as soon as possible!"
At this point, even if Lu Chen did not know what exactly happened to these ferocious beasts, he knew that something big was about to happen.
He had to return as soon as possible because Yue Ling was still at home.
However, as Lu Chen continued to move forward, the frequency of him encountering ferocious beasts increased, and the number of ferocious beasts increased. There were even many ferocious beasts that were clearly their natural enemies, but they actually appeared together and attacked Lu Chen!
Kill!
Lu Chen killed all those who blocked his way without mercy.
When the sun was about to set, Lu Chen finally made his way out of the unknown wilderness and entered the outermost hunting area of Jiangbei City.
As soon as Lu Chen entered the hunting area, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
He followed the sound and rushed over. He found a hunting team of about 30 people surrounded by hundreds of fierce beasts!
The team had a high number of people. There were more than half of them who were martial artists. Among them, there were five high-level martial artists, and the rest were all high-level martial apprentices.
A hunting squad with such strength was definitely one of the best in Jiangbei City. Of course, only this kind of team dared to go deep into the hunting area to hunt high-level fierce beasts.
Unfortunately, they had failed this time.
At this moment, they were being besieged by hundreds of fierce beasts and were already showing signs of not being able to hold on.
This was because the beasts surrounding them were all Level 2 beasts. The red-palmed bear in the lead had even reached Level 3!
This was equivalent to a martial master leading hundreds of martial artists to surround and attack them.
With such a difference in strength, it was only a matter of time before the hunting team lost.
"Retreat the formation! A high-level martial artist and I will fight against the red-clawed bear! Everyone else, hold the formation! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
The high-level martial artist leading the team shouted as he and the other four high-level martial artists tried their best to stall the red-palm bear.
Logically speaking, even if the five high-level martial artists could not defeat the Level Three Red Palm Bear, they could still guarantee that they would not lose for a short period of time. However, this red-clawed bear in front of them had clearly entered a berserk state. It was much more ferocious than usual. They could only do their best to resist and bitterly hold on.
Seeing that the hunting team was about to be defeated, Lu Chen quickly rushed over and slashed at the Red Claw Bear!
