In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

At this moment, Luo Jinfan and the others finally understood why they had let Little Rock Bear go.

Those who were entangled were in danger of dying at any moment.

As long as the Rock Bear Demon sets its sights on them, their lives will be in danger.

At the same time, they also understood why they hadn't been able to eliminate it despite being attacked from three sides.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Rock Bear Demon subtly instilled a sense of despair.

"contain!"

Li Yuan shouted loudly, hoping to remind everyone.

From the moment they saw the Rock Bear Demon, the members of both teams had already forgotten about their mission.

They felt that if they went to meet them, they would die.

This thought consumed all fighting spirit.

When Luo Jinfan and his group were asked to release Little Rock Bear, they looked down on them.

They felt that Li Yuan, the team leader, was incompetent and cowardly.

When the real danger arrived, they found their hands and feet trembling and weak.

In an instant, Xia Yao drew her sword and charged forward.

Shattered Feather Blade, the Xia family's top-tier martial art passed down through generations.

After Li Yuan's guidance and improvements, this martial art technique reached a new level.

Even with a clear difference in strength, Xia Yao was able to try to restrain him using her superb agility and martial arts skills.

But a beast of such power is not something she can handle alone.

Members of the two special forces teams around them looked like they were about to make a move.

But they hesitated and all wavered.

"Let's go together, together!"

Seeing that Xia Yao was in increasing danger, Cui Xuan encouraged the people around her to share the pressure.

But she was the only one trying to move forward; the team members behind her were still held back by fear.

Li Yuan followed up with a slash of his longsword.

This strike was aimed precisely at its weakness.

Most of the rock bear's body is covered in skin that is harder than rock.

Its flaws are invisible and intangible to ordinary people.

However, Li Yuan, with his talent for "fingerprint detection," had already clearly seen through it.

The moment the opening appeared, they immediately seized the opportunity.

The Rock Bear Demon mostly attacked Xia Yao without dodging her attacks, choosing to strike her with all its might.

But when Li Yuan swung his sword, it dodged it instantly.

It then looked at Li Yuan with an even more ferocious and ruthless gaze.

It wanted to use this method to intimidate Li Yuan.

The reason for this is naturally that it felt threatened.

Li Yuan focused on its weaknesses and was able to truly restrain it.

All Class A ferocious beasts possess some intelligence.

It knew very well that there were pursuers behind it, and if it couldn't escape, it would wear them down until it was dead.

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang's voice roared into the walkie-talkie, inquiring about the special forces team's situation.

Upon learning that they were still temporarily tied down, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and led the main force to rush towards this direction.

At the same time, Li Yuan and Xia Yao did their best to restrain the rock bear demon.

To others, it appeared that Li Yuan and Xia Yao were working together to deal with the situation.

But Xia Yao felt that she was doing something futile and posed no threat to the Rock Bear Demon at all.

It was Li Yuan's attacks that kept the Rock Bear Demon on high alert.

It seemed as if every move Li Yuan made could hurt it.

In Li Yuan's opinion, Xia Yao was underestimating herself.

Her basic skills and hard power are quite good. Without her restraint, the Rock Bear Demon is not so easy to expose a flaw.

Covered in iron and stone armor, such a ferocious beast already possesses astonishing defensive capabilities.

The two held off the enemy for about seven minutes before most of the reinforcements finally arrived.

"We're retreating."

Xia Yao and Li Yuan exchanged a glance and spoke softly.

They then leaped away with perfect understanding, leaving the battlefield to the pursuing warriors who were facing the enemy.

The special forces team's mission can be considered a complete success.

The fact that they've managed to hold off an A-level ferocious beast until now is already beyond the original mission requirements.

Li Yuan and Xia Yao stepped aside and watched as the main warriors took action to meet the challenge.

At this moment, Li Yuan still had his brows furrowed, and his expression was somewhat serious.

Judging from the morale and strategy of the main warriors, Li Yuan felt there was still a problem.

Xia Yao glanced at the situation and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Yuan.

She was still savoring the experience of working with him.

There's a feeling of perfect harmony between us.

Li Yuan seemed to have guessed what she wanted and was creating the perfect opportunity for her to make her move.

That kind of cooperation still feels very comfortable to think about now.

She now felt that Li Yuan not only had some skill in movement techniques, but his martial arts strength was also excellent.

However, in terms of martial arts prowess, he is somewhat inferior to other young prodigies.

Just as I was thinking about something, the situation suddenly changed drastically.

The main warriors caught up. Rock Bear Demon had been held back for so long; today's operation should have been completed by now.

The two little rock bears that Luo Jinfan kept behind desperately sought opportunities for the rock bear demon.

With a roar, it broke free of the encirclement and fled rapidly in the southeast direction.

The sudden scene was witnessed by Deputy Battalion Commander Fang, who rushed over, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

If they let such a force escape, he, as the deputy battalion commander, will surely be severely punished.

Xia Yao watched as the Rock Bear Demon charged towards her and suddenly thrust her sword in.

The sword landed perfectly in a crevice in the rock covering its back.

Xia Yao was being dragged along by it, but she clearly didn't want to let go and tried to hold it back with her own body.

But she wasn't strong enough, and instead, she was dragged away.

In fact, it would be more dangerous for her to suddenly let go at this moment.

The Rock Bear Demon can turn its head and bite instantly.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xia Zhao had given him help.

He even gave himself the top-level basic cultivation method, "Heavenly Gang Body Refining".

Putting everything else aside, just for this reason alone, I have to help.

Having found its weakness, Li Yuan pushed the Wind River Technique to its limit.

The knife tip pierced through; this cut truly injured it.

The rock bear demon, in pain, fled even faster, dragging Li Yuan and Xia Yao forward with it.

When Deputy Battalion Commander Fang saw this scene, his voice was almost hoarse from shouting.

"Main warriors, charge! What are you doing!"

"They dared to go up and fight even though others were supposed to be holding the line, and you guys still have the nerve to call yourselves the main force!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Fang seemed to be consumed by anger.

The performance of the main martial artists made him want to punch someone.

Furthermore, he would not accept it if Xia Yao were injured.

This is a direct descendant of the Xia family. If he is seriously injured here, how can he be blamed for poor command?

While cursing, Deputy Battalion Commander Fang leaped forward, intending to take action himself.

At this moment, the Rock Bear Demon should also be feeling the danger to its life.

Their escape speed is getting faster and faster; even a top-tier eighth-rank martial artist would have a hard time catching up with them.

In the span of a few dozen breaths, Li Yuan and Xia Yao were carried a long way by it.

As they slowed down, they arrived near a huge crater.

Li Yuan and Xia Yao looked on intently.

This pit was not marked on the map, and the Sunset Mountain campsite was completely unaware of it.

The next moment, the Rock Bear Demon jumped down without hesitation.

Li Yuan immediately drew his long sword and pulled Xia Yao over.

The two of them hung there on the edge of the pit.

After a moment, the two of them looked down.

Right below, a dense swarm of rock bear demons was moving about, numbering over a hundred...
