Supernatural Store: I Have Too Many Divine Equipment - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Encountering a Pack of Beasts

“You don’t have to be so anxious. High-level demon beasts are not so easy to deal with,” Xiong Ba said gloomily.

Even if the Pegasus Team and Ye Lan Team could take down a high-level demon beast, they would definitely not have an easy time. Let them try and do all the hard work first, then at the end the Mighty Tyrant team could swoop in and take advantage.

The mission would be completed by them. If the high-level demon beast was strong enough, Xiong Ba would be even happier.

This was because he could use the excuse of supporting the mission, to legitimately take on the mission and reap the benefits.

While Xiong Ba was thinking about this, a team member ran over with an anxious expression.

“What’s wrong?” Xiong Ba frowned. Xiong Ba didn’t like these team members who were out of their wits when something happened. But he had no choice. That was because his Guardian Corps needed these people to support it.

“Brother Xiong Ba, it’s bad. There are demon beasts ahead, and there are many of them. They’re all surrounding us.” The team member who ran over was not even breathing evenly before he hurriedly reported.

“Calm down and speak properly. It’s just some demon beasts, yet you’re already so frightened. Can you still be considered a member of the Mighty Tyrant Guardian Corps?” Xiong Ba shouted in a deep voice.

“No, Brother Xiong Ba, there are many Warrior-level demon beasts among those demon beasts.” The man continued.

“What!” Xiong Ba suddenly stood up. Through the light of the bonfire, it was obvious that in the forest, the eyes of the numerous demon beasts emitted a terrifying and eerie light.

“Damn it, why are these demon beasts targeting us?” Xiong Ba’s pupils constricted slightly.

There were so many demon beasts, and there were also many Warrior-level demon beasts mixed in. Going into a battle with their current team that had been just thrown together could end up with them being wiped out.

Xiong Ba grabbed the pendulum hammer next to him. “Everyone get up and get ready to fight!” he shouted to everyone in the camp.

The camp was suddenly noisy. After being woken up, and realising the demon beasts around, everyone was in such a panic that it took a while for them to grab their weapons.

“Roar—!” A long howl came from the forest.

The eerie green light in those beast eyes also began to sway. These demon beasts finally began to approach them.

“Warriors, move forward. Mages, stay back and cast enhancements on the warriors and knights in front of you.” Xiong Ba was the leader of a large defense corps after all. Now that he was in charge of this temporary alliance, he was just barely qualified.

With someone in command, these defenders could still react and immediately execute. The heavily armored knights led the way. The warriors were mixed in with them as support. Mages waved their staffs around.

“Armor enhancement and strength enhancement! Hurry up and enhance it!”

At the same time, the surrounding demon beasts also revealed their true appearance under the light of the bonfire.

“It’s the Violent Fanged Hyenas!” one of the defenders could not help but exclaim.

The Fanged Hyena was a low-level demon beast in the Cloud Mist Forest, but it was one of the most terrifying demon beasts in the Cloud Mist Forest. As they moved in packs, even powerful demon beasts were often unwilling to approach their hunting range.

The last thing these soldiers in the Cloud Mist Forest wanted to encounter was the Fanged Hyena. This was because if they encountered a powerful demon beast, they could at least run. However, if they encountered the Fanged Hyena, they would definitely be completely wiped out.

“Ow00000—!” A loud hyena howl suddenly came from the demon beasts.

The Fanged Hyenas, which had been slowly approaching, suddenly picked up speed and pounced towards the soldiers. The teeth of the Fanged Hyenas which had never been cleaned and were slightly yellowed, flashed with their campfire fire.

“Charge forward!” Xiong Ba shouted. If they retreated now, the hard-fought front line would collapse. That would definitely be the worst situation.

Enhanced with magical protection shields, the knights braced themselves with their steel shields and met the hyenas head-on. With a bang, the charging Fanged Hyenas slammed into the steel shields. The warriors guarding behind the shields immediately stepped out from behind and used their weapons to finish off the Fanged Hyenas.

In just a few minutes, three or four Fanged Hyenas died in front of the steel shields.

“Good, that’s it. There’s nothing special about these Fanged Hyenas,” Xiong Ba shouted from the back of the group, carrying his hammer.

Xiong Ba’s gaze passed over the soldiers and landed on the Violent Fanged Hyenas. Even though they had thwarted their initial attack, if they did not kill the leader of the demon beasts, the Fanged Hyenas would definitely charge into their protective formation wave after wave.

Moreover, the Warrior-level Fanged Hyena hidden in the hyena pack had yet to appear.

A howl followed immediately, however, this time, the howl was much more urgent. In an instant, a few Fanged Hyenas, who were obviously taller than their own kind, walked out of the hyena pack and rushed towards the defenders.

To steady their hearts, Xiong Ba said, “Don’t be afraid, brothers in front. These Fanged Hyenas are nothing to fear.”

“Exactly. Look at all these hyena carcasses. I thought the Violent Fanged Hyenas of legend were scary.”

The soldiers in the frontline gripped their steel shields in excitement as they saw another wave of Fanged Hyenas charging towards them.

It was a terrifying sound. Several of the soldiers were knocked to the ground by the Fanged Hyenas, resulting in an opening in their formation.

The larger Fanged Hyenas stepped on the fallen soldiers and bit them with their bloody mouths.

Xiong Ba knew that these must be even more powerful demon beasts, so he shouted, “It’s the Warrior-level Fanged Hyenas! Retreat, retreat quickly!”

“Don’t block me. Who’s behind me and still standing here? Do you want to die?” The blood splashing everywhere finally reminded these soldiers of the horror of the Violent Fanged Hyenas.

The formation that he had painstakingly built was instantly scattered by the Violent Fanged Hyenas.

“As expected of a ragtag team, they are of no use.” Xiong Ba was instantly dumbfounded.

Xiong Ba did not expect that just the Warrior-level Fanged Hyena would be able to crumble this temporary joint defense regiment.

Actually, this was inevitable, since this temporary defensive regiment was made up of some weak defensive troops.
