The speed was incredibly fast, fearing that if they were even a second slower, they would be dealt with by the Bear General.

Although, on the surface, the Tiger General emitted a violent aura everywhere, in reality, the Bear General was the truly violent Demon Beast; it just didn’t show it normally.

Regarding the Tiger General’s proposal, whether right or wrong, the Bear General would agree because, after all, the two Demon Beasts have experienced life and death together, both serving the Snake King, growing from weakness to their current state, with exceptionally deep feelings.

"Since you’re willing, why don’t you hurry up and make a sedan chair? Or do you want me to do it?"

The Tiger General’s violent aura suddenly engulfed the four Guardians, and the intense pressure left them breathless, sweating profusely from the forehead.

Carrying the sedan chair was one thing, but they also had to make it, practically not treating them as demons at all, but what could they do!

"Yes, Tiger General, Bear General!"

Responding respectfully, they then left the bamboo forest, using their abundant cultivation to cut down trees and make the sedan chair.

...

A dilapidated cave.

A round, yellow pangolin walked in from the outside, small in size, but its yellow scales gleamed brightly as it returned to its old lair step by step, lying on top with a face full of comfort.

"Sigh?! I didn’t expect that after just a few years in seclusion, such a genius human appeared outside!"

This round, yellow pangolin was the one frightened by the sight of the White Ape’s head.

"Fortunately, for my pangolin clan, we never stir up trouble; no matter how many geniuses have issues outside, we definitely won’t attract them, at least our lives are spared!"

"I spent this whole day notifying that group of little ones, really wore me out!"

The pangolin spoke as it lay in its lair.

Since learning that a human child decapitated the White Ape, it scurried around the Great Mountain to notify other pangolins of the clan. This day’s activity was more than its cumulative movement in decades.

"Finally, I can get a good night’s sleep!"

Having said that.

The pangolin was about to close its eyes for a good sleep.

Suddenly.

Outside the cave, the ground shook, and the already dilapidated cave let a ray of sunlight in, just falling on its face, causing its just-closed eyes to suddenly open.

"Who’s there! Can’t a being get some sleep!"

The pangolin jumped out of its lair, looked up, and saw that the gigantic tree covering the opening of the cave had disappeared, without any warning, without a trace of consideration.

"Who cut down my shading tree!"

This dilapidated cave was specially found by it because the more broken the cave, the less likely it was to house humans or Demon Beasts, let alone a Demon Beast in seclusion. Everything was an illusion to mislead.

Although the entire Great Mountain had many such caves, this cave was the only one with an opening, a dilapidated cave with a shading tree. Moreover, this shading tree was extraordinarily tall, standing out in the towering forest of the Great Mountain, the only one in the whole mountain.

The pangolin had treated this place as a treasure, yet it was destroyed like this. Even if it wanted to live in peace, it had to come out and reason for once.

The pangolin dashed out of the dilapidated cave and spotted the four Demon Beasts, cutting down its shading tree — a dhole, a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard. The four Demon Beasts emitted an aura comparable to the White Ape, making the surrounding air seem to freeze. However, the only incongruity with this terrifying scene was that these fearsome Demon Beasts were each carrying a giant tree on their shoulders.

At once, the pangolin’s arrogance instantly dissipated, and its entire body curled into a round, yellow ball, closing its eyes, as if like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, believing if it couldn’t see danger, there would be no danger.

"Please don’t kill me, please don’t kill me, I’ve been cultivating for a long time, living in harmony, shouldn’t have ended like this?!"

The pangolin kept praying in its heart, hoping these four Demon Beasts would spare it.

It was as if the heavens heard its prayers; the next moment, the four terrifying pressures dissipated, the surrounding wind howled as if nothing had happened.

Feeling the pressure lift, the pangolin stretched out, and the initially ferocious Four Fierce Beasts had truly disappeared. If not for the missing shading tree from its cave, the recent incident would seem like an illusion.

"Phew~~ scared me to death, I thought today I would be done for here!"

The pangolin’s short front limbs kept smoothing its chest, allowing its weak heart to calm down.

"Phew~~" the pangolin exhaled a long breath, finally dispelling its tension, wondering aloud, "What has happened to the Great Mountain? Strange events are frequent?"

"First, a special constitution of a peerless genius appeared in a small village near the Great Mountain, not yet two years old, decapitating the White Ape!"

"Now, four very powerful and unfamiliar Demon Beasts appeared, comparable to the White Ape in cultivation, and they’re not here for territorial conquest, but rather to cut down trees?"

The first strange event could be explained.

Although this was a borderland of the King of Yue with no stationed personnel, and the humans here had no cultivation system before its seclusion, yet such a peerless genius appeared in such an environment, and it seemed the King of Yue hadn’t discovered it.

Although the probability was very low, it wasn’t impossible to happen.

But the second matter was truly inexplicable.

Dhole, wolf, tiger, leopard, any one of these Demon Beasts was competitive and territorial, let alone when all four had profound cultivation, yet they could unite together?

This was an impossible occurrence.

For them to cut down trees was even more nonsensical.

"With their cultivation level, it’s obvious they could be each a king of a clan; even if they actually had to cut trees, they could have their subordinates do it, no need to personally come, right?"

The pangolin couldn’t figure it out no matter how much it thought.

"Could it be that those four giant trees have something special, I just haven’t discovered it?"

Thinking it over, this seemed the only possibility.

"Sigh!" the pangolin sighed deeply, "The Great Mountain today could indeed see any bizarre thing happen!"

Looking up at the vanished giant tree, it headed towards the depths of the Great Mountain.

"Looks like I’ll have to find another seclusion place, go deep into the mountain and bury myself in a dirt pit. Although a bit pathetic, it’s relatively safer, wouldn’t have other Demon Beasts raid my home!"

...

Deep in the bamboo forest.

Dhole, wolf, tiger, leopard, the four Guardians returned to the bamboo forest, the giant trees cut around the Great Mountain had been turned into a sedan chair.

This sedan chair was placed beside a lake.

The whole sedan chair showed a tawny color, with tawny tiger stripes carved all over the body. At the front of the sedan chair was a lifelike tiger head, half the height of a person, with ears standing tall as if listening to sounds from everywhere; its eyes wide open like two bright lamps, chilling rays exposed, seeming to pierce through all illusions in the world. The tiger’s mouth revealed fangs several feet long, flashing a cold light, exuding an innate authority and anger.

The Bear General stood in front of the Snake King’s sleeping cave, asking, "Are you satisfied now?"

The Tiger General stood before this sedan chair, patted it, and said with satisfaction, "Hmm! Not bad, this sedan chair suits my taste perfectly!"

"Since that’s the case, you should go quickly; you’ve long been unable to hold back your restless heart, right?"

"Haha!" The Tiger General laughed loudly, "The Bear General understands me after all!"

Having said that, it stomped the ground, and the massive figure leaped onto the sedan chair. Instantly, a pressure strong enough to crush everything emanated from the sedan chair.

The immense pressure caused the four Guardians carrying the sedan chair to stagger downward, nearly losing their grip, but fortunately, their cultivation was comparable to the White Ape, and the Tiger General deliberately reduced the pressure, preventing the sedan chair from falling to the ground.

"Set off!" The Tiger General, holding the Giant Blade, pointed towards the direction of the Great Wilderness Border Village.
