Everyone gradually fell into trouble, their physical strength began to decline, and more wounds on their bodies were getting more and more.
"It won't work if this continues!" Zhang shouted anxiously, "We will be exhausted!"
At this moment, a shrill scream cut through the night sky...
In order to protect Luo Xiaoyu who was knocked down by the evil beast, Zhang Langzhong grabbed a blood mark with deep bones by a beast that looked like a wild wolf.
The bloody blood dyed her sleeves red instantly. Doctor Zhang groaned and staggered back a few steps.
"Doctor Zhang!" Grandma Lin exclaimed, her voice trembled, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
Xiaohong was even more scared and her face turned pale. She grabbed Grandma Lin's clothes tightly and her body shivered.
The roar of evil beasts, the screams of companions, and the impact of weapons were intertwined, like thunder dying in everyone's ears.
The people surrounded by the evil beasts are like a small boat in the stormy waves, and they are at risk of overturning at any time.
The sentiment of despair spread like a plague, and everyone's face was filled with fear and helplessness.
Xiaohong closed her eyes tightly and covered her ears with her hands. The roar of the evil beast sounded like the roar of an evil ghost from hell. Fear was like an invisible big hand that tightly clamped her throat, making her almost unable to breathe.
She could feel the smell of blood all around her, hear the painful moans of her companions, and even more, the shadow of death was overwhelming everyone's heads.
Suddenly, a strong figure flew out of the dense forest and appeared in front of everyone like a ghost.
It's a gray-haired hunter!
He held a handful of burning herbs in his hand, and a strange fragrance spread.
"It's the beast-driving grass!" Elder Chen exclaimed, "The beast-driving grass that can disperse all beasts in the legend!"
The gray-haired hunter threw the beast-repelling grass in his hand towards the evil beast group. The herbs quickly burned after they landed on the ground, emitting a stronger fragrance.
A shocking scene appeared. The group of evil beasts that were attacking frantically retreated one after another, letting out uneasy roars, as if they were extremely afraid of the fragrance.
"We are saved!" Zhao Blacksmith shouted excitedly, and the light of hope rekindled in his eyes.
Everyone cast gratitude eyes at the gray-haired hunter.
The gray-haired hunter looked solemn, his eyes swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, the effect of the beast-driving grass is limited, and..." Before he finished speaking, several more large beasts, regardless of the strong smell of the beast-driving grass, made a deafening roar, stared at everyone with scarlet eyes and rushed over again...
Those huge beasts were obviously not comparable to ordinary beasts. They ignored the strange fragrance emitted by the beast-driving grass, their scarlet eyes locked on everyone, and their thick limbs trampled on the ground, and rushed over again with a bloodthirsty madness.
The sharp claws cut through the air, causing a sharp whistling, as if they were about to tear everyone into pieces.
The hope that had just risen for everyone was once again shrouded in the shadow of fear, and his heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible big hand, and he could hardly breathe.
"Don't be crazy!" An angry shout exploded like thunder. The man in white was in a windless sleeve. A powerful airflow burst out from him, instantly overturning the evil beasts rushing in front to the ground.
He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a dazzling light condensed in his palm, emitting a hot light like a small sun.
Wherever the light passed, the evil beasts were burning, making shrill screams, retreating one after another, not daring to get close.
"It's the young man in white!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, his face full of hope again, "It's great, we're saved!" Everyone cheered. They looked at the figure of the man in white like a god, and their hearts were filled with admiration and gratitude.
"Amitabha." A solemn Buddha's name sounded, and Master Lingyin put his hands together and recited the scriptures silently in his mouth.
A golden Buddha light emanated from him, like a huge light cover, covering everyone.
Wherever the Buddha's light reached, the ferocious evil beasts roared as if they had encountered nemesis, and did not dare to get close to them.
The gentle power of Buddha's light also soothes the fear in everyone's hearts and gradually calms down their minds.
Xiaohong looked at the man in white, while Grandma Lin held the injured Doctor Zhang with concern, and carefully bandaged the wound on his arm with clean strips of cloth. The movements were gentle and meticulous, just like treating her own children.
Everyone encourages and supports each other. In danger, the power of friendship becomes stronger and deeper.
Suddenly, Elder Chen pointed to the distance and shouted, "Look, everyone, that's... that's the leader of the beast tide!" Everyone looked in the direction Elder Chen pointed, and saw a huge black panther slowly walking out of the depths of the dense forest.
Its body is as tall as a hill, its black fur shines with faint light like obsidian, and its scarlet eyes are like two balls of beating flames, emitting a terrifying aura.
"As long as you kill that black panther, the beast tide will dissipate!" Zhao Blacksmith waved the hammer in his hand and shouted loudly.
Everyone responded, and they knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to work together to fight against this powerful black panther.
Li Hunter held a hunting knife and rushed to the front, taking the lead in attacking the Black Panther.
Blacksmith Zhao followed closely behind, waving his hammer and slamming the black panther's body hard.
Others also took out their weapons and launched an attack on the Black Panther.
The black panther was not afraid of the attacks of the crowd. It roared deafeningly, waved its sharp claws, and fought fiercely with the crowd.
Although the Black Panther was extremely powerful, under the joint attack of everyone, some wounds gradually appeared on its body and began to retreat step by step...
Just when everyone thought victory was about to win, the black panther suddenly stopped retreating. It growled, and its whole body seemed to have expanded. The air around it became restless...
Although the Black Panther retreated step by step under the siege of everyone and was covered in scars on its body, its eyes were even more fierce, and a powerful force suddenly burst out, shaking everyone away.
This sudden change was unexpected.
The hammer in Zhao's blacksmith's hand was shaken away, and the tiger's mouth hurt. He looked at the black panther in disbelief and exclaimed: "What's going on? Why did this beast suddenly become so powerful?"
The Black Panther did not pursue the victory, but let out a low roar, revealing a strong sense of protection in her eyes. Everyone looked along its gaze and found that a stone with strange light was hidden behind the Black Panther.
The stone was not big, but it exuded an irresistible attraction, and everyone was puzzled.
Just as everyone was stunned, the Black Panther's attack became even more fierce. Its claws seemed to carry a mysterious force, and each time they waved it, it brought a strong wind, which made everyone unable to resist.
Liewoo could not dodge and was hit in the chest by the black panther's claw. Blood gushed out and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao blacksmith roared and rushed forward again, but was swept by the black panther's tail and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing the two of them falling to the ground, everyone was shocked and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, the man in white flew up, made gestures in his hands, and muttered something. A powerful force surged out of him and confronted the Black Panther head-on.
One man and one beast collided violently in the air. For a moment, sand and stones flew away, and the light shone everywhere, and the two sides could not stand stalemate.
"No! This beast is going to fight to the death!" Elder Chen exclaimed, "Be careful, everyone!"
The man in white looked solemn. He felt that the power of the black panther was still increasing, and he thought to himself: "What is this thing guarded by the black panther?"
Liehun's blood stained the ground red, and Blacksmith Zhao's heavy body fell down like a mountain, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and the shadow of fear enveloped everyone's heart.
Luo Xiaoyu's hands trembled unconsciously. She held the weapon in her hand tightly, but felt extremely powerless.
Grandma Lin covered her mouth and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, tears slid from the corners of her wrinkled eyes.
Doctor Zhang anxiously wanted to go forward to treat him, but was pulled by Wang Huowen: "It's too dangerous, Doctor Zhang! Now he's going to die!"
The Black Panther was as fast as lightning, and its power was even more amazing. The attacks of the crowd fell on it, like a tickling, without any effect.
Despair spread in everyone's hearts. They felt like a small boat in the sea, which could be swallowed by huge waves at any time.
The gray-haired hunter frowned. He had never seen such a powerful beast before, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Master Lingyin silently recited the Buddhist scriptures, trying to calm down his inner fear, but his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Xiaohong's eyes were locked tightly on the man in white, and her heart seemed to be tightly held by an invisible big hand, and her breathing became difficult.
She saw the man in white and the black panther fighting fiercely in the air, and every collision made her frightened.
She was afraid that the man in white would fall down like Li Liehun and Zhao Blacksmith. She could not imagine the consequences of losing the man in white.
"Don't panic, everyone!" Elder Chen's voice sounded in everyone's ears. Although his voice was not loud, it had a reassuring power.
"I discovered that the source of the black panther's power is the gem on its neck! As long as it destroys the gem, it can weaken its power!"
When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes to the black panther's neck. Sure enough, they saw a gem flashing with a faint blue light, looming in the black panther's thick hair.
The flame of hope rekinds in the hearts of everyone,
"Okay! Everyone concentrate on attacking the black panther's neck!" The man in white shouted and took the lead in attacking the black panther.
Everyone responded, and the weapons in their hands rushed straight to the black panther's neck with the sound of breaking through the air.
The black panther seemed to have noticed everyone's intentions.
"Elder Chen, you are so amazing!" Luo Xiaoyu said excitedly, and everyone else also cast admirational gazes at Elder Chen. They were full of trust in Elder Chen's wisdom and experience.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the black panther suddenly let out a deafening roar...
The black panther let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves made everyone's eardrums buzz, and the ground under his feet trembled slightly.
Its scarlet eyes were filled with madness and determination, and its sharp claws were swinging more rapidly, with almost no gaps, and everyone was in trouble again.
Every attack is filled with a fierce and powerful wind, which is unbearable.
The tenacity and ferocity of the Black Panther are far beyond everyone's imagination.
It is like an insurmountable mountain, blocking everyone.
The man in white looked solemn. He knew that it was difficult to suppress the Black Panther with his own strength.
He gave Master Lingyin a look, and the two nodded tacitly.
Master Lingyin clasped his hands together and muttered something in his mouth. A powerful Buddha light emanated from him and enveloped everyone.
The man in white flew up and made gestures in his hands, and a dazzling white light rushed straight into the sky.
The two forces converge together to form a powerful energy field that envelops the black panther.
The black panther's movements were obviously slowing down, and the crazy look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of horror.
Everyone was relieved when they saw this.
At this moment, the gray-haired hunter seized the opportunity, bent his bow and arrow, and a sharp arrow shot the gem on the black panther's neck accurately with the sound of breaking through the air.
With a "click", a tiny crack appeared on the gem.
The black panther let out a painful wail, its power weakened significantly and its movements became slower.
Xiaohong looked at the injured people with distress, tears rolling in her eyes.
The man in white hugged her gently and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we will be fine." The two of them were full of love, and it seemed particularly precious in this crisis moment.
Grandma Lin was busy bandaging the wounds for the injured Liehun and Zhao Blacksmith. Her kind face was full of worry and kept muttering: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva bless..."
"Everyone work harder, victory is right in front of you!" Elder Chen encouraged loudly.
Everyone responded one after another, and the friendship became deeper in difficulties. They supported each other and faced the challenges ahead together.
As the gray-haired hunter shot out the last arrow, the gem on the black panther's neck was completely broken, turning into starlight and dissipating in the air.
The black panther fell to the ground weakly, his eyes lost all the evil light, leaving only deep fatigue.
Behind it, an ancient and mysterious treasure chest slowly emerged, emitting a faint golden light, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone approached the treasure chest curiously, but the black panther struggled to stand up and blocked the chest, making a low warning sound in his throat.
"It...it also wants to protect the treasure chest!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed.
The black panther crawled on the ground, and the heavy breathing sounded like a broken bellows. The gems on their necks were shattered, and star-like fragments dissipated in the air.
It struggled to hold up, shakingly blocking the treasure chest, and a low warning sound came from its throat, as if the twilight king was guarding the last territory.
Everyone looked at each other. The dying giant beast had such a tenacious will.
"What should I do? It still seems that it will not let us get close to the treasure chest." Luo Xiaoyu asked anxiously, holding the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, ready to attack again at any time.
"Wait a little longer." Elder Chen said in a deep voice, but his eyes turned to the old man in white who had been silent in the team.
The old man in white slowly stepped forward, and he walked slowly and firmly every step, as if he had some strange magic.
He walked to the Black Panther, stretched out his dry palm, and muttered something in his mouth, as if communicating with the Black Panther.
Everyone held their breath and watched the scene curiously, not understanding what the old man was doing.
A mysterious atmosphere spreads in the air, making people feel inexplicably nervous.
The waiting time seemed particularly long, and everyone's hearts were hanging.
Black Panther's eyes flashed, as if she understood the old man's words, but she was full of hesitation and struggle.
It looked at the treasure chest behind it from time to time, then looked back at the old man, with a hint of indescribable sadness in its low growl.
"What is it thinking?" Xiaohong asked in a low voice, her heart full of worry, worried that the Black Panther would suddenly start to hurt people.
"Don't go over." The man in white grabbed Xiaohong's hand and gently brought her back behind him. "Be careful." Xiaohong felt the warmth in his palm, and felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't help but want to go forward to check what was going on.
"Roar--" Black Panther suddenly let out a deafening roar, and everyone's hearts tightened...
The longer everyone waits, the stronger the uneasiness in their hearts.
The black panther's roar echoed in the air like an invisible sharp blade, cutting off everyone's nerves.
Luo Xiaoyu tightened the bow and arrow in her hand, and her fingertips became pale with force. Her eyes glanced back and forth between the black panther and the treasure chest, as if she was ready to take the next move at any time.
Xiaohong bit her lower lip tightly, feeling uneasy, she often (){

The longer everyone waits, the stronger the uneasiness in their hearts.
The black panther's roar echoed in the air like an invisible sharp blade, cutting off everyone's nerves.
Luo Xiaoyu tightened the bow and arrow in her hand, and her fingertips became pale with force. Her eyes glanced back and forth between the black panther and the treasure chest, as if she was ready to take the next move at any time.
Xiaohong bit her lower lip tightly, feeling uneasy. She occasionally cast worried eyes at the old man in white, hoping that he could make a difference.
Grandma Lin patted Liehuo on the back gently, comforting him not to be too nervous, with a hint of kindness and strength in her tone.
The surrounding environment also seems to be depressed by this tense atmosphere.
The night is low, the moonlight is blocked by heavy clouds, and a humid and solemn atmosphere is filled with the air.
On the wet grass, dewdrops flashed in the faint light, like countless crystal tears.
The deep bird songs came from the woods in the distance, intertwined with the roar of the black panther, making people feel even more uneasy.
Doctor Zhang stood on the edge of the crowd, frowned.
He whispered, "Be careful, there may be danger in this treasure chest. Although we don't know why this black panther is so stubborn, its existence itself means that this treasure chest is unusual." His tone was calm and rational, as if reminding everyone not to forget to be alert while being excited.
Just as everyone's hearts were hanging tighter and tighter, the black panther suddenly let out a deafening roar.
A hint of hesitation and sadness flashed in its originally firm eyes.
Finally, Black Panther sighed, slowly moved away from the road, and used the last strength to protect the treasure chest, as if conveying some message to everyone.
Although its movements are slow, they are extremely determined.
Seeing this, everyone felt excited.
They walked carefully to the treasure chest, and each step seemed particularly heavy.
Grandma Lin stepped forward first, and she gently touched the surface of the treasure chest with her trembling hands, feeling the cold and mysterious texture.
