Chapter - 3316

While everyone's attention was focused on the bushes, a shadowy figure was stealthily creeping up behind them unnoticed.

It didn't make a sound, just like a phantom.

Once it was close enough, it suddenly leaped up, charging toward the crowd.

Everyone's attention was focused on the bushes, completely oblivious to the stealthy attack that was underway.

Only Zeke remained on high alert, his senses keenly attuned to his surroundings. The moment the enemy leaped into action, he had already noticed them.

The enemy's speed was lightning fast and its attack was incredibly powerful. Zeke didn't even have time to attempt to stop them.

Left with no choice, Zeke could only resort to the next best option. He charged fiercely into the crowd, sending people flying.

Thus, the enemy's attack came to nothing.

Everyone present was taken aback, quickly turning their gaze toward the enemy who had launched a surprise attack.

Upon recognizing the enemy's appearance, a collective gasp echoed throughout the scene.

It was a tiger that was larger than a bull, its entire body covered in spots that resembled clouds. It was ferocious and exuded a suffocating aura.

"It's a Cloud Tiger, one of the demonic beasts!"

"D*mn it, I didn't expect to encounter Cloud Tigers here."

"Cloud Tigers was notoriously brutal and ferocious, earning them the moniker of the human harvester. Everyone, attack with everything you've got!"

Roar, roar, roar!

The Cloud Tiger didn't give the crowd much time to react before he pounced.

"Move aside!"

With a furious roar from Octantis, the troops immediately scattered. However, one member was too slow to escape and was caught by the Cloud Tiger, who tore off his arm. His agonized screams echoed through the heavens.

Octantis roared, "Deploy Killing Formation!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The crowd immediately sprang into action, swiftly forming a Killing Formation, effectively encircling the Cloud Tiger.

The Cloud Tiger sensed danger, fighting fiercely as he charged through the encirclement of the Killing Formation.

Octantis raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, hold your ground and don't panic! Defend your positions with your lives. Anyone who dares to leave your position will be punished accordingly!"

Just moments ago, the team members who were entertaining thoughts of fleeing could only abandon such notions and risk their lives to hold their positions upon hearing Octantis' words.

The fierce battle between the two sides shook the earth, with dark clouds swirling and rock shrapnels flying chaotically.

The fierce battle raged on for over half an hour before the Cloud Tiger, with a sense of reluctance, finally closed his eyes permanently.

Octantis' team also suffered heavy losses, with one team member losing an arm and another losing his life.

Almost all team members were injured.

A chunk of flesh from Octantis' thigh had also been bitten off by the Cloud Tiger.

Zeke felt somewhat nonplussed.

The Cloud Tiger was merely at the top stage of Sun and Moon Class. Yet the group, consisting of Nebula Class and Sun and Moon Class members had exerted a great deal of effort to kill it. In the process, they even lost a team member, while the rest of the team was battered and bruised.

They were nothing but a disgrace to martial artists.

However, judging by the expressions of Octantis' men, they seemed quite pleased with the result.

"Hmph, no matter how cunning the Cloud Tigers may be, in the face of absolute power, defeat is all they would see. However, I have to admit, this Cloud Tiger was more powerful than any enemy we've ever encountered."

"Indeed, I believe the Master would be quite proud to know that we joined forces to slay a Cloud Tiger. It's a pity that Curtis was killed by it."

"Curtis bravely sacrificed his life in the battle against the enemy. He died a hero and can rest in peace now."

As everyone spoke, they simultaneously prepared to dig a grave, intending to bury the deceased right where they were.

Suddenly, Zeke spoke. "If I were you, I wouldn't rush to bury the dead."

Everyone looked at Zeke quizzically. "Why? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Zeke said, "After the battle, shouldn't cleaning up the scene be the first thing to do?"

Octantis said, "The only enemy here has already been dealt with. Why do we even need to clean up?"

Zeke said, "I believe that the enemy must have had companions."
