Chapter 154: You go first, I will cover the rear!

The nine guardian beast guards surrounding Li He looked at each other in dismay.

The nine guardian beasts exchanged glances.

After a few breaths…

The nine guardian beasts slowly and tentatively approached Li He!

At this moment…

…

The Earth Rock Bear roared and said, "Brothers!

The Saint is merely in the Qi Gathering Realm and is all alone.

Yet there are nine of us!

What do we look like acting so timid?

Charge!

Are nine people afraid of the Saint alone?

How would that look if word gets out?

Brothers, charge for me!"

Finished speaking, the Earth Rock Bear roared and made a show of rushing forward!

At the same time…

Meanwhile, the remaining eight guardian beasts around were stirred up by the Earth Rock Bear's words, and they too rubbed their fists and made a show of charging toward where Li He was!

…

Seeing this, Li He instantly dropped his frivolous expression and struck a defensive posture.

Because although Li He could easily defeat any of the nine guardian beasts individually.

But if the nine guardian beasts joined forces to launch an attack on Li He.

Even for Li He, although facing the combined attack of these nine guardian beasts had a 9999/10000 chance of emerging completely unscathed.

However… what if?

Thinking of this, Li He decided to play it safe and put up a slight defense!

…

Li He assumed a defensive stance, watching the nine beasts roaring around and attempting to charge toward him!

A few breaths later…

The roars of the guardian beasts still resounded through the sky, but the attacks from the nine guardian beasts had yet to land on his body.

Li He looked around with a trace of doubt in his heart.

He saw that the roars were endless, yet the nine guardian beasts uniformly and coincidentally kept stepping in place without a single one taking a step forward!

Looking at the nine guardian beasts stepping in place, Li He suddenly inexplicably felt a funny thought arise!

At the same time…

The Earth Rock Bear, stepping in place, could not help muttering upon seeing this scene, "Brothers, charge!

Do not just stay stepping in place, move forward a bit!

Feel free to charge! I will cover your rear!

With me here, believe me, no one can cross me and stab you in the back!

Linghua, charge quickly!

Among us, apart from Brother Yinglong, only your speed is the fastest!

Even Brother Jinpeng's speed is a notch slower than yours!

This vanguard is undoubtedly yours!

Linghua, charge!"

…

Hearing the Earth Rock Bear's words, the Linghua Blue Bird opposite could not help rolling a huge pair of eyes at it and said, "Among us, your defense is the strongest!

Why do you not step forward to tank the damage?

You ran to the very back to cover the rear, does covering the rear require a meat shield to cover the rear?"

Hearing Linghua's roast, the Earth Rock Bear opened its mouth, wanting to retort something.

But after pondering for a moment, it still chose to give up.

Nothing else, simply because what the Linghua Blue Bird said was indeed a fact.

The Earth Rock Bear indeed thought this way and was prepared to do so.

The most important point was that with the Earth Rock Bear's brain, it was hard for it to think of other words to retort…

…

A few breaths later…

Seeing that the surrounding guardian beasts still chose to stay deadlocked in place, Yinglong, the tenth-floor guardian beast who possessed a Saint-rank Bloodline, finally could not help it anymore!

It let out a roar, scanned its surroundings, and said, "Look at yourselves one by one, are you still guardian beasts or not!

The Saint is merely in the Qi Gathering Realm, yet each of you is scared like this!

Cowardly as mice, what kind of appearance is this!

Stop calling yourselves guardian beasts!

In my view, you are even inferior to that hairless monkey in the distance who looks like it has kidney deficiency!

That kidney-deficient hairless monkey is even closer to the Saint than you are!"

Hearing Yinglong's words, the various beasts all lowered their heads in shame.

…

And the Monkey Head in the distance, hearing these words: "?????????"

The dumbfounded Monkey Head was dumbfounded at this moment.

"Pfft"

At this moment, Baicao, standing beside Li He, could not help holding its stomach and laughing upon hearing Yinglong's words.

"Master!

Once Yinglong mentioned it, I just realized that what Yinglong said is so right!

This monkey really looks a bit kidney-deficient.

Could it really be missing female monkeys too much!"

Looking at Baicao laughing wildly while holding its stomach, Li He for a moment could not quite keep a straight face…

At this moment…

Before the battle had even begun, a world where only the Monkey Head got hurt was achieved!

…

At the same time…

Scolded by Yinglong, the various beasts successfully raised their Battle Intent once again!

Looking at Li He in the distance, the Linghua Blue Bird felt at this moment that the Saint did not seem so terrifying after all, nor was he invincible!

The guardian beasts with such thoughts were not just the Linghua Blue Bird alone…

A few breaths later…

As the Battle Intent climbed to its peak.

With a roar from the Earth Rock Bear taking the lead in the charge, the Linghua Blue Bird followed closely behind.

The remaining beasts also closely followed and rushed toward Li He…

At this moment…

Standing in place, Yinglong nodded with satisfaction before silently and leisurely following at the very end.

Listening to the roars of the guardian beasts, Yinglong muttered in a deep voice internally, "Go ahead with your minds at ease!

With me here, I will cover your rear!

With me around, it is impossible for anyone else to cross me and stab you in the back!"
