The excellent organizational discipline of the fangtooth beast riders gave them the confidence to dominate for a time, but it also led to unexpected hesitation and surprise during critical moments.
So when their leader stood opposite them, they exhibited a state completely opposite to their usual bravery and decisiveness.
Especially after another third-tier vice leader was suddenly killed, the entire fangtooth beast riders fell into chaos.
The front line, having already retreated due to Ye Zhongming's two attacks, had some fleeing towards the valley, some running towards another team, and others wanting to continue attacking Ye Zhongming's squad.
Meanwhile, the other team watched in shock as their big leader killed their second leader, growling lowly, the team was in disarray, fearfully looking at the big leader while still fantasizing about waiting for the next command.
Only moments later, they discovered that the big leader not only did not stop but charged into the team. As he surged through, one comrade after another was ruthlessly slaughtered.
The fangtooth beast riders had a strict hierarchy, which is why they displayed such rigorous discipline in battle, but at this moment, they were only filled with fear and evasion. With the big leader rampaging through, not a single beast rider dared to stop him.
Ye Zhongming's squad watched quietly, fearing that their involvement would provoke a counterattack from the beast riders. After all, their leader might not face resistance when taking lives, but if they intervened, the outcome was uncertain.
This situation continued for over a minute until the big leader had killed dozens of his former subordinates. Under the stimulation of blood and survival, some beast riders finally rebelled, but they still did not dare to act against the big leader and instead charged towards Ye Zhongming's squad.
The battle erupted again, but this time from facing a disciplined team of over two hundred third-tier beasts, it turned into dealing with less than a hundred chaotic and panicked second-tier beasts.
The outcome was predictable; half an hour later, the battle ended with the last beast rider being slain.
The squad suffered no losses, with only shengyuan and Park Soo-young feeling somewhat sluggish due to mental exhaustion.
Re-sealing the third-tier beast rider leader back into the Slave Control Card, the once shimmering card appeared somewhat dim. This indicated that the sealed battle slave was either injured or severely exhausted and would need time to recover. Once it returned to its pristine state, it would signify a perfect recovery.
Having cooperated with Ye Zhongming for a long time, the squad members didn't need instructions and began quickly clearing the battlefield. Candy and Tang Tian glanced at each other and followed suit.
Ye Zhongming personally handled the materials from the fangtooth beast riders. Their two fangs and claws were quite valuable.
The battle had been intense but without danger, yet cleaning up the battlefield was very time-consuming due to the sheer number of monster corpses in the valley. Even though many had been eaten, the remaining amount still surprised everyone, making them wonder just how many monsters the boss had killed here over the past few days.
The injuries from the earth yellow pill had long been treated by Park Soo-young, who had gone to the valley entrance to keep watch. Of course, the third-tier beast's corpse was being dragged away by this fellow, munching away while working.
From the fluctuations emanating from it, the big dog had once again reached the brink of evolution, causing Ye Zhongming to marvel at just how quickly mutated life forms evolved.
With so many third-tier beasts to consume this time, who knew, maybe one day the earth yellow pill would become the first in the squad to reach third-tier evolution.
Candy had a love-hate relationship with the earth yellow pill, always wanting to go pet it, but upon seeing the white magic crystal on the big dog's forehead, she was frightened. This was, of course, also related to the earth yellow pill not being very friendly to strangers.
