Immortality and cultivation begin at age forty, starting with Foundation Establishment.

The Crimson Tiger Beast is a common second-tier monster in the Monster Mountain Range.

The Crimson Tiger Clan is not a social species. Once the cubs of the Crimson Tiger Beasts grow a little older, they are driven out of the territory by their mothers and left to develop on their own in the Monster Mountain Range.

Each second-tier Crimson Tiger Beast has experienced hundreds of battles and possesses rich combat experience. Furthermore, their lairs contain numerous spoils of war.

The Crimson Tiger Beast is the most territorial of all the demon beasts. It is rare to see other powerful demon beasts in its territory. If there are any, it can only mean that the Crimson Tiger Beast is resting after eating its fill.

"Awoo!"

As soon as they stepped into the territory of the Crimson Tiger Beast, they heard its roar, indicating that Chen An and his group had arrived at an inopportune time, as the Crimson Tiger Beast was not resting.

The Crimson Tiger Beast had already sensed the presence of outsiders.

The first roar was a warning. If Chen An and the others retreated immediately, the Crimson Tiger Beast wouldn't bother to chase after them. However, if they continued to stay after the Crimson Tiger Beast's warning, they would be met with an enraged Crimson Tiger Beast.

Yan Gang and the other veteran demon hunters were not afraid. They systematically arranged for the demon hunters to take appropriate countermeasures.

Several skilled demon hunters approached the direction of the Red Tiger Beast's roar, simultaneously using magic to ignite fireworks and forcibly attract its attention.

In addition, some people have set up traps, formations and other restrictive measures on the routes that the Red Tiger Beast might pass through.

Hunting demons is not a melee between wild beasts.

In a pure battle, a hundred demon hunters would not be enough to feed the Crimson Tiger Beast, but with the wisdom and various methods of cultivators, the two sides could barely put up a fight.

This monster hunt is a game of hunting super ferocious beasts.

Zheng Ping, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, felt the oppressive aura of the Crimson Tiger Beast emanating from the distant mountains. His heart pounded slightly, and he made a mental assessment: if he faced this Crimson Tiger Beast head-on, he would probably die in less than half a minute.

In the Monster Mountain Range, the Crimson Tiger Beast is unmatched in its solo combat ability. Few second-tier monsters can threaten it. Its only weakness is its low intelligence, but this does not prevent it from dominating the area.

Its low intelligence will only diminish the human's idea of ​​capturing the Crimson Tiger Beast and using it as a combat spirit beast.

"Awoo!"

Enraged, the Crimson Tiger Beast lured towards the cultivators who were setting off fireworks.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a cultivator died under the claws of the Crimson Tiger Beast, followed by a second, a third, and a fifth.

Of the original ten people, only five remained. They were still rushing as fast as they could towards the direction where the demon-hunting team had set up their trap.

The demon hunter at the very front was flashing red light, clearly using some kind of secret technique to forcibly increase his speed.

The demon hunter at the back of the group, seeing that he was about to die, took out a handful of talismans from his pocket and threw them behind him, just like the five people who had fallen earlier.

"Awoo!" The Crimson Tiger Beast raised its paw to swat away all the attacks, bursting out of the thick fog of the explosive talismans and continuing its pursuit.

The red tiger beast's eyes flashed with a red light. It had been enraged by the few ants in front of it and was ready to vent its emotions.

Just when the last demon hunter thought his life was over, the surrounding formation activated, and the Crimson Tiger Beast was briefly restrained in place.

Beams of spiritual energy shot out from all directions toward the Crimson Tiger Beast.

Ten miles away, Yan Gang and his men were guarding an armor-piercing cannon. All the formations and talismans were consumables; only this armor-piercing cannon was the key.

The Crimson Tiger Beast has formidable defenses, and only this armor-piercing cannon can penetrate its defenses and inflict fatal damage.

A perfectly formed Crimson Tiger Beast is agile and possesses a certain degree of danger perception. It will withstand weak talismans and formations with its own body.

However, it will definitely dodge the armor-piercing cannon when it fires. Unless a large number of armor-piercing cannons are used for trial and error, control formations will be useless.

Therefore, the biggest challenge in hunting Red Tiger Beasts is to exhaust them with manpower and resources, causing them to lose their sense of danger and ultimately be hit in vital areas by armor-piercing cannons.

Chen An, Ye Hongyi, and Zheng Ping remained motionless, silently watching the scene of the Crimson Tiger Beast being besieged.

If the three of them make a move now, can they take down the Crimson Tiger Beast?

Not necessarily. In fact, if the Crimson Tiger Beast were enraged, it might choose to forcibly kill one or two of the three of them.

Chen An will definitely be alright, Zheng Ping will definitely die, and Ye Hongyi's fate is uncertain.

One by one, the members of the demon-hunting team perished, but Chen An and the others were not heartbroken. To them, the deaths of these people were merely a consumption of spirit stones.

If they die, just recruit more. Even if they all die, you can still recruit more people to die.

The fact that the elite demon-hunting team suffered heavy casualties only shows that the team was not up to standard and did not reach the elite level.

If Chen An and the others really gain nothing...

Whether those who died in battle will receive compensation is still pending.

Those in power simply give orders, and those below have to risk their lives. With the right strength and in the right position, one can obtain sufficient resources.

If you lack the strength but desire resources, and are positioned in the wrong place, you are destined to die.

Death is the norm.

Seeing the heavy casualties, Zheng Ping couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, shouldn't we make a move?"

Ye Hongyi also looked at Chen An, not because she felt that too many people had died, but because she wanted Chen An to see her strength.

As soon as Chen An speaks, she will rush forward immediately and use her most powerful methods.

Chen An simply said softly, "Let's wait and see."

The elite demon-hunting team is well-equipped, with abundant magical artifacts, armor, talismans, and other items in addition to their cultivation level.

According to the established tactics, with perfect teamwork, so many members of the demon-hunting team should not have perished.

Unfortunately, during the mission, the demon hunters experienced different emotions and thoughts when facing danger, resulting in a less than perfect outcome.

Some people move too slowly, some are in a hurry and randomly throw out spells and talismans, and some are hiding their own life-saving talismans or magical treasures without releasing them.

Of the 100-strong team, only about 70 remained to control the battlefield.

If it weren't for the presence of Foundation Establishment cultivators like Chen An...

These people probably started to flee a long time ago.

In the chaotic ranks, they saw no hope of survival.

The scene that Chen An least wanted to see happened.

The deserter, a wounded demon hunter, unable to bear the fear in his heart, quickly fled to the rear.

If I'm injured, can I run away?

It wasn't mentioned beforehand, and there was no specific discussion, but this was a battlefield, and fleeing while heavily wounded would inevitably affect morale.

One person escaped, taking four or five injured people with him with him.

The team's defenses collapsed immediately.

Ten miles away, Yan Gang, who noticed this scene, was furious and pointed at the group of people, cursing them loudly.

"You beast! When you wanted to join the elite demon-hunting team, everyone was scrambling to give me things. Now that you know it's dangerous, you still dare to run away. You're just asking for death."

"You bunch of bastards got away? I, Yan Gang, am not to be trifled with."

Just as Chen An was about to have Zheng Ping kill the deserters, several veteran demon hunters at the rear of the group intervened. They swiftly killed the deserters and intimidated the rest of the group.

"Anyone who leaves the group without permission will be killed!"

On the battlefield, there are no serious or minor injuries, only those who can fight and those who cannot.

In the world of cultivation, there is no fairness or humanity, only life and death.

The members of the demon-hunting team, who receive the most generous treatment, are destined to face the most dangerous battles.

The unrest within the ranks quickly subsided.

The chase between the Red Tiger Beast and the Demon Hunter continues.

The demon hunters moved along a fixed path, throwing out talismans and magical artifacts, while the Crimson Tiger Beast chased after them frantically, breaking through obstacles along the way.
