Bab 144: Beasts Attack Jade Lotus Palace Sect's Group

This time, it was a pack of Crimson-Winged Bats, their leathery bodies blurring as they descended from the blood-red sky.

These agile predators, masters of sonic attacks, unleashed their signature "Crimson Shriek," a high-pitched sonic blast designed to disorient their opponents. The barrier flickered again, tiny cracks appearing in its once pristine surface.

The onslaught didn't end there. From the dusty plains emerged a pack of Sand Serpents, their sinuous bodies writhing beneath the surface before erupting in a surprise attack.

And from the rocky cliffs descended a swarm of Rock Lizards, their razor-sharp claws scraping against the barrier as they attempted to scale its surface.

As if in a well-rehearsed performance, eight distinct beast hordes, a gruesome menagerie of ferocious creatures, surrounded the Jade Lotus Palace group.
