My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 297 - 296: Lucky to Survive

In the deepest part of Beast King Valley.

Inside a cave.

A giant bear sat on a stone, holding a cup of fine wine in its left hand and a chunk of fatty meat in its right. It took a swig of the wine, then a bite of the meat, smacking its lips contentedly, a look of enjoyment on its face.

Wine and meat, such great pleasures of life.

"Your Majesty," a monkey rushed in.

"How's it going? Are all those human cultivators dead?" the giant bear asked indifferently.

"More than half are dead or injured…"

"Hmm?" The bear's expression darkened. "Only more than half dead?"

"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but those human cultivators are quite formidable…"

"How formidable can they be?"

"They…"

"Pass on my command, tell the ferocious beasts to increase their attack power, and ensure that all humans are killed before night falls," the giant bear said coldly.

"Yes." The monkey accepted the command and left.

"Bang!"

The giant bear put down its wine cup and sneered, "This is what happens when you anger me! Let's see if you dare to run wild here again in the future!" With that, the bear stuffed the remaining meat into its mouth.

...

The beast tide continued, and the human cultivators were in grave danger.

In just half a day, more than half of the human cultivators had died; those who remained were all injured and couldn't hold on much longer.

Of course, the ferocious beasts had also suffered significant casualties.

"We need to call for reinforcements!"

"Senior Bu Yang is right outside Beast King Valley, we must ask him for help!"

"Senior Bu Yang is a Golden Core Stage cultivator, we can be saved if he makes a move."

"The key issue is… how do we call for help?"

"We are surrounded by ferocious beasts on all sides, there's no way we can break through!"

"Then what do we do? Just wait here for death?"

The disciples from various sects were all panicking.

...

Back inside the cave.

The giant bear continued to drink and eat heartily, unconcerned about the slaughter outside.

"Your Majesty." A huge rat entered. "I have something to report."

"What is it?" the giant bear asked.

"Please order the ferocious beasts to stop attacking."

"Why?"

"Has Your Majesty considered? If all the human cultivators die here, it will surely alarm higher-level humans. If they come seeking revenge, Your Majesty will be in danger."

"Eh?"

"More than half of the human cultivators are dead or injured; Your Majesty's anger must have subsided. Let us end this here, and not pursue a policy of extermination."

"You make some sense." The giant bear nodded.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, issue the order quickly, any later… and all human cultivators will be dead," the rat urged urgently.

"Fine, I will issue the command now." The giant bear threw out a token. "Take this token and command the ferocious beasts to stop attacking."

"Your wisdom is unparalleled, Your Majesty." The rat picked up the token and quickly left.

"That little rat is quite intelligent," the giant bear nodded: "Once this is over, I'll have it come to serve as my military advisor, to help me with strategies." Saying this, the bear took another sip from its wine cup.

...

Outside.

The battle raged on.

Filled with despair and unwillingness, the human cultivators fought desperately, but their end... ultimately could not escape the word "death."

What is the most terrifying thing? Surely, it's death!

Any normal person doesn't want to die!

"Swoosh!"

The ferocious beasts suddenly stopped their attacks and then quickly retreated.

The disciples of the various sects were stunned, "What's happening? Why are the ferocious beasts retreating?"

"It doesn't make sense, they were about to win!

"Why retreat?"

"Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

"I just can't figure it out, can't figure it out."

"Enough, stop thinking about it, and run. If the ferocious beasts come back, we're as good as dead."

The disciples of the various sects turned and ran.

They only stopped after running all the way to the exit of Beast King Valley. They looked back and saw silence; the ferocious beasts didn't chase after them at all.

"They didn't chase us? Did they really retreat?"

"Why is that?"

"I'm finding my brain a bit inadequate right now..."

"The thoughts of beast kinds... are unfathomable to humans."

"What should we do? Just leave? or... wait a while longer?"

...

Now, everyone faced two choices, first, leave Beast King Valley and end the trial early, second, stay here and continue with the trial.

I looked at you, and you looked at me, for a moment, no one knew what to choose.

"To go out just like this... I can't accept that." One disciple said, "I came here aiming for first place."

"I can't accept it either." another disciple said.

"If you can't accept it, then stay, no one's stopping you."

"The more people die, the higher our rank can climb."

"How can you talk like that! Looking for a beating, huh?"

"You're the motherfucker looking for a beating!"

"No one stop me, today I'm going to give him a good thrashing."

"Stop bragging. You think you can beat me? Maybe in your next life!"

A few disciples got into a fight and moved forward to come to blows, but others pulled them apart in the end.

"Don't you see what time it is!" A higher-cultivation disciple said sternly, "The ferocious beasts could come back at any moment, we should unite our efforts and fight the beasts together." On that note, the disciple paused, "Let's discuss it, everyone, whether to go or stay."

There were over a thousand disciples participating in the trial, but after the fierce battle, only a few hundred remained, more than half were dead, which was unexpected for everyone.

At the beginning, everyone gathered to discuss together, but after a while, they split up into groups, with disciples from the same sect gathering together, conversing in low voices.

In the southwest direction, a group of people stood; they were the disciples of Tianyang Sect.

"We came in with thirty people, now only eleven remain, nineteen dead." Miao Zheng said with a heavy tone, "I'm incompetent as a team leader, I couldn't protect everyone."

"Senior Brother Miao, you don't need to blame yourself, this was an accident."

"Speaking of which, our Tianyang Sect has the slightest losses. Look at the other sects, even fewer of their people survived."

"I regret coming to this trial."

"I regret it too."

"Is regret useful? There's no medicine for regret in this world! Anyway, we're lucky enough, having survived the onslaught of the beast tide, it's simply a miracle."

"What do we do next? Leave? Or..."

"Leaving like this... it's too shameless."

"What's more important, pride or life?"

"The two can't even be compared!"

"How can they not be comparable? If you're scared of losing face, then stay and continue the trial! Those who want to live, leave immediately!"

"Enough, stop arguing." Miao Zheng waved his hands, "Those who want to leave, leave; those who want to stay, stay; no one is going to force you." he paused, and continued, "I will stay and continue with the trial."

"Ah? Senior Brother Miao, don't be impulsive..."

"Yes, Senior Brother Miao, striving for a rank is important, but life is even more important."
