“This time, gathering everyone here is still for the Tian Dao antelopes. William, you arrange the tasks!”

William Foster, although taller than Henry Bennett, did not dare to defy Henry Bennett's arrangements in the slightest. He had already prepared a written note in his hand, and now he distributed the tasks to everyone.

“Eric Turner, your task is to work with Little Scott and Old Lee to do your best to stop the Tian Dao antelopes we are driving from escaping.”

William Foster said solemnly, “Remember, every single Tian Dao antelope is important to us. The more we hunt, the more bloodline potions we can exchange for.”

After using a bloodline potion, Eric Turner had lost some faith in them, but he knew clearly in his heart that while the bloodline potion might not be very useful to him, it was extremely important to the entire survival point.

After William Foster finished speaking, Henry Bennett added, “Every participant in the hunt present can receive a beast crystal as a subsidy.”

“In addition, whoever kills a Tian Dao antelope alone can not only get its meat, but also receive a beast crystal as a reward.”

Henry Bennett's rewards were generous, but Evan Clark and the others seemed used to it, and some even showed a hint of fear in their expressions.

After Henry Bennett and the others left, Little Scott clasped his hands together and said, “Thank goodness, this year’s task isn’t too hard!”

“Tch, you call that a task?” Ethan Reed said with disdain, “I bet when the time comes, you won’t be able to stop even a single Tian Dao antelope!”

With that, Ethan Reed strode away.

A day later, Eric Turner and four other advanced martial artists, including Little Scott, were lying silently in a dirt trench. This was their assigned area, and they had already been here for a full three hours.

“Why is there still no movement?” Eric Turner glanced diagonally across and whispered.

Little Scott also whispered, “The time when the Tian Dao antelopes pass by the settlement is only an estimate. As for the exact time, no one can say for sure.”

“If it’s slow, we might have to wait three or four days. If it’s fast, maybe we’ll see them soon!”

Before Little Scott finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

Amid the deep rumbling, Eric Turner saw a surging flood sweeping in from the distance.

One after another, giant sheep over two meters tall, each with a pair of horns more than a meter long on their heads, charged forward like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they were already close to Eric Turner and the others.

Although there was still some distance between them and the overwhelming herd of Tian Dao antelopes, Eric Turner instinctively gasped.

Eric Turner felt he only smelled a strange scent, completely unaware of how overwhelming and grand the aura that engulfed him was!

These giant sheep, moving at nearly fifty meters per second, were like massive tanks. With their huge horns, their unstoppable momentum could crush everything in their path!

No wonder even a bloodline warrior like Henry Bennett dared not confront the Tian Dao antelopes head-on, only hoping to ambush them from behind as they passed.

A crisp eagle cry rang out from the skies above!

The moment Eric Turner heard the eagle’s cry, he felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up and saw, high in the sky, a golden giant eagle over ten meters long swooping down.

The giant eagle’s feathers were like swords, and its pair of golden talons glimmered with a cold light.

In front of this giant eagle, Eric Turner felt like an ant. If the eagle wished, he would have no chance to resist.

“Eric Turner, keep your head down! What are you looking at?” Little Scott pressed down Eric Turner’s head and said sternly, “That’s a Rift-Slaying Golden Eagle. If we face it, we’re dead for sure.”

Just as Eric Turner’s head was pushed down, he saw the giant eagle’s talons simultaneously grab two Tian Dao antelopes, each nearly three meters tall, and soar into the sky.

The stampeding herd of Tian Dao antelopes didn’t pause at all, as if the loss of those two meant nothing.

“There are just too many Tian Dao antelopes. Losing one or two, or even a hundred or two, doesn’t matter to them.”

As soon as Little Scott finished speaking, Eric Turner saw a streak of crimson light suddenly shoot out from the running herd.

The crimson light flashed like lightning, and the moment Eric Turner saw it, it had already reached the massive Rift-Slaying Golden Eagle.

The eagle, just about to enjoy its meal, never expected that danger was lurking within the Tian Dao antelope herd!

It tried to release the two antelopes in its talons, but it was too late! In that critical moment, the Rift-Slaying Golden Eagle’s body shifted eerily by a full three meters.

The red light slashed across the eagle’s belly, and scalding golden blood sprayed down. The eagle, unable to care about anything else, dropped the two antelopes and painfully soared upward.

In an instant, the Rift-Slaying Golden Eagle had risen over a thousand meters into the sky!

At that very moment, another blade of red light shot up from the Tian Dao antelope herd, but although it was fast, it couldn’t reach the eagle already a kilometer high.

The Rift-Slaying Golden Eagle let out a mournful cry and flew away!
