Chapter 340 Skip A Beat

?An army of youths stood on top of a large and imposing wall situated at the top edge of a mountain.

The wall was equipped with a lot of heavy armored artillery, each one already being manned by multiple youths who gazed down below the mountain, completely alert and ready to respond to any threat that might occur.

The path to the mountain was filled with dangerous terrain, obstacles, and large beasts, each one more dangerous than the last.

The youths were arranged in orderly ranks, spread out horizontally behind the figures of ten individuals who stood out distinctly from the rest.

With ash-colored hair and glowing orange pupils, dressed impeccably, these were members of the Wildborne family, a tier two lineage under the ruling Frostvale family of Sector 8.

The nine youths were also lined up respectively behind the form of a young boy who gazed down the treacherous mountain, his orange eyes letting out an intense glow.

As the seconds ticked by, the youth suddenly raised his right arm and instantaneously the form of a large eagle-like beast burst out of the clouds above them, swooping down and landing gently on the youth's hand.

The youth's expression didn't change as the beast purred and rubbed its beak on his skin affectionately.

After a few seconds, the beast suddenly stood up straight and locked eyes with the youth, its pupil mirroring that of the youth's with an orange glow.

The orange glow in both the youth's and the beast's eyes grew in intensity as their gazes locked, forming an intricate connection between them. And in the next instant, a myriad of memories was replayed in the youth's head.

The Wildborne family had a bloodline that was related to beasts. But unlike the Frostvale family who could shapeshift, the Wildborne?family had the power to bond and control multiple beasts.

This, of course, had a lot of restrictions. Also, unlike the primitive lifestyle of the Frostvale family, the Wildborne?family all wore the clothes of the current times, each of them dressed impeccably in different-colored attire.

A few seconds passed, and one of the nine students standing behind the youth approached with a bow and asked carefully, "Young Master Eeus, what are your orders?"

Eeus nodded in approval. 'Even a tier one wouldn't be able to break this defense,' he thought with slight confidence.

But then his thoughts suddenly shifted as he remembered a particular white-haired boy. 'Except...' Eeus shook his head vigorously. 'I can't be that unlucky, right?'

Just as that thought crossed Eeus's mind, his gaze suddenly caught something coming from the forest.

'What's that?'

Eeus couldn't vividly see what it was because of the massive amount of dust around it, but he knew for a fact that it was large, incredibly large.

And it was moving through the forest, parting and uprooting trees as though they were twigs.

'What the hell,' Eeus's gaze immediately sharpened as his eyes instantaneously radiated an intense orange glow.

The petite form of Zattus immediately shot outside his clothes, its form immediately expanding in size as it shot through the air towards the direction of the incoming threat.

The others saw Zattus flying away and wondered what was going on. As they followed Eeus's gaze, they each became alert, grabbing their weapons and wondering what was approaching their camp.

'It can't be them, right? It's only been 30 minutes since the battle started! How could they possibly get here so fast?' Eeus frantically thought as he tried to make sense of the upheaval.

The distance between the two camps was something that even he couldn't cover in an hour if he were to run at full speed and if there were no distractions or obstacles in the way.

Unlike the last time when Zattus had to travel far, Eeus had maintained the connection between them this time around. He was able to see everything the beast was seeing.

After a few seconds, it reached the desired location, and as soon as it gained a clear view of the approaching threat, Eeus's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

With lightning speed, Eeus manipulated every ounce of mana within him, amplifying the intensity of his voice to staggering levels as it thundered through the air,

"Prepare every defensive option we have!"
