However, the tremors this time were obviously different from previously.

In the deep impression of the sound of the ground, there was also a mixed sound of footsteps.

The three of them could tell that it was the sound of human footsteps and the sound of many people running together.

Moss frowned. He quickly understood that the Explosive Wolf pack was chasing people, and there were many of them.

At the next moment, more than ten people rushed out of the dense forest and ran in the direction of Moss and the others.

“Cullen.”

Moss frowned and saw the figure running in front of everyone. It was Cullen, who Ell had guessed had been ambushed.

Looking at his lively state, he did not look like he had been ambushed at all. He must have just been hiding when the wolf pack crisis broke out. Once again used the despicable method of abandoning his teammates to protect himself.

As soon as Cullen appeared, he saw Moss and the others on the tree.

Cullen’s expression suddenly changed. He didn’t expect to meet Moss here.

Before he Awakened his class, he was jealous and unwilling of Moss. But now, after seeing Moss’s abnormal super strength, he was even more afraid of Moss. Moreover, this fear became more and more severe because of Moss’ increasing power.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t kill people in this Mystic Realm, he might have really chosen to eliminate the enormous threat of Moss. He had no intention of showing mercy.

“Brother Cullen, those Magical Beasts are still chasing us. Will your method really work?”

Not giving Cullen too much time to think, the members of Cullen’s team who had been following behind him all this time turned around to look at the wolf pack and asked Cullen for a solution in fear.

Cullen was also busy running for his life at the moment, so he did not have the time to calm people down. When he heard his own team member’s question, he almost blurted out an insult.

However, at the last moment, he held back and deliberately raised his voice.

“Of course, it’s possible. You have to believe me. These Explosive Wolves could force us into such a situation because they have a lot of numbers. A single man guards the entrance of this valley. So, it can limit their advantage in numbers. If we block the entrance of the valley, won’t we be able to kill them all?”

After finishing his explanation, Cullen looked at the people running behind him.

These people were the participants of this test that he had gathered while he was wandering the realm. Previously, he had used his identity as a Swordmaster to make these people team up with him.

With the advantage of numbers, he could quickly kill Magical Beasts. Moreover, because there were enough people to target aggro, he could hide at the side and promptly harvest experience. Now, he was already Level-6.

Initially, he thought his level was high enough and had enough people under him. Therefore, he challenged the boss of this Mystic Realm. However, he did not expect these guys to be useless and could not even buy him some time.

‘Bunch of trash!’ Cullen cursed in his heart. However, he still acted as if he had victory in his hands on the surface. He shouted at the people behind him, “Isn’t that right, everyone?”

The students behind him answered, “Yes!”, “That’s right!”, “Let’s work harder!”

Although some of these people also felt that Cullen’s previous actions were strange and not appropriate ever since they entered this Mystic Realm, the fact is all kinds of difficulties had surrounded them.

Cullen led them out of these difficulties, and they even gained plenty of rewards later on. Therefore, these people had gradually taken it for granted that they would follow Cullen’s lead.

When they encountered a crisis, they began to rely on Cullen habitually. Although they were not without a bit of doubt, that little doubt would soon be obliterated by the sliver of truth contained in Cullen’s words.

Hearing the response of the people behind him, Cullen nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and continued to focus on escaping.

However, his heart was not calm.

‘These fools.’ He thought to himself.

‘When we reach the entrance of the valley, I will use all of you to block the beasts. I don’t believe that I can’t defeat the Mystic Realm Boss after I sacrifice your lives.’

Just as Cullen was scheming against his followers, “Ah!”

A scream came from behind them, followed by a second and a third.

The continuous screams made Cullen and the people running in front change their expressions.

Then, the Cullen follower who asked questions turned around and looked behind him. His expression changed drastically. Shock and fear flashed in his eyes. He shouted, “Brother Cullen, it’s the Mystic Realm Boss! The boss is catching up!”

Cullen’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard that.

“Has it eaten up so many people?”

When he was escaping, Cullen remembered that he had specifically chosen a direction that would allow him to avoid the boss entirely. At that time, the boss was still catching up to his other followers.

Cullen’s question left his followers at a loss for words. Cullen himself did not expect them to give him an answer. He clicked his tongue and cursed.

“D*mn it!”

He could not help but speed up a little. He only hoped that the people behind him could hold on until he ran out of this valley.

At the same time, he could not help but secretly hate that none of the people with him actually dared to turn back and stop this wave of wolves.

If there were even one person who could slightly delay the wolf pack’s charge, he would be able to escape the fate of being chased.

His gaze once again swept past Moss and the others, his heart itching with hatred.

It was not that he did not want to climb up the tree to hide, but they were being chased too closely by the wolf pack. There was simply no chance.

Moreover, he did not know whether it was an illusion or not, but Cullen always felt that the wolf pack was closely watching him. Even before the boss of the Mystic Realm caught up to him, the Explosive Wolves had been chasing after him.

Seeing that Moss and the others had already hidden, Cullen snorted coldly.

‘Do you want to hide? Stay here and be my shield!’

Cullen shook his hand gently. A golden-red light slid along the ground and flew toward Moss at a breakneck speed.
