“My god! This… This is a Diamond Beast King!!!”

　　When the group approached the roar, they were all completely shaken.

　　The beast was a giant Mythical Bear about seven or eight meters tall. Its body was more than ten meters wide, and all four of its limbs were like giant logs. Its behemoth build resembled a small mountain.

　　It was called a mythical bear because it had a layer of diamond armors on its body.

　　The diamonds on its back were cylindrical and these diamonds resembled the spikes of the ancient Stegosaurus.

　　The diamonds on the other parts of its body were shaped like scales to protect the mythical bear’s vital parts and joints.

　　At that moment, the Diamond Armor Mythical Bear grabbed a person with its foreclaws and shoved him into his mouth.

　　It chomped down on the person as if it was chewing on sugar cane. He then gobbled down the entire person in just a few crunches!

　　The dozen of people who had called for help earlier were already dead. Their bodies were scattered all over the forest grounds, which would serve as meals for the Diamond Armor Mythical Bear.

　　Within a few seconds, the bear had crushed all of these people with an extremely powerful force!

　　This Diamond Armor Mythical Bear must be terrifyingly strong.

　　A Diamond Beast King!

　　That was what the people called the mythical bear.

　　Based on the Northern Wilderness Starfield’s special ranking system, Diamond rank meant 180,000 – 230,000 combat power!

　　Lu Changwei, the strongest person among them, was only just 180,0000 combat power.

　　When a human and a Demonic Beast of the same rank fight, there was practically zero chance at all that the human would win.

　　When the group saw the beast, they all began to fear for their lives.

　　“Hey, Master Wei! Did you bring us here to hunt or did you bring us here to die? Let’s retreat! This is no joke!” Qin Luo shouted.

　　Wei Ruilong practically jumped out of his skin. “This place is too dangerous! Let’s escort the young governor back! Diamond Beast Kings are no joke. If he sees us, we’re all going to die!”

　　“Let’s retreat!” Little Fatty Dong’s cultivation was already pretty low; on top of that, he also lacked the fearless spirit of a cultivator. In the face of danger, he would scurry away and run.

　　“Mr. Chen, let’s leave. Your cultivation is low and Muyue’s health is not good. If a fight starts, we’re going to be in grave danger!” Miao Yiyue urged.

　　Wenren Muyue looked at Chen Xiaobei, “Mr. Chen, should we retreat?”

　　“I’m just a doctor, Lady Wenren. You don’t have to ask me for my opinion.”

　　Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

　　Wenren Muyue pursed her lips. “I feel like you are different from most people. I think that we should listen to you! My father also told me that whenever I’m in trouble, I should always consult you!”

　　“Huh? Elder Wenren said that? Well… if you guys trust me, then I think that there’s no need to retreat!”

　　“What?!” Miao Yiyue said nervously. “Mr. Chen! That’s a Diamond Beast King! If it starts going bonkers, none of us can outrun it!”

　　“Don’t worry. Master Lu should know how to defeat the Demonic Beast!” Chen Xiaobei said confidently, as if he had already known what was about to happen.

　　“Lu Changwei? He is only at the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation. His combat power is only 180,000! Even if this beast has the same combat power, there is no way Lu Changwei can win!” Miao Yiyue spoke nervously. “Muyue, listen to me, let’s make a run for it!”

　　“Bro Yiyue, you have to trust me! We should listen to Mr. Chen! My intuition has always been accurate! My father has never been wrong about a person before!” Wenren Muyue said, her tone solemn.

　　Miao Yiyue was already sweating. “This is an emergency and you’re talking about intuition?!”

　　“Everyone! Don’t be alarmed! I know how to defeat this Demonic Beast!”

　　Lu Changwei called out to the people who were running off.

　　They were Dong Xiaowu, Qin Luo and Wei Ruilong; these three families.

　　Lu Changwei’s hundreds of posse stood where they were, with no intention to run away at all.

　　It was obvious that Lu Changwei really had a plan of action. Or else, why would these bunch of lackeys stay and wait to die?

　　“He… He really does?” Miao Yiyue and Wenren Muyue looked at Chen Xiaobei simultaneously. Their eyes widened with shock. “Mr. Chen! You really know everything!”

　　“Oh, no! It was a lucky guess based on gut feeling.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

　　The truth was that Chen Xiaobei had already noticed that the Lu family already had a conspiracy planned out before they left Silver Plume.

　　They surely would have come prepared. Otherwise, it would be a suicide mission for Lu Changwei.

　　Since the Lus were prepared, there was no need for anyone to retreat. Lu Changwei would have a solution for their problems.

　　Chen Xiaobei had already foreseen all these.

　　Of course, Chen Xiaobei had to keep this secret to himself. He could not tell Wenren Muyue, not until at least the whole conspiracy has surfaced completely.

　　“Changwei, what’s your plan? This is not something to joke about!” Dong Xiaobei had already retreated quite a distance away.

　　“Don’t worry, young governor! I wouldn’t be standing here if I did not have a solution!”

　　Lu Changwei smiled.

　　“Stop keeping us in suspense! Just tell us now!” Qin Luo pressed.

　　“I’m going to use my family’s Yin Aqua King Slaying Battle Formation to beat this Demonic Beast!” Lu Changwei said confidently.

　　“Yin Aqua King Slaying Battle Formation?” Wei Ruilong’s eyes widened. “Are you talking about the divine-tier battle formation the Lu ancestors discovered in Bone Demon Starfield?”

　　“That’s right! It’s a divine-tier battle formation!” Lu Changwei nodded. “It will combine all of our strengths and allow us to wield a 300,000 combat power strike! Killing that beast is going to be as easy as a piece of cake!”

　　“3… 300,000 combat power?! That’s like the later phase of Ethereal Cultivation!” Dong Xiaowu gasped. “We could even win a fight against a Legend-rank Demonic Beast!”

　　“That’s right! Now, everyone, listen to my instructions and form the battle formation immediately!” Lu Changwei shouted.

　　His lackeys had already stood according to the basic structure of the formation, as if they had already geared up for it.

　　“Master Miao! Please enter the west formation core! Master Wei, please enter the north formation core. Young governor! Please bring your lead bodyguard, and enter the south formation core!” Lu Changwei ordered. “I’m going to enter the center part! Once the combat formation is activated, the Demonic Beast will die!”

　　Chen Xiaobei watched the whole scene, completely unsurprised, as if he had already figured out Lu family’s conspiracy!
