The sound of numerous beasts running echoed through the air.
Luo Feng, who had been closely observing Niu Shisan, was startled by this sudden development. He immediately realized what Niu Shisan intended to do by blowing the horn—this was his ability to control wild beasts.
What happened next confirmed Luo Feng's suspicions. Using his Clairvoyance Charm combined with binoculars, Luo Feng could see large herds of cattle charging toward them from all directions. Why cattle specifically? Luo Feng wasn't entirely sure—perhaps Niu Shisan had a particular fondness for cows. But he didn't dwell on it for long.
Now was the time for him to act.
He retrieved his Legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow and Arrow, deciding to eliminate Niu Shisan first before gathering the Soul-Bewitching Fruits.
Meanwhile, Su Yunxi, who had been relatively relaxed earlier, was startled by the sudden commotion. The moment the horn's sound faded, the surrounding area erupted with noise, sending chills down her spine.
Could other humans have arrived to collect the Soul-Bewitching Fruits? Judging by the scale of the disturbance, whoever was coming must be incredibly powerful. This was terrible news for her. If formidable humans appeared here, her plans would be severely disrupted.
Her mind raced as she hurriedly tried to gather the fruits and escape as quickly as possible.
Not only Su Yunxi sensed the change—the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle also detected the unusual movements around them. However, the two creatures, locked in their bitter feud from their earlier battle, paid no attention to the disturbance. Their gazes remained fixed on each other, ready to attack at any moment.
Luo Feng, now fully prepared, aimed his Cloud-Piercing Bow at Niu Shisan and fired five arrows in rapid succession. The arrows shot through the thick Mist, reaching Niu Shisan in an instant. By the time he sensed the danger and tried to dodge, it was already too late.
All five arrows struck his head, exploding it into pieces with a loud bang.
Luo Feng wasn't surprised by the outcome. In open terrain, his arrows might have been dodged. But here on Mist Island, the dense Mist severely impaired visibility and sensory perception. Niu Shisan only realized the arrows were upon him when they were already too close—resulting in his head being blown apart.
With Niu Shisan dead, Luo Feng turned his attention to the two remaining creatures. Both the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle were Level 5 beings, possessing formidable combat abilities. Given Luo Feng's current strength, defeating them would be nearly impossible.
It seemed like the perfect time to test out the Mythical "You Are Really a Dog Talisman" he had recently acquired. He couldn't help but wonder—what would happen if these two massive monsters were transformed into dogs?
One thing was certain: if the transformation succeeded, neither the Waspdog King nor the Tiger-Headed Eagle would be able to fly anymore.
The two of them could only watch helplessly as Luo Feng collected all the Soul-Bewitching Fruits.
At this moment, Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to deal with the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle.
First, he needed to go to Niu Shisan and get his hands on the space ring.
As the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew, Niu Shisan must have plenty of good items in his possession.
The fact that he dared to come alone to scheme against the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle showed that his strength was no joke.
Unfortunately, he had encountered Luo Feng—before he could even make a move, Luo Feng had already blown his head off.
When Luo Feng shifted his gaze from the Waspdog King and the Tiger-Headed Eagle to Niu Shisan's body, his pupils suddenly dilated, his face filled with shock.
The scene before him was truly beyond his expectations.
Even though Luo Feng had witnessed all sorts of bizarre things before, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
Because—he actually discovered that Niu Shisan's corpse, whose head he had just blown off, hadn't fallen from the tree.
Instead, it stood perfectly straight on the trunk.
If that were all, Luo Feng wouldn't have been so shocked.
What truly stunned him was that Niu Shisan's head, which had just been blown apart, had actually regrown—and the new head wasn't a human's, but a bull's.
A Minotaur?
A man with a bull's head now stood within Luo Feng's line of sight.
Then, something even more eerie happened.
The Minotaur turned toward Luo Feng and flashed him a sinister grin.
The sight sent a chill down Luo Feng's spine.
Just how many strange creatures were there on this Mist Island?
The animals were bizarre enough—but even the people were this weird?
Without hesitation, Luo Feng swiftly drew his bow and fired arrows at the Minotaur.
This time, however, his shots weren't as effective as before.
Niu Shisan, now transformed into a Minotaur, seemed unaffected by the Mist.
Seeing the arrows coming, he dodged them effortlessly.
At the same time, his body moved rapidly toward Luo Feng.
The Minotaur was incredibly agile, leaping between trees and evading Luo Feng's arrows with ease.
Seeing that his arrows were useless, Luo Feng stopped using them.
He immediately summoned the Black Tortoise and said, "Let's get inside the Black Tortoise's protective shield—an enemy is attacking."
Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen had already sensed something was wrong from Luo Feng's actions.
However, their vision was still limited by the Mist, so they couldn't clearly see what was happening in the distance.
The Black Tortoise's body hovered in midair.
The three of them quickly climbed onto its back.
Among them, Luo Feng was the highest-leveled—only at Level 2.
Meanwhile, Niu Shisan, who was approaching, was at the peak of Level 4, nearly Level 5.
If he got close, Luo Feng and the others might not be able to defend themselves.
Though Luo Feng's offensive power was formidable, his defenses were lacking.
For now, it was best to take shelter inside the Black Tortoise's protective shield and observe the situation outside.
With the aid of copious amounts of Mist Crystal and Mystic Seed Water, the Black Tortoise's body had grown immensely large.
Yet this colossal Black Tortoise floated quietly in midair.
The Minotaur, Niu Shisan, soon arrived before Luo Feng and the others
