A quick count revealed over thirty of them, all pouncing on the Hunting Team in a frenzy.
"Don't get bogged down fighting these Demon Apes! Cover the others and fall back!" Zou Feng shouted without turning his head, charging straight into the thickest cluster of the creatures.
It seemed the Demon Apes had only recently started their attack, as they hadn't caused any major casualties yet.
But with Zou Feng, Tian Yun, and Xie Ding joining the fray, the situation was instantly brought under control.
With their leaders present, the hundred-plus members of the Hunting Team found their resolve, and they began a much more orderly fighting retreat.
As Zou Feng fended off five Demon Apes simultaneously, he was also constantly scanning his surroundings for any sign of Yuwen Shuo.
