I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

"Is there something?"

One-Eyed paused for a moment, his skinning knife frozen in mid-air.

He subconsciously looked around.

The ruins remained deathly silent, except for the whistling sound of the wind passing through the empty buildings.

"Mr. Shen, are you being too nervous?"

The one-eyed man smiled ingratiatingly and pointed around.

"The high-level beasts in this area have been mostly cleared out. That armored lizard from earlier must have been the overlord of this area..."

"Shut up."

Shen Tian interrupted him.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

That aura was too fast.

It's ridiculously fast.

Just a moment ago we were several kilometers away, but in the time it takes to say just a few words, we've already closed half the distance.

Third order.

It's definitely a Tier 3 beast!

Even injured, he couldn't possibly contend with a monster of that level in his current state.

Although he can now kill peak-level first-tier alien beasts.

Facing a third-tier opponent is still a dead end.

"Throw your things away if you don't want to die, and get out of here."

Shen Tian didn't explain, and turned to run back.

The one-eyed man and the bald man exchanged a glance.

Although their hearts were still bleeding and they were reluctant to part with the materials that hadn't been completely peeled, they didn't dare to be careless when they saw Shen Tian's tense and wary expression.

Splash!

The bald man reluctantly threw away the heavy animal bones in his hand.

……

Ten kilometers away.

The highest point of the ruins.

Several dark figures were moving at high speed among the wreckage of the building.

Their movements were incredibly light; each step landed precisely on the steel bars or gravel, as if walking on flat ground.

"Captain, that beast runs pretty fast."

The adjutant's voice rang out.

"After all, it's a third-tier Wind Demon Wolf. If it didn't even have the ability to escape, it would have gone extinct in the wilderness long ago."

Another team member chimed in, toying with a high-explosive grenade in his hand as if tossing an apple.

The front.

Lin Qingyi's figure resembled a black swift.

The strong wind tousled her short hair, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.

Her expression remained aloof.

"I severed the tendons in its right hind leg."

"He is currently in a critical condition."

Lin Qingyi spoke calmly.

"They can't run very far."

Her gaze was fixed on the faint blue blur that was frantically darting through the ruins ahead.

It was a huge wolf-like beast.

Its entire body was covered in blue scales, and it was surrounded by visible wind blades.

Wherever it went, cement walls were cut open as if they were made of paper.

At this moment, however, this once invincible overlord appeared somewhat disheveled.

Its hind legs trailed long streaks of blood, and each exertion of its strength brought up a large spray of blood.

"There are more and more big guys like this lately."

The adjutant followed behind Lin Qingyi, his tone more serious than fearful; it was more like a professional assessment of the situation.

"Yesterday, a Tier 3 Ironback Bear was also discovered in the North District, and it almost broke through the second line of defense."

"It seems the rumors are true."

Lin Qingyi didn't turn around. She touched the ground with her toes on a horizontal steel beam and her figure rose higher again.

"The magnetic field deep in the wilderness is chaotic."

"Those slumbering old monsters have been awakened."

Her voice was soft, yet it reached each team member's ears clearly.

"This is not just a harbinger of a beast tide."

"It could very well be a full-scale war."

Upon hearing the words "Total War," the group fell silent for a moment.

"War..."

The team member who was playing with the grenade chuckled.

"That's great! I haven't accumulated enough military merits over the past few years to buy a new weapon. I was just worried about not having a place to farm points."

Stop being so cheeky.

The adjutant laughed and cursed.

"Let's deal with this one first. If we let a weakened Tier 3 beast escape, what will become of our team's reputation?"

Lin Qingyi did not participate in the team members' banter.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

At the end of the line of sight.

The wind demon wolf seemed to sense the murderous intent behind it and suddenly changed direction.

Instead of fleeing into the wilderness, it turned southeast.

It was a vast, open plaza of ruins.

That's the place they just passed by.

"Is it looking for cover?" the adjutant asked.

"No."

Lin Qingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.

"It smelled blood."

"There are people over there."

"It wants to eat to replenish its energy."

……

The group had already reached their maximum speed.

Shen Tian's physical attributes have been enhanced through a fully upgraded basic body tempering technique.

But they can only barely reach the standard of a martial artist.

For a moment, Shen Tian was panting heavily.

But the suffocating sense of oppression not only didn't disappear, but instead grew closer and closer.

It's like a Damocles' sword hanging over your head, ready to fall at any moment.

"Mr. Shen..."

Even the one-eyed man's voice was trembling.

"What exactly is that?"

Shen Tian gripped the handle of the boning knife tightly with both hands.

His mental perception was already at its maximum.

That thing was approaching at a terrifying speed.

too fast.

They simply can't outrun that speed.

Stop.

Shen Tian suddenly spoke.

"What?!"

One-Eyed thought he had misheard.

"I said stop!"

Shen Tianli shouted.

"If we run any further, we'll become sitting ducks; we're its target!"

Almost simultaneously.

A foul stench wafted over us.

boom!

A blue shadow crashed down on their path like a meteorite.

The hard concrete road surface cracked instantly.

Gravel flew everywhere.

The dust settled.

A giant wolf, the size of a truck, appeared in everyone's sight.

Its body was covered in blood, its blue scales rolled up, revealing bright red muscles underneath.

Especially on his right hind leg, a deep wound that exposes the bone is still bleeding.

But even so.

Those vertical pupils, gleaming with an eerie green light, were still filled with chilling savagery and greed.

Tier 3 Beast.

Wind Demon Wolf.

"Gulp."

The bald man swallowed hard, too weak to even move a finger.

The oppressive aura emanating from the higher life form instinctively made this ordinary person feel despair.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

The Wind Demon Wolf did not rush to attack.

It lowered its head slightly, its nostrils flaring, greedily inhaling the lingering scent of armored lizard blood in the air, and... the scent of three living humans.

For it, which was seriously injured.

This is practically a super tonic delivered to your doorstep.

Roar--!

The Wind Demon Wolf let out a low growl, its body slightly arched, assuming a pouncing posture.

Shen Tian gripped the hilt of his knife tightly and stood solemnly before the group.

"Mr. Shen!"

The one-eyed man cried out in terror.

Shen Tian ignored him.

The slender figure appeared so small in front of that giant beast.

It's like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But he did not back down.

There is no escape.

Exposing your back to such a fast-moving beast is tantamount to suicide.

There is only one battle left.

Even if it dies, I'll break all its teeth.

Shen Tian took a deep breath, and the bones in his body began to emit a series of fine popping sounds.

Mental energy surged wildly, and the boning knife trembled once more.

A hint of human-like mockery flashed in the eyes of the Wind Demon Wolf.

How dare a tiny insect, whose fur hasn't even fully grown, bare its claws at me?
