Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 37 The Heart of a Strong Person

One minute later, with the tacit cooperation of Yang Wu and the others, the last low-level beast general-level unicorn boar that tried to escape was killed.

Of course, although Yang Wu and the others did not suffer fatal injuries, they were all exhausted at this point.

But they had to force themselves to stay alert because the Phantom Squad leader was still fighting a Lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar.

At this moment, Chu Tian and the Fire Kirin Three-Horned Boar, who were fighting not far away, were also not in good condition. Chu Tian's mental energy was greatly depleted and he was about to give up. The Fire Kirin Three-Horned Boar was also covered in wounds. Although they were not fatal, they had greatly affected its speed and strength.

Seeing the man and beast locked in combat, Zhou Zheng quickly ordered, "Old Zheng, Wang Zhi, Yang Wu, the three of you quickly dispose of the monster's corpse. I'll go help the captain deal with that Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar!"

Lord-level monsters possess astonishing speed and strength. In the Phantom Squad, apart from Chu Tian, ​​a psychic, only Zhou Zheng, a high-level warrior, can put up a fight against a lord-level monster.

As for Yang Wu and his companions, if they were caught in the attack of a Lord-level monster, they would likely be either killed or maimed. Moreover, their attacks would be completely ineffective against the Lord-level monster.

"yes!"

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Yang Wu and the others quickly responded.

Whoosh!

Instantly, Zhou Zheng transformed into a blur and rushed towards Chu Tian and the Lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar, who were engaged in battle.

In fact, while Chu Tian was fighting the Lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar, he was also keeping an eye on the movements of Yang Wu and the others.

When Chu Tian saw Yang Wu in danger, he was also a little flustered. But after Yang Wu was out of danger, the headache was the Lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar.

When Zhou Zheng rushed over, Chu Tian was overjoyed.

With him and Zhou Zheng working together, there is a good chance they can take down this low-level lord-level Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar!

However, the Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar was somewhat afraid at this moment.

It was already troubled by a single mentalist, but it had no idea that Chu Tian's mental energy was about to run out. If a high-level warrior were to assist it, it would be in real danger.

"roar!"

The Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar let out a roar, a roar filled with boundless anger, immense resentment, and a hint of fear.

Whoosh!

The Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar instantly broke the speed of sound, like a streak of light, and fled in the northwest direction.

Its Beast General-level monsters have been wiped out by the despicable humans, and most importantly, its only child was also killed by the despicable humans.

It seeks revenge!

Lord-level monsters are now just as intelligent as ordinary humans. The Fire-Scaled Trident Boar knew that it would be difficult for it to take revenge on this despicable human team on its own.

Therefore, it went to seek refuge with the more powerful mid-level lord-level Great Demon Ape, hoping to take revenge with the latter's help.

"They escaped? Weren't all Lord-level monsters supposed to be incredibly ferocious?"

Yang Wu, who had been watching the battle closely, was stunned when he saw the Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar escape.

Perhaps noticing Yang Wu's confusion, Zheng Tao, who was collecting monster materials nearby, said with a smile, "Yang Wu, you should know that lord-level monsters are extremely intelligent. If they sense something is wrong, they will quickly run away."

Given the powerful vitality of a lord-level monster, coupled with the possibility of encountering herds of beasts in the wilderness at any time, the chances of it escaping are still quite high.

Even many War God-level martial artists usually choose to hunt high-level Beast General-level monsters. It's perfectly normal that the captain and Brother Zhou couldn't match the speed of that Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar, allowing it to escape!

"I see!" Yang Wu suddenly realized.

Just then, Chu Tian and Zhou Zheng arrived beside the group.

"The direction that Fire-Scaled Trident-Horned Boar just ran in seems to be towards the lair of the Mighty Demon Ape, a mid-level lord-class monster. It's probably going to seek help from the Mighty Demon Ape!"

Chu Tian said solemnly, "We must leave immediately and return to the base city!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The six of them worked together and quickly collected all the materials from the Beast General-level monsters. Then, the Phantom Squad quickly left in the southeast direction.

To avoid actually encountering the Mighty Demon Ape, they decided to take a detour back to the base city.

……

Half a day later, the Phantom Squad, which had already left the area of ​​City 023, decided to take a short rest. It was already evening on August 31.

As it happened, it was Yang Wu and Zhou Zheng's turn to be in charge of guard duty this time.

In an abandoned service area next to a highway in the wilderness, Zhou Zheng and Yang Wu sat guarding the door of a relatively intact room.

It was the height of summer, and there were many mosquitoes in the wild. Fortunately, Yang Wu and the others lit specially made incense, so no mosquitoes came to bite them.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged on a tattered cushion, his mind replaying everything that had happened that day.

The scene of facing a life-or-death crisis, and the opportunity to break through between life and death.

Yang Wu was pondering whether all of this was worth it!

"Today, my movement technique broke through to the Subtle Level on the brink of death, and the gains were indeed significant! However, I also almost died!"

Thinking back to the scene of that mid-level beast general charging towards him, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel a chill of fear. If he had been hit head-on at that time, he would have been dead for sure.

"With the simulator, even if I stay in the base city, my strength can continue to improve, even if it's a bit slow, at least it's safe!"

Yang Wu gently wiped the gleaming Broken Army Spear in his hand, his mind still filled with hesitation: "If I want to earn money to buy manuals and equipment, I can wait until I break through to the War God level or the Planetary level before hunting monsters in the wilderness. I can earn money much faster then!"

Yang Wu thought about it more and more and felt that coming to the wilderness area now was too impulsive. He could have slowly become stronger, but he insisted on putting himself in danger.

Gradually, Yang Wu couldn't help but have the idea of ​​leaving the Phantom Squad once he returned to the base city!

wrong!

My idea is completely wrong!

Suddenly, Yang Wu began to shake his head repeatedly.

Memories kept flashing through his mind.

It includes my own personal experiences, text displayed on the simulator during two simulations, and content from novels I read in my previous life...

"That's right, even in the base city, it's not absolutely safe! In the first simulation, I died in the base city, and in the second simulation, I would most likely have died at Li Yao's hands."

"If you really offend a powerful martial artist, even hiding in the base city isn't absolutely safe!"

"The Golden Horned Beast, the Noranshan family, and even various powerful figures who coveted Earth in the future..."

"Where in this world is there any place that is absolutely safe? Even someone as powerful as the founder of the giant axe could fall!"

"In the original story, even among the most elite geniuses in the Virtual Universe Company, only a very small number can break through to immortality! And I am just an ordinary person, so even with the simulator, it doesn't guarantee I'll become a powerful being!"

"If you want to keep getting stronger, you can't rely solely on simulators!"

At this moment, Yang Wu's heart was unusually firm.

"The path to the strong is not one that just anyone can walk! If you shrink back, even if you become an immortal, a venerable one, or a master of the universe with the help of a simulator, you will only be a lucky one."

"A true strong person, besides having various external resources, must more importantly possess the heart of a strong person!"
