Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 40 The Real Beasts

The tremors caused by this herd of beasts were extremely powerful, almost like a small earthquake.

Before Bai Yang could warn everyone, they too felt the tremors from the ground.

How many monsters are there in this area?

Hundreds? Or even thousands?

What are they doing with such a big commotion?

Bai Yang led the team cautiously forward, wanting to see what was going on.

After turning a few corners, the group suddenly found themselves in a wide-open space with a clear view.

This used to be a park or a large green space!

A group of monsters were seen coiled up here, jumping up and down excitedly.

Lion Mastiffs! At least thousands of Lion Mastiffs!

This is a gregarious monster, and its prototype seems to be some kind of canine.

But now it is a huge monster with a completely silvery-white body, a layer of silver scales in its fur, and a small protrusion on its forehead.

These monsters range in size from two to four or five meters, and their size is closely related to their strength.

Bai Yang's eyesight was amazing. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there seemed to be a large pond in the center of the green area, and all the lion mastiffs were excitedly gathered in a circle, anticipating something.

At a glance, he could see at least fifty or sixty monsters that had reached the level of high-ranking warriors!

This monster had an incredibly keen sense of smell, and the entire team immediately stopped in their tracks, unable to get any closer.

Bai Yang used telekinesis to levitate himself, looking down at the details of the central area.

Right there by the pond, two of the largest lion mastiffs were locked in a fierce battle!

The group of excited lion and mastiff puppies around them were all cheering them on.

After watching for a while, Bai Yang thought, "This is probably a fight among the beasts for the position of leader. It seems that the monsters have retained this custom as well."

He was just thinking of waiting a little longer, maybe until they had decided who would win.

The squad can lie in wait and cause trouble for the loser, just like the Warhammer squad did when they wiped out the Silvermoon Wolf.

That's most likely a low-level lord-level monster.

Little did anyone know, in that very short time...

One of the mastiffs seemed to be distracted for a moment, and was instantly bitten on the neck by its rival!

Its opponent seized the opportunity and tore a bloody gash in its throat, causing red liquid to flow onto the ground instantly.

With such severe injuries, what chance do they have of turning the tide?

The defeated mastiff didn't even try to escape; it trembled and lay down, making no further move.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding mastiffs immediately swarmed forward and devoured their former leader!

All of this seemed to be routine, and the whole scene was truly bloody and terrifying!

Bai Yang was astonished. It is said that the intelligence of lord-level monsters is comparable to that of humans.

But what he saw before him told him how terrifying a group of monsters with both rationality and animal instincts could be!

"After the monsters developed rationality, they even learned to contribute to their species after death. No wonder they can negotiate and make agreements with humans; they can do things that humans simply cannot."

Bai Yang shook his head. The lion-mastiff opposite him was completely leaving no openings for other monsters and humans.

He was at his wit's end and could only look for other smaller herds to see if there was an opportunity.

For the next period of time, Bai Yang and his group seemed to have pretty good luck.

A few hours later, their team encountered a smaller herd of beasts, consisting of only forty or fifty animals.

Bai Yang and An Zhengxin worked together, killing as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Once he drew his Huashan Sword, even mid-level warrior-class monsters couldn't withstand a single move or two under his swordsmanship.

Only three Firescale Trident Boar leaders at the level of advanced warriors posed a slight threat to him.

The so-called "fire scales" on this monster are incredibly tough, and weapons simply cannot penetrate their defenses.

Bai Yang immediately realized that at this stage, the human body was indeed inferior to most monsters.

Modern swordsmanship, with its straightforward and direct techniques, is more suitable for actual combat.

He immediately took half a step back and sheathed his longsword again.

He once again used the entire sword as if it were an iron rod, abandoning all the moves from the previous "Mist Sword" techniques.

Only the most powerful and heavy moves in the seventh level of the thirty-six moves suddenly increased in destructive power.

The three Firescale Three-Horned Boars charged at the same time with tremendous force. They also possessed basic intelligence and understood the principle of advancing and retreating together.

In the previous rounds of attacks, Bai Yang had adopted a dodging strategy, trying to exploit any openings in the opponent's defenses.

Now his style changed; he gripped a longsword and suddenly used telekinesis to accelerate through his feet.

He chose to charge at top speed towards the three monsters alone.

His movement speed instantly reached the level of a war god!

The three fiery-scaled three-pronged boars were also accelerating, rapidly closing the distance between them.

As Bai Yang approached them, he instantly thrust his longsword downwards, striking the head of the middle one.

Using this force, he leaped high into the air, did a somersault, and landed steadily behind them.

The Firescale Trident Boar that was hit died instantly!

His entire head was jumbled into a mess by the impact and hidden force transmitted from the sword sheath.

Adjusting body posture and jumping in such a short time makes it seem like a thrilling monster-killing maneuver.

This is something only Bai Yang's movement technique can accomplish.

The remaining two Firescale Three-Horned Boars were momentarily bewildered.

I don't understand why my companion suddenly died.

Why are the formation attacks that used to be so effective no longer working?

Bai Yang drew his sword again, fully utilizing the power of blunt weapon strikes.

Ignoring the defenses of their scales and fur, he stabbed each of them hard in the waist and abdomen, shattering their internal organs.

By this time, the other monsters had also been cleared out by the others, and there were no more disturbances around.

He seized the opportunity and stepped forward to devour the flesh and blood of the three high-level warrior monsters.

For such a short time, the results are already very satisfactory.

Bai Yang only wanted flesh and blood; the fire-scaled skin of the Fire-Scaled Three-Horned Boar was useless to him.

An Zhengxin immediately stepped forward and accepted it; this was exactly the kind of good stuff the buyer wanted!

Bai Yang is a monster that was devoured from within, so these three fire scales are naturally preserved perfectly.

The condition and texture are absolutely perfect!

There's absolutely no need to spend time dissecting it!

Important materials for high-level beast general-level monsters can generally be sold for around 50 million to 600-700 million.

These three skins alone could easily sell for around 10 to 20 billion!

An Zhengxin sighed inwardly, realizing that although he had previously been a junior war god.

However, dealing with a group of beasts at the level of a high-ranking beast general would require considerable effort.

Sometimes, they even had to use excessive force, damaging a lot of materials.

Where else can one find such ease and comfort as their master?

With such a way of making money, how could the War God Base possibly be an unbelievable dream?

It's definitely possible if you're willing to spend the time!
