NOVEL NEXT Chapter 12: Wilderness Killing
"Ouch~~"
"Ouch~~"
There were waves of monster roars coming from the fields and dilapidated villages on both sides of the road, and even Xiao Yu could see many monsters. The other six members of the Iron Blood Squad were very relaxed, but Xiao Yu did not dare to relax at all, after all, this was his first time entering the wilderness.
"Xiao Yu, there is an F-level unicorn wild boar ahead, you are here to take care of it." Xiao Dingguo said, "This is your first time entering the wilderness area, be careful!"
"Go ahead bravely! Don't worry, I'll help you!" Uncle Liu encouraged from the side.
Xiao Yu smiled slightly. He could feel the care and support from his father and Uncle Liu.
"Come on! Xiao Yu, find the weakness, this monster can be killed with just one sword!" Zuo Yan said.
Although the other three did not speak, they also held weapons.
"Dad, Uncle Liu, please wait a moment and let me take the horn of this one-horned wild boar." Xiao Yu said as he quickly approached the other party.
"Captain, although Xiao Yu is your son, you asked him to fight a one-horned wild boar that is close to E-level in his first battle. Isn't it too much to ask?" Uncle Liu asked, "Although you expect him to grow up quickly, he has to take it step by step. If you take too big a step, you may get into trouble."
"Yes, we can't be too hasty." Zuo Yan also spoke.
"Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Xiao Dingguo said calmly, "Just wait and see!"
Li Chao, who had been staring ahead, said, "Look, Xiao Yu's speed must be 90m/s, which is comparable to the speed of a junior general. His strength should be similar."
Li Chao's words caused Liu Yuanping, Zuo Yan and other four people to look at him sideways.
They have to re-examine this little fellow who has just entered the martial arts world.
Xiao Yu drew out the Silver Moon Saber. He understood that he was able to join the Iron Blood Squad because his father was the captain. Although they obeyed Xiao Dingguo's decision, it was hard to say how convinced they were in their hearts.
He resolved this battle cleanly and efficiently.
"Ho~~ho~~"
The unicorn boar roared loudly and stared at the humanoid object approaching rapidly in front of it.
Xiao Yu's heart beat faster and he was extremely excited for a moment, as if he was fighting on a battlefield.
"Boom~~" The unicorn wild boar kicked the ground with its thick hind hooves and suddenly ran away, transforming into a high-speed tank and crashing directly into the "dilapidated car" in front of Xiao Yu.
When the unicorn wild boar approached, Xiao Yu dodged its charge by leaning sideways, and at the same time, he raised the silver moon sword in his right hand to the unicorn wild boar's neck, and the blade penetrated the neck for 30 centimeters and cut upwards diagonally. At the same time, he raised the silver moon sword in his left hand to prevent the unicorn wild boar's tail, which was like an iron whip, from attacking him.
At the same time, a black shadow came towards Xiao Yu's head.
As soon as he saw the black shadow, Xiao Yu swung the silver moon in his left hand and chopped down, cutting the unicorn's tail into two pieces.
The two swords succeeded almost simultaneously.
The unicorn wild boar used inertia to knock the dilapidated car away, and at the same time it rushed forward more than 20 meters before falling to the ground, shaking all over.
Countless battle experiences in his previous life made him have an extremely accurate grasp of the battle situation. Not to mention fighting against opponents of the same level, he would not lose even if fighting against opponents of higher levels.
When the unicorn wild boar rushed forward by inertia, Xiao Yu stepped forward with his right foot and turned around at the same time, changing his direction with a graceful movement.
This was a skill he had developed during decades of fighting in his previous life, and was known as the "Floating Kick".
Looking at the one-horned wild boar below, whose stomach had been ripped open and whose neck was half cut open, its internal organs were flowing out, its blood was almost dried up, and its hooves were still kicking around unwillingly.
"What a strong vitality!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
The silver moon sword in his right hand flashed with a cold light and pierced its heart, killing it.
The Silver Moon Saber slid along the head of the unicorn wild boar and plucked off its horn.
...
"what!"
"It was solved in one encounter!" Li Chao and others showed shock on their faces.
"This fatal blow to the unicorn is incredible!" Zhang Shaoyong: "He actually dared to launch an attack while moving quickly. The power of this blow is comparable to that of a mid-level general."
"He can seize the opportunity while moving quickly, kill monsters of the same level with one blow, and at the same time predict the opponent's sneak attack and prepare in advance. It's amazing!" Zuo Yan exclaimed.
"This vision and grasp of timing are really experienced!" Uncle Liu exclaimed: "Old Xiao, you really raised an amazing son!"
"This kid is quite capable." Xiao Dingguo said with a smile.
"Pervert!" Zuo Xuan said.
"Dad." Xiao Yu came over with a unicorn horn in his hand. "This unicorn horn..."
"You killed it, so of course the horn belongs to you." Xiao Dingguo said, "If we sell this horn to the Extreme Martial Arts School, it should be worth 5,000 yuan. We can also get a few contribution points. If we sell it to the Underground Alliance, it should be worth 8,000 yuan."
"Xiao Yu, your performance just now doesn't seem like your first time entering the wilderness area!" Zuo Yan said.
Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. Did he go too far?
"Your actions just now really scared me into breaking out in a cold sweat!" Uncle Liu said with a smile, "Be more careful next time. This method is too risky."
"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded.
"Okay, let's move on."
...
After traveling for a while, Xiao Yu and his companions encountered a lone F-class cat 'tiger cat monster'. This tiger cat had spots on its body and was as strong as a calf. It was much more flexible and ferocious than the unicorn boar.
Xiao Dingguo looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Continue."
"Okay." Xiao Yu responded.
The six people watched Xiao Yu's every move closely, not missing a single detail.
Xiao Yu quickly rushed towards the tiger cat, and the tiger cat also rushed towards him with a roar. At the moment the tiger cat landed, he accelerated and rushed towards the tiger cat that was about to jump. At the moment of the collision, Xiao Yu dodged sideways. At the same time, an arc of cold light passed through the tiger cat's neck and throat from below. With a stream of blood spurting out like tap water, Xiao Yu retreated violently, watching coldly as the tiger cat monster roared in pain, gradually fell down powerlessly, and lost his breath.
He cut off the tiger-cat monster's tail, took out one of its nearly transparent tendons, put it in his backpack, and walked back.
Looking at Xiao Yu, who didn't have a drop of blood on his body, Xiao Dingguo said, "There is progress!"
"It is possible to use speed to paralyze the tiger cat, causing it to misjudge the timing of the attack and reveal its weakness." Zuo Yan exclaimed.
"This kid is really good!" Uncle Liu said with a smile.
...
The purpose of the Iron Blood Team's trip was to train Xiao Yu. When they encountered a single monster along the way, Xiao Yu was no longer allowed to deal with it alone. They taught by words and deeds, and everyone tried it out several times. By summarizing their combat skills, Xiao Yu also made great progress himself.
Xiao Yu was very depressed because he had not encountered any monsters along the way.
Two days later.
In the evening, on the dilapidated ring road around the city, a team of seven people from the Iron Blood Squad were advancing.
"There are three F-level lion mastiffs in front, Xiao Yu, you go." Captain Xiao Dingguo ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
Xiao Yu ran towards the lion mastiff with a smile, but not very fast.
"Roar~~" The three-headed lion mastiff roared and rushed towards Xiao Yu. There was bloodthirsty madness in the eyes of the lion mastiff monsters. They didn't care about the human in front of them. When the two sides were very close to each other - Xiao Yu showed a sneer on his face.
The speed suddenly increased! The three-headed lion mastiff monster's hair instantly stood up.
Xiao Yu approached in an instant, with two strange steps under his feet, which was the "Liu Guang" body movement of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword, attracting the two lion mastiffs to pounce with their claws. He twisted his body and accurately avoided the sharp claws of the lion mastiffs. At the same time, the three bodies staggered, Xiao Yu had come between the two lion mastiffs, and the two Silver Moon swords stabbed out insidiously at an instant! Poof! It pierced the vital part of the neck directly.
He rushed forward quickly, then turned and looked at another lion mastiff monster.
"Roar~~" When the other lion mastiff monster saw blood gushing out of its companion's neck, it let out a low roar and flew away quickly.
Xiao Dingguo, Liu Yuanping and others from the Iron Blood Squad all smiled when they saw this.
"Xiao Yu, let's go into the county town quickly! Lion mastiffs live in groups. The lion mastiff that escaped just now will soon bring a group of lion mastiff monsters here." Uncle Liu said.
The seven members of the Iron Blood Squad entered the suburban area of County 0201 overnight. They needed to find a high ground as a base.
The wilderness is full of dangers, and the suburbs are even more dangerous at night.
"Roar~~"
"Roar~~"
"Captain!" Xiao Yu heard the roar of the lion mastiff monster behind him.
"Stop." Xiao Dingguo ordered.
He glanced at the figures standing on the surrounding high-rise buildings and said, "Everyone disperse. Zuo Xuan and Zuo Yan set up two searchlights, and the rest of you find a good position. Don't panic, take care of each other and prepare to fight the enemy." "Okay." Zuo Xuan and Zuo Yan responded.
The two brothers took out several searchlights from their backpacks and illuminated the scenes on the surrounding 300-meter-high buildings clearly.
They were deep in a small square, surrounded by dilapidated buildings of varying heights. On almost every building stood a number of lion mastiffs, like wolves looking down on their prey under the moon.
"It's a pack of lion mastiffs." Uncle Liu said, "Looking at the number, there should be hundreds of them!"
"Hmm." Xiao Dingguo's face was gloomy. "Look, the biggest one is their leader. Judging from his size, his strength has reached the level of a high-level beast general!"
"Then there must be a certain number of intermediate and primary beast generals in this group of lion mastiffs." Zhang Shaoyong grinned and said, "This is great. Xiao Yuzi has been showing off all along the way."
"Such a big noise in the middle of the night will probably attract a lot of monsters!" Zuo Yan said.
If it were daytime, these monsters would not be worth their attention at all, but now it is night, a time when monsters are very active.
"Well, that's good, let's fight quickly and decisively." Xiao Dingguo gave the order.
Everyone suddenly became serious and stopped laughing.
"Roar~~" With a roar from the huge lion mastiff, the entire herd, hundreds of lion mastiffs quickly moved and rushed towards them from all directions.
"Brother, don't be afraid, these are just small scenes." Zuo Yan said, holding a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other.
"I will deal with the leader, Lao Liu will provide support, and you can attack freely." Xiao Dingguo gave the order.
"Okay." Everyone responded.
Xiao Dingguo walked towards the lion mastiff leader, swinging his battle axe in both hands, reaping the life of every lion mastiff that approached.
Liu Yuanping, who was following closely behind, took a step forward in an instant, and his spear instantly pierced through the eyes of a lion mastiff monster that was attempting a sneak attack, and penetrated the lion mastiff monster's head! "Ho ho~~" The lion mastiff monster unconsciously kicked twice with its four claws and fell down helplessly.
The two cooperated well, harvesting the lion mastiff minions while approaching the lion mastiff leader.
The Zuo brothers also rushed towards the nearest F-class lion mastiff respectively. At the moment of collision, they raised their shields and hit it. At the same time, the battle axes in their hands flashed coldly, and the lion mastiff that was knocked away was cut in half.
Seeing that everyone had achieved certain results, he also rushed towards the F-class lion mastiff that was charging towards him. With a leap, he just passed by the lion mastiff in the air. The moment of contact, a cold light flashed, and the silver moon passed directly across the lion mastiff's neck, beheading it, and blood spurted out like a broken water pipe.
"Be careful, Xiao Yu." Li Chao reminded.
As soon as Xiao Yu landed, he saw a lion mastiff that was three times larger than an F-class lion mastiff rushing towards him from the side at an incredibly fast speed. Xiao Yu was about to dodge, but when the lion mastiff was two meters away from him, it was rushed forward by a flash of cold light behind it.
It was Li Chao. The spear went through the lion mastiff's ear hole and pierced its head! It kicked twice with its four claws and fell down helplessly.
"Thank you." Xiao Yu thanked.
"Be careful. When fighting against a group of beasts, you must keep your eyes and ears open." Li Chao said with a smile.
"Ah."
After this lesson, Xiao Yu no longer dared to be careless.
In just a few moments, most of the lion mastiffs in the community were slaughtered.
"Roar~~" The lion mastiff leader roared, calling on several E-level and D-level lion mastiffs behind him to rush towards the approaching Xiao Dingguo and Liu Yuanping.
The speed and agility of these lion mastiffs are far greater than before, making them more agile and faster.
"Lao Liu, Zhang Shaoyong, I'm going to deal with the leader, you guys can handle the others!" Xiao Dingguo said, staring at the lion mastiff's every move.
"No problem!" Lao Liu and Zhang Shaoyong nodded.
When monsters reach the beast general level, they have a certain level of intelligence. Even in a battle with the same level, they are much more difficult to deal with than when they were at the beast soldier level. They already know how to protect their weaknesses.
While everyone was busy fighting, Xiao Yu dodged and jumped down from the balcony of a three-story residential building. In the corner of the wall was the body of an F-class Lion Mastiff that he had just killed.
There was no one around, Xiao Yu squatted down and touched the body of the F-level lion mastiff with his fingers, and silently said, "System, absorb the body of the F-level lion mastiff."
In less than a second, the corpse in front of him disappeared, and even the blood flowing on the ground disappeared without a trace.
[Absorb the corpse of the F-rank Lion Mastiff and gain 50 wish points. ]
After several consecutive jumps, I found another one.
[Absorb the corpse of the H-level Lion Mastiff and gain 20 wish points. ]
[Absorb the corpse of the H-level Lion Mastiff and gain 22 wish points. ]
[Absorb the corpse of the F-rank Lion Mastiff and gain 43 wish points. ]
...
[Absorb the corpse of the F-rank Lion Mastiff and gain 60 wish points. ]
After absorbing the corpses of 30 lion mastiffs in a row, he gained 1300 wish points.
Xiao Yu was very happy.
"The system checks the status of wish fulfillment."
[Host: Xiao Yu]
[First wish: To perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.]
[Wish fulfillment status: 1421.2/1800 wish points. ]
It's almost there. I will be able to perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword soon.
Xiao Yu, who was secretly happy, saw that his side had gained a great advantage, with less than 30 lion mastiffs remaining.
"Xiao Yu, where did you go just now?" Li Chao jumped to the roof of the four-story residential building and came to Xiao Yu's side.
"I just dealt with two lion mastiffs downstairs." Xiao Yu said.
Listening to the banging sounds of the battlefield in the distance, Xiao Yu continued to rush towards an F-level lion mastiff monster. The moment it landed, he quickly approached it, and with a flash of cold light from the Silver Moon Blade, he cut off its head.
Suddenly, the remaining less than twenty lion mastiffs fled in panic as if they had lost their target.
"Stop chasing." Xiao Yu was about to chase when a loud voice called him.
"Dad?" Xiao Yu turned around and saw Xiao Dingguo covered in blood. He trembled and said, "Are you okay?"
"Well, it's okay. These bloodstains are not mine. It's just a C-level monster." Xiao Dingguo approached and patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, then turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, pack up quickly and leave here."
"With the pressure from the lion mastiff leader, no monsters should come near for the time being." Uncle Liu said.
Everyone went to harvest materials from the monsters. After Xiao Yu finished harvesting the materials from the lion mastiff he hunted, he saw that everyone was concentrating on cutting the materials and no one paid attention to him, so he absorbed twenty more lion mastiff corpses and obtained 600 wish points.
"Dad, do you need my help?" Xiao Yu walked to Xiao Dingguo who was carefully cutting the fur of the lion mastiff leader bit by bit.
"Okay!" Xiao Dingguo said, "Then you can handle this one."
The lion mastiff leader in front of him no longer had the majesty he had before. His head was broken, his skin was torn, and three ribs in his chest and abdomen were broken, one of which had pierced his heart. This should be a fatal injury to him.
"Xiao Yu, pack up and come over. We'll gather at the same place as before and then set off together." Xiao Dingguo said.
After he saw Xiao Yu carefully harvested all the important materials for the Lion Mastiff, he jumped down from the tall building with confidence and reunited with everyone.
Xiao Yu felt relieved when he saw that his father and others had already met up at the square.
"The system absorbs the body of this lion mastiff."
[Absorb the C-rank Lion Mastiff corpse and gain 800 wish points. ]
Xiao Yu looked at the leader's younger brother lying next to him, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
[Absorb the corpse of a D-rank lion mastiff and gain 400 wish points. ]
[Absorb the corpse of the E-level Lion Mastiff and obtain 160 wish points. ]
"Check the status of wish fulfillment."
[Host: Xiao Yu]
[First wish: To perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.]
[Wish fulfillment status: 3381.2/1800 wish points. ]
"Let's go." Xiao Yu also jumped down from the tall building and joined everyone.
The remaining monster corpses were scattered around the square. There was no cover, so Xiao Yu did not dare to act rashly.
