Wilderness Slaughter

"Awwoo~~"

"Awwoo~~"

Monster roars came from the fields on both sides of the highway and the dilapidated villages. Xiao Yu could even see quite a few monsters. The other six members of the Iron Blood Squad were relaxed, but Xiao Yu didn't dare slack off in the slightest. After all, this was his first time entering the Wilderness Zone.

"Xiao Yu, there's an F-class Unicorn Wild Boar ahead. You handle it," Xiao Dingguo said. "This is your first time entering the Wilderness Zone, so be careful!"

"Go for it bravely! Don't worry, I'll cover you!" Uncle Liu encouraged him from the side.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. He could feel his father and Uncle Liu's concern and support for him.

"Come on, Xiao Yu! Aim for its weak point. This kind of monster is nothing more than a single slash!" Zuo Yan said.

The other three didn't speak, but they had their weapons in hand.

"Dad, Uncle Liu, wait a moment. Watch me bring back this Unicorn Wild Boar's horn." As Xiao Yu spoke, he quickly approached it.

"Captain, although Xiao Yu is your son, having him fight an F-class Unicorn Wild Boar that's close to E-class in his very first battle—isn't that asking a bit much?" Uncle Liu asked. "Although you want him to grow quickly, he still has to take things step by step. If he takes too big a step, he might pull something."

"Right. We can't rush things either," Zuo Yan added.

"What kind of person am I? Don't you know me?" Xiao Dingguo said calmly. "Just watch!"

Li Chao, who had been staring ahead, said, "Look, Xiao Yu's speed should be around 90 m/s, right? That's already comparable to the speed of someone entering the Beginner General level. His strength should be about the same."

Li Chao's words caused Liu Yuanping, Zuo Yan, and the other two to glance sideways.

They had to reassess this little fellow who had just entered the martial artist ranks.

Xiao Yu drew his Silver Moon Battle Saber. He understood that he had been able to join the Iron Blood Squad because his father was the captain. Although they had obeyed Xiao Dingguo's decision, it was hard to say how convinced they truly were.

He would end this battle cleanly.

"Haah~~ Haah~~"

The Unicorn Wild Boar let out a series of snarls, staring at the humanoid figure rapidly approaching it.

Xiao Yu's heartbeat quickened, and he became extremely excited. He felt a trace of the sensation of campaigning on a battlefield.

"Boom~~" The Unicorn Wild Boar's thick hind hooves slammed into the ground. It charged forward like a high-speed tank, crashing straight into the dilapidated car in front of Xiao Yu.

When the Unicorn Wild Boar approached, Xiao Yu sidestepped its charge. At the same time, the Silver Moon Battle Saber in his right hand swept upward toward its neck. The blade sank thirty centimeters into the neck and cut diagonally upward. His left hand raised the other Silver Moon Battle Saber, guarding against a sneak attack from the tail that was like an iron whip.

At that moment, a black shadow chopped toward Xiao Yu's head.

The instant he saw the shadow, Xiao Yu brought down the Silver Moon in his left hand, cutting the Unicorn Wild Boar's tail into two.

Both blades struck almost simultaneously.

Relying on its momentum, the Unicorn Wild Boar sent the dilapidated car flying. It itself charged more than twenty meters before collapsing to the ground, its entire body trembling nonstop.

The countless battles he had experienced in his previous life gave him an incredibly precise grasp of the battlefield. He wouldn't lose even in a fight against an opponent of a higher level, let alone against one of the same level.

As the Unicorn Wild Boar continued charging forward on momentum, Xiao Yu angled his right foot forward, then turned around. With a single elegant step, he changed the direction of his movement.

This was a technique he had worked out during decades of combat in his previous life. People had named it the Flowing Leg.

The Unicorn Wild Boar below had been disemboweled, and half its neck had been cut open. Its organs spilled along the ground, and its blood had nearly dried up, yet its hooves still kicked about unwillingly.

"Its vitality is truly strong!" Xiao Yu muttered.

A cold gleam flashed from the Silver Moon Battle Saber in his right hand as he thrust it into the monster's heart, finishing it off.

The Silver Moon Battle Saber traveled along the Unicorn Wild Boar's head and removed its horn.

"What!"

"He finished it in a single exchange!" Li Chao and the others wore looks of shock.

"That fatal strike against the Unicorn Wild Boar was incredible!" Zhang Shaoyong said. "He actually dared to attack while moving at high speed. The power of that strike was comparable to one from an Intermediate General..."

"To seize the opportunity while moving at high speed, kill a monster of the same level in one strike, and even predict the opponent's sneak attack and prepare for it in advance—truly remarkable!" Zuo Yan exclaimed.

"That eyesight and grasp of timing are truly seasoned!" Uncle Liu said in amazement. "Old Xiao, you really raised an extraordinary son!"

"This boy has some ability, at least," Xiao Dingguo said with a smile.

"Monster!" Zuo Xuan said.

"Dad." Xiao Yu walked over with the horn in hand. "This horn..."

"You killed it, so of course the horn is yours," Xiao Dingguo said. "If you sell it to the Limit Martial Arts School, it should be worth five thousand dollars. You can also get several Contribution Points. If you sell it to the Underground Alliance, you should be able to get eight thousand."

"Xiao Yu, your performance just now didn't look like that of someone entering the Wilderness Zone for the first time," Zuo Yan said.

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard that. Did I overdo it?

"What you just did scared me into a cold sweat!" Uncle Liu said with a laugh. "Be more cautious next time. That method was too risky."

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded.

"All right, let's continue forward."

After traveling for a while, Xiao Yu and the others encountered a lone F-class feline monster, a Tiger Cat Monster. Its body was covered in spots, and it was as sturdy as a calf. In terms of agility and viciousness, it was far superior to the Unicorn Wild Boar.

Xiao Dingguo looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Continue."

"Okay." Xiao Yu acknowledged him.

The six men watched Xiao Yu's every movement intently, not missing a single detail.

Xiao Yu charged straight toward the Tiger Cat, while the Tiger Cat also roared and rushed at him. The instant it landed, Xiao Yu accelerated and crashed into the Tiger Cat just as it was about to leap. At the moment of impact, he sidestepped, and a cold arc of light swept upward from below across the Tiger Cat's throat. Blood sprayed like water from a faucet. Xiao Yu retreated explosively, coldly watching the Tiger Cat Monster roar in agony before gradually collapsing and losing its breath.

He cut off the Tiger Cat Monster's tail, extracted a nearly transparent tendon from it, put it into his backpack, and walked back.

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't have a single drop of blood on him, Xiao Dingguo said, "You've improved!"

"He used his speed to numb the Tiger Cat and make it misjudge the timing of its pounce, causing it to expose a weakness," Zuo Yan praised.

"This boy is truly impressive!" Uncle Liu said with a laugh.

The purpose of the Iron Blood Squad's trip was to train Xiao Yu. Along the way, whenever they encountered lone monsters, they no longer let Xiao Yu deal with them alone. Through teaching by example, everyone took action several times, and by summarizing their combat techniques, Xiao Yu himself made considerable progress.

They hadn't encountered a monster pack along the way, which left Xiao Yu extremely frustrated.

Two days later.

At dusk, the Iron Blood Squad's seven members advanced along a dilapidated ring road.

"There are three F-class Lion Mastiffs ahead. Xiao Yu, you go," Captain Xiao Dingguo ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

Xiao Yu ran toward the Lion Mastiffs with a grin, though he wasn't moving particularly fast.

"Roar~~" The three Lion Mastiffs roared and charged at Xiao Yu. Their eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness, and they didn't take the human before them seriously. When the distance between them closed, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face.

His speed suddenly soared! The fur on all three Lion Mastiff Monsters instantly stood on end.

Xiao Yu closed in in an instant. With two strange steps, he used the Flowing Light movement technique from the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, luring two Lion Mastiffs into pouncing at him with their claws. He twisted his body and precisely avoided their sharp claws. As the three bodies passed one another, Xiao Yu had already arrived between the two Lion Mastiffs, and the two Silver Moon Battle Sabers in his hands stabbed out viciously!

Pfft! They pierced directly into the vital points of their necks.

He charged forward, then turned to look at the other Lion Mastiff Monster.

"Roar~~" Seeing the necks of its companions spraying blood wildly, the other Lion Mastiff Monster let out a low growl and fled at top speed.

Xiao Dingguo, Liu Yuanping, and the others from the Iron Blood Squad all smiled at the sight.

"Xiao Yu, come on. Let's get into the county city quickly! Lion Mastiffs live in packs. The one that just fled will soon bring a group of Lion Mastiff Monsters here," Uncle Liu said.

The seven members of the Iron Blood Squad entered the outskirts of County City No. 0201 that night. They needed to find high ground to use as a base.

The Wilderness was filled with danger, and the outskirts at night were even more dangerous.

"Roar~~"

"Roar~~"

"Captain!" Xiao Yu heard the snarls of Lion Mastiff Monsters behind them.

"Stop," Xiao Dingguo ordered.

He swept his gaze across the countless figures standing on the surrounding high-rises and said, "Spread out, everyone. Zuo Xuan, Zuo Yan, set up two searchlights. The rest of you find your positions. Don't panic. Cover one another and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Okay." Zuo Xuan and Zuo Yan acknowledged him.

The brothers took several searchlights from their backpacks and illuminated the high-rises within three hundred meters, making the scene clear.

They were deep inside a small plaza. All around them were damaged buildings of varying heights, and almost every building had several Lion Mastiffs standing on it, like vicious wolves overlooking their prey beneath the moon.

"It's a Lion Mastiff pack," Uncle Liu said. "Judging by the numbers, there should be several hundred of them!"

"Mm." Xiao Dingguo's expression darkened. "Look, the largest one is their leader. Judging by its size, its strength has reached the High-level Beast General level!"

"Then there are probably quite a few Intermediate Beast Generals and Beginner Beast Generals among this pack as well." Zhang Shaoyong grinned. "This will be fun. We've let Xiao Yu show off all the way here."

"Making such a huge commotion at night will probably attract quite a few monsters," Zuo Yan said.

If it were daytime, this group of monsters wouldn't even catch their attention. But it was night, when monsters were highly active.

"Mm, that's right. Finish this quickly," Xiao Dingguo ordered.

Everyone immediately grew serious and stopped joking around.

"Roar~~" Following the huge Lion Mastiff's roar, the entire pack—several hundred Lion Mastiffs—rapidly sprang into action, charging at them from all directions.

"Brother, don't be afraid. This is nothing," Zuo Yan said, holding a shield in one hand and a battle axe in the other.

"I'll deal with the leader. Old Liu, provide support. The rest of you attack freely," Xiao Dingguo ordered.

"Okay." Everyone acknowledged him.

Xiao Dingguo headed toward the Lion Mastiff leader. His battle axes whirled in both hands, reaping the lives of every Lion Mastiff that approached.

Liu Yuanping followed closely behind. With a single step forward, his long spear instantly pierced through the eye of a Lion Mastiff Monster attempting a sneak attack, piercing through its skull!

"Grrr~~" The Lion Mastiff Monster's four claws kicked twice unconsciously before it collapsed helplessly.

The two worked together seamlessly. While reaping the Lion Mastiff underlings, they advanced toward the Lion Mastiff leader.

The Zuo Brothers also charged toward the nearest F-class Lion Mastiff. At the moment of impact, they raised their shields and smashed into it. At the same time, the battle axes in their hands flashed coldly, cutting the Lion Mastiff that had been knocked away in two.

Seeing that everyone had achieved results, Xiao Yu also charged toward an F-class Lion Mastiff that was rushing at him. He leaped, passing by the Lion Mastiff's side in midair. The instant they touched, a cold gleam flashed. The Silver Moon sliced straight across the Lion Mastiff's neck, beheading it as blood sprayed like water from a burst pipe.

"Careful, Xiao Yu!" Li Chao warned.

The moment Xiao Yu landed, he saw a Lion Mastiff larger than an F-class Lion Mastiff by a third pouncing at him from the side, its speed astonishingly fast. Just as Xiao Yu was preparing to dodge, the Lion Mastiff was sent flying forward by a streak of cold light from behind when it was two meters away from him.

It was Li Chao. His battle spear had pierced through the Lion Mastiff's ear and into its skull! Its four claws kicked twice before it collapsed helplessly.

"Thanks," Xiao Yu said.

"Be careful. When fighting a pack, you must keep your eyes everywhere and your ears alert," Li Chao said with a smile.

"Mm."

After this lesson, Xiao Yu no longer dared to be careless.

In only a moment, more than half the Lion Mastiffs in the entire residential complex had been slaughtered.

"Roar!" The Lion Mastiff leader howled, calling several E-class and D-class Lion Mastiffs behind it to charge at Xiao Dingguo and Liu Yuanping, who were closing in.

These Lion Mastiffs were far more agile and faster than the ones before.

"Old Liu, Zhang Shaoyong, I'll deal with the leader. Can you handle the others?" Xiao Dingguo asked, staring fixedly at the Lion Mastiff's every movement.

"No problem!" Old Liu and Zhang Shaoyong nodded one after another.

Monsters that reached the Beast General level possessed a certain degree of intelligence. Even when fighting opponents of the same level, they were much harder to deal with than Beast Soldier-level monsters because they already knew how to protect their weak points.

While everyone was busy fighting, Xiao Yu flashed away and leaped from the balcony of a three-story residential building. At the corner of the wall lay the corpse of an F-class Lion Mastiff he had just killed.

Seeing that no one was around, Xiao Yu crouched down and touched the corpse with his finger. At the same time, he silently recited, "System, absorb the F-class Lion Mastiff's corpse."

In less than a second, the corpse before him vanished, and even the bloodstains flowing across the ground disappeared without a trace.

Absorbing F-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 50 Wish Points.

After several jumps, he found another one.

Absorbing H-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 20 Wish Points.

Absorbing H-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 22 Wish Points.

Absorbing F-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 43 Wish Points.

Absorbing F-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 60 Wish Points.

After absorbing thirty Lion Mastiff corpses in succession, he obtained 1,300 Wish Points.

Xiao Yu was overjoyed.

"System, check the wish completion status."

Host: Xiao Yu

First Wish: Perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Wish Completion Status: 1421.2/1800 Wish Points.

It was almost time. Soon, he would be able to perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Xiao Yu was secretly delighted when he saw that his side had gained a huge advantage and that fewer than thirty Lion Mastiffs remained.

"Xiao Yu, where did you just go?" Li Chao leaped onto the roof of a four-story residential building and came to Xiao Yu's side.

"I went below and dealt with two Lion Mastiffs," Xiao Yu said.

Listening to the booming battlefield in the distance, Xiao Yu continued charging toward an F-class Lion Mastiff Monster. The moment it landed, he quickly closed in. The Silver Moon Battle Saber flashed coldly and severed its head.

Suddenly, the fewer than twenty remaining Lion Mastiffs scattered and fled in terror as if they had lost their target.

"Don't chase them." Just as Xiao Yu was about to pursue, a loud voice stopped him.

"Dad?" Xiao Yu turned around and saw Xiao Dingguo covered in blood. He asked nervously, "Are you all right?"

"Mm, I'm fine. This blood isn't mine. It was merely a monster barely at the C-class," Xiao Dingguo said. He approached, patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, then turned to everyone and said, "All right, clean up quickly and leave this place."

"With the Lion Mastiff leader's pressure here, no monsters should approach 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 Mastiffs he had killed, he saw that everyone was focused on cutting up the materials and had no time to watch him. He absorbed another twenty Lion Mastiff corpses, obtaining 600 Wish Points.

"Dad, do you need my help?" Xiao Yu walked over to Xiao Dingguo, who was carefully cutting away the Lion Mastiff leader's hide bit by bit.

"Sure!" Xiao Dingguo said. "You handle this one, then."

The Lion Mastiff leader before him had none of its former might left. Its skull was shattered, its flesh torn open, and three ribs in its chest and abdomen were broken. One of them had pierced its heart, which should have been the fatal wound.

"Xiao Yu, come over after you finish. We'll gather at the same place as before, then leave together," Xiao Dingguo said.

After watching Xiao Yu carefully harvest all the valuable materials from the Lion Mastiffs, he jumped down from the high-rise in relief and went to meet up with the others.

Seeing that his father and the others had already gathered at the plaza from before, Xiao Yu felt relieved.

"System, absorb this Lion Mastiff corpse."

Absorbing C-class Lion Mastiff corpse, obtained 800 Wish Points.

Xiao Yu looked at the leader's underling lying beside him, a strange smile appearing on his face.

Absorbed the corpse of a D-class Lion Mastiff, gaining 400 Wish Points.

Absorbed the corpse of an E-class Lion Mastiff, gaining 160 Wish Points.

"Check the wish completion status."

Host: Xiao Yu

First Wish: Perfectly comprehend the first level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Wish completion status: 3381.2/1800 Wish Points.

"Let's go." Xiao Yu also jumped down from the high-rise and joined the others.

The remaining monster corpses were scattered around the square. With no obstacles to provide cover, Xiao Yu didn't dare act rashly.
