"Watch out!"
"Bang!"
Ye Fan shoved Captain Leng Feng beside him away. At the same time,
his body was forced backward as well.
Yet even so, accompanied by a ripping sound, Ye Fan felt a searing pain between his ribs.
"Chitter... Grrrk..."
At the spot where the two had been standing, an ape-like mutant beast with faintly red fur all over its body bared its fangs and claws.
There even seemed to be a trace of mockery flowing through its eyes.
The person caught in one of its claws was covered in blood, his eyes filled with pained pleading.
"Save me, sa..."
His lips trembled, but it was clear that if help did not arrive soon, he would not last much longer.
"Captain, it has a hostage!"
Ye Fan growled.
Leng Feng was still shocked that Ye Fan had pushed him away and helped him evade the Red-Haired Black-Clawed Ape's attack.
He had sensed the danger too.
But if Ye Fan had not shoved him aside just now,
he would definitely have been clawed by that ape mutant beast. Even with his combat suit shielding him,
judging from the aura of this red-furred ape mutant beast, it had likely reached Tier 2.
He would still have been injured.
Could Ye Fan's reaction and perception actually be stronger than his?
"Ye Fan, be careful! This red-furred ape mutant beast has most likely just broken through to Tier 2!"
Leng Feng said gravely.
"Grrrk..."
The red-furred ape let out a strange cry. With a nimble leap, it vaulted over the dilapidated gates of the Jiangnan Textile Factory and fled inside.
"Vile beast, don't run!"
Ye Fan was alarmed.
He could not forget the pleading in the eyes of that man, tortured by the ape mutant beast until he had only one breath left.
Martial Dao pursued clarity of intent.
If he retreated and ran today,
Ye Fan knew that man's pleading, despairing gaze would become a stumbling block on his path of Martial Dao.
From another angle,
he could not possibly watch a living human life be mutilated by an ape mutant beast without lending a hand.
"Ye Fan, don't..."
"Captain, I'll try to save him. If I can't, I'll retreat!"
The youth's figure leaped up, turning into a streak of light as he darted into the Jiangnan Textile Factory.
"Good kid, you've got guts!"
At that moment, even Leng Feng could not help but praise him.
"Emergency! Emergency!
A suspected Tier 2 ape mutant beast has appeared inside the Jiangnan Textile Factory. It has a hostage. Requesting support, requesting support!"
Leng Feng swiftly sent out the distress signal. His body was like a long saber, cleaving through the darkness.
He followed Ye Fan as well, chasing into the Jiangnan Textile Factory.
"What? A Tier 2 mutant beast!"
At this moment, Wu Xie had just finished communicating with Jiangning's higher-ups, planning to make Ye Fan Jiangning's Heroic Youth.
Of course, a title was useless.
He had secured a five-hundred-thousand reward for Ye Fan.
Then he received the urgent call for help from Leng Feng, captain of the First Squad.
He immediately forwarded Leng Feng's information to Jiangning City's defense department.
His figure was like a black panther, racing toward the location Leng Feng had sent at a speed exceeding 30 m/s.
Anxiety rose in his heart as well.
Nothing could happen to Ye Fan.
He had just been quite reassured, with Leng Feng taking Ye Fan out to hunt mutant beasts.
How had they suddenly encountered a suspected Tier 2 mutant beast?!
"Hm, a Tier 2 mutant beast?"
"Quick! Drones, Mechanical Legion, support the Jiangnan Textile Factory in the eastern outskirts of the outer city!"
Jiangning City's high-ranking guards were startled as well and hurriedly issued the order.
Because if a Tier 2 mutant beast truly entered the bustling city district,
the damage it caused would simply be impossible to estimate.
Check-in successful. Reward: Enlightenment Points *5.
The moment Ye Fan entered the Jiangnan Textile Factory, a notification appeared on the illusory panel before his eyes.
At this moment,
Ye Fan finally understood somewhat.
If you can't find a book by searching its book title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was merely renamed!
He had been somewhat puzzled just now.
Aside from the ten Enlightenment Points from his first check-in at the Star Martial Hall as a newcomer reward, the highest reward had only been three Enlightenment Points.
Why was it that
checking in at a dilapidated Textile Factory could earn five Enlightenment Points from the system?
So this place was actually hiding a suspected newly-broken-through Tier 2 demon beast.
The greater the risk, the richer the reward.
Ye Fan understood a little more.
"Chitter..."
Just as Ye Fan was slightly distracted, a piercing cry stabbed directly into his eardrums, making them ache.
For an instant,
even his head grew dizzy.
But Ye Fangu's Mental Power, as high as 15 points, allowed him to quickly regain consciousness.
However, he had lost the initiative.
In his vision, a streak of red light shot toward him like a red beam.
He even saw the two sharp fangs protruding from the red-furred ape mutant beast's mouth and smelled the rank stench of its fur.
Target detected. It has exceeded the current Vitality Value detection limit...
A gray notification appeared on the illusory panel.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.
That meant the Red-Haired Demon Ape before him had definitely reached a level comparable to a Human Race Star River Realm expert.
It had reached Tier 2.
Even if it had only just broken through, it was absolutely not something Ye Fan could withstand head-on right now!
In his haste, Ye Fan raised his spear to block!
"Void Splitting Slash!
Ye Fan, move!"
Suddenly,
a fierce shout came from behind Ye Fan.
Immediately after, a crescent-moon-like Saber Aura tore through the air, releasing a shrill whistle as it cleaved through the air toward them.
Ye Fan hurriedly stepped back.
"Screech!"
"Clang!"
The sharp friction of blade against air mingled with the crash of metal as Captain Leng Feng's Saber Aura collided head-on with the Tier 2 mutant beast.
Leng Feng's body staggered back as if struck heavily.
The Tier 2 mutant beast's Vitality Value was nearly twice his.
The ever-victorious Void Splitting Slash left only a wound in the fur of this Tier 2 ape mutant beast.
Blood dripped onto the ground, but the beastly eyes of the Tier 2 ape mutant beast instantly turned scarlet.
Saliva dripped from its sharp fangs.
Vitality surged around its body.
Even without measuring it, Ye Fan could clearly sense the vast, storm-like Vitality far exceeding his own.
Perhaps this Tier 2 ape mutant beast had poor Martial Dao Skill and possessed neither combat techniques nor weapons.
But its sheer Vitality utterly crushed Ye Fan.
Even Captain Leng Feng was not enough!
"Chitter, chitter..."
Clearly, Leng Feng had injured it.
Its primary target became Leng Feng.
With a furious shriek, its body shot toward Leng Feng like a red line.
It looked like a rabid dog, as if it wanted to tear Leng Feng to pieces!
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
With sounds like metal striking metal, Captain Leng Feng's saber could not inflict any substantial damage on the red ape mutant beast that had entered Berserk Mode.
Instead, with every collision, Leng Feng was steadily pushed into a disadvantage.
"Ye Fan, take the man and go!"
Leng Feng roared as he defended himself.
"System, add 2 Enlightenment Points to the Peerless Overlord Spear!"
Ye Fan did not retreat. His eyes shone like stars in the night.
He knew that if he retreated, Leng Feng would surely face grave danger today.
Peerless Overlord Spear, Proficiency: Perfected (96%)... Peerless Overlord Spear, Proficiency: Perfected (97%)...
Peerless Overlord Spear, Proficiency: Transcending the Mundane and Entering Sainthood (99%)...
In an instant, Ye Fan felt as though his arms, spear, and combat technique had merged into one...
