Shadow's Counter-Kill! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

The system's prompt arrived.

"Dispatch!"

Su Xiaobai didn't hesitate for a moment.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

With a massive boost in strength, the level of Fierce Beasts he killed rose accordingly, and the materials he obtained became more valuable and precious... With money, he could continue upgrading the system's functions, further enhancing his strength, thus completing the most optimal cycle!

"Auto Dispatch initiated!"

The moment Su Xiaobai gave the order, the system executed it swiftly on the other end.

The two Automated Monster Hunting shadows were still tirelessly slaughtering.

With a casual punch, a Fierce Beast's brains burst open.

With a casual kick, a Fierce Beast's organs shattered.

A flaming palm struck through the air, and a nearby Fierce Beast was instantly pierced through!

The Fierce Beasts drawn by the thick scent of blood in the air, upon witnessing this scene, involuntarily showed fear in their eyes and chose to turn and flee far away!

They were Fierce Beasts, not idiots.

Faced with a strong opponent, they instinctively felt fear!

The two shadows wanted to give chase, but suddenly, as if receiving some signal, they both stopped in place.

The next second, the two shadows vanished on the spot.

The fleeing Fierce Beasts, sensing the disappearance of their auras, halted and cautiously looked back...

Meanwhile, the two shadows were teleported to an even more desolate land of Fierce Beasts!

Lurking here were mostly the tough customers among C-class Fierce Beasts, with occasional B-class Fierce Beasts roaming and brushing past...

"Hm? Did someone appear over there?"

"It's a guy in black clothes!"

"Judging by the spiritual energy fluctuations... an Intermediate Warrior?"

"Heh heh heh... An Intermediate Warrior dares to venture into this Dark Forest? Is he looking for death?"

"Rather than letting him die in a Fierce Beast's jaws, it's better to let him die by our hands... Let's go!"

Unlike the previous teleportation spot, this Automated Monster Hunting location had other warrior teams present... They hadn't encountered anyone before because there were many lower-level Fierce Beasts and plenty of places to dispatch hunting.

In contrast, areas dominated by powerful Fierce Beasts were far fewer.

Running into other warriors in such a situation wasn't surprising.

And in the wild Fierce Beast lands, without the strict rules and regulations of the base, all the dark sides of human nature were magnified without limit... Killing and robbing? That was just the basics!

If they ran into some extreme types, there were even those who ate people!

This warrior team spotted one of the teleported shadows. Since it was already night, pitch black and hard to see clearly... and the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the shadow clearly belonged to an Intermediate Warrior, they instinctively mistook the shadow for a human who had come to hunt Fierce Beasts and harbored ill intentions!

"Boss, should we interrogate him? If he dares to come here, maybe another team is around too. We could squeeze some valuable info out of him!"

"Interrogate my ass! We've been stuck in this godforsaken place for almost half a month, and we've finally finished the mission. Why drag it out? Kill him quick and go back to enjoy ourselves!"

"Alright, tough luck for him. Let's just off him!"

This warrior team had eight members in total, all Advanced Warriors. Even in Base No. 7, they were considered a somewhat famous hunting team.

Dealing with a mere Intermediate Warrior was as easy as flipping a hand!

If it weren't for preventing this Intermediate Warrior from sensing anything and sending out a distress signal, they wouldn't have needed to make such a big show. Any one of them could have easily killed him alone!

"Kill!"

When the eight surrounded the shadow from eight directions, leaving it no chance to escape, the auras of Advanced Warriors erupted explosively. With lightning-fast attacks, the eight instantly engulfed the shadow!

Blades flashed.

Swords gleamed.

Cold light shimmered.

In the blink of an eye, they were already upon the shadow!

The shadow suddenly lifted its head. Its pitch-black, faceless figure made everyone's pupils contract involuntarily.

"What the hell is this?!"

At the same time.

"Ding! Host, the shadow is under attack by humans. Do you wish to counterattack?"

The system prompted.

"Hm? Under attack by humans?"

Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

Previously, collecting materials from monsters had gone so smoothly that he had completely forgotten about the possibility of encountering powerful wilderness ambushers... Now that the map had changed, the reality immediately made itself known.

"Since they attacked first, no need to ask—it's definitely those blind bandits roaming the wilds!"

"People like that, don't even treat them as human. Kill them all."

Su Xiaobai said flatly.

"Understood!"

As the system received Su Xiaobai's command, on the other side, in the Dark Forest.

"An Intermediate Warrior—how is his movement technique this agile? He can actually dodge the encirclement of the eight of us... and we're Advanced Warriors!"

"Normal. Some warriors just value their lives and train Body Tempering Techniques that focus on agility and reflexes... Haven't you noticed? He doesn't even dare to fight back!"

"But his movement is way too nimble! And besides dodging attacks, he doesn't seem to have any intention of running away!"

"Could he have already sent out a distress signal?"

"Enough, less talk. Finish him off quickly! The longer we drag this out, the more trouble we might run into!"

"Wait! Take a closer look—what's going on with this guy? How come he doesn't look human to me, more like... a shadow?"

The eight of them attacked while growing puzzled.

They launched a frenzy of strikes at the shadow.

But the shadow kept dodging, not letting them land a single hit...

Suddenly.

The shadow seemed to receive some kind of command, and abruptly lifted its head.

Boom!

In an instant, the aura of an Intermediate Warrior exploded outward.

"He's finally going to counterattack!"

"Kill him!"

Yet the shadow took a single step, and vanished from their sight in an instant!

Shiiing!

Before they could react, cold light crisscrossed through the night, and all eight of their bodies froze in place!

The next second, every one of their necks bent backward at an impossible angle, blood spurting from wounds as wide as a bowl's rim!

"S-So fast..."

That was the only thought they had before death.
