The system's prompt came through.

"Dispatch!"

Su Xiaobai did not hesitate in the slightest.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

As his strength rose by leaps and bounds, the levels of the Fierce Beasts he killed rose accordingly. The Fierce Beast Materials he obtained also became more precious and valuable... With money, he could continue upgrading the system's functions and keep increasing his strength by leaps and bounds, thereby completing an optimal cycle!

"Auto Dispatch complete!"

The moment Su Xiaobai issued the order, the system on the other side swiftly carried it out.

The two shadows engaged in Automated Monster Hunting continued their tireless slaughter.

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

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

A flaming palm shot through the air, and a Fierce Beast in the distance was pierced on the spot!

The Fierce Beasts drawn in by the thick scent of blood wafting through the air saw this scene. Fear instinctively surfaced in their eyes, and they all turned and fled into the distance!

They were Fierce Beasts, not idiots.

When faced with the strong, they instinctively felt fear as well!

The two shadows were about to pursue them, but suddenly, they seemed to receive some kind of signal. They stopped moving one after another and stood motionless where they were.

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

Only after the fleeing Fierce Beasts sensed that their aura had disappeared did they stop and cautiously turn their heads to look back...

The two shadows, meanwhile, had been teleported to an even more desolate Fierce Beast territory!

Most of the Fierce Beasts entrenched here were vicious characters among the C-class Fierce Beasts. Every now and then, even a B-class Fierce Beast could be seen prowling about...

"Hm? Did someone appear over there?"

"It's a guy dressed in black!"

"Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy... an Intermediate Warrior?"

"Heh heh heh... An Intermediate Warrior actually dares to enter the Dark Forest? Is he courting death?"

"Rather than letting him die in a Fierce Beast's jaws, he might as well die at our hands... Let's go!"

Unlike the place where it had been teleported before, this Automated Monster Hunting location was occupied by another Warrior team... The reason they had not encountered anyone before was that there were many more low-level Fierce Beasts, meaning there were also more places suitable for dispatching people to hunt monsters.

By comparison, places occupied by powerful Fierce Beasts were obviously far fewer.

Under such circumstances, encountering other Warriors was nothing unusual.

And out in the wilderness, in Fierce Beast territory, there were no strict rules and regulations like those in the bases. Every dark side of human nature would be magnified without limit here... Killing and robbery? Those were merely the basics!

If they encountered some extremists, they might even eat people!

This Warrior team discovered one of the shadows that had been teleported over. Since it was already nighttime, everything was pitch-black, making the situation impossible to see clearly... The fluctuations of spiritual energy radiating from the shadow unmistakably belonged to an Intermediate Warrior. Thus, they subconsciously took the shadow for a human who had come to hunt Fierce Beasts, and evil intentions arose in their hearts!

"Boss, should we interrogate him? Since he dared to come here, there might be another team here as well. We might be able to get some valuable information out of him!"

"Interrogate my ass! We've been stuck in this godforsaken place for nearly half a month. We finally finished the mission, so what are you still dawdling for? Kill him quickly and go back to enjoy ourselves!"

"Got it. Just his bad luck. Let's butcher him!"

This Warrior team consisted of eight people, all of them Advanced Warriors. Even in Base No., they were a fairly well-known hunting team.

Dealing with a mere Intermediate Warrior would be a piece of cake.

If they were not worried that the Intermediate Warrior might notice them and send out a distress signal, they would not have needed to make such a grand display. Any one of them could have come over and killed him with ease!

"Kill!"

Once the eight of them surrounded the shadow from eight directions, leaving him no chance to escape, the might of the Advanced Warriors erupted with a boom. With attacks as swift as lightning, the eight of them instantly enveloped the shadow!

Blades flashed.

Sword light gleamed.

Cold radiance glittered.

In practically the blink of an eye, they had already reached the shadow!

The shadow suddenly raised its head. The pitch-black figure without a face made every one of them involuntarily contract their pupils.

"What is this thing?!"

At the same time.

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

The system issued its prompt.

"Hm? Under attack by humans?"

Su Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

The monster hunting and material collection had gone too smoothly before, and he had completely forgotten that the shadow might be attacked and killed by powerful enemies in the wilderness... Now that it had changed maps, the problem immediately revealed itself.

"Since they attacked first, there's no need to ask. They must be those blind bandits in the wilderness!"

"People like this don't need to be treated as humans. Kill them all."

Su Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

"Understood!"

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

"How can an Intermediate Warrior be so nimble? He can actually dodge the attacks of all eight of us... We're Advanced Warriors!"

"That's normal! Some Warriors value their lives and specifically cultivate Body Tempering Techniques that improve their agility and reaction speed... Didn't you notice? He doesn't even dare fight back!"

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

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

"Enough chatter. Finish him quickly! The longer we drag this out, the more likely it is that we'll run into trouble again!"

"Wait! Look carefully. What exactly is going on with this guy? The more I look at him, the less he seems like a human. He looks more like... a shadow?"

The eight of them attacked while voicing their doubts.

They unleashed a frenzy of attacks on the shadow.

But the shadow kept dodging, leaving them unable even to touch it...

Suddenly.

The shadow seemed to have received some command. It abruptly raised its head.

Boom!

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

"He's finally going to fight back!"

"Cut him down!"

Yet the shadow stamped one foot and vanished before their eyes!

Slash!

Before they could react, cold light crossed through the night. All eight figures stiffened where they stood!

The next second, every one of their necks bent backward at an inconceivable angle, while blood sprayed from wounds as wide as bowls!

"So... so fast..."

That was the only thought they had before dying..
