"Brother Qiang, we're no match for this giant ape, let's run!"

Mo Yanran shouted anxiously, her voice trembling, sounding like she was about to cry.

Hua Qiang glanced back at Mo Yanran, grinned, and said, "Don't be scared, relax, it's fine!"

This girl really had a good heart. Anyone else would have already fled, caring nothing for him or warning him.

This girl is someone you can count on!

Seeing that Hua Qiang wasn't running and was even choosing to fight the exotic beasts, Mo Yanran stomped her feet in anger.

However, she couldn't bring herself to abandon Hua Qiang and escape on her own.

Gritting her teeth and steeling her resolve, Mo Yanran gripped the long sword in her hand, took a few steps forward, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Hua Qiang.

She secretly thought, At worst, I'll die with him. This life was saved by Hua Qiang ten years ago, so it's fine to repay him now. I'll just consider it repaying his kindness.

Hua Qiang was also shocked by Mo Yanran's actions and was deeply touched.

This was only their second meeting, and she was willing to disregard her own life for a friend. Truly a remarkable woman, a genuine hero.

"Yanran, you guard my back. Watch me slaughter these two beasts!"

The two giant apes were getting closer and closer to Hua Qiang and Mo Yanran. They could even see the gunk in their eyes.

When the giant apes were about ten meters away from Hua Qiang, they suddenly stopped. They were a bit confused by Hua Qiang's actions.

The bipedal humans they had been chasing before were scurrying around in panic their courage shattered.

Why were these two people different from those others? They didn't seem afraid of them and were even holding weapons, preparing to challenge them head-on?

The two giant apes exchanged glances. The pain of losing their offspring had driven them into a frenzy, their minds utterly chaotic.

Even though they sensed something unusual about the situation, hatred filled their brains, leaving them no room to consider anything else.

At this moment, all they wanted was to kill the humans before them and retrieve their son's corpse from the storage pouch.

The male ape slammed its chest with its hand and let out a massive roar. Its seven to eight-meter-tall body leaped into the air, descending upon Hua Qiang like Mount Tai.

Simultaneously, it raised its two fists, as large as sandbasins, and brought them down fiercely towards Hua Qiang, determined to smash this bipedal human into a pulp.

The giant ape was convinced that this human was with the same group as those who had killed its son, and killing this person was revenge for its offspring!

Hua Qiang tightened his grip on his greatsword, his eyes fixed on the giant ape, and activated his Prediction skill.

In the next moment, the giant ape's movement trajectory and its weak points were all exposed before his eyes.

Hua Qiang flashed a sinister smile, lunged forward, and swung his greatsword. His perfected Decisive Strike made a grand entrance.

One moment the greatsword was in Hua Qiang's hand, and the next, it seemed to traverse space, appearing beneath the giant ape's neck.

Swoosh!

A beautiful arc was drawn. The giant ape's forward momentum suddenly froze. It then incredulously clutched its neck and fell backward, looking up at the sky.

Thud!

Its massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, causing a tremor.

[Slaughter Points +1020]

Holy crap!

Hearing the voice in his mind, Hua Qiang became incredibly excited.

The Slaughter Points from this second-tier exotic beast were a full ten times that of a first-tier exotic beast!

It seemed he needed to find more high-tier exotic beasts to kill in the future to earn Slaughter Points faster.

The female ape had been standing there, waiting for her mate to smash the human before them into a pulp and avenge their son.

She never expected that her mate would be killed by the human before her in the next moment.

This made her eyes blaze with fury. She let out a roar and madly charged towards Hua Qiang.

Now, she had an additional mission: to avenge her old man!

However, the same scene repeated itself.

Under Hua Qiang's Prediction skill, its weak point was once again accurately identified.

The greatsword in his hand seemed to have a will of its own, appearing eerily at its neck, and slashed!

The Decisive Strike succeeded, and the female ape's massive body also fell to the ground, unwillingly.

[Slaughter Points +1020]

Nice!

Hua Qiang gave himself a mental cheer, earning another 1020 Slaughter Points.

Two strikes, two exotic beasts killed, and 2040 Slaughter Points obtained.

This deal was too profitable!

Hua Qiang's gaze swept around and he noticed the person who had set him up earlier, hiding behind a large tree and peeking out towards him.

His eyes darted, and he immediately planted his sword on the ground, then hunched over, gasping for breath.

He even pretended that his body couldn't support him, his knees bending, and one foot knelt on the ground.

He looked tired and exhausted.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Seeing Hua Qiang's condition, Mo Yanran hurried over, supporting him as she asked, "Brother Qiang, how are you? Are you injured? Can you still hold on?"

Hua Qiang, panting, winked at Mo Yanran.

Mo Yanran understood immediately and started to exclaim loudly.

"Brother Qiang, you're injured?"

"What are we going to do?"

"Where can we find treatment in this wilderness?"

"I'll go find something to bandage you with. If we run into any Exotic Beasts, we'll be doomed!"

Tan Guoqiang was greatly shocked to see that the two Exotic Beasts had been killed by that fatty.

His heart pounded when he thought of the fatty's immense combat power.

I have to leave quickly, in case the fatty seeks revenge later.

Just as he was about to turn and flee, the scene took a sudden turn. The fatty looked very tired, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Hearing Mo Yanran's voice again, he confirmed that the fatty was injured and no longer had much combat capability.

His heart immediately burned with desire.

Earlier, the three of them had teamed up to kill a monkey that was two to three meters tall, but it had attracted its parents, two second-tier Exotic Beasts.

The three of them fled in a panic, like stray dogs, barely escaping with their lives.

The hide and flesh of these giant apes were very valuable!

If they could bring them back, they could make a fortune!

Since the fatty in front of him had lost his combat power, it was the perfect opportunity for him to return and reap the rewards.

The other two hadn't gone far either; they were also hiding in the dense forest, watching.

Seeing this situation, the three of them, as if telepathically connected, simultaneously emerged from the dense forest and quickly approached Hua Qiang and Mo Yanran.

"Hahaha! Brother, thank you so much for keeping my goods safe for me."

"I've finished my business, brother, and I've come to retrieve them."

"Give me back that bag!"

Tan Guoqiang said, approaching Hua Qiang with ill intentions.

He gripped an iron sword, ready to attack at any moment.

The other two teammates had made the same choice as Tan Guoqiang.

As they drew closer, a flicker of panic crossed Hua Qiang's face.

"What do you want? I'll give you the bag back!"

Although he said it, he didn't move. The bag was still hanging from his waist.

"These two giant apes are my trophies. You can't have designs on them!"

Hua Qiang continued his act.

Hahaha!

The three exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Brother, your ambition is too small!"

"As the saying goes, 'finders keepers'! Since we stumbled upon these two giant apes, how can we leave empty-handed?"

"Brother, you don't seem to have any storage devices. Since you've gone to the trouble, we'll take these two giant apes."

"When we sell them later, if we meet again, we'll give you a share."

"Hahaha... That's right, we'll give you a pittance if we meet again."

The other two began to show off their skills.

"Sirs, isn't this rather unethical of you?"

"You asked us to hold off these two Exotic Beasts to give you time to escape. Don't your consciences hurt?"

Facing Mo Yanran's questioning, Tan Guoqiang and his companions showed no shame and argued righteously.

"If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him!"

"When there's a profit to be made, being exploited by us for a small profit is also your value!"

"Alright, we're done talking. These things belong to us now."

"If you dare to have any objections, we don't mind turning you into droppings for the Exotic Beasts!"

As Hua Qiang saw the three approaching, he stood up straight, a wicked smile on his face.

"I absolutely detest being used by people. The three of you can say goodbye to this world!"

He swung the greatsword in his hand fiercely, activating the [Savage Blade Slash] skill.

A massive blade aura shot out from Hua Qiang's hand.

The blade aura spun magnificently, and before the three could react, their heads all fell to the ground.
