Raccoon agent

Although Good Night was shouting for help, but...

Clearly, no one in this space is offering him any help for the time being!

On one hand, it was because although Good Night was screaming loudly, his buttocks were indeed bleeding...

However, the buttocks are not a vital area—a person is unlikely to die from being bitten on the buttocks by a wolf.

Although Good Night is in a sorry state, he is actually still able to hold on completely under this siege!

The injury on his buttocks was, in fact, his only injury.

On the other hand, it is because...

Within the entire space, hundreds of ferocious beast specimens had completely separated the three people, surrounding them completely.

Even if Xiao Nian and Joe Solence wanted to come to Good Night, it would be impossible.

Although these ferocious beasts, having been made into specimens, were noticeably stiffer than in life, and the Alchemy Monsters could no longer use their original abilities, relying only on their claws and teeth to bite and on brute force to fight...

However, the surging Alchemy Energy within them also granted them power far greater than they had in life.

And the most fatal thing is... they are now very difficult to "kill"!

After all...

These ferocious beast specimens are not actually Resurrection.

Whether it's Xiao Nian, Good Night, or Joe Solence, everyone can realize...

These ferocious beast specimens were brought to life by a complex effect created by several Alchemy.

They are essentially some kind of alchemical device filled with Alchemy Energy —except that the material and carrier of this device are corpses.

What is considered a "vital point" for living beings, and for these ferocious beasts, does not actually exist.

Even with their heads chopped off, bones broken, and chests caved in, they continue to bite and attack according to their pre-death instincts.

To completely stop these ferocious beasts, you either have to dismantle them entirely, destroying most of their joints, or you have to detonate the Alchemy Energy within them!

The former is what Xiao Nian is doing—a dagger without a guard is flying up and down in Xiao Nian's hand. Her strategy is that even though she is surrounded, once she locks onto her target, she will temporarily ignore the attacks of the other ferocious beast specimens, dodge as much as possible, or even use her Alchemy Shield to take the attacks, and then quickly cut her target into an immobile beast!

The latter refers to Joe Solence's fighting style.

This Royal Nobles rose through the ranks in the Great Wilderness, achieving Great Wilderness feats and establishing herself. She and Nightless Sky Huo Ming are essentially the same type of person—both wear the titles of Royal Nobles, and wear the guise of company executives... the ruthless outlaws of the Great Wilderness!

Even when she's hosting trusted friends in her office, carrying almost no weapons or advanced Alchemical Equipment, if she's in danger... her internal alchemical modifications and her own Alchemy are more than enough for her to handle a battle of this level!

Joe Solence's fighting style was simple: randomly grab one of the beast specimens that approached her and attacked, then use the alchemical energy channels under the skin of his left hand to inject the violent yet refined energy stored in the "alchemical energy storage device" within her body into it, and then...

Detonate that specimen!

The drawback of this fighting style is that Joe Solence herself would be at the center of the explosion—each time it was detonated, she would have to use Alchemy Shield and an energy-absorbing layer under her skin to absorb the shock and Alchemy Energy burst from the explosion.

But Joe Solence is clearly holding on.

Despite the somewhat disheveled state, the series of explosions did not cause Joe Solence any distress or even injure her.

However... this kind of battle does indeed make Joe Solence extremely unhappy.

"What a tedious battle... hunting prey I've already killed once before, fighting the ghosts of my own men—it was so easy to take their lives back then, but now it's so troublesome and messy... It's ridiculous!"

"Sure enough, since becoming a minister, I've been so busy with work that I rarely go to the front lines. My skills have become a bit sluggish and rusty!"

Joe Solence said, with a touch of emotion.

Xiao Nian swiftly severed the left forearm of a black bear specimen, then retorted, "Qiao, what nonsense are you spouting? Putting aside the difference in 'equipment'... you didn't kill this many at once when you hunted before, did you? What does this have to do with whether your skills have declined or not!"

Joe Solence grabbed a small badger specimen in each hand, squeezed it hard, and simultaneously his hands burst into alchemical flames.

She cheerfully exclaimed, "That's right, it's the Xiao Nian! Looking at it this way, maybe I've even made progress!"

"Xi Ba Good Night, struggling to hold open the mouth of a lion-like Alchemy Monsters amidst the layers of encirclement, repeatedly kicked away the gaping maws of two lizards and crocodiles that were closing in, "How come the number of specimens is still increasing? Xi Ba, they're still crawling up from the opening under the floor? Just how many specimens have you put here?!"

Joe Solence proudly stated, "Five hundred and forty-three. We just broke the five hundred mark last quarter, and this quarter we already have forty-three—actually, it should be close to five hundred and fifty, with a few still in the process of being made into specimens."

Hearing Joe's words, Good Night praised again, "Lord Xi Ba is truly amazing... However, this number doesn't seem like good news for us right now!"

"How long can your Alchemy Energy reserves sustain you in this battle? Even after Xi Ba these specimens have been completely destroyed, there are still fewer than 30 left, right?"

Xiao Nian immediately replied, "Twenty-seven, nine for me and eighteen for Qiao. I've counted them."

Joe Solence said, "Don't worry, my friend Good Night —we don't need to destroy these 543 specimens!"

"What kind of 'Animal Protection Association' is this? They may have some skills, able to hack into my alchemy system and even Resurrection specimens, but this is, after all, the Inner City, inside the headquarters of our Universal Trade Association, our Solence Family's stronghold!"

"Once word gets out that I was attacked, my family will definitely provide the highest level of support!"

"We just need to hold out until Reinforcements arrive... and it seems that's not going to be difficult."

Joe Solence said proudly, "While initially animateriums were a method I'd never seen before and quite startled... in practice, while novel, it's not particularly meaningful."

"This 'Animal Protection Association's' methods aren't particularly threatening!"

Xiao Nian nodded and said, "That's right... an assassination attempt of this level wouldn't be enough to harm Qiao."

"It's just a pity about your specimen."

Xiao Nian spoke, Joe Solence laughed heartily again, "I told you, the specimens aren't important!"

Good Night was also touched by their conversation and was about to say something optimistic when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

"Hiss-- Xi Ba, what the hell bit me?"

Good Night looked down...

A round, gray Raccoon stood at his feet and once again coldly made a "throat-slitting" gesture towards him.
