As time passed, more and more strange beasts arrived at the waterhole. Just then, a giant wolf, about ten feet tall, slowly emerged from the forest.
Seeing the giant wolf arrive, the 异兽 present immediately fell silent.
The multicolored tiger, upon seeing the giant wolf, quickly said to Lin Chen, "That's the giant wolf who summoned this gathering."
"Have all the 异兽 arrived?" Lin Chen asked.
Lin Chen didn't care who summoned the strange beasts; he cared if they had all arrived. He didn't want any to slip through the cracks, and even less did he want his origin energy to decrease.
Therefore, he immediately inquired if all the exotic beasts had arrived.
"Besides Little Tiger, it seems a wild boar is missing," the multicolored tiger said, looking towards the waterhole. "Yesterday at noon, that wild boar said it was going for a drink and then disappeared without a trace."
A wild boar?
Huang Qian looked at Lin Chen. The wild boar had long been killed by Lin Chen, so it naturally couldn't return to the waterhole.
"Are all the others here?" Lin Chen asked the multicolored tiger.
"Yes," the multicolored tiger nodded slightly, then cautiously added, "Sir, now that all the other exotic beasts have arrived, can Little Tiger leave?"
"Of course!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and looked at the multicolored tiger beside him. "You've worked hard all this way. I'll give you a ride."
"Sir, there's no need. I can leave on my own," the multicolored tiger said cautiously, thinking Lin Chen genuinely wanted to escort him.
Huang Qian, on the other hand, seemed to understand the hidden meaning in Lin Chen's words and sighed inwardly. Is it really okay to trick Big Cat like this?
"On your way!"
Lin Chen reached out and stroked the multicolored tiger's head. A terrifying force emanated from his hand. The multicolored tiger's eyes bulged, and its body fell straight to the ground.
Lin Chen had never intended to let the multicolored tiger go, not just because of the source, but more importantly, because it had eaten people!
In his past life, Lin Chen had seen a video about animals that had eaten people. They would always remember the taste of human flesh, and their gaze towards humans would be that of predators eyeing prey. Such animals absolutely could not be allowed to live.
Not to mention that these were monstrous beasts. Brother Hui and the others had already been eaten by it. It had tasted blood, so how could he let it leave?
"Lin Chen..." Huang Qian looked at Lin Chen.
"Those who have eaten people cannot be left alive!" Lin Chen said indifferently.
"No..." Huang Qian shook her head slightly and then looked at Lin Chen, "Be careful!"
Huh?
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback. He thought Huang Qian spoke because his method of killing the tiger was too brutal, but unexpectedly, she was just telling him to be careful.
"Hide well, I'll finish this quickly!" Lin Chen smiled calmly. For him, 异兽 below the fourth rank posed no difficulty at all.
Whoosh~
Lin Chen tapped his foot and leaped directly off the hill. With a loud bang, he landed on the open ground beside the waterhole.
Swish~ Swish~
Instantly, all the 异兽's gazes were drawn to Lin Chen. Leaping down from the hill without any injury, he was definitely not an ordinary person but a Cultivator.
"A Cultivator! Kill him!"
The leading giant wolf roared, and in an instant, several 异兽 closest to Lin Chen charged at him.
"Die!"
Facing the charging monstrous beast, Lin Chen didn't hesitate. He directly activated his Qi and Blood True Flames and charged forward.
Bang~ Bang~
His fists, empowered by the Qi and Blood True Flame, swung out. With each punch, a strange beast turned into a fireball and was instantly annihilated. In the blink of an eye, all the strange beasts that had attacked Lin Chen were dead.
"What?"
"Damn it, his strength!"
Seeing this, the remaining alien beasts' expressions changed drastically. Although the ones who attacked Lin Chen were mostly second-tier alien beasts, being able to kill them so easily meant Lin Chen was at least a third-tier, or even a fourth-tier Cultivator.
"Attack together! Kill him!" The leading giant wolf roared, its form blurring into an afterimage as it charged at Lin Chen.
As the initiator of this gathering, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch Lin Chen slaughter the 异兽. He had to step forward, so he attacked Lin Chen immediately.
Indeed, seeing this, the other strange beasts immediately charged at Lin Chen, as if intending to kill him on the spot.
"Good, come on!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen laughed heartily. He activated his 气血真焰 and plunged into the horde of 异兽. With a single punch, he took down an 异兽, completely ignoring their attacks.
The attacks of those monstrous beasts, when they landed on him, couldn't even leave a white mark. Seeing this, the monstrous beasts knew that Lin Chen's physical defense was terrifying, even stronger than their own.
"Damn it, how did such a powerful expert appear?" The giant wolf watched its companions fall one after another, their bodies reduced to dust. It knew clearly that it was no match for Lin Chen.
"Retreat!"
Without hesitation, the giant wolf wanted to flee. Unfortunately, once it was targeted by Lin Chen, how could it possibly escape?
Just as the giant wolf was about to flee, a surge of vital energy and true flames blocked its path, forcing it to change direction, while other exotic beasts continued to die under Lin Chen's hands.
In just a moment, about twenty 异兽 were dead on the spot, leaving only the giant wolf alive.
"So amazing!"
On the hilltop, watching Lin Chen display his might, Huang Qian's eyes were filled with admiration. Although Lin Chen had said it would only take a moment, she was still worried about his safety.
After all, even the best fighter can't handle multiple opponents. There were over twenty 异兽, could Lin Chen really deal with them all?
Clearly, her worry was unnecessary. Just as Lin Chen had said, in mere moments, all twenty-odd alien beasts were dead, leaving only the giant wolf at the front.
"Who are you?"
The giant wolf looked at Lin Chen in terror. Even as a Rank 4 mutant beast, it couldn't have easily slaughtered so many mutant beasts. Among the dead were also Rank 4 mutant beasts!
"Who I am is something you, dead wolf, don't need to know!" Lin Chen glanced at the giant wolf, his tone calm. "Answer my question, and I'll give you a quick death!"
"You..." The giant wolf was furious, but it also knew that killing it would only take Lin Chen one move. If the other party wanted to torture him, he would have no power to resist.
"What do you want to ask?" The giant wolf's face was ashen.
"I heard you were injured by other 异兽 in Qingzhou. What kind of 异兽 was it?" Lin Chen looked at the giant wolf and directly began to inquire.
As soon as he said this, the giant wolf's expression grew even uglier. He hadn't expected that even the Cultivators knew about his defeat by other 异兽.
"Who spread this news? I'll kill him!"
The giant wolf secretly harbored hatred, wanting to kill the informant. However, remembering his current predicament, the informant was long dead, and he himself would likely not escape death.
"Drag that guy down with me!"
A figure flashed through the giant wolf's mind. He then looked at Lin Chen and said, "It was an Orange Cat. I hadn't seen it before in the Qingzhou territory; it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. I was no match for it from afar. If it hadn't intended to spare my life, I would have died long ago!"
An Orange Cat!
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. It was indeed that guy. He knew that Orange Cat wasn't simple, at least Rank 5, or perhaps even stronger!
