Crushing!

The moonlight was dim.

At this moment, roughly thirteen kilometers from Shelter No. 057.

Lin Ye stood atop a small hill, searching the surroundings for monsters according to the Command Center's instructions.

Awoo~~

Carried by the hot, damp night wind, waves of wolf howls drifted faintly from afar.

With his exceptional eyesight, Lin Ye spotted vague shadows slowly approaching from the southwest.

He raised the prepared Infrared Binoculars and looked over.

Within his field of vision,

Gray Giant Wolves the size of horses were steadily closing in on the shelter, numbering around forty.

Judging by their size, three were High-level Beast Soldiers, while seventeen or eighteen were weaker Intermediate and Low-level Beast Soldiers.

The rest were all insignificant monsters.

"Too bad there aren't any Silver Moon Giant Wolves. Their materials would have been worth more."

Lin Ye murmured, quickly dismissing the unrealistic thought from his mind.

After all, even among Wolf-like Monsters, Silver Moon Giant Wolves stood at the top of the pyramid.

Known for their cunning, viciousness, and solitary nature, they were called "Hunters" by Martial Artists.

Since the war between humanity and monsters began, the weakest Silver Moon Giant Wolf ever discovered had been at the High-level Beast Soldier rank.

Though Silver Moon Giant Wolves were highly valuable, they were not something ordinary warrior Martial Artists could lay their hands on.

As his gaze swept around, Lin Ye made another discovery.

It was not only the southwest. Traces of Wolf-like Monsters had also appeared to the north and east.

Altogether, the monsters from all three directions numbered around seventy.

"If they attack together, this could get troublesome."

Lin Ye frowned slightly, then turned his gaze toward the southwest, where the monsters were most numerous.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his expression changed slightly. "If there are monster traces here, then what about everywhere else?"

He tapped his earpiece and said in a deep voice, "Command Center, I've discovered around seventy Wolf-like Monsters here.

Please immediately investigate the other directions around the shelter. I believe there are more Wolf-like Monsters lurking nearby."

"Understood, Mr. Lin Ye. You only need to hold your position!"

"Mr. Lin Ye, the Wolf-like Monsters you discovered are merely scattered stragglers. The Iron Dragon Army has established defensive lines around the other sides of the shelter. Please rest assured and stay safe. If you cannot overcome them, retreat immediately."

"Over."

Lin Ye switched off his earpiece, and his gaze upon the wolf pack grew colder.

Shing!!

His battle saber left its sheath. Lin Ye silently rushed down the slope at an even pace.

He intended to deal with the Wolf-like Monsters to the southwest first, avoiding the danger of being surrounded from three directions.

A black figure jogged through the wilderness, drawing ever closer to the wolf pack...

Three thousand meters... two thousand meters... one thousand meters... eight hundred meters...

As he neared five hundred meters, Lin Ye suddenly slowed.

Wolf-like Monsters possessed exceptionally keen senses of smell and sight. They could spot enemies from a great distance and launch attacks.

At three hundred meters, the moment they detected Lin Ye, the savage and violent nature of the Wolf-like Monsters was instantly awakened.

"Roar!!"

The Gray Giant Wolves threw back their heads and howled, then charged toward Lin Ye on all fours.

Lin Ye drew his Dual Blades and held them in a reverse grip.

That would allow him to unleash greater power and lethality.

"Awoo!!"

Amid furious howls, three enormous, pitch-black High-level Beast Soldiers lunged at Lin Ye at high speed like heavy armor.

Six sharp wolf claws glinted with chilling light beneath the moon.

Whoosh!

Lin Ye, racing at full speed, neither dodged nor evaded. He closed directly on the three High-level Beast Soldier Gray Wolves.

At such close range, Lin Ye could see their savage heads and six blood-red eyes with absolute clarity.

At the same time, the three Gray Wolves locked their eyes on Lin Ye. Two of the Gray Giant Wolves opened their gaping maws and bit down.

The other High-level Beast Soldier led the remaining giant wolves in quietly spreading out to surround Lin Ye, waiting for a chance to attack.

Lin Ye lowered himself slightly and nearly flattened against the ground in an iron bridge stance, evading the bites of the two giant wolves.

At the same time, he struck!

Slash! Slash!!

Two flashes of cold blade light moved like extensions of Lin Ye's arms as they swept toward the necks of the two giant wolves.

Splat!

Splat!

The two razor-sharp battle sabers in Lin Ye's hands carried unstoppable force, directly chopping away most of the giant wolves' heads.

Splurt!!

Foul-smelling blood erupted forth.

After landing the blow, Lin Ye explosively twisted at the waist and shot toward one of the giant Gray Wolves like lightning.

A flash of saber light pierced through its tough fur and directly through its heart.

With his current strength, even a Bloodthirsty Tank with stronger defenses than a Gray Wolf would not withstand three strikes from Lin Ye.

As that High-level Beast Soldier twitched and collapsed, Lin Ye repeated the same technique and cut down the other severely injured Gray Wolf.

In the span of a lightning flash, only one of the three High-level Beast Soldiers remained.

After killing the two giant wolves, Lin Ye did not pause. He instantly turned to face the High-level Beast Soldier behind him.

With the same series of incomparably fierce attacks, Lin Ye swiftly dealt with the lead wolf.

Every High-level Beast Soldier was a formidable threat to ordinary Martial Artists. Those who could reliably kill monsters of the same rank possessed considerable combat power among Martial Artists.

And those capable of effortlessly instantly killing High-level Beast Soldiers... were undoubtedly among the strongest warrior Martial Artists.

With the three High-level Beast Soldiers dealt with, the remaining Gray Wolves posed no threat.

Lin Ye had no intention of letting them go either. After all, every beast soldier represented Attribute Points to him.

The slaughter began!

Amid one pained howl after another, giant wolves fell behind Lin Ye one by one.

What should have been an assault by more than thirty giant wolves became Lin Ye's personal slaughter performance.

Across the wilderness, a ghostly figure moving at full speed scattered in every direction as he hunted down the Gray Giant Wolves.

Every wolf monster he caught was struck in a vital spot and turned into a corpse before it could even howl.

[Killed 3 High-level Beast Soldiers. Obtained 12 Attribute Points.]

[Killed 7 Intermediate Beast Soldiers. Obtained 7 Attribute Points.]

[Killed 10 Low-level Beast Soldiers. Obtained 1 Attribute Point.]

[Movement Technique Proficiency +5.]

As one cold electronic notification after another sounded, Lin Ye stood upon the blood-soaked wilderness, a fleeting look of realization flashing through his eyes.

Sure enough, as his strength increased, the Attribute Points he gained from killing monsters of the same rank decreased accordingly...

If he wanted to keep obtaining large amounts of Attribute Points to increase his strength,

Besides killing more beast soldiers,

He could only turn his attention to stronger Beast General-level Monsters!

The night breeze brushed past, and the scent of blood in the air gradually faded somewhat.

Glancing back at the place where that grave mound had stood, Lin Ye's desire to grow stronger spread rapidly like wildfire in the spring wind...

"Hah~"

Letting out a long breath, Lin Ye looked up at the dim starry sky, and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Killing that pack of Gray Wolves had at least given him 20 Attribute Points and 5 points of Movement Technique Proficiency.

Yet he was still dissatisfied. He really should not have been so greedy...

"Heh~ Humans..."

After quietly mocking himself, Lin Ye opened the information interface, his brows twitching.

"Getting stronger feels incredible. I like this feeling... Point Allocation!"
