Enveloped by the domain.
Teng Qingshan was like a ghost, silently appearing in front of the cave.
At that moment, the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger was still fast asleep.
Obviously,
it didn't think any opponent could silently get past its four most trusted subordinates and reach it.
Teng Qingshan glanced at the Mutated Tiger with four tails standing guard in front of the cave. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Five Telekinetic Weapons wreathed in fiery light shot out in an instant.
Thwip, thwip, thwip, thwip, thwip!
Five faint sounds rang out in quick succession as the Telekinetic Weapons pierced their targets' skulls.
The Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger, whose strength was close to Intermediate Lord Level, was slain in its sleep by Teng Qingshan.
As for its four high-level Beast General guards, even if they had been awake, they would still have died in an instant.
Enhanced by the Flame Domain, the Telekinetic Weapons could attack at ten times Teng Qingshan's flying speed.
They needed less than the blink of an eye to cover a hundred meters!
The reason he had been so cautious
was simply to save himself some trouble.
Lord-level Monsters were fast, too.
Although he could catch up to one, if he startled it, he would inevitably have to go to greater lengths to kill it. Being able to slay it outright was naturally the best option.
However, Mutated Tigers had a strong pack instinct. Even with their leader dead,
the several hundred remaining Mutated Tigers still charged at Teng Qingshan without fear, launching themselves at him in a suicidal assault as soon as they realized what had happened.
Even the weakest among the Mutated Tigers were Primary-Level Beast Generals. Each was powerful, and with more than five hundred of them, their charge made the earth tremble.
"Still coming to die? That saves me the trouble of killing them one by one."
Watching the fierce tiger pack charge toward him, Teng Qingshan smiled disdainfully. More than a dozen Telekinetic Flying Daggers shrieked through the air, sweeping past in a blaze of fiery light.
Every Mutated Tiger that came within a hundred meters of him was pierced by the weapons and slaughtered.
After stripping the entire pelt from the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger, which had reached the peak of Primary-Level Lord strength, he cut off all the useful Monster materials from the rest of the pack, packed everything up, and headed back the way he had come.
The elite Mutated Tiger pack was made up of Beast Generals at the Primary Level or higher.
Their pelts, claws, tendons, fangs, and other materials were all extremely valuable.
With his mind handling eighteen tasks at once, Teng Qingshan turned several hundred Mutated Tigers into materials in his backpack in less than half a minute.
Luckily, the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger was more than ten meters long. Its pelt was large enough to wrap up all the useful materials from the pack...
That was certainly making the most of everything.
With the threat of the Mutated Tiger pack dealt with,
Teng Qingshan proceeded to use the same method to eliminate the Mutated Leopard pack and the Wolf pack.
After packing up all the useful materials from their groups as well, he used Telekinesis to carry three large bundles and headed back to Northwest Base City.
By the time Teng Qingshan had dealt with the three most dangerous packs, Northwest Base City had already seen the battle through its satellite.
Commander Zhao An and the other officers in the Command Room exchanged glances, their faces filled with disbelief.
The Monster packs that had hung over their heads like a nightmare
were, under Teng Qingshan's Flying Daggers,
as fragile as chicks from the old era.
No,
they were even weaker than chicks!
The Lord-level Monsters that could withstand missile strikes
were utterly helpless against the Telekinetic Weapons Teng Qingshan controlled.
It hadn't been easy to tell with the Mutated Tiger, since it had been killed in its sleep.
But the Mutated Leopard and Wolf had been slain while fully awake!
Beneath that fiery light,
even the Mutated Leopard leader, which had reached Primary-Level Lord strength and prided itself on its speed and tough hide,
had been powerless against Teng Qingshan.
The Telekinetic Weapons caught up to it and cut it apart with ease.
It was killed in a single exchange!
The Mutated Wolf leader fared even worse. The moment it reacted, a fiery Flying Dagger pierced straight through its skull.
It died on the spot.
The scenes left an indelible impression on the countless soldiers and civilians in Northwest Base City.
This time, to bolster people's confidence in their ability to defeat the Monsters, Commander Zhao An had arranged for the satellite footage to be broadcast on television.
The footage showed Teng Qingshan killing Lord-level Monsters with a flick of his fingers.
For the first time, the people of Northwest Base City realized that those terrifying, grotesque Monsters were not invincible after all.
In the hands of a true powerhouse,
they could be wiped out in droves with a mere wave of his hand.
Back on the walls of Northwest Base City,
Teng Qingshan greeted Zhao An, left most of the Monster materials behind for them to turn into armor and weapons, then rode his spear toward Southwest Base City.
Shu City in the southwest wasn't very far from Lanzhou.
When Teng Qingshan arrived,
the city was also facing an attack by a Beast Tide.
The situation was even more dire than the Beast Tide assault on Northwest Base City,
because this time the attackers were rodent Monsters!
Below, the Rat Tide
was made up of Beast Soldier-level rats with black fur, numbering at least five hundred thousand!
The Beast General-level rats had blue-green fur, and their numbers were estimated at over five hundred!
Even before the mutations, rats had reproduced at an astonishing rate.
After the mutations, the survivors reproduced even faster.
After more than half a year of breeding and evolution,
rodent Monsters had become one of the top ten threats to humanity among all land-dwelling Monsters!
Back when he was in Jiangnan Base City, Hong and the other Martial Artists had cleared out rodent Monsters from more than half of the Monsters they encountered.
There was no helping it.
City sewers had always been a paradise for rats.
After the mutations, they became breeding grounds for rodent Monsters.
Fortunately, Hong was strong enough to keep the Mutated Rats from causing trouble.
But things were different out in the wilderness.
With no humans to interfere, Mutated Rats
evolved and reproduced at an astonishing rate.
Just like the ones here.
A Rat Tide that had never appeared around Southwest Base City before had now emerged.
Watching the Rat Tide charge madly at the defensive line below,
Teng Qingshan, as usual, didn't rush to land. Instead, he observed the situation first.
At the moment, Southwest Base City was holding out thanks to its overwhelming firepower. Teng Qingshan planned to see if he could first find the leader controlling the Rat Tide.
To control such an enormous Rat Tide in the early stages of the Great Nirvana, with high-level Beast General blue-green rats under its command,
the one behind it was most likely a Rat King that had broken through to Lord Level.
If he could kill a Rat King, he could naturally eliminate the threat posed by the Rat Tide.
That would be even more effective than killing a Tiger King.
Tigers reproduced nowhere near as quickly as rats.
Naturally, they posed less of a threat to humanity than rodent Monsters.
Now that a Rat Tide had appeared near Southwest Base City, it was likely that others would appear elsewhere soon, too.
Whoosh!
Standing on the Samsara Spear, Teng Qingshan plummeted in an instant to a height of just over ten meters above the ground, his body covered in a flow of earthy yellow energy.
The Rat Tide posed a huge threat.
Southwest Base City was unleashing its full firepower, but it could only hold back the black-furred Beast Soldier-level rats.
The blue-green-furred Beast General-level rats were extremely fast, their hides fairly tough. They streaked forward in blurs of blue-green, rushing past the defensive line.
Fortunately, Southwest Base City had many powerful Martial Artists.
The strongest among them had even reached Intermediate Warlord, so they could hold off the Beast General-level rats for the time being.
