Enveloped by his domain.

Teng Qingshan moved like a ghost, arriving silently before the cave entrance.

At this moment, the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger was still deep in slumber.

Clearly.

It did not believe any opponent could bypass its four most trusted subordinates to reach this spot without making a sound.

Teng Qingshan glanced at the four-tailed mutant tigers standing guard at the cave entrance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Five telekinetic weapons shimmering with flowing flames shot out instantly.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

Five soft sounds of telekinetic weapons piercing through skulls rang out in succession.

This Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger, with strength nearing the mid-level Lord Level, was slain by Teng Qingshan while still in its sleep.

As for the four high-level Warlord Level mutant tiger guards, even if they had been awake, they would have perished in an instant.

With the Flame Domain imbued, the attack speed of the telekinetic weapons was ten times faster than Teng Qingshan's own flight speed.

A hundred-meter distance didn't even take the blink of an eye!

The reason he was so cautious.

Teng Qingshan was simply trying to save himself the trouble.

Lord Level monsters were also very fast.

Although he could catch up, if he startled it, it would inevitably require more effort; killing it directly now was naturally the best outcome.

However, mutant tigers had a strong sense of pack consciousness, and even with their leader dead.

The remaining hundreds of mutant tigers remained fearless, launching a death charge toward Teng Qingshan once they realized what had happened.

The weakest among the mutant tigers were low-level Warlords, possessing great individual strength, and with over five hundred of them, the ground shook as they charged.

"To think you'd come to throw your lives away; it saves me the trouble of hunting you one by one."

Watching the menacing tiger pack, Teng Qingshan smiled with disdain as a dozen telekinetic Flying Daggers whistled through the air, a streak of flowing flames sweeping across.

Every mutant tiger that came within a hundred meters of him was pierced and slaughtered by the weapons.

After cutting off the entire pelt of the Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger, which had reached the peak of low-level Lord Level strength, and harvesting all the useful monster materials from the pack, Teng Qingshan packed everything up and headed back the way he came.

An elite mutant tiger pack where even the weakest was a low-level Warlord.

Their tiger pelts, claws, tendons, fangs, and other materials were all very precious.

With his mind split into eighteen tasks, it took him less than half a minute to turn the hundreds of mutant tigers into materials inside his backpack.

Fortunately, this Five-Tailed Mutant Tiger was over ten meters long, and the pelt he stripped off was large enough to wrap up all the useful materials from its pack...

This could be considered making the best use of everything.

Having resolved the threat of the mutant tiger pack.

Next.

Teng Qingshan repeated the same method, successively eliminating the mutant leopard pack and the mutant wolf pack.

After packing up all the useful materials from their packs as well, he used his Telekinesis to lift the three large bundles and headed back toward Northwest Base City.

By the time Teng Qingshan had resolved the three most threatening monster packs, Northwest Base City had already witnessed the battle via satellite.

Chief Zhao An in the command room, along with the other officers, exchanged glances, all wearing expressions of disbelief.

These monster packs that had hung over their heads like a nightmare.

Under Teng Qingshan's Flying Daggers.

Were as fragile as chicks from the old era.

No.

Even weaker than chicks!

Those Lord Level monsters capable of withstanding missile strikes.

Had no ability to resist the telekinetic weapons controlled by Teng Qingshan.

It wasn't very apparent when the mutant tiger was killed in its sleep.

But the mutant leopard and mutant wolf were slain while fully awake!

Under the flowing flames.

Even the mutant leopard leader, whose strength had reached the low-level Lord Level, found its prideful pelt defense and speed.

Utterly powerless before Teng Qingshan.

They were easily overtaken and sliced open by the telekinetic weapons.

Slain in a single exchange!

The mutated Wolf leader fared even worse; just as it reacted, a flaming Flying Dagger pierced straight through its crown.

It died on the spot.

These scenes left an indelible impression on the hearts of the countless soldiers and civilians in Northwest Base City.

This time, Chief Zhao An had specifically arranged for the satellite footage to be broadcast on television to boost the people's confidence in defeating the Monsters.

On the television screen, the sight of Teng Qingshan killing a Lord Level Monster with a flick of his finger.

Allowed the people of Northwest Base City to realize for the first time that those terrifying, hideous Monsters were not, in fact, invincible.

In the hands of a true powerhouse, they could even be wiped out in droves with a mere wave of a hand.

Returning to the walls of Northwest Base City.

Teng Qingshan exchanged greetings with Zhao An and left behind the majority of the Monster materials, telling them to process the remains into armor and weapons themselves, before mounting his long spear and heading toward Southwest Base City.

Shu City in the southwest was not far from Lanzhou.

After Teng Qingshan arrived here.

The city was currently facing an attack from a Beast Tide.

The situation was even more severe than the Beast Tide attack encountered by Northwest Base City.

Because the ones attacking this time were rodent-type Monsters!

The tide of rats below.

The Beast Soldier level rats had black fur, and their numbers reached at least 500,000!

The Beast Soldier level rats had cyan fur, and there were over 500 of them by visual estimation!

Before the mutations, the reproductive ability of rats was already incredibly strong.

After the mutations, the rats that survived possessed even greater reproductive capabilities.

After more than half a year of breeding and evolution.

It could be said that the threat posed by rodent-type Monsters to humanity had already entered the top ten among all land-based Monsters!

When he was in Jiangnan Base City, Hong and other Martial Artists had cleared out a large portion of rodent-type Monsters.

There was no helping it.

The city's sewers had originally been a paradise for rats.

After the mutations, they became an even greater breeding ground for rodent-type Monsters.

Fortunately, Hong's strength was sufficient, so those mutated rats could not stir up any trouble.

But it was different in the wilderness.

Without human intervention, the mutated rats.

Evolved and reproduced at an extremely rapid pace.

Just like the scene before him.

A rat tide that had never appeared in the vicinity of Southwest Base City before had now emerged.

Watching the rat tide frantically charging at the defensive line below.

Teng Qingshan, as usual, did not rush to land, choosing instead to observe for a while first.

At this moment, Southwest Base City was still holding on by relying on a frantic outpouring of firepower, and Teng Qingshan prepared to see if he could first locate the leader controlling this rat tide.

In the early stages of the Great Nirvana, to be able to control such a large-scale rat tide and have high-level Warlord Level cyan mutated rats as subordinates.

The one standing behind them was most likely a Rat King that had broken through to the Lord Level.

If he could slay a Rat King, he could naturally resolve the threat posed by the rat tide.

Moreover, the effect would be even better than killing a Lord Level Tiger King.

The reproductive ability of tigers was far inferior to that of rats.

Naturally, their threat to humanity was also not as great as that of rodent-type Monsters.

Now that the rat tide had appeared in Southwest Base City, it was likely that the same would happen in other places soon.

Swish!

Stepping on the Samsara Spear, with his body covered in a layer of earthy-yellow airflow, Teng Qingshan instantly descended to a low altitude of just over ten meters from the ground.

The threat of the rat tide was immense.

Southwest Base City was currently firing at full capacity, but it was only resisting those black rats at the Beast Soldier level.

Those cyan-furred Warlord Level rats were extremely fast, and their fur provided decent defense; they streaked forward like cyan phantoms, charging toward the interior of the defensive line.

Fortunately, there were many skilled Martial Artists within Southwest Base City.

The strongest among them had even reached the intermediate Warlord level, allowing them to hold their own against those Warlord Level rats for the time being.
