"Wait."
Host Xiao Ying stared fixedly at the screen, her voice trembling slightly.
"It seems our contestant Xu Fan has no intention of leaving that spot?"
At these words, the entire venue erupted in uproar.
Though Xu Fan's swordsmanship was extraordinary, even surpassing the bounds of human common sense.
The number of Nuger Worms was abnormally vast.
Covering the sky and the land.
Stretching endlessly.
A conservative estimate put these Nuger Worms at least in the four digits.
Even if they stood still and let Xu Fan hack away, it would be an absolutely terrifying feat of stamina.
Not to mention...
Every single Nuger Worm here feared no death, greedily craving Xu Fan's flesh and blood, surging forward wave after wave.
No matter how you looked at it, fighting while retreating until completely escaping the crisis was the normal person's approach.
But...
Xu Fan not only didn't choose to fight while retreating.
On the contrary, his foot stepped forward!
Deeper into the Nuger Worm's territory!
Such a detail naturally didn't escape host Xiao Ying's eyes.
Yet it shocked her to the extreme.
Even if Xu Fan was supremely confident in his swordsmanship, there had to be a limit, right?
He wasn't blind.
Couldn't he see how exaggerated the number of these Nuger Worms was?
And yet he kept moving forward.
Contestant Xu Fan...
How dare he?
Host Xiao Ying's palms began to sweat, wishing she could rush in herself and take Xu Fan away.
The guests in the livestream.
The production team.
And the audience.
None of them could understand contestant Xu Fan's train of thought.
Was he really that thick-headed?
Didn't he know how to circle around?
At least make a strategic retreat.
Was he really this reckless?
"Contestant Xu Fan is way too fierce, does he think he's Zhao Xin? 'With the will to charge into formation, there is life only in death'?"
"Can't understand Xu Fan's thinking, does he really think he's a god? Those Nuger Worms, there must be over a thousand, right? Once his stamina runs out, oh heavens, I can't imagine it."
"God Xu, please don't go any further!"
The audience rapidly tapped their keyboards, typing their thoughts onto the public screen.
Even...
Within a few minutes.
The Female Snow Wolf locked in battle with the Nuger Worms began to show signs of panting.
In terms of combat power.
The Female Snow Wolf could crush any single Nuger Worm here.
One bite was enough to pierce through its opponent's throat.
Its movements were clean and crisp.
Extremely ferocious.
But in the eyes of these Nuger Worms, there was only craving and greed for flesh and blood.
As for the gruesome deaths of their kin, it was as if they couldn't see them.
Let alone fear.
One fell, and immediately another crawled up.
Endless.
It looked like nothing less than a surging white tide.
This terrifying war of attrition was madly draining the Female Snow Wolf's stamina.
Worth mentioning...
Ever since being driven out of the pack, the Female Snow Wolf hadn't hunted any large numbers of fierce beasts.
At most, it ambushed small deer or rabbits.
As a result, while its explosive power was still strong, its endurance was far from adequate.
After biting to death seventeen or eighteen Nuger Worms in a row, the Female Snow Wolf's bite force began to decline.
From initially tearing through flesh to the bone in a single bite, it now had to first clamp down on the Nuger Worm's neck, then shake its head wildly, before it could snap the opponent's neck.
Not only was this inefficient.
From time to time, it would even get a small bite from a Nuger Worm.
In that moment...
The Female Snow Wolf found itself surrounded without realizing it, trapped in a desperate situation.
Only at this point did it realize its own strength was insufficient.
A trace of fear even flickered in its eyes.
There were too many of these Nuger Worms.
Staring at the vast white tide of the insect swarm.
The Female Snow Wolf simply couldn't think of a way to shake them off.
The most terrifying part...
Many Nuger Worms had even circled around behind it.
By the time the Female Snow Wolf reacted, its escape route had also been cut off.
Clearly.
These Nuger Worms had no intention of letting them go.
Despair.
Slowly took root in the Female Snow Wolf's heart.
One Nuger Worm even leaped up, pouncing at the Female Snow Wolf, opening its bloody maw wide, trying to imitate the Female Snow Wolf's attack method and bite through its throat.
Even worse...
Although the Female Snow Wolf noticed the enemy's attack, due to its depleted stamina, even though it could see it clearly, its body couldn't react in time.
Aside from watching helplessly as the enemy lunged at it, it couldn't even dodge.
It was over.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a sound of breaking air, a flash of cold light streaked past, instantly cleaving the Nuger Worm pouncing at the Female Snow Wolf in two at the waist.
Thud!
Two writhing halves of the insect's body fell to the ground.
No matter how frantically it bit and snapped, it couldn't reach the Female Snow Wolf at all.
Then...
A long blade stabbed straight down, piercing through its brain, pinning it firmly to the ground.
Seeing this, the Female Snow Wolf's eyes went wide, an expression of disbelief on its face as it followed the blade upward.
Who else could it be but Xu Fan?
Seeing the Female Snow Wolf backed into a corner, Xu Fan swung his long blade, carving out a bloody path by force.
Behind him lay countless insect corpses.
Like an Asura.
The Female Snow Wolf stared, transfixed.
"Holo, fall back."
Xu Fan's voice was low.
The Female Snow Wolf blinked. Clearly, it couldn't understand Xu Fan's words.
But...
It could feel an overwhelmingly powerful aura from Xu Fan.
Utterly different from the him who had roasted wolf meat, shared food, and given it fresh water.
No...
It was like two completely different people!
Even the aura the Snow Wolf King emitted in its enraged state couldn't compare to Xu Fan as he was now.
What exactly was this strange-looking creature?
It had no sharp fangs or claws.
So how could it be so unreasonably strong?
After finishing his words, Xu Fan didn't bother checking whether the Female Snow Wolf understood him.
He swung his blade at the Nuger Worm crawling toward him.
Whoosh!
Sword aura shot out in all directions, generating a terrifying air current like a gale, sending the lunging Nuger Worm flying backward on the spot.
That same sword aura sliced straight through the Nuger Worm in front of Xu Fan, cleaving it in two.
Green liquid splattered everywhere.
Xu Fan said nothing, raising his blade and bringing it down, raising and bringing it down.
As if he were chopping vegetables.
But...
As the corpses of the Nuger Worms piled up, an indescribable stench of blood filled the air.
It mixed with the rotting odor from their mouths.
Becoming utterly unbearable.
Even a fierce beast like the Female Snow Wolf couldn't help but vomit.
As for Xu Fan...
He still wore a calm expression, walking forward with casual ease.
Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass remained, and corpses littered the ground!
For the first time, these greedy Nuger Worms felt fear.
Terror flickered in the eyes of many, and their steps began to retreat.
They wanted to get away from the monster that was Xu Fan.
Even the Female Snow Wolf following him was completely dumbfounded.
That guy who gave her food and seemed so kind—turns out...
He was this ruthless?
But...
These Nuger Worms hadn't given up entirely.
Though some had been cowed by fear, more of them still eyed Xu Fan hungrily.
And to get their jaws on Xu Fan's flesh, they didn't hesitate to turn their bloody maws toward their own kind, devouring them frantically.
