In a dark and damp corner, Huang Wuye finally located the pack of Rot-Tooth Beasts that had just finished their hunt.
They were currently closing their eyes slightly, their bodies buried in the moist earth with only their upper halves exposed, looking for all the world like quiet children.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, pairs of truck-sized eyes slowly lit up, glowing like clusters of ignited torches in the dark corner, bright and dazzling. They sniffed the air with their snouts, and in the blink of an eye, they leaped up, emitting low, muffled growls.
"Roar! Roar!"
"Oh, these big guys have quite the keen sense of smell, don't they?" Huang Wuye's lips curled up, somewhat surprised.
"Boss, although the monsters on this Giant Wood Planet generally don't have high intelligence, they all possess unique innate talents.
For instance, the Vine Wood Ox has almost no grasp of domains, but its special talent allows it to form a defensive phantom on its body surface, capable of reducing incoming attacks.
Then there is this Rot-Tooth Beast; they possess highly corrosive bodily fluids and a sense of smell a hundred times sharper than an average wolf-beast. Coupled with sharp claws capable of tearing through C-grade alloys, their talents are truly formidable." At this moment, a golden light appeared; it was Dasheng, who was clarifying things for Huang Wuye.
As they spoke, the Rot-Tooth Beasts had already surrounded Huang Wuye. Looking down from the sky, one would see giants over a hundred, or even nearly a thousand meters tall, encircling a human man in white robes with red hair. The long spear in the man's hand looked like a toothpick in front of these behemoths.
"Hmm, a total of two hundred and eighty-three Rot-Tooth Beasts. Among them, three are at the early stage of the Universe level, two hundred and forty are at the high stage of the Universe level, thirty are at the peak of the Universe level, and ten are Domain Lord level, all at the first or second tier. Their strength is on the higher side; well, the weak ones have already been culled. This is just right for my first battle." Huang Wuye pierced through an incoming Rot-Tooth Beast while analyzing the situation. The spear, imbued with the Law of Fire, punched a clean hole through it. A ten-meter-wide hole was carved through its heart, and it was clearly not going to survive.
"Then, let's clear out the small fry first!" With a few more thrusts, he killed several high-stage Universe level Rot-Tooth Beasts. He swept his spear, sending a three-hundred-meter-tall beast flying, and then his figure shot upward.
Dodging the lunges of several beasts, he reached high altitude. At this moment, the massive creatures below seemed to have shrunk into little puppies.
"Prairie Fire!" Huang Wuye shouted, suddenly unleashing countless spear shadows. Beams of spear light, each twenty meters thick, shot out from his position, racing toward the Rot-Tooth Beasts in the blink of an eye.
A-Da was a Rot-Tooth Beast four hundred meters tall and six hundred meters long. Its life today had been quite pleasant; after hunting prey with the leader as usual, they had found a place to rest.
Just as it was sleeping soundly, a strange aura drifted over. A-Da was very angry; it let out an enraged roar and followed the scent. It wasn't surprised by the presence of its companions nearby—this was the basic instinct of an excellent predator.
However, at that very moment, just as it leaped up to tear the little bug apart, a fiery red spear beam struck from the sky, and it felt the danger of death within it.
It struggled to swing its sharp claws, wanting to tear apart the thing that brought it such danger.
"Sshhh!" Accompanied by the sound of a blade entering flesh, A-Da felt its consciousness gradually fading away. Its claws, which had never failed before, had already been pierced through.
It tried its best to shift its gaze, only to see its companions, who had leaped up just like it, also being pierced by the fiery red spear beams. They were like moths flying into a flame.
Hmm, something had fallen onto it; the scent was very familiar—the companions who had been swatted away by the Vine Wood Ox had emitted this same smell. Before it could think any further, its consciousness was gone.
Only a cold, broken limb remained, falling from the sky like a withered flower, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the air, Huang Wuye continuously thrust out spear shadows; the fiery red spear light and the rushing Rot-Tooth Beasts wove together into a perfect painting. The interweaving of blood and fire made this scene appear all the more tragically beautiful.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang Wuye stopped his movements. He turned his gaze to see giant figures slowly falling from the sky, like the afterglow of a setting sun.
They landed on the ground, which had already been shattered by the spear light, emitting dull, heavy thuds.
When everything finally settled, only about twenty Rot-Tooth Beasts remained in this space. Their truck-sized eyes were bloodshot, looking like giant red lanterns.
Each of them was at least a thousand meters long and eight hundred meters tall. Their bodies trembled slightly, and faint wounds could be seen on their hides. It seemed they hadn't escaped unscathed. The stinging pain from their bodies made them look even more ferocious.
Huang Wuye slowly descended, casually sizing up these remaining prey. He landed on a broken carcass, his toes resting on the scales of a Rot-Tooth Beast, his spear tip pointed at the remaining beasts as a signal of provocation.
"Roar!" As if enraged by Huang Wuye, they let out a shrill, low growl before turning into arrows and arriving before Huang Wuye in the blink of an eye.
A foul, fishy stench reached Huang Wuye's nose, causing him to frown slightly. Although these Rot-Tooth Beasts had decent speed, it depended on who they were being compared to. Huang Wuye's own speed far exceeded theirs.
However, he needed these big guys to hone his spear techniques, so he didn't dodge. He moved his spear and met them head-on.
Huang Wuye's figure wove between the Rot-Tooth Beasts, his agile movements effortlessly dodging the moon-white beams and sharp claws shot his way, as nimble as a silver snake.
The wind generated by the violent attacks ruffled his fiery red hair and the hem of his robes. His heart and blood accelerated slightly; he enjoyed this feeling of lingering on the edge of danger.
Without realizing it, his spear became faster, inadvertently leaving wounds on the Rot-Tooth Beasts.
Gradually, he became immersed in this feeling; he felt the breath of fire and the fluctuations of space. One spear technique after another was unleashed from his hands: Prairie Fire, Heaven Leveling, Void Shadow, Space Shattering Break.
This was his first real combat since creating the Spear Canon. Strong, truly strong. Under his spear, there seemed to be no difference between Universe level and Domain Lord level Rot-Tooth Beasts; they were all equally weak.
By the time he snapped out of this feeling, the Rot-Tooth Beasts could no longer hold on. They lay prone on the ground, panting slightly. The dense, crisscrossing wounds on their bodies were shocking to behold.
Their ruined bodies were like tattered rags, crumbling at the slightest touch.
"There is one last move left; witness my Void Death Calamity." As Huang Wuye's voice fell, a domain composed of flames appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping dozens of miles, and beams of spear light manifested from the void.
Huang Wuye slung his spear over his shoulder and leaped away. The flames behind him slowly dissipated, and the figures of the Rot-Tooth Beasts were gone, leaving only a patch of ashes.
ps: A real man never looks back at the explosion.
