"Tch!"
Seeing the girl block his way,
Ye Xiu couldn't help sneezing.
There was no helping it.
She was too close.
If he opened the Black Hole all the way,
he might suck Zhao Ruo in before he could suck Luo Feng in, and then she'd be done for.
Fine!
I'm not as petty as you humans.
If you don't want to fight, then we won't.
Who could have guessed?
This Capybara was so good at switching gears.
Just a moment ago, he'd been opening a Black Hole with great gusto.
In the blink of an eye, he'd turned back into the adorable grass-eating creature.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng opposite him looked like a fighting rooster with bloodshot eyes.
He'd clearly seen the other party turn away,
yet he still clutched two throwing knives in his hands.
In truth, Luo Feng was trembling all over.
He'd looked fierce just now,
but only he knew what had really happened.
If Senior Sister Zhao Ruo hadn't stood in front of him, the next things to get sucked into the Black Hole would definitely have been Luo Feng's arms and legs.
"Luo Feng, why are you being so petty? Look at Capybara!"
Seeing how strange the atmosphere had become,
Zhao Ruo rolled her eyes at Luo Feng.
How could a top human fighter be less generous than a monster?
"Y-yes, sorry. I didn't expect him to..."
At that moment, Luo Feng didn't know how to describe what he was feeling.
By rights, this trial
had been specially arranged by the Global Elite Training Camp.
They'd come to this godforsaken South Australian Continent,
and everyone had planned to kill to their hearts' content,
improving their skills by fighting monsters.
But somehow, in this forgotten little town,
they'd come across such an unusual Capybara.
Not only was he exceptionally powerful, his intelligence far surpassed Luo Feng's.
How had this happened?
Until now, Luo Feng had never felt defeated.
But today, a monster had made him eat humble pie.
"Luo Feng, I think you should go train somewhere else. Don't interrupt me and Capybara!"
Even Zhao Ruo didn't understand why she felt this way.
This beautiful female warrior seemed to prefer spending time with the cute little creature in front of her instead of going off to fight alongside Luo Feng.
Actually, this was perfectly normal.
After all, men and women were different.
In a world ruled by monsters, humanity was under constant attack.
It was only natural that seeing a peaceful monster would stir the softest feelings in the hearts of young women.
A rough guy like Luo Feng would never understand!
"Fine, I'm going!"
After glancing at Capybara, who had gone back to eating beef jerky,
Luo Feng even felt a little shaken.
He quickly turned away and headed down the street beside them.
"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast, kid. Otherwise, I would've stabbed you to death with my throwing knives!"
Watching Luo Feng walk away,
Ye Xiu still felt a little indignant.
Among all the protagonists in Chinese animation,
Luo Feng was actually the one who seemed most like a villain.
A lot of viewers called him a tyrant.
Especially in the original story, on the Blood Luo Continent, Luo Feng had nearly slaughtered his way through the entire place by himself.
He was a powerhouse with blood on both hands.
At least Zhao Ruo was much better.
She fed me delicious beef jerky and even massaged me all over with her hands.
But the good times didn't last.
As soon as Luo Feng left, trouble arrived.
"Roar!"
It was a giant bear standing as tall as an eight-story building.
The earth shook with every step it took.
It was slowly charging toward them from the six o'clock direction.
"Is that a Lord-level Monster, a Giant Rock Black Bear?"
They estimated that it was still more than ten kilometers away.
But its terrifying presence and dreadful roar
had already set the whole city ablaze.
It wasn't just the human hunters.
Even most of the low-level monsters began fleeing for their lives.
The South Australian Continent had only around twenty million people, but its area was 80% that of East University!
So when the Great Cataclysm first struck,
the human population here was wiped out.
Every city and port became a paradise for monsters.
This Lord-level Monster had clearly caught the scent of humans,
so it was charging this way!
"Zhao Ruo, run!"
Sure enough, it wasn't long before a motorcycle came speeding over.
The long-legged, blonde, blue-eyed girl riding it was Janet, the one they'd seen earlier.
She'd originally meant to warn her companions before making a run for it.
But when she saw Capybara beside Zhao Ruo, she suddenly froze.
"Capybara, what are you doing here? Don't just stand there—come with your big sister!"
Though they were beautiful female warriors from completely different cultures,
both girls seemed to have immediately thought of taking Capybara with them as they fled.
However, Ye Xiu wasn't nearly as weak as they imagined.
Seeing the huge bear steadily approaching,
Capybara grew excited instead.
"Oh, finally! I've found a Lord-level Monster. I've been looking for a chance to break through!"
Based on everything he'd experienced so far,
Ye Xiu had figured out the rules for leveling up.
Killing a hundred little monsters might raise his level once,
but the effect was nowhere near as good as killing one big monster!
The easiest way to go from a Beast General to a Lord-level Monster
was to devour a Lord-level Monster!
Watching the Giant Rock Black Bear approach from afar like a moving mountain, Zhao Ruo and Janet grew extremely tense.
A Lord-level Monster was already beyond what they could handle on their own at their current level!
"Capybara, hurry up and leave! That's a Lord-level Monster!"
Zhao Ruo anxiously called to Ye Xiu, who was still standing there. Instead of running, he was excitedly twitching his whiskers.
Janet stopped her motorcycle too and waved urgently.
"Little guy, don't just stand there! Come retreat with us!"
But what happened next left both female warriors dumbfounded.
The round Capybara didn't run away. Instead, he dug in with all four limbs,
turning into a swift black shadow whose speed was completely at odds with his clumsy appearance, and charged straight toward the Giant Rock Black Bear.
He rushed forward without hesitation, with a resolute determination to press on no matter what!
"W-what is he going to do?!"
Janet's sapphire-blue eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Zhao Ruo froze at first. Then she watched Capybara's "small" but determined figure.
A thought that moved even her swept into her mind.
"D-do you think he's trying to protect us?"
Zhao Ruo's voice trembled, and tears of emotion even welled in her eyes.
"He must think we can't escape, so he's trying to draw that giant bear away with his own body!"
As soon as the thought occurred to her, it took root in her heart like wild grass!
That had to be it!
Otherwise, why would this incredibly intelligent Capybara do something so "stupid" and charge to his death?
He could easily have escaped on his own!
The speed and strength he'd shown earlier had been far beyond those of an ordinary Beast General!
He was doing this for us!
For the two people who had merely fed him beef jerky and petted him!
"No! Kaka! Come back! It's too dangerous!"
