Death Jungle
The Main God stated that the Destroyer's mission is essentially the same as that of ordinary Reincarnators, only significantly more difficult. Therefore, this also means that other Reincarnators will appear in this mission scenario.
Coincidentally, Li Wei saw these reincarnators less than five minutes after he started flying.
They had clearly just been transported to the mission world, and were likely companions who had signed a 'Teammate Contract'. After the initial confusion, they began to gather in an orderly manner, awaiting the mission's release.
But what they didn't know was that a huge monster was hiding in the Jungle just a dozen meters away from them.
"Monster, Yian Kut-Ku, bird-dragon species"
This is the information Li Wei Eye of Perception. It's described as a bird, but this monster is a size larger than an elephant. At this moment, it's quietly hiding in the Jungle, its eyes fixed on the few reincarnators.
Li Wei did not continue flying, but instead landed on a large tree to watch the scene below.
A few minutes later, the reincarnators clearly received their mission, and just as they were about to leave, the Yian Kut-Ku hidden in the Jungle made its move.
It suddenly lunged forward, covering a distance of over ten meters in an instant. Its massive beak, covered in a hard shell, bit a Reincarnator who couldn't dodge in time, cleaving him in two.
Instantly, the unfortunate soul didn't even have a chance to scream before being bitten to death, its internal organs spilling out and splattering onto its companions. These people were clearly terrified. The Yian Kut-Ku screeched, its tail covered in hard shell lashed out, and another reincarnator's head was smashed to pieces. With a thud, the corpse fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.
The reincarnators, realizing what was happening, attacked the Yian Kut-Ku a few times, but finding it ineffective, they quickly scattered and fled.
Seeing this, Li Wei shook his head, thinking to himself that if these reincarnators could have rallied together when attacked, stabilized the situation, and then counterattacked, it wouldn't have been impossible for them to turn the tide. But if they fled now, all that awaited them was the fate of being slaughtered one by one by that Yian Kut-Ku, after all, that Yian Kut-Ku also had wings and could fly.
Along the way, Li Wei encountered several more groups of reincarnators. Strangely, wherever they appeared, a monster would always be lurking nearby, suddenly attacking them.
Some fought back, some died, but Li Wei thought of the Pink Rathian that had attacked him. In other words, this mission scenario was fraught with danger from the very beginning. If the Main God hadn't used Time Binding at the time, he probably would have been caught off guard by the Pink Rathian's sneak attack.
After flying for a while longer, Li Wei could vaguely see the edge of the Jungle. Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept over him, and when Li Wei looked up, he was startled.
Suddenly, a monster with a black shell appeared above his head. It looked exactly like the Yian Kut-Ku that Li Wei had encountered before, except that its size and appearance were significantly different.
"Monster, Yian Garuga, Bird Wyvern!"
With a sudden flap of the Yian Garuga's enormous wings, Li Wei immediately felt a strong gust of wind pressure, and his body involuntarily plummeted downwards.
The Yian Garuga cawed twice, its wings slightly folded, and its massive body, like a weight, chased after Li Wei as he fell. Judging from its posture, it seemed to intend to snatch Li Wei into its mouth in mid-air.
"Don't even think about it!" Li Wei flicked his hand, and a bolt of Finger Thunder out, striking the Yian Garuga.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The Yian Garuga let out a painful screech, but didn't lose a single feather, and continued its descent.
"The Finger Thunder is ineffective?" This was the first time Li Wei had encountered such a situation, but he was not flustered, since Finger Thunder was not the only attack method he had.
"Blood Control Method, Blood Condensation Kill!" Li Wei unleashed another ability once again. This ability was always effective; as long as the opponent had blood flowing in their body, they could not escape the Grim Reaper's scythe.
However, Li Wei was disappointed again this time.
Under the Blood Control Method, the Yian Garuga's movements were only slightly slower, but it was not immediately killed by Li Wei's Blood Slaughter Technique.
This time, Li Wei was truly shocked. Even his Blood Control Method couldn't kill the monster. Li Wei knew that his Blood Slaughter Technique hadn't failed, but rather that he couldn't successfully seize control of the monster's blood.
"Your Blood Control Method is too low-level. This is the result when you encounter a powerful creature," the voice of the Main God suddenly rang out, as if answering Li Wei's question.
"No wonder," Li Wei knew that although his special skills were fierce, they were only good for dealing with ordinary people, and were somewhat inadequate for dealing with the monsters in this mission world.
"This is the last time I'm reminding you. If you die in the mission world after this, it has nothing to do with me. Remember, learn the Devouring skill as soon as possible. If you want to survive, you must become stronger." After saying this, the voice of the Main God completely disappeared.
Li Wei knew he had to give it his all.
The Yian Garuga overhead swooped down, its sharp claws less than half a meter from Li Wei.
"Card, Earth-Rock Wall"
Li Wei was quick to act. Since lightning and Blood Control Method were ineffective against this giant monster, he decided to try the power of the cards.
A large amount of soil and rocks quickly surged up from the ground, forming an arch-like defensive layer above Li Wei's head. The Yian Garuga's sharp claws only scratched deep marks on this Earth-Rock Wall, without attacking Li Wei below.
Even so, this Yian Garuga is quite formidable. In terms of both speed and strength, it can rival a top-tier expert. However, its terrifying aspect lies not in its speed and strength, but in its heaven-defying defense and immunity.
Its hard shell, made of some unknown material, was immune to its own lightning attacks, and the Blood Control Method, which could easily kill a B-level human powerhouse, was ineffective against this Yian Garuga.
All that's left is to use the most direct physical attacks to break through the Yian Garuga's defensive shell.
With a flick of his finger, Li Wei summoned the Dragon Saber. Li Wei darted out from beneath the Earth-Rock Wall, leaped into the air, and unleashed a slash at the Yian Garuga.
The sound of two hard objects colliding nearly caused Li Wei's sword to fly out of his hand; the Dragon Saber was actually broken by the hard shell on the Yian Garuga's neck.
The Yian Garuga was quick to react; with a flick of its massive body, its tail, like a steel whip, swept towards Li Wei.
"Shifting Forms and Changing Positions"
The moment the Yian Garuga's tail, accompanied by wind pressure, struck, Li Wei vanished from his spot and reappeared atop the Yian Garuga's head.
"Break!" Li Wei's eyes widened, and he slashed down with his sword again.
This strike was clearly infused with Li Wei's lightning true energy; the heavy blade struck the Yian Garuga's head like a meteor.
Even with its hardest skull, the Yian Garuga was still somewhat dizzy from the impact, but it quickly recovered.
"Still no good?" Li Wei's heart sank. He knew that the Dragon Saber in his hand was probably not sharp enough to break through the hard outer shell. What was worse, the blade of the Dragon Saber was actually chipped.
With a touch of regret, he sheathed the Dragon Saber. Knowing that sharp weapons couldn't break through the monster's defenses, he figured it was better to fight it bare-handed. At least in Li Wei's opinion, the 'Shockwave Fist' could still inflict damage on this kind of monster.
Just then, a gunshot rang out, and a burst of sparks appeared on the Yian Garuga's shell.
Li Wei knew that it was the sound of Firearms Mastery, but even bullets couldn't penetrate the Yian Garuga's protective shell, though they successfully attracted its attention.
Li Wei quickly looked in the direction from which the bullets had come, only to see a girl standing on a Jungle, gesturing frantically at him, indicating that Li Wei should run.
After glancing at the Yian Garuga, Li Wei decided against continuing the fight and slipped into the Jungle.
In the Jungle, a burly man carrying a large axe called out to Li Wei. Li Wei then ran for several hundred meters under the escort of this unexpected 'friendly force' until he stopped at a rocky area.
Along the way, people kept emerging from the Jungle and following behind the big man. Li Wei roughly counted seven people.
Clearly, they were all in cahoots with the big man. Li Wei glanced at them and understood that they were all reincarnators, with combat strength ranging from C-Rank to B level.
After waiting a while, the gunman who had attracted the Yian Garuga's attention returned. Li Wei looked and saw that it was the girl who had given him the hand signals.
"That was close! Luckily, my Substitution Jutsu worked, otherwise, I would definitely have been caught by that strange bird," the girl said, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand and chuckling.
Immediately, she turned to the burly man and asked, "Sharp Axe, are all our men alright?"
The burly man carrying the large axe nodded, but remained silent.
Only then did the girl turn her gaze to Li Wei, looking him up and down before asking, "Why are you alone? Where are your teammates?"
As the girl sized up Li Wei also looked her over.
She wore a tight-fitting leather outfit; her appearance wasn't exactly stunning, but it was undeniably pleasing to the eye, especially her figure, which was practically perfect. A long sword was strapped to her back, and a holster was strapped to her long, slender thigh, containing a gleaming silver pistol. Presumably, the gunshot from just now came from this weapon.
Upon hearing the girl's question, Li Wei thought for a moment and then said, "I got separated from my teammates. I was attacked by that monster as soon as I entered the mission world. If you hadn't intervened, I would have been in serious trouble."
Li Wei had no need to tell the truth, after all, he had only met these people by chance.
The girl nodded and continued, "This time, Shadow Street has reopened and we've encountered such a troublesome mission. If we act alone, we'll probably die in the mouths of those monsters sooner or later. Seeing that you're quite skilled, why don't we act together for now? It'll be good to have someone to look after us."
