As the main force came to a stop, everyone looked ahead.
Their expressions immediately turned solemn.
A hundred or two hundred meters ahead, several demon beasts had gathered together, seemingly gnawing on something.
Qi Zhen's expression shifted. Lowering his voice, he said, "It's a pack of Demon Wolves. Fan Gang, take some men and deal with them!"
"Yes!"
Fan Gang nodded and led several soldiers forward, preparing to sneak over.
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly rang out. Fang Bai strode over, excitement flashing in his eyes. "Captain Qi! Can we go too?"
Good heavens, I finally found you! Good thing I never gave up!
After waiting for so long, he had finally seen living demon beasts!
Fang Bai's broadsword was already thirsting for battle!
Qi Zhen glanced at him in surprise. "You're not afraid?"
Fang Bai said seriously, "We have to face them sooner or later, don't we? Before we encounter a powerful pack of demon beasts, we can use this chance to get some practice."
Qi Zhen raised his brows. "Kid, while the Demon Wolf pack isn't particularly strong overall, with only one Tier 2 Wolf Leader, they're carnivores with vicious natures. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Fang Bai hurriedly nodded. "I can! That'd be way too perfect!"
Qi Zhen glanced at Director Liu. Only after the latter nodded did he agree. "Fine. You'll act together with Fan Gang."
Fang Bai grinned, then gave Qi Tian and the others a meaningful look.
Xiao Yuan and A Xiu silently followed, while Qi Tian muttered, "We're starting already? Are we in such a hurry to die?"
Grumbling aside, he followed them too.
Fan Gang and his men rapidly closed in on the wolf pack.
These Demon Wolves were enormous, each one over two meters long! The Wolf Leader among them was even more imposing, stretching three meters in length!
Its wolf eyes narrowed before it suddenly let out a roar!
The next moment, the whole wolf pack was alerted!
But it was already too late!
"Beast! Die!"
Fan Gang leaped several meters into the air and brought his blade down in a savage slash!
Splurt!
Several streaks of blade light swept through the air, instantly slicing several First Order Demon Wolves in two!
At the same time, the other soldiers charged in and began fighting the wolf pack!
"They're coming!"
Fang Bai's trembling voice rang out as the four-person team formed a triangular formation.
A First Order Demon Wolf lunged viciously at them!
"Xiao Yuan, go!"
Fang Bai shouted in a low voice!
Xiao Yuan let out a growl, his eyes equally fierce. A pale yellow stream of Exotic Energy surged from within him, while a layer of mud armor covered his body. He charged straight at the Demon Wolf!
His mind was simple and direct. He had no fear of demon beasts at all. In his eyes, demon beasts were merely wild animals, and he would fight them all the same!
The two collided. The Demon Wolf's claws tore at Xiao Yuan, only ripping through a layer of mud armor, while Xiao Yuan's sandbag-sized fist smashed forward!
The Demon Wolf took the punch squarely on the forehead and slid several meters back. After stopping, it shook its head.
Damn it! Why was this human so strong?
"Hey! Take one of my Eight-Part Light Wheels!"
Qi Tian sprang into the air, gathering his Light Element Exotic Energy into a spinning wheel of light before hurling it straight at the Demon Wolf!
The light wheel tore open a wound across the Demon Wolf's neck!
The Demon Wolf cried out in pain.
"Not bad."
Qi Zhen and the others watched from nearby.
Qi Zhen nodded slightly. "For a first time killing demon beasts, their performance is barely passable. They have no tactical awareness or technique, but at least they have courage."
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yuan alone could kill a First Order Demon Wolf in a one-on-one fight. Qi Tian was at least a Tier 2 Martial Artist, yet his attacks lacked any real killing power.
Clearly, his foundation was too weak. He had probably been piled up with resources.
Director Liu smiled faintly. "The reason we sent them into real combat from the very beginning was to temper them."
The fact that these kids had received special admissions from martial academies meant their monstrous talent had been recognized. And monsters had to endure trials far crueler than those faced by ordinary people!
At that moment, the First Order Demon Wolf was easily suppressed by Xiao Yuan and Qi Tian.
Then a figure lunged forward!
"I'll do it!"
Fang Bai was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed before the Demon Wolf, a Lightning Ball already formed in his palm!
"Nice to meet you. Here's a grand gift!"
Fang Bai directly stuffed the Lightning Ball into its mouth!
Violent Lightning Power exploded inside the Demon Wolf's mouth!
It let out a mournful howl, convulsed on the ground a few times, then went to paradise.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing demon beast x1. Exotic Energy +10. ]
The system's long-absent voice rang out.
[ Congratulations to the host for killing a demon beast for the first time. Additional reward obtained: a small amount of Exotic Energy. ] [ Ding! Ten Times Crit Rate passive triggered! ] [ Host level has risen to First Order Intermediate! ]
As the system's voice faded, Fang Bai felt the Exotic Energy within his body increase considerably!
If his energy had originally been a single drop of water, it was now a whole cup!
He had directly broken through a minor realm!
The change sent him into wild delight!
His moment in the spotlight had finally arrived!
"Huh? Old Bai, why do I feel like your Exotic Energy has increased a lot?"
Fang Bai revealed an excited smile. "I'll explain afterward! Hurry up and kill them! If we don't, there won't be any left for us!"
With that, he charged toward the Demon Wolf pack on his own initiative.
The Monster Slaying Army killed demon beasts with astonishing efficiency. The Demon Wolf pack was about to be completely wiped out.
Qi Tian: "..."
"Wait, Old Bai isn't some psychopathic murderer, is he?"
Watching Fang Bai fight with bloodshot eyes, he could not help muttering.
Qi Zhen watched from nearby, somewhat surprised. "What's that kid's background? He doesn't look like this is his first time killing demon beasts."
Director Liu was also slightly surprised. "I didn't expect it either. His parents are Sixth Order martial artists and are currently over by the 'Wall.'"
Qi Zhen raised his brows at that. "Interesting."
Watching Fang Bai knead Lightning Pellets in his hands to ambush Demon Wolves, he suddenly said, "I suggest looking into that kid."
Director Liu: "..."
It was not only Fang Bai's performance that caught their attention. A Xiu was also remarkably impressive.
She had targeted a Demon Wolf from the very beginning, activating Spatial Energy to launch sneak attacks. Within several exchanges, she had killed one!
She had solo-killed a Demon Wolf!
It had to be said that accomplishing this much on a first attempt was monstrous enough!
The battle in the field was completely one-sided.
Under Fan Gang's overwhelming suppression, the Wolf Leader collapsed unwillingly.
Fang Bai had also killed until his eyes turned red. Working together with Xiao Yuan, he directly took down three First Order Demon Wolves!
[ Killed demon beast x1. Exotic Energy +10. ] [ Killed demon beast x1. Exotic Energy +10. ] [ Killed demon beast x1. Exotic Energy +10. ]
Fang Bai's Exotic Energy continued to rise as he killed demon beasts. In less than a few minutes, he had already advanced another step within First Order Intermediate.
"This feels so damn good!"
Fang Bai wanted to keep killing, but when he looked around, he discovered that only their own people were still standing in the field.
At that moment, both he and Xiao Yuan were stained with blood and looked rather bedraggled.
Qi Tian was doing better. He had specialized in long-range attacks.
During the earlier melee, he had also exhausted a First Order demon beast to death through his own strength.
"Holy shit! I actually killed a demon beast!"
Qi Tian said in disbelief.
The feeling was surreal. Just yesterday, they had still been in a peaceful city, yet now they were already fighting on a battlefield!
"Not a bad performance."
Fan Gang smiled at them before leading the soldiers back.
Fang Bai and the other three gathered together again. The four exchanged looks, all revealing excited expressions.
"I suddenly feel like demon beasts aren't that scary after all."
Qi Tian said with a grin.
Xiao Yuan scratched his head and chuckled foolishly. "They're much fiercer than the wild beasts in my village."
A Xiu said in a childish voice, "It feels better than killing people."
The three of them: "???"
"Your performance this time was passable, but as for your coordination, I give you zero points."
Qi Zhen walked over with his men and offered his assessment.
Fang Bai and the others fell silent.
It was their first battle. Although they had agreed beforehand to coordinate, once they began killing with bloodshot eyes, all sense of teamwork scattered like smoke in the wind.
Qi Zhen glanced at them. "Hurry up and move. We can't stay here long. If other demon beasts smell the blood and come over, we'll be in a very passive position."
As he spoke, he led the way away.
Director Liu walked over and said to them, "For your first battle, being barely passable like this is already fine. Be more careful from here on."
The group continued onward.
Fang Bai's thoughts, however, were inside the System Space.
He had now killed four demon beasts, leaving six more before he completed the mission.
If he completed it, his strength would rise by another large margin!
"Having cheats really does feel great!"
