Ruthless!

"You're courting death!"

Though Brother Dao was surprised, he remained calm in the face of danger.

With the strength of Peak Fourth Rank and years spent licking blood from the edge of his blade in the wilderness, his mental fortitude was naturally extraordinary.

With a sidestep, he barely evaded the sudden assault of the three giant wolves, then spun around and swung his blade.

The dagger in his hand plunged straight into one giant wolf's neck.

"Roar!"

Even in pain, the Thunder Horned Giant Wolf was a ruthless creature.

With an enraged howl, it endured the stabbing pain in its neck, opened its jaws, and spat out a lightning orb at Brother Dao.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Brother Dao had no time to dodge the lightning orb at such close range.

A terrifying aura erupted from his entire body. He was clearly preparing to take it head-on.

"Boom!"

The lightning orb struck him, and Brother Dao's body swayed several times as visible currents of electricity raced across his skin.

Gritting his teeth, he twisted the dagger in his hand and slashed fiercely.

The massive wolf head fell away.

The headless wolf body crashed to the ground as well.

One Thunder Horned Giant Wolf had died!

In the blink of an eye, the other two Thunder Horned Giant Wolves had no time to mourn their companion before pouncing to kill him.

Their scarlet eyes locked onto Brother Dao, intent on tearing him to pieces!

Brother Dao had no time to catch his breath either. Enduring the numb pain coursing through his body, he shifted sideways and evaded the attacks of the two giant wolves.

By then, Little Tiger had arrived to assist.

The huge axe in his hand cleaved toward one of the giant wolves.

"Bang!"

The giant wolf did not even turn its head. Its steel-whip-like tail swept straight at him.

It was completely an exchange of injury for injury.

If Little Tiger did not withdraw his attack and defend, then even if he injured the giant wolf, he would still take a blow from its tail.

Little Tiger frowned and raised his axe horizontally to block!

In this environment, trading injury for injury was far too disadvantageous.

If he took that hit, several broken ribs were inevitable.

Protecting himself came first!

Amid a dull crash, Little Tiger was blasted several meters away by the enormous force.

The giant wolf seized the chance to turn around and pounce at Brother Dao again.

At this moment, the six teammates who had retreated earlier also rushed in to attack.

In an instant, the two giant wolves were surrounded by the six of them again.

Brother Dao glanced over, then ran straight toward the wolf den.

Seize the bead!

"Roar!"

Though the remaining two wolf pups feared the humans before them, they still crouched low with their front halves pressed to the ground, baring their fangs and roaring furiously at Brother Dao.

"Die, you beasts!"

Brother Dao was utterly disdainful. Two cubs could not stop him at all!

Just as his dagger was about to end the two cubs before him—

Suddenly, an extreme sense of danger surged through Scarface's heart.

In an instant, Brother Dao's right eyelid began twitching wildly.

"Not good! Retreat!"

"Roar~~~"

A soul-shaking roar rang out, filling the entire underground world.

What followed was an even larger Mutant Beast appearing not far away.

Merely standing there, its terrifying aura made Brother Dao and the others tremble.

"Fifth-grade!"

With just one glance, Brother Dao was scared out of his wits.

It was a giant wolf covered in purple fur. The enormous horn atop its head shimmered with flowing light, and the four clear markings upon it stabbed at their eyes.

This was the Wolf King!

"Go all out! Attack together!"

Under normal circumstances, if they encountered a Fifth-grade Mutant Beast, they naturally would not fight it head-on.

Especially not a Mutant Beast with elemental attacks.

But now, the Thunder Bead was right before their eyes, only a hair's breadth away.

Wealth and honor were sought amid danger!

Brother Dao burst forth at his greatest speed. He did not even bother with the two wolf pups before him and charged straight toward the wolf den.

"Awoo~"

Seeing that this human dared act so recklessly right beneath its nose, the Wolf King was enraged.

A Fifth-grade creature already stood at the top of the food chain in the wilderness around River City.

Before its roar had even faded, the Wolf King's figure had instantly appeared beside the wolf den.

Its speed was enough to make one click one's tongue in amazement!

Brother Dao gritted his teeth and ignored everything else. He snatched the Thunder Bead from the wolf den and retreated explosively.

However, the Wolf King had already been provoked. Like a shadow following its form, it opened its blood-filled maw and bit down in a single savage snap.

He was, after all, an experienced veteran with rich combat experience.

At such a perilous moment, Brother Dao kicked off with both legs and shot toward the left like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

The sudden change in direction caused the Wolf King to miss.

But in the next instant, the Wolf King had already turned and pounced again.

A cold glint flashed through Brother Dao's eyes. Before Little Tiger could react, he grabbed Little Tiger by the collar and flung him away.

He shoved Little Tiger toward the Wolf King.

"No! Xu Xiaodao, you'll die a miserable death!"

He had never imagined that the big brother he had followed for so many years would make him a sacrificial pawn at such a moment.

Little Tiger's hatred was imaginable.

But all of it was meaningless.

The Wolf King's enormous jaws kept growing before his eyes.

With a crunch, Little Tiger's voice abruptly stopped.

Blood sprayed from the Wolf King's mouth.

Little Tiger died!

Brother Dao had no time to care about any of this.

While the Wolf King tore Little Tiger apart, he had already escaped more than ten meters and reached the other teammates.

But after seeing what Brother Dao had done, the six of them all moved away, afraid that they too would follow in Little Tiger's footsteps.

The looks they gave Brother Dao were filled with wariness and fury.

They had been brothers for so many years and knew Xu Xiaodao was ruthless and merciless.

But in the past, that ruthlessness had been directed outward. To the brothers in his own squad, he had honestly treated them rather well.

Yet today, they had never imagined Xu Xiaodao would do such a thing.

As trust collapsed, the six of them retreated frantically and scattered toward the cave entrance.

"Hmph!"

Xu Xiaodao snorted coldly, his speed soaring.

Before him, how could these Fourth-grade teammates possibly be faster than him?

With one kick each, Xu Xiaodao decisively kicked them one after another behind him.

Without even looking back, he rushed out of the cave and fled madly toward the outer area.

"Roar!!!"

An enraged roar sounded behind him, followed by the sound of wind tearing through the air as it rapidly drew closer.

"Damn it! A bunch of useless trash, and you only held it back for this little time."

Xu Xiaodao cursed and fled desperately.

Elsewhere, Lin Mo was feeling extremely happy.

Enjoying the improvements brought by battle, he was in high spirits.

"Heh, little brother Lin, not bad. You're handling four of them with ease now."

Zhang Junjie looked at Lin Mo in surprise, unable to calm his heart for a moment.

Wang Ling and Qin Bufan beside him were also somewhat stunned.

This was already the fourth group of Mandala Beasts they had switched to.

Earlier, Lin Mo had actually been able to handle two Mutant Beasts by himself.

Though he had looked somewhat clumsy, he had come through without any danger, which had surprised them.

For the third group, Lin Mo had faced three alone, saying that he wanted to temper his real combat experience.

Zhang Junjie and the others did not say much, merely standing by to cover him!

In the end, he completed it as well, seemingly with danger but no real risk.

But now, for this fourth group, Lin Mo actually said he wanted to handle four by himself.

At first, Zhang Junjie had not agreed.

Even they would find it strenuous to deal with four alone.

Lin Mo's vitality and blood was only 160. The fact that he could handle three had already greatly surprised them.

Four? Wasn't that a joke?

But Lin Mo's insistence made them retreat again, half believing and half doubting.

The result... they discovered in shock that this kid had truly held on.

And... he was still doing so without any danger.

"Brother Zhang, is this kid a monster? It's only been a little more than half a day, but he's improving way too fast, isn't he?"

Wang Ling looked in amazement at Lin Mo fighting in the distance.

"He really is a monster!" Qin Bufan nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Guo Hong stared fixedly at Lin Mo without saying a word.

From his initial mockery and contempt to his current silence, turbulent waves were also crashing through Guo Hong's heart.

He did not want to admit it, but he had no choice but to admit that this Lin Mo had some real ability.

Even he would find it somewhat difficult to face four Mandala Beasts at once.

But Lin Mo had been tangling with the four Mandala Beasts for a long time without ever falling into danger.

He even felt that Lin Mo was toying with these four Mutant Beasts.

It felt utterly unreal!

He's not simple. Guo Hong recalled what his older sister had said before, and his heart shook again.

When he turned to look at his sister Guo Li, he found her gaze even deeper than before.

Sure enough, Sister's guess was right. This kid has a secret.

He refused to believe that someone could become so much stronger so quickly under normal circumstances. It was unscientific!

[ Ding, prolonged battle triggered a critical hit. Thousandfold Return obtained. ]

At this moment, Lin Mo's system notification sounded once more...
