Inside the room.
Shen Heng sat quietly on the wooden bed, listening to the sounds around him.
Doors were pushed open one by one in front of his ear, and the Calamity Beast moved slowly in his ear as well.
Are they looking for something?
Food, prey?
Hmm... for the Calamity Beast, they're probably about the same!
In conclusion, the actions appear to be purposeful!
Thinking of this, Shen Heng turned his head slightly and looked out at the city, which was dyed crimson by the red moon.
Aside from very detailed areas like palm prints and architectural wear, everything else is done very realistically, like...
This world will look like this in the future!
"Puff--"
A soft thud of paws landing sounded in Shen Heng's ears.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze, then quietly stood up and walked towards the door.
Now that things have come to this, we can no longer expect them to leave on their own. We can only hope that we can launch a sneak attack and kill one or two of them later.
If it's First Tier, killing one or two will solve the rest.
If it's Second Tier enemy, even if you kill one or two, there will still be four left. And with four...
Well, at least it wasn't a zero score!
Outside, the sound of an old door being pushed open echoed through the corridor, and the sound of footsteps landing drew ever closer.
Finally, the sound of claws landing stopped outside the door.
Shen Heng subconsciously held his breath, and his already barely rising and falling chest completely stopped.
With a soft creak, the door was slowly pushed open.
A gray-brown wolf's head appeared gradually in Shen Heng's field of vision, perched on the door.
Its nostrils twitched, and its cloudy yellow pupils swirled within its eyes, reflecting the figure pressed against the wall.
Whoosh--!
A flash of light appeared.
The wolf's head rolled off, splattering black blood onto the doorframe.
A sudden silence fell over the surroundings; the wolves outside seemed to be still in shock, remaining completely still.
Tier 2 Gathering Wolf?... Shen Heng glanced at the few wolves outside the house, then quickly lifted his foot and hooked it on the door.
"Bang--!"
The door closed again.
Shen Heng lifted his foot and stepped diagonally onto the door frame and door to prevent the door from being pushed open directly.
There are only three usable items in this room: a door, a wardrobe, and a bed.
The bed is too bulky, and if the wardrobe were to tip over onto me, it would only cause trouble. The only truly useful thing is the door.
It can both block the view of the Calamity Beast and prevent Calamity Beast from rushing in directly.
Although this ordinary wooden door would break easily with a single blow to a Tier 2 Calamity Beast, it at least gave it a chance to be used.
Shen Heng held a long knife, his eyes fixed on the lower two parts of the doorway.
Outside, the wolf seemed to have realized what was happening. With a howl, the sound of running could be heard from afar, and the Calamity Beast guarding the entrance to the building came running over.
Before Shen Heng could wait long, a hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the door with a loud bang.
A gray-brown wolf's head was inlaid on the door.
Shen Heng suddenly raised his sword, ready to take advantage of the opponent's inconvenience and strike directly, when he heard a whistling sound in his ear.
Shen Heng glanced out of the corner of his eye and heard the sound of wind coming from outside the door, located in the middle of the doorway.
Are they planning to gamble and stop my attack?... Shen Heng seemed to realize what they were up to.
His right hand suddenly changed its movement, from a vertical slash to a straight thrust.
He clenched his left fist and slammed it towards the middle of the door.
In an instant, the fist struck the door with lightning speed.
Bang!
The door shattered and was propelled outwards by a fist.
However, after flying only a few centimeters, it seemed to encounter some resistance and suddenly came to a stop.
A fist and a wolf's head were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, separated by the broken door.
Inside the room, the long knife plunged straight down.
With a 'whoosh' sound, the long sword pierced straight through the wolf's head.
Shen Heng didn't linger. He suddenly drew his long sword and quickly retreated.
Almost as soon as he stepped back, the wolf carcass that had been lying motionless on the ground flew in through the broken door.
Bang!
The door and the wolf carcass slammed heavily against the wall.
Shen Heng glanced at the wolf corpse adorned with door ornaments lying on the ground, then turned his gaze to the doorway.
Suddenly, four pairs of eerie green eyes lit up in the somewhat dark corridor.
They slowly lifted their legs and walked in.
As they entered the room, Shen Heng was able to see their appearance clearly.
They were wolf-shaped Calamity Beast, each nearly a meter and a half long, with grayish-brown fur all over their bodies, and several black horns extending backward from their radius bones.
The already small room became even more crowded as they entered.
There was even one that didn't come in because the room was too small; it just stood at the doorway, its eerie green eyes quietly looking inside.
Shen Heng took a deep breath and looked at the several Calamity Beast surrounding him.
He now understood how the Calamity Beast felt when it was besieged by the Supervision Bureau!
The two sides remained deadlocked inside the house.
At one moment, a wolf suddenly leaped up.
Shen Heng stared silently at the Calamity Beast rushing towards him, his lips slightly parted.
"Lonely--"
Night, in the cafeteria.
"I said, if you're going to simulate it, why do you have to simulate the pain too?" Zhou Xuan frowned and bit into the bone in his hand.
"Brother Zhou Xuan, hang in there!" Cao Mingyu encouraged Zhou Xuan, "It's just a little pain. If you can't even endure this little pain, how will you fight against the Calamity Beast in the future?"
"You make it sound so easy!" Zhou Xuan glared at Cao Mingyu. "You encountered a Third Tier Dancing Egret Bird and got killed instantly, while I encountered several Second Tier Demon Raccoon Rabbit and was gnawed on for ages until I passed out!"
"..."
Shen Heng couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xuan. It seemed that his death was not so bad. Although he was bitten on the neck and didn't die immediately, he didn't suffer much torture either.
Cao Mingyu paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Maintaining pain is also part of the training, isn't it?"
"What kind of bullshit is this?" Zhou Xuan's lips twitched twice.
"Perhaps it's to temper our will?" Shen Heng pondered. "After all, we'll inevitably get injured when fighting the Calamity Beast in the future!"
"There's no need for it to get to my level, is there? Enough is enough, right?" Zhou Xuan was still dissatisfied.
Shen Heng nodded. Being bitten unconscious by Calamity Beast was indeed unnecessary.
As the group chatted idly, a figure walked over.
"Hey, you guys are all here?" Yang Xu stood by the table with a tray in his hand.
Shen Heng glanced at Yang Xu, ignored him, and calmly sipped the soup in his bowl.
"What are you doing here?" Cao Mingyu asked, frowning.
"I've come to check on you all!" Yang Xu said with a slightly insincere smile.
"We don't need your concern, get lost!" Cao Mingyu said, frowning.
"Hey, just because you don't need it doesn't mean others don't!" Yang Xu smiled at Fang Ran. "Right, Fang Ran? I even saved your life today!"
