"Whoosh--"
The long sword slashed down.
Blood stained Shen Heng's clothes.
After killing another Calamity Beast, Shen Heng shifted his gaze, searching for the One-Horned Lizard lizard.
After killing the Castle Spider, he didn't waste time dealing with the One-Horned Lizard, but instead focused on the larger number of low-level Calamity Beast.
After all, there are only three Fourth Tier Calamity Beast left.
With a little attention, keeping them entangled and preventing them from leaving, they can't cause any damage.
However, this method cannot be used to deal with low-level Calamity Beast, given their sheer numbers.
Unless those low-level Calamity Beast are foolish enough to charge straight at them.
Otherwise, Shen Heng and his two companions would never have been able to entangle dozens of low-level Calamity Beast in one place.
But it's obvious...
Shen Heng's gaze swept over the Calamity Beast that were trying to bypass him and move towards the area behind him.
These Calamity Beast weren't that stupid.
But... what about the One-Horned Lizard?
Shen Heng frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over one Calamity Beast after another, but he couldn't find the One-Horned Lizard lizard.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and looked in one direction.
There, a figure seven or eight meters tall and more than ten meters long was running forward frantically.
He ran in the direction of...
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"
The One-Horned Lizard lizard sprinted forward, a pained expression on its head.
What exactly is going on in this world?
"They came at us with a bunch of random attacks, and then there were so many powerful two-legged insects!"
"And what was with that two-legged bug? He wasn't any stronger than me, so why couldn't I beat him?"
"Damn it, that's..."
Suddenly, the One-Horned Lizard lizard stopped.
He seemed to sense something was amiss, and his tail lashed out quickly.
"Boom--"
A violent explosion occurred at the tail of the One-Horned Lizard.
"Kawa, chattering away..."
The One-Horned Lizard hissed, but it was unclear what it was saying.
It did not turn around to check the injury on its tail, but instead quickened its pace.
"No, I have to get back quickly, but..."
"Damn it, I haven't seen any new ores or metals yet?!"
"Wait for me, I will definitely come back!!"
Under the moonlight, a lizard-like figure was running at full speed...
Did they... run away?
On the other side, Shen Heng stared in slight astonishment at the figure running straight toward the Light Gate.
Although he had considered the possibility of the Calamity Beast escaping, he never expected to encounter Calamity Beast on his very first day.
Especially what the other person is thinking...
Minerals and metals, and the habits of the One-Horned Lizard?
Shen Heng pondered for a moment.
Just then, Han Ling's voice rang in his ear.
"No, I tried twice and failed both times. It seems the One-Horned Lizard can pinpoint my attack location even without looking."
"It's run far away now, making it even harder to kill."
"Unless I chase after them."
Shen Heng gazed at the One-Horned Lizard as it receded into the distance.
He let out a soft breath and looked away.
"In that case, let's just forget about it and focus our main efforts on dealing with the other Calamity Beast."
"Mm," Han Ling replied.
"How is the situation?" Shen Heng asked.
"A total of twenty-two Calamity Beast have been eliminated so far, including Fourth Tier 4 beasts, five Tier 3 3 beasts, Tier 2 2 beasts, and five Tier 1 1 beasts," Han Ling replied.
"The remaining thirteen are near you."
"Another eleven Calamity Beast have taken a detour, avoiding the area where we just fought, and are chasing after the retreating soldiers."
Eleven?... Shen Heng turned his head, his gaze falling on the most distant of the Calamity Beast.
The Calamity Beast was nearly a kilometer away from him.
At distances like this, they were indeed too preoccupied to notice during the recent battle and could only let them pass by.
"Do you know anything about the past eleven Calamity Beast?" Shen Heng asked.
"Two Tier 3, six Tier 2, and two Tier 1," Han Ling replied.
This quantity... Shen Heng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:
"Go and support Lü Wenrui's side. There are only two Fourth Tier and eleven low-tier Calamity Beast left here, which pose no threat to us."
"But Lü Wenrui is only at the Third Tier. Eleven Calamity Beast, and a few more might also perish, he can't withstand it."
"Boom--"
Flames exploded at the head of a Tier 3 Calamity Beast.
As the Tier 3 Calamity Beast collapsed to the ground, Han Ling's reply came through the wristband.
"Okay, I understand."
Hearing the sound of footsteps quickly leaving in the distance, Shen Heng let out a soft breath.
He turned to look at Tang Yuanyang, who was fighting with the Gray-Furred Giant Ape and the Scalearmor Lizard. Just as he was about to go over to help, he stopped and looked behind him.
"Bang... Clang! Clang! Clang... Thud!"
The armored vehicle was knocked sideways to the ground by the incoming Calamity Beast.
With a hum, the wheels spun aimlessly.
A small, Rust Wolf wobbled to its feet.
It shook its head to clear its head a little, then its gaze unconsciously fell on the overturned armored vehicle beside it.
Perhaps it was instinct, or perhaps it was intentional, but the Rust Wolf stretched out its sharp claws and began scratching at the door.
Considering the dangers of the Erosion Zone.
All the vehicles that were assigned to us were made with the thickest steel plates.
Of course, limited by the vehicle's structure, even the thickest steel plates used as armor for armored vehicles cannot withstand the force of a Tier 3 Calamity Beast.
A screeching sound rang out.
Under the pressure of the sharp claws, the metal plate began to Distortion and deform.
But it did manage to hold on for a little while.
During this process, several armored vehicles nearby turned around upon hearing the sound, their wheels rolling over the snow as they quickly surrounded the area.
Gun muzzles emerged from the firing ports.
The next moment.
"Da da da da..."
The sounds of assault rifles and machine guns firing wildly erupted.
Flames spit out, spent cartridges fly, and bullets rain down on the Rust Wolf.
The Rust Wolf growled in pain, then quickly rolled away to dodge.
Using the overturned armored vehicle as cover, they began to maneuver against the surrounding soldiers.
Sometimes it would stick its head out and roar, spewing Corrosion gas; other times it would walk around the armored vehicle, dodging the armored vehicle that was also walking around it.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time.
The armored vehicle dared not get too close, fearing it would be overturned by the Rust Wolf, but it also dared not stop its pursuit.
Because once they stop chasing, the Rust Wolf might continue trying to break in through the window.
"Hateful!"
On one of the armored vehicles, a short-haired man slammed his hand heavily on the steering wheel.
"This beast keeps circling around us, what should we do?"
In the back seat, the shooter slightly lowered his gun, frowning as he said:
"How about we apply for one vehicle to be responsible for one location?"
