"Boom, boom--"
Lightning struck and explosions followed one after the other, and the Silver Claw Beast roared in pain.
Its eyes were wide open, its gaze fixed ahead through the blood-stained surface.
Several figures were surrounding him, with the one in front leaning slightly forward and looking at him with his arms outstretched.
This human isn't the problem; the real problem is...
The Silver Claw Beast shifted its gaze, its eyes sweeping over a figure that was half-leaping in the air.
A very faint sound seemed to be heard, and without thinking, the Silver Claw Beast immediately raised its claw.
"Boom--"
A burst of light erupted.
Damn it, these damned humans!
The Silver Claw Beast cursed wildly in its mind.
It stared at the three figures surrounding it, its jaw clenched tightly... Wait, three? Shouldn't it be four?
The Silver Claw Beast turned its head and quickly surveyed its surroundings.
However, in the rush, nothing was found.
But those humans attacked him again.
Seeing this, the Silver Claw Beast had no choice but to give up and turn its head back.
However, it stopped halfway before its head could be fully retracted.
A silver light flew straight towards them from their field of vision.
It tried to resist, but it was too late.
"Laugh--"
Blood gushed from the Silver Claw Beast's eyes.
A muffled sound came from the Silver Claw Beast's head.
The Silver Claw Beast's body trembled, then it collapsed limply to the ground.
"Hey, Qin Yu's ability, combined with his attack method and combat skills, is a bit underhanded!" Zhou Xuan looked at the Silver Claw Beast lying on the ground and couldn't help but grin.
"Indeed, it's easy to get hit in a vital spot and die if you're not careful!" Zheng Guomin nodded in agreement.
The ability to Environmental Assimilation, reducing her own presence; the use of bows and arrows, maximizing her attack range; and the attack techniques developed based on 'Kai' and 'Hung'— Qin Yu's combat capabilities have indeed greatly improved compared to before!
"The main thing is for everyone to distract it from the sidelines; otherwise, in a one-on-one situation, my attack would be much less effective." Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the other side, observing the figures around her.
"Furthermore, there's still a significant difference between my attacks and Sister Ling's."
Upon hearing this, Han Ling turned her gaze back and said:
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and your abilities are indeed very effective, so there's no need to be modest!"
"That's right!" Zhou Xuan grinned.
After saying that, he looked down at his injuries and then turned to look at the other members of the team.
Everyone had some minor injuries, but thankfully, none of them were serious!
"Well, it's just that we're missing a captain. Dealing with those two Fifth Tier Calamity Beast at the Anchor Point won't be so easy!"
"After all, I'm not Fifth Tier yet," Zheng Guomin sighed. "If I were Fifth Tier beast, this situation wouldn't have happened. I should be able to hold off the other Fifth Tier beast by myself, letting you deal with the Silver Claw Beast!"
As the number of Calamity Beast in the Erosion Zone increases, the Calamity Beast guarding the Anchor Point are at least two Fifth Tier beasts.
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "Hey, Old Zheng, how much longer do you have...?"
Han Ling did not participate in their conversation; as soon as she finished speaking, she looked around.
The surrounding Calamity Beast that had been blocked outside froze in place after seeing the Silver Claw Beast fall.
Then.
"Waaah--"
A long cry.
The long cry spread rapidly through the mountains and forests.
One by one, the Calamity Beast began to flee.
Han Ling looked at the scene before her and said without pausing:
"Everyone, while ensuring your own safety, pursue the fleeing Calamity Beast!"
Upon hearing this instruction, Zhou Xuan was slightly taken aback and looked at Han Ling.
Should we pursue them?
Han Ling turned her gaze back and said:
"Um..."
"... While ensuring your own safety, pursue the fleeing Calamity Beast!"
The instructions echoed in the ears of everyone in the mountains and forests.
Xu Yu let out a soft breath, shook the Calamity Beast off the long spear, and looked at the Calamity Beast that had begun to flee.
"Why didn't you chase after them last time, but you did this time?" Zhao Ran asked from the side.
Chen Zhanming also looked at Xu Yu with some confusion.
Xu Yu was also somewhat puzzled, but after a brief moment of thought, he said:
"The situation is different now. Last time we didn't pursue them because we didn't know when the beast tide would come, and we wanted to conserve our firepower. But this time, we just repelled the beast tide, and there won't be a large-scale beast tide attacking Bedrock City anytime soon. That's why we chose to pursue them this time, in order to obtain more resources."
"So that's how it is!"
Zhao Ran nodded slightly, then chuckled and looked at Xu Yu.
"But Xu Yu, you're really clever; you figured it out right away!"
"It's just reasoning from effect to cause; there's nothing difficult about it."
As Xu Yu spoke, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
He genuinely believed it wasn't difficult, but he also didn't deny his own intelligence.
"That's true," Zhao Ran nodded, then asked with some doubt, "But was this Captain Shen's decision, or the decision made by Captain Shen girl next to him?"
I'm being polite with you, but you really believe it's not that difficult... Xu Yu's lips twitched, and she looked up at the Calamity Beast that was fleeing rapidly.
"Regardless of who made the decision, let's hurry and catch up!"
Having said that, he took a step forward and dashed ahead.
Zhao Ran and Chen Zhanming quickly followed behind.
Chongshan City.
The smoke of battle lingers, and the echoes are about to fade.
A humanoid Calamity Beast, over two meters tall, stood on the hillside, its body covered in blood and grime.
The once brownish-yellow fur had been stained dark with blood.
But Wang Hu didn't pay attention; it stood silently in place.
A pale red aura wafted from it, like smoke.
At its feet, the corpses of Calamity Beast lay scattered in the surrounding area.
Not a single corpse was intact; they were all torn to pieces and smashed to pieces.
The surrounding area was a complete mess.
Dozens of surviving Calamity Beast circled around from a distance, too afraid to approach, their eyes filled with nothing but fear.
Wang Hu ignored them, his gaze fixed on the foot of the mountain.
There, a jelly-like creature was swaying gently, with tentacles waving around it.
Wang Hu couldn't see the Calamity Beast's eyes, but he could feel that he was staring at it.
The two stared at each other, locked in a stalemate.
Finally, the jelly- Calamity Beast shook its body violently twice, then turned around and moved away into the distance.
The long cry echoed through the mountains.
One after another, the Calamity Beast began to descend the mountain.
Wang Hu stood there, silently watching the Calamity Beast begin to retreat.
One after another, the Calamity Beast disappeared from his sight.
Finally, the last Calamity Beast disappeared.
But Wang Hu still didn't move.
It just stood there silently.
After a long while, a figure quickly came to his side.
Finally, its body swayed and it fell backward.
