Impact

Apart from Cai Guoli and Zhang Xuezhou, who were reduced to their twilight years and remained at the heavy truck camp, many others were sharpening their knives, and even Li Qi was somewhat weakened after being severely injured, participated in the night raid.

Nighttime is not a good time for fighting, and none of them had night vision.

But just as everyone else was in this situation, so too was the situation of the ferocious beasts.

Humans and ferocious beasts are in the same environment, facing each other without distinction, so there is no such thing as waiting until daytime to act. Everyone is even more worried that the ferocious beasts will change areas after being attacked.

The group returned to the heavy truck camp at 7:40 PM, but the schedule was adjusted to 10:30 PM, after which they set off again.

"The hunting party's pace will slow down at night, and they'll likely reach the beast area around midnight. As long as Committee Member Zhong isn't devoured by the beasts by midnight, they won't immediately engage in combat. There will be a period of adjustment after their rapid advance, followed by a search for a moment when the beasts are asleep and relaxed. In other words, the night raid will most likely occur around 1 a. m.!"

"Committee Member Zhang, I couldn't hold on back then, and I'm afraid even Bi Dazhi and Song Xianzong would have had a hard time holding on during such high-intensity combat!"

With the ferocious beast and the snake pit locked in a standoff, they are unlikely to move their territory, making a nighttime attack almost inevitable.

Zhang Xuezhou was calculating the timing of the night raid, while Cai Guoli, whose tendons and ligaments had been severed and locked, was worried about the other members of the team. Even though he had been pushing forward the Mental Strengthening Chapter, he couldn't help but ask Zhang Xuezhou.

Their age is indeed not suitable for prolonged high-intensity combat. It's like a vanity project. Although they all possess powerful strength, this strength is not sustainable. Once they are mentally exhausted, accidents are likely to happen.

From Alliance Island to Qinmeng, they have been involved in this operation for nearly two months, engaging in intense searches and battles, with the harsh and challenging environment constantly affecting them.

The hunting party was equipped with extremely high standards, including vehicles and weapons specially customized by the top leadership of the Alliance States. Its logistics were also very well-supplied, with ocean-going freighters waiting for them.

However, many of the elderly members of the hunting party had been living a life of luxury for many years, and even their retirement residences were places of leisure and tranquility.

The sudden shift to long-term survival in this area undoubtedly exacerbated the physical and mental exhaustion.

Cai Guoli was genuinely affected by the hairless tiger beast, but his physical condition was not good either.

There are several other people in similar situations to him, and if they were to encounter his circumstances, their situations would likely be very similar.

"You need to understand that my strength is somewhat lacking, making it difficult for me to participate in the hunting party," Zhang Xuezhou said, glancing at Cai Guoli inside the alloy cage before replying. "Moreover, that kind of divine grace isn't something I can quickly obtain just by asking for it. There's no way to coordinate effectively quickly, and even someone in a state of chaos would find it difficult to dispel quickly, let alone in this kind of unpredictable and dangerous nighttime environment!"

"Can't God Tu'er help us?" Cai Guoli asked.

"The god Tu'er is not omnipotent!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied to Cai Guoli with some surprise, feeling that Cai Guoli had been fooled too much by their tricks and charlatan tactics, actually placing his hopes on a religious object.

Although the wilderness does exist and was not created out of thin air by the Tuer people, the wilderness can't even protect itself and just barely survives each day, so how could it possibly protect others?

"If we can offer enough divine gifts, will God Tu'er grant us more?" Cai Guoli asked in a low voice.

"That would require him to have a corresponding need for divine favor through sacrifice," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"Could you please introduce me to God Tu'er? I sincerely believe in God Tu'er and am willing to dedicate everything our Cai family has to Him. I..."

Cai Guoli rambled on. Having experienced the confusion of old age, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Cai Guoli's mind was somewhat senile and it would be difficult for him to be as clear-headed as before.

"God Tu'er dislikes old men and women, and Tu'er Kolando was stripped of his chieftainship before he was even fifty. It's practically impossible for him to introduce you to anyone!"

Zhang Xuezhou decisively shattered Cai Guoli's hopes, leaving Cai Guoli disappointed but also bringing him back to his senses.

"You should focus on Mental Strengthening, especially after returning to Western Capital City and making full use of medical resources. Who knows, you might even live a long life and add another ten or eight years to your life," Zhang Xuezhou advised.

"I am ultimately unwilling to die in such a state of aimless wandering; some delusions still linger in my heart!"

Cai Guoli's face turned pale and ashen.

He looked at his waist, which was bound by iron chains, and then at his limp and powerless hands and feet.

This is the chaos and sorrow of old age, but it is also the reality he must accept.

After Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly struck him down with his delusions, Cai Guoli lost all interest in clinging to Tu'er's coattails and could only stubbornly study the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

He adjusted his mindset quite quickly, and soon immersed himself in the process of refining his work.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Cai Guoli inside the heavy truck, then jumped off and looked at the eight-legged spider beast that could transform into a tiger through the observation device on another heavy truck.

This ferocious beast's body is covered with stinging hairs resembling tiger stripes. More than 100,000 of these hairs make it look like a hedgehog covered in sharp needles, and anyone who dares to touch it will suffer terrible misfortune.

The eight-legged spider is adept at traversing different terrains, possesses potent venom, has a body resembling a hedgehog, and is capable of spitting out glue-like threads. This ferocious beast is quite well-rounded in its abilities.

If it weren't for encountering a high- Sequence Holder like Chimmon Hagrid, who excels at metal manipulation and moves with incredible speed, few Sequence Holder could stand up to this ferocious beast.

"You actually used the tongue openings you created to practice the Tiger Roar! Was your master a tiger-shaped fire meteor spirit? Did he teach you to transform into tiger-shaped forms?"

Although he knew the eight-legged spider couldn't speak human language, Zhang Xuezhou still couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps stimulated by the words, Zhang Xuezhou saw the eight-legged spider's mouthparts tearing back and forth, and its head slowly transformed into the shape of a tiger's head as if undergoing a metamorphosis.

"Roar!"

It roared at Zhang Xuezhou's observation window, then its head shrank back in the short roar, transforming back into its spider form, which was difficult to make a sound.

"Tch, it's just transformation, nothing special!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to his head at the eight-legged spider, and when an aging spell was cast on his head, his face instantly turned incredibly old.

After shaking his head, Zhang Xuezhou was able to dispel the aging spell and restore his appearance.

The changes brought about by the aging technique are clearly quite different from the transformation of the eight-legged spider. The aging technique controlled by Zhang Xuezhou controls factors such as wrinkles and the appearance of new and old facial skin, while the transformation of the eight-legged spider is purely a species change, not the biological camouflage ability that Chimon Haig mentioned.

"They seem to have magic over there too, but I've never seen it in all these years!"

Zhang Xuezhou was already obsessed with the art of aging, let alone the Transformation Technique.

However, he had also heard that there were extremely strict prerequisites for cultivating transformations, which were not something that ordinary people could achieve. If one transformed into a shape that resembled a mythical creature, then that kind of transformation would be useless.

The eight-legged spider's transformation wasn't particularly impressive, but there were quite a few ferocious beasts with normal tiger-like shapes in the gathering place. Excluding the real tigers, the appearances of the other ferocious beasts could all have evolved from this.

The reason why the ferocious beasts take this form is easy to understand. In the Xieluosi River Holy Land, there are demons who prefer to use their true forms, as well as many demons who like to transform into human form, even though the human form is not the strongest fighting form for the great demons.

These ferocious beasts, perhaps guided by their leader, believe that the tiger form is the perfect form, which explains this gregarious change.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the sky. After inspecting the eight-legged spider beast, he squeezed in some time at the heavy truck camp and continuously adjusted the Law Power within his body.

As dawn approached, he set off as agreed with Ren Yisheng, leaping into the dark night sky.
