There was a roar, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, sounding in a distant direction.
Liu Lang looked tired, carrying the body of a strange beast, and walked quickly towards a simple wooden house along a road covered with dead leaves, somewhat panicked.
His eyes were bloodshot, he looked panicked, he had heavy bags under his eyes, his hair was messy, his clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and there was a faint odor emanating from his body. He hadn't taken a shower in many days.
It has been a week since Jiang Feng threw him into the area occupied by this alien beast. Without the protection of the city and the instructors, Liu Lang truly realized for the first time what it meant to be precarious.
There are strange animals and dangers everywhere here.
In the seven days since he came here, Liu Lang had hardly had a good night's sleep. He spent every day in fear. The roars of strange beasts that sounded from time to time in the middle of the night, even if they were very far away, would often wake him up in his sleep.
Originally, with his strength as a third-level warrior, he shouldn't be in such a mess.
However, in the area occupied by this alien beast, his energy and blood were severely restricted, and the strength he was able to exert now was only barely close to that of a third-level warrior.
In the past few days, Liu Lang has been on tenterhooks all day long. Although he can still muster up the courage to go out and hunt alien beasts, he only dares to pick out those first- and second-level alien beasts. He sees more powerful alien beasts, even if they are just suspected of being three.
He immediately fled far away from the super alien beast and was in fear all day long.
"I wonder how Wang Jin is living in another area..."
Standing in front of the simple wooden house, he looked up into the distance and sighed.
In Liu Lang's view, no matter how outstanding Wang Jin's performance was in the training camp, he was still just like him, a teenage high school student.
I am alone in this place where strange beasts are rampant, far away from the city, and I can't even see a human being.
I’m afraid that Wang Jin’s life today won’t be much better than his own, right?
"Clean up the strange beasts in this area... Haha, this is simply an impossible task!"
Thinking of the tasks Jiang Feng had given him when he left, Liu Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Clear this area of alien beasts?
Now that he can save his life, it would be good to live here for a month!
"I hope I can go back alive, and I hope Wang Jin will be safe and sound."
Liu Lang murmured to himself.
…
The wind carrying the smell of blood blew through the town.
The dilapidated building that could still barely stand had completely collapsed last night. Countless steel and concrete were shattered into powder, as if they had been completely cut and shattered by a knife blade. There were disgusting pieces of flesh and blood on the ground, and a few stones were scattered among the blood and mud.
In the middle, it is covered with blood stains and looks no different from ordinary stones.
A large fiery red bird was attracted by the smell of blood on the ground. It circled around and made sure that there was no danger in the area before slowly landing.
It stretched out its long, metal-like beak, and was just about to have a feast, but the seven seemingly ordinary stones in the pool of blood suddenly trembled, and the next moment, a waterfall-like sword light suddenly spurted out.
The big bird didn't even react at all, and was instantly swallowed up by the silver-white sword light. After a while, the sword light dissipated, and the big bird had become part of the blood stained ground.
Those few stones completely dimmed, and there was no movement at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a faint sound of thunder from a distance. Soon, a figure appeared on a high place on one side, raising his hand and waving to the blood on the ground. The few stones seemed to be pulled by invisible threads.
, actually flew out on its own and fell into the hands of the figure.
Seeing the blood stains on the stones, the man frowned and gently touched the stones with his hand. Suddenly, a burst of green light rippled like water waves, instantly cleaning away the blood stains on the surface of the stones.
.
"The sword formation has been used too frequently, and the true energy poured into it has been exhausted..."
Wang Jin looked at the dimmed pieces of ore in his hands and put them away.
After all, these ores are not real spiritual stones. They rely on Wang Jin to infuse them with his own true energy, so that they can play a role similar to spiritual stones. After all, they cannot last long.
What's more, even if it is a real spiritual stone, its power is not infinite and will be exhausted sooner or later.
"Now that the sword formation cannot be used for the time being, we must be careful..."
The sword formation is what Wang Jin can rely on to walk in this small town without any scruples. With this sword formation by his side, he can not be afraid of being surrounded by strange beasts.
It's just that now that the sword array's true energy has been exhausted, Wang Jin needs to replenish it with his own true energy, and it can't be used temporarily.
Even if you replenish it with your own energy, it will take at least seven days.
At least within these seven days, Wang Jin can no longer be as unscrupulous as before.
After collecting these pieces of ore, Wang Jin moved and ran towards the edge of the town.
He ran wildly in the dilapidated alleys. After several consecutive turns, he saw a pile of ruins of collapsed buildings in front of him. Behind the ruins, between several broken bricks and tiles, there was a dark hole in the ground.
looming.
This is a safe place that Wang Jin has found for himself in the past few days. It was originally a basement. After the building collapsed, the entrance to the basement was covered with bricks and tiles, making it very hidden and difficult to find.
If Wang Jin hadn't had a keen sense of consciousness and happened to pass by here, he might not have imagined that under the cover of the ruins, there was an intact basement that could be used as a shelter.
Only this time, as he approached the entrance to the basement, Wang Jin suddenly stopped.
He turned around slowly and saw vaguely visible creatures in the shadow of the ruins in the distance, lowering their heads and gathering together.
Under the flowing sunlight, the group of creatures was covered by the shadows of the remaining buildings above, and you could only see them lowering their heads and biting something.
There was a faint sound of something being scraped and broken.
Almost at the moment Wang Jin looked over, those creatures seemed to notice.
One of them slowly fell back out of the shadows, and the half of his body exposed to the sun was a wolf with mottled fur. It was twice the size of an ordinary gray wolf, and its two eyes still had a cold glow of green under the sun.
spread out.
Dense green lights lit up in the shadows, and one after another wolves with mottled fur came out of the shadows. At a rough look, there were no fewer than dozens of them.
Dozens of strange beasts slowly walked out of the shadows, silently staring at Wang Jin with their cold green pupils.
…
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the town, in a martial arts gym.
A clerical staff member hurriedly knocked on the door of an office, holding a stack of documents in his hand.
"Coach Zhang, Coach Zhang, something big happened!"
A few minutes later, a serious-looking young man in training uniform impatiently opened the office door: "What's wrong, Xiao Li? What's going on? You're so panicked?"
"Coach Zhang, something big has happened!" Xiao Li stammered: "A while ago, Commander Jiang ordered us from the martial arts school to remove all the beasts above level 4 in the two areas of Zhencheng Mountain and Huangning Town.
Cleaned up?"
"Yes, didn't we follow Commander Jiang's order and kill all the alien beasts above level four in those two areas? What's the problem?" Coach Zhang didn't understand.
"Coach Zhang, we missed a few level five beasts out there!"
Xiao Li's next words made Coach Zhang's expressionless face change drastically in an instant.
He quickly looked in the corridor and found that no one noticed the conversation between the two of them. He pulled Xiao Li into his office and said, "Come in and talk!"
With the sound of Peng, Coach Zhang closed the office door tightly and looked at Xiao Li with a ferocious expression, almost roaring: "Tell me clearly, why did you miss a few level five strange beasts? Commander Jiang ordered this
The action was directed by me personally, how could it be missed?!"
"Coach Zhang, you... look..." Xiao Li was startled by Coach Zhang's ferocious look, and tremblingly handed him the stack of documents in his hand: "The higher ups asked us to hand over our action records.
I just checked the action records and compared them with the alien beasts in the database, and found that it was indeed in the Huangning Town area... three level five alien beasts were missed!"
Coach Zhang's face was ashen as he grabbed the pile of information. After flipping through it for a while, his face became even more ugly.
"I missed the fifth-level beast... or three heads..."
Coach Zhang looked extremely ugly.
"The Shadow Blood Bat doesn't move in the daylight. It always hides underground during the day, so it escaped the cleaning...The Red Shadow Wolf was mixed among the wolves. It was because of our people's negligence that it escaped.
Cleaning... As for the third one, I don’t know how it escaped the cleaning..."
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he glanced at Coach Zhang's extremely ugly face and asked hesitantly: "Zhang, coach, should we... report the situation here to Commander Jiang truthfully?"
"no!"
Coach Zhang almost shouted these two words.
A few months ago, the Wuji Martial Arts School in the capital took the initiative to send personnel to participate in the operation to annihilate [The Nest]. This was an operation that was extremely beneficial to both the military and the Wuji Martial Arts School. The military headquarters could save more troops, and
Wuji Martial Arts School can not only receive medals awarded by the military, but also obtain a large amount of resources such as exotic animal meat during this operation, which can also greatly improve the image of Wuji Martial Arts School.
Coach Zhang is in charge of this area of Huangning Town.
Unexpectedly, it was just such a small thing that Coach Zhang would make such a mistake.
It was still a mistake made by Commander Jiang, who was the most strict among his subordinates.
Commander Rijiang made repeated orders that day, stressing to him several times that he must be absolutely foolproof and not miss any strange beasts above level four.
Now, he unexpectedly missed three heads at once!
How could he explain this to Commander Jiang?
"But..." Xiao Li looked struggling: "I heard that Commander Jiang reserved these areas so that a few young geniuses can practice their skills... If we conceal it and don't report it..."
"I said I wouldn't retaliate, didn't you hear me?"
Before he finished speaking, Coach Zhang yelled word by word, interrupting Xiao Li's words.
Xiao Li shuddered and shut his mouth obediently.
"If Commander Jiang finds out about this matter, not only me, but the entire Wuji Martial Arts Hall will be held accountable by the military department, including you, and everyone will be involved."
Taking a deep breath, Coach Zhang said coldly: "With Commander Jiang's temper, neither of us can reconcile the relationship, and our future will be ruined. Are you so willing?"
"But if Commander Jiang really invests several young geniuses into that area without knowing it..." Xiao Li still couldn't bear it.
"They are just a few young geniuses. They will die if they die. The most indispensable thing in this world is genius." Coach Zhang interrupted him coldly: "Facing level five alien beasts, those young geniuses will definitely have no way to survive.
When they die, who will know whether it was a fourth-level alien beast or a fifth-level alien beast that killed them? Dead people cannot speak."
He looked at Xiao Li with a cold look: "This matter, just pretend it never happened. As long as we don't tell it, who will find out about it? Forge the report and hand it in, do you understand?"
Xiao Li nodded silently and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He could only mourn for those young geniuses he had never met before, hoping that they could die easier.
For his own future, this is the only thing he can do.
