Chapter 381: 226, Pureblood Human Path Massacres All Sides
Hydra, Crimson Flame Ants, Demon-eyed Giant Apes, Armored Earth Dragon, Shadow Night Cats, Bloodthirsty Demon Eagles...
In an instant, a multitude of high-level exotic beasts surged out in groups from the seemingly bottomless dark cave, their eyes gleaming with violence as they raced at high speed toward the people inside the tree cage.
The swarm of exotic beasts was extremely fast and caught up with the fleeing people in a blink of an eye.
Several people, who were slow and lagging behind, were unfortunately swallowed up in the swarm, emitting a few unwilling screams before they fell silent, becoming a meal in the bellies of the exotic beasts.
Lin Zichen, running at the front, sensed that people behind him were being brutally killed by the exotic beasts, and with a hardened heart, made the decision to cover their retreat and rescue them.
"Han Han, Yuyan, you guys run. I'm going to the back to save people, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, Lin Zichen let go of Shen Qinghan and Song Yuyan, who he had been holding in his arms.
He then forcefully launched himself, turning into a blur as he dashed toward the back.
...
At the very rear of the group.
Shan University students, who were slower and had a lower biological level, were now being knocked down by the chasing exotic beasts, then furiously torn apart, their blood splattering everywhere, instantly turning them into lifeless corpses.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Save me, please save me, don't leave me behind!"
"These damn exotic beasts! I'm going all out! Kill one to break even, kill two and it's a gain!"
"..."
Those at the rear were either crying and shouting for help from those ahead or, knowing there was no hope of escape, chose to turn around and fight the swarm.
Ma Xiwei, severely wounded in the waist, knew she couldn't escape, decisively turned around and charged toward the approaching swarm of beasts, wanting to die with dignity.
"Xiwei, what are you doing!"
"Xiwei, come back!"
Seeing Ma Xiwei suddenly turn and charge toward the swarm, Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian yelled anxiously.
Ma Xiwei showed no signs of stopping, her voice resolute: "I'm severely injured in the waist, I won't last long. I'm going to cover for you!"
"Cover your ass!"
Li Moyu cursed loudly and immediately turned and dashed at full speed toward Ma Xiwei to prevent her from needlessly dying in the swarm.
Luo Yongjian hesitated, but gritted his teeth and eventually followed him.
They would either survive together or die together, but they would not be cowards!
Buzz!
A whooshing sound erupted.
A high-level Shadow Night Cat, moving at a speed difficult for the naked eye to catch, charged in front of Ma Xiwei and raised its paw viciously toward her throat.
Ma Xiwei's speed was nowhere near that of the Shadow Night Cat.
However, she had a thorough understanding of this type of exotic beast and had preemptively predicted its movement.
Right before the Shadow Night Cat initiated its attack, she had already positioned herself to dodge easily.
As the cat's paw struck, she retreated slightly and successfully evaded the deadly hit.
At the same time, she swung her double swords powerfully at the heart of the Shadow Night Cat.
Being a species known for its high speed and average attack but very low defense.
Thus, even though this Shadow Night Cat was a high-level creature, a precise hit to its vital point could potentially heavily damage or even kill it.
Peirce!
Peirce!
Two dull sounds rang out.
Ma Xiwei's double swords accurately pierced the Shadow Night Cat's heart.
Suddenly, the pungent blood of the cat sprayed out, drenching Ma Xiwei's face.
She let the blood splash on her face and swiftly pulled out the swords and stabbed again, not giving the Shadow Night Cat any chance to breathe.
However, just after a couple of stabs, she was struck by the paw of the Shadow Night Cat on her arm, instantly splitting open her flesh and exposing the white bones, the pain causing the double swords in her hand to fall to the ground.
High-level creatures are termed high-level for a reason; even if their species has a low defense attribute, they are not something a regular creature like Ma Xiwei could easily take on.
Buzz!
The Shadow Night Cat swung its lethal claws again, aiming directly for Ma Xiwei's neck, intending to decapitate her with one swipe.
Ma Xiwei wanted to dodge, but with severe wounds in her waist, she simply couldn't.
Just as she braced herself to die.
A long sword shot explosively from behind, passing over her shoulder and piercing with a "pu" sound into the head of the Shadow Night Cat, splattering a large amount of blood.
Ma Xiwei recognized the long sword; it was the one Luo Yongjian often carried on his back.
Buzz!
Another whooshing sound erupted.
Li Moyu burst forth from beside Ma Xiwei, swinging the spiked mace in his hand and smashing it down ferociously on the seriously injured Shadow Night Cat.
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang...
With the sound of furious smashing.
The head of the high-level Shadow Night Cat was directly battered into a bloody pulp, utterly lifeless, dead beyond any doubt.
"We actually killed a high-level exotic beast!"
Li Moyu, looking at the corpse of the high-level Shadow Night Cat on the ground, had an incredulous expression on his face, feeling utterly astounded.
Luo Yongjian wasn't as emotional, pulling out the long sword from the body of the Shadow Night Cat and, without a word, turned and ran.
Seeing this, Li Moyu didn't dare to linger either. He quickly extracted the beast core from the body of the high-level Shadow Night Cat, then ran after Luo Yongjian.
More exotic beasts were chasing after them; if they didn't run now, they would soon be overwhelmed by the swarm and torn to shreds.
"Xiwei, hurry up and run!"
Seeing Ma Xiwei still standing in place, Luo Yongjian yelled anxiously.
Ma Xiwei shook her head palely and said, "You guys go ahead, don't worry about me, I've lost too much blood, I can't run."
