"They're here! Be careful and protect yourselves!" Wang Chengzhou cursed under his breath as Zhang Guodong told Du Gan and those strange beasts with the jinx that they were coming.

He really didn't want to face them so late at night.

The guards protected the two doctors and two somewhat panicked farmers, while Wang Chengzhou and Li Lizheng were heavily guarded. Zhang Guodong no longer had anyone he cared about.

"Second Uncle, what animal is that sounding?" Li Lizheng asked nervously, looking around. But unfortunately, the human eye cannot see at night without external aids.

"The loud, clear sound must be from birds!" Captain Tang said, glancing around and listening intently to the sounds around him.

"A bird?" Li Lizheng seemed relieved.

"Gah"

"Gah"

Then came a series of piercing screams that tore through the sky, adding to the terrifying atmosphere of the dark forest.

"Oh no, it's a whole bunch!" Wang Chengzhou exclaimed in a low voice, his expression changing drastically.

A single bird isn't so scary, but a flock of mutated birds is enough to send chills down your spine.

"Boom!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark shadow swooped down, the wind rushing past. It was so fast it struck one of the team members in a flash. It was a night falcon, a foot long, but its sharp talons grazed the guard's arm the instant they made contact. A muffled groan escaped, but the guard reacted quickly, using the butt of his other rifle as a weapon to smash the night falcon down.

"Watch out!" came several exclamations.

They had all underestimated the night falcon's tenacity. Under the lamplight, the night falcon's blood-red body gleamed, its small eyes bulged, and it emitted a constant, piercing cackle. Its wings flapped powerfully, making it quite frightening. Even when the team member fired a second shot, hitting it and sending a black, vibrant bloom of blood spurting from its body, it paused for a moment, then suddenly soared up and charged at the team member again!

Zhang Guodong spotted the lone night falcon that had appeared on their radar immediately, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with. One of the team members fired a shot into its body, but it still didn't kill it!

Recalling everything that had happened along the way, Zhang Guodong's eyes lit up and he quickly reminded him, "Shoot it in the head! Otherwise, it'll be hard to kill!"

This reminder is important.

The night falcon's second attack was in vain. At such close range, the guard abandoned his gun and fought with his bare hands. With a shout, he grabbed the night falcon and, ignoring the threat of its sharp claws, twisted its neck with both hands, snapping it in two. This injured the night falcon considerably, but it wouldn't kill it; it would probably recover in a while. Hearing Zhang Guodong's reminder, he immediately fired a shot at it, and sure enough, it stopped moving.

The way everyone looked at Zhang Guodong changed. Although Zhi Su had killed several of these mutated beasts, he had only found one of those beads and had fired many shots to subdue them.

This reminder made everyone realize how important this information was.

Wang Chengzhou took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and praised Zhang Guodong, "Good! Everyone remembered what Zhang Guodong said, right? We must shoot these animals in the head, otherwise it will be very difficult to kill them!"

Zhang Guodong chuckled, but felt a jealous gaze, though more of it was a gentle one.

However, Zhang Guodong was not very optimistic; his heart was filled with complex emotions in the face of everything unknown.

The guard killed the night falcon after a struggle. However, a wound appeared on his arm, which was simply bandaged up.

Zhang Guodong moved his lips but didn't say anything.

Captain Tang asked the team member with concern. The team member replied succinctly, "Captain, you're fine, it's just a minor injury!"

At this moment, Li Lizheng instructed one of his team members, "Go and see if that beast has the bead in its head?"

He was concerned about the bead. Clearly, from his second uncle's expression, he knew that the bead was perhaps extremely valuable, not an unexpected find, but related to the mission.

The night falcon was quickly dismembered, much to everyone's surprise. Surprisingly, another bead, almost identical to the previous one, was found. Wang Chengzhou smiled and carefully put the small bead away again.

"Bang!" Just then, several gunshots rang out from ahead, silencing everyone.

The loud, piercing squeals made everyone on the side turn pale instantly.

"What's going on? There are still people ahead?" Wang Chengzhou was shocked. How could there be people hiding at their first destination? This should be their base.

"Mr. Wang's voice is that of a double-barreled shotgun!" Captain Tang said at that moment.

"Are you sure? It's the same group of people we met during the day?" Wang Chengzhou asked, startled.

"Judging from the gunshots, it was indeed several people, most likely the five from earlier in the day. They encountered an attack by a night falcon," Captain Tang said with a strange expression.

Their team is quite lucky; they haven't encountered a large-scale attack yet. But those few people have once again attracted great danger. I wonder if that's tragic.

"Second Uncle, this is our chance! We can't let them kill all the night falcons and take all those beads!" Li Lizheng thought of the beads.

The night falcon's strange behavior worried everyone, but the team member who was injured is now fine, clearly believing that the danger was not much compared to the gains.

Rob!

Wang Chengzhou was also somewhat tempted. After a moment of contemplation, his expression hardened, and he said, "Since that's the case, then we can't stand idly by!"

Everyone's eyes lit up with eagerness at the thought of that bead.

As if related to this rather foolish decision, several howls of wild beasts came from the forest, growing louder as they approached, followed by some mournful roars.

It seemed that many mutated wild beasts were surging towards this place from the sky and the forest.

"Leave four to protect the doctor and the tour guide. The rest of you, prepare for battle!" Wang Chengzhou showed a hint of courage as he gripped his gun more firmly.

A chaotic and bloody battle ensued.

As Zhang Guodong watched Wang Chengzhou and the others move towards the explorers, his blood seemed to boil. Soon, various wild beasts of different sizes appeared within his sensing range. They all had one thing in common: they had lost their minds, and their eyes were filled only with killing intent and bloodlust.

"Damn it!" Zhang Guodong cursed as soon as he saw the eight defenders and himself. Did those bastards Wang Chengzhou want to leave the nine of them to die? There were so many pursuers behind them! He sensed over a dozen of them, large and small, charging towards them, as if they had smelled blood.

"Take care of yourselves. I'm outta here! If you're in trouble, climb a tree; it might be safer that way!" Zhang Guodong wasn't planning on staying any longer.

Being surrounded by these wild beasts he rarely sees would be a real nuisance. He also has eight burdensome companions who might expose his secrets if a fight breaks out.

So he couldn't care less about them.

Zhang Guodong set off immediately, taking off and running and leaping. A few seconds later, he shook off the eight men and began to move at a faster pace, traversing the jungle.

Bang bang bang!

The fact that the forest was no longer quiet but filled with the noise of blood and gunfire at night perfectly explains everything.

Zhang Guodong took the opportunity to enter Taoyuan, and immediately made his move, now carrying a gun and several kilograms of magazines.

"Although there's no need to worry about these wild beasts hurting you, it's best to avoid getting your hands dirty with blood." After checking his magazine, Zhang Guodong swiftly took five steps forward.

On the left, a large, unidentified animal, about the size of a leopard, was lurking in the tree, staring at him.

Zhang Guodong chuckled coldly. This beast wasn't just about reckless rampage; it actually knew how to ambush! Most birds only knew how to kill, but these large mammals on the ground were far more intelligent!

Just like that dead tiger. It actually knew the ambush tactic! Clearly, the leopard-sized creature hiding six meters away is of the same level.

Suddenly, the beast roared and, with a powerful leap, crossed several meters in mid-air to bite Zhang Guodong. Its speed was incredible!

"Good heavens! That loud yell was terrifying, and considering the distance and speed, most people wouldn't even have time to react before it got in their way!"

Zhang Guodong was even faster, flashing several meters away before firing a shot without even aiming. Sensing the massive beast's head, a huge spray of blood erupted.

Boom! Crack!

The beast fell from mid-air and crashed onto the forest floor, breaking many branches, demonstrating its immense power. But it stopped moving after only three seconds.

Zhang Guodong sensed it. The beast's body heat dissipated rapidly, and it quickly died!

This is the first mutated beast that Zhang Guodong has killed! He couldn't help but feel excited.

"Get the bead!" Zhang Guodong's eyes lit up. He took his mountain knife and swung it at the beast's head. An ordinary person would have been stuck by this blow, but Zhang Guodong's strength was extraordinary. He actually cut the beast's head in half and a bead the size of a baby's fist appeared!

Zhang Guodong didn't care about the stench of the brains and black blood plasma; he picked it up and examined it closely.

"Just as the explorer pulled from the dead tiger's head!"

This bead is about the same size as that one, and the dark green lines are also just as intense, so the two beads should be of the same quality level!

So the two small beads obtained from each person should be of lower quality?

Following this logic, Zhang Guodong arrived at the following conclusion.

But what kind of animal is this beast before us? It resembles a leopard but is not; its hind legs are extremely long, and its fur is covered in gray spots! It is not a leopard cat either! And the beads it produces are graded.

Zhang Guodong had no idea that this huge creature resembled a wildcat, except its head was enormous—many times the size of a wildcat's!

It can be seen as an evolved version of the wildcat!

"Sha Zhang Guodong heard some noises and sensed several extra-large rats. Their eyes were fixed on him with menacing glints!"

Utterly astonished!

A mouse? Is it that big?

It was 1.5 feet long. There were probably more than twenty rats appearing in the forest, their speed no less than that of this large creature!

Gunshots rang out in the distance, and the night sky was filled with howls of wild beasts, which were chilling. Clearly, the battle was extremely fierce, but Zhang Guodong's side was not having an easy time either.

He was alone, and these mutated, unknown beasts actually targeted him!

"Whoosh!" Those extra-large rats wouldn't abandon Zhang Guodong. Several of them surged forward, their pounce sending them leaping more than a meter into the air!

Zhang Guodong was furious. These guys actually wanted to gang up on him! But in his eyes, their speed was less than a fifth of his!

"Kill!" Zhang Guodong also went berserk, raising his hand and firing five shots in quick succession!

Those five giant rats fell to the ground dead with a thud, all hit by a single shot! Their foreheads were blown off! With a sensory presence within two hundred meters, Zhang Guodong was equivalent to a crack shot with 100% accuracy!

The bloodshed would attract more attacks from mutated beasts. Zhang Guodong immediately crossed several meters and split their heads open, finding another small bead.

It's a pity that there's only one bead among five mice! But something is better than nothing. After collecting the items, Zhang Guodong quickly left.

Sure enough, as soon as he left, a swarm of rats appeared—more than fifty in total! The stench emanating from these rats was unbearable.

"Chirp"

The rats swarmed forward, and in less than thirty seconds, the large beast and its five companions were completely wiped out! They could actually eat! That meant the beast wasn't dead!

Zhang Guodong, perched in a tree not far away, sensed everything and gasped. No death meant they could reproduce!

Things seem to be more serious than I thought?

"A gust of wind seemed to blow overhead, and a huge feathered bird swooped down. Zhang Guodong cursed, 'So many monsters!' He raised his hand, ready to fire a shot, but to his surprise..."

The large bird of prey suddenly swayed as it flew over his head and then turned around!

"A golden-crowned owl? That's fast!"

Zhang Guodong's heart sank. He was utterly astonished. It was an owl, but how could an owl be so big? Twice the size of an average owl! And on top of its enormous head was a tuft of golden feathers, dazzlingly bright. What surprised him most was its speed—twice as fast as those mice. Even if it couldn't match his own speed, it was at least half his speed!

"Is this still an owl? Damn it!" Zhang Guodong thought the big owl with golden feathers would fly back to attack him again, but things often don't go as planned. It actually flew towards Wang Chengzhou without looking back and didn't come back!

This left Zhang Guodong completely baffled.

Based on the behavior of these wild beasts before, they would have attacked him, or at least, if they were more advanced, they would have used different methods to maneuver and attack. But this golden-feathered owl was clearly not like that.

He could sense the killing intent and danger it was about to attack him, but suddenly it turned and flew away even faster!

At that moment, Zhang Guodong sensed that a breeze was about to pick up in the woods.

This interrupted his thoughts.

A gust of wind blew through the forest. It seemed the forest was becoming even more dangerous; the sounds of the trees could mask the noises of wild animals. At that moment, Zhang Guodong could even hear Wang Chengzhou shouting, "Quickly, find some firewood!"

Wild animals that roam at night are mostly afraid of fire. Zhang Guodong is facing such a predicament, while those others are in far greater danger than he is. In short, the bead is not so easy to obtain.

If it were daytime, that would be more like it!

Thinking of this, Zhang Guodong sprang down from the tree and flew towards Wang Chengzhou. He raised his gun and hit his target with every shot, then quickly picked up the beads.
