"Okay, got it."
Qin Jinnian soon received the message from Li Yuqi.
Now that the 'Dawn Order' is in place, the next step of action is about to begin.
This is the first time the leader has used the Dawn Order, and it is targeting the evil church. This "mission" cannot be messed up...
Qin Jinnian thought with his eyes flashing, then he contacted many clones and told them that they could start taking action.
…
…
The next day.
Canglan City, outside the Iron Dome.
There are a large number of ruins in the wilderness, which were built by humans five hundred years ago.
When the abyss first descended, humans retreated step by step under the pressure of monsters and weirdness, and had no choice but to abandon many cities.
Later, super-powered people and super-warriors appeared, and more and more powerful humans gradually maintained their decline and formed a confrontation with monsters and beasts...
But humans had no way to counterattack these occupied cities... First, the cities were too severely damaged, and many buildings were occupied by monsters, and even became monster nests. Reoccupying them would require too much manpower and resources, and it would be too dangerous.
Secondly, a shallow abyss was discovered, and a large amount of iron ore was excavated from it. Humans came up with the idea of the "Iron Dome"... and finally decided to abandon the previous city.
After all, how can it be faster and more convenient to 'rebuild' a city on ruins than to 'build a new one'?
And so, these abandoned cities were left in the wilderness.
After hundreds of years of exposure to wind and sun, coupled with the destruction of monsters, many cities have completely disappeared. Even if there are some that remain, there are only some broken walls and ruins...
These broken walls and ruins were the nests of monsters for a long time before... After all, although monsters have no intelligence, they still have instincts. If there is a place like this that is sheltered from the wind and rain, they will instinctively occupy it.
However, as time went by, more and more powerful people appeared among the human folk, especially with the emergence of hunting teams. Slowly, at least in the ruins near the Iron Dome, there were basically no monster nests... some had already been killed.
Instead, this place became a temporary resting place for the hunting team...
This was the home of humans five hundred years ago, and later became a monster's lair. But five hundred years later, human hunters also made a temporary rest here... This pecking and drinking is quite interesting if you think about it carefully.
In a house in the ruins, Wang Li rubbed his red eyes, feeling sleepy. He pulled himself together, fumbled in his jacket pocket, and finally pulled out a wrinkled cigarette box. He carefully took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff.
I looked in the box again and there looked to be about four or five cigarettes left.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and suddenly said, "It's been thirteen days, and the harvest is not bad... Let's go back first. We can't hold on any longer."
His teammate, whose eyes were also bloodshot, yawned when he heard this, raised his face from the sniper lens, and found Wang Li smoking. He immediately glared at him: "Damn, you want to eat alone, right? Give me one."
"Mad, you smoked too fast, why do you blame me?"
Wang Li rolled his eyes at his teammates, but still took out one and threw it to them, saying, "That's all I have left. I only have three..."
His teammate rolled his eyes at him, then stood up from his prone position, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette swiftly, and took a long puff. "Well, I can't stand it anymore. Let's talk to the boss when he comes back."
Wang Li nodded when he heard this, took another puff of his cigarette, and looked out at the wilderness through the small window next to him.
"By the way, how much money have you saved now? How much is left?"
The teammate suddenly asked curiously.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "It's still a long way off, still halfway...how about you?"
"Hey, I'm almost there. This batch of goods should be enough."
The teammates chuckled.
"Fuck, you're so stingy? ... No wonder you always smoke my cigarettes?"
Wang Li’s eyes widened.
The teammate laughed: "Save as much as you can, that's how we save money...Okay, okay, I'll be responsible for the cigarettes when we go out, okay?"
Wang Li rolled his eyes at him, and after a moment, he was a little envious: "What about the future? You are about to advance to level 5. Are you going to kill level 3 monsters in the future? Sigh, the materials for level 5 advancement... are too expensive. Anyway... congratulations in advance."
Wang Li's feelings were clearly shared by his teammates. He sighed, "Yeah... it's too expensive. The fifth-level advanced materials cost more than 1 billion yuan, and I saved them for eight years! The sixth-level ones are not even available for sale, and I have to try my luck in some big black markets... Alas, it's too difficult for ordinary people to become stronger."
Wang Li sighed.
Yes, it is very difficult for ordinary people to become strong.
The biggest problem is that the abyss materials are too expensive.
The only official channel that sells it is the Super Martial Alliance, and they only sell those at level 5 or below.
Abyss materials after the sixth level can only be obtained by chance, and may sometimes be auctioned at some large black market auction houses.
But it’s hard to say what the price will be when auctioning this thing…
I heard that the last time sixth-level materials were sold on the black market, they were directly sold for more than 6 billion!
This is an astronomical figure for Wang Li.
Hunters' income is very high compared to ordinary people. They can often earn millions from a single trip.
But to collect 100 million, it would take about 100 times.
More than a week at a time, go back and repair the whole week...
Even if you try your best, you can only do it three times a month at most.
One hundred times, that would be close to forty to fifty months...
This can only earn 100 million!
To earn 1 billion yuan, it will take at least eight or nine years.
This is only fifth-level material.
Although after the cultivation level is raised to the fifth level, the level of the monsters killed will also increase accordingly, and the income will also increase several times...but how easy is it to save more than 6 billion? And all this is based on the premise that everything goes well and there is no injury.
But the wilderness is full of dangers, and no one knows when a monster of what rank might suddenly descend.
If a more vicious one comes... like the situation of the sixth-level 'Thunder Eagle' a few years ago... then he will die instantly.
This is how ordinary people become stronger.
Every step is dangerous, crisis-ridden and full of difficulties.
Even if you are extremely lucky and everything goes well...it will still take a long time.
But, there is no way.
After all, geniuses and rich second-generations are a minority, and the vast majority are just ordinary people.
The rule of the world is... the strong take all.
There is a saying that goes, one step faster, all steps faster.
The same applies to spiritual practice.
If you are a genius and show outstanding talent in school, you can grow rapidly with the help of the free resources provided by the school.
After you leave school, you will be noticed by people from capital or government, and they will provide you with various resources to help you become stronger quickly...
Ordinary people and geniuses are destined to be in different worlds during their time in school.
Wang Li was also a little moved by his teammates' sighs. He was thinking...
Boom!!! Suddenly, a huge roar sounded, and the two people who were sighing were startled and their faces changed.
The teammates quickly lay on the ground, raised their sniper rifles and aimed at the direction where the loud noise came from.
Wang Li also quickly looked in that direction.
Then I saw a lot of dust rising from the ruins of the city not far away, as if a small building had collapsed.
But in front of the dust curtain, a figure was running quickly and frantically.
Wang Li was still in a daze when he saw this figure, but his teammates had already exclaimed: "It's the boss!... Damn, there's the 'Iron Bull Monster' behind him!"
Wang Li's expression changed drastically: "Iron Bull Monster?!"
The Iron Bull Beast is a fifth-level monster. It is over three meters tall and is a bull-shaped monster covered with steel-like armor. It has infinite strength and is extremely fast. It is one of the most terrifying monsters around.
"How did we alarm the Iron Bull Monster?"
Wang Li's face changed drastically. He looked carefully and immediately saw a huge figure rushing out from the dust.
It was indeed a huge bull monster, nine meters tall, as big as a small building, with three sharp horns on its head, and its entire body seemed to be covered with a layer of steel armor.
At this moment, its huge eyes were red, full of violence and ferocity, and it was obviously angry.
When Wang Li took a breath, an urgent voice came from outside: "Li Lang! Zhao Kui!"
Soon after this sound was heard, a huge roar came from the building opposite.
The next moment, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking wind, a flash of fire attacked the iron bull monster behind the running figure.
Ding! The fire hit the bull monster's third horn between its eyebrows and shattered it instantly.
Wang Li knew that it was his teammates on the opposite side who fired the shot.
At the same time, his teammates beside him also raised their sniper rifles, their eyes sharp, and the next moment they pulled the trigger hard. With a roar, the bullet flew out and hit the iron bull monster again.
"Moo!!!"
The Iron Bull Monster was attacked continuously and immediately let out an angry roar. The moo was like a dull thunder rolling, but at a faster speed.
"Damn it! The Iron Bull Monster's defense is too high, we can't break it!"
Teammate Li Lang cursed inwardly.
"Why did the boss provoke this scary guy?"
He said anxiously and angrily.
The Iron Bull Monster is a fifth-level monster...their boss is also a fifth-level super warrior.
But surprisingly... an ordinary fifth-level super warrior cannot defeat a monster of the same level.
Monsters’ physique and vitality are much stronger than humans’… This is why Wang Li and his companions are all fourth-level super warriors, but they mostly hunt third-level monsters.
Only in this way can safety be guaranteed.
But now the boss has provoked a fifth-level monster, putting them in great danger.
But it was impossible to escape. The boss was being hunted. Their team had been together for many years. Some had been together for more than ten years, and some had been together for five or six years. They had experienced countless life and death situations together and had built up a very strong bond. The boss usually took good care of them. How could he just turn around and run away at this time? Wang Li gritted his teeth and drew out the sword beside him: "It's a level five monster. We may be able to kill it together!... Let's go!"
After saying that, he leaped out of the window with a knife in hand.
At the same time, three figures jumped out from the opposite house. After looking at each other, they quickly joined the rushing figure.
Seeing this scene, the running figure also breathed a sigh of relief... He couldn't defeat it alone, but if there were a few more people to hold it back, it would not be impossible to defeat the same fifth-level Iron Bull Monster.
Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Wang Li, Zhao Kui, Liu Dong, the three of you will focus on attacking the left side and guerrilla warfare in the lower body to slow it down first!"
"Li Lang, find a chance to blind its eyes!"
"Leave it to me!"
He took command quickly and swiftly.
Wang Li and his teammates responded and rushed to the left according to the boss's command.
At the same time, the roar sounded again, and another spark of fire exploded in the Iron Bull Monster's eyes... but it still failed to break the defense, causing the Iron Bull Monster to roar angrily again.
Bang!!! Suddenly, a huge iron rod hit the roaring Iron Bull Monster's left front knee hard.
"Pour it down for me!!!"
With a roar, the iron rod smashed down fiercely. There was a psychic glow on the rod, which obviously showed that super weapons were used.
BANG!!! With a loud bang, the Iron Bull Monster roared again.
Its defense was very strong, but the stick was hit with great force and hit a relatively fragile joint, causing the Iron Bull Monster to stagger a few steps in pain and its speed slowed down.
The Iron Bull Monster bent its head in anger, and its huge horns, which were like scimitars to humans, rushed straight towards the person who hit its joints.
But the boss said very clearly that it was guerrilla warfare, so after the attack, this man had already jumped back violently, and the attack failed.
Wang Li had already approached and slashed at its foot with his knife again.
Clang! Sparks flew when the blade and the cowhide collided. The Iron Bull Monster screamed again, and Wang Li quickly stepped back.
After two consecutive hits, the iron bull monster was finally stopped completely. It roared, and its entire body stood up. Its huge body, which was already nine meters tall, suddenly became more than ten meters tall.
The boss had already turned around at this moment, drew out the long sword from his waist with his backhand, rushed up like lightning, and then jumped up. He tapped the iron bull monster's body several times with his footsteps, jumped to the top of its head, and directly used a powerful move to split Huashan, heading straight for its left eye.
The Iron Ox Beast was roaring, and the knife chopped it down fiercely.
It subconsciously closed its eyes, but the next moment, it broke through with a "puff".
Blood flowed out.
After all, it was a strong man of the same level as it who took action.
"Moo!!!"
This time, it was completely enraged. After roaring angrily, it twisted its head wildly, trying to hit the people around it.
boom!!
At the same time, Li Lang also seized the opportunity and fired a shot.
The bullet hit the Iron Bull Monster's intact left eye directly.
puff!!
No matter how strong the Iron Bull Monster's defense was, its eyeballs could not withstand the sniper rifle and their eyeballs exploded instantly.
It let out a shrill scream, and after its hooves landed on the ground, it rammed the surroundings frantically, trying to attack the people around it with its horns.
Wang Li and others were extremely agile and kept retreating.
Many people even showed joy on their faces.
"Okay, it's blind! Be careful! Today, maybe we can kill this iron bull monster, then we'll make a lot of money on this trip!"
The boss shouted with his eyes brightened upon seeing this.
He chopped off the opponent's right eye with a knife, and Li Lang shot him, destroying his left eye.
The other party is now blind.
Give them a chance.
The flesh and blood of a fifth-level monster is much more expensive than that of a third-level monster, almost a hundred times the price.
If they could successfully hunt down a fifth-level monster, it would be almost equivalent to their income for more than half a year!
Wang Li and others' eyes also lit up.
Just like that, under the command of the boss, they fought and retreated, specifically attacking the Iron Bull Monster's weak points in defense... because the Iron Bull Monster was already blind and had no way to defend itself.
Gradually, the Iron Bull Monster began to stagger.
Although a large amount of light came out of its body and began to repair its injuries... but injuries like bursting eyeballs could not be repaired immediately.
There is a limit to the strength of a fifth-order monster. Even the red priests of the Undead Evil Church are trying to grow a new body after their heads are chopped off.
The vitality of a fifth-level monster is still within an acceptable range... at least its organs and limbs cannot recover so quickly.
The continuous damage finally made the Iron Bull Monster a little scared. After a few more fruitless attacks, it turned around and ran outside.
"It ran away first, chase it!"
The boss shouted immediately.
A group of people hurriedly chased after him.
Continue to attack while chasing.
Slowly, white bones could be seen at the joints of the Iron Bull Monster's body. It could no longer support itself and fell to the ground with a bang.
The boss, Wang Li and the others all showed excitement on their faces. This time, maybe they could really kill a fifth-level monster...
Seeing that the Iron Bull monster was getting weaker and weaker, the boss felt that the time was almost right. He roared, suddenly jumped high, and emitted a strong psychic light. He aimed the sword in his hand at the Iron Bull's exploded left eye socket, intending to pierce the opponent's brain directly through the wound and kill it.
But at this moment...
"Boss!!!! Be careful!!!"
Suddenly, a hoarse scream was heard.
Before the boss could come to his senses, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air coming from high up in the sky behind him.
"Oops!!"
The boss's face suddenly changed drastically, but before he could make the next move, a sudden strong wind blew past, and the boss only felt a heat on his neck. Finally, he saw a black figure flash by the corner of his eye. Then, his vision began to spin rapidly and crazily...
"I, am dead?"
A murmur of disbelief emerged in his mind.
Then, the whole world suddenly fell into darkness...
Boom! The head and body fell to the ground separately.
“Boss!!!!”
Wang Li and the others screamed in shock, but then they were stunned, looking at the boss whose head and body were separated, and they were all stunned...
Obviously, the Iron Bull Monster was about to die, and this was obviously a huge fortune, so why...
They looked up in bewilderment, and then saw a black figure in the distance, flapping its wings, with a ferocious and cruel gaze falling on them...
That is...
"Black Feather Eagle!"
The hearts of Wang Li and others seemed to stop beating and their eyes widened.
Black-feathered eagle, avian monster…grade…grade five.
And in this wilderness, what hunters least want to encounter is... bird monsters!
Because they...
Too fast! Whoosh!!
A shadow flashed in the perspective, and Wang Li was the first to come to his senses. He suddenly shouted angrily: "Zhao Kui, be careful!!"
The man who had used the stick just now had already started to dodge and even jumped up.
But the next moment, the black eagle's iron-like feathers had already scratched his waist.
Plop…
The man fell to the ground in two pieces.
The lower body legs are still kicking.
The upper half of his body widened his eyes, supported himself with both hands, and stared blankly at his lower body...
The contents of his stomach, along with the blood, flowed all over the floor.
He looked at the black-feathered eagle in despair, then turned to look at Wang Li.
He held out his hand...
“Help…Help…”
The 'I' hadn't spoken yet.
Snap!
His head was crushed by a pair of huge iron claws.
The black-feathered eagle is back again.
It stood on the head of half its body, turned its neck, and stared at Wang Li with its sharp eyes.
Wang Li's mind went blank.
"escape!!!"
The teammates shouted at the top of their lungs and rushed madly into the ruined house beside them.
But Wang Li knew that he couldn't escape.
Because he has been targeted by the Black-Feathered Eagle.
Swoosh! A black shadow flashed, and Wang Li was in despair.
He knew he was going to die...
There's no way to escape.
“Wang Li!!!”
Li Lang's voice sounded in the distance, and his figure was full of panic.
Wang Li felt as if time had slowed down all of a sudden.
He could clearly see the black-feathered eagle flying towards him rapidly, its sharp eyes fixed on him, its claws like iron hooks already opened, ready to crush him to death just as it had crushed Zhao Kui.
But his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead and he couldn't move at all.
It seemed that he was about to follow in Zhao Kui's footsteps.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded inexplicably.
The next moment, when his head was about to be grabbed...
A layer of green light suddenly surged out and hit the black-feathered eagle in the blink of an eye.
No, not a collision...
But...
Run through!
“Screech!!”
With a shrill scream, the black-feathered eagle's body was blown away by the huge force.
Blood flowed from its neck.
It struggled a few times on the ground, but the green light had already cut off most of its neck. In the end, its head tilted and it died completely...
The sudden change left Wang Li confused.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He turned around quickly and saw... a few people appeared in the sky behind him at some point.
There were six of them in total, all of them were emitting green light, and they were suspended in the air...
Wang Li blinked his eyes, then took a breath...
This is……
Superpowers? Moreover, there are six of them...
A wind-type superpower? Wang Li felt that his brain was not enough for a moment.
When did... the superpowers also appear in groups? But he reacted quickly, turned around, and shouted gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for saving my life!"
One of the men looked down at him, then sighed and shook his head: "It was just the right time. But unfortunately, it's still a little late..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the bodies of the boss and Zhao Kui, and finally said to Wang Li: "I won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, he floated and flew away.
The few people behind him glanced down with indifferent expressions and followed without saying a word.
Wang Li was a little confused and blinked his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, these six strange super-powered people disappeared from their sight...
"Is that... a superpower?"
Li Lang appeared beside Wang Li at some point, and murmured in shock.
Wang Li then came to his senses, retracted his gaze and nodded.
Then, he looked at the bodies of the boss and Zhao Kui.
The remaining comrades also came over and looked at the bodies of the boss and Zhao Kui. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little depressing and dull.
"I didn't expect that the boss and the others..." Li Lang murmured.
After a long time, Wang Li took a deep breath.
"Hunters die at the hands of their prey. This is fate. There is nothing much to say... Rest in peace."
He said in a low voice.
Everyone was silent, and finally nodded slightly.
Processing...
But while Wang Li was busy, he was still thinking, who are those six superpower bosses ?
What Wang Li didn't know was that on this day, some teams of super warriors in different wilderness areas surrounding the Iron Dome of Canglan City had more or less seen some super-powered people.
Some of them were like Wang Li, who was saved by these superpowers when they were attacked by monsters, but some of them just passed by quietly.
These super-powered people include both men and women, old and young, and their appearances are completely different.
But they all have one thing in common...
That is, their temperaments all seem to be extremely indifferent...
