You You immediately turned and ran towards the direction where the meteorite had fallen. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt exceptionally light and ran several hundred meters in no time. Even more strangely, her senses seemed to have suddenly been magnified hundreds of times. Although she couldn't see with her eyes, she could sense everything that was dozens of miles away in her mind.
They even felt an unusual tremor, not the earth-shaking tremor from the meteorite impact. This shaking was noticeably milder, but it had an indescribable rhythm, like it was coming in waves. In the distance, they could hear a rumbling sound, as if... a large group of things were approaching. They also heard a series of roars, not loud because of the distance, but they rose and fell continuously.
She stopped instinctively, and looking closely, she saw a dense mass of dark shadows rushing towards her in the distance. Although they were very far away, she could inexplicably make them out clearly. They were bizarre creatures, some as tall as mountains, others in swarms of thousands, each one unlike anything she had ever seen before, each more ferocious and terrifying than the last. And without exception, they were all charging madly towards her.
Youyou's eyes widened in shock; what... what the hell was this?!
(⊙_⊙)
Shock, fear, panic... a multitude of emotions surged into her heart. She gasped, and all her emotions exploded, converging into a single thought.
Run!
She made a snap decision, turned around, and ran as fast as she could. But even so, the horde of monsters drew ever closer.
Youyou, feeling a bit dizzy, desperately tried to calm herself down. Perhaps a crisis really could bring out a person's potential. As a science student, her instincts kicked in, and she started quickly calculating the probability of the two sides meeting. Based on their speed and distance, it would take at least forty minutes before they met. As long as she kept running in her current direction and created enough distance, she might be able to escape if nothing unexpected happened.
Of course, the key is—no surprises!
Unexpectedly... her heightened senses suddenly detected the presence of a person a few miles to her right.
She had been wandering in the forest for two hours without encountering anyone, but now she had! Moreover, the other person remained stationary, seemingly unaware that a large wave of monsters was approaching.
What are these people doing? Are they staying there to deliver vegetables?
The more she looked, the more anxious she became. As the horde of monsters drew closer, she gritted her teeth and, damn it!, turned around and charged in that direction.
————
Not far away.
A small team of seven was surrounding a giant, green-spotted beast that was over two meters tall. They were armed with weapons, including knives, swords, and various ropes and other tools, and each of them looked tense and ready. Some of them were already injured, but they still stubbornly confronted the beast.
"Damn it, it's a Tier 3 Green Spotted Beast!" Liu Qing cursed under his breath, a hint of panic in his eyes. He glanced at the man on his right and said in a deep voice, "Boss, what do we do? This guy is too difficult to deal with."
"Don't get distracted!" Lin Feng snapped sternly, his brows furrowed as he said in a deep voice, "Third-tier demonic beasts are tough to deal with, but we outnumber them, so we still have a chance to win. Be careful to avoid its tail; it's poisonous. Its weak point is its abdomen." Lin Feng hadn't expected to encounter a third-tier demonic beast on the outskirts of the forest. A third-tier demonic beast was indeed challenging for their team, but it wasn't unwinnable.
Everyone's expressions tightened even more as they intently watched the giant beast's every move. Whenever the green-spotted beast tried to break free, they used their weapons to force it back, thereby exhausting its stamina and attempting to wear it down.
The green-spotted beast seemed to have gotten angry from being surrounded, and with the occasional sneak attacks, it was already covered in wounds. With a roar, it charged to the right.
"Deng Sheng, Wang Xiao, it's coming towards you! Hold it back!" Liu Qing shouted a reminder. The two immediately stepped forward, trying to force the monster back into the encirclement as before.
Whether it was sensing their intentions or not, this time the monster did not retreat, but instead charged even more fiercely, recklessly heading towards one of them and biting the other's left arm.
"Wang Xiao!" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise. He immediately stepped forward and unleashed a fine gust of sword wind, which struck the green-spotted beast directly in the eye, causing it to spurt out blood instantly.
roar……
The monster let out a miserable cry, instinctively releasing its grip and writhing on the ground in agony. But the next moment, flames suddenly burst forth from its body, instantly engulfing it completely, turning the grass beneath it into scorched earth.
"A...mutated monster!" Liu Qing exclaimed in disbelief.
The mutated green-spotted beast was comparable to a fourth-tier cultivator, something even Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to handle, and they weren't even cultivators. The attacking group turned pale, their hearts sinking to the bottom, and they unconsciously retreated.
The flames on the monster's body grew stronger and stronger, and it looked like they were about to spread towards them.
"Hold onto your fire-avoidance talismans and don't panic!" Lin Feng shouted, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Boss... Boss..." Wang Xiao, already covered in blood from being bitten, looked at Lin Feng, the leader, his eyes filled with the fear of death. A fourth-tier mutated demon beast—besides their leader, probably none of them could withstand a single blow from it. But even if they ran now, it was too late!
"Everyone, watch my hand gesture and retreat together to avoid the demonic fire on its body!" Lin Feng naturally knew this as well. Now, this demonic beast was not only difficult to deal with, but it was also uncertain whether they could escape. "The Green Spotted Beast has a poor sense of smell, and it is blind due to its injured eyes. As long as we move lightly enough, we can retreat."
With a sense of relief, everyone regained some composure and quickly took out fire-avoidance talismans, slowly retreating.
The monster on the ground stopped rolling around, letting out angry roars and frantically shaking its head, trying to find the person who had hurt it. But it couldn't see them, couldn't find them at all, and just kept circling around like a headless fly.
it works!
The crowd was overjoyed, their hope for survival rekindled. They stared intently at Lin Feng's gestures, taking a small step back with each movement, watching as they moved further and further away from the monster.
Suddenly, a white figure rushed out from the woods on the left, instantly breaking the balance.
"You... get out of here!" Youyou shouted as she rushed over.
The people who were retreating turned their heads to look over, and the next moment everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened as they looked at You You who had suddenly rushed out, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed some kind of miracle.
Female... female! ! ! !
How is that possible?!
