The smelly roar of the beasts was deafening. Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of mutant beasts that surrounded them. A layer of frost crept up his face.
The lowest level of these mutant beasts was level three, and there were also many level four and five monsters mixed in with them. Their eyes flashed with greed and ferocity, staring at them as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.
"Damn it, it's a trap!" Mou Xuan cursed in his heart. He should have thought that they couldn't be the only ones who knew the news of the opening of the ruins.
People from other forces must be watching in secret, or even... setting a trap.
Chen Yao hid behind him, her small hands tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, her knuckles turning white.
Mou Xuan could feel her slight trembling, but he did not turn back to comfort her. But he had to give her this sense of security!
"Mr. Lu, analyze the situation." Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over the restless herd of beasts.
The man called Old Lu is the chief tactician of the Lu Alliance, an old man with gray hair but a sharp gaze.
He pushed his glasses up and said thoughtfully, "The number of beasts is huge, but their actions are unusually unified. It doesn't look like an ordinary beast tide, but more like..."
"Someone is in charge." Mou Xuan took over his words, with a colder light in his eyes.
Old Lu nodded: "That's right, and the mutant beast that commands them is definitely not of low level! I estimate that it is at least level six!"
Sixth level mutant beast!
Everyone present was startled, that was an existence comparable to a seventh-level human mutant!
"We must get rid of the mutant beast in charge first!" Mou Xuan said firmly, "Otherwise we will be exhausted to death here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed out from the crowd.
"Boss Mou, I'll go!" The speaker was Cui Li, the chief psychic of the Cui Alliance.
He was of great build, with muscular body and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
His special ability is enhanced strength, and he has extremely strong explosive power in close combat.
"Okay! Cui Li, be careful!" Mou Xuan patted Cui Li's shoulder heavily. He knew Cui Li's strength, but this sixth-order mutant beast was no ordinary creature. It would be extremely dangerous to go there.
"Don't worry, Boss Mou! I will definitely kill that beast!" Cui Li grinned, revealing his white teeth, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
He took a deep breath, exerted force with his legs, and shot towards the herd of beasts like an arrow.
"Everyone else, follow me to build defensive fortifications! Mr. Lu, take command!" Mou Xuan shouted loudly, and at the same time, a sharp ice blade condensed in his hand.
Mr. Lu quickly directed everyone to build simple fortifications using the remaining buildings and boulders from the ruins.
Time is running out and every second is precious.
The roars of the beasts were getting closer and closer, shaking the ground slightly.
Mou Xuan stood on a high place, his eyes fixed on Cui Li.
He saw Cui Li rampaging through the herd of beasts like a heavy tank, with blood and flesh flying wherever he passed.
Those low-level mutant beasts were unable to stop him at all and were torn apart easily by him.
But as he went deeper and deeper into the herd, the mutant beasts that blocked his way became stronger and stronger, and his speed gradually slowed down.
Mou Xuan's heart was in his throat. He stared intently at the depths of the beast herd, where a powerful aura was slowly awakening.
That is the sixth-order mutant beast!
The herd of animals suddenly became agitated and began to roll around like boiling water.
Mou Xuan's heart suddenly shrank. He knew that the sixth-level mutant beast was about to appear!
A suffocating pressure spread out from the depths of the beast herd, as if a mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Even through the crowds of beasts, Mou Xuan could still feel the terrifying power that made him feel terrified.
Suddenly, a deafening roar of beasts resounded through the heaven and earth, and a huge figure slowly walked out from the herd.
It was a giant bear of enormous size, covered with thick black scales, and its scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Its appearance made the surrounding mutant beasts tremble, crawl on the ground, and dare not look up.
Cui Li stopped and stared at the giant bear with burning eyes. There was no fear in his eyes, only a burning desire to fight.
He knew that this would be a battle of life and death!
He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the giant axe in his hand, slowly raised it, and pointed it at the giant bear.
A powerful force burst out from his body, distorting the air around him.
“Come on, beast!” Cui Li roared, and rushed towards the giant bear like a tiger rushing down the mountain…
The mutant beasts were defeated and retreated like a tide, leaving only broken limbs and a pungent smell of blood on the ground.
Mou Xuan was leaning on a blood-stained Tang sword, breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.
Sweat mixed with blood outlined hideous lines on his angular face.
Before the joy of victory had time to spread in my heart, a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning into the distance.
Sure enough, those so-called "allies", the leaders of other forces, did not leave!
They stood on high places, like vultures, gazing at the battlefield greedily and indifferently, with chilling sneers on their lips.
"What do they want to do?" someone in the team asked in a low voice, with a tone full of anxiety.
Mou Xuan didn't answer, but his tightly gripped knife handle and tense muscles said it all.
He knew that the real crisis might have just begun.
There is no way those people are lurking here just to watch the show.
Like poisonous snakes, they lurk in the shadows, waiting to deliver the fatal blow.
