Chapter 9 (1/2)

“Run! Hurry!” Li Yaoyao kept repeating these words in her mind as if to give herself some strength.

But as energy quickly drained from her body, she started to slow down. From the very beginning, she was not a physically fit Ancient Warrior.

In front of her, w.a.n.g Kai, Jiang Wenxuan, and Yuhai’s silhouette began to blur into the distance.

They were way faster and much further ahead of her. They were running for their fragile lives, not daring even to look back.

Just when Li Yaoyao was about to give up, a wispy voice called out, “Yaoyao! Run! I will distract them!”

“Mengmeng!” Li Yaoyao turned around and saw that Lu Meng had stopped running, her pet.i.te 1.5-meter frame suddenly looked really tall.

Lu Meng opened the s.p.a.ce receptacle, and a machine fell out, landing on the ground with a loud boom.

Click! Clack! Click! Clack!

The gears on the machine moved, a cold sheen reflecting off its surface under the silvery glow of the moonlight.

The T9 a.s.sault tower had been hastily a.s.sembled, equipped with a large gattling gun with 9 muzzles the size of a grinding wheels armed with a honeycomb of bullets.

Pow! pow! pow! pow! pow! pow! pow!

Bullets whizzed by, and bright muzzle flashes woke the dark wilderness.

In the shadows of the night, a red radiance let out a long, high-pitched cry. Clearly, scary weaponry like this was bound to inflict some severe damage on the enemy.

Qin Feng, hoping to take advantage of the darkness to stay out of sight, cursed under his breath as he darted to a large tree behind him to avoid getting caught in the middle of a firefight.

Qin Feng recognized that the people being chased were the five students he’d encountered earlier today.

He could not believe that they would have such bad luck. Merely too ostentatious were they, perhaps? How did they manage to draw a pack of jackals on their first night here?!

But it was just a regular ol’ jackal pack though. With the girl named Meng Meng’s T9 a.s.sault tower, it should be a reasonably easy task to get rid of them.

“That nouveau riche!” Qin Feng was observing Lu Meng in the darkness. A big machine like that needed to be transported by a tactical van. It was supposed to be a team machine that cost over 2 million for one, not mentioning it required a vast amount of ammunition.

But, that was nothing compared to the s.p.a.ce receptacle whereby one cubic meter was worth a good 5 million. The fact that she was able to fit a T9 a.s.sault tower inside meant that it was surely upwards of one cubic meter.

Qin Feng was deciding on whether he should wait for them to die before taking it for himself when a giant creature suddenly came into view.

The monster was 2 meters tall; its giant body was shaped like an ordinary, non-mutated bull. However, this one had a coal-black hide, bloodshot eyes, and sharp snow-white fangs that glinted in the night.

“Beast-general tier! Neapolitan Mastiff!” exclaimed Qin Feng when he saw the creature’s true form and immediately recognized it.

There were always some species of powerful beasts among the common ultra beasts. Labeled differently according to their strength, their kind saw beast soldiers, beast generals, and the beast kings among their hierarchy.

Beast soldiers were like the elites among humans and, with effort, could be easily killed.

But beast generals, on the other hand, were commanders among the monsters.

This Neapolitan Mastiff had already reached a beast-general tier. No wonder these people were hysterical.

The a.s.sault tower spat out bullets like a hurricane, yet it was unable to inflict any damage on the creature – the beast was too fast!

Whoos.h.!.+

The Neapolitan Mastiff was no less intelligent than a human, quickly making its way behind Lu Meng to evade the bullets and simultaneously reaching out its claws towards Lu Meng.

“NO!” Li Yaoyao screamed.

The elements in the environment vibrated violently, and a ripple of water appeared, forming a wall of water behind Lu Meng. The hound’s sharp claws tore through the fragile protection, slicing down his back with great fury!

Screeeeeech!

Lu Meng’s jacket was torn, revealing a thin silver garment underneath, which was apparently very strong as it seemed to be intact, allowing it to protect its wearer.
