20: war

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain.

Commander Xu slowly approached with four warriors who had successfully injected the Gene Serum.

Perhaps the Goddess of Fate was looking upon them favorably; although there was only a 70% success rate, all four injections were successful without exception!

Although these four people's strength couldn't compare to Commander Xu's, they had all reached F-rank.

On their way here, the five of them also trained urgently, becoming somewhat familiar with their superpowers.

"Captain, the situation is not good. The spiritual energy of this spirit fruit has attracted many ferocious beasts. It seems we won't be able to obtain the spirit fruit with just our strength!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Xu pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered everyone to take cover, and then launched a drone, intending to observe the situation first.

The drone flew all the way up the mountain, arriving near the clearing where Lu Yu was.

Lu Yu discovered the drone immediately, a little surprised.

Humans actually came too. Do humans also want to snatch the spirit fruit from these D-rank ferocious beasts?

That's a bit overestimating themselves!

Just at this moment, a burst of spiritual energy shot into the sky, directly shattering the drone.

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. This drone was also unlucky, stopping right above the hidden D-rank ferocious beast. Wasn't that asking for a beating?

With this move, it could no longer hide. The giant wild boare immediately roared in that direction, full of menace.

A moment later, a figure emerged from the dense forest. It was a giant wolf, and what was most special was that there was a moon mark on its forehead!

Lu Yu recognized it instantly.

The Howling Moon Wolf King!

One of the Demon Kings in his previous life, with unfathomable strength!

Lu Yu hadn't expected to encounter another Demon King in this life.

After the Howling Moon Wolf King emerged, he disdainfully glanced at the giant wild boar, then stared at Lu Yu with a wary expression.

It was obvious that the giant wild boar was the weakest, followed by the Howling Moon Wolf King, and Lu Yu's aura was the strongest.

Lu Yu didn't react much. In his opinion, these two were already within his grasp, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

The mountain once again fell into an eerie silence, while Commander Xu at the foot of the mountain had a solemn expression.

He recognized that giant wild boar; it had caused them heavy casualties before, and was clearly a D-rank ferocious beast.

As for Lu Yu, he was an old friend, and his strength was an unknown rank.

With these two ferocious beasts present, how could the five of them be their opponents?

Commander Xu didn't hesitate, directly picking up his communicator and saying:

"Calling for support! A large number of ferocious beasts have gathered here. Estimated at least two D-rank ferocious beasts, over ten E-rank ferocious beasts, and dozens to hundreds of F-rank ferocious beasts. Requesting heavy weapon support, requesting missile support!"

...Lu Yu, being D-rank, had his five senses enhanced multiple times, making them incredibly keen. Coupled with his innate Wind Spiritual Power control, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Commander Xu's words, spoken in a hushed voice at the foot of the mountain, were all heard by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu couldn't help but frown. Although human strength wasn't great, the heavy weapons humans possessed were still very threatening. If they were to indiscriminately carpet-bomb this area with missiles, even he would be in great trouble.

He must find a way to avoid provoking humans before obtaining the spirit fruit.

Just as Lu Yu was thinking, the protective shield around the ganoderma suddenly burst open.

An extremely dense spiritual energy dispersed in all directions.

At this, all the nearby ferocious beasts went completely mad, utterly disregarding the D-rank aura pressure from Lu Yu and the others, and charged towards the mountaintop one by one.

In the clearing at the summit, the giant wild boar and the Howling Moon Wolf King both stared intently at the ganoderma, while also guarding against each other, not daring to make the first move.

A moment later, those ferocious beasts charged up, and the giant wild boar and the Howling Moon Wolf King moved in tacit agreement.

They didn't go to snatch the ganoderma, but instead turned and attacked the ferocious beasts that had charged up near them.

These ferocious beasts ignoring their powerful pressure was a provocation to them.

Of course, while clearing out these E-rank and F-rank ferocious beasts, both ferocious beasts' attention never left the ganoderma.

If any of the three made a move towards the ganoderma, the other two could quickly rush over.

Seeing this, Lu Yu was not in a hurry either, and spread his wings, charging into the pack of ferocious beasts.

Although Lu Yu didn't care about his authority being infringed upon, these were all evolution points, and he absolutely couldn't miss them!

The suppression of D-rank over E-rank and F-rank was overwhelming.

These ferocious beasts, whose minds had been muddled by the ganoderma's spiritual energy, suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of Lu Yu and the other two.

In just a short moment, a pile of corpses was left behind, with half of them dead or injured.

Lu Yu frowned. This wouldn't do. If all these ferocious beasts died, then humans would join in. Fortunately, these ferocious beasts had already sobered up during the slaughter, and were running down the mountain like mad, so there was no need to clear them all out immediately.

So Lu Yu had a flash of inspiration and spread his wings, directly pouncing towards the ganoderma.

This truly stirred up a hornet's nest.

The giant wild boar and the Howling Moon Wolf King abandoned the slaughter of lower-rank ferocious beasts at the first instant, charging straight towards Lu Yu.

Seemingly knowing that Lu Yu was the strongest among the three, the giant wild boar and the Howling Moon Wolf King tacitly joined forces.

A flash of light passed over the giant wild boar's body. Its two tusks instantly doubled in size, gleaming with a metallic cold light, and it charged towards Lu Yu, its speed also doubling.

Skill!

Lu Yu's eyes lit up. He wasn't afraid of the opponent's skills being too strong, only of the opponent having no skills!

At the same time, the Howling Moon Wolf King howled at the sky during his charge. The moon on his forehead erupted with a burst of light, instantly doubling the Howling Moon Wolf King's speed, and his aura also increased significantly.

Heavenly Wolf Howl at the Moon!

Lu Yu recognized this skill. According to rumors, the Howling Moon Wolf King's signature skill was Heavenly Wolf Howl at the Moon, which allowed him to freely boost his own strength after use, capable of directly doubling his strength at most!

However, there was a drawback: the higher the range and degree of increase, the more spiritual power consumed.

It seemed the Howling Moon Wolf King should have boosted his speed and attack power!

One against two, the three instantly collided.

Lu Yu made the first move, directly activating Ice Thorn.

In an instant, dozens of Ice Thorns appeared out of thin air, charging towards the two with extreme speed.

The Howling Moon Wolf King was extremely fast, using his speed advantage to dodge left and right, avoiding most of the Ice Thorns. Finally, unable to dodge any longer, he was hit by the last Ice Thorn, instantly freezing in place.

However, the Howling Moon Wolf King was indeed worthy of being a Demon King. The moment he was frozen, a flash of light passed over his body, and he broke free from the frozen state.

But even that moment was enough!

On the other side, the giant wild boar, unable to dodge at all, directly took Lu Yu's Ice Thorn head-on. Not only did he become heavily wounded, but he was also passively frozen in place, unable to move.

Lu Yu saw the opportunity and made a decisive move.

Blade Assault!

Lu Yu's figure instantly disappeared, reappearing in front of the giant wild boar. The moment the freezing effect on his body was lifted, five attacks with 200% attack power instantly struck him.

"Roar—"

The giant wild boar instantly let out a mournful cry. At this moment, a hole had been torn open in his chest, and his internal organs flowed out through this large hole.

One move, and he was already severely wounded!
