24: Endless ferocious beasts!
“Additionally, this planet harbors multiple Rank 10 Vicious Beasts, whose strength is equivalent to a Peak Body Tempering Realm Stage 10 practitioner. Killing each one will grant 200,000 points!”
“Aside from earning points by killing Vicious Beasts, you can also acquire a portion of other examinees’ points by seizing their wristbands.”
“At the same time, the wristbands will display the locations of Vicious Beasts, but not the positions of other examinees.”
The information contained in these few sentences was substantial.
Lin Wu immediately understood.
In this competition,
to achieve good results, one needed to kill Vicious Beasts and seize points from others.
However, to secure the top position, one had to kill those Rank 10 Vicious Beasts.
And after killing Rank 10 Vicious Beasts, the biggest challenge would become protecting one’s wristband to prevent it from being stolen.
“That’s basically all the information. Airdrops will begin in ten minutes. If you wish to form a team, it’s best to board the same drop pod. The spaceship will return to pick you up in three days!”
After speaking, the staff members withdrew.
Through the spaceship’s porthole, the yellowish-brown planet was still visible.
Everyone began to discuss animatedly.
“Although this planet isn’t much larger than the moon, it’s teeming with so many Vicious Beasts.”
“If I recall correctly, this planet is called the Dark Allure Planet, isn’t it? Many of its Vicious Beasts are elemental, and because the gravity is higher than on Blue Star, their strength is astonishingly great!”
Where there was fear, there was also excitement.
Lin Wu remained silent.
As time passed, ten minutes went by, and the examinees orderly proceeded to the drop pods.
Since Lin Wu hadn't joined any group, he descended alone.
These drop pods landed completely randomly, without any pattern.
Lin Wu entered the drop pod, listening to the machine’s countdown.
“Airdrop initiated!”
As the announcement began,
Lin Wu felt a sense of weightlessness.
“Currently traversing the atmosphere. Examinees, please prepare…”
“Successfully traversed the atmosphere. Decelerating. Parachute deployed. Imminent ground landing!”
Bang!
Then the hatch opened.
Lin Wu immediately retrieved his Blood Flame Spear.
A foul, fishy odor wafted over.
Due to its ecosystem, this planet was constantly permeated by a stench.
At the same time, several other drop pods landed near Lin Wu, though at some distance.
As soon as Lin Wu stepped out of the hatch, several Vicious Beasts lunged at him!
They were only Rank 1 Vicious Beasts.
Lin Wu used his Spirit to control a stone at will, instantly smashing the heads of these Vicious Beasts.
At this moment, his wristband also changed; killing three Rank 1 Vicious Beasts earned him three hundred points.
Lin Wu also took the opportunity to absorb some Qi and blood.
【You gained 40 units of Qi and blood!】
The resentment of these Vicious Beasts was far weaker than that of humans, easily crushed by his Spirit.
“Too little!”
Not only was the Qi and blood pitifully scarce, but the entries were also trashy.
Lin Wu called up the wristband’s light screen.
As the previous examiner had said, the wristband could provide the location of Vicious Beasts.
Lin Wu began observing the map on the light screen.
“There are dozens of Vicious Beasts nearby, but they are all below Rank 3, completely meaningless…”
“This seems to be a Vicious Beast den, with the highest-ranked one being Rank 4.”
Lin Wu directly closed the light screen and ran at an extremely fast speed.
At 200 meters per second, Lin Wu quickly reached the vicinity of the Vicious Beast lair.
Due to his super endurance, he felt no fatigue even after running several kilometers.
The Vicious Beast lair before him was a stone mountain, containing many tunnels and pits.
As soon as Lin Wu stopped, several monkey-shaped Vicious Beasts roared and charged out.
【Name: Dark Allure Blazing Monkey】
【Realm: Rank 3 Vicious Beast】
【trait: Herculean Strength (Green), Copper Skin (Green), Flame Resistance (Green)】
The entries were decent.
There was offense and defense.
But in the face of Lin Wu’s eight tons of strength, they seemed too vulnerable.
Almost in the blink of an eye, these three Blazing Monkeys were cut in half by the Blood Flame Spear!
Seeing their companions slain, many roars erupted from within the stone mountain!
In an instant,
more than a dozen Blazing Monkeys rushed out, wielding stick-like weapons, their bodies shimmering with faint flames!
Lin Wu immediately stabbed two to death.
The Blood Flame Spear ignited with raging flames!
Thereafter, each swing of the Spear pierced through a Blazing Monkey!
Lin Wu continuously dodged and weaved.
The Blood Flame Spear was like the King of Hell calling names; whichever Vicious Beast was targeted would lose its life.
Soon, these Rank 3 Blazing Monkeys were all killed!
A larger roar resounded!
Two more Rank 4 Vicious Beasts emerged from the stone mountain. Besides having stronger entries, they also carried stick-like weapons made from the thigh bones of some creature.
These Rank 4 Vicious Beasts were three meters tall, with bulging muscles all over their bodies.
【Name: Dark Allure Blazing Flame Monkey】
【Rank: Rank 4 Vicious Beast】
【trait: Thousand Jin Strength (Blue), Flame Control (Blue), Impenetrable (Blue)】
A gleam flashed in Lin Wu’s eyes.
“They actually possess elemental abilities!”
The two monkeys roared and charged forward.
They swung the thigh bones in their hands, rushing at him with ferocious Aura.
Lin Wu threw a punch, and the thigh bone weapon shattered instantly.
He threw another punch, striking the Blazing Flame Monkey’s face hard, instantly shattering its bones.
Instead of being severely injured, the Blazing Flame Monkey immediately counterattacked, flames erupting from its body, clearly intending a mutual destruction!
Just as Lin Wu was about to dodge, the flames burned him.
A sharp pain struck!
However, it caused no actual damage.
After all, his Alloy Defense was 11 times that of steel.
The Blazing Flame Monkey was dumbfounded, never expecting that its Qi and blood-burning attack would fail to harm this human.
Lin Wu punched down again, directly smashing its head.
The other Blazing Flame Monkey, with flames attached to the thigh bone in its hand, smashed it down fiercely.
Lin Wu seized the opportunity; a cold light flashed, and the tip of his Spear directly severed its head!
In a few minutes, all the Vicious Beasts here were suppressed and killed!
Lin Wu wasted no time and began to absorb Qi and blood and entries.
The Meridians in his hands went to work.
The residual Qi and blood of each Vicious Beast were absorbed by Lin Wu.
【You absorbed 100 units of Qi and blood!】
【You absorbed 200 units of Qi and blood!】
Each Rank 3 Vicious Beast provided 100 units.
And Rank 4 Vicious Beasts provided 400 units.
All the Qi and blood combined… Lin Wu gained 2200 units of Qi and blood!
Eighteen Rank 3 Vicious Beasts, plus two Rank 4 Vicious Beasts… Lin Wu even felt he was on the verge of a Breakthrough, and it wouldn't be long before he reached Body Tempering Realm Stage 4!
“System, absorb entries!”
【There are three entries available for absorption—】
【Flame Control (Blue): By fusing this trait, you will possess flame abilities, which can be released by burning Qi and blood or flames.】
