296: shock

At the same time.

A residential building in the south of Z City.

Li Xiu let out a long sigh after carrying two bags of rice into the room.

"While the supermarket isn't closed yet, I have to stock up on as much food as possible."

Looking at the five bags of rice in the house, Li Xiu realized it wasn't enough.

Although he had no family and lived alone.

But as the System's points increased, his physical fitness improved, and his appetite would only grow larger.

"I can only go back to the supermarket tomorrow to see."

Looking at The Black Night outside the window, and the bats in The Black Night that were clearly a size larger, Li Xiu finally accepted the reality that the System had told him about.

"Buzz buzz ~"

On his telephone, a message came from the class committee member in the class group chat.

The School was completely suspended, and the time for classes to resume was unknown.

"The apocalypse has really come."

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiu's state of mind also began to change unconsciously.

"Ah!!"

Downstairs in the residential building, a bright scream instantly tensed Li Xiu's nerves.

His gaze dropped sharply.

The scene before his eyes made Li Xiu nearly vomit.

He could see.

Below his fifth floor, a woman, amidst screams, was directly torn in half by a terrifying lion!

The woman's scream came to an abrupt end.

A mouth full of fresh blood dyed the lion's fur and pupils crimson.

The cold aura indicated that it wasn't eating, but killing!

"Beep! Task issued, Host please resolve the lion."

Success: Rewards issued based on rating.

Failure: Death.

The mechanical voice of the Apocalypse Survival System appeared in his ears.

Li Xiu clutched his head, feeling that this System was completely brainless to issue such a task!

The strength of both sides was clearly not on the same level, asking him to resolve the lion below, wasn't that just giving him away?

Li Xiu could even see that behind the lion below, in the Darkness, there seemed to be another lion!

Just two days ago, when he was still an ordinary Student, the rescue mission issued by the System also required him to face that ten-meter giant python, and if Teacher Xu Feng hadn't arrived in time, he might already be gone.

Now it seemed, this Apocalypse Survival System was completely the Apocalypse Die Quickly System!

"System, can I give up this task?"

"Beep ~ Giving up is equivalent to failure."

Li Xiu: "WNM"

...

"Zoo lions have escaped unexpectedly, please citizens close your doors and windows and return home, and quietly wait for the Army to resolve the issue!"

"Zoo lions have escaped unexpectedly, please citizens close your doors and windows and return home, and quietly wait for the Army to resolve the issue!"

In the streets on both sides, a police car with a loudspeaker roared past.

The loud voice carried a sense of urgency.

It wasn't just propaganda on the streets.

News in Z City was also urgently reporting this incident.

To avoid causing greater panic, the news only stated that the lions had the possibility of actively attacking Humans, and their number was five.

As for the size of the lions, they chose to conceal it.

Under the rapid transmission of information, the streets were basically empty.

Even vehicles were nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, on a certain street.

A van was driving along as if nothing was wrong.

"What is this? Oh, this thing's speed is comparable to the Village Chief's big donkey!"

Hu Da, in the passenger seat, looked left and right, touching everything, his face full of curiosity.

Xu Feng, who was driving, was full of suspicion.

How could the summoned character reveal 'unreliable' in every aspect?

However, thinking that the System had rated the other party as a two-star summoned character, Xu Feng suppressed his doubts.

"Brother, are you sure the lions are in this direction?"

Xu Feng asked Hu Da an extra question.

"Lions, well, I've hunted who knows how many. The lions where we are will cover their scent to hide from us, but you guys here, well, I can smell them without even observing."

"That lion, it seems to have killed someone."

His nose twitched, and Hu Da's brow furrowed slightly.

Hearing this, Xu Feng stepped on the accelerator, and the car's speed increased significantly.

A few minutes later.

Hu Da's eyes lit up in the passenger seat: "We're here!"

"Screech!"

Xu Feng slammed on the brakes.

On the quiet street, the sound of braking was very clear.

"Thud ~"

A muffled sound that shook the ground made Xu Feng's gaze focus on the Darkness ahead.

Under the faint streetlights, a thick beast leg heavily stepped onto the ground!

Even though he had seen the lion's size chart before coming, the impact brought by facing it directly the moment he truly saw it, was intimidating Xu Feng in every aspect!

Creature: Mutated Lion.

Level: One-star Initial Stage.

Description: After mutation, its claws are tougher, its teeth are sharper, and with improvements in all aspects, it is also more ferocious.

Simple data, combined with the huge physique of about three to four meters in front, looked like a bloodthirsty demon!

"Be careful, this guy is terrifying, and there are five of them!"

Xu Feng said seriously.

However, when he turned his head.

He found that the passenger seat was already empty.

Hu Da, who couldn't open the car door, had already climbed out the window.

This guy, empty-handed, walked towards the lion in front!

Xu Feng's heart tightened, he picked up the fine steel axe beside him, and pushed open the car door.

Although he knew that the System's evaluation of a two-star character meant their strength wouldn't be weak, Hu Da's unreliable appearance really made Xu Feng uneasy.

However.

When Xu Feng had just gotten out of the car.

He suddenly saw that the male lion in front, after a roar.

With its mane swaying, its thick lion claw directly swatted down towards Hu Da, a few sharp claws carrying a chilling glint, suddenly bursting forth!

This kind of attack was enough to tear an ordinary person apart!

In response, Hu Da raised his fist, which was clearly disproportionate to the lion's size, and directly punched upwards!

"Dong!"

The dull, heavy sound of flesh colliding was accompanied by a clear bone crack!

Xu Feng watched in shock as Hu Da directly blasted the male lion into the air with his tiny body!

"Growing this big and not even as good as a second-grade Spirit Beast, are you living to grow meat for people to eat?!"

Looking at the lion that hadn't landed yet, Hu Da pushed off the ground with his foot, and a ball of Fire slowly appeared on his fist!

"Mid-grade Martial Arts, Blazing Fire Fist!"

On the Ling Sheng Continent, one generally only comes into contact with spiritual studies upon reaching the Da Wu Master Realm, while in the Realms below, the focus is primarily on Martial Arts.

Hu Da, a Martial Master, had always been proud of his ability to skillfully use the Blazing Fire Fist.

For the male lion before him.

This punch was clearly a death warrant!

"Thump ~"

A rich Fire light instantly swept over half of the male lion's body, illuminating the entire dark street.

"Roar!"

Amidst screams of extreme pain and despair, the male lion stiffly flew backward to a corner of the road!

This scene not only left Xu Feng dumbfounded.

Ye Tian also secretly clicked his tongue.

People from the fantasy World, any one of them is not weak, it's just that they were in that World before and there was no comparison, so it wasn't highlighted.

However, this is also the initial stage of this World's transformation.

It won't be too different later on.

"Roar! Roar!!"

Roars that shook the street, one after another.

As the first lion fell to the ground in a flash, the four lions that appeared afterward, the moment they saw Hu Da, this Human, their pupils all turned red!

The tyrannical aura seemed to have materialized!

"Originally, goods like you were for my younger brothers to practice with, but since you're here, then let me loosen my Gu and bones!"

Stepping on the ground with his foot, Hu Da rushed towards the lion pack, throwing a simple and unadorned punch!

Clear bone-cracking sounds exploded like crisp bamboo.

With every punch, the powerful force sent one male lion after another to the ground.

Looking at the giant lions that were all on the ground wailing after a short while, Xu Feng finally understood the value of the two-star character summoned by the System!

"Thump thump thump thump!"

After adding a punch to the head of each lion, confirming that all the lions were dead, Hu Da immediately felt something extra on his body.

After fumbling for a while.

A recording stone immediately appeared in his hand, turning it over, it was clearly marked as a product of Tianwei Sect!

For a moment, Hu Da's eyes flashed with brilliant light!

"Brother, the matter is resolved, I'll be leaving now!"

Holding the item in his hand, Hu Da felt this was the luckiest thing in his life.

As for those five garbage lions, he would find them smelly even if he ate them.

Watching Hu Da disappear directly, Xu Feng didn't expect this guy to come quickly and leave even faster.

However, turning to look at the five precious lions on the ground, his mood also became excited.

Holding the axe, he quickly approached the lions.

"System, collect Materials."

As the voice fell, on the street, the five lions, like fragments, slowly dissipated...

Xu Feng didn't see, behind him.

Li Xiu, who had rushed over, just happened to witness the shocking scene of Xu Feng holding a giant axe, standing in front of the corpses of five giant male lions!

The A Man's shadow was stretched long and slanted by the faint streetlights, and the giant axe in his hand, even after killing the lions, was still not stained with a single drop of blood.

The thin figure holding that fierce axe gave a visual impact!

This person, is Teacher Xu!

And he, unexpectedly, had already killed the five lions by himself!

Even these five lions had turned into ashes!!

Such a subversion(subversive/overturning) and shocking scene left Li Xiu stunned beyond belief for a moment!
