Although Bai Zemin''s previous attack, which transformed into a skill called Crimson Blood Judgment, had note into direct contact with the forest floor, the temperature of the me from the zing Ring propelled by the strong tornado from the Hurricane Ne had enough power to ignite the grass several meters below.


    When the heat from the me came in contact with the gasoline and highly mmable oil spread earlier, the ground automatically began to burn. In addition, due to the wind from the hurricane, all the mes began to spread southward, slowly burning the forest and getting closer and closer to the center.


    Suddenly, the ground began to shake and the earth rumbled as if an earthquake was shaking the world. However, it was clear to Bai Zemin and the other two men present that what caused the rumbling was not an earthquake.


    <i>Roar!</i>


    A giant elephant beetle roared with its head held high as it ran in a straight line directly toward the buildings. Its body was surrounded by yellow mes that protected it from the crimson mes; however, the creature was obviously expending a lot of Mana to keep its skill active at all times.


    Following right behind the giant elephant beetle, two mutated dogs whose fur looked like an iron te, two ck-furred tigers, three green-spotted cats, five huge snakes that were even bigger than a normal python before the apocalypse, and a fat bee with a two-meter stinger were rapidly approaching carrying murderous intent with bloodshot eyes.


    The blood disappeared from Chen He and Liang Peng''s faces at the sight of such a monstrous lineup of evolved beasts.


    "It''s the end!" Liang Peng couldn''t help but exim as he tightened his grip on his hammer and prepared to fight to the death.


    Being the slowest of the three, Liang Peng knew that running away was an impossibility for him so he had no choice but to fight whether he wanted to or not.


    On the other hand, Chen He was not only scared by the sight but also for Shangguan Bing Xue... Did something happen to her? Considering the number of beasts that came out of the forest, the chances of her surviving were not very high...


    Soon we''ll join up again. He thought as he raised his crossbow and aimed at the flying bee with eyes filled with sadness.


    In the midst of all this atmosphere, only Bai Zemin had an indifferent expression.


    He looked at the First Order zing Beetle and couldn''t help but nk out for a split second, remembering his battle to the death against a creature of the same type.


    "Let me see how strong I''ve be." He muttered under his breath and narrowed his eyes as he ced one foot on the edge of the building before lunging forward with all his might.


    <i>Bang!</i>


    The edge of the building''s concrete roof tore into pieces and Bai Zemin transformed into a shadow hard to notice by the naked eye.


    Still in the air and taking advantage of gravity''s momentum, Bai Zemin made aplete turn and while holding on to the Xuanyuan Sword shed downward. Without skill and without any elegant style; pure strength and speed!


    <i>Boom!</i>


    The speed of the zing Beetle was not particrly fast and even back then Bai Zemin managed to win precisely by making use of his superior Agility; not to mention now that he had be countless times stronger.


    The First Order beast did not even understand the situation and by the time it realized what was happening it was already toote.


    The Xuanyuan Sword, a treasure capable of piercing through the defenses of almost any creature below level 40, might have difficulty piercing through the zing Beetle''s defenses in normal times; after all, it was a mostly defensive beast. However, the current Bai Zemin was capable of raising the sword''s power to new heights due to his Strength.


    His attack struck firmly right on top of the giant horn, causing a thunderous explosion. His eyes filled with murderous intent met the beast''s disbelieving gaze for a moment before something terrifying happened.


    <i>Crack... Crack... Crack... Bang!</i>


    Small sized cracks began to appear from the point of impact before spreading throughout the horn. However, that was not all.


    <i>ROAR!</i>


    The Fiery Beetle''s eyes quivered in shock and it staggered back several steps as it roared in pain. Not because of the loss of its main weapon, but because its shell was cracking as well!


    Under the surprised gaze of the two men behind, cracks spread across the entire metal armor of the zing Beetle before bursting into pieces!


    The creature roared again in pain and the yellow mes that belonged to it were extinguished as crimson mes were expelled by the shockwave of the previous attack.


    <i>sh!</i>


    There was a sharp sh and the next instant the roars of the zing Beetle came to aplete stop... Right in the center of the beast''s head appeared a red line from which blood began to flow slowly.


    <i>Ssh!</i>


    The head split in two and blood sttered everywhere, staining the cracked ground and attracting the attention of the other First Order creatures that were using the zing Beetle as a front charge to escape the crimson mes setting the forest aze.


    [You have acquired the Soul Power of the First Order zing Beetle level 31. Mana +24, Magic +15, Health +12, Stamina +8, Strength +5].


    Standing over the now copsed body of the zing Beetle, Bai Zemin''s gaze was indifferent and he couldn''t help but sigh.


    Who would have thought that a little over a week ago he had almost been killed by a monster of the same type he had just in so easily? Back then, Bai Zemin was on the verge of death countless times, and even though he won it was a miserable victory.


    Moreover, something that surprised him was that he also received another message.


    [Blood Will activated. For the next five minutes, increase your overall attack power by 1% for each enemy killed and 0.1% for each surrounding enemy alive up to a maximum of 50%. Current status: 2.3%/50%].


    Too bad, he didn''t have time to study things too much since he was in the middle of a battlefield.


    <i>Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...</i>


    Suddenly the wind swooshed and Bai Zemin couldn''t help but let his expression change slightly. Without dy he hurriedly jumped forward, barely escaping from danger.


    Right at the ce where he was standing before, several green orbs struck the flesh of the zing Beetle and under Bai Zemin''s astonished gaze the flesh began to be corroded quickly.


    With narrowed eyes, he saw the five snakes looking at him coldly. A strange green liquid was stilling out of their mouths and every time a drop reached the ground the earth steamed and small holes formed.


    Bai Zemin identified the snakes as a dangerous target and quickly charged forward. The snakes were not idle either as they began to bombard him spitting acidden green orbs.


    Bai Zemin did not dare to take the giant mutated snakes'' attacks head-on as he was not confident that his Full Coat would be able to withstand the acid corrosion so he quickly began to move in a zigzagging motion.
