Chapter 78 – Slaughter begins


“You’re courting death!”

Perhaps truly sensing the crisis, they all activated their transformations simultaneously.

Watching the members of Group 4 transform into various sizes of animals, Ye Shuangluo quipped with interest, “Is this a zoo? So many birds and beasts.”

Having been in this world for almost half a month, he had a rough understanding of its power system.

Ability users were generally divided into three types:

First was the Special Type, which included Huo Ling, Bai Ge, and Lu Feiyang.

Then there was the Divine Weapon Type, with the globally recognized representative being Zhou Boyu.

Divine Weapon ability users, upon awakening, would possess a unique Divine Weapon. Their fates were intertwined; if the weapon was damaged, the user would also be harmed.

Lastly, there was the Beast Type, where users could transform into various fierce beasts.

Notably, almost all of the 20-plus members of Group 4 were Beast Type.

Except for three or four Divine Weapon or Special Type users hiding at the back, everyone else had transformed into beasts.

Gorillas, eagles, tigers, lions…

And standing beside a few untransformed members was Long Yiyi, who had transformed into a fire dragon, covered in dragon scales.

“Roar!”

The gorilla pounded its chest furiously with both fists, then charged at Ye Shuangluo.

With a running start, it leaped and threw a powerful punch.

Ye Shuangluo stood motionless, while the gorilla staggered back three steps, its fist bleeding.

[Thorn Aura LV.1]

[Skill Type: Passive Skill]

[Effect: Reflects 5% of physical damage back to the attacker]

[Upgrade Conditions: 50 Armor Points, 20,000 Points]

[Evaluation: Stack the thickest armor, take the hardest hits. Why are you down when I haven’t even exerted myself?]

Ye Shuangluo tested his new skill briefly and found the results satisfactory.

Next, it was time to fight.

With a thought, wind and ice elements immediately enveloped Mortal Kill.

He quickly charged at the nearest gorilla. Since the opponent had punched him, he would return the favor with a slash.

The gorilla threw another punch as Ye Shuangluo approached.

Ye Shuangluo sidestepped and slashed at the gorilla’s chest without any deviation.

At the critical moment, a green light flew into Ye Shuangluo’s body.

[The enemy has cast “Nature’s Bind” on you. You need to make a Strength Judgment… Judgment passed, you are immune to the negative effect]

Although he passed the judgment, he was briefly controlled, and the gorilla was covered in a blue armor.

Meanwhile, a bird covered in ice armor dived at him from mid-air.

Slash!

Ye Shuangluo shattered the gorilla’s armor with a single slash, then used wind elements to accelerate the ice-armored bird, dodging to the side.

Whoosh!

The ice-armored bird, unable to stop due to its speed, crashed into the gorilla.

Bang!

Both beasts fell to the ground simultaneously.

The ice-armored bird flapped its wings, trying to take off again, but Ye Shuangluo had already raised his long knife.

Slash!

With one strike, he pierced through both the ice-armored bird and the gorilla, completing a double kill.

“Niannian! Ah Mo!”

Long Yiyi’s eyes were red with rage at the sight. How dare he kill her two companions right in front of her!

She wanted to kill Ye Shuangluo, to torture him to death.

Compared to Long Yiyi’s frenzy, the others remained calm.

Though saddened by the loss of two more comrades, they knew now was not the time to mourn.

Because Ye Shuangluo was already charging at them with his knife.

A black panther covered in blue armor took the initiative to confront him.

Slash!

Another clean cut shattered the armor, but the panther remained calm, opening its mouth wide.

Simultaneously, all the transformed beasts of Group 4 opened their mouths wide.

“Roar!”

The deafening roar echoed in Ye Shuangluo’s ears.

[You are under a sonic attack (group), stunned for 0.5-5 seconds. You need to make a dual Constitution and Will Judgment]

[Constitution Judgment… Passed]

[Will Judgment… Passed]

[Stun immunity]

Perhaps because this move had always been effective before, the panther let its guard down after roaring.

Ye Shuangluo took the opportunity to stab upward into the panther’s open mouth.

Slash!

The blade pierced through the panther, its eyes still showing contempt, thinking the move had succeeded.

With the panther’s death, nine Wraith Soldiers were summoned.

Ye Shuangluo immediately activated the special effect of [Wolf Feast].

These Wraith Soldiers were mentally connected to him, needing no verbal commands. A mere thought was enough for them to act.

As soon as they were summoned, they attacked the birds and beasts.

Their fearless fighting style threw the beasts into disarray.

Meanwhile, Ye Shuangluo used wind elements to fly, heading straight for the humanoid members at the back.

In a team battle, the priority was to eliminate the backline, the most fragile and troublesome ones.

Especially the one who kept armoring the beasts.

Because of her, enemies that could be killed with one strike now required two.

The girl holding a staff noticed Ye Shuangluo’s blood-red eyes fixed on her, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Long Yiyi quickly reassured her, “Don’t be afraid, Xiaohan. With me here, he can’t hurt you.”

Xiaohan forced a smile, trying to comfort herself: It’s okay, with Sister Yi here, I’ll be fine.

In the air, three large birds surrounded Ye Shuangluo, trying to stop his advance.

But they were no match for him. With a few swift slashes, they fell to the ground, dead.

“Ziyu, why aren’t you shooting?”

A tiger engulfed in flames roared at a girl with a hunting rifle, protected at the back.

“I… I want to, but every time I aim at him, I get dizzy.”

The girl was on the verge of tears. Every time she aimed at the boy in the air, she felt dizzy.

But if she did nothing, she was fine.

It was utterly bizarre.

While the beasts were being held off by the Wraith Soldiers, Ye Shuangluo reached his destination.

Long Yiyi spat a large ball of fire at him without hesitation.

Ye Shuangluo conjured an ice wall to block the fireball.

As the fire and ice wall collided, they canceled each other out, creating a cloud of white mist.

Long Yiyi was momentarily blinded, but Ye Shuangluo could still sense his target clearly.

He calmly stored Mortal Kill in his space backpack and took out the [Red Flame Fang Type III].

Although his control over fire elements wasn’t as smooth as wind and ice, and fire elements generally avoided him, he could forcefully summon them.

Thus, he barely met the requirements to use the [Red Flame Fang Type III].

After extorting the [Red Flame Fang Type III], he often practiced on various monsters.

So now, shooting these stationary targets was a piece of cake.

Thanks to Lu Feiyang, who, despite being usually useless, had provided him with hundreds of sniper bullets upon request.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Red Flame Fang Type III] fired three consecutive shots.

The first shot shattered the blue armor on the staff girl, the second shot killed her with a headshot, and the third shot killed another girl.

Long Yiyi turned around in disbelief. Except for Ziyu, everyone else had been headshot and killed.

On the other side, the nearly defeated Wraith Soldiers, whose armor was tattered, were about to fall apart.

But Ye Shuangluo’s three shots summoned 18 more Wraith Soldiers, upgrading the buff from Wolf Feast. Their armor began to restore and became intact again.
