Before Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing arrived, there were only two or three wild beasts attacking the camp. Zhang Xuan and the others led the soldiers to fight the beasts with their bare hands at first, and they also treated the fight with the beasts as part of their training.
However, for some reason, the number of wild beasts kept increasing. At first, dozens of people fought against one beast, then it became a few people fighting against one, and later, as the number of wild beasts increased, it became almost one person fighting against one.
Although they had been training for more than ten days and their strength had improved a lot, it was still somewhat difficult for each of them to fight a medium-sized beast, especially since it was hand-to-hand combat. However, it was not impossible for them to win. Everyone wanted to see where their limits were, so no one took out their mechas and they all fought with their bare hands.
However, the wild beasts continued to rush towards their camp, whether it was because they happened to encounter a beast tide or for some other reason, they were just very unlucky.
Later, when they couldn’t hold on any longer, everyone took out their mechas, and only then did they feel a little less pressure.
Even when the mechas were first introduced, everyone only used them to fight against beasts. They didn’t use firearms. Instead, they applied the same hand-to-hand combat techniques to the mechas. But this application seemed to open a new door for everyone, revealing that mechas could be used in this way.
So, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, everyone practiced advanced martial arts moves in their mechas and discovered that the mechas were also becoming more powerful. If it weren’t for the increasing number of wild beasts later on, they would definitely have continued training.
The soldiers were here for special training, not to show off. If they could handle the beasts, they would do their best to deal with them by hand. However, when the beasts were more powerful and numerous than they could handle, they would have to rely on high technology. After all, safety came first, and there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices here.
Later, they all began to use firearms to try to scare away the wild beasts, but found that it had little effect. The wild beasts continued to attack them. Although wild beasts had no fighting skills, their instinctive fighting spirit was very strong. In addition, they were naturally strong and had thick skin, so they were not easy to deal with.
They had always heard that the beasts on the planet Seyfert were powerful, terrifying, and dangerous, and that going to Seyfert was almost always a matter of life and death.
They had been worried before coming to Planet Seyfert, but after arriving, as they fought against the beasts, their strength grew and their confidence swelled. Gradually, they forgot about the dangers of Planet Seyfert and even had the illusion that they were still training on the Emperor Star.
It wasn’t until they fought so many beasts that they realized the dangers of Planet Seyfert were not just rumors. They had previously fought only one beast each, with their captain by their side. Furthermore, they had cultivated advanced martial arts and their strength had increased. The captain had chosen the beasts to fight based on their strength, so they were naturally able to win.
It was precisely because of these repeated victories that they almost became blinded by pride and failed to see their true strength.
The attack by the wild beasts calmed their restless and inflated minds, making them more grounded, which would benefit their future training.
However, they would not be grateful to these beasts for this. If these beasts had not retreated today, or if they had not all been killed, they would likely have all perished here.
Han Junzhan, piloting his mecha, did not join Zhang Xuan and the others in their battle. Instead, he flew directly over the pack of beasts from above, heading towards their rear.
Although Zhang Xuan and the others did not know why Han Junzhan had gone to the rear, they all had unconditional trust in him. Their current task was to deal with the beast in front of them and do their best to ensure their own safety.
Arriving at the rear of the beast horde, in a place unseen and unnoticed by Zhang Xuan and the others, Luo Lingxing emerged from her mecha and hovered in the air. Many flying beasts attacked Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan’s mecha.
Luo Lingxing, no longer holding back, unleashed his spiritual power and techniques, illuminating the small area with dazzling colors. Flying beasts howled and fell from the sky.
However, for every beast that fell, another would take its place. If the leader of the beasts wasn’t found quickly, this horde would likely be difficult to disperse.
While dealing with the relentless attacks of the beasts, Luo Lingxing released his divine sense to search for the demon hiding among the beasts.
Luo Lingxing flew higher, his field of vision became wider, and the range of his divine sense expanded. Most importantly, because of his presence below, Han Junzhan dared not use firearms to fight against these birds and beasts, for fear of accidentally injuring him. Now that Luo Lingxing was flying very high, Han Junzhan was able to unleash his full power.
Han Junzhan piloted the mecha, protecting Luo Lingxing from below, while Luo Lingxing focused on finding the demon. His divine sense scanned the group of beasts below, but because there were too many beasts, it was difficult to find the demon that was hiding.
“Chirp!” A loud fox howl came from inside the mecha. The beasts that had been running forward suddenly froze, and some of the weaker ones were even trembling, as if they were afraid of something.
However, the next moment, another loud roar came from the pack of beasts, and the trembling beasts continued to run forward with red eyes, as if they had been controlled by the roar just now.
It was from this roar that Luo Lingxing instantly sensed the presence of the demon race and quickly located it. He flew towards the direction of the beast that had roared.
A completely black demon was mixed in with the wild beasts, and since it was nighttime, it was not easy to spot it unless you looked closely.
Luo Lingxing concentrated his spiritual power in his right palm and swung it fiercely at the demon. A flash of spiritual power tore a gash in the demon’s body.
“Roar!” The demon felt the pain. Its bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Luo Lingxing in the air, roaring angrily as it swung its claws, trying to knock Luo Lingxing down from the sky.
Luo Lingxing naturally wouldn’t let it have its way. Dodging the opponent’s claws, he gathered his spiritual power again and kept throwing it at the demon.
Upon closer inspection, Luo Lingxing realized that this demon closely resembled Lin Mu’s description and might be the culprit behind the deaths of Lin Mu’s team.
This demon was a low-level, uncivilized creature. It must have only recently become a demon. Although it is surrounded by demonic energy, there wasn’t much of it.
The cultivation methods of demons were completely different from those of cultivators. Cultivators needed spiritual energy to cultivate, which they absorbed into their bodies, refined, and transformed into spiritual power stored in their dantian. However, demons needed demonic energy to cultivate, and the generation of demonic energy was completely different from that of spiritual energy. They needed to kill constantly. When they killed a creature, they absorbed a trace of demonic energy emitted from the dead creature. In other words, the higher the level of a demon’s cultivation, the more creatures it had killed. It could be said that the cultivation level of demons was entirely built up through killing.
Black gas, invisible to ordinary people, kept gathering around the demon that Luo Lingxing had injured. After the black gas came into contact with the demon’s body, it was absorbed by the demon, and the wounds inflicted by Luo Lingxing gradually healed under the cover of the black gas.
The black gas that kept drifting over was what was known as demonic energy.
These demonic energies originated from the bodies of the beasts killed by Zhang Xuan and the others earlier, and were then absorbed by the demons. Tonight’s beast tide was probably caused by this demon wanting to cultivate, but they were just unlucky enough to run into it, so the beasts started fighting with the humans.
Regardless of whether the beast or the human won the battle, it would benefit the demon race. This was because all creatures generated demonic energy upon death, especially those that died with resentment and bitterness, which generated even more demonic energy.
It was likely that many of these beasts today had no desire to fight, or were simply gentle creatures by nature. They were only forced to attack humans because of the existence of this demon. When such beasts died, they generated more demonic energy for the demon to absorb.
If they wanted to end this battle between humans and beasts today, they had to kill this demon.
Fortunately, the spiritual power of cultivators was the nemesis of demons. Unless the demon’s level was much higher than the cultivator’s, it would not be restrained by spiritual power. Otherwise, demons of the same level would generally be at a disadvantage when fighting against cultivators. Moreover, Luo Lingxing was about to break through to the Heartbeat stage, while this demon was still a low-level demon. It had no chance of winning against Luo Lingxing.
Perhaps this demon instinctively sensed Luo Lingxing’s power and terror. It began to avoid confronting Luo Lingxing directly, instead constantly driving these ordinary beasts to fight him. As Luo Lingxing killed the beasts, it continuously absorbed the demonic energy emanating from the dead beasts.
Luo Lingxing was eager to kill this demon as soon as possible. Although his level was far higher than that of the demon, there were simply too many of these beasts. As the saying goes, even two fists couldn’t fight four hands, and ants could even kill an elephant. Although Luo Lingxing could ensure that he wouldn’t be hurt by these beasts, he was already overwhelmed just dealing with them. It seemed that this demon was quite clever.
Luo Lingxing stopped holding back and unleashed his full power at the peak of the Fusion stage, constantly attacking the beasts that came towards him. Occasionally, he could even land a move or two on the demon, inflicting some injuries on it. However, killing it would still be difficult unless he broke through to the Heartbeat stage right now.
In fact, Luo Lingxing had already stored up enough spiritual energy for his breakthrough, and his realm had become somewhat loose. He only needed an opportunity to break through to the Heartbeat stage, but that opportunity had not yet appeared.
Forcing a breakthrough was not impossible, but it would be bad for one’s cultivation. Therefore, Luo Lingxing rarely forced a breakthrough and always chose to let nature take its course. However, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate. He must reach the Heartbeat Stage as soon as possible, kill this demon, and make these beasts disperse. Otherwise, he may be able to protect himself and Han Junzhan, but he may not be able to protect those soldiers.
