After listening to Lin Mu’s description, Luo Lingxing felt more at ease. It seemed that there was still some difference between wild beasts that had become demons and ordinary wild beasts. In the future, everyone could simply avoid any wild beasts that seemed strange.
Currently, the demon race was still very dangerous for soldiers who have not cultivated. It was just unknown how many demons there were on this planet, and to what extent the most powerful ones have cultivated.
He had come here several times before, but he had never encountered any demons. He didn’t know whether these demons had always existed or had just appeared.
Luo Lingxing’s feelings were very complicated. In his previous life, he had come to this world by self-destructing because of the great war between cultivators and demons. He hated the demons.
However, this world has no spiritual energy and no cultivators. He thought it was a world of ordinary people, but he never expected to encounter news of the demon race. He wondered if the demon race in this world had always existed, or… appeared because of his appearance?
If it really was the latter…
“Luoluo, don’t worry. I’m here, everything will be alright.” Han Junzhan gently embraced Luo Lingxing, reassuring him in a low voice.
With just one expression, Han Junzhan knew what Luo Lingxing was thinking. He knew about Luo Lingxing’s past life and his relationship with the demons, so he also knew that Luo Lingxing was blaming himself.
But what did all this have to do with Luo Lingxing?
He didn’t choose to come into this world, and the appearance of the demons was beyond anyone’s control. This matter couldn’t be blamed on Luoluo at all. In fact… if they wanted to eliminate the demons in this world, they still needed Luoluo’s help.
Luoluo was not the one who brought them disaster. On the contrary, Luoluo would be the one to save them.
“Major General Han, something terrible has happened! Wild animals are attacking!” A soldier rushed to the tent to inform Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing led Lin Mu out of the tent and found that the outside was in chaos, with noise everywhere and some firelight mixed in.
Because their group was so large, the area they camped in was very big, and the tents were all set up separately. Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing’s tent was at the very back, so there was still some distance between their campsite and the outer perimeter.
“What happened?” Han Junzhan asked the soldier who came to deliver the message.
“We don’t know either. Everyone was preparing dinner when we suddenly heard the roar of wild animals. Then, not long after, several wild animals ran outside our camp. Captain Zhang and Captain Zhao have already led men to drive them away,” the man said quickly.
They had already lit a campfire and were preparing to roast meat for dinner when some wild animals inexplicably came along. They initially thought it was just a few that had happened by chance, so Captain Zhang and Captain Zhao led their men to drive them away. However, the number of wild animals kept increasing. Although they were all small to medium-sized animals, their sheer number was still quite troublesome.
“Why are there beasts here? Didn’t we already drive away all the beasts in the area?” Luo Lingxing couldn’t help but ask. Every time they went to a place, they would scout it out beforehand to make sure there were no large wild animals before driving away the smaller ones. This was the first time they had encountered a situation like this, where a large number of wild animals suddenly appeared at night.
Just then, a rumbling sound rang out in front of them—the sound of firearms firing.
Since arriving on this planet for special training, everyone has generally avoided using mechas if they could handle a situation with their bare hands, and avoided using firearms if they could handle a situation with a mecha. But now that firearms were being used, it meant that there were probably quite a few beasts coming tonight, and their strength was certainly not weak.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing didn’t delay any longer and immediately headed towards the outer perimeter of the camp.
The fighting had already raged fiercely outside the camp, and the tents on the outskirts had all turned to ashes and vanished into thin air, leaving the area in complete disarray.
Towering mechas clashed with equally massive beasts. Occasionally, the mechas would fire cannons, blasting large areas with a single shot. But as soon as one beast fell, another would pounce, seemingly fearless of death, charging forward one after another.
Generally speaking, wild animals were afraid of fire, so every night they lit campfires around the camp to keep some wild animals away. However, now that artillery and firearms were in use, these wild animals were not afraid at all, and they rushed towards the group as if they were in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Something was clearly wrong.
Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan did not take out their mechas. They were standing behind everyone, so Zhang Xuan and the others who were in the midst of a fierce battle did not notice their arrival. The soldier who had tipped them off immediately joined the battle after arriving on the battlefield.
Luo Lingxing suddenly rose into the air. The towering mechas in front of him blocked his view, so he flew into the air before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, and he was also stunned.
Before the mechas were countless beasts, densely packed and stretching to who-knows-where. Although these were small to medium-sized beasts with low combat power, their sheer number made the battle extremely exhausting.
It was obvious that something was wrong with this situation. There must be a large, intelligent beast leading this group of small and medium-sized wild animals. Otherwise, these beasts wouldn’t be so orderly and fearless in their pursuit, especially under artillery fire. They should at least have some reservations.
“Junzhan, there’s probably a leader behind these beasts. We must find that leader first, otherwise these beasts won’t disappear,” Luo Lingxing told Han Junzhan.
Han Junzhan nodded, then took out his mecha and said to Luo Lingxing, “I’m going to find the leader of the beasts. You take good care of yourself.”
Han Junzhan was actually quite worried about Luo Lingxing being alone. He really wanted to take Luo Lingxing with him, but Luo Lingxing’s physical level was not Grade B yet. If he were to fight the leader of the beasts later, Luo Lingxing’s physique would not be able to withstand the violent shaking of the mecha. He could only tell the other party to be careful and protect himself.
However, Luo Lingxing’s thoughts were clearly different from Han Junzhan’s, and he said directly, “I’ll go with you.”
“No, your physical level cannot withstand the intense movements of the mecha,” Han Junzhan said.
“I won’t go inside the mecha. I’ll fly behind you. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to find the lead beast by yourself,” Luo Lingxing said bluntly.
Although Han Junzhan’s cultivation level was similar to Luo Lingxing’s, Luo Lingxing was far superior to Han Junzhan in terms of practical combat experience. With his cooperation, they can find the leading beast much faster.
“If you fly directly in the air like that, everyone will see you.” Han Junzhan frowned, disagreeing with Luo Lingxing’s idea.
No one except the two of them knew that they could cultivate. Moreover, such a shocking fact would cause a great sensation if others find out. Even if the Han and Luo families could protect the two of them, it would bring them a lot of trouble.
Luo Lingxing’s use of spiritual power to fight wild beasts could be attributed to advanced techniques, but his ability to fly directly through the air cannot be explained by advanced techniques.
“Don’t worry, I have a way.” Luo Lingxing said confidently.
He could naturally have considered all these situations. If there weren’t solutions, why would he have made such a suggestion?
“What method?” Han Junzhan asked hurriedly.
“There are a lot of small and medium-sized wild beasts now, so the leader beast definitely won’t be in front. At first, I’ll stay in the mecha with you, and then I’ll come out when no one can see me anymore,” Luo Lingxing said.
They’d be out of sight of everyone if they go looking for the lead beast.
Han Junzhan thought about it and decided that it would be more reassuring to keep Luo Lingxing by his side than to leave him alone there, so he agreed to Luo Lingxing’s suggestion.
Han Junzhan was about to enter the mecha cabin with Luo Lingxing in his arms when he felt something grab his trouser leg. “Chirp chirp chirp!” Don’t get off me! I want to go with you too!
The little fox was jumping and leaping around, grabbing Han Junzhan’s trouser leg to prevent him from leaving, insisting that he take it with him if he wanted to go.
Han Junzhan frowned even more and said, “We’re going to find the alpha beast. If you don’t want to be eaten, you’d better stay here obediently.”
They couldn’t possibly take the little fox with them. After all, they couldn’t predict how dangerous the road ahead would be, and taking a little fox that had no fighting ability would only be a hindrance. Moreover, wild animals were unlikely to attack this place anytime soon, so the little fox was relatively safe here.
“Chirp chirp chirp!” I won’t let these beasts with such little strength eat me. I want to go too. I want to stay with my master. Don’t even think about leaving me behind!
The little fox cried even more urgently and kept trying to climb onto Luo Lingxing.
Luo Lingxing suddenly had a very subtle feeling. He seemed to suddenly sense the little fox’s inner thoughts, that feeling of not wanting to be abandoned and ridden again. This made his heart ache, as if he had “abandoned” the little fox once before, making him feel very guilty.
Why would he have such feelings when it was his first time interacting with the little fox? However, Luo Lingxing didn’t have time to think it over. He picked up the little fox and said to Han Junzhan, “Let’s take it with us for now. Let it stay in the mecha.”
Seeing this, Han Junzhan said nothing more and carried Luo Lingxing into the mecha.
Han Junzhan’s mecha was the most advanced mecha in the empire, equipped with the most complete equipment. As soon as his mecha appeared, the soldiers who were still fighting instantly became more motivated and motivated, and their morale was greatly boosted.
