The wilderness was vast.
Although the gray area of the wilderness was relatively safe, there would occasionally be traces of powerful Bug Beasts near the border of the blue area. These Bug Beasts usually had the strength of Class 3 and above. They were the nightmare of most Wilderness Hunters.
Therefore, every Wilderness Hunter would try their best to stay away from the blue area when hunting. It was an unspoken rule that no one was willing to encounter those powerful Bug Beasts because it meant death!
However, today, a motorcycle with a metal punk style broke the peace of this area. A man wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket was driving a black motorcycle. Not only was he driving on the border of the blue and gray areas, but he was also provocatively turning up the volume of the car's stereo to the maximum. Heavy metal rock music was blaring all the way.
Not far behind him, a dark green jeep was trailing far behind. It was almost pressing on the motorcycle's ruts.
In the jeep's driver's seat, a middle-aged man wearing a gray combat uniform was driving the jeep forward with a serious expression. The front passenger seat was deliberately flat. A woman in a white shirt, blue jeans, and long black leather boots was lying in it. She had a coffee-colored hat covering her face. Occasionally, a strand of her long blonde hair would flutter gently under the hat's brim.
"Why did the higher-ups send Su Li here?" The middle-aged man frowned and asked.
"Is there a problem?" The woman's hoarse voice came from under the hat.
"His mission is to protect you, but he deliberately walked on the border of the blue area to attract the attention of the Bug Beasts. There are at least four Bug Beasts trailing behind us now. There's even a Class 4 Bloodlust Beast that could attack at any time!"
The man's voice had a hint of obvious anger, but there was no trace of concern for his safety. It was as if he did not take the Class 4 Bug Beasts seriously at all.
"It's just a Bloodlust Beast. Don't worry about it. Su Li can handle it," the woman said calmly.
"He's been in solitary confinement for a month. It's rare for him to come out and get some fresh air. He'll definitely find an excuse to stretch his body. These Bug Beasts are his targets on purpose."
"But he shouldn't have left us behind as bait!" The middle-aged man's face was sullen.
"Once the Bloodlust Beast attacks, even if he turns back to help, it'll be too late."
"Aren't you still in the car?" The woman stretched her arms and put her hands behind her head.
"With Su Li's bad taste, when another Class 4 insectoid follows us, he'll definitely slow down on purpose to create a chance for the insectoid to sneak attack us. Then, he'll deliberately slow down for two beats and wait for us to panic and shout for help. Then, he'll suddenly attack at the last moment and turn the tide."
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, as if there was something stuck in his chest that he couldn't let out.
"Isn't he worried that you might get hurt?"
"If he was worried about this kind of thing, he wouldn't have been confined last time!
For this escort mission, the bottom line that Su Li set for himself is probably to let me go back alive. As for whether I will be injured or not, it is certainly not within his consideration. "
"How far is Blackstone Town?" The woman suddenly asked.
"At the current speed, there's about an hour left!"
"Only an hour left, huh?" The woman muttered to herself.
"Be mentally prepared. The insectoid following us is about to attack!"
The middle-aged man's expression turned serious. Although he was not afraid of the Class 4 Bloodlust, Tanqiu, who was in the passenger seat, would not be able to withstand the Bloodlust's powerful ability. Once the Bloodlust approached a certain distance, Tanqiu, who was only Class 3, would most likely be controlled by the Bloodlust's blood and instantly turn into a dried corpse.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt that the speed of the car seemed to have slowed down a lot. He glanced at the dashboard and realized that the speed of the car had decreased to only 60 km/h. He was instantly enraged!
At this speed, he could no longer distance himself from the Bloodlust. From the rearview mirror, he could vaguely see that the Bloodlust was accelerating. This was a sign that it was about to launch a surprise attack!
He stepped on the accelerator, and the engine roared louder. However, the speed of the jeep did not increase. Instead, it decreased a little.
Su Li had made his move!
His target was not the insectoid that was following them, but the jeep that he was driving!
Only a mechanic like Su Li could control his car's speed from a distance!
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, then picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and roared, "Su Li, if Tanqiu is injured, I will strip you naked and hang you at the gate of the shelter!"
After a while, a lazy voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"What are you talking about? The signal is bad. I can't hear you!"
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched. He resisted the urge to step on the accelerator and kill Su Li. He suppressed the anger in his heart and growled,
"The insectoid that is chasing us is the Bloodlust. Once it gets close, Tanqiu's life will be in danger!"
"What the hell is this?
Why is there no sound at all?
Beep beep beep — "
Su Li hung up the walkie-talkie.
The middle-aged man's veins were bulging on his forehead. Just as he was about to rage, he realized that the jeep had suddenly turned off. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a blood-red Bloodlust with short limbs. It had opened its body, revealing the wing membranes that connected its limbs to its body. It was gliding toward the jeep at high speed.
"You drive. I'll go kill this Bloodlust!
Don't let it get any closer! "
The middle-aged man punched the steering wheel. He suddenly opened the driver's door and jumped out.
Bang!
The moment the man's feet touched the ground, he bent his body slightly and then stomped hard. His feet left two deep pits on the ground. A circle of dust spread out in all directions. He did not stop at all and rushed toward the Bloodlust.
The man's momentum was like a rainbow. A sharp killing intent instantly locked onto the Bloodlust that was coming toward him.
The Bloodlust that was gliding close to the ground suddenly had its hair stand on end. It was as if it had encountered a powerful enemy.
It stretched out its short limbs and tapped lightly on the ground. Its petite body, which was as small as a ferret, instantly drew an arc, bypassing the middle-aged man who was charging at it, and flew towards the jeep that was getting slower and slower.
"Damn it!"
The middle-aged man looked at the jeep that had almost stopped and realized that Tanqiu had not changed to the driver's seat. He suddenly growled and stomped hard on the ground with his right foot. A powerful force gushed out in an instant. A circle of spiderweb-like cracks spread out from the tip of his foot.
His burly body that was sprinting at high speed made a sharp turn and rushed toward the Bloodlust that had bypassed him.
At the same time, a blue thunderbolt appeared in his hand and spread along his arms to his legs. It was as if a Brontosaurus was lingering on his body.
The burly man's speed increased sharply as he was surrounded by thunderbolts. In an instant, he pulled out a flickering shadow and caught up with the Bloodlust that was gliding rapidly.
"Die!"
The burly man growled. His fist that was surrounded by thunderbolts suddenly blasted out. The whistling of the air was mixed with a sizzling sound. This was a powerful punch that was intertwined with strength and thunderbolts!
The Bloodlust clearly sensed the threat coming from behind. It let out a sharp cry from the depths of its throat. A cloud of blood-colored mist quickly spurted out from the gaps of its fine red hair and shrouded its body in layers.
The blood-colored mist was so dense that it looked like a cloud of blood that was condensed in the void. The Bloodlust twisted its body and quickly disappeared into the blood-colored mist that was spreading.
The burly man did not move at all. His fist that was covered in thunderbolts suddenly hit the dispersing blood-colored mist.
The blood-colored mist seemed to be formless and intangible. However, it had a strange force field that actually blocked the penetration of the fist. Both sides were in a deadlock in mid-air.
Under the corrosion of the blood-colored mist, the blue thunderbolt was quickly dyed red. There was a faint trend of it changing into a scarlet thunderbolt.
The burly man snorted coldly. An even more violent thunderbolt surged out of his body and flowed into his right hand like a tide.
The scarlet color in the thunderbolt suddenly faded. Under the violent fist, a wisp of azure thunderbolt suddenly exploded. Amidst the crackling of the thunderbolt, the blood-colored mist was torn apart. More than half of it was wiped out by the destructive power of the thunderbolt.
Chirp chirp!
A wisp of the remaining blood-colored mist escaped and quickly condensed into the figure of the Bloodlust not far away. Compared to before, the Bloodlust that condensed again was obviously smaller and thinner.
The hair on the Bloodlust's body stood on end. A pair of mung-bean-sized eyes stared at the burly man. Its eyes were filled with a kind of fear and hatred!
"Little thing!
You're lucky!
You're actually able to withstand this punch! "
The burly man laughed heartily as his fighting spirit soared. He had already regarded this Blood Source Beast, which had withstood his punch, as a powerful enemy that was on par with him.
Chirp — Chirp — Hiss — Hiss — Roar —
The Bloodlust's form suddenly changed. Its body swelled like a balloon. Its small head turned into a ferocious beast with ferocious fangs. The hair on its body turned into ferocious bone spurs. Its short limbs quickly elongated and grew hard scales and sharp claws. The sound that came from its throat also gradually changed. Soon, it became a low and angry roar!
In just two seconds, the Bloodlust that looked like a ferret quickly turned into a ferocious insect beast that was as large as a Corrupt Wolf!
Seeing this scene, the burly man was not afraid. Instead, he became even more excited. He looked at the Bloodlust as if he was looking at a precious treasure!
"You've actually swallowed the blood of so many insect beasts. Your Insect Core must be good!"
Roar!
As a Rank 4 insect beast, the Bloodlust had intelligence that was not inferior to that of ordinary humans. It could completely understand human language. It was quickly angered by the man's provocation. It let out a low and angry roar from the depths of its throat and charged toward the burly man.
Blood mist and lightning intertwined. The fierce battle destroyed everything around them.
The pursuing insect beasts carefully bypassed the area where the two men were fighting and surrounded the jeep that was parked in front. Soon, three bone-tailed beasts that were close to two meters tall surrounded the jeep.
In the passenger seat, Tanqiu was not afraid. Instead, he opened the window and observed the bone-tailed beasts that were slowly approaching with great interest.
The bone-tailed beast had strong limbs and a mouth full of fangs that split open like a flower full of teeth. Dark green mucus gushed out from the wriggling muscles in its mouth and dripped down along the fine gaps between its teeth. However, the most eye-catching part of the bone-tailed beast was its slender tail. The tail that was more than three meters long was like a series of metal chains that swung gently against the ground. At the end of the tail was a black tail hammer that was the size of a skull. That was its most powerful attack. With a single strike of the tail hammer, the powerful force was enough to completely penetrate the jeep!
Even a Rank 3 Extraordinaire in the Combat Domain would not be willing to fight a bone-tailed beast at close range. The tail hammer that could swing rapidly was simply a nightmare for close-range Extraordinaires!
The bone-tailed beast was getting closer and closer. It looked like it was about to enter the ambush range, but Tanqiu did not care at all. At that moment, Su Li, who was walking in front, suddenly drove his motorcycle into the bone-tailed beast's encirclement. After a beautiful drift, he stopped the motorcycle next to the passenger seat of the jeep.
"Hey!
Do you need help? "
Su Li whistled frivolously. His eyes swept over Tanqiu's body unscrupulously, paying particular attention to her heavy chest.
Tanqiu did not seem to notice his gaze. Instead, she stretched lazily, showing off her infinitely beautiful curves.
"How do you want to help?"
Su Li's eyes almost popped out. He could not help but gulp.
"I like you. How about being my woman?"
Tanqiu's eyes flashed. She casually put on the coffee-colored hat to cover her blonde hair that was dancing in the wind.
"I don't like weak men!"
Su Li patted his chest hard.
"I'm a Rank 4 Mechanic who passed the Walker's Trial. My endurance will definitely satisfy you!"
"Is that so?" Tanqiu covered her mouth and chuckled. "Then I'll have to take a good look!"
Su Li jumped off the motorcycle as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He then casually patted the front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle that was full of metal punk style seemed to come alive. The middle area suddenly collapsed inwards, and the parts on both sides quickly spread along his right hand to his body. In less than two seconds, the motorcycle disappeared into thin air. What replaced it was a black mech that covered half of Su Li's body!
Su Li looked up at the sky forty-five degrees and made a showy pose.
"This is the latest half-covered mech that the Machinery Institute is preparing to release. It's the symbol of strength and slaughter, the favorite of all Mechanics — Dark Judgment!"
"Watch me tear these bone-tailed beasts apart, and then we'll have a good time!"
"Then we'll have a competition to see who can kill faster. If you win, I'll be your woman. How about that?"
"Of course!"
Sure enough, no woman can block my handsome face!
Su Li smiled confidently.
You're about to become my woman, and you're still playing this reserved game!
Although you said you wanted to compete, you didn't say what would happen if I lost. Obviously, you've already agreed that I'll win!
However, Su Li then felt that something was not right.
"Do you have a gun? These bone-tailed beasts are very destructive. It's best not to let them get close!"
"I don't need a gun. I have this!"
Tanqiu took out a black game controller and waved it in front of Su Li.
