67: Chapter 43 Mutual Prey_2 67: Chapter 43 Mutual Prey_2 The leading white bear charging at them stood five to six ters tall.
Perhaps it had just woken from hibernation, incredibly irritable, it seized two newcors and tore them to pieces on the spot.
On the other side, a golden bull, flas puffing from its mouth and nose, charged rampantly, impaling many of the Sanyan Sect with its horns, tossing them into the air.
Such alien species were not few in number.
Though different in kind, they showed no sign of fighting each other, and all were rushing towards the humans.
Mutated raptors in the sky provided support, with a huge silver eagle swooping down, instantaneously flipping open a Second-ti Rebirth’s skull.
“Initially, there were only a few alien species, not appearing en masse.
They were waiting for us to step in, aiming to hunt us down.”
An elder from Jinji Ridge spoke and leapt up, grabbing a twice-mutated owl vulture from midair and snapping its neck with one twist.
“What do we do now?”
Many were panicking, as the entrance to Dalie Valley had been blocked by a large number of alien species, which were surging towards the valley, with raptors surveilling from above.
…
“Sothing’s not right, there’s chaos on the ground.
Let’s hide quickly, use rocks to block those secret passages, and conceal all the escape routes.”
Underground, hunters from various villages, upon hearing the commotion, beca incredibly alert and sprung into action.
Qin Ming realized sothing was amiss imdiately.
Fearless, he could retreat towards the path bathed in Heavenly Light.
It was difficult for both Jinji Ridge and Sanyan Sect mbers as well as alien species to penetrate deeply into such places for long.
Above ground, large numbers of people from Jinji Ridge and the Sanyan Sect gathered together for defense.
At this mont, hearts were filled with trepidation, as alien species were everywhere.
“High-level Creatures wouldn’t personally co into play.
After all, they had promised the higher-ups of Chixia City not to hunt in the dark.
But releasing so mid to lower-level alien species over, that’s definitely no issue.”
Understanding this, everyone realized the severity of the situation.
The alien species had long been waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Blood Snakes, silver cals, and fiery red grass in the mountains held astonishing value to people from outside, containing rich Spiritual Material.
In the eyes of alien species in the mountains, so deep-rooted Two-legged Beasts were also red with envy, seen as “dicinal Herbs” that contained dense Spiritual elents.
“So, a large group of alien species ca not only eyeing mystical resources but also to hunt us, seeing us as spiritual creatures?”
“Exactly!”
In an instant, the faces of newcors from Jinji Ridge and the Sanyan Sect turned extrely ugly.
Weren’t they the first to bear the brunt, being stationed right at the mountain mouth?
“Deep high-level Creatures in the mountains wouldn’t dare let their alien subordinates eliminate all those who enter the mountains; that would completely enrage people like Lingxu City Lord, leading to a cold-blooded reprisal.
However, if the newcors here were reduced by one-fifth or one-fourth, then most likely there would be no issue.”
Suddenly, everyone’s faces went deathly pale.
If things continued to unfold this way, it would be utterly disastrous, and many were destined not to leave the mountains alive.
“Let’s retreat into the listone caves.
The surface is no longer safe.
Just relying on our two factions is not enough to match these alien species!” an elder from the Sanyan Sect suggested.
“Let’s go, get underground quickly!” These people imdiately sprang into action.
They used the narrow passages for defense, where it was easy to defend but hard to attack, making it tough for the alien species to break through.
However, like a spider web, the underground passages saw so alien species already adapted to subterranean warfare searching for ways, aiming to lead other mutated creatures along alternate routes to break in.
For a ti, both the surface and the underground were thrown into chaos.
Many newcors from Jinji Ridge and the Sanyan Sect rushed towards different passages, hoping to find a way that led outside Dalie Valley.
After all, this is the exit area.
…
“Such a coincidence?” Qin Ming caught sight of a familiar face, the Golden Chicken Knight who had tried to forcefully purchase Old Man Liu’s Spiritual Material, who had shown hostility towards him at the entrance of the valley.
“Is it you?” This Golden Chicken Knight had already abandoned his mount, wandering alone in the underground tunnel, looking for a way to escape.
“Co here!” He beckoned to Qin Ming and said, “Did you find any mysterious resources?
Also, you must have heard the disturbances from above, how is the terrain here?
Tell in detail.”
Qin Ming couldn’t be bothered to respond and walked over leisurely.
“Are you courting death?
Dilly-dallying, I’m asking you!” The Golden Chicken Knight’s eyes shone with a fierce light.
His malicious intentions were clear, having intended to put Qin Ming in a dangerous situation in the mines earlier, forcing him to be eroded by the Heavenly Light and die.
Now, he felt it wouldn’t matter if he killed him here directly—who would know?
Bla it on those Alien Species afterwards; there would be no evidence in death.
So, he didn’t hide his hostility and even lashed out with a whip.
He guessed that this youngster must have complained about him in front of Cao Long and Mu Qing, as they were the only other parties involved.
Naturally, Qin Ming wouldn’t let himself get hit, and parried with the long-handled Wujin Hamr he was carrying.
“How dare you resist?” His eyes were filled coldness, ready to strike again.
Qin Ming wasn’t one to be passive.
How could he tolerate this constant trampling over the line?
Swift as lightning, he thrust the Big Hamr forward.
With a bang, the Golden Chicken Knight saw stars, writhing in unbearable pain as the Wujin Hamr made intimate contact with his mouth and nose.
His front teeth fell out, his nose collapsed, and the world spun around him, nearly falling to the ground.
“Sorry, my hand slipped, couldn’t hold onto the hamr handle,” said Qin Ming.
“I…
knead mud!” Exclaid the Golden Chicken Knight, whistling through his missing teeth while cursing in his heart from extre anger, now making unclear pronunciations.
Enduring the pain in his face, with snot and tears streaming down, anger surged from within, and he drew his long blade to strike down this youngster.
He was a Second-ti Rebirth, naturally thinking he could easily kill a youngster who had only been through one rebirth.
However, before he could swing his long blade, his right hand felt a tearing pain, struck by the long-handled Wujin Hamr.
His flesh was mangled; the long blade dropped to the ground as his right hand spasd and twisted like the claw of the Golden Chicken he rode.
“So, it was this hand that gave Old Man Liu a Yellow Mud Palm, wasn’t it?
Then try my Wujin Fist,” Qin Ming wasted no more ti, brought down the long-handled Wujin Hamr on him several tis, smashing his face into a at pie.
His frontal bone collapsed, and the body fell to the ground dead.
Before dying, the Golden Chicken Knight couldn’t believe the situation—how could such an absurd thing happen?
He was a Second-ti Rebirth, but how could he not match the strength and speed of that youngster?
As his consciousness dissipated, he realized that the opponent had also undergone Second Rebirth and was much stronger than him!
Qin Ming dragged his corpse into an open area where Heavenly Light flowed, which was relatively safe at the mont.
“Hmm?” He suddenly turned around, seeing an old man walking out from another passageway, silently closing in on him.
“Who are you, and what are you doing?” The old man’s face was grim.
“I am from the Sanyan Sect.
I just saw this person being eroded by the Heavenly Light and passed out, and I was trying to save him,” Qin Ming replied.
With a boom, the old man’s feet exploded the hard ground beneath, charging fiercely with a faint white light around him, a sign of bodily Heavenly Light, indicating that he was a Third-ti Newcor.
He wasn’t easily fooled, and when he sensed sothing was amiss, he took action imdiately.
Even though it was just a youngster, he attacked ruthlessly.
Qin Ming knew he had encountered a formidable foe; he had never faced off against a Third Rebirth before.
“Let’s go for it—if I can kill an expert like you who has gone through Third Rebirth, maybe I can take out all of Jinji Ridge’s forces right here!” Qin Ming was determined to go all out and kill this elder.
