MMB Chapter 16 Slaying a Tier 4 King-Level Beast
Chapter 16 Slaying a Tier 4 King-Level Beast
It was even larger than Ye Feng had perceived.
It was over four meters long and one and a half meters tall at the shoulder, and its whole body exuded a strong smell of blood.
Its eyes were blood red, like two burning flames.
But strangely, it had a horrific wound on its abdomen.
Extending from the left rib to the right waist, the skin and flesh are turned outwards, and the internal organs can be vaguely seen inside.
Even so, its imposing aura was still overwhelming.
Late stage of the fourth tier.
This is a completely different concept from third-order.
Zhao Tieshan's hand, gripping the broadsword, was trembling.
This wasn't fear on his part; it was simply the physiological reaction of a low-level martial artist facing a high-level beast.
"Ye Feng," Zhao Tieshan's voice was hoarse, "You four split up and run away, I'll hold it off for now."
The four members of Team Leader Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Laoda is prepared to sacrifice himself to give them a chance to escape.
Although the chances are slim!
"Listen to me!" Zhao Tieshan roared, "We can't handle a late-stage fourth-tier monster. I'll hold it off, you guys run. Every one of you who can escape is a winner."
He turned his head and looked at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with a resolute look.
"Kid, you're the most talented young man I've ever seen. Don't die here."
After saying that, he gripped his saber and charged toward the Bloodthirsty War Wolf.
"Come on, you beast!"
The Bloodthirsty Wolf glanced at him with its blood-red eyes, as if looking at a moth drawn to a flame.
It didn't move.
Zhao Tieshan's sword struck its head, but the Bloodthirsty War Wolf didn't even blink.
It simply patted it lightly with its wolf paw.
"Bang!"
Zhao Tieshan was sent flying, knife and all, crashing through a crumbling wall and landing in a pile of rubble, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Run!" Zhao Tieshan struggled to his feet from the rubble, his face covered in blood. "Run!"
Old Ma and his two companions exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, turned around, and ran away in different directions.
But Ye Feng did not run away.
He knew he couldn't run; these bloodthirsty war wolves were too fast, and running away from them would be suicide.
It's better to fight head-on to the death!
Besides, this beast was already seriously injured, fighting to the very end.
It's still uncertain who will die.
He stood still, staring at the Bloodthirsty War Wolf, his fingers resting on the hilt of his knife.
"Hey kid, what are you doing?! Run!" Zhao Tieshan roared.
Ye Feng did not answer.
His mental perception was fully activated, scanning the entire body of the Bloodthirsty War Wolf.
The fourth-tier late-stage beasts have skin as hard as steel plates, and ordinary attacks cannot penetrate their defenses.
However, it has one weakness: the wound on its abdomen.
The wound was deep, cutting through the abdominal muscles, leaving only a thin membrane protecting the internal organs.
If we could find a way to finish off that wound, we might actually be able to kill this fourth-tier beast king.
But the problem is, how do we get close to the wound of that bloodthirsty war wolf?
The Bloodthirsty Wolf seemed to notice Ye Feng's gaze.
Its eyes narrowed slightly, and it let out a low growl.
It quickly pounced on Ye Feng.
The speed was unbelievable.
But Ye Feng reacted even faster.
Instantly activates the purple-colored entry 【Instant】.
An eight-meter thrust.
His body vanished from its spot, passing through the claws of the bloodthirsty war wolf and reappearing beneath its belly.
Sword Drawing Technique, Instant Slash!
Ye Feng seized the opportunity and swung his knife to strike.
The blade cut into the wound, tearing away the last membrane.
The bloodthirsty wolf's internal organs were exposed to the air, and blood and bodily fluids gushed out, drenching Ye Feng.
"Aww!"
The bloodthirsty war wolf let out a painful howl, its body suddenly rolled over, and its sharp claws swept across.
Ye Feng had no time to retreat and was swept by the claw wind, flying more than ten meters away and crashing into a stone pillar.
He felt a sharp pain in his back; at least two of his ribs were broken.
But the blue "Regeneration" ability was activated immediately.
Ye Feng's broken bones healed within seconds, and his torn muscles regrowed.
Ye Feng got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He looked extremely disheveled!
But the situation of the Bloodthirsty Wolf is worse than his.
The wound on its abdomen was completely torn open, and its intestines were exposed.
But it is not dead yet.
The vitality of a late-stage fourth-tier fighter far exceeds expectations. Even after suffering such severe injuries, it still possesses formidable combat power.
It stared at Ye Feng with its blood-red eyes, opened its blood-red maw, and revealed its gleaming white fangs.
They pounced again.
Ye Feng dodged to the side, and his longsword left a wound on its foreleg.
But only the skin and fur were cut open; the bones were not damaged.
It's too hard.
His attack power is insufficient.
Although the sword-drawing technique is powerful, it's like stabbing a rhinoceros with a dagger when it comes to a late-stage fourth-tier beast—it can break the skin but doesn't damage the core.
We must find another way.
Ye Feng used the [Lingbo Weibu] technique while pondering.
In his mental perception, he "saw" the condition inside the Bloodthirsty Wolf.
My heart was pounding violently in my chest, my lungs were expanding and contracting with each breath, and something was moving in my liver, kidneys, and stomach.
It's a pebble!
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.
If he could manipulate those pebbles with his mental power, wouldn't that be...?
The bloodthirsty war wolf pounced again. This time, Ye Feng didn't dodge, but met it head-on.
Just as the bloodthirsty wolf's claws were about to strike him, he activated the purple attribute [Instant].
An eight-meter thrust!
Ye Feng slid directly under its claws and came back to its belly.
The long sword slashed out, adding another wound to his abdomen.
But this is not the point.
The key point is that when he passed through the belly of the Bloodthirsty War Wolf, he unleashed his full mental power to control the stone in his stomach.
The pebble moved.
It punched a hole in the stomach wall and entered the abdominal cavity. Then, under Ye Feng's mental control, it shot towards the heart like a bullet.
The bloodthirsty wolf's body suddenly stiffened.
A look of confusion flashed in its eyes, then turned into fear.
The pebble struck his heart.
The first contraction caused the heart muscle to contract violently, and the Bloodthirsty Wolf's body began to spasm.
The second time, the pericardium ruptured, and blood rushed into the chest cavity.
The third time, the ventricular wall was breached.
Bloodthirsty Wolf's limbs began to weaken, his body swayed, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Its blood-red eyes stared at Ye Feng, filled with resentment.
[Slayed a late-stage Tier 4 Bloodthirsty War Wolf, gaining 1000 kill points.]
[Defeat a late-stage Tier 4 beast to obtain a Talent Upgrade Scroll (Note: This scroll can upgrade any talent to a purple talent skill)]
[First kill of a Tier 4 beast, reward: 3 achievement points.]
Current kill count: 2480 points.
Current achievement points: 6.
The ruins were eerily quiet.
Zhao Tieshan stood in the pile of rubble, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his face, staring at Ye Feng with his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
Old Ma's crossbow fell to the ground without him noticing. Hong Gu's crossbow slipped from her hand, but she didn't pick it up either.
Ah Kun sat on the ground, his glasses askew, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, like a fish thrown ashore.
Bloodthirsty War Wolf in the late stage of Tier 4.
He was solo killed by a second-tier young man.
"You…" Zhao Tieshan's voice seemed to be squeezed out from deep in his throat, "What kind of monster are you?"
Ye Feng did not answer. He sheathed his long sword, walked to the corpse of the Bloodthirsty War Wolf, and squatted down to examine it.
The old wound on his abdomen was not caused by him.
The edges of the wound were clean, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon. Only a fourth-level martial artist could achieve this level of skill.
"Captain Zhao, we didn't inflict this wound."
Zhao Tieshan walked over, glanced at it, and frowned: "Someone injured it first. And judging from the cut, it was a master."
"Who can wound a late-stage Tier 4 Bloodthirsty War Wolf in the wilderness?"
"The Night's Watch," Zhao Tieshan said. "Only the Night's Watch's vanguard has that capability."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of an engine came from outside the ruins.
Several black SUVs were parked at the edge of the ruins. The doors opened, and several people got out. They were all dressed in uniform black combat suits, with weapons hanging at their waists and an insignia of a sword piercing the moon embroidered on their chests.
Night Watch Vanguard Battalion.
The leader was a man in his thirties with a square face, a buzz cut, and sharp eyes.
Ye Feng recognized him.
He was the captain of the Night Watch squad that we met on the road earlier.
He walked to the corpse of the Bloodthirsty War Wolf, glanced at it, and then looked up at Ye Feng.
"You killed them?"
Ye Feng stood up and met his gaze: "It has been seriously injured."
"Severely injured, also late-stage fourth rank." The man squatted down to examine the Bloodthirsty War Wolf's wounds, especially the fatal wound in its abdomen, which had pierced its heart from the inside.
He raised his head and looked Ye Feng up again, his eyes revealing something he hadn't seen before.
"How did you do that?"
Ye Feng did not answer.
The man didn't ask any further questions. He stood up, took a metal badge from his pocket, and tossed it to Ye Feng.
"A preparatory badge for the Night's Watch Vanguard. With this, you can report directly without taking an exam."
Ye Feng caught the badge and glanced at it.
"I already have a guaranteed admission spot."
The man paused for a moment, then laughed.
"That's even better. See you at the Vanguard Battalion."
He turned around and led his team into the car. The SUV started and quickly disappeared into the ruins.
Old Ma came closer and stared wide-eyed at the badge in Ye Feng's hand.
"A spot in the Night Watch Vanguard Camp without an exam... You're rich, kid."
Ye Feng put the badge away without saying a word.
He glanced at the kill count on the system panel: 3480 points.
However, the third tier requires a cultivation technique, which he doesn't have yet. Therefore, he can't use these kill points for the time being.
But it's okay.
The Vanguard Camp Trials are just around the corner; there will be plenty of opportunities then.
