Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 44: Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm!

Puchi!

Raising his hand and with a slash, Qi Ling dealt with the advanced-level beast soldier in front of him, then looked towards Lin Ye with some concern.

That was a saber-toothed giant wolf of the advanced-level beast general class, far from being something a martial artist of the same level could contend with.

But when he saw Lin Ye, he was completely stunned.

The giant wolf within his sight was being toyed with by Lin Ye, its attacks fierce and aggressive each time.

What frustrated the giant wolf was that Lin Ye's movements were nimble, always avoiding the attacks in advance.

Time and time again, the saber-toothed giant wolf's attacks were like punches thrown into thin air.

In contrast, Lin Ye's eyes seemed to lack any emotion, exuding a cold killing intent.

"A seasoned veteran of the wilderness!"

The thought suddenly popped into Qi Ling's head. His pupils constricted slightly as he stared at Lin Ye with a hint of fear.

Lin Ye's swaying figure seemed to lack any pattern, even somewhat arbitrary and unrestrained.

But it was this effortless movement that directly caused every attack of the advanced-level beast general to miss.

Although the saber-toothed giant wolf was not adept at speed, its agility was not something ordinary martial artists of the same level could match.

However, when facing Lin Ye, it was like an animal in a circus, frequently making a fool of itself.

On the other side, Yang Xiao also noticed Lin Ye's movements.

He exchanged a glance with Qi Ling, and the thought involuntarily arose in their minds at the same time: "Perfect-level footwork!"

Awoo!

Before they could recover, they heard a miserable howl resound.

A bright and clear blade of light slashed directly at the giant wolf's throat.

"Ten Severing Strikes - Third Strike!"

Lin Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and in an instant, his body erupted with three consecutive bursts of power.

Three new forces transformed into hidden energy, converging on this strike that was already delivered with full power.

Whoosh!

The blade of light tore through the air, creating a sharp sound of rushing wind.

An attack comparable to that of a beginner-level War God was unleashed by Lin Ye with astonishing speed.

Hua!

The cold light flashed and vanished in an instant, directly striking the vital point.

At the critical moment of life and death, the advanced-level beast general subconsciously tilted its head, trying to avoid the strike.

However, Lin Ye's blade was not something that could be avoided so easily.

Puchi!

Blood splattered as Lin Ye's battle blade deeply cut into the giant wolf's neck.

With a twist of his wrist, he extinguished its last bit of life.

Kacha cha!!

Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds that made one's teeth ache, this behemoth completely fell to the ground.

[Killed an advanced-level beast general, gaining two hundred attribute points!]

"Panel, add them for me!"

Lin Ye glanced at the giant wolf whose life aura was like a flickering candle flame and silently muttered in his heart.

In the next instant, two hundred attribute points directly transformed into 4000kg of strength and 40m/s of speed, making Lin Ye even stronger.

At the same time, the saber-toothed giant wolf lying on the ground stared fiercely at Lin Ye, with intense unwillingness remaining in its eyes.

It had only come out to hunt for food in the middle of the night, so how could it encounter such a terrifying human, a disaster from the sky.

The giant wolf head drooped weakly, with dark red blood constantly seeping from the corner of its mouth.

Before its death, it recalled its short life - it had not become a lord-level beast, it had not succeeded in finding a mate and had not left any offspring, and even its teeth had been cut off by the hateful human...

Gradually, the giant wolf's eyes turned gray.

Lin Ye stood with his blade, watching the others still fighting fiercely in the beast herd, and gently wiped the blood from his battle blade.

Swoosh!

In the next second, Lin Ye transformed into a blur and rushed towards the wild boar herd...

With Lin Ye's addition, the pig-like monsters were quickly slaughtered.

"Captain, this time we killed one advanced-level beast general, one intermediate-level beast general, three beginner-level beast generals, and thirty beast soldiers!"

Xiao Qi said excitedly, his eyes scanning the advanced-level beast general that was like a small mountain from time to time, his eyes bright, and said excitedly: "Can I taste its meat?"

"Suit yourself! We only have ten minutes to rest." Qi Ling glanced at the still excited team member Xiao Qi, and said helplessly.

Then, Qi Ling took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Lin Ye,

"Want to smoke this?"

"I'm only seventeen years old, minors can't smoke!"

Lin Ye glanced at the cigarette in Qi Ling's hand, smiled and shook his head.

"Haha... You didn't look like a minor when you were fighting the saber-toothed giant wolf!"

Yang Xiao joked,

"Haha... I'm used to it." Lin Ye also laughed.

"Vice-Captain Lin, your speed and footwork are so amazing, can you teach me?" The female warrior carrying the alloy box containing the large sniper rifle quietly leaned over.

"Hmm?"

Lin Ye sized up the girl and nodded gently: "Practice the footwork 'Shattered Shadows' in the 'Nine Brilliance Sutra' more and pay attention to maintaining your center of gravity when shifting positions..."

"Just like that giant wolf just now, if my sudden attack hadn't disrupted its center of gravity, I'm afraid the difficulty of killing it would have increased a bit," Lin Ye said with a smile.

It seemed that killing an advanced-level beast general was a trivial matter to him.

"You killed a saber-toothed giant wolf in full condition like that, I'm afraid only a War God can do it so sharply, you're really strong!"

Yang Xiao walked over and patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, sighing with emotion.

"Of course we have to grab them, the materials of advanced-level beast generals are walking wealth."

Lin Ye also joked, he looked at the corpses all over the ground and asked, "How are these monster materials handled?"

"Just mark them, someone from the transport team will collect them later, we just kill the monsters, there will be military merit records... then whether you want to exchange them for money or contribution points, it's up to you!"

"Hmm, I know." Lin Ye nodded.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

After the break, Yang Xiao left a special mark on the monster corpses and started on the road again...

Time passed quickly on the road.

Gradually, a hint of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon.

At this time, Lin Ye and his party left the highway and ran along a national highway.

On both sides were canyons about a hundred meters high, with dense trees and pleasant scenery.

In the middle of the canyon was a national highway by a small river, the old asphalt road silently telling its vicissitudes.

If it weren't for the monsters appearing, this would definitely be a great tourist destination.

Looking at the scenery of the mountains, all the members of the Lingxiao Squad were in a happy mood, and even quickened their pace.

Along the way, they encountered several beast herds, but they were all resolved one by one.

The one who contributed the most was naturally Lin Ye, the newly joined vice-captain.

There was even a moment when they had the illusion that following Lin Ye made killing monsters much easier.

With the killing of beast generals one after another, they accumulated a lot of military merits.

Including the two captains, all the team members developed admiration for Lin Ye, and regarded him as the leader of the team.

"Let's rest here!"

Finding a mountain spring by the roadside, Lin Ye arranged for everyone to stop and rest.

But just as they put down their equipment to rest, a slight vibration gradually came from the ground.

Lin Ye was the first to notice this clue, and vaguely felt something was wrong.

Looking up.

On the national highway in the southwest direction, several figures were running for their lives, their speed was very fast, almost bursting out to the limit.

"What's the situation? Why are they running away?" Just as Xiao Qi was looking at the people behind them in confusion, his mouth suddenly opened to the maximum.

Not far behind these people was a group of dark red ant monsters, each monster was about forty centimeters in size, larger than a laptop.

But it was this herd of thousands of small monsters that made those martial artists run for their lives.

"Ahhh!!"

A heart-wrenching scream sounded, and the two martial artists who fell behind were submerged by the beast herd.

Boom boom!!

Two violent explosions rang out one after another, blasting the surrounding monsters to death and injury.

Despite this, it still did not produce the slightest obstacle to the pursuit of this beast herd, and the corpses of their companions instead stimulated their ferocity even more!

"This is... the Bloodthirsty Ant Swarm?"

Qi Ling looked at the monsters like a red tide and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
