Chapter 5: Battle

If we do not resolve this high-level horse beast now, then when will we?

The recent battle with the high-level horse beasts has indeed cleared a considerable area, and the other low-level and mid-level horse beasts do not dare to approach for the time being, which allows Li Wei to take a brief respite.

Wow! What great strength!

Roar ~ ! ... ... ''

Immediately thereafter, a sound of painful shrieking was heard

The high-level ferocious beast is significantly more powerful than the mid-level ferocious beast. In a mere distance of over ten meters, this high-level horse beast rushed past in an instant, directly colliding with Li Wei Yi

This person is none other than Long Tian, one of the four district instructors of the Eastern District of the Survival Base No. 7 Practitioner Association

Immediately thereafter, Li Wei wielded his sword and struck, targeting the pair of front hooves of the horse beast.

Hiss ~ Roar ~

However, the strike that Li Wei Yi had just exchanged with the high-level horse beast was completely witnessed by a cultivator in blue battle attire not far away. This cultivator's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and after noting Li Wei Yi's appearance, he plunged back into the herd of horse beasts

A furious roar erupted, as the high-ranking beast intended to violently shake off the human clinging to its head.

Because Li Wei had already rushed out from beneath him early on

Li Wei raised his hand to catch the object, feeling its icy touch. It was a copper token, with the words "Cultivator Association Branch" engraved on the front and "East District Longtian" inscribed on the back

This time, the beast tide has nearly one hundred thousand horse beasts in the herd

Suddenly, the horse-like beast charging towards Li Weiyi leaped into the air, its powerful hooves rapidly descending upon Li Weiyi's body, determined to trample him into a pulp

Since the Neogene period, the evolution of terrestrial animals has become significantly more powerful. If we were to consider the cold weapons manufactured with the metallurgical technology of the time before the Neogene, they would absolutely be incapable of penetrating the hides of the ferocious beasts that exist today

Li Weiyi furrowed her brows and leaped up, gripping the battle knife tightly in both hands, and in an instant, she struck out.

... ...

Li Wei only did not understand why the instructor Long Tian from the East District would come to see him, thus he harbored doubts in his heart

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the beast tide army has been steadily defeated by the human cultivators. Following the slaying of the earth-level horse beast that led the horse herd by Lu Hong, the horse herd became headless and began to flee in all directions, being pursued and hunted by the cultivators.

However, before it could struggle any further, it was fatally stabbed in the head by a battle blade wielded by a cultivator who charged in from behind

At the moment when the high-level beast felt fear, Li Wei took the opportunity to leap up, driving his battle knife straight into the beast's eye, stopping just at the hilt.

Li Weiyi and the practitioner exchanged a tacit nod, and then each of them charged towards the nearby beast.

The four major district instructors hold positions just below the branch director in the practitioner association, making them figures of substantial authority, and their strength is quite remarkable

After slaying three mid-level horse beasts, a horse beast nearly five meters tall appeared before Li Wei

Li Weiwei watched Long Tian leave, feeling the cold touch of the token in his hand, with a fiery intensity flickering in his eyes

Faced with the hooves of the horse beast descending from the sky, Li Weiyi remained calm and composed, not dodging or retreating. With his battle knife raised horizontally, he swiftly turned and charged beneath the leaping horse beast

Thus, Li was able to easily thrust the battle knife in

At that moment, a practitioner dressed in blue battle attire suddenly appeared before Li Wei Yi, observing him with a look of appreciation.

However, this outburst of anger is destined to be in vain

Since the new era, the deterrent effect of conventional firearms against ferocious beasts has significantly diminished, apart from nuclear weapons. Consequently, scientists have devoted most of their efforts to the research and development of cold weapons to enhance the strength of practitioners

At the same time that the battle knife pierced the eye of the high-level horse beast, Li Wei was recklessly stirring the battle knife, destroying the brain tissue of the high-level horse beast

As Li Weiwei just rushed out from beneath the ferocious beast, he heard a loud "thud!" Without needing to look back, he already knew that the horse beast had lost its front hooves and fallen to the ground

There was no splatter of beast blood as imagined, but rather a dull sound was emitted

In the next moment, the battle blade struck directly at the head of the beast!

The horse-like beast galloped wildly, kicking away the two human cultivators that stood in its way, and then charged forward with its massive body towards Li Wei Yi, the human who had killed many of its companions and whom it regarded as relatively formidable.

With a low shout, Li Wei rushed once again towards the high-level horse beast.

Puff! ''

After another hour of finishing work, the crisis posed by the beast tide to the survival base has finally been completely resolved

Therefore, it can be said that in this beast tide, as long as there are no other powerful ferocious beasts hidden among the beast horde, with the strongest from Base One and the - Map - Book, along with a number of skilled human practitioners, humanity holds an absolute advantage.

The armpit of the equine beast is precisely where its weakness lies; this part of all equine beasts is exceedingly delicate, a fact discovered by our ancestors during their battles with it

His clothes were splattered with patches of bright red, which were indeed the blood of the horse.

And now, such an opportunity is right in front of him; how can he not be excited

After a moment, Li Wei found an opportunity, swiftly darting diagonally under the beast's body, leaping up, reversing his grip on the battle knife, and quickly stabbing it into the armpit of the beast's left front leg

The practitioner dressed in blue battle attire is the very person who previously noticed Li Wei Yi's clash with that high-level horse beast, where neither side gained the upper hand.

On the contrary, this has made the humans before it even more rampant

The alloy combat knife in Li Wei's hand right now is merely a low-level Class C combat knife, yet it can easily sever the four hooves of a mid-tier beast, demonstrating the sharpness of this knife

However, it had just wanted to shake its head vigorously when it suddenly realized that it was rapidly losing control over its body. Immediately afterward, its vision went dark, and its consciousness completely faded away

With two soft sounds, the battle blade swept through, and Li Wei had already dashed out from beneath the beast. The beast's pair of front hooves had been severed.

Because the human before it is exceedingly powerful, it feels a sense of fear

It must be a high-level beast if it can reach a height of 5 meters

Li Wei's battle knife slashed repeatedly, engaging in combat with the high-level horse beast. Although the battle knife struck the body of the horse beast, it did not even manage to break the skin of the beast.

After taking a long breath to expel the foul air, Li Wei finally dealt with this high-level horse beast

With the support of modern technology, the developed cold weapons have greatly increased in power, each one exceptionally sharp and also very durable

Li Weiyi once again charged to the side of this high-level horse beast, swinging his battle knife fiercely. The high-level horse beast let out a series of roars, yet it was utterly helpless.

One person, one fierce beast, fighting with great enthusiasm

Within the No. 7 Survival Base, there are over ten million inhabitants, with the number of practitioners nearing three hundred thousand. Excluding the necessary defensive forces on the other three sides, there are approximately two hundred thousand practitioners here to confront the beast tide army.

As the saying goes, take advantage of your illness to take your life

Gathering his emotions, Li Wei Yi tucked the token into his pocket and concealed it well, then charged once more into the beast horde

Bang

Continuing on, the body of the high-level horse beast collapsed with a loud crash, stirring up a cloud of dust

However, the advanced horse beast was halted in its charge by this single strike from Li Wei Yi, while Li Wei Yi himself was sent tumbling through the air several times before landing steadily on the ground, a distance of over ten meters away from the advanced horse beast

As he spoke, Long Tian casually threw an object towards Li Wei Yi

It is merely the fear of the high-level beast, yet it cannot provide any assistance to it

His diligent cultivation is aimed at joining a certain power, so that his family can attain a better living environment and improved living conditions

Hmm! Long Tian slightly nodded, expressing appreciation as he spoke: "Once this beast tide subsides, if you are interested in joining the Cultivators' Association, bring this token to the Eastern District to find me"

If it were not for my significant improvement in strength, I truly would not be able to handle this beast of a horse

Without waiting for Li Wei to speak, Long Tian had already departed, once again plunging into the midst of the beast horde

In just a few short minutes of close combat with these horse beasts, Li Wei Yi has already slain no fewer than ten of them

Two different races, one is a ferocious beast and the other is humanity, one comes to destroy while the other is here to protect. When the two meet, it is as if water flows and fierce fire converge, resulting in an intense reaction

Li Weiyi looked up at the person, slightly surprised and somewhat puzzled, and said: "Instructor Long!?"

Hiss~!

Next comes the work of providing compensation to the families of the deceased and treating the injured, however, these matters are to be handled by the senior officials of the three major factions

Li Wei drew his sword and, with a somersault, landed in front of the high-level horse beast

Roar

Call ~ ! ''

The battle knife was instantly drawn from the corpse of the horse beast, and Li Wei had no time to think, directly pouncing towards another horse beast that was charging at him.

The high-level horse beast, in pain, raised its four hooves to angrily stomp the ground beneath it, vowing to trample Li Wei Yi into a pulp to vent the hatred in its heart

However, although the beast skin could not be cut through, the force with which Li Wei wielded his knife against the high-level beast caused it to roar in pain, further provoking the ferocity of the high-level beast

Immediately, Li Wei Yi kicked the forelimbs of the high-tier beast with both legs, using the force to tightly grip the battle knife and slash. In an instant, blood from the beast sprayed out, and a long gash was cut into the beast's abdomen, while Li Wei Yi had already dashed out from beneath the beast.

Li Wei's only battle knife did not inflict any substantial damage on the beast, merely severing a few strands of mane from its head
