Chapter 015: Just Want to Kill Him

As soon as they entered the territory, the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf's gaze fixated on the people it had previously chosen. With a leap, it pounced toward them.

This time, there was no protective shield in front of them. The massive body of the Dark Demon Wolf fell, and its front paws immediately pinned down two people, thoughtlessly snapping their necks before hungrily lowering its head to devour them.

As it ate, its blood bar invisibly increased somewhat.

Some people, seeing this for the first time, immediately vomited.

But the demon beasts wouldn't give them a chance to react. Other Dark Demon Wolves that entered with the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf also followed suit and began a slaughter.

Thanks to the past two days' experience in hunting demon beasts, some people reacted and immediately grouped together with weapons to fight.

However, not everyone had the mental fortitude; facing the demon beasts that intruded into what they thought was a safe territory, their minds were consumed with one thought: escape.

Ironically, the instinctive behavior of the demon wolves was to target those who ran first.

Several people who tried to escape were almost instantly overtaken by the Dark Demon Wolves, knocked down, and devoured, a thick scent of blood permeating the air, turning it into a veritable hell on Earth.

When Zhou Bai and Li Xingteng returned to the territory, this was the scene they encountered, and their expressions turned ugly, especially when seeing the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf that killed and ate one after another, essentially turning this place into its hunting ground. Its recklessness induced even more panic, with people desperate to escape from its vicinity, causing chaos.

If not managed, the situation would only worsen!

At that moment, the system sent a notification to Zhou Bai.

[The fence has been fully repaired; the real-time mode continues.]

[Dear Host, your territory has been invaded by demon beasts. Please eliminate them as soon as possible.]

[Note: If there are no survivors in the territory, it means the territory has been breached, and the territory will disappear.]

Seeing the system's alerts, Zhou Bai backhandedly dealt with a Dark Demon Wolf that tried to pounce on him and then looked back.

Seeing the fence indeed repaired, Zhou Bai felt slightly relieved; it would be much harder for the Dark Demon Wolves outside to break through the fence, so as long as the demon beasts inside the territory were dealt with, the crisis could be overcome.

In the next moment, Zhou Bai loudly instructed, "The territory fence has been repaired, everyone please make an effort to kill the demon beasts within the territory."

Upon completion of his words, everyone heard and subconsciously checked outside, indeed seeing many Dark Demon Wolves blocked outside.

Li Xingteng, understanding the significance of Zhou Bai's words, also quickly voiced a warning, "Among us are Level 5 individuals who can handle that Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf. Just focus on dealing with the other demon beasts."

Li Xingteng's words reassured many who were worried about facing the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, and they started to help direct some newly arrived survivors.

"Yes! Don't run! Don't just stand there! Pick up your weapons and kill!"

"If you don't fight back, there is only one consequence—death."

"Do you want to just die, or do you want to strive to live?"

"Form teams with the people next to you, back to back, and aim your weapons at the demon beasts."

"..."

More and more people took command, and slowly, order was restored at the scene. Facing the ravenous Dark Demon Beasts, their counterattacks grew more forceful.

For a moment, casualties began to decrease.

Watching everyone slowly find their rhythm, Zhou Bai's attention was fully on the Level 5 Dark Demon Beast.

After consuming some humans, the aura of the Level 5 Dark Demon Beast had grown stronger!

And with the other residents holding it off, Zhou Bai's group finally managed to catch up with the Level 5 demon beast.

The moment he was close enough, Zhou Bai, wielding an Iron Axe, charged forward. Each strike was faster and more ferocious than the last, as he rapidly moved to a new position after each hit, initiating harassment mode.

His only thought now was: he definitely had to kill it!

The Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf was clearly annoyed, dodging Zhou Bai's attacks while focusing its own attacks on him alone. Its massive paw aimed straight for Zhou Bai's head, about to smash down hard.

Boom!

A loud crash resounded, and a paw-shaped crater was left on the ground, but Zhou Bai had dodged it.

But from that crater, one could tell how violently the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf had attacked.

Following that, the demon wolf's attacks grew even stronger and faster each time.

This left Li Xingteng and the others with no chance to intervene.

In such a situation, Zhou Bai immediately switched from offense to defense, continually luring the Level 5 Demon Beast in circles, bit by bit away from the crowd.

Seeing them leave, two members of the Guard Team beside Li Xingteng wanted to catch up, but Li Xingteng stopped them.

"Let's deal with the other Level Dark Demon Wolves first, then go help her. We can't let them level up by consuming humans."

"But..."

"Trust her, and it's also her intention," Li Xingteng said, grinding his teeth as he took up his weapon and charged at a Dark Demon Wolf that was pouncing on a human.

Still too useless, needing a child to take the lead, embarrassing!

Listening to this, others could only follow in his footsteps.

So, while Zhou Bai struggled with the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, the other Dark Demon Wolves were gradually being eliminated.

The Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf also sensed Zhou Bai's intention and started trying to bypass him in another direction. It just needed a bit more flesh to level up, and after leveling up, this "food" in front of it would no longer be a match for it.

But Zhou Bai, who had already suffered a loss, wouldn't let him out of sight despite the wounds on his body and his life value rapidly decreasing. He was determined to block its path and prevent it from getting close to the others.

Time passed minute by minute, and with screams and wails, the Dark Demon Wolves in the territory were eliminated one by one with everyone working together.

Finally, the Dark Demon Wolves within the whole territory were basically dealt with.

Once this was confirmed, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng in the crowd didn't hesitate to head towards Zhou Bai's location.

In no time at all, they reached Zhou Bai's position, and when the Level 5 Dark Magic Beast attacked, they unhesitatingly took the hit—they also leveled up to 5!

Subsequently, others also reacted. With spare energy, they all rushed towards him—more and more people joined, everyone chopping and stabbing in a frenzy.

With hands outnumbering it, the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, as fast as it was, saw its blood bar plummet dramatically.

Finally, after the last bit of blood was gone, the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf fell down, a look of disbelief flashing across its eyes.

With a "thud," the huge body fell to the ground.

But the surrounding people didn't stop attacking, relentlessly stabbing down, continuously until its body turned into a light sphere and vanished.

And after it disappeared, the Dark Demon Wolves outside attacking the fence collectively howled, ready to retreat.

Their howling instantly drew a lot of attention.

A fierce look crossed everyone's eyes.

"Charge! We can't let them get away!"

Beside themselves with slaughter, the residents couldn't allow them to escape. Disregarding the unprotected outside, they chased down, unhesitatingly killing any lone, heavily injured demon beasts.

Not knowing how long had passed, the area around the territory began to empty.

And once it was realized that this wave of attack was over, many collapsed to the ground with weak knees.

"It's over!"

"We won!"

"Yes, we won!"

"We won ─ woo woo woo ─ we won!"

"..."

At the scene, a group of people cried and laughed.

They cried for the tough days they endured.

They laughed because they had survived.

At this moment, Zhou Bai also let out a long-held breath, sitting down directly on the ground.

It was also at this time, on the control panel in front of Zhou Bai, a deluge of new notifications arrived.

Looking at these notifications, Zhou Bai's lips curled into a bitter smile.

So that was it!

What a cruel world indeed!
