First kill

A slimy tongue went through his shirt and rip it apart as it almost touched his skin but Hero flipped in the air and escaped unscathed. 

He sprayed mud onto the smaller beast leaving it confused.

"Now!" He quickly moved after getting the chance that he was looking for but Hero had forgotten the fact that the bigger beast was watching his movement and even before he reached the smaller beast, a slimy tongue struck his shoulder, leaving his left hand dangling, if not for Hero's quick movement and sharp intuition, his intestines would have been spilled.

Hero came to an abrupt halt and fell onto his knees. The pain that he was feeling was unimaginable. The bones on his left hand were poking out and blood which was mixed with rain water painted his shirt red.

"I just want to kill one of you." In the midst of his pain, Hero squirmed towards the smaller beast and in the next moment, he rolled sideways leaving behind furrows which were dug by the tongues of other beast. 

He struggled to stand up and using all of his energy left in his body, he hopped onto one of the beasts after ignoring the smaller beast. Since the beasts thought that he was going to attack the smaller one, they had wholly protected it, they didn't thought that Hero would make this abrupt change and they were more than angered.

At the top of this beast, the other beasts didn't have a chance at striking him but the bigger beast was different and therefore Hero needed to be quick.

The beast that Hero had latched on top of it shook vigorously to shake him off but he had latched on tightly. He struggled to move forward and got close to its head and without waiting fo further ado, Hero punched it's eye and bursted it. He pushed his hand into the bursted eye and when he drove his hand out, he was grasping the brains of the beast.

The brains which were not dead yet squirmed in his grasp but Hero was happier after managing to kill one of them. He held onto the brains with an indifferent look plastered on his face. The dead beast fell down together with him and all this was done in front of all the beast around him.

"I can't believe it! That boy killed one of them when he had not even started cultivating. He would have been a rare talent. It's too bad that he will die here." Hutchinson shook his head with a disappointed look

And just like Hutchinson had said, Hero was struck by the tongue of the bigger beast and he was sent reeling on the mud and it was only a furrow that halted his reeling.

A part of his face was ripped out, he had broken bones, broken ribs and he was disembodied. He was in a half death state and to make it worse, the bigger beast didn't left him be, he could see it moving towards him to make the final blow which will finish him off.

"I hope Tracy will be fine. Dad, you are the only one who knows me, I hope that you will remember my name where you are. I tried. I really tried but I can't kill them all, they are way beyond the common sense." Hero muttered with a look of melancholy. Even if he was feeling a lot of pain, he didn't cry, he persevered as he awaited for his death.

Hero regretted for not having managed to make it out here. He couldn't believe that something as serious as a beast stampede was not made public to warn the people especially the ones coming from the slums. He couldn't imagine what would happen if something like a beast stampede entered into the slums. How many peasants would die just for the rich to have sufficient time to escape.

What had happened here was merely a stampede of a few low level beasts but if it was that of high level beasts, the barrier of the mansion would have been of no use and even an insignificant person like Hero would have died a long time ago.
