Animal Frenzy?

Wei Huo was stunned. He knew that the Animal Frenzy incident would be triggered if the number of animals hunted exceeded its quota in a particular location. However, he had not expected it to happen within these few days.

He quickly looked for Lu Qiqi and asked, “How many times did the Animal Frenzy incident happen?”

Lu Qiqi answered, “This is the third time the Animal Frenzy incident was triggered in this camp. The first incident lasted for three days, where 867 were killed, while the second incident lasted for 10 days, and 674 were killed.”

Wei Huo frowned. It was his fault for neglecting this issue. Overhunting would cause the animals to go wild causing all animals to begin attacking mankind. Animals like lions, tigers, leopards, antelopes, wild boars, and poisonous snakes would start attacking humans wildly. If there were any rare Magical Beasts, they would have attacked humans uncontrollably too.

Lu Qiqi spoke as she saw Wei Huo frown, “The animals will only go wild in this area. You have three options. First, escape from this place. Second, hide and wait for time to pass. Third, fight them and kill all the animal invaders.”

Wei Huo asked after hearing her words, “What about you?”

Dazed, Lu Qiqi thought to herself, ‘Me?’

She did not think of herself. Why would she think of herself? She was just an artificial being. It did not matter if she died.

Lu Qiqi was confused as nobody had ever asked her questions like ‘What about you?’ before. However, she had to give Wei Huo a reply since he was a player. She said, “The network is not connected. Response search failed.”

The corner of Wei Huo’s eyes twitched as he asked, “So you guys can connect to the internet? Let me ask another question, can you guys download videos?”

‘What kind of artificial being was this? This was clearly a humanoid-computer. Come on! You guys are novice instructors, right? Those kinds of game elves who would answer players’ questions and once that task is finished, all of you will change jobs, right?’

Lu Qiqi kept silent for a moment. Instead of answering Wei Huo’s question, she changed the topic. “The Player had chosen option three. I suggest the Player head toward the warehouse and equip himself with a bow and arrow, iron swords, and iron knives before heading to the Central Control room and turn on the Automated Machine Gun turret. Please take note that the Automated Machine Gun turret will not be able to differentiate between enemies and friendlies. There are four exits in the camp. All four are equipped with the Automated Machine Gun turret. Deadfall traps were set up at both the south gate and north gate. The Player is requested to check if the traps are operating normally.”

Wei Huo nodded and ordered the Giant Panda to guard the area as he headed to the warehouses. Lu Qiqi’s existence was useful to him at present. Firstly, he could obtain a lot of information regarding the game. Secondly, he could learn a lot of skills from her. For example, skills like Medicine and Research that Wei Huo was completely clueless about.

Wei Huo did not worry too much as he had experienced Animal Frenzy before. However, he had chosen to hide previous times. He could not hide this time as he needed to protect Lu Qiqi. Moreover, he wanted to test his maximum battle strength.

After all, his current rank had been upgraded to rank Rare!

Wei Huo had reached the Rare rank after his God of Thunder Skill reached level two. How strong was the rank Rare? Sorry to say this, but even Wei Huo himself did not know. This was due to the lacking points of reference as no creature had been powerful enough to force him into exerting his full power.

Wei Huo took out the Strength Bracer and wore it while he carried Dolan’s Shield on his back before heading to the warehouse. He found some bow and arrow, as well as knives and swords. After equipping them, he went to the camp’s south gate.

He did not plan to escape this time. He wanted to confront the Animal Frenzy incident by himself. He wanted to test his strength.

He carried the bow and arrow on his back. His left hand was holding a blade while his right was holding a sword and he stood guard at the camp’s gate.

Wei Huo only turned on the machine gun turret at the east, west, and north. He left the one in the south off to prevent friendly fire and also to test his strength.

As Wei Huo stood at the south gate, he immediately felt the vibration of the ground and heard a whooshing sound coming from the jungle. The first animal that scuttled out of the forest was a Pere David’s deer. With bloodshot eyes, it instantly sprinted towards Wei Huo as soon as it laid eyes on him. However, it was only the first one.

Behind it was dozens of Pere David’s deer, it was a herd of Pere David’s deer! Following closely behind them were two cheetahs and a crash of rhinoceros. The animals had only one goal, and that was to kill the human ahead of them!

Wei Huo took a slight breath and bellowed, “The hunt begins now!”

He then started his killing spree.

For over 100 years, Wei Huo had never stopped his physical training and Qi Cultivation. He had also reached level two in his God of Thunder Skill. He was unaware that presently he was extremely powerful.

His speed was so fast, it was impossible to see with the naked eye. His strength was more powerful than 10 elephants combined and he was way more skillful in hunting as compared to other experienced hunters. This was the advantage of being 100 years ahead!

In addition to weapons developed from human knowledge, Wei Huo’s combat strength was 10 times higher than those animals that went wild!

With a sword, he beheaded a Pere David’s deer. With one blade, he slaughtered a rhinoceros into half. With one kick, he flung a cheetah 10 meters away.

That was not hunting, that was a massacre!

The Animal Frenzy incident was a punishment to humans for hunting too much, but it was also to suppress the accelerated reproduction of animals.

Only the strongest could survive from this incident just like natural selection in the wild. Survival of the fittest, the precise basis of the jungle world.

Wei Huo’s arrow penetrated the head of a hyena who attempted to sneak into the south gate.

At this moment, an ear-shattering roar suddenly came from the south and rent the air. All the animals halted their steps and started retreating. The ground vibrated ceaselessly and a giant monster appeared!

The most frightening enemy was finally lured out by Wei Huo’s ceaseless massacre!

The giant monster was over 20 meters tall. It looked like a gorilla but had four arms, white fur, and a ferocious face.

‘Four-Armed Gorilla. Rank: Rare. State: Frenzied.’

The Rare Magical Beast had finally appeared!

Lightning flashed across Wei Huo’s eyes as the electric current started to appear beneath his feet. The next moment, Wei Huo rushed towards the gorilla.

Pounding its chest, the gorilla roared and rushed towards Wei Huo. It reached out two of its arms for Wei Huo while it clasped and smashed the other two of its arms towards him.

Wei Huo’s eyes were focused. He cast aside the blade and sword in his hand, clenched his fist, and punched the gorilla’s arms which were plummeting towards him.

Boom! A thunderous bang blared through the air as their fists collided.

Their colliding fist stirred up a strong wind. The leaves scattered all over the place and Wei Huo’s clothes rustled in the wind. Then, Wei Huo heard a crack!

It was a distinct sound of bones breaking. The sound did not come from Wei Huo’s arms. The Four-Armed Gorilla stepped back as soon as the sound died down. Two of its arms dropped onto the ground.

Indeed, a hundred years of push-ups were not for nothing!

The buffed arms of a man who had been single for over a hundred years was worthy of its reputation.
