Universe Infinite Canteen

"Are you suggesting that these beasts have some way of passing information to each other?" He Yueji frowned, "That's...unlikely."

Beasts differ from humans; they lack a language system. Of course, some beast clans might have some primitive way of communication, but the idea of cross-species communication sounds like a bit of a tall tale.

Boggy looked serious, "It might also be that guy's ability; otherwise, it's hard to explain why so many animals in the beast tide haven't attacked each other until now."

Upon hearing this, He Yueji couldn't help but feel a chill. As the deputy leader of the Diamond Level Hunting Group, she had hunted many fierce beasts and had entered the Death Forbidden Zone more than once.

But she had never heard of a single beast that could command all the other beasts of the desert to follow its orders.

Such an ability seemed a little too unbelievable.

It took He Chengyu and his companions about half an hour to reach the vicinity of Gate Number 2. They were the furthest away but arrived second.

Meanwhile, Hogan's Golden Sword had run into a bit of trouble; they encountered a Six-armed Ancient Ape halfway there. Although it wasn't as big as the one Ma Lu and his group had come across, merely at its adolescent phase, it still gave Hogan's team quite a headache.

Therefore, He Chengyu planned to meet up with Westa first, but after searching the area, they couldn't find anyone from the Steel Frontline. He Yueji even tried calling them through the radio, but there was no response.

A glint flashed in He Chengyu's eyes, "Something's not right."

The last time they were in contact, the people from Steel Frontline were about to explore Gate Number 2 since they were nearby, but they had been out of touch ever since.

Logically, whether Westa and his team had found some clues or come up empty-handed, they should have informed the other two squads in a timely manner.

And just as He Chengyu's words fell, the petite female hunter that Ma Lu had seen earlier suddenly lifted her head from the ground and exclaimed, "So many!"

"So many what?" He Yueji asked.

"So many beasts are coming, and they're fast, all closing in on us!"

In fact, without the petite female hunter's reminder, He Chengyu and the others had already seen the horde of beasts emerging at the end of the road!

A mass of darkness, there were at least hundreds of them, and they weren't ordinary beasts. Over half were fierce beasts with bodies larger than 3 meters, and there were formidable ones like the Croc-Head Bullet Ant and the Snake-tailed Giant Eagle.

They surged toward them like a tidal wave!

The sudden sight of so many beasts caused even He Chengyu's complexion to shift slightly.

What's more crucial was that it really was as Boggy had said; these beasts of different species seemed to suddenly have some way of communicating, enabling them to advance and retreat in unison like an army and even surround and lay traps like humans.

However, He Chengyu knew now was not the time to think about such things. He immediately said, "Get ready for defense, prepare for the first wave of impact!"

By coincidence, as he gave the command, Ma Lu was also instructing his team, and his order was straightforward, just one word.

——Charge!

Upon hearing this word, the four members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group did not hesitate and immediately charged towards the other end of the street.

He Chengyu was momentarily stunned, and in the moment of his distraction, the four members of Twin Sunflower had already plunged into the midst of the beasts.

Afterward, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, as they commenced a mode of slaughter.

Ma Lu clenched his left fist and first smashed the head of a Three-humped Wolf Camel, then kicked its body, throwing it into two Rockskin Rhinoceroses, before ignoring the poison needle that a Croc-Head Bullet Ant stabbed at his right leg.

He then chopped off the head of a Grey-Spotted Cheetah. When the poison needle finally penetrated his thigh, Ma Lu extended his left hand and, with a ferocious smile, crushed the head of the Croc-Head Bullet Ant.

On the other side, the people from Cyren Hunting Group were already stunned; they had never seen such a fearless and valiant approach to battle.

He Yueji's face flushed with excitement, and her heart raced, though concern for Ma Lu immediately followed.

Yet she soon saw Ma Lu, "severely injured" as he was, not stopping his feet, and making his way deeper into the horde of beasts to slaughter them.

Wherever he passed, only a trail of blood was left behind.

At this moment, Ma Lu had turned into a flesh-and-blood bulldozer, relying on the effects of [Blood of Immortality] and [Weakness Concealment], he had almost given up all defense.

With terrifying strength, he continuously shattered everything in front of him!

In comparison, those like Boggy who had just learned the Bloodsucking Style, although ferocious in combat, still subconsciously dodged and blocked, prioritizing their own safety.

Therefore, visually, they could not compare to Ma Lu's straightforward, inexorable, blind-fighting approach, which shocked onlookers.

Several times He Chengyu and the others thought Ma Lu was surely dead, but then they turned around to see him continue rampaging through the beast horde, spirited and slaughtering massively.

"Is this... a regenerative type of psychic power?" He Chengyu's pupils sharply contracted.

"Don't bother, no one can guess how many abilities he has," He Yueji said to her brother.

He Chengyu did not just stand idly by either; seeing the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group holding back the first wave of the beast horde's assault, he quickly led his people into the fight as well.

When Ma Lu found a moment, he noticed that He Chengyu's weapon was actually a bunch of metal shards.

Those metal shards must have been made of some sort of alloy, exceptionally sturdy, each about the size of a thumbnail.

He Chengyu's psychic power was similar to Guli's, likely also of the Metal Series, but the difference between them was also apparent.

The metal shards controlled by He Chengyu flew at amazing speeds, and although they might not match a bullet, they were not far off.

Even Ma Lu, with his heightened reflexes, had to focus intently to make out the trajectories of those metal shards.

Moreover, when needed, these shards could combine in different ways and in any amount as necessary.

Ma Lu had seen them form an arm-guard to block a beast's claw strike for He Chengyu.

Then, in less than half a second, the metal shards changed shape again, forming a dagger in He Chengyu's hand, which pierced through the heart of a Snake-tailed Giant Eagle.

Next, they dispersed in all directions, piercing through the skulls of numerous beasts.

The leader of the Diamond Level Hunting Group truly had unfathomable strength.

While Ma Lu was still reflecting, he was unaware that He Chengyu's gaze had shifted to him, now looking at him as if he was a monster.

He Chengyu saw with his own eyes Ma Lu's arm being torn and chewed to the bone, but when he glanced back, he saw that flesh was growing back over the white bony stump.

In the span of a few breaths, the arm returned to its intact state.

He Chengyu nearly blurted out, "Is this guy even human?!"

Although there were many beasts on the opposing side, they couldn't withstand Ma Lu's unchecked slaughter, and although the other members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group didn't appear as flashy, their efficiency was hardly less than his.

Moreover, with the help of He Chengyu and others, the number of beasts visibly dwindled, but not a single one fled until they were slaughtered to near extinction.

This breach of common sense once again caught the attention of He Chengyu and the others.
