C13 Mutant Wolf
"We want to go in too."
When the four female students saw that Yang Tian only asked Guan Qingxue to hide in the house, they made this request, their tone full of pleading.
"No way! Either you get the hell out of here or fight!"
Yang Tian rejected them without even a second thought. All he wanted to do was protect Guan Qingxue. At most, the girls were just liabilities and he was in no need of them.
Yang Tian threw the nine Tang Sabers and eight shields from the warehouse in front of them. One of the shields was missing since it had been corroded by sulfuric acid. Moreover, since there were nine of them, it was destined that one of them would lack the protection of a shield.
"Keep them. They are your survival assets."
Lee Sikai was the first to pick a Tang Saber and a shield. Hu Jun hesitated for a moment before also taking his own equipment. Boys were more adaptable than girls, hence they were the first to pick their share before the girls.
" I...I don't have a shield."
The last girl to pick up the equipment said timidly.
However, she was greeted with Yang Tian's disregard.
"You guys spread out. Later, mutant wild wolves might attempt entering. Once they enter, we must immediately kill them!"
Hearing Yang Tian's arrangements, they spread out around the walls of the manor. The boys were better off, but the girls' strength was obviously insufficient. They could not wield both the aluminum alloy shield and the aluminum alloy Tang Saber at the same time.
The girl with only one Tang Saber had moistened eyes, but upon seeing Yang Tian's indifferent expression, she finally chose a corner.
"Return to the room immediately!"
Yang Tian immediately shouted when he saw Guan Qingxue still standing there dazed.
Hearing his strict voice, Guan Qingxue slowly returned to the small house.
Why was it that when they first met, he was so cold to her, but after knowing her name, he became nice? But he also knew her student's name, Hsiao Meiyi. Why was she still sent out to fight then?
Guan Qingxue thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a valid reason.
Level-1 Cheetah Warrior
Level-1 Fire Warrior
The both of them were definitely the main force in the upcoming battle. In Yang Tian's eyes, the other students who couldn't even hold their swords properly were simply decoys.
Awoo!
As the wolverine howls continued hollering, even Yang Tian's eyes revealed a trace of tension.
In Yang Tian's previous life, not to mention a Level-1 beast tide, even if it was a Level-7 beast tide, as long as he waved his hand, the tamed beasts behind him would immediately tear the adversaries apart. However, the current Yang Tian was just an ordinary human being. Although his psychic power had reached the first level, it was still difficult for him to use its perks without a special ability.
For example, if you had a Uzi, but you didn't have any bullets. Perhaps you could use it to scare others, but it would be useless at critical moments.
Whilst the baying of the wolves got closer, the girl wielding a Tang Saber couldn't hold back from crying. However, when she saw Yang Tian's deathly gaze, she snuffled it back.
The moment Yang Tian looked at her, she stopped crying. Had she kept on crying, Yang Tian would have killed her first without waiting for the arrival of the wolf pack. He didn't want to expose his position then fall into passivity.
Perhaps she also felt Yang Tian's killing intent, so she didn't dare to cry.
The wolves came.
A mutant wolf trespassed into the manor and glowered at Yang Tian and the others with an ominous glint in its eyes.
"Now!"
The mutant hog was the first one to charge at the mutant wolves. However, since the wolf was much faster than the pig, it easily dodged its attack.
"Kill!"
A Tang Saber slashed across the mutant wolf's left foreleg, but not even a scar was left. His strength was a little lacking.
Fortunately, the Cheetah Warrior's speed was indeed fast.
Lee Sikai was well-off. With his beastified legs, his speed was on par with that of the mutant wolf.
The injuries inflicted on the adversary had stimulated his ferocious nature.
Yang Tian would not give the wolf any chance to fight back. The Tang Saber in his hand immediately slashed at the mutant wild wolf. Its speed was not as fast as Lee Sikai's, but in terms of experience, no one could match Yang Tian.
The mutant wolf wanted to flee from Yang Tian's attack range, but the scimitar that Yang Tian had prepared exploded the moment the mutant wolf retreated.
It did not even have time to react as its chest was hit by the curved blade.
Attack!
This time, the mutant wolf could no longer dodge the mutant hog's attack. It stabbed its half-meter-long fangs through the opponent's chest.
The mutant wolf was preparing to roar, but Yang Tian wouldn't give it the opportunity. His Tang Saber pierced through its vocal cords, inhibiting it from making a sound.
"Quick!" Yang Tian shouted at Lee Sikai.
Surmising what Yang Tian meant, he instantly slashed at the mutant wolf's neck using his Tang Saber.
It was still alive?
The Tang Saber stopped at a third layer of the mutant wolf's neck.
He continued.
Lee Sikai slashed many times in a row before he managed to cut off the mutant wild wolf's neck.
When the mutant hog let go of its fangs, Yang Tian used the Tang Saber to search inside the mutant wolf's head.
Fortunately, it had an Energy Crystal. The mutant wild wolf was a speed-type mutated beast hence its Energy Crystal was also speed attributed, which was just right for Lee Sikai's ability.
"Absorb it!"
Yang Tian handed the Energy Crystal over to Lee Sikai. He could be considered one of the main forces in the team, hence it was best if he could strengthen his ability to better face further unknown unfolding situations.
"How?" Lee Sikai doubtfully looked at the Energy Crystal that Yang Tian handed him.
"Just eat it."
Lee Sikai put the Energy Crystal into his mouth, thinking that it would be very difficult to swallow, but the moment it was inside, it vanished into his stomach.
"My strength and... speed are improving!"
Lee Sikai was a little surprised by the amplitude of his attributes — his speed had increased by a third. If he ate a few more of them, wouldn't that be...
" If you absorb the same energy crystals continuously, its effects will gradually recede in succession."
Yang Tian's words quickly broke Lee Sikai's illusion. Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through, Lee Sikai scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Be careful in the upcoming battle."
Yang Tian not only said this to Lee Sikai, but also to other people in the group.
One level-1 mutant wild wolf alone was very easy to deal with, but two or three of them, not so much.
This was just the beginning of the beast tide. There was still a large group of mutant wild wolves following. He only hoped that there wouldn't be too many wild wolves passing by his manor.
Before they got a chance to rest, five mutant wolves breached the manor.
Their arrival scared the students shitless as they instantly dropped their shields.
Yang Tian overlooked their situation and ordered the mutant hog to get ready to attack. Although Lee Sikai was a bit afraid, he had just been strengthened, so he had some confidence in himself.
Three mutant wild wolves rushed towards Yang Tian. Their animalistic instincts assured them that Yang Tian was the most dangerous of the lot. As for the remaining two mutant wild wolves, they rushed towards the mutant fruit tree.
