"Our mission is to clear this area of ferocious beasts!"
Feng Lang held a newly distributed map and pointed to a region.
Ye Ningze looked over and found that the area was not far from the Qingcheng base. It was about forty kilometers away, a plain connected with surrounding jungles.
"Captain, this is a bit far. We've never gone this far before!" a team member frowned.
"There's no other way. This mission route is extremely long, over five hundred kilometers."
"There will inevitably be many risks. We were prepared for this when we joined this ferocious beast clearing plan!" Feng Lang said calmly.
As the leader of the mercenary group, he was long accustomed to this life of living on the edge, and the others nodded helplessly.
After formulating a simple combat plan, everyone prepared to head to their destination.
With the plan set, Feng Lang and Ye Ningze's group immediately set off, heading towards their destination.
This was a vast mountain forest. Night had fallen, and as they walked through the forest, the surroundings appeared eerie and terrifying, with a strong smell of blood permeating the air.
Everyone remained highly vigilant, walking and observing their surroundings.
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound reached everyone's ears.
Everyone immediately became alert.
"Everyone be careful, we have enemy contact!"
"What enemy contact?" Ye Ningze shouted.
As soon as Ye Ningze finished speaking, a flash of white light streaked past, and a figure silently approached Ye Ningze.
Ye Ningze sensed danger. In his divine sense, he detected a dangerous but tiny shadow charging fiercely towards him.
It was a giant bee!
However, in this era of cosmic change, the bee was now the size of a small calf! Its stinger gleamed with an extremely dangerous light!
Ye Ningze didn't hesitate and swung his saber fiercely!
With a clang, the bee's stinger was severed. It then let out a shrill cry, falling to the ground and struggling incessantly. Unfortunately, the more it struggled, the faster the poison spread, eventually turning into a pool of black liquid and dying completely.
"What's going on?" Feng Lang rushed over upon seeing this.
He looked at the pool of black liquid on the ground and felt a chill. Before the cosmic change, he had personally witnessed people being stung by bees and dying from the poison soon after.
Ye Ningze reacted even faster than Feng Lang. The moment he saw the bee fall to the ground, he had already used his blade to cut his index finger! A drop of blood quickly flew into the pool of black venom.
Subsequently, he watched as the black venom slowly turned red, eventually disappearing into a pool of blood. This highly potent venom was extremely lethal and even highly volatile in the air. If it weren't for the neutralizing effect of human blood, the people nearby would likely have been poisoned.
Ye Ningze breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Ye Ningze so efficiently deal with the bee, Feng Lang's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Ningze.
Ye Ningze smiled faintly and said nothing.
At this moment, in another part of the mountain forest, a giant wild boar, over two meters tall, was walking slowly. Bloodstains hung from the boar's mouth, and its body was covered in numerous wounds. Its eyes, as large as bronze bells, were filled with furious glints.
"Roar!"
The wild boar roared upwards and charged at everyone as soon as it appeared. It seemed to have been provoked by something. Feng Lang swung his saber and met the charge head-on.
The two sharp battle sabers met with a crisp clang of metal against metal. The impact of the wild boar nearly made Feng Lang drop his saber. Feng Lang was greatly alarmed and quickly stabilized his saber.
Feng Lang retreated rapidly, with the wild boar in hot pursuit, continuing its attack. For a moment, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle within the mountain forest.
Ye Ningze and the others had not expected such a colossal wild boar to exist here. While surprised, they secretly admired the bravery and daring of Feng Lang's squad. Although the wild boar was enormous, its speed was not particularly fast. With a moment's carelessness, Ye Ningze and the others would have had a chance to kill it.
"Don't worry about me! Kill this wild boar first, I'll hold it off!" Ye Ningze shouted at the others while wielding his saber.
As soon as Ye Ningze finished speaking, a martial artist shot a pebble towards the wild boar. The boar's hide was extremely thick, and the pebble struck it directly, but only managed to scratch a shallow mark. The wild boar's defense was astonishingly high, which surprised Ye Ningze and the others.
Ye Ningze dared not delay. He quickly swung his saber towards the wild boar's neck. Although Feng Lang was strong, he was clearly no match for this colossal wild boar. Ye Ningze fiercely swung his saber to intercept. Seeing someone dare to confront it directly, the wild boar became enraged and swiped at Ye Ningze with a claw.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze quickly retreated, dodging the wild boar's attack. However, his right leg could not avoid being struck by the wild boar. The wild boar's strength was immense, and Ye Ningze felt his right leg go numb, a wave of pain coursing through his entire body.
"Roar!"
Seeing Ye Ningze escape, the wild boar furiously lunged at him. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of black mist. Ye Ningze quickly raised his saber to block in front of him. A dull thud sounded in Ye Ningze's ears. Ye Ningze felt his arm go numb, and his tiger's mouth cracked, bleeding.
At this moment, the S-rank healing talent he had previously copied came into effect. Ye Ningze's wounds instantly healed!
"Roar!"
Seeing Ye Ningze fully recovered, the wild boar furiously charged at him again! Ye Ningze hastily retreated, and as he dodged, he immediately swung his saber towards the wild boar's head. The wild boar's head was incredibly tough; the saber strike on its skull could not sever its head. Ye Ningze's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected the wild boar's defense to be so formidable!
Just then, an arrow shot from a distance, striking the wild boar squarely in the forehead.
"Bang!"
With a single arrow, the wild boar let out a pained cry and crashed to the ground.
"Brother Ye, are you alright?" Feng Lang asked with concern, seeing Ye Ningze was injured.
Ye Ningze shook his head, stood still for a moment to catch his breath, and adjusted his state. He raised his saber again, ready to continue the attack.
"Brother, let me!" Feng Lang's teammate said.
Feng Lang nodded and handed his saber to his comrade. After taking the saber, Feng Lang's brother quickly charged forward. This comrade was also very powerful, his saber movements a blur. The wild boar could not withstand even a single move from him, being directly felled with one slash.
Seeing the wild boar dead, Feng Lang's teammate rejoiced, stepping on the boar's corpse and exclaiming excitedly.
"Haha, fantastic! I didn't expect to take care of this wild boar so easily!"
