Chapter 1 Lu Xiao

Lu Xiao was among the first members of the Pioneers Legion. He was rapidly promoted due to his courageous combat and unwavering will, becoming the second most important figure in the entire Pioneers Legion, only after Lu Chi.

He wasn't a member of the Federation and hadn't always been called by this name. However, due to his own excellence, he gained Lu Chi's approval. Lu Chi not only helped him change his name but also changed his surname to Lu, the same as his own, which was enough to demonstrate Lu Chi's regard for him.

In a sense, Lu Chi regarded Lu Xiao as his own younger brother!

Lu Xiao wasn't a fool. He was well aware that the more Lu Chi valued him, the more outstanding achievements he needed to produce in return.

During his time in the Pioneers Legion, Lu Xiao had always felt that his achievements didn't match his current position. So, he had been looking for an opportunity to do something big to prove himself and show Lu Chi that he hadn't misjudged him!

And the blue wolf before him was Lu Xiao's target for showcasing his self-worth at this moment.

If he could capture it and bring it back, he could sit in his current position with peace of mind and prove to Li Tianran that Lu Chi hadn't misjudged him back then!

"Awoo!"

The blue wolf roared again. With the support of its powerful self-healing ability, the severed tendon was slowly healing, and the fur on its body was beginning to regrow. It turned its head and bit the head of the beast king next to it, beginning to devour its flesh and blood frantically to restore its strength.

"..." Lu Xiao's brow twitched wildly. They were running out of time. Even if the F country's Evolver troops within the defense line refused to fight, they couldn't retreat!

Moreover, they didn't have a chance to retreat anymore.

Looking around at this moment, they were already surrounded by a large beast tide. Although the pioneers on the periphery were trying their best to advance inward, the beast tide definitely couldn't be broken through from the outside in a short time. They were completely surrounded. If they didn't kill the blue wolf, no one could break through!

Because during the breakout process, the blue wolf would sneak attack and kill everyone!

"A desperate gamble!" Lu Xiao's brow furrowed. He bent his right leg, and the Tyrannosaurus-type single-soldier armor's military boots ejected propellant gas. He jumped seventy meters in an instant, quickly closing the distance between himself and the blue wolf.

With the support of the electronic reconnaissance mirror, he saw that the large tendon on the blue wolf's left front leg was regrowing flesh buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the severed ends were intertwining and connecting. In less than a few dozen seconds, it would be completely restored.

"Lock it down! We can't let it recover, or we'll all die!" Lu Xiao knew very well that if they allowed the blue wolf to recover, then they wouldn't have a second round to reload the new energy bullets, nor a second chance to injure it. The thirty people in the encirclement would be defeated one by one!

A pioneer rushed to the front. A giant tail with sharp hammer thorns suddenly swept across, and the pioneer couldn't avoid it, choosing to use his back to take the hit.

Thump!

A muffled impact sound rang out, and the pioneer spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although the Tyrannosaurus armor unloaded most of the force, this beast king was too large and its strength was terrifying. The violent shock caused the pioneer's internal organs and blood vessels to rupture, and the pain inside his body was like a knife twisting!

Pfft!

The pioneer didn't stop moving forward. He waved his blade, cutting off all obstacles in front of him, his eyes bloodshot, and charged toward the blue wolf in the very center.

A terrifying brainwave冲击襲來 (chōngjī xílái - impact) struck, not from the pioneer, but from the surrounding beast kings.

Lu Xiao felt as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer in an instant. He stood there for a second, and a sharp claw attacked from his left, piercing deeply along the gap in the Tyrannosaurus armor. In an instant, intense pain surged up.

Lu Xiao looked down and saw blood gushing out of the gap in his combat suit under his left rib.

He couldn't see the internal injuries, but moving his left arm slightly made him feel a pulling, intense pain. He knew that this wound definitely touched the bones!

"..." Lu Xiao directly threw an ancient medicine-grade fruit into his mouth, then no longer glanced at it, and pounced straight towards the blue wolf.

At this time, the Pioneers Legion was at an absolute disadvantage.

If they were to deal with either the beast tide or the blue wolf alone, they wouldn't be so embarrassed. But if these two enemies were mixed together, then the pioneers would be a little overwhelmed.

The blue wolf, with its severed tendon, wasn't without combat power. Despite its limping leg, it still possessed terrifying lethality.

Moving through the beast tide, it bisected two pioneers in an instant, its sharp teeth hanging with minced meat and broken Tyrannosaurus armor.

"Awoo!" The blue wolf howled to the sky, its eyes flashing rapidly. The remaining twenty-odd pioneers had already killed their way to its front. It began to jump, trying to distance itself from the opponents.

Lu Xiao jumped high, stabbing a knife towards the blue wolf's eye. The blue wolf closed its eyes, shook its head, and sent Lu Xiao flying!

At the same time, a pioneer next to him took the opportunity to move along the ground, waving his blade. The armor on his arms suddenly flipped up, and a large amount of propellant gas ejected. The pioneer's original strength, combined with the assistance of the armament, allowed the force of this blade to break through its limit.

Clang!

The blue wolf's large tendon, which had just recovered a small section, was cut off again with one slash. This time, the injury was even more serious, and the blade was wedged into the blue wolf's bones!

Bang!

The pioneer wiped behind him with his left hand, pulled out a small war hammer, and without any hesitation, directly smashed it onto the back of the blade!

The blade withstood the enormous force and continued to advance one inch into the blue wolf's bones!

The blue wolf roared madly in pain. It raised its left front leg, wanting to tear the pioneer and the steel knife stuck in its bones into pieces, but more pioneers rushed up, stabbing and roaring, preventing it from taking care of its left leg.

Clang!

The heavy hammer fell again, the blade vibrated, and continued to cut the bones!

The blue wolf was furious. It went berserk. The pioneers who harassed it were bitten and directly chewed to pieces, but instead of swallowing, it spat out the minced meat and bones all over the ground!

Clearly, it was using this extremely visually impactful method to express its anger and make the pioneers feel fear!

Lu Xiao glanced at his companion on the ground. His body was already broken beyond recognition, and the steaming blood was still flowing everywhere. The bones were ghastly. In the ruined body, the heart was still beating slowly...

"Kill it! Kill it..." The pioneer, who only had a complete head left, stammered, then closed his eyes completely.

"..." Lu Xiao's brow twitched wildly.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of the war hammer striking the back of the blade rang out continuously. Finally, with an extremely crisp snapping sound, the blue wolf's entire left forearm, along with the steel knife, was broken off!

"Cut it into pieces!" Lu Xiao roared, stabbing the steel knife into the blue wolf's wound and violently hacking down!
