Chapter 1 The Ancient Civilization's Secondary Sequence Creature

"It's an ancient civilization's secondary sequence creature!" Lu Xiao finally discovered the blue wolf among the beast king pack. It was too ferocious, having killed over fifty pioneers in less than ten minutes, and that number was still rising. Each time it attacked, a pioneer was severely injured.

Before it, the once rampant pioneers had become low-level creatures to be preyed upon.

"Second squad, assemble and surround it!" Lu Xiao roared, "Perfect! The Biological Research Institute needs a twice-evolved creature's corpse. We'll kill it and present it to the legion commander and the boss as a gift!"

Indeed, Li Tianran currently needed twice-evolved creature genes for research. He needed to quickly master this powerful life gene force himself.

In the last war, he killed many secondary sequence creatures, but failed to capture any alive.

Under the high temperatures generated by the laser orbital cannons and the Valley of Death, all the ancient civilization creatures that were attacked were reduced to ashes, with no active cells preserved at all, not even severed limbs!

So, to this day, research on twice-evolved genes remains a complete blank slate for all countries.

Although Bai Jingyan once found a piece of flesh with activity in a stone statue, the genetic activity within had already dropped to a pitiful level, unable to meet current research needs.

If a twice-evolved creature could be successfully captured, it would certainly bring great research convenience to both Mad Breath Island and the entire human civilization!

"If we can kill it and bring its corpse back, we'll have performed a great service!" Lu Xiao's eyes were fixed on the blue wolf that was darting like lightning through the beast tide. He lowered the protective visor on his helmet, and with the assistance of electronic equipment, his gaze could now track the blue wolf's movements!

"Surround it!" Lu Xiao calmly ordered, and dozens of pioneers approached the blue wolf from different directions.

With the assistance of electronic equipment, the pioneers were able to capture the blue wolf's movements, but the embarrassing thing that followed was that they could indeed see the blue wolf's actions clearly, but their bodies couldn't keep up!

Faced with the encirclement of dozens of pioneers, the blue wolf easily leaped and left the encirclement.

The blue wolf possessed great strength, but the previous collision with the pioneers made it cautious. It didn't want to be trapped in a large encirclement by the pioneers!

"This won't work, we must slow it down..." Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, then whispered a few words into the communication headset.

This type of communication headset wasn't connected to the internet or satellites; it was equivalent to an independent regional signal, so it wasn't subject to ancient civilization network interference.

Soon, under Lu Xiao's command, a new encirclement formed.

Terrifying brainwave impacts came from all directions. In terms of attack speed and range, Zhinao-type (Brain-Type) evolvers were superior to Shenjiang-type (God Descent-Type) evolvers.

Dozens of Zhinao-type evolvers exerted their power together. The blue wolf seemed to realize the danger, and it leaped vigorously into the sky, actually jumping up dozens of meters!

But even so, it still failed to escape the range of the brainwave impact, and its body stiffened visibly for a moment!

"Now! Fire!" Lu Xiao roared, and together with several pioneers, he drew his New Energy Pistol, aimed at the blue wolf in the sky, and instantly pulled the trigger.

Dozens of bullets flashing with bright light rose into the sky, landed on the blue wolf, and instantly exploded into countless brilliant fireworks!

"Awoo!"

The blue wolf roared, jumping out of the sky full of flames. Its fur was scorched black, its flesh was cracked open, and fresh blood flowed.

Its flesh could withstand small missiles with explosion temperatures as high as four thousand degrees, but it couldn't withstand New Energy bullets with burning temperatures exceeding nine thousand degrees. Many small cracks opened on its body, and the burning oil with extremely strong adhesion inside the energy bullets stuck to it, making it difficult to get rid of.

This high temperature caused it pain, but it couldn't kill it. Its powerful self-healing ability had already begun to take effect. The scorched flesh began to heal, and new fur began to grow.

"Kill!" Lu Xiao seized the opportunity, raised his knife, and led his men to surround it.

The blue wolf, currently disturbed by the New Energy bullet gunpowder, would greatly reduce in speed. They had to kill it during this time, otherwise, once it fully recovered, they would have no chance!

The terrifying brainwave impact struck the blue wolf again.

The blue wolf's movements paused, and Shenjiang-type pioneers led by Lu Xiao had already charged over.

The blue wolf roared.

A pioneer pounced on it and was instantly torn apart, even the Tyrant Dragon armor he wore was swallowed whole.

Another pioneer swung his knife, and the blue wolf swung its giant claws, turning him into a bloody mist.

In the vast beast tide battlefield, a giant wolf covered in flames was like a meat grinder. Pioneers fearlessly pounced on it, only to die.

Pfft!

Finally, a pioneer's steel knife pierced into the giant wolf's chest cavity through a previously burned wound.

But the next moment, the pioneer was slapped away, and the steel knife was directly shattered by the blue wolf's bite.

This was simply a war of exchanging injuries for lives!

The pioneers desperately squeezed forward, using their lives to exchange for a wound on the blue wolf's body.

"Left leg!" Lu Xiao roared. A pioneer flew over and slashed at the giant wolf's left leg joint. As the sound of metal clashing rang out, the blade vibrated violently!

"Don't cut the bones, cut the tendons!" Lu Xiao dodged an attack from a beast king, closely following behind the pioneer, aimed at the rear of the giant wolf's foreleg, where the large tendon had been burned by the flames, and slashed down with all his strength.

Pfft!

Snap!

The blue wolf howled in pain!

The cyan-black tendon was severed, and the blue wolf, which was running, instantly fell to the ground!

At this time, of the original hundred pioneers who surrounded the blue wolf, less than thirty remained!

In order to knock it down, more than seventy pioneers had shed their blood on the earth!

"Ooo..."

The blue wolf staggered to its feet, gazing at the pioneers walking towards it with cold eyes, and suddenly let out a deafening roar.

The surrounding beast kings began to frantically gather here, blocking the blue wolf.

"Let the Third Army of Country F deploy and clear these beast kings for us! We must capture this beast today!" Lu Xiao's brow furrowed. He had already paid the price of many pioneers' lives, and he would not let this blue wolf escape today no matter what!

Lu Xiao and thirty or so pioneers roared, completely disregarding life and death, and charged into the deepest part of the beast tide, towards the blue wolf.

A tragic war started again.

"Why hasn't Country F's army come out yet?" Finally, Lu Xiao was surrounded by countless beast kings and fell into bitter fighting. He felt a trace of unease. There was no movement within the defense line, and no reinforcements appeared at all. He angrily asked in the communication headset.

"..."

Soon, a voice came from the communication headset, from the pioneer warriors outside the beast tide.

"C...Commander! Country F's army says the current battlefield situation is too chaotic, and rashly joining the battle may cause greater losses. They want us to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the defense line!" someone said through gritted teeth.

Lu Xiao was stunned. He widened his eyes and looked around.

They had already entered the very center of the beast tide, and all directions were filled with extremely violent beast tides, and directly ahead was a deadly blue wolf!

Withdraw?

How could they withdraw?

"You tell the commander of Country F's evolver forces, tell him I curse his mother! If this blue wolf escapes today because he is timid and dare not fight, I will kill his entire family when I get back!" Lu Xiao roared, feeling that his chest was about to explode with anger!
