It was out of everyone's expectation that the third line of defense was broken. After all, it had only been an hour since the monster horde started.
Even Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng who were standing on the giant rock were stunned when they saw the monsters breaking through the line of defense.
Just when they were about to attack, Lin Huang, who was hundreds of meters away, summoned Tyrant and chased after the monsters. The group of young men behind him saw this and immediately chased after the monsters.
The monsters that broke through the line of defense were five Demonic Hyenas. They were the plague type.
Although they were also called hyenas, they were very different from the ones on earth. Their fur was dark grey and they were about three meters long. They had long limbs and a light body. There were two deformed horns on their heads and there was a white bone spur on their backs that extended from their neck to their thighs. The other parts of their bodies were covered with red pustules. Some of them were bulging while some of them were festering. There was a horrible stench coming from their bodies.
Lin Huang remembered the information about the monsters clearly as there were not many plague types and the Demonic Hyenas were the most common type. According to the information, they carried more than 300 types of viruses and more than 10 of them were fatal to humans. If they were not treated in time, they would be infected by the virus and might even die. If they were bitten or scratched by them, the consequences would be severe.
Lin Huang sat on Tyrant's shoulder and took out his GrayEagle17. He started shooting at the Demonic Hyenas from afar.
"Bang, bang, bang …" Gunshots were heard.
Caught off guard, the Demonic Hyenas were shot and shrieked in agony. The enraged monsters that were bewitched began to change their target. They changed their direction and charged towards Lin Huang.
The armor-piercing bullets did not hit the Demonic Hyenas' vital parts and the damage was limited. Instead of scaring them away, they became even more aggressive.
Lin Huang was not surprised when the Demonic Hyenas changed their target to him. He slid down from Tyrant's shoulder and recalled him before summoning Bai again.
In terms of combat power, Tyrant and Bai were similar. However, in terms of killing ability, Bai was a level higher than Tyrant. He had Rank 2 Blood Power, which was equivalent to having two extra sharp blades. His attack range was also much larger than the Tyrant's.
The distance of a few hundred meters was very short. The five Demonic Hyenas had almost instantly arrived in front of Lin Huang.
It was only then that Lin Huang noticed that the pustules on one of the Mad Hyenas had mostly disappeared, turning into terrifying bloody scars. He raised his eyebrows. This was a sign of mutation, and it seemed that the mutation had just been completed. The pustules on the surface of the body had not completely faded.
Bai appeared in front of Lin Huang with bloodshot eyes. He flapped his blood-colored wings and stopped the five Demonic Hyenas.
Lin Huang calmly put away his GrayEagle17 and took out his black iron saber.
He locked his gaze on the mutated Demonic Hyena and said to Bai, "Bai, leave the leftmost one to me."
As soon as Bai received the order, he retracted his left wing and let the mutated hyena out.
The Demonic Hyena that was covered in bloody scars stared at Lin Huang with its greyish-white eyes and pounced towards him. It opened its mouth that was filled with mucus and was about to bite Lin Huang's head.
Lin Huang stood with his saber in front of him. He took a step forward and swung the saber in his hand, causing black blood to spurt out.
The blood-scarred hyena howled in pain. Its abdomen that was just exposed in front of Lin Huang had a huge wound that was more than a meter long. Even its intestines could be vaguely seen.
"What a beautiful sword skill!" Yi Yeyu and Yi Zheng who were observing Lin Huang's situation from afar exclaimed at the same time.
Yi Yeyu's eyes lit up. She thought that Lin Huang was an Imperial Censor who knew how to use guns. She had never seen Lin Huang use a sword before. It was the first time she saw Lin Huang using a sword and she was amazed.
"The Great Sword Scripture is really powerful. If I had the same combat strength as this monster, I would have cut it in half." Lin Huang could not help but exclaim again.
As the blood-scarred hyena had just mutated, the effect of the bewitching effect had mostly disappeared. It was completely awakened by Lin Huang's attack and got rid of the bewitching effect. Sensing that the human in front of it was threatening it, it turned around and was about to escape in a direction where there was no one around. In its panic, it did not notice that the direction it chose to escape to was the direction where the human foothold was.
Seeing that it was about to escape, Lin Huang took a few steps forward and held his saber with both of his hands as he sped up. The blood-scarred hyena was about to dodge when it saw that Lin Huang was attacking it from the side. However, it did not expect Lin Huang to move closer to it and he stabbed his saber into its neck.
The black iron saber pierced through the blood-scarred hyena's neck like it was tofu, leaving only the handle exposed. It was not because the black iron saber was sharp, but because the skill of the Great Sword Scripture was too terrifying.
However, that was not the end of the skill. Lin Huang held his saber with both of his hands and lowered his saber. The long saber that had completely pierced through the blood-scarred hyena's neck slashed downwards, tearing a one-meter-long gash in its neck. The gash was nearly eighty centimeters deep, completely tearing open half of the blood-scarred hyena's neck. Its head was tilted to the side.
Black blood gushed out of the wound like a waterfall, splashing all over the ground. The blood-scarred hyena that was initially ferocious and aggressive began to lose its vitality.
Xiao Hei's notification came again.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a Monster Card, blood-scarred hyena shard x1"
"You have completed a cross-ranking kill, you have obtained a Random Skill Card (Rare)"
Lin Huang did not look at the card that he had obtained this time. Zhou Le and the rest arrived just as he was done with the blood-scarred hyena.
Bai had also killed two of the Demonic Hyenas, the remaining two were surrounded by a group of young men.
Not long after, the group of hidden threats was finally killed.
Lin Huang brought the group of teenagers and ran towards the place where the gap had just appeared. There was a Bronze Hunter who looked pale and was fighting with a few monsters with one hand.
Lin Huang and the rest immediately went to help and killed the wave of monsters. They then asked about the reason why the defense line was broken.
It turned out that when the Bronze Hunter was fighting with the hyenas, he did not expect one of them to suddenly mutate. The blood-scarred hyena's speed increased, and he was not prepared for it. His left hand was bitten, and the hyenas took the opportunity to escape.
"You have to treat your injury as soon as possible. If you don't treat the blood-scarred hyena's virus in time, it'll cause serious harm to your body in the future." Lin Huang advised him after listening to his explanation.
"But here …" The Bronze Hunter was in a dilemma. If he retreated, there would be a gap in the defense line.
"We'll fill it up." Lin Huang looked serious.
"It's fine if there are only a few monsters, but can you guys handle it if there are more of them?" The Bronze Hunter was still worried.
"Sir, don't underestimate us, especially this kid. He killed the blood-scarred hyena on his own, and he only used his sword twice. "Zhou Le was worried that the Bronze Hunter would not agree to it, so he told him about Lin Huang's achievement.
At that moment, Yi Yeyu's voice came from far away. "Lu Yang, go back to the foothold to heal. Leave this to Lin Huang and the rest."
The Bronze Plate Hunter named Lu Yang cupped his fists in an apologetic manner before he turned around and left with Zhou Le's support.
