Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 18 Annihilating the Beast Horde (Part 1)

"puff!"

With a single sword thrust piercing the tough hide of the armored bull's neck, Lu Jin sheathed his sword and retreated.

Soon, the armored bull lay dead in a pool of blood, its life extinguished.

After collecting the monster materials, Lu Jin glanced at the rising sun in the eastern sky and decided to temporarily stop working after a whole night of work.

It's summer, and the sun is very strong. It's not suitable for outdoor activities during the day, especially at noon.

I stop working when the sun rises and start working again when the sun sets, mainly working during the day and resting during the night.

"Whoosh!"

After climbing up to a residential building, Lu Jin found a relatively intact room to use as a temporary resting place.

Using the water stored in his external space, Lu Jin took a quick bath, ate some dry rations with the water, and then consumed a vial of Life Elixir that had been newly obtained late at night before turning his attention to cultivating Genetic Energy.

The enhancement gained from cultivating genetic energy does not conflict with the life essence liquid, and Lu Jin will not give it up as long as conditions permit.

In any case, the body's cells have limited efficiency in absorbing cosmic energy, and daily genetic energy cultivation doesn't take much time.

An hour later, all the cells in my body reached saturation, and my daily training session ended.

Just as Lu Jin was preparing to get a good night's sleep so that he would have plenty of energy for the night.

"Rumble--"

Suddenly, the roar of a herd of beasts, accompanied by their bellies, reached my ears from afar.

Frowning slightly, Lu Jin ignored him and shifted to a more comfortable position.

Whether it's monsters fighting amongst themselves or a warrior being chased by a horde of beasts, it has nothing to do with him.

He should only eat what he is capable of. He is just a small-time novice now, so there is no need for him to meddle in other people's business. Anyway, the sky is not going to fall.

the other side.

A chase is unfolding on a street not far from where Lu Jin is resting.

Five warrior figures were fleeing ahead, while behind them was a large group of hundreds of pig-like monsters relentlessly pursuing them.

Among them are several boar monsters at the level of Beast General, and even a Fire Scale Trident Boar at the level of a Junior Lord.

Fortunately, this Firescale Trident Boar, a low-level lord, was wary of the fact that the opponent had a War God warrior whose strength was not much inferior to its own, so it did not abandon its many minions to chase after them alone, giving the five a chance to catch their breath.

Even so, the situation of the five people is not optimistic.

If things continue like this, casualties are inevitable.

Because of the roar of the Lord-level Firescale Trident Boar, boar-like monsters are gathering from all directions.

Although the gathered pig-like monsters were only beast-soldier level monsters, far from being a match for the five fleeing individuals, they did slow down the five's speed to some extent.

As more and more monsters gathered, the figures of Beast General-level monsters began to appear ahead.

"Captain, you should break through on your own!"

A high-ranking warrior, who looked to be in his early twenties and wore a military badge on his shoulder, shouted to the War God Captain after slaying an F-rank unicorn boar with a single strike.

"Shut up! My Dragon Fang Squad has never given up."

"If I don't bring you back, how can I face your families?"

With flashes of light, Zhou Lin, a novice War God warrior who was clearing a path with his battle sword, roared.

"Captain, it doesn't matter if we die, but Xiao Liu is a genius. He might become a high-level war god in the future. Don't ruin our Southeast Military Region's promising talent."

Another middle-aged high-level warrior shouted, "Get lost! I, Liu Yang, am not a coward who fears death."

The young general who spoke first roared.

Soon, the frequency of the beast general-level monsters gathering in front increased significantly, while the beast horde led by the Fire Scale Trident Boar was getting closer and closer. As the captain, Zhou Lin immediately shouted, "Brothers, run to the left side of the residential area and use the residential buildings to slow down the beast horde."

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The next moment, the four senior warriors of the Dragon Fang Squad immediately turned left and entered the dilapidated neighborhood.

Immediately afterwards, the pursuing horde of beasts began to pour into the residential area. Some even transformed into bulldozers, ignoring the buildings blocking their way and charging forward relentlessly.

"Boom boom boom——"

The tremors from the stampeding beasts grew closer, and Lu Jin, who was still awake, opened his eyes, got up, went to the next room near the interior of the community, and looked out the window.

Suddenly, Lu Jin felt completely awful.

He had already stopped meddling in other people's business, but trouble came knocking on his door himself?

In the distance ahead, five figures of martial artists could be seen fleeing rapidly toward the residential building where they were.

Behind them, a six-story residential building was smashed to the ground, and a horde of beasts charged out from the billowing dust.

Among the beasts, a creature covered in fiery red scales with three sharp horns that curved high towards the front immediately caught Lu Jin's attention.

'Elementary Lord-level Firescale Trident Boar.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Turning his head to look at the five warriors in front of the beast horde, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow when he saw the military badges on their shoulders.

Military personnel?
Without much hesitation, Lu Jin leaped out of the window. Immediately, with a thought, the hexagonal shield flew to his feet. Using his mental power, he propelled the hexagonal shield at top speed towards the Fire Scale Trident Boar in the horde of beasts.

To be honest, in this era where monsters are ravaging the world, the contributions made by military warriors are far greater than those made by warriors from the two major martial arts schools, the HR Alliance, and other forces.

The reason why the beast tide only ravaged the wilderness and did not directly attack the base city was mainly due to the military.

Furthermore, in the wilderness, military warriors are undoubtedly the most disciplined group of martial artists.

I've heard of martial arts masters from two major martial arts schools or the HR Alliance killing and robbing in the wilderness, but I've never heard of military martial artists killing and robbing in the wilderness.

"Whoosh!"

Riding on a hexagonal shield, Lu Jin swiftly traversed the air, instantly reaching the sky above the horde of beasts.

next moment.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

In an instant, two black lights appeared, and two nine-element flying knives shot out from the air at high speed toward the Fire Scale Three-Horned Boar.

The throwing knives were extremely fast, giving the Firescale Trident Boar no chance to react. The two level-nine throwing knives struck the Firescale Trident Boar's forehead at the same time.

"boom--"

A violent roar erupted, the fiery red scales shattered, skull fragments flew everywhere, and two nine-element throwing knives pierced straight through the head of the low-level lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar, bringing with them a large handful of blood mixed with boar brains.

"boom!"

With its head pierced, the Firescale Trident Boar, which had already become a corpse during the charge, collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light flashed, and a golden ball of light fell from the corpse of the Firescale Trident Boar before disappearing.

Ignoring the dropped golden critical strike item for the time being, Lu Jin had a thought, and two nine-element throwing knives drew an arc in mid-air and disappeared into the beast horde.
