Transformed into Hyper Zetton, the school beauty was terrified in the second playthrough.

"Ho...ho...ho..."

Deep, rapid breathing could be heard from within the pitch-black forest.

Xu Hao stumbled through patch after patch of grass, dragging a three-meter-long broadsword in his hand.

Blood flowed from his forehead, pooling into several streams on half of his cheek. His head had suffered a serious injury, and his vision was trembling slightly.

With the darkness of night, we bumped into trees almost every few minutes as we ran.

"What a joke! This human-turned-monster is only Nightmare-level, so why is it so strong?!"

"Didn't the Holy Fist Master clear out the Death Forest? Why are those monsters still there?"

"Damn it!"

Defeated by the elephant-headed monster with a single slap, Xu Hao lost all fighting spirit and now only wanted to find others to cooperate with for protection.

Just then, he passed through a thicket of bushes and glimpsed a moving firelight not far ahead.

His eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately ran towards the flames.

"Hey! Stop!" Xu Hao shouted as if grasping at a straw.

The slowly moving flames stopped.

Xu Hao immediately quickened his pace despite the pain, and the moment he emerged from the bushes, he finally saw the person standing in the firelight.

"Huh? Captain Xu? You're still alive?!" Lin Chengfeng, holding a torch, exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Hao's smile froze. "You... why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be in the back?"

Lin Chengfeng scratched his head: "I've been running backwards the whole time, Captain Xu, did you get lost and end up this way?"

Xu Hao couldn't verify whether Lin Chengfeng was telling the truth or lying. The situation was critical just now, and he was only focused on running away. He didn't have time to figure out the direction.

"Damn it! Why did I have to come back?! I was thinking of using those useless guys to delay that monster for a while!" Xu Hao cursed angrily.

He then asked, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"

Lin Chengfeng's eyes flickered with sadness, and he sighed in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Captain Xu, they couldn't run as fast as me. They've probably already been eaten by that elephant-headed monster."

"I got lost after running far away, Captain Xu, do you have any navigation aids?"

Xu Hao's face looked as if he had eaten shit.

"Damn it! Those good-for-nothings got eaten, and he and I ended up together. Monsters have extremely strong aura tracking abilities, they might find this place soon!" Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Xu Hao's eyes.

He pulled a compass-like device out of his pocket, but it had several pointers and a bunch of tightly packed text, giving it the feel of a feng shui compass.

Xu Hao held the compass and turned it around and around.

"We just left the north side. I had arranged to meet someone on the east side. I'm going to find him now so we can work together to defeat that elephant-headed monster."

As he spoke, Xu Hao pointed in another direction and said, "If you're going to run to the west, I saw a similar-sized fire over there when I was on night watch in the tree. I guess there's a group of people gathered there too."

"Go and tell them that humans have turned into monsters. After we separate, the monster will lose its way, and we will all be safe."

After Xu Hao said these words, Lin Chengfeng lowered his eyes slightly, looking at Xu Hao as if he were looking at a dead man.

The direction Xu Hao was pointing to was not the west side where the crowd was gathered, but the north side where the elephant-headed monster was located.

All they did was try to send Lin Chengfeng to his death, buying him more time to escape.

And one more thing.

Xu Hao didn't go the wrong way; it was just that Lin Chengfeng caught up with him and told a little lie.

Lin Chengfeng forced a smile and said calmly, "Xu Hao, I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't cherish it, so I'm sorry."

Xu Hao's pupils constricted sharply, sensing something was wrong, and he reached for his broadsword...

The tiger's body trembled, and the aroma of meat wafted from its chest.

Looking down, I saw that there was a hole in my chest the size of two fists, but no blood was flowing out.

That's because the flesh and blood are charred and the blood vessels are blocked by the high temperature.

Xu Hao's pupils dilated in shock. He shakily raised his head and stared in disbelief at the small flame in Lin Chengfeng's hand.

His lips trembled as he uttered, "You..."

He had barely uttered a single word when he collapsed.

thump!

With his eyes wide open in death, he never imagined that Lin Chengfeng would actually kill him head-on.

He had previously been confident that Lin Chengfeng had only used underhanded tactics to defeat Zhao Fengyun.

Lin Chengfeng flicked his hand, extinguishing the small dark fireball.

He walked up to Xu Hao's body, took off his bracelet, and transferred 120 points to himself.

Looking at the standings, he's currently in first place.

The second place is Teng Qianfan, with 90 points, very close to 120.

"Sigh, I don't care about a high ranking, just making it to the finals is fine." Having been forced to slaughter his pig early, Lin Chengfeng has become indifferent to the score.

However, resentment towards the imperial organization has increased.

Simply because they ruined their own pig farming plan.

"There should be quite a few people from the Monarchy Organization here. In that case, let's convert them into evolution points to compensate for my pig-raising plan."

Lin Chengfeng, holding a torch, turned and walked into the depths of the forest.

…………

On a certain mountain peak.

Through the light emanating from the fire, Gu Wanxue quietly watched the black-robed man with a lewd smile on his face.

"Oh, you're quite the little beauty. Just surrender yourself. I'm not gentle and could easily ruin your pretty face."

Gu Wanxue said calmly, "The Emperor Organization? You're quite fast. I thought you wouldn't arrive until the next day."

Her tone was completely unsurprised, as if she had known all along that the Imperial Organization would come.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes trembled violently. "You know us?!"

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

So far, not many A-level combatants know about the Monarch Organization, but this B-level combatant in front of me does.

And even without transforming, you can recognize it at a glance.

It was hard for the man in the black robe not to be nervous.

"Hmph, you know we can remain calm, but do you really think you can stand up to me in my transformed state with your B-rank combatant strength?!"

The man in black robes grew increasingly shrill.

The body began to twist, deform, and swell.

In the blink of an eye, a forty-meter-tall bird-headed, sharp-clawed monster appeared before Gu Wanxue.

It has a hexagonal red shield in the middle, only two sharp claws on its hands, a spiked tail, and a pointed head.

His figure appears slightly overweight.

"The Bemstar monster?"

"Its offensive capabilities are not bad, but its weaknesses are obvious, and it becomes fragile when hit with power exceeding its limit," Gu Wanxue commented.
