"snort!"

The tiger-faced, human-bodied monster snorted coldly. Although it looked disdainful, it did not refute the young man.

"Wait, that's not right!" But then, the tiger-faced, human-bodied monster belatedly realized, "How many times have I told you, don't call me Little Tiger!"

"You can't blame me for this."

As the young man spoke, he made hand gestures, then gathered a strange power at his fingertips and struck the blond-haired, blue-eyed man on the forehead. The blond-haired, blue-eyed man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Alright, the outsiders have been dealt with. You can return to normal now."

"……don't want!"

"Save your spiritual energy; we'll need you to handle the tree demon and that handsome guy later."

"..."

The tiger-faced, human-bodied monster curled its lip in impatience, but the spiritual energy around it gradually dissipated.

At the same time, his body shrank. Just a moment ago, he was a monster with a tiger's head and a human body, but the next second he turned into a little kid who was no more than 1.5 meters tall.

"Look at you, aren't you just like a little tiger?"

"Get lost! Or I'll smash your skull open!"

The little boy was furious and brandished his claws, but the young man just chuckled, because even if the little boy jumped, he couldn't hit him.

"Alright, stop fooling around." The young man waved his hand and pointed to a spot not far away. "The army has already surrounded us."

The little boy looked in the direction the young man was pointing, and sure enough, several fully armed armies were cautiously and orderly surrounding them from all sides.

Even without using his spiritual power, he possesses the night vision of a wild beast.

But he was very annoyed. He clearly had the sight, smell and hearing of a wild beast, but his perception was not as good as this person who played with formations!

"Hmph!" Thinking of this, the little boy snorted unhappily, "We agreed before that you would handle matters related to the army."

"Of course, the grand formation is almost ready."

The young man squinted at the power floating in the sky, while making a hand seal with his right hand.

"open!"

"Buzz!"

With a loud shout from the young man, a burst of blue energy exploded in the air like fireworks, and a giant magic circle with a diameter of about five kilometers appeared on the ground.

The sheer size of the magic array and the intensity of its spiritual energy fluctuations startled all the awakened individuals present, both those who were hiding and those who weren't. However, the young man also showed signs of pain as he struggled to twist his wrist.

"shift!"

"Thump!"

With a muffled thud, as if the space itself had been shaken, the armored vehicles surrounding the Wenyushu Valley and the fully armed soldiers with live ammunition vanished from their spots in an instant.

After doing all this, the young man's legs gave way and he was about to collapse to the ground.

The little boy then grabbed the young man's collar to prevent him from falling flat on his face.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Hmph, you've really gone all out. Why not just barge through? Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

"Ahem, we're in it for our own benefit, and there's no need for us to be enemies with the authorities." After catching his breath, the young man continued, "Please take me to my companions."

"You trust me that much? You're the strongest fighter in your team. What if I embezzle all the spoils from the tree demon later?"

"This is the best option."

"Hmph, don't worry, if that tree demon doesn't produce enough resources, I won't leave you any of them."

……

"Holy crap!" Huo Yu, who witnessed the giant magic array from the hillside, exclaimed, "What the hell just happened?!"

"The army has disappeared!"

"No." The middle-aged man surnamed Gu, who was ringing a bell, shook his head, denying Chen Yang's words. "They didn't disappear, but were moved to a place five kilometers to the east."

"Spatial teleportation?" Uncle Feng rubbed his chin, pondering, "Large-scale, precise spatial transfer—how did those people manage to do that?"

"Uncle Feng, you can think about these things later." The middle-aged man surnamed Gu patted Uncle Feng on the shoulder and raised the horizontal sword in his hand. "If we dawdle any longer, we'll fall behind the main force."

The middle-aged man surnamed Gu was right. After the army was moved by the magic array, countless black shadows appeared around them and darted towards the dense forest that had been guarded by the army.

Clearly, these are all awakened individuals hidden in the shadows, categorized as "others" like the middle-aged man with the surname Gu.

These people varied in strength and were quite scattered, but they were the most numerous. Seeing that the army had been moved away, they realized that their opportunity had come and stopped hiding themselves.

fight!

The fastest birds catch the worms!

Can……

Sometimes, flying too fast, they might fall headfirst into bird nets due to poor eyesight.

Just as the awakened ones rushed into the forest, the entire forest began to move without wind. Then the ground exploded, and countless vines as thick as a person's embrace burst out of the soil.

Large numbers of awakened individuals were either whipped away by vines or tied to tree branches by vines.

In just one encounter, more than 20% of the awakened individuals lost their fighting ability.

"It's that tree spirit!" one of the awakened beings exclaimed.

Although the intelligence mentioned that this tree spirit was powerful, it was unexpected that it was powerful enough to control this entire forest.

However, it was the weaker Awakened ones who were alarmed; for the strong, this obstacle was no match for them.

They had long anticipated the tree demon's strength, perhaps even overestimating it, and they had anticipated this obstacle.

With a tiger's roar, the towering, tiger-headed, human-bodied monster reappeared, tearing through the obstructing vines and trees like a bulldozer.

Two small teams followed behind him, forming an arrowhead formation to cut through the forest, keeping pace with the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster.

Seeing that a "big brother" was leading the way and had actually cut a hole in the forest, the other awakened ones quickly followed and rushed into the forest through the hole made by the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster.

But it's never so easy to take advantage of someone else.

Behind the tiger-headed, human-bodied monster, a young man wielding a long spear flipped backward and landed in front of the Awakened Ones who were following behind them, hoping to take advantage of clearing the way.

"Don't be so domineering! We're all here to compete for resources; none of us are superior to anyone else. Why are you stopping us?"

An awakened individual stepped forward, pointed at the young man holding the spear, and preemptively accused him, as if he were the villain who had spoken first.

"Hmph! We've paved the way; how dare you take advantage of it?"

"What? Your name is written here?"

The spear-wielding man's eyes turned cold as he flipped his spear, pointing it diagonally at the ground.

"Irrelevant answer, dawdling, take this!"

A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon!

The young man drew his gun like a thunderbolt, slicing through the night sky and striking the man who had spoken in the thigh.

The man who had spoken was momentarily stunned and paused for a moment until a piercing pain shot through his thigh. Only then did he notice that a hole the size of a bowl had appeared out of nowhere on his thigh.

"Ouch! My leg!!!"

"Stop hurting your leg!" The person behind shoved the man aside. "If you're injured, get out of here!"

Then, the man raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers! This man is too ruthless, but he's only one person. Let's attack together; he can't stop us!"

The others exchanged glances, and without even a second's hesitation, turned around and left.

In an instant, the person who had just been raising his arms and shouting realized that there was no one behind him!

"Hey! Let's stick together!"

Go to hell! Who do you think you are? Who listens to you?!
