I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

The bloody and cruel scene made everyone gasp.

Everyone covered their mouths and held their breath.

They were terrified of becoming the next person to be eaten.

"Ho—!"

The cave crawler let out a low growl of alarm.

The brief gasps from the crowd startled the monsters that were feeding.

They all raised their heads to try and figure out where the sound was coming from.

Just as everyone was filled with fear, at the exit on the other side of the cave...

A much larger cave crawler

They were slowly dragging a dead stag back into the den.

"roar--!"

The monster let out a roar, seemingly calling its companions to come and eat.

The next moment, five or six more cave crawlers suddenly appeared on both sides of the dark cave!

Li Yuan silently counted the number of monsters in his mind:

『1、2....11、12！奶奶的，算上那只大的足足12只！』

Li Yuan cursed inwardly, thinking, "This really is the darkness before dawn!"

Looking at this group of terrifying humanoid creatures.

The most timid Cathy and Craig,

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Dan and Officer Rios, who were standing nearby, also looked troubled.

Only Juno and Sarah, their eyes resolute, gripped their climbing axes tightly.

They were prepared to fight to the death.

Li Yuan was taking stock of the equipment and skills he possessed.

His skills are better suited for dealing with purely evil creatures.

There isn't much damage bonus against these flesh and blood bodies that possess a hint of darkness.

Only firearms can effectively kill them.

Li Yuan glanced at the cave entrance ahead, where a faint light was shining.

He had to run out of the cave entrance to use his gun; otherwise, if there was an unexpected collapse, he could be in danger.

Finding a way out was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan turned around and looked behind him.

Everyone was staring at him.

They were all clearly waiting for Li Yuan's instructions.

Using the sounds of the monsters eating as a cover, Li Yuan lowered his voice and said:

"I'll distract them, and you can use that opportunity to escape from the cave."

Hearing that Li Yuan was going to sacrifice himself to save people.

The expressions on everyone's faces were different.

A hint of smugness flashed in Dan's eyes, while the eyes of many others who had been saved by Li Yuan were filled with sorrow.

Just as Juno was about to speak, Li Yuan stopped her with a gesture.

He said resolutely:

"Don't waste time, I'm afraid there will be even more monsters later."

As he spoke, Li Yuan instructed, "No matter what happens, don't look back. Once you get out of the cave, you'll be safe."

"Don't get separated once you're out of the cave!"

Hearing Li Yuan's firm tone, everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After confirming that everyone understood what he said, Li Yuan...

They then carefully and cautiously walked to the other side of the cave.

[Seal of Justice] [Blessing of Power]

Two golden lights flashed, and Li Yuan activated all the skills he could use.

At the same time, he took out a piece of pork liver pie from the system space and stuffed it into his mouth.

[Ding! Successfully used pork liver pie. Stamina +1 for 30 minutes]

He gripped the wooden mallet in his hand, took a deep breath,

He shouted loudly at the feeding monsters:

"Fools, stop eating! Orcs will never be slaves!"

"roar--!"

Although I couldn't understand what Li Yuan was shouting,

But the monsters still responded one after another.

They raised their blood-soaked faces and roared as they charged toward Li Yuan!

Li Yuan watched the cave crawlers approaching and twirled the oak hammer in his hand.

He muttered to himself, "If only I had a shield!"

He then swung his hammer violently, smashing it down on the monster that had charged at him first.

He roared, "Die, you bastard!"

A cracking sound, accompanied by a system notification, echoed in my ears.

Li Yuan brandished his hammer with murderous intent, engaging the monsters in a fierce battle.

Seeing that the monsters were all attracted by Li Yuan,

No one dared to waste the opportunity he had risked his life to create.

They all rushed towards the cave entrance.

But the road ahead was littered with the bones of dead creatures.

In his nervousness, Craig lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Even if they cut their palms, they dared not make a sound.

He struggled to his feet and continued his escape towards the cave entrance.

They were afraid of attracting the monster.

The group lay prone on the slope made of piled-up bones.

Gradually approaching that beam of light that represents hope.

Dan, who arrived at the cave entrance first, forcefully pushed aside the branches blocking the entrance.

They quickly crawled out of the evil cave.

Dan was in the woods outside the cave, breathing in the long-missed fresh air.

At that moment, he was moved to tears, as if he had been reborn.

But in the next moment, a shovel swung down on Dan’s head without warning!

"Thump!"

Caught off guard, Dan was struck directly, and his body went limp as he collapsed to the ground.

A young man with a sinister look in his eyes tightened his grip on the shovel.

Clearly, they didn't intend for those who escaped to leave alive.

Craig, who had run out right after, witnessed this scene and asked in surprise:

"Who are you? Why are you doing this!"

The young man who had committed the underhanded attack was also taken aback; he hadn't expected so many people to be alive!

"How did these monsters become so useless? Two of them actually managed to escape alive..."

Before he could finish speaking, Juno also popped out.

Next came Cathy and Sarah, who followed behind.

The young man, somewhat dazed, hid the shovel behind his back.

He stammered nervously:

"Um... if I said... this is a misunderstanding, would you believe me...?"

Inside the cave, Li Yuan was leading the cave crawlers in a frantic lap around the perimeter.

He only needed to confront two monsters with protruding faces at first glance.

He didn't dare to confront them directly for the rest of the time.

If so many monsters surround him...

Even with equipment, it couldn't protect him completely.

After all, there's nothing to protect your face and lower body.

If they grab him by the neck, Li Yuan will die just the same.

Seeing that the group had already run out of the cave,

Li Yuan finally felt relieved and turned to run towards the cave.

While fleeing, Li Yuan summoned the Glock 21 from his spatial storage, ready to launch a counterattack at any moment.

Soon, Li Yuan stepped onto the slope made of piled bones.

He glanced back at the distance to the monster behind him.

There stood the largest cave crawler.

He followed closely behind him, his face full of anger.

Li Yuan frowned, then raised his Glock 21 and frantically pulled the trigger!

The continuous, loud gunshots echoed through the empty cave.

This caused the already fragile rock wall to tremble slightly.

Li Yuan didn't care whether he could hit the target or not.

The goal was to use the gunfire to collapse the cave and stop the monster from pursuing them.

As Li Yuan approached the cave entrance, the tremors inside the cave grew stronger.

Li Yuan, who was desperately running away, did not look back. He only heard a loud "boom"!

A gust of air and the resulting dust pushed Li Yuan out of the cave entrance!

Li Yuan, who was lying on the ground, shook his head, which was still dazed from the fall.

Suddenly, they discovered that the largest monster had also run out.

It was lying beside him at that moment, struggling to pounce on him!

"Holy crap, you're really relentless!"

Li Yuan cursed, quickly raised his pistol, pulled the trigger, and emptied the magazine into the monster's head!

The rapidly fired bullet pierced the monster's fragile skull.

It only had time to let out a defiant roar:

"roar--!"

The monster's corpse crashed straight into Li Yuan, splattering his face with bright red blood.
