Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 26 Fire-Scaled Trident Boar

The next morning, Lu Jin, now equipped with new gear, set off into the wilderness once again.

This time, he plans to hunt down two low-level lord-class monsters to obtain certification as a beginner-level War God Warrior.

In the wilderness, Lu Jin sped along a dilapidated highway toward City 003.

City 003, also known as the 'Demon Cave', is one of the top monster strongholds in the entire Eurasian continent.

In County 0268, which Lu Jin visited, the Beast General-level monsters were undoubtedly kings.

However, within City 003, the status of Beast General-level monsters is not much stronger than that of Beast Soldier-level monsters; at most, they can only be considered squad leaders. Only Lord-level monsters can occupy a territory, and even King-level monsters are entrenched in the heart of the city.

Moreover, due to its proximity to the ocean, City 003 is not only home to land monsters, but also to sea monsters that infiltrate its lakes and rivers.

It is precisely because this is the first line of defense for the Yanhuang Kingdom against the invasion of sea monsters that the Southeast Guardian Region faces the greatest pressure among the five major guardian regions in the country.

After traveling for most of the day, in a residential building in the city of 003, Lu Jin took out the Kunlun Mirror to investigate the location of the surrounding Lord-level monsters.

As he was investigating, Lu Jin suddenly felt his combat watch vibrate slightly.

Stepping out of the God's-eye view and looking down, Lu Jin saw a satellite positioning system map on his combat watch, with a red dot flashing continuously in the middle of the map.

"Emergency distress signal?"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

The wilderness is undoubtedly a dangerous place, and even a war god is not immune to setbacks.

If a martial artist encounters danger in the wilderness, they can send an 'emergency rescue' signal through their combat watch, which will be sent indiscriminately to all martial artists within a 20-kilometer radius by the system.

Furthermore, because the combat watch is directly connected to the personal information of martial artists, it can automatically identify whether they belong to the same faction.

If the signal comes from the same faction, it will be displayed in red; if it comes from different factions, it will be displayed in green.

Moreover, unlike ordinary telephones, unless the power supply is completely cut off, emergency rescue signals can still be received even if the combat watch is turned off.

The emergency signal is currently red, indicating that within a 20-kilometer radius of him, there is either one individual or a squad of martial artists belonging to the Wei faction in danger.

Seeing that the location from which the signal was sent was only about 5,000 meters away, Lu Jin communicated with the Kunlun Mirror again to investigate the other party's situation.

The next moment, from God's perspective, Lu Jin saw a dilapidated street where a Fire Scale Three-Horned Boar, covered in fiery red scales and with three curved, sharp horns on its head, was leading a large group of beast general-level and beast soldier-level boar monsters to besiege a six-person warrior team.

However, thanks to the fact that there was a novice War God wielding a battle spear in this martial arts team, who managed to hold back the Fire Scale Trident Boar, and that the team's overall strength was not bad, with no one weaker than a War General, they were not directly overwhelmed by the beast horde.

Without much hesitation, Lu Jin put away the Kunlun Mirror, unleashed his mental power, crouched on the hexagonal shield, and then used his mental power to control the shield to fly rapidly toward the rescue team.

Even if the team that sent the distress signal wasn't affiliated with him, Lu Jin would still choose to lend a hand if he could.

"Boom boom boom——"

Amidst the chaotic roar of the charging beasts, the six members of the 'Dragon Fang' squad, belonging to the Southeast Guard District Special Forces, were putting up a fierce resistance. "Captain, if things become unbearable, you take Xiao Liu and retreat."

Inside the encirclement of the beast horde, after repelling the attack of a bloodthirsty tank, Cheng Ziheng, the vice-captain of the 'Dragon Fang' squad, spoke to Captain Long Wentao, who was desperately trying to hold off the Fire Scale Trident Boar.

With Captain Long Wentao's strength as a beginner-level War God, even if he is slightly inferior to this beginner-level Lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar, he can still lead Zhang Xiaoliu, the youngest and weakest member of the team but with the strongest talent, out of the beast horde's encirclement.

"Brother Heng, I, Zhang Xiaoliu, am no coward!"

With a resolute expression, Zhang Xiaoliu slashed out with his Blood Shadow Battle Blade, splitting the neck of a low-level Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tank.

"Hang in there a little longer. The emergency distress signal has been sent out, and a rescue team might be on its way."

While gritting his teeth and restraining the Firescale Trident Boar, Long Wentao said.

It was unfortunate for the 'Dragon Fang' team. They originally only planned to hunt Beast General-level monsters, and would try to avoid Lord-level monsters whenever they saw them from afar.

Unexpectedly, their luck ran out this time. While they were hunting boar-type beast general-level monsters in a shopping mall, a low-level lord-level Fire Scale Trident Boar suddenly rushed out from the mall's underground building.

Heaven have mercy, Long Wentao's punching power has only recently passed the standard line of the primary war god, and he hasn't even had time to get certified as a primary war god yet. How could he be a match for this Fire Scale Trident Boar, which has already stepped into the primary lord level?
Fortunately, he had good comprehension and mastered the first two levels of "World Destruction". His physical strength was tripled, and with a full set of 7-element equipment, he was able to hold on for a short time.

Another half minute passed, and seeing his teammates in dire straits under the attack of the beast horde, Long Wentao was extremely anxious.

Just then, a figure flew rapidly from the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a black light flashed, and six black 9-series throwing knives transformed into black streaks of light, slicing through the air and falling into the horde of beasts, drawing six deadly arcs.

"Puff-puff-puff-"

In an instant, a series of sounds of flesh being pierced and bodies being torn apart rang out. All the beast-general-level pig-like monsters that stood in front of the six black streaks of light had their brains pierced.

In just one second, all seventeen beast-general level boar monsters that attacked the 'Dragon Fang' squad were killed.

At this moment, the deterrent power of a high-level mentalist on the battlefield was fully demonstrated.

If it were a mid-level War God warrior, even if he could kill a beast general with one strike, it wouldn't be enough time to maneuver. Seventeen beast general-level monsters would require seventeen strikes, wouldn't it?

In contrast, Lu Jin, a mid-level War God mentalist, only had a fleeting thought.

The sudden turn of events stunned the 'Dragon Fang' squad, as well as the beastmen attacking the 'Dragon Fang' squad and the low-level lord-class Fire Scale Trident Boar.

However, while the 'Dragon Fang' team and the monsters were stunned, Lu Jin did not stop what he was doing.

Six Series 9 throwing knives flashed through the air, shooting towards the Firescale Trident Boar from six different directions.

This Firescale Trident Boar truly lived up to its reputation as a Lord-level monster. After regaining its senses, it forcibly twisted its body in an instant before the throwing knives arrived, thus avoiding both knives.

Unfortunately, six throwing knives came at it. It dodged two, but there were still four left, and they were all carrying the full power of Lu Jin's mental energy.
