Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

However, it is extremely aggressive; if your skin is scratched by the Flame Lion's claws...

Then this person's blood will definitely be absorbed and become food for the Flame Lion.

Therefore, these people would rather spend points than provoke the Flame Lion.

Xu Yao remained calm as he drew his dagger and charged toward the fire lions.

After spotting Xu Yao, all the fire lions pounced on him.

Xu Yao brandished his dagger, easily dispatching a fire lion.

Xu Yao then continued his attack on the other fire lion.

Flame Lions are social magical beasts. After Xu Yao killed one, four Flame Lions immediately pounced on him.

These fire lions all possessed strength of around level six or seven, which was no match for Xu Yao.

Xu Yao brandished the dagger in his hand incessantly, moving at a very fast speed.

However, there were also many fire lions, so Xu Yao was quickly surrounded by them.

Sweat beaded on Xu Yao's forehead, but he still didn't give up.

Instead, he became increasingly indifferent, and his movements became even more swift.

His steps were light, and he dodged with ease.

The fire lions seemed to have realized that Xu Yao was very powerful, so they did not continue to advance.

Xu Yao stood still, looking at the flame lions.

"Aren't you going to come and die?" Xu Yao said provocatively.

The fire lions seemed to understand Xu Yao's words.

After letting out a roar, the fire lions pounced on Xu Yao, their target being his neck.

Xu Yao sidestepped, avoiding the Flame Lion's sharp claws.

However, he was still human, and he could not avoid being burned by the flames spewed out by those fire lions.

Xu Yao endured the pain and used his dagger to sever the throats of the fire lions, then turned and ran. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

However, Xu Yao ran out and soon encountered two fire lions.

Xu Yao frowned as he looked at the two fire lions. He wasn't confident he could defeat two level-six fire lions at the same time.

Just as Xu Yao was preparing to retreat, a strong gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.

Xu Yao was startled and quickly dodged the attack from behind.

He looked up and saw a giant wolf, its body completely black.

This giant wolf carried a faint aura of menace, clearly indicating that it had experienced many battles.

However, this giant wolf seemed to be slightly larger than the ones he had encountered before.

Upon seeing Xu Yao, the giant wolf bared its sharp fangs, then growled and charged at him.

Xu Yao immediately went to meet it, knowing that this giant wolf was much more troublesome than the ones he had encountered before.

He swung his sword, and the blade struck the giant wolf's claws.

Thick white smoke billowed from the giant wolf's claws, clearly indicating that it had been injured by Xu Yao's sword strike.

It let out an angry howl, then violently slammed into Xu Yao, knocking him into a tree.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xu Yao's mouth, but he showed no fear and charged at the giant wolf once more.

He knew that this giant wolf was only a level six early-stage magical beast, but he was not afraid at all.

Xu Yao and the giant wolf clashed. The giant wolf's attacks were extremely fierce, forcing Xu Yao to be cautious.

However, Xu Yao still held the advantage in this battle.

After all, Xu Yao's weapon and attributes are very effective against the giant wolf.

Finally, Xu Yao found an opportunity and plunged the dagger in his hand into the giant wolf's belly.

The giant wolf, in pain, let out a furious howl.

It opened its gaping maw, bit Xu Yao's waist, and flung him away.

After landing, Xu Yao rolled several times before he could regain his balance.

Blood was flowing from its body, and its tail had become bald.

Xu Yao looked at his injuries, shook his head, and walked towards the giant wolf.

Although that blow hurt a lot, it wasn't enough to affect Xu Yao's movements.

Xu Yao glanced at his body and found that his wounds were just ordinary abrasions.

But without any hesitation, he took the dagger and stabbed at the giant wolf.

The giant wolf reacted quickly and dodged Xu Yao's attack, but it was not faring well either, as Xu Yao slashed its belly.

It kept spitting out blood, but it continued to attack Xu Yao frantically.

Although Xu Yao was powerful, he couldn't withstand the Flame Lion's attacks.

After a fierce battle, Xu Yao killed the giant wolf, extracted its crystal core, and swallowed it.

Xu Yao glanced at his surroundings and decided to leave first before making any other plans.

The forest was vast and fraught with danger, but none of that mattered to Xu Yao.

All he needs to do is find An Ruo.

Xu Yao was very lucky; he didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way, which saved him a lot of trouble.

However, Xu Yao did not let his guard down too much, as he always felt that their movements were probably being followed.

What he lacks most right now is time; he must find Anruo before dawn.

As Xu Yao walked, he observed his surroundings with a very serious expression. He didn't even know when an enemy might suddenly appear.

Xu Yao glanced behind him, but he didn't realize anyone was following him.

He hadn't seen any human groups during this time, and he didn't know if any humans lived nearby.

If humans exist, then one's own security is guaranteed.

Xu Yao ignored the people who were hiding and walked straight ahead.

In this forest, everyone is an enemy.

Therefore, Xu Yao showed no mercy; only death could allow him to live.

Just as Xu Yao was about to enter a valley, he suddenly heard a faint sound.

His heart skipped a beat, and he turned around instantly.

He saw a huge wild boar staring at him from a short distance away.

Xu Yao squinted and carefully examined the wild boar. The boar had a ferocious appearance, sharp tusks, and eyes full of hatred.

Its ferocious appearance made Xu Yao more vigilant; this wild boar had reached the peak of level six.

He knew he couldn't win on his own, so he immediately took out his dagger and stared intently at the wild boar.

Just then, the wild boar moved. A layer of white mist rose from its body, and it pounced on Xu Yao.

Without any hesitation, Xu Yao took a step back.

The wild boar didn't chase after them; instead, it turned and fled in another direction.

Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the wild boar leave, and then slowly sat down on the ground.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and put the dagger away.

I was almost injured by that wild boar just now.
