Chapter 38: Total Annihilation

He continued to give orders to Jasmine, who was beside him.

“Use your Spirit Hawk to carefully search this area for any powerful exotic Beast Bosses.”

Jasmine’s face paled even further when she heard him, her voice trembling.

“Bo... Boss, wha... what are we looking for a Boss for?”

“Shouldn’t we quickly find a more secluded place to hide?”

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, spoke calmly.

“Don’t ask so many questions, just do as I say.”

Jasmine nodded, obediently closing her eyes.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and said, “Five hundred meters to the northwest, there seems to be a Boss in the underground parking garage.”

“My Spirit Bird didn’t dare to approach, so it’s most likely a Boss.”

Yasuo nodded, instructing, “Hide well here.”

“Remember, no matter what happens outside, don’t come out, and don’t make any sound.”

Although Jasmine was filled with doubt and fear, she still nodded vigorously.

“I... I understand, Boss.”

Yasuo said no more, his figure flickered, and he gracefully leaped out of the second-floor window like a ghost, silently blending into the dark night.

The dilapidated small building fell silent once again, leaving only Jasmine’s nervous heartbeat.

The night in the Old City District was even more eerie and terrifying than the day.

Gusts of cold wind howled by, sweeping up withered leaves and dust from the ground, making a “rustling” sound, as if ghosts were whispering.

Yasuo moved swiftly through the maze-like ruins, relying on the Smart Core AI’s precise environmental analysis and the general direction Jasmine’s Spirit Hawk had previously scouted.

His figure flickered among the broken walls, avoiding wave after wave of wandering low-level exotic beasts.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of a mostly collapsed underground parking lot.

A strong stench of decay and sulfur permeated from the dark opening, making him nauseous.

Yasuo stopped, his sharp gaze sweeping around.

From deep within the parking lot, a muffled snoring sound, like distant thunder, could be vaguely heard, mixed with heavy breathing.

“Found it.” Zhou Huai thought to himself.

He stealthily approached with caution.

In a relatively open area on the second basement level of the parking lot, a massive monster was sprawled on the ground, sound asleep.

It was a gigantic monster, nearly three meters tall and over seven meters long.

Its appearance was like a pangolin magnified dozens of times, but its body was not covered in scales, but rather thick, dark brown keratinous layers, like natural heavy armor, shimmering with a hard metallic luster.

Its head was hideous and terrifying, a giant mouth full of sharp teeth slightly agape, emitting a foul stench, with saliva mixed with some unknown green viscous liquid dripping to the ground, making a “sizzling” corrosive sound.

Its four limbs were thick and powerful, its sharp claws dug deep into the ground, and with every breath, its massive chest and abdomen slightly rose and fell.

【Wasteland Corruptor LV28 (Elite Boss)】

【HP: 45000 / 45000】

“A level 28 Elite Boss, its health is quite high.”

Zhou Huai observed the sleeping behemoth, already having a plan in mind.

He slowly raised the Wind Breaker Longsword in his hand, its tip pointing directly at the Wasteland Corruptor.

The next instant!

【Thunderous Strike】!

Swoosh—!

A fierce bolt of Thunder Sword Qi roared out, striking the thick back armor of the Wasteland Corruptor with pinpoint accuracy!

“Clang!”

-388!

The damage wasn’t high, but it was enough to awaken the sleeping behemoth!

“Roar—!!!”

The Wasteland Corruptor suddenly awoke from its slumber, letting out a deafening roar!

The entire underground parking lot seemed to tremble slightly with its roar!

Its dark yellow, vicious eyes instantly locked onto the tiny Yasuo, filled with brutality and rage!

Yasuo, having landed a hit, didn’t linger for a moment, turning and running!

“Trying to run?!”

The Wasteland Corruptor roared, its massive body displaying agility unbefitting its size, its four limbs pushing off with force, its heavy body crushing forward like a tank, making the ground tremble!

Yasuo’s speed was extremely fast, weaving through the complex pillars of the parking lot.

The roar of the Wasteland Corruptor, like a signal, alarmed other exotic beasts in the Old City District.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

Several large mutated giant rats scurried out from dark corners, their red-glowing eyes fixed on Yasuo.

“Ho ho ho...”

In the distance, several swaying Corrupted Wanderers were also attracted, approaching with stiff steps.

For a time, the entire area became restless due to the awakening of the Wasteland Corruptor.

Seeing the tiny human still fleeing, the Wasteland Corruptor grew even angrier.

It suddenly opened its massive mouth, and a dark green acidic liquid column sprayed out like a high-pressure water gun, aimed directly at Yasuo’s back!

“Oh no!”

Zhou Huai’s heart tightened.

Yasuo suddenly pushed off with his feet, trying to dodge sideways!

Pfft!

The acid still grazed Yasuo’s left arm, and the Shadow Wind Set’s armor was instantly corroded with a large hole, a piercing pain shooting through him!

-750!

A shocking damage number floated above Yasuo’s head!

His HP instantly dropped by a large chunk!

“Damn it! This Boss’s corrosive damage is so high!” Zhou Huai cursed under his breath.

He endured the intense pain, but his footsteps didn’t falter at all, instead speeding up, rushing towards the direction where the Radiant Alliance team had last disappeared.

The Wasteland Corruptor pursued relentlessly, its massive body crashing through, crushing all obstacles in its path, followed by a large group of alarmed exotic beasts, forming a small beast tide.

...

On the other side.

The Radiant Alliance team was cautiously searching through the ruins of the Old City District.

The night was deep, and the occasional roars of exotic beasts kept everyone’s nerves taut.

“Damn it! This cursed place!” A team member couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “It’s pitch black, can’t even find a ghost!”

“Captain, do you think that kid might have already been eaten by the exotic beasts here?” another team member whispered, a hint of retreat in his tone.

This Old City District was more dangerous than they had imagined; they had just encountered a small wave of zombie dog attacks and nearly lost a member.

Scarred Captain’s face was grim, and he was also a bit nervous.

This Old City District was too large, and the terrain was complex; trying to find one person in it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

“Search a little further!” Scarred Captain gritted his teeth, “If we still don’t find anything, we’ll withdraw!”

“This cursed place is really evil!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

“Rumble...”

In the distance, a muffled sound of thunder could be vaguely heard, mixed with the roars of beasts.

“What’s that sound?” Everyone was startled, looking in the direction of the sound.

They saw a familiar figure rushing towards them like a madman from a street corner ahead!

That person had unruly black long hair loosely tied back, and faint lightning flickered around his body!

“Captain! Look! Up ahead! It’s that kid! It’s Yasuo!” A sharp-eyed team member shouted excitedly.

Scarred Captain also perked up, a sinister grin appearing on his face.

“Hahaha! You had a path to Heaven but didn’t take it, and now you’ve barged into Hell with no gate!”

“It truly is a case of searching high and low for something only to find it effortlessly!”

“Brothers, get him! Catch him, and there will be a generous reward!”

Several members of the Radiant Alliance immediately became excited, raising their weapons, ready to intercept him.

However, Scarred Captain was, after all, experienced, and he quickly noticed something was wrong.

“Wait!” He suddenly raised his hand, stopping his subordinates’ actions, “He... he seems to be coming straight for us!”

“And... behind him... Oh my god!”

Scarred Captain’s pupils suddenly constricted, the sinister grin on his face instantly froze, replaced by boundless terror!

Behind Yasuo, a terrifying, gigantic monster was in hot pursuit, its massive body making the ground tremble with every step!

Even more terrifying, behind that gigantic monster, was a dense mass of various exotic beasts, hissing and roaring, forming an unstoppable torrent!

“Damn it! This kid is screwing with us!”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

Scarred Captain was Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, without thinking, he turned and ran!

Seeing this, the other team members no longer had any thought of capturing Yasuo; their lives were more important!

One by one, they turned pale, scrambling and crawling to escape, constantly cursing Yasuo’s despicable shamelessness.

However, how could their speed be faster than Yasuo’s?

Yasuo, like an arrow released from a bowstring, reached them in a few breaths.

He didn’t even glance at these panicked Radiant Alliance members.

Just as he brushed past them!

The Thunder Armor on Yasuo’s body suddenly dimmed, then violently exploded!

“Boom!”

A violent lightning shockwave, centered on him, swept outwards in all directions!

The nine Radiant Alliance members, caught off guard, were instantly engulfed by this violent lightning power!

-155!

-162!

...

A series of damage numbers floated above their heads.

Even more deadly, the intense paralysis effect instantly stiffened their bodies, rendering them unable to move!

“Ah! My body!”

“I can’t move! Damn it!”

Desperate wails rose and fell.

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, didn’t look back, continuing to sprint frantically towards the predetermined direction.

These Radiant Alliance people no longer needed him to finish them off.

Behind him, the Wasteland ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Corruptor and that massive wave of exotic beasts had already surged forward.

The Radiant Alliance members, whose paralysis effect had just worn off, hadn’t even had time to get up before they were completely submerged by the enraged Boss and the rampaging exotic beast horde.

Screams of agony echoed through the night sky, but quickly ceased.

Blood and mangled flesh stained the dilapidated street.

...

By the window of the two-story building in the distance.

Jasmine witnessed everything, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, her pretty face filled with unbelievable shock and horror.

She personally watched as Yasuo led that terrifying Boss and a large group of exotic beasts, like herding ducks, easily sending those nine arrogant Radiant Alliance members into Hell.

The entire process was fluid, clean, and even carried a cruel artistic flair.

After a long while, Jasmine finally swallowed hard, her voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor.

“Boss... this move... is too ruthless...”
