Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 140 The Source of the Black Qi! Slaying a 7th-Tier Savage Bull!

A moment later, another twenty people stepped forward and stood in a row.

Originally, Xiao Yu only planned to select 10 more people.

But in tonight's battle, he hunted down several sixth-tier ferocious beasts and obtained a large amount of top-tier materials.

With these materials, another batch of Tier 4 quasi-divine weapons and armor can be forged.

"Same old rules! Joining the special forces means all benefits will be doubled! Get a good rest tonight, and everyone will receive enhancement drugs tomorrow. However..." Xiao Yu repeated the special forces' benefits, and the dozens of selected people's eyes lit up.

Upon hearing this, Chenlong and the others were all extremely excited.

After all... they had been longing for the enhancement drug for a long time, and now they had finally gotten it!

And... it's free to use!

Seeing the strong reaction from the crowd, Xiao Yu spoke again:

"You're celebrating too soon! Don't think that joining the special forces means you can rest easy!"

"After the trade fair ends, I will conduct another selection process. So... those who didn't perform well before still have a chance, while newly selected members of the special forces team may be eliminated if they don't work hard!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they were overjoyed once again.

Everyone swore they would train twice as hard when they got back! They'd train until they died!

Seeing this, Honglian and the other girls couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Xiao Yu only used a few tricks to drive these people crazy.

They could already imagine it.

In the time that followed, these people would train like madmen.

But... this is actually for the best.

Everyone is working hard, and that's how Longcheng will get better and better.

"Lord City Lord, these ferocious beasts seem very strange tonight!" Chen Long suddenly reminded Xiao Yu as he prepared to return.

“Brother! Chenlong is right. The black aura on these ferocious beasts is so dense. I wonder if there will be any problems if we eat their flesh?” Honglian stared intently at the ferocious beasts, her face serious.

“Something is definitely not right tonight…” Xiao Yu nodded solemnly.

I don't know when it started, but black mist began to permeate the forest.

No one knows what this black mist is or where it comes from.

All I know is that... this black energy is highly corrosive and can corrupt a person's mind!

Even a seventh or eighth-tier powerhouse would completely lose their mind and turn into a monster if they inhaled too much of the black energy...

"Moo!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, a beastly roar pierced the night sky.

The enormous sound waves spread out, and everyone felt a pang of fear.

"Hiss~ Seventh rank! There's actually a seventh rank ferocious beast hidden deep in this forest!" At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't believe it.

A seventh-tier ferocious beast! None of the people present had ever seen one before!

after all...

Everyone who saw them is dead!

"Interesting, we've actually encountered a seventh-tier ferocious beast!" Despite everyone's tension and worry, Xiao Yu showed interest instead. He waved his hand and said, "You all go back to the city first, I'll go and deal with that seventh-tier ferocious beast."

"Brother...this black mist is extremely dangerous!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord, no matter how strong you are, but..."

Honglian and the other women all looked worried and wanted to speak up to dissuade them.

This is a seventh-tier ferocious beast!

A ferocious beast comparable to a dragon turtle is absolutely terrifying!

Most importantly... this black mist is too dangerous!

The deeper into the forest, the denser the black aura.

That's why...

The monsters deep in the forest are becoming increasingly ferocious, irrational, and powerful!

It's because... it was severely corrupted by the dark energy.

"Don't worry, it's just some black energy!" Xiao Yu waved his hand again.

With that, he took off and flew straight into the depths of the forest.

These black fumes were like some kind of poison, and their effect on him was negligible.

After all... possessing the Lightning Sable's highly venomous talent, he was already immune to all poisons!

Moreover... killing a seventh-tier ferocious beast would cost at least tens of thousands of energy stones!

And its entire body covered in scales and fur!

"Moo!"

After flying more than ten miles into the depths of the forest, Xiao Yu finally saw the true form of the ferocious beast.

This is a giant bull that is over ten meters tall and more than twenty meters long.

Its entire body was gray, shrouded in dense black energy, and its eyes were bloodshot; it had completely lost its mind.

Xiao Yu glanced around and frowned slightly.

His body was immune to all poisons, but he still felt extremely uncomfortable after entering this place.

It's because... the black mist here is like the night sky, completely enveloping the entire forest.

Moreover... that giant bull was only a kilometer or two away from him.

Xiao Yu could only see its shape, but not the whole bull.

This shows just how dense the black aura was.

"Moo~"

Upon seeing Xiao Yu, a human, the giant bull roared and charged forward.

"These horns are quite impressive!" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the giant bull.

Since ancient times, ox horn has been the best material for making bows!

Without hesitation, Xiao Yu took out an arrow from behind his back and shot it.

Phew!

They were less than a kilometer away, yet their size was enormous.

The bull had no way to dodge or escape.

Its abdomen was instantly pierced by a jet-black arrow, leaving a wound the size of a washbasin.

Suddenly, blood flowed like a torrent.

The seventh-tier bull stumbled and fell to the ground.

But at that moment, the black mist seemed to come alive, frantically pouring into the bull's mouth and nose.

Then... that gruesome wound, the size of a washbasin, began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hiss~ How is this possible?" Xiao Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this.

A human expert at the seventh or eighth level who is hit by this arrow will definitely die!

But now...

This was the first time he had ever discovered that the ferocious beast could actually heal its injuries by inhaling this black energy.

What the hell is this thing?

At this moment, the bull seemed to have been aroused and charged forward at full speed.

"Since that's the case... let's try again and see how many arrows you can withstand!" Xiao Yu's eyes sharpened.

Seeing that the bull had already charged within a few hundred meters, he slammed his hands on the ground.

The power of the earth is activated!

Instantly, the ground turned into a wave-like liquid.

The bull's massive body sank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, only its head remained.

The bull was incredibly strong, but the more it struggled, the faster it sank.

Xiao Yu drew another arrow and instantly aimed it at the bull's head, piercing it through with a single shot!

Followed by.

With a stomp of his foot, a rock giant over ten meters tall rose from the ground, wielding a massive stone sword formed from solidified stone, which he then brought down with a swift motion.

The bull's head was severed, and it remained completely still.

"Phew~ That was close! Thank goodness it was me!"

This was Xiao Yu's first time fighting such a high-level ferocious beast, and such a bizarre scene occurred. Even he was taken aback. If he didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, he might have really been caught off guard and suffered a crushing defeat.

However... he was also somewhat exhausted from using powerful killing moves in succession.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu took out the Bull's Energy Stone.

[System, redeem energy points!]

[Ding! Redemption successful! You have gained 21 energy points!]
