’Damn! Is this considered twenty times harder?
But... it’s also challenging.’
Zhang Feng saw this scene and did not run; instead, he held the knife in front of him and said to the shopkeeper and others:
"What the hell are you waiting for? Don’t hide in the car or the shop, run directly in the opposite direction!
Their strength can break car windows and shutter doors!"
Under the fearful yet surprised gazes of the crowd, Zhang Feng walked along the wall of the row of storefronts toward the monster.
Actually, Zhang Feng didn’t want to waste the chance of resurrection to try fighting multiple opponents.
But judging by strength, using the terrain, one hand defending a pass would be enough to deal with them.
Therefore, protecting innocent people is necessary because rescuing everyone or most people offers a reward.
The shopkeeper and others on the street reacted later and turned to run to the other end of the street.
Zhang Feng kept watching the monster, but his peripheral vision scanned the surroundings for a sharper, longer weapon.
Twenty-four monsters measured Zhang Feng but did not act rashly; instead, they gradually spread out, trying to form an encirclement.
The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength.
Zhang Feng slowly lowered his body, focusing on the closest monster.
It sprinted a few steps and leaped at him.
Similar to the monster’s movement in the initial trial.
Simultaneously, Zhang Feng slightly turned his body, and when it was parallel to him, the blade quickly swung upward.
A light hissing sound; its throat was cut open by several centimeters.
Its body landed behind, under a growl of despair and madness, its figure began to falter.
Zhang Feng didn’t look at it but continued to focus on the nearest monster, listening for the footsteps behind from the dying creature.
’At my initial trial with 15 Constitution as a fitness enthusiast, plus 2 points from the Eight Trigrams Palm.
If I had a knife then, it would have been a kill shot.
Because I could hit it, the knife could reach it.
But now it’s easier, I can save the greatest power and achieve the best outcome.’
Zhang Feng’s breathing was steady, although he had just ’killed’ a monster, it felt as easy as walking or drinking water.
Unless three approached simultaneously, then it would require effort.
"Roar..." The remaining monsters hesitated upon seeing their kind on the verge of death.
Zhang Feng thought they were going to retreat.
The dying monster behind him used its last strength, pouncing at Zhang Feng’s back.
The three monsters ahead also attacked Zhang Feng from the front, left, and right.
Zhang Feng, based on the wind sound from behind, instead of breaking through the direction of the heavily wounded monster, took a half-step in the direction of his knife-hand, and thrust the knife diagonally into the right monster’s eye, stirring its brainstem.
Then Zhang Feng, as if he had eyes on his back, turned and drew his knife in reverse, killing the monster charging from the front, stabbing the dagger from its gaping mouth through the back of its head.
At this moment, the left-side monster and the others did not proceed forward but scattered and fled.
Leaving only the one struggling on the brink of death.
It stumbled a few steps and also lay down on the ground, its breath gradually slowing.
’This tactic of retreat to advance is quite something. If it were based on the initial trial’s Eight Trigrams Palm, even with a weapon, I’d likely still lose.’
Zhang Feng exhaled, having used overclocking just now, otherwise such rapid muscle movement was impossible.
These monsters’ constitution was just like the initial encounter, very powerful.
Zhang Feng didn’t pursue those who scattered to unknown places.
Better to save time by regrouping with the shopkeeper and others ahead.
Now they were watching him dazedly from the distance.
"Is Old Zhang really that powerful?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"Did he scare off a bunch of monsters alone?"
The crowd was excited.
Zhang Feng didn’t care about them but was pondering something.
First, if the mode this time is the same as the initial.
Then finding an exit, and opening the transparent barrier, is surely what ’non-mainline, unlock’ means.
Also, Zhang Feng felt this transparent canopy technology, along with the monster deployment, must be some civilization trial.
Maybe this grand cosmos has some advanced civilization, setting fixed areas surrounded by monsters.
As for why they do this, Zhang Feng thought it could be like humans playing with ants, doing it out of desire.
Or for some experimental purpose.
Anyway, as a non-advanced civilization being, who knows.
Regardless of the reason.
Zhang Feng now feels like he was transported back to the past time-space, disrupting this trial through the reversal of text.
Just like the initial trial.
The goal is to find an ’exit.’
With this in mind, Zhang Feng walked in front of the crowd while reminiscing about this city.
This city, even this world, is different from the world.
Entirely another ’planet.’
That skyscraper doesn’t exist.
Zhang Feng fell into contemplation.
The people beside, seeing the expert contemplating, didn’t dare speak.
After pondering for a few seconds, Zhang Feng thought about possibly heading to the ’border’ for a look?
Perhaps something inspiring would be at the transparent barrier’s edge.
"Let’s move to a safe place."
Zhang Feng didn’t waste words or explain, saying just one sentence, then directly passing the crowd, looking at the dagger and knife in his hand.
After chopping three monsters, not a single dent; it’s indeed a fine tool.
