The fierce lion rampaged across the plains, killing sniper after sniper. Yuan didn't even have a chance to see what their invisible adversaries really looked like. A foreign language could be heard from the distance and a great rumbling began.
"Yuan, he might need help. Get your amulet ready." said Hana who held her standard beam aimed at the bushes.
"Liyung said to stay down. I don't want-"
A large ape rolled down the nearby hill, ramming itself into the harvest vehicle. The sheer sight of it struck immense fear into Yuan and Hana. Like Liyung, it was pure muscle. That amount of body mass must have taken decades to cultivate. Yuan had the feeling that if it desired to bend ship grade metal, it would be able to without much resistance.
The ape let out a low roar and violently slammed into the harvesting vehicle once again!
The metal body let out a violent roar, and the entire vehicle shook violently, followed by a figure being thrown fiercely away - it was Gouro!
His body smashed heavily into the ground with a muffled sound.
In the next instant, the ape leapt up high, a huge shadow enveloping Guoro's body - it wanted to crush him alive!
--Swish!
A residual shadow that tore through the air flashed by.
It was Liyung!
He swept by like a gale, his sharp claws cutting a silver arc in mid-air, instantly tearing through the ape's skin, leaving blood to erupt like a fountain.
The ape roared in pain and anger.
Its roar spread across the plains, echoing in the wind. More apes were responding - they were coming!
Instead of retreating, Liyung lunged up again, facing the furious beast head on! Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and the opportunity was fleeting!
He gripped his amulet tightly and rushed towards the apes with all his might, preparing to project an electronic wave-
Bang!
A huge arm swung from the side! The ape's fist almost grazed against Yuan's chest, and the terrifying impact instantly drained all the air from him!
With a loud jolt--
Yuan's body flipped in the air, blood rushing madly into his eardrums, his consciousness blurred, and his chest stung as if it was being torn apart.
Before he could land, the corner of his eye saw that below the sun, a dark shadow was rapidly enlarging-
Another ape was smashing through the air!
Bang!
The ground exploded and dust splattered in all directions, like swarms of rubber bullets frantically smashing into Yuan's body!
His body hit the ground so hard that pain spread sluggishly, but his intuition told him-
It wasn't over yet!
The next punch would be not just a graze, but a fatal blow!
