As soon as they entered the territory, the gaze of a Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf directly targeted the person it had previously chosen and leapt toward them.
This time, there was no protective shield to block them, and the large body of the Dark Demon Wolf fell, with its two front paws pressing down on two people, biting off their necks without hesitation, and then lowering its head to feast greedily.
As it fed, its Blood Bar became slightly visible.
Some people, upon seeing this scene for the first time, vomited out loud.
But the Demon Beasts didn't give them time to react, and the Dark Demon Wolves following the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf also began their slaughter.
Thanks to the experience gained from hunting Demon Beasts over the past two days, some people quickly regrouped, taking up arms to battle.
However, not everyone's mental resilience was strong enough, and faced with Demon Beasts invading their perceived safe territory, their minds were filled with one thought: escape.
But the wolves' habits meant they targeted those who attempted to flee first.
Several people turned to flee only to be chased down by the Dark Demon Wolves, knocked down, and savagely bitten, as a thicker stench of blood permeated the scene, turning it into a hellish realm.
When Zhou Bai and Li Xingteng returned to the territory, this was the scene they saw, and their faces turned grim, especially with that Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, killing and eating indiscriminately, treating this place as its hunting ground. Its reckless actions scared more people, causing panic and chaos.
Without making an effort to control the situation, it would only worsen!
It was at this moment that the system notified Zhou Bai.
[The fence has been repaired, real-time mode continues.]
[Dear Host, your territory has been invaded by Demon Beasts, please eliminate them promptly.]
[Note: If the territory has no surviving residents, it indicates the territory has been breached and will disappear.]
Seeing the system's reminder, Zhou Bai swiftly dealt with a Dark Demon Wolf that tried to attack him and glanced back.
Seeing the fence truly repaired, Zhou Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was much more difficult for the outside Dark Demon Wolves to breach the fence, so as long as they dealt with the Demon Beasts within the territory, the crisis would pass.
In the next moment, Zhou Bai raised his voice to remind everyone: "The territory fence is repaired, please strive to kill the Demon Beasts within the territory."
As soon as he finished, everyone heard it and instinctively paid attention outside, sure enough seeing many Dark Demon Wolves blocked out.
Li Xingteng understood the meaning behind Zhou Bai's words and quickly warned: "We have Level 5 people among us who can deal with the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, you just need to handle the other Demon Beasts."
Li Xingteng's words reassured many who worried about facing the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, and they began to help command some of the new survivors.
"Yes! Stop running! Don't space out! Pick up your weapon and fight!"
"If you don't respond, you'll only face one outcome: death."
"Do you want to die immediately or fight to survive?"
"Form teams with those around you, stand back-to-back, and aim your weapons at the Demon Beasts."
"..."
More and more people began coordinating efforts, and order slowly returned to the scene, facing the hungry Dark Magic Beasts, their counterattacks intensified.
For a while, casualties began to decrease.
Watching as the crowd gradually found their rhythm, Zhou Bai focused all his attention on the Level 5 Dark Magic Beast.
After devouring some people, the aura of the Level 5 Dark Magic Beast became even stronger!
And due to the distraction caused by other residents, Zhou Bai's group finally seized the opportunity to catch up to the Level 5 Demon Beast.
The moment it was not far from him, Zhou Bai rushed forward with an Iron Axe, each strike faster and harder, quickly changing locations after each attack, entering harassment mode.
All she had in mind was: she must kill him!
The Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf was clearly annoyed, dodging Zhou Bai's attacks while focusing on attacking her alone, its massive paw aimed at Zhou Bai's head, ready to smash down fiercely.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a paw-shaped hole was left in the ground, and Zhou Bai dodged it.
But looking at the hole, it was clear how hard the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf struck.
Immediately, the wolf's attacks grew increasingly fierce and faster.
Leaving Li Xingteng and his team unable to intervene.
Given the circumstances, Zhou Bai quickly shifted from offense to defense, constantly leading the Level 5 Demon Beast around in circles, slowly moving it away from crowded areas.
Watching them go further, two Guard Team members beside Li Xingteng wanted to chase after them but were stopped by Li Xingteng.
"Let's deal with the other level Dark Demon Wolves first, then go help her; we can't let them level up by consuming humans."
"But..."
"Trust her, and this is her intention as well," Li Xingteng said through gritted teeth, holding a weapon and heading towards a Dark Demon Wolf lunging at people.
It's still so inefficient, needing a kid to take the lead, embarrassing!
Others listened and could only follow his lead.
So, while Zhou Bai tangled with the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf, the other Dark Demon Wolves were gradually being eliminated.
The Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf also became aware of Zhou Bai's intent and started trying to bypass Zhou Bai and change direction. He only needed a bit more flesh and blood to level up, after which the "food" in front of him would no longer be a match.
But having learned from past mistakes, Zhou Bai wasn't about to let him leave her sight, continuing despite taking hits and seeing her Life Value fall, to block his path, preventing his approach to others.
Time ticked by, and amid the screams and wails, the Dark Demon Wolves within the territory were being eliminated one by one with everyone's combined effort.
Finally, the Dark Demon Wolves within the territory were pretty much resolved.
Once this was confirmed, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng, from the crowd, headed towards Zhou Bai without hesitation.
In no time, they reached where Zhou Bai was, and when the Level 5 Dark Magic Beast struck, they absorbed the blow without hesitation; they were at Level 5 too!
Immediately, others also reacted, and those with spare strength rushed towards him, more and more people gathering, frantically hacking and stabbing with axes and guns.
Despite the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf's speed, its Blood Bar was rapidly depleting.
Finally, when the last sliver of blood was gone, the Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf fell, disbelief flashing in its eyes at the moment of collapse.
With a sound, its massive body fell to the ground.
Yet, the surrounding people's attacks did not cease, ruthlessly stabbing and assaulting until its body turned into light and vanished.
After its disappearance, the Dark Demon Wolves attacking the fence swiftly howled, preparing to retreat.
Their howls quickly drew a lot of attention.
Everyone's eyes flashed with determination.
"Charge! Don't let them escape!"
The frenzied residents couldn't let them get away, ignoring the lack of protective shield outside, pursuing single, heavily injured Demon Beasts relentlessly.
As time passed, the area surrounding the territory gradually grew empty.
Reacting to the end of this wave of attack, many people's legs gave way, collapsing to the ground.
"It's over!"
"We've won!"
"Yeah! We've won!"
"Woohoo~ We've won!"
"..."
The crowd on the scene was crying and laughing.
They cried over the hardship they faced.
They laughed for having survived.
At this moment, Zhou Bai also let out a breath he had been holding, sitting directly on the ground.
It was at this moment that numerous new notifications appeared on the control panel in front of Zhou Bai.
Looking at these notifications, Zhou Bai's lips curled into a bitter smile.
So this was the case!
It truly is... a cruel world!
