Edge of the Apocalypse

"Look, look. I told you this was a terrible decision." The automatic handwheel rotated in Lucy's fingers, and the light from the rifle gradually faded away, leaving behind two faint golden halos in the night before disappearing like a bubble. Lucy retracted the holster from her waist and picked up the steak with a dagger, eating it slowly.

She ate carefully and ate a piece of steak for 20 minutes before patting her stomach and preparing to leave. Lucy extinguished the campfire with mud and sand, looked at the two corpses, and then turned to leave. However, after taking two steps, she suddenly cried out softly, her hand holding the tree trunk trembling slightly.

Just now, his stomach felt a cramp, and a little bit of blood melted in his mouth. She couldn't help but cough lightly and cough out a few strands of blood. The blood splattered on the white palm, and the scarlet red was still glowing with a purple firefly-colored luster. Lucy frowned. It was not that she had eaten her stomach bad, but that she was poisoned!

However, she could not figure out when she had been poisoned.

The night passed, and the day came quietly. It was still dawn. Pieces of mist moved along with the wind, like a veil flowing slowly between the mountain rocks and trees. Dongfang Lubai, everything awakened, lazy morning light plated Lin Ye with a layer of platinum luster. A few rays of morning light drilled through the gap between the leaves of a tall fir tree and gradually slid down to the bottom of the tree. There was a cluster of shrubs at the bottom of the tree. The shrubs were gently blown by the morning breeze and swayed slightly, revealing a deep and dim space behind them.

It turned out to be a tree hole.

A sword-toothed berserk wolf jumped down a low slope and lowered its head to smell something on the ground with its sensitive nose. The sword tooth of the berserk wolf that had rolled out from under its lips left two shallow traces on the ground. Whether it was leaves or soil, if the sword tooth was slightly carried by it, it would quietly crack open. The berserk wolf went all the way to the bush and suddenly raised its head. Then, it used its two front claws to cut open the bush, revealing a tall tree hole behind it.

Inside the tree hole, one could vaguely see a figure curled up.

Alan suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely dangerous feeling climbed up his heart like a small snake. That cold and smooth touch made him lose all sleep.

Afterwards, he saw the Berserk Wolf's beast pupils that were glowing with a dim yellow luster.

Without even thinking about it, the tactical saber turned into a bolt of lightning that stabbed straight into the eyes of the berserk wolf. No matter what kind of dangerous species they were, their eyes were always one of the few weaknesses. The berserk wolf was no exception. This berserk wolf had just discovered its prey and was not happy. Suddenly, the prey attacked explosively. The long saber that stabbed towards the eye made the berserk wolf jump after being shocked.

Alan took the opportunity to drill out of the tree hole, pointing at the front of the saber and holding the hilt of Berserk Tu's saber in his other hand. He lowered his body slightly. He bent his body forward and saw the ground with his feet. He was ready to pounce at any moment. This posture made the Berserk Wolf feel extremely familiar. Suddenly, it understood that the prey in front of it did not feel like a human, but rather, it looked like its own kind, or some kind of close relative.

That was the posture of the Snow Wolf before it attacked!

Sword Tooth Berserk Wolf, Level 3 Danger Species. Strength and speed specialization, hollow sword teeth, poisonous sac, bite prey will release nerve paralysis toxin. Information about this dangerous species quickly flowed through Alan's mind. The source of the information was naturally the "Biological Atlas" Hughton had given him. Naturally, Alan focused his attention on the two most dangerous weapons of the Berserk Wolf.

Sword Tooth!

The berserk wolf growled softly. It was very hungry. In the past week, it has only hunted one horned deer. It's been more than five days since its last meal, and it's been filling its stomach with water for the past few days. Its fat has fallen rapidly in the heat of hunger, reaching the danger level. If it can't eat anything else, it'll starve to death soon.

The human youth in front of him didn't have much meat in the eyes of the berserk wolf. But with his well-proportioned body, his muscle fibers would be enriched by ordinary prey. More muscle fibers means more energy. Eating this youth was enough for the Berserk Wolf to survive for another week.

Although this youth also made it feel dangerous, hunger overwhelmed this feeling. Thus, a circle of hair around the Berserk Wolf's neck suddenly exploded. That was a sign of attack!

Alan's pupils dilated slightly and his body lowered. At this moment, the Berserk Wolf pounced over. Its speed was even one or two points faster than Qiao, who was good at using tactical sabers yesterday! Almost at the same time, Alan suddenly moved sideways, but a bloody light still shot up from his shoulder. The clothes were torn, and a few cuts were made on his shoulder. The Berserk Wolf missed a single strike and jumped nimbly. It followed a zigzag trajectory, moving faster than lightning!

It was another powerful bite. This time, Alan used the spinning step. His body spun like a top, dodging the attack trajectory of the berserk wolf. Alan's eyes turned cold as he stabbed down with lightning and stabbed into the Berserk Wolf's left claw, nailing it to the ground along with the meat pads under its claws.

The berserk wolf was in pain and roared as it tried to break free. At this time, a black arc flashed through his eyes, and his anger, hunger, and fire melted like snow. No matter how angry a wild beast was, when its head fell to the ground, it naturally couldn't get angry. Alan held Kuang Tu's hand as steady as a mountain. A crescent moon slash from the black broadsword cut off the Berserk Wolf's entire head.

The wolf blood spat out straight at Alan, and he could even feel the hot droplets of blood dripping down his face.

In his bright red pupils, the flames gradually extinguished. Ellen exhaled, put away the Berserk Slaughter, and pulled out the long saber that was stabbing the beast's claws. He walked in front of the Berserk Wolf's head and used his dagger to lift out the two sword teeth that were more than twenty centimeters long. The Berserk Wolf's sword teeth were extremely sharp. They could be used as short blades or as traps. Especially the poisonous sac in the tooth, it was even more valuable.

He took out his luggage from the tree hole and put away the sword teeth. He didn't even wipe off the wolf blood and continued on his journey. The wolf blood on his body would retain the scent of a berserk wolf for a certain period of time. The scent of a third-grade dangerous species would allow most low-grade dangerous species to take a detour. Alan could save him a lot of trouble.

As they continued to advance towards the designated location, the trees grew thicker and thicker. Two hours later, Alan climbed up a low slope. Sunlight fell from behind him, forming a golden patch on the grass slope, casting long shadows on the trees on the slope. Alan hid himself in one of the shadows and squatted on the grass slope to look down. A familiar figure slid into his eyes.

Lucy.

The blonde girl, with her ponytails tied, was sitting on the grass and resting under a tall tree. Her complexion was not very good, and her pale face had a faint green hue. Even the hand holding the pistol trembled slightly from time to time.

Alan frowned and left the shadows, sliding down the grass slope.

When she heard the commotion, Lucy immediately raised her gun and did not slow down at all. If he didn't look at her expression, he really wouldn't be able to see her peculiar appearance. After seeing that it was Alan, she heaved a sigh of relief and put down her gun, revealing a forced smile.

"Are you injured?" Alan walked over.

Lucy shrugged and spread her hands, "You must be poisoned, to be exact. But you look worse than me, are you alright?"

The wolf blood on Alan's body had already dried up, turning into a dark red trail of blood. He looked at the wound that had been caught by the berserk wolf, where he had already sprayed a hemostatic spray. Now that the wound was slightly closed, there was no longer any bleeding. He shook his head, "Skin wounds, nothing. But you, how did you get poisoned?"

"This is the problem." Lucy smiled bitterly. "I can't remember when I was poisoned, let alone who poisoned me."

"Tell me about your current situation." Alan squatted down and said.

"This kind of poison is very concealed, I guess it's a chronic poison. Before I fought against the two idiots last night, I clearly remembered that nothing had happened to my body. However, after the battle, the poison started to break out. Now that the poison has been mixed into my blood, I'll use my own Origin Energy to suppress it, but it shouldn't last long. "If the poison goes into the heart with the blood …" Lucy made a slit-throat gesture.

Alan looked at her in a bad mood, and even so, Lucy still looked careless.

"How much time do you have left?" Alan asked.

"Ever since the poisoning last night, I've been using Origin Energy to neutralize the poison. It's probably because the poison isn't strong enough to last for about 15 hours. Otherwise, it's just my little Origin Energy." Lucy laughed, her face full of self-mockery.

"The other party doesn't dare to use too powerful poison. Otherwise, your mentor will notice it beforehand. This is a chronic poison. The purpose is to kill you in the death arena. In this way, that person will be able to reap your points." Alan stood up and looked around. "The time of the poison attack should be very clear to the other party. Judging from the time of the attack, the other party won't be far away from you. The distance should be controlled within a day's journey."

"But at this point, how would the person who poisoned you determine your location? Unless …" Allen said in a low voice, "The other party knows where you're going!"

Lucy said, "You mean Emily?"

Ever since Mike set up the trap to cripple Alan before the death arena began, Lucy and her little group broke up, and only Emily remained by her side. Similarly, only Emily knew how they would gather. More importantly, there was no news that Emily had been killed, and she herself had not appeared yet.

In this way, she was the most suspicious.

Lucy couldn't believe it, but she wasn't naive enough to deny it. Even though Emily looked kind and harmless, who would be able to represent a district in the death arena? If she was so pure, she would have been killed in the training camp long ago. But Lucy couldn't figure out how Emily did it.

"Stay here and don't move. You'd better find a hidden place to hide. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Take care of yourself. I'll go find that person." "Normally, there should be an antidote on him so he can threaten you if he needs it," Allen said.

"Actually, the best thing you can do now is to leave me. If you get involved in this matter, even you will be in danger." Lucy shrugged. "In the end, our alliance lasted until we killed everyone else. And now, it's hard for me to fulfill the duties of an ally."
