NOVEL NEXT Chapter 103: Witnessed an Indescribable Scene! The Giant Squirrel Runs Away with a Bucket Overnight!_2
He steeled himself for the fight.
"Minister Li, can you assess the strength of these three giant squirrels?" a Legendary Level instructor asked, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, his heart clenched with anxiety.
Minister Li shook his head. "I can't tell, but my biological instincts are constantly warning me."
"This means they pose a significant threat to me. At least one of them must be within the Epic Level Range."
"Or worse, all three could be Epic Level Creatures."
The more Minister Li spoke, the more solemn his expression became. Clearly, he had little confidence in the impending conflict.
The others, upon hearing this, also tensed up, trying to suppress the deep-seated fear within them.
Three Epic Level Creatures... If that were true, this battle would be impossible. They might as well reserve their burial plots now.
CRACK! BANG!
Suddenly, the Epic Level giant squirrel made its move.
Its muscle-bound hind legs kicked forcefully against the ground. In the next moment, the earth burst apart as the creature leaped into the air.
The giant squirrel shot forward with lightning speed, charging straight for Minister Li at the front.
The air tore with a deafening whistle as it moved.
Seeing this, Minister Li's gaze intensified, veins bulging on his arms as he chose to meet the charging giant squirrel head-on.
The next instant, a thunderous BOOM erupted!
Minister Li's arms collided with the giant squirrel's tail, unleashing a shockwave of air that knocked several instructors behind him off their feet.
"Beast, get lost!" Minister Li roared, his muscles swelling, shredding the clothes on his upper body.
Then, gripping the giant squirrel's tail, he used sheer brute force to swing the five-meter-tall behemoth into the air.
WHIR!
WHIR!
WHIR!
Minister Li, holding the giant squirrel's tail, swung it rapidly in several circles before slamming it forcefully onto the ground, fracturing a large expanse of earth.
Instantly, stones shattered, dust plumed, and the ground trembled with the impact.
However, even though this Epic Level giant squirrel had grown up on a vegetarian diet, its resilience was astonishing.
Less than a second after hitting the ground, it sprang back up and, with a fierce flick of its tail, sent Minister Li flying.
Immediately afterward, a loud CRASH resounded.
Minister Li smashed into a building and then fell silent.
The giant squirrel knew he wasn't dead and instantly charged in to finish him off.
Seeing this, the others immediately abandoned their standoff with the other two giant squirrels and rushed in to help Minister Li in any way they could.
If Minister Li fell, none of them would escape.
The other two giant squirrels, witnessing this, didn't join the melee.
Instead, they turned their gaze to the distance, pursuing the weaklings who had fled in panic.
THUD!
THUD!
THUD!
The two giant squirrels ran swiftly, kicking up earth and stones, their momentum terrifying.
Around that time, Director Zhang and his team had just finished dealing with a Demons and Monsters incident and were heading to support Minister Li's group.
Thus, they ran straight into the two giant squirrels, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.
"Quick! Stop those beasts!" Director Zhang commanded loudly, leading several leaders from the Provincial Education Bureau and instructors toward the two giant squirrels.
BANG!
THUD!
BOOM!
The clash was intense, but the situation looked grim.
Again and again, figures were sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground, their cries of agony filling the air.
At this moment, Su Yan, observing the battle from a distance, was filled with confusion as he watched the humans being mercilessly beaten.
As far as I know, the Human race is nearly invincible against other Species at the same Creature Level, he thought. Yet this scene clearly contradicts that. Despite having matching Creature Levels, the humans are being pummeled by the giant squirrels. What's going on? Is it because these giant squirrels have a size advantage?
Su Yan couldn't understand it.
The Human race, the rulers of Earth, don't seem as invincible as the textbooks describe.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted beside Su Yan, less than ten meters away.
Turning toward the sound, Su Yan saw Director Zhang lying in a crater, unable to get up.
Was he knocked down by the giant squirrel? The thought flashed through Su Yan's mind. Who could withstand such a blow?
Then, the next moment, accompanied by a ground-shaking tremor, the Half-step Epic Level giant squirrel charged over, aiming directly for Director Zhang on the ground.
Good grief! It's coming in for the kill!
Seeing this, Su Yan gritted his teeth, rushed toward Director Zhang, scooped him onto his back, and bolted.
To be honest, I originally wanted to leave him to his fate, Su Yan thought. That's a Half-step Epic Level creature. If I try to save him, I could lose my life in minutes. But... I can't just leave someone to die without at least trying to help. Worst case, I lose one life. I have two, after all.
"Su... Su Yan, put me down," Director Zhang's weak voice implored from Su Yan's back. "Or... we'll both die..." He knew that Su Yan trying to carry him to safety would only spell doom for them both.
