Pretending To Be A Boss

"Yes."

"Such creatures actually exist?"

Some of them looked back but couldn't see anything at all. Everything was still tranquil.

Only someone with extreme vision like Ye Feng could catch faint traces.

The group began to retreat rapidly, their mission now changed to escorting Song Que to the defensive stronghold, to light the signal fire for retreat.

The participation of catastrophe-level creatures in the battle made it almost impossible to turn the tide.

Yet, they hadn't considered that hidden within the horde of beasts was a cataclysmic boss monster.

And it was the most terrifying kind.

No matter what kind of enemy they faced, humans could always retreat to the transmission station.

But without time, there was no way to retreat.

During the rapid retreat of Song Que and the others, suddenly, ten streaks of lightning-fast light flashed by.

The speed of the light was so swift that Song Que and the others couldn't even see it clearly.

Even Ye Feng, with his superior vision, only caught a glimpse, because it all happened too fast.

So fast that his brain couldn't come to a conclusion before the beams of light disappeared.

"What was that just now? Did you see it? I felt like several streaks of light passed by!" the one-eyed king said.

"Yes, a total of ten," Ye Feng said.

The group was about to leave Sun Maple Forest, and Ye Feng could even see the vague hordes of beasts in the distance.

Humans were battling with the horde of beasts; without the catastrophe-level creatures, the powerful Human Federation was finally suppressing the enemy for the first time.

"We might be too late," Ye Feng said somewhat desperately.

"What's wrong?" Gu Luo asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, the ten or so streaks of light just now... must be the lightning-fast, super catastrophe-level creature, Lei Xiao!"

The group fell silent and quickened their steps even more.

Song Que finally understood that the beasts were not showing weakness, but had changed their strategy.

They no longer sent out those huge creatures but dispatched units like assassins, with lesser destructive power, but incredibly fast offensive capabilities.

Lei Xiao, the creature with unmatched speed among the beasts.

As a catastrophe-level species, its destructive power was only about the same as elite-level creatures, and its vitality was at the level of ordinary perfect creatures.

But it possessed a speed that even cataclysmic creatures couldn't compare with.

Akasi, who had been injected with Lei Xiao serum, had become the fastest human.

Even Akasi, however, only had a synchronization rate of less than twenty percent. If it were Lei Xiao itself, how much faster could it be?

This was already an utterly unknown realm.

Song Que could even be certain that a single Lei Xiao could assassinate any human target.

Ten Lei Xiaos deployed into a battle involving tens of thousands of people seemed inconsequential, but they had a fatal impact on humans!

Song Que and the others, in full retreat, could already hear the sounds of the Human Federation and beasts clashing.

Countless hunters and regular troops were fighting desperately.

The ten streaks of lightning were like light bouncing off countless mirrors, traveling through the entire battlefield at an unbelievable speed, untouchable by any creature, even invisible to sight.

But where the lightning passed, there were continuously humans fatally slashed by their sharp edges.

All of them were the most talented, at the forefront of the human elite!

Song Que and the other top talents finally rushed back to the battlefield, but even Song Que and Ye Feng, two exceptional "eyes," were completely unable to keep up with the speed of Lei Xiao.

The situation changed in an instant.

The kill count of Lei Xiao was small, one at a time, but ten Lei Xiaos were like a frenzy, incessantly slaying the talented without pause.

No matter how powerful the doctors' treatments were, under the terrifying speed of Lei Xiao, they were pale and ineffective.

The ten streaks of lightning continuously sliced through the battlefield.

Song Que could not imagine that ten catastrophe-level creatures could deliberately reach such a horrifying degree.

Their threat was far greater than the previous gigantic catastrophe-level creatures.

The hunters gradually felt fear as well.

These lightning-fast creatures remained unseen by anyone until now.

This was akin to a death ray. Wherever it passed, life was doomed to wither!

And as the quiet behind them grew heavier, Song Que began to have an ominous premonition. He thought of a terrifying possibility—

Zero! It was heading for the transmission station!
