Chapter 172: I Lose If I Get Hit Once

“Go!”

“Don’t let them break down the iron gate.”

“Take turns attacking. Everyone is out of energy, so we must save our strength.”

In the dark night, even with the headlights of the cars inside the residential complex turned on, they were of little use under the gray fog.

But no matter how unfavorable the environment was, the residents who had fought all day had completely let go of their fear. No longer needing Guo Huai to command them, they spontaneously took turns attacking the Evil Beasts outside the iron gate.

Only after driving the Evil Beasts that were ramming the gate away did the crowd have a short break.

Because those Evil Beasts, finding that ramming the gate was useless, temporarily gave up their attacks and dragged their injured companions nearby to retreat one by one.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

One hour.

This rest period felt unusually long. They rested for a full two hours before the new wave of Evil Beasts attacks appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Roar~~”

A low and hoarse roar echoed. The Evil Beasts that had surrounded the iron gate stepped aside one by one, and a large Evil Beast over two meters tall walked forward slowly.

The two fangs at the corner of its mouth were extremely glaring, and there was a backward-pointing horn on its forehead. It was clearly not a kind creature.

“A Fanged Evil Beast that has undergone a second baptism!”

Seeing this newly appearing Evil Beast, Mo Xiaobai’s heart sank. Even though he had guessed this might happen, he still did not want his prediction to come true.

“We have to let it in, or the iron gate will collapse before long.”

Mo Xiaobai knew that every baptism the Evil Beasts underwent would cause an extraordinary qualitative change, and the gap was as obvious as the change for a Player before and after a Class Transfer.

Since the iron gate could not even block a continuous attack from ordinary Evil Beasts, it certainly could not stop this Fanged Evil Beast.

“Do you think we can let it in?” Guo Huai was also hesitant. Just from its aura, you could see this Fanged Evil Beast was not to be trifled with, so how could he dare to make such a decision.

If they could not handle it, more than just one or two people would die.

“If we let it in now, we at least still have a shred of initiative.”

Mo Xiaobai spoke firmly, then added, “When the gate opens, I will handle it. You must block the other Evil Beasts. I will lead it inside, and you will attack from the outside. If you can control the situation outside quickly, Old Guo, you must come and help me immediately. This is our only chance. Otherwise, if another such Evil Beast appears later, we will have to flee for our lives.”

Strike proactively!

Mo Xiaobai had no other choice but to make this decision!

He could not pin his hopes on the experience where Guo Huai survived this slaughter in his previous life. The Butterfly Effect had already happened, and Mo Xiaobai dared not gamble that his two lives would be exactly the same.

After Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, before Guo Huai could open his mouth, someone else on the other side chimed in: “Why don’t we just try it?”

“This monster gives me the creeps. The iron gate might not be able to hold it off for sure.”

“Yeah, it’s a gamble either way. If we win, we all live.”

As several people around him spoke up one after another, Guo Huai picked up his baton, stood up, and said, “Go three people to protect Doctor Liu and retreat first. I will open the gate. Let’s do exactly as Little Mo said!”

After speaking, Guo Huai’s gaze turned toward Mo Xiaobai.

He said nothing, but his meaning was clear.

Mo Xiaobai nodded heavily. While lifting his stick, he walked toward the police car, took out a tactical dagger, and tucked it into his waist.

“Let’s start!”

With Mo Xiaobai’s low whisper, Guo Huai walked forward slowly to the iron gate.

At this moment, the distance between him and the Fanged Evil Beast was less than one meter. To say he was not nervous was a total lie. However, Guo Huai still forced himself to suppress the trembling and slowly opened the iron gate.

At the same time, the Fanged Evil Beast stepped back two steps, bent its hind legs slightly, and assumed a posture ready to pounce at any moment.

“Creak~”

“Roar~”

The sound of the gate opening and the hoarse roar happened at the same time. Before Guo Huai could push the iron gate open a bit wider, he hurriedly retreated.

The moment he stepped back, the Fanged Evil Beast charged forward with a roar.

Its momentum did not diminish after crashing through the iron gate. It still pounced toward the human closest to it.

Mo Xiaobai!

Holding his stick with both hands, Mo Xiaobai suddenly knelt on the ground the instant the giant Fanged Evil Beast pounced at him. With both hands, he thrust the long stick into the Evil Beast’s chest.

Giving his all, he flipped the Fanged Evil Beast to the ground.

The next moment, the Evil Beasts outside the gate surged forward like a tidal wave. Before Guo Huai could ask about Mo Xiaobai’s situation, he swung his baton and rushed into the beast herd.

A group of residents fought a chaotic battle with the Evil Beasts near the gate, and the fight between Mo Xiaobai and the Fanged Evil Beast had just begun.

In the first exchange, Mo Xiaobai had the advantage because he was calculating while the other was not, gaining a slight upper hand. But he knew that even a small injury was no big deal for an Evil Beast, much like him tripping on a basketball court.

“Although I can’t kill it with one hit, if I accumulate a little bit of advantage, the person who definitely wins in the end will be me!”

With a belief of certain victory, Mo Xiaobai lifted his long stick and charged at the Fanged Evil Beast. Just before making contact with the opponent, he suddenly sidestepped, his body sliding past the Evil Beast’s front paws.

In the next second, Mo Xiaobai drew his short dagger and directly stabbed toward the Evil Beast.

The stab took less than half a breath. After striking once, Mo Xiaobai did not even look at his result. He immediately ran toward the back of the residential complex.

There were too many people near the gate. He had to lure this thing away.

“Roar~”

Having been wounded by several exchanges, how could the Fanged Evil Beast let Mo Xiaobai go so easily? The moment it landed, it turned around to give chase. At this moment, there was only one target in its eyes that it wanted to eat, which was this annoying human in front of it.

Having successfully attracted the attention of the Fanged Evil Beast, Mo Xiaobai fought while retreating.

Although he did not find another chance to deal another slash, he successfully retreated to the southwest corner of the residential complex. Aside from a pond, this area was a green space, and behind it was a high wall of the residential complex, making it a very suitable place for Mo Xiaobai to duel the Evil Beast.

“Come on!”

“Come and bite me!”

With the first step of luring the monster achieved, Mo Xiaobai felt much more relaxed. After sheathing his dagger, he waved his long stick in his hand, acting as if “Wu Song had possessed him today.”

“Roar~”

How could the Fanged Evil Beast stand such provocation? Although there was a difference between human and beast, their eyes could explain everything.

After suddenly lunging forward a step, this time the Evil Beast did not pounce. Instead, it lowered its head and charged at him with its sharp horn.

“Perfect!”

Seeing the Evil Beast change its combat style, Mo Xiaobai was not the slightest bit panicked. He first stepped forward a half-step, swung his long stick at the Evil Beast’s forehead. Seeing that it still charged at him regardless, he immediately stepped sideways a small step, drew his dagger, and stabbed into the soft flesh behind the Evil Beast’s ear.

One successful hit, and he immediately backed away.

“Roar~”

Having been stabbed twice in a row, the Fanged Evil Beast grew even more furious. But it did not know that the human in front of him had fifteen years of specialized experience dealing with Evil Beasts, and he had also learned combat footwork combinations from Li Guang.

He did not need large-scale movement. He just needed to make some subtle body adjustments at the most critical moments.

Within a square foot beneath his feet would become an invincible land.

“Third stab!”

“Fourth stab!”

“Fifth swing!”

With every exchange, Mo Xiaobai became more and more confident.

Now he finally understood what mindset the opponent had when he first challenged Li Guang to a duel.

You come!

Come at me however you want!

I lose if you can hit me once!
