Chapter 117 - First Portal - Part 2

Yu Shun and Luo Lan looked at each other. They witnessed the phenomenon of the portal earlier and now the portal appeared in front of them.

The couple was still in the same house while the group of the Flame Castle camping in front of the house. Yu Shun walked to the window and peeked at the Flame Castle's group.

The Flame Castle also did the same, they were inspecting the portal. They did not dare to enter the portal rashly.

"We will wait for them," Yu Shun decided to wait for the Flame Castle's group to test the portal. His purpose was not to clear the game, he did not care about the Survival Game, at all. His purpose was to escape from the Flame Castle's pursuit.

Kang Jiayi with his son and his trusted aides also inspected the portal that appeared in front of the first sports hall. A big group of men with green military uniforms surrounded the portal.

No matter what they did, they could get nothing out of it but the countdown on top of the portal. The portal looked ominous to them, none of them even dared to get closer to the portal, they looked at the portal from a distance.

"What should we do, Father?" Kang Zian asked his father. People appointed his father to be their leader until the rescue came, so everything was decided by him.

Kang Jiayi also did not know what to do. The instruction told them to clear the portal, meaning they had to enter the portal to do the objective. However, people fear the unknown, it applied to the experienced Kang Jiayi as well.

He was concerned about his people's safety so it took them some time to figure out what to do. After half an hour of deliberation, Kang Jiayi ordered his son, "Go meet your sister! Asked that man more information about the portal!"

For his people's safety, he was willing to compromise to work together with the person he labeled as a traitor. He thought Tang Shaoyang should know more information about the portal.

Little did the old man know that Tang Shaoyang and his whole group had gone inside the portal. The only group that fearlessly marched to the unknown space.

"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang was amazed by the surrounding scenery. In the blink of an eye, the portal brought him into the middle of the forest, yes, he was in the middle of the forest now.

Kang Xue, Zhang Mengyao, and the others had the same reaction as him. They were surprised at the sudden change around them. The big trees with dense leaves surrounded them along with tall bushes covering the lower bottom of the trees.

"It's a one-way portal!" Zhang Mengyao informed as she saw no path to come back to HZ Bay. No portal around them which meant they could not come back unless they killed the boss.

Ding!

Main Objective: Kill The Shaman

Side Objective: Clear 9 Goblin Caves (0/9)

[Obtained Minimap! Only effective during the Survival Game!]

Two consecutive notifications rang in everyone's head. At the same time, a round projection of minimap appeared on the top right corner of their eyes. The minimap showed eight green dots and one bigger black dot.

"The green one seems to indicate an ally while the black is me…" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. Since the current world had changed into a game-like world, he had learned a lot about the game from the younger such as Lu An and Yan Sheng. So he was quick to understand when the minimap appeared.

Sushh! Sushh! Sushh!

While everyone's attention was on the objective screen and minimap, something moved in the bushes. Tang Shaoyang and the others immediately turned around, looking at the noise.

Kang Xue was holding her scythe very tightly as anxiousness started to get into her nerves. Facing zombies was a lot for her now she had to face the unknown creatures.

"Calm down, girl! If you get too anxious, it will only bring harm to you," Tang Shaoyang rubbed her back gently to soothe her. Feeling the warm hand on her back, she calmed down a little. Nevertheless, she was still alerted to what was ahead of her.

The moving bushes were getting louder and louder. Kang Xue then saw the bushes ten meters away from her was shaking violently.

Plop!

It was a rabbit, at least it has the body and the head of a rabbit with a long horn on its head. A thick white fur covered its head down to the body, pleasing to the eyes. However, Kang Xue did not feel the rabbit was cute, at all. Not even close to a cute being, it was weird.

The normal rabbit had short legs but this rabbit had long legs and had the same size as a big dog. Yes, it was a rabbit but walked just like a dog, a big one.

Not only her, Tang Shaoyang and the others had the same reaction. The nine humans and the rabbit stared at each other for a moment until the rabbit growled at them.

"Grrrhhhh!" The rabbit showed its ragged get shiny white teeth. Saliva flowed down from its mouth as its black eyes stopped at them. The rabbit regarded the human as its prey for sure.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang used his [Detection] skill on the rabbit.

[Beast - Horned Rabbidog]

Affiliation: Rabbidog Tribe

Evolution: Stage 2

Level: 33

Skill:???

"Rabbidog?" Tang Shaoyang blurted out subconsciously at the beast's species.

The moment that word came out of his mouth, Horned Rabbidog in front of them let out a loud and a long howling. It did not bark but howling like a wolf instead.

"What are you? A dog or a wolf?" Tang Shaoyang was speechless at the strange creature.

The bushes shook even more violently, indicating the howl was calling for its friend. Soon, white figures flashed out of the bushes, not just one but many of them.

"Get ready to engage!" Zhang Mengyao immediately yelled to her team to get ready while she took the lance out of her inventory as well. Li Na immediately summoned Moon and set her crossbow in her right arm, aiming at one of Rabbidogs.

Tang Shaoyang calmly took out the Destroyer from his inventory while using his left hand to count the number of Rabbidogs.

"21, let's share the weird rabbits evenly…" He muttered to everyone calmly. Kang Xue was not as fearless as the man, she slowly moved next to the man only to hear advice to kill the Rabbidog from him, "Remember, aim at the head or neck so you can insta kill them!"

Since its friends were here, the pack of Rabbidogs charged toward the group. Zhang Mengyao, Li Na, and the others immediately formed a formation with Zhang Mengyao in the front.

Around sixteen Rabbidogs split towards them while the remaining six Rabbidogs headed toward Tang Shaoyang and Kang Xue.

The Rabbidog's movement was faster than a normal dog. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Tang Shaoyang. He slammed the wide side of the Destroyer toward the two Rabbidogs' horns.

The horn was hard as the Destroyer failed to crush the horn. But the impact from his slam brought the two Rabbidogs down as it whimpered painfully.

He then glanced at Kang Xue. The girl was focusing on one Rabbidog. The moment the Rabbidog lunged at her, she swung the scythe in her hand horizontally.

Swoosh!

The sharp blade of the scythe tore the Rabbidog's snout, slashing through the head. She followed his instruction to aim at the head but she made a fatal mistake. The girl was focusing on one Rabbidog, and she failed to notice that another Rabbidog was rushing toward her from the other side.

Tang Shaoyang's hand moved to her waist. While holding her waist, he pulled the girl to the side. His quick move caused the remaining three Rabbidogs to pounce at the empty spot.

"You were doing good but you should never neglect your surroundings," Tang Shaoyang praised and criticized the girl at the same time.

"I thought you were going to take care of the remaining dogs!" Kang Xue replied with her hurried breath. Her hand was shaking while her eyes locked on the remaining Rabbidogs.

"You said it yourself that you wanted to learn to fight, I am going to use every chance for you to learn!" He reminded the girl sternly. The girl requested him to teach her to fight and the best way to learn was through experience from fighting the beasts, "I will not lend a hand unless it's necessary or life-threatening,"

"Yes!" Kang Xue replied in a loud voice as she tried to calm her breathing.

The remaining three Rabbidogs growled furiously at the couple. They were angry that their kinds were being slaughtered before their eyes.

Suddenly a red aura enveloped the three Rabbidogs. They directed their horns toward Tang Shaoyang and Kang Xue.

'They are going to use their skills!' Tang Shaoyang was alerted as he saw this. He put his body in front of Kang Xue.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

All of sudden, the three horns shot forward. It whistled through the air at bullet speed. Kang Xue flinched at the sight of the bullet horn. Fortunately, the horn was big and long, it was easy to track with naked eyes.

Tang Shaoyang swung his battle-ax, deflecting all three horns at once.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He easily negated the attack and glanced at the girl, "The dog has lost its horn, it's time for you to kill them. We are waiting for you!" He moved his lips toward Zhang Mengyao's direction.

Kang Xue followed the direction and found out Zhang Mengyao and her team had killed all sixteen Rabbidogs.
