Seeing the charging giant beast, Lin Feng was stunned, standing frozen in place, his legs becoming rigid due to the overwhelming sense of oppression.
At this moment, the three-story-high, more than ten meters long giant beast had already rushed out of the Bay Rift Valley, treading into the wide river channel, and was stepping forward to charge.
With a weight of dozens of tons and four hoofs that were more than half a meter thick, each step on the riverbed could cause a slight tremor of the earth.
And the charging speed of this giant Rock-Horned Horse was as high as seventy to eighty kilometers per hour. Although advancing twenty meters per second might not be much for its fifteen-meter-long body, the terrifying impact brought by its massive size could easily crush everything.
The pair of eight-meter-long horns on the horse's head directly shattered the rocks on the riverbed, charging unimpeded straight towards the riverbank where Lin Feng stood.
Fortunately, the distance between the two was one kilometer apart.
This rampaging giant beast still had one minute before it could charge right up to him.
And that was enough time for Lin Feng to react.
Suppressing the rigidity in his body caused by fear, Lin Feng took a deep breath, lifted the machine cannon gun in his hand, aimed at the giant beast, and fired six shells in one breath, then prepared to run away.
Apart from attracting fire, he also wanted to verify the lethality of the weapon in his hand against the giant beast.
Unfortunately, when he turned back to look, the six shells with over one hundred damage points only sparked a flurry of light on the surface of the giant beast covered in rock armor.
After the warheads exploded, they only left some black powder marks on the beast's solid rock armor, without even a crack appearing.
The machine cannon gun couldn't break through the defense, with damage at zero.
A word flashed in Lin Feng's mind, hardened ceramic.
It is one of the primary materials used for modern bulletproof vest plates, capable of resisting rifle bullets, and ceramic of silicon carbide containing rare metals approaches diamond in hardness, enough to withstand small-caliber shell impacts.
The external armor of many tanks is also made of high-hardness carbide ceramic steel, which has an extremely strong defensive effect, but is quite expensive.
And the external rock armor of this giant beast was a hardened ceramic structure, capable of ignoring Level 14 machine gun rounds.
After confirming the situation, Lin Feng gave up struggling and counterattacking, directly fleeing towards the city ruins behind him.
Running for his life without looking back.
This giant beast, whether in size or defense, far exceeded a leader-level Rock-Horned Horse, and Lin Feng had a general idea of its strength.
The opponent was highly likely to have broken through the late Stage One, reaching the upper limit of Level 19, a clan leader-level Rock-Horned Horse!
A powerful existence capable of ruling a tribe!
And one of the rulers of this wilderness!
Having provoked such a creature, at this moment, the only thought in Lin Feng's mind was to escape!
At the same time, he also knew that since he had already angered the opponent, the help the rest of the team could provide was minimal; rather than dragging them into disaster, it was better to lure this giant beast away by himself.
Allowing Chen Shanshan and others to successfully harvest the severely injured prey lying in the river channel and secure the rewards.
Avoiding ending up with nothing.
And Lin Feng himself also had some confidence, relying on the agile advantage of the smaller human physique, to maneuver with this clan leader-level giant beast in the city ruins.
Its top speed was only eighty kilometers per hour.
Lin Feng's burst speed could easily exceed one hundred and forty kilometers per hour.
As long as he quickly widened the distance in a short time, there would be no significant risk.
Conversely, Chen Shanshan and her team, except for Ah Ming, neither the team members nor the Rock Horse Battle Car could escape the pursuit of this Rock Armor Giant Beast.
Now, as long as the clan leader-level Rock-Horned Horse was led away, and then shaken off, the final hunting action could be smoothly completed.
Lin Feng's figure darted through the city ruins, leaping to the top of the broken walls, looking back at the position of the Rock Armor Giant Beast.
The latter effortlessly crossed the one-hundred-meter riverbank slope and directly jumped onto the riverbank, now less than a kilometer behind Lin Feng.
The latter lifted the gun muzzle, aiming at the target once more.
Another series of shells were precisely aimed at the giant beast's head, but despite hitting the enormous horse head directly, the damage was minimal.
The face of the clan leader-level Rock-Horned Giant Beast was already covered with a thick layer of hardened ceramic rock, and the armor-piercing deficient shells could only leave patches of black marks.
At best, shattering the bowl-sized additional layer of hardened eyelid skin above its double eyes.
But even this thin layer of hardened ceramic skin had more than a dozen layers.
The explosion's shockwave, however, made this flawless Rock Armor Giant Beast experience some eye pain.
But it immediately locked onto Lin Feng's figure not far away.
In fact, when it heard the explosion and the tragic cries of its tribe members, rushing up the riverbank, it had lost sight of its target.
The Rock-Horned Horse inherently had poor vision, and coupled with Lin Feng's team all wearing desert camouflage combat suits, they blended directly into the wilderness from hundreds of meters away.
And when this Rock Armor Giant Beast lost its target and glanced around, it actually locked onto the Rock Horse Battle Car parked by the riverbank.
Fortunately, Lin Feng discovered this in time.
Using the machine cannon gun in hand, he reacquired the giant beast's attention, drawing it towards him.
Not far away, the remaining six team members hiding in the ruins after leaving the battle car were too tense to breathe.
Peeking out half their heads, observing the position of the Rock Armor Giant Beast.
Not until seeing it once again attracted away by Lin Feng did Chen Shanshan and the others regroup, beginning to discuss.
"We need to save Lin Feng now! That giant beast is too powerful, and Lin Feng alone probably can't handle it!"
Ding Yi was the first to speak, staring into the distance, the reflection in the glasses showing the ghostly image of the beast chase.
The others, snapping back to reality, exchanged looks.
Ah Ming slowly spoke, reminding,
"Going there won't help either. That giant beast, whether in size or the strong oppressive aura it emits, far exceeds a leader-level male Rock-Horned Horse..."
"It must be the ruler of these tens of thousands of Rock-Horned Horses, the legendary Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse."
On the side, Liu Qian, who had been carried away by Liu Mingfei, gradually regained consciousness and weakly added:
"The Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse is an Evolver of the Second Stage; even a Late Tier One Evolver would have to retreat when encountering it."
"They not only command all the Rock-Horned Horses but are also the rulers of this wilderness."
"It's said that the patriarch of the Li Family in Nongzhuang Village once killed a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse to steal the evolution path of the Rock-Horned Horse tribe, thereby establishing Nongzhuang Village, which lives by raising Rock-Horned Horses."
"If even Lin Feng can't handle it, how can we possibly escape its pursuit with just a few of us?"
The remaining Ah Lian and Liu Mingfei did not speak. Although they knew Liu Qian and Ah Ming were stating the facts, they were actually willing to help Lin Feng share some of the pressure.
After all, even a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse is just larger in size, not particularly fast, especially within the urban ruins, where humans have an advantage.
At this moment, the team's opinions were divided, and everyone looked towards Chen Shanshan, who stood at the very center.
She was the deputy team leader and also appointed by Lin Feng as the commander for this operation.
Her decision now was crucial in determining the team's course.
Chen Shanshan tightly gripped the Titanium Gun in her hand. In front of her was the prey howling in pain, and behind her, the team leader Lin Feng was relentlessly pursued by the Rock Armor Giant Beast.
She struggled for a few seconds, face contorted.
Chen Shanshan contemplated what decision Lin Feng would make if he were here now.
Finally, with a resolute look, she glanced at Ding Yi, who was anxiously at her side, and made up her mind to speak:
"Let's first head to the river to kill the injured Rock-Horned Horse, capture the prey first, and then arrange manpower to assist Lin Feng in escaping the giant beast's pursuit."
As she spoke, Chen Shanshan looked at Ding Yi, her tone urgent yet calm as she analyzed:
"This is Lin Feng's action plan, and we must first complete this task."
"Previously, the Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse had lost track of Lin Feng, but he fired shots to attract its pursuit, indicating Lin Feng has confidence he won't be caught by the giant beast."
"Therefore, we should follow his orders and continue executing the original plan!"
"We cannot let Lin Feng's sacrifice and efforts ultimately go to waste!"
"Now, except for Ding Yi and Liu Qian who stay here to watch out for more giant beasts, everyone else follows me to quickly bring back the kill from the river—a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse!"
After finishing, Chen Shanshan took the lead, returning to the battle car to retrieve a lasso, preparing to head to the river.
Liu Mingfei immediately got into the driver's seat of the battle car, started the vehicle, and led the group towards Lin Feng's original ambush site one kilometer away.
Upon arrival at the destination, everyone got off the vehicle successively, and they could see on the riverbank a straight slope carved out by the giant beast, a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse.
The enormous size and crushing power were enough to forcibly change the terrain structure.
It could be described as a wilderness trailblazer, a barrier crusher!
From the ruins of the city behind, there were also continuous sounds of buildings collapsing and shattering.
Evidently, the Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse was recklessly rampaging, wantonly destroying the already dilapidated ruins.
"Hurry up, let's go!"
Chen Shanshan slung the rope over her shoulder, draped it across her waist, and tightly held the Titanium Gun in her hand, charging straight down the small broken path created by the giant beast toward the target at the river bottom.
More than five Tier One Rock-Horned Horses.
Behind her, Liu Mingfei got out of the vehicle, letting the not-yet-fully-recovered Liu Qian take the driver's seat.
"If things change later, start the vehicle ahead of time, and then pick us up. This will be the fastest!"
He gave a quick instruction, then caught up to Ah Lian and Ah Ming, quickly running toward the river below the slope.
At this moment, dozens of Rock-Horned Horses lay on the ground, severely injured, some with broken legs, others with open abdomens, unable to rise and flee.
A few of the lightly injured ones were struggling to escape, among them were two early-stage Tier One male Rock-Horned Horses.
But Chen Shanshan quickly locked onto two mid-stage male leaders, barely alive.
They were the largest within the Rock-Horned Horse herd.
They were also Lin Feng's primary targets, repeatedly hit by cannon fire, directly ripping open their bellies.
Chen Shanshan ran up directly, raising her gun and ending their suffering by shooting into their eye sockets and brains.
Then she dug out all the internal organs except for the heart to reduce the weight of the horse carcasses, using a rope to loop around the horse horns, making it easier to transport two male horses simultaneously.
Evolved to Level 13, Chen Shanshan was capable of exerting over three tons of force, barely managing to move the two mid-stage male horses with water storage organs and fresh blood removed.
On the other side, Ah Lian and Ah Ming began to handle the remaining female horses.
Liu Mingfei, who arrived later, intended to help but was called over by Ah Ming to capture the early-stage Tier One male Rock-Horned Horse that was about to escape.
The two early-stage male horses with leg injuries stumbled toward the distance, attempting to flee.
Liu Mingfei nodded, took the rope, and headed over.
An early-stage living male horse is much more valuable than a female horse, even if dead, the horse carcass would have more muscle.
While the team was busy finishing and retrieving, on the other side, Liu Qian kept an eye on the situation around the river and noticed that since the Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse's pursuit, there had been no more Rock-Horned Horse herds entering the river from the Rift Valley.
It was somewhat a blessing in disguise for the current situation.
At the back of the battle car, Ding Yi kept his gaze fixed on the direction of the sand and dust rising within the urban ruins.
At this moment, the Rock Armor Giant Beast had already moved deep into the ruins, in the city center of its past.
More than ten kilometers away from the Rock Horse Battle Car by the bay, Ding Yi had to rely on the dust clouds to gauge the beast's approximate location.
As long as its steps never ceased.
It meant the pursuit of Lin Feng was still ongoing.
