Waldo’s thoughts are in sync with his soldiers.

A single thought allows him to issue orders to them.

The strong warriors and barbarian fighters, already lying in ambush in various places, charged out in small team formations of "three strong warriors paired with one barbarian fighter" from inside the castle and the woods!

From all directions!

They formed an encirclement!

The barbarian fighters were unstoppable and unobstructed.

The strong warriors, also battle-hardened, were accustomed to licking blood off their blades and were equally brave.

Groups of four!

At least thirty groups surged out from various locations.

Like sharp swords, they were unstoppable!

For a time, the wolves were slaughtered, blood flowing like rivers, in a dire state.

The panicked wolf pack was massively slaughtered!

Soon, they were routed and dispersed.

The leading alpha wolf, sensing danger in its bloody but somewhat intelligent eyes, showed a hint of fear.

Then, it turned and fled.

"Don’t let the alpha wolf escape!"

Under Waldo’s command, several combat teams pounced on the alpha wolf.

In an instant, the alpha wolf’s fur bristled, sensing a great threat.

But no matter how it tried to break through, it was blocked by the fierce and fearless warriors.

And, the space for it to move became smaller and smaller.

Until at the last moment, it realized that it had been surrounded by dozens of burly, strong barbarian warriors.

Completely encircled, like an iron wall!

Roar!

The alpha wolf’s eyes flashed with ferocity.

Swoosh!

A nimble figure suddenly appeared.

A huge hammer, flashing with thunder, struck down!

Boom!

The alpha wolf’s head was smashed by the hammer, dying instantly.

[Killing the alpha wolf, earned one hundred points. Tenfold reward triggered, earning one thousand points!]

...

This battle.

Waldo’s soldiers killed a total of one hundred and three wolves!

Additionally, Waldo personally killed an alpha wolf.

In total, they earned eleven thousand three hundred points.

Adding to his previously remaining points, Waldo now has a total of 19,300 points!

At this stage, without a doubt, this is an astronomical figure!

...

However, Waldo is not quite satisfied.

After clearing the battlefield, Waldo immediately ordered to advance towards the jungle, seeking more wolf packs and zombies.

Waldo is a hunter.

The wolf packs and zombies are his prey. Under Waldo’s command, there are a hundred combat teams.

Out of these, apart from twenty teams left to defend the castle, the remaining eighty or more teams entered the jungle.

Divided into two groups.

One group struck into the jungle!

Another explored towards the valley!

...

After a night, Waldo returned fully loaded.

He led his warriors to wipe out a wolf den and killed a group of zombies.

In total, they earned ten thousand points.

Over the course of one night.

Waldo’s points soared to thirty thousand.

This is a terrifying number.

For the average trial participant, it’s thousands of times more.

If someone found out, they would probably be scared to death.

...

After a night of intense fighting, Waldo was also extremely tired.

After all, he is just a mortal with physical needs like eating, drinking, using the restroom, and sleeping.

He counted his earnings.

After returning to the castle, Waldo immediately fell asleep, sleeping soundly.

As for upgrading the castle or summoning more soldiers, that would have to wait until he woke up. There was no hurry at the moment!

He slept deeply, feeling good and truly exhausted.

"How did you all fare with your earnings yesterday? Damn it, I nearly lost my life!"

"How so?"

"The danger I faced last night was much greater than before! More than thirty wolves and over twenty zombies appeared outside my base. I only had ten ordinary soldiers summoned during the day! Facing so many zombies and wolves, I barely managed to hold on."

"I only survived by luck after losing five soldiers!"

In the chat channel, a trial participant spoke with a lingering sense of fear. Then, they added, "But one thing I can now be sure of is that we are safe during the day. Those zombies and wolf packs only appear at night. Generally, as soon as day breaks, they retreat!"

...

"Last night was too dangerous!"

"Yeah, it was like they went crazy! There were so many, and the danger was so high!"

"Does it mean that each day is more dangerous than the last?"

"Not sure, not necessarily, I guess. I heard that some trial participants didn’t encounter any danger last night. It seems to be a matter of luck!"

"Right, it’s all about luck!"

"What do we do in the future? Sigh, it’s too hard. With what we have, what can we possibly do?"

"Yeah, it’s too difficult. It’s just not possible to rise up!"

Countless trial participants felt extremely helpless.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

...

Meanwhile,

About fifty miles away from Waldo’s castle,

In the dense forest of a mountain range,

A group of people with panicked faces were rapidly crossing a gorge, wandering aimlessly through the dense woods.

And their direction of travel, if nothing unexpected happened, would inevitably lead them past Waldo’s castle soon.

"Master, we have fled into the Devil’s Forest. Do you think the Ye family will still pursue us here?"

"They definitely will. My Xiao family and the Ye family have always had a deep-seated grudge, a feud that has lasted a thousand years. Recently, the Ye family has been making frequent moves, obviously plotting against my Xiao family! Now that my identity has been exposed while I was out, they will definitely not miss such a godsend opportunity!"

Among this fleeing group, the leader was a man in his thirties, handsome, dressed in an ancient robe.

From his tone, his mood was not good.

Even, one could say, very bad.

Indeed.

Xiao Chen was in a terrible mood.

He never dreamed that he, simply out for hunting and accidentally getting lost in the forest, would blunder into the territory controlled by the Ye family.

And to make matters worse, he was discovered by the people of the Ye family.

This led to his tragic situation.

He only had a few dozen men under his command.

How could they possibly stand against the three thousand-strong army dispatched by the Ye family?

Although the three thousand troops sent by the Ye family were hastily gathered from nearby cities and a mix of good and bad, the numerical advantage was on their side.

No matter what, they were not a force his men could contend with.

Therefore, the only option left for them was to flee for their lives.

After several days of fleeing,

They finally entered the Devil’s Forest.

It was uncertain if they could shake off their pursuers.

"Such bad luck!"

Xiao Chen was nearly bursting with anger.

"When I inherit the Xiao family and take the position of the family head, it will be the downfall of the Ye family!"

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth in anger.

"Hm? The area we entered through the gorge, is it a small basin?"

"The environment here is nice!"

"If it weren’t for the pursuers behind us, it would be quite nice to stay here for a while!"

Among the fleeing natives, some still found the leisure to appreciate the scenery.

However, what they all failed to notice,

Were two hidden pairs of eyes, witnessing everything.

Then, these two figures swiftly departed, silently.

The strong warriors are a very versatile type of soldier.

Although they are not professional scouts,

They can also perform such tasks very well.
