Summer mornings always come faster.
When Zhang Xiaoman stepped out of the original space, the sky outside was already bright.
Looking at the surrounding environment, it was still the same as before, except that the ground inside the stone formation seemed a little flatter and shorter.
"Huh? Where are the people?" Zhang Xiaoman looked around, but did not find Yang Yangyang and others.
After searching around the stone formation again, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but hesitate a little as he still couldn't see any trace of a few people.
"Have these guys left already? Is it possible that I spent a whole night inside, but a long time has passed outside?"
He felt that what he was seeing now might be the morning after a few days or even months.
"Forget it, if they have already left, then I will just rub the hearth stone and go back. Anyway, I originally planned to do this. If I am asked to work on a boat at sea for more than ten days, it will really be unbearable. Already..."
Zhang Xiaoman murmured to himself, but walked towards the ruins outside the stone formation. He planned to walk around here first to familiarize himself with the environment. After all, according to his previous plan, he wanted to use this island as his base for development, so he naturally wanted to know more about it.
After walking a short distance towards the girl-shaped mountain peak, Zhang Xiaoman came to a damaged wall and stopped.
When I came to this ruins before, it was still at night. At that time, we could only rely on flashlights for lighting, and many places could not be seen clearly. Now that he was free, Zhang Xiaoman naturally wanted to take a closer look at the situation here.
Looking at the seven-pointed star pattern carved on the wall, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I didn't expect that these things I casually said before would actually become a reality in the end... Even many details have been improved by the system itself. Just like these ruins, I don't know that they were generated because of the system. , or did it originally exist, but was just exploited by the system?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, feeling that he could not reach any conclusion on these causal issues.
As he looked around, something dark green suddenly came into view.
"Is this a tent?"
Zhang Xiaoman walked over in a few steps and looked at the damaged tent on the ground, feeling puzzled.
"Isn't this tent the one we used when we were camping before? How could it be in such a broken state?"
He knelt down and flipped the fabric on the tent a few times. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a huge scratch.
"These are claw marks!"
Zhang Xiaoman stretched out the cloth, and what was revealed in front of him was a huge claw mark, which looked at least 15 centimeters wide and was very scary.
"What danger did Yang Yangyang and the others encounter? No, there are no wild beasts on this island...could it be...monsters!?"
Thinking of this, he was suddenly startled.
At the same time, a scream also sounded not far away.
"Help!!!"
Zhang Xiaoman immediately turned his head and looked deep into the ruins. It was Yang Yangyang's voice.
He stood up suddenly and ran towards the direction of the sound without hesitation.
Activate Star Guard!
While running, Zhang Xiaoman used this skill that had been modified again by the system.
Next to him, a burst of black light suddenly appeared, and then condensed into shape in the air. In just a blink of an eye, two tall figures appeared on the spot.
These two people are the Star Guards, the Huangsha soldiers before Zhang Xiaoman.
The color of their equipment now has changed from yellow to blue-purple. The cloak on the back has also changed from the original Shurima pattern to the current seven-pointed star, which is the symbol of the Covenant. They were strong and nearly two meters tall. Their faces were completely covered by their helmets, with only a pair of eyes shining with purple light exposed.
The two Star Guards understood their master's intention as soon as they appeared, and started running beside Zhang Xiaoman, one on the left and the other on the right. Their target was the place where Yang Yangyang screamed.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the two guys with new skins, and then looked forward. He was busy rescuing people, but had no time to appreciate their new looks.
"accelerate!"
Zhang Xiaoman gave an order in his heart, and the two guards quickened their pace and rushed forward.
"Brother Man, help me!!!"
Yang Yangyang's screams came again. Zhang Xiaoman heard the sound and ran away, only to see a figure not far in front of him, on top of a tall stone pillar, hugging the pillar tightly. Below him, there seemed to be someone Something was jumping hard, trying to catch the person above.
Zhang Xiaoman ran forward for a short distance and immediately saw clearly the appearance of the monster below.
It was a humanoid monster covered in black hair, at least 50 centimeters taller than the Star Guard, and looked like a werewolf in a horror story. The only difference compared to a werewolf is that its head is smaller, its mouth is much shorter, its tail is slender and resembles a tiger's tail, and its overall body shape is more of a beast than a human.
The werewolf-like monster jumped several times and saw that Yang Yangyang could not be caught. At this time, it also reacted. It buried its head and hit the stone pillar hard. In just one move, the damaged pillar was destroyed. Almost broke.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Yang Yangyang suddenly let out a series of screams. He closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to look at the situation below.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoman knew that time was running out, and immediately ordered his two guards to rush forward in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on the monster.
The monster's reaction was also very sensitive. When the star guard approached and wanted to sneak attack, it suddenly noticed it, suddenly turned around and looked behind it, turned around and jumped away.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but frown. This monster seemed to be very difficult to deal with.
The Star Guards' surprise attack was fruitless, and they immediately launched another pursuit. In this kind of real battle, they actually didn't need Zhang Xiaoman to provide detailed command. Because they themselves have a strong sense of combat, if Zhang Xiaoman forces the command, it will only be counterproductive.
Soon, the battle between the Star Guards and the monsters entered a fierce stage. Both sides were fighting to the death, and they went all out as soon as they took action.
"Ouch!!!"
The monster let out a scream, and was stabbed in the stomach by a satellite guard. The tip of the gun reached more than half of its base, and the pain made its eyes turn red.
"Clang!"
The monster slapped the star guard who attacked him with a backhand. The star guard flew backwards for several meters in an instant. On the armor on his chest, a terrifying wound was clearly visible.
If it were a wound like this, an ordinary person would definitely be unable to stand up at this moment, and he would probably die from the pain soon.
However, it was the Star Guard summoned by Zhang Xiaoman that was hit by the monster. Strictly speaking, it was just a humanoid energy body composed of dark energy. Now after being knocked away by this blow, it immediately got up again as if nothing happened. .
Zhang Xiaoman watched this scene from a distance and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Although it was a very serious battle scene, he somehow suddenly felt like a "werewolf fighting zombies".
This monster's physical fitness is obviously stronger than that of Star Guard, but while it is not as good as the opponent in terms of numbers, it is also suppressed by Star Guard's thick-skinned and durable attributes. After going back and forth for a few rounds, it soon begins to lose its physical strength. .
"Roar!!"
The monster roared angrily. Its body was now covered in crimson blood, and its figure was a little shaky.
It waved away the two star guards, and suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaoman, who was watching the battle from a distance, and confirmed with its eyes that this person was the weakest.
At that moment, the monster howled wildly again, and before the two star guards could gather around it again, it pushed its front paws to the ground and ran straight towards Zhang Xiaoman.
