Meanwhile.

As Zhao Futu leaped towards the Desert Eagle on the ground, the first grayish-white giant wolf could no longer hold back and pounced towards the only female in the group. However, at that moment, a small fireball the size of a ping-pong ball hit its abdomen, exploding with a loud bang. The power of the fireball was almost equivalent to a grenade, completely overshadowing the muffled sound of Zhao Futu's gunshot!

The explosion of the fireball directly turned the giant wolf's abdomen into a mess of flesh, and its internal organs and intestines spilled out. By the time the grayish-white giant wolf landed on the ground, it had already become a lifeless corpse.

The white-collar woman had a bottle of alchemical potion that could restore energy. Realizing that the giant wolf's target was her, the bespectacled man, who worked in insurance, immediately decided to rescue her. However, while this fireball spell eliminated the giant wolf, it also exposed his own threat to the wolf pack. Almost immediately after casting the fireball, two mutated wolves pounced at him.

"Damn!" The bespectacled man needed time to cast his spells. Facing the charging giant wolves, he could only curse and awkwardly perform a roll, barely managing to avoid their attack.

— "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive gunshots rang out, and the two giant wolves pouncing at the bespectacled man instantly trembled, emitting a mournful cry.

At a distance of less than ten meters, as an adult who had undergone military training, Zhao Futu's three shots all hit the two giant wolves. The first shot hit the forehead of the left giant wolf, triggering a critical hit and a fatal effect, but the wolf successfully resisted, suffering only a bleeding wound. Due to the gunshot to the forehead, the giant wolf, enhanced by the werewolf virus, fell into a brief daze. Before it could recover, Zhao Futu's next shot ended its life.

Before firing, Zhao Futu had considered the pros and cons. Among the people sent here, only the bespectacled man and the migrant worker were worth collaborating with. The migrant worker had physical strength as his specialty, and since this world had game-like rules, he wouldn't die so easily. On the contrary, the bespectacled man, who could cast fireballs like a mage, was the most dangerous because he had the lowest physical strength among the group.

So, when he raised his gun, he decided to rescue the bespectacled man first.

The head wolf's attack had directly deducted one-third of Zhao Futu's health, and his wrist was severely injured, becoming a bloody mess, even revealing a glimpse of white bone. This forced him to switch to a two-handed grip. Fortunately, since this was a trial scenario, the pain was reduced by 70%, otherwise, the pain from the central nervous system would have made it impossible for Zhao Futu to hold the gun.

Two critical hits from the gun killed one giant wolf, and the third shot, despite the pain in his wrist, hit the other giant wolf's lower back, successfully interrupting its attack.

Boom!

The bespectacled man seized this opportunity and cast another fireball, which exploded directly on the head of the injured giant wolf. The wolf, already wounded by Zhao Futu's shot, died instantly!

In less than a minute.

The mutated grassland wolves surrounding the group were reduced to six, three of which were injured. Zhao Futu's group was now down to five. Apart from the high school student who died at the beginning, the second to die was the man with no skills. Because he had no skills, everyone subconsciously ignored him when he was attacked by the mutated giant wolves.

This led to him being torn apart by two giant wolves!

Ordinary.

The man with no special skills, who was subconsciously categorized as ordinary by everyone, was abandoned by everyone in this life-or-death situation. Whether it was the others or Zhao Futu, when attacked, they did not think of seeking cooperation with him, and when they had the chance to help others, he was never their first choice.

Zhao Futu chose to rescue the bespectacled man, while the pyramid scheme man chose to rescue the migrant worker.

The pyramid scheme man's long sword was exceptionally sharp, capable of easily slicing a mutated giant wolf in half. When attacked by a giant wolf, he even managed to decapitate one with a single slash!

5 vs 6.

The battle did not last long, and no one had any real combat skills.

It was a straightforward exchange of injuries!

However, after the head wolf was killed by Zhao Futu's gun, the mutated grassland wolves' momentum was significantly reduced. Their eyes even showed signs of fear and hesitation, and they kept a slight distance from Zhao Futu's group.

"Opportunity!"

Seeing the mutated wolves retreat, Zhao Futu's spirits lifted, and he fired several shots at them. Two more mournful cries echoed, and two previously injured mutated wolves fell to the ground. The bespectacled man also seized this opportunity and cast another fireball, but by then, the wolves had already turned and fled, and the fireball lost its accuracy after flying twenty meters, missing the fleeing wolves.

"Safe?"

Zhao Futu's entire body relaxed, and he fell to the ground. At this moment, he realized his right hand was a bloody mess, and the blood had already soaked half of his body. If not for the 70% pain reduction, he would have collapsed on the ground long ago.

However, due to excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and he felt dizzy and disoriented. His health had dropped to less than one-third, and he had a bleeding status, deducting five health points per minute. His personal status page also showed a "severe blood loss" status. At this rate, he would die from blood loss soon.

"Here." A deep voice spoke, and a roll of bandage was handed to Zhao Futu.

The speaker was the migrant worker, who looked somewhat simple. He was also injured, but not as severely as Zhao Futu, and the bleeding had stopped. His wounds were healing at an astonishing rate, with the flesh regenerating visibly. In just a minute or two, the wounds had scabbed over, and he was almost fine.

Zhao Futu took the bandage without saying much and applied it to the wound. Soon, a warm sensation spread through his wrist, and his health began to recover. The bleeding and severe blood loss statuses disappeared, and his spirits gradually returned, with color returning to his face. However, the bandage could not fully restore his health.

So, Zhao Futu sat cross-legged and began to meditate, trying to see if the skills on his personal status page were useful!

...

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Futu found it easier to enter a meditative state than ever before. It seemed that the mysterious power of the space had locked his mind and will at a high level. In just one breath, he felt the initial sensation of qi, and then he began to focus on his dantian, performing the circulation of qi. The breathing and focus were on the middle dantian, commonly known as the area below the navel. The position for sitting meditation was the zuqiao, also known as the upper dantian. The former accelerated the recovery of health, while the latter increased the recovery of energy.

As Zhao Futu sat in meditation, the others were observing him.

Among these people, apart from the two lying on the ground without a sound, Zhao Futu's injuries were the most severe, with blood staining half of his body, looking particularly gruesome. In fact, if Zhao Futu had not managed to kill the head wolf, everyone would probably have died, as most of them had no combat experience and no ability to avoid the wolves' attacks. The only method they could use was to exchange injuries.

After the battle, apart from the white-collar woman, who was protected and thus uninjured, the others had various wounds.

"Look!" The white-collar woman pointed to Zhao Futu's wrist, which was a bloody mess from the head wolf's bite, and said in surprise.

After activating the "breathing and circulation" skill at level 3, Zhao Futu's health recovery speed increased by 300%, meaning it was four times faster than usual. In just a minute or two, the wound on his wrist began to regenerate, and the areas that were a bloody mess gradually recovered, with the exposed white bone being covered by new flesh. This recovery speed was more noticeable than that of the others.

The others looked at this with thoughtful expressions.

"Phew!" Zhao Futu exhaled a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and moved his wrist, feeling no major issues. He then casually removed the bandage.

The bandage had turned into ordinary cloth, and the faint light that had been on it had completely disappeared.

Zhao Futu stood up and moved around, then opened the battle information page to check the details. Due to the urgency of the battle, he hadn't had time to look at it properly. In this battle, he had killed four mutated giant wolves, including one head wolf and three regular giant wolves. His personal status page now showed an additional 150 survival points.

The head wolf gave him 100 survival points, while the other three gave him 20 (solo kill) or 15 points (cooperative kill, final blow).

Although he didn't know what these survival points were for, Zhao Futu felt they were important.

Additionally.

After killing the head wolf, Zhao Futu's personal space contained a gray, diamond-shaped crystal, about the size of a fingernail. When Zhao Futu focused on it, a line of information appeared:

"Soul Fragment (Large)." (Status: Broken)

"Origin: Any world."

"Rarity: White."

"Material: Concentrated soul energy."

"Weight: 15 grams."

"Form: Physical, diamond-shaped, crystal."

"Usage Effect: You can cut a large soul fragment into three small soul fragments, or combine three large soul fragments into an F-grade soul crystal. Note: When you choose this function, you need to consume 100 survival points. You can sell this item to the space for 500 survival points."

"Special Effect: Absorb it! (Insufficient ability)"

"Evaluation: It is electricity, it is light, it is the energy of the world, the core of the universe, the meaning of life. With it, you own the entire world!"

...

Zhao Futu's gaze shifted, and he suddenly noticed a blue light under the head wolf's corpse. Curious, he slowly walked over.
