A few hours later, in Han Shui City.
Li Xian stood in front of the bridge, staring tensely at the monster on the other side of the river.
It was a creature not uncommon in the wasteland, called a "Blade Armor Beast." It resembled a giant lizard but without the cumbersome long tail, replaced by a degenerated, stubby tail vertebra.
Its hind legs were incredibly strong, pairing with its less-than-10-meter-long body, allowing it to burst out with astonishing speed in an instant.
Li Xian still remembered his first battle after joining the Church Protection Army was to hunt such a Blade Armor Beast near Jinling City.
At that time, he was still a newcomer.
But for some reason, he felt no fear towards the monster.
Perhaps it was the guidance of faith, or maybe a desire for power, for achieving accomplishments; in any case, during that battle, though he only had a shabby single-shot rifle, he still charged forward without hesitation.
