1: Chapter 1: A Hellish Start! The School Beauty Screams, But I've Brought a Knife!

(My little cuties, this is the storage area for your smart brains!)

(It's almost the New Year, so I won't say much. Type 1 to get a campus belle in silk stockings for everyone—the comments section needs to be lively!! *Hiccup!*)

"Rumble—!!!"

Accompanied by a sound of metal twisting that was enough to tear the eardrums, Qin Yu felt the entire world spinning.

A second ago, he was still in the train restroom during his graduation trip, repeatedly watching a video on YouTube of the great master Roland single-handedly killing a North American muskox with a small knife, clicking his tongue in wonder.

The next second, the entire carriage was like a soda can crushed by an invisible giant hand, and in a blinding white light, it was dragged into a bottomless, pitch-black abyss!

A sense of weightlessness! A sense of suffocation!

Countless screams exploded in his ears, then quickly faded away.

"Bang!"

The back of Qin Yu's head slammed hard against a hard object, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

...

"Cough... cough cough!"

I don't know how long it had been, but Qin Yu was jolted awake by the salty sea breeze and seawater choking his throat.

He sat up abruptly, a violent headache making his vision go black in waves; his whole body felt like it had been run over repeatedly by a dozen heavy trucks, with pain seeping into his very bones.

"Ah—! Help!"

"Where is this? My leg! My leg is broken!"

"Mom... I want to go home..."

In his ears were the rising and falling cries and screams of girls, filled with despair and fear.

Qin Yu shook his heavy head and quickly scanned his surroundings.

This was a strange, primitive-smelling beach.

Not far away was the wreckage of the train, broken into several pieces and still emitting black smoke, with various pieces of luggage and... severed limbs scattered around.

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood and an eerie, pungent odor he had never smelled before.

"Transmigrated?"

Qin Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, but he did not panic like the others.

As a hardcore wilderness survival enthusiast, his psychological resilience far exceeded that of ordinary people.

His first reaction was not to care about the crying girls, but to quickly check himself!

Fortunately, the tactical backpack he carried everywhere was currently hanging tightly on his shoulders.

Qin Yu tore off the backpack and pulled open the zipper.

Most of the items inside had been destroyed in the violent impact, but the two most important things—a sharp m9 tactical folding knife and a magnesium fire starter in a waterproof box—were intact!

"Hoo..."

Qin Yu let out a long sigh of relief, flicked the m9 tactical folding knife open with a "click," and gripped it tightly in his hand.

The cold touch came from his palm, instantly calming his chaotic brain.

With a knife and fire, there was hope for survival!

Just then, an exceptionally shrill scream came from not far away.

"Ah! Don't come over! Don't come over!"

Qin Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Qingyao, the campus belle known as the ice queen, sitting pale on the beach, constantly moving her body backward. The hem of her beautiful white dress had been soaked by seawater and covered in sand, outlining a breathtaking curve.

In front of her, a giant scorpion the size of a washbasin, covered in a blue-black shell, was raising its venomous stinger high, flashing with a cold light. Its two huge pincers were clicking, issuing a threatening warning!

That thing was simply not a creature that should exist on Earth!

Prehistoric sea scorpion!

This term flashed through Qin Yu's mind instantly.

The surrounding girls were too scared to do anything but scream; no one dared to step forward.

Su Qingyao closed her eyes in despair, tears sliding down her long eyelashes.

She knew she was doomed.

However, at this critical moment, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice exploded in Qin Yu's mind!

【Ding! Detected that the host is in an extreme survival environment; binding conditions met!】

【wilderness lord system, binding successful!】

【host: Qin Yu】

【Novice Task: Kill any hostile creature to begin your path as a Wilderness Lord!】

System?

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, but immediately, a cruel arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

This was what he had been waiting for!

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, he launched himself from the spot like a cheetah, his right hand gripping the m9 tactical folding knife, and charged crazily toward the prehistoric sea scorpion!

"Qin Yu? Are you crazy!"

A girl recognized him and screamed.

Su Qingyao also opened her eyes, looking in shock at this boy who was usually taciturn and had no presence in class.

What did he want to do? Seek death?

However, Qin Yu's speed was faster than imaginable!

Just as the sea scorpion's tail hook was about to pierce into Su Qingyao's body, Qin Yu had already closed in!

He didn't care about the two intimidating large pincers; instead, relying on his rich survival knowledge, he suddenly lowered his body, and the m9 tactical folding knife in his hand, at an extremely tricky angle, stabbed fiercely from bottom to top into the connecting gap of the sea scorpion's abdominal shell!

"Splurt!"

A muffled sound of a sharp blade entering flesh!

"Squeak—!!!"

The prehistoric sea scorpion let out a sharp, ear-piercing hiss, its massive body twisting wildly, its tail hook flailing about, but it could not reach Qin Yu beneath it.

Qin Yu's eyes were cold, his arm muscles bulging, and he twisted his wrist violently!

"Crack!"

The blade shredded its central nervous system inside the sea scorpion's body!

The behemoth struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground, green fluid flowing everywhere.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first kill!】

【Killed Tier 1 Creature: Prehistoric Emperor Scorpion!】

【Reward: Strength +1, Constitution +0.5! Unlocked Primary Passive Skill: Skin Hardening!】

The moment the system prompt ended, Qin Yu felt a warm current surge from his heart to his limbs and bones!

His muscles, which had been sore from the impact, were instantly filled with explosive power! His skin all over his body felt a tingling itch, as if it had become tougher!

This feeling... was too good!

"Ah..."

Su Qingyao, having escaped death, collapsed on the ground, looking at the boy before her who had killed with one strike, her mind blank.

She came to her senses and subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Qin Yu's arms, seeking the protection of the only man who could give her a sense of security, and burst into tears.

However, just as she got close, a strong, powerful hand pressed directly onto her face, pushing her away roughly.

"Get lost!"

Qin Yu's cold voice rang out, without a trace of tenderness for the fairer sex.

"Do you want to attract all the beasts in the area? If you want to die, keep screaming!"

"..."

Su Qingyao was pushed to a stumble, sitting on the ground, completely stunned.

She covered her face, looking at Qin Yu in disbelief.

Was this still the Qin Yu who would blush when called upon by the teacher in class?

Why... why did his eyes look like a beast waiting to devour people? Fierce, cold, and carrying a trace of... greed that made her heart jump with fear?

Qin Yu didn't even look at her again, but coldly scanned the surroundings.

On the beach, it was all crying girls.

The tall, sexy, and usually gentle and charming beautiful counselor Lin Waner was also pale with fright, trying to comfort everyone and organize them to gather.

When she saw Qin Yu covered in green plasma, holding a dripping sharp knife, she was also stunned.

She opened her mouth, just about to say something.

"Roar—!!!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the depths of the rainforest not far away!

The sound was full of tyranny and hunger, making the temperature of the entire beach seem to drop by several degrees!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge dinosaur, over three meters tall, covered in dark scales, with sickle-like claws on its forelimbs, poking its ferocious head out from the dense jungle!

Those yellowish-brown vertical pupils were staring fixedly at this group of tender, shivering "two-legged sheep" on the beach!

Velociraptor!

No, it was several times larger than the Velociraptor in the movies!

All the girls' crying stopped abruptly, replaced by fear that went deep into their marrow!

It was over!

This time, it was really over!
