In just an instant, a Sticking Card in Eric Turner's mind transformed into four red cards. There was no time to hesitate—Eric Turner picked one right away.

Tender and succulent meat—damn it, what’s with this “tender and succulent meat”!

The Sticking Card had given Eric Turner quite a few good skills, but what the hell was this “tender and succulent meat”? How did he end up with something like that?

Was he supposed to use it and then get eaten by a ferocious beast?

Five hundred meters. Over a thousand Skyblade antelopes were only five hundred meters away. In just half a minute, they’d be right in front of him.

Choose, hurry up and choose!

Eric Turner quickly tapped on a Sticking Card. This time, it showed failure. With no time to complain, Eric Turner immediately tapped another Sticking Card.

Skill: Thousand-Mile Leap, Beginner!

He’d stuck a Thousand-Mile Leap from the Skyblade antelope. Even though it was just the beginner level, it was definitely related to speed!

With a single thought, the card labeled “Thousand-Mile Leap, Beginner” turned into a red light and merged into Eric Turner’s body.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous, but Eric Turner didn’t notice any changes in his body.

“Eric Turner, those Skyblade antelopes are almost here!” Standing beside Eric Turner, Old Lee reminded him anxiously.

At this moment, Old Lee was filled with gratitude. Don’t be fooled by how young Eric Turner was—at a critical moment, he was unbelievably loyal!

They’d been through life-and-death together, and he treated them with deep kindness. Yet this kid quietly moved them even more, making up an excuse to take a few beast crystals just to put their minds at ease.

Old Lee could guarantee that, in the entire survival base, there was no one more loyal than Eric Turner!

Now that he had the Thousand-Mile Leap, Eric Turner felt a surge of confidence. He glanced at Old Lee and the others, then said in a deep voice, “Brothers, you must live well!”

“For the survival base, for humanity—we all have to give it our all!”

The moment he shouted this slogan, Eric Turner charged fearlessly toward the Skyblade antelopes, now only two hundred meters away.

At first, as he started running, Eric Turner didn’t feel anything unusual. But after sprinting a few dozen meters, he sensed an instinctive urge in his body to leap.

Thousand-Mile Leap!

But Eric Turner suppressed the impulse, because if he jumped now, he’d basically be throwing himself into the herd of Skyblade antelopes.

“Kill!” Now feeling even more confident, Eric Turner suddenly stopped running and roared furiously at the oncoming Skyblade antelopes.

The Skyblade antelopes were ferocious beasts, but their intelligence was evolving too. They weren’t as smart as humans, but they could still recognize a provocation.

The moment it heard the challenge, the leader of the Skyblade antelopes—who possessed bloodline warrior-level strength—had its eyes turn red.

Its speed increased even more!

At that moment, Eric Turner quickly changed direction and charged madly toward a hillside.

Eric Turner’s roar not only provoked the bloodline-awakened Skyblade antelope leader, but also caught the attention of Henry Bennett and the others.

Although Henry Bennett and the others were reluctant to part with Eric Turner and his group, they understood that saving them was impossible.

Abandonment—this heartless decision—was made because they had no other choice.

“What is he doing?” William Foster exclaimed in shock.

Henry Bennett said excitedly, “He’s luring away the Skyblade antelopes! Good, good! That’s how a man from our survival base should be!”

Watching Eric Turner sprint away, Evan Clark felt a flood of sorrow and admiration surge in his heart: “A worthy death—magnificent!”

Nearby, Ethan Reed watched as Eric Turner drew the attention of over a thousand Skyblade antelopes, secretly thinking, This guy really knows how to steal the spotlight! Though he was full of disdain, he wisely kept silent. If he made any sarcastic remarks now, he’d probably be drowned in spit.

All he could do now was watch as Eric Turner was trampled to dust by countless Skyblade antelopes.

Little Scott, Old Lee, and the others were undoubtedly the most nervous. When it came to running, they were no match for the Skyblade antelopes.

If they tried to flee in panic, they’d only end up as meat paste under the antelopes’ hooves.

Eric Turner luring away the Skyblade antelopes was their only chance. The bloodline warrior-level antelope changing direction was, for them, a shift from certain death to a chance at life.

“We… we have a way out!” Old Lee whispered hoarsely!

“But Eric Turner…” Little Scott choked out painfully, watching as Eric Turner was now only ten meters from the stampeding Skyblade antelopes.

Old Lee slumped to the ground and said, “Eric Turner is a good man. Not only did he save our lives, but he was afraid we’d feel guilty if he died for us, so he insisted on taking a few beast crystals as if they were his reward!”

“Does he really think we’re so stupid we don’t know those beast crystals are worthless at a time like this?”

The conversation between Old Lee and Little Scott made the still-shaken crowd nod repeatedly, and some even began to sob.

“Eric Turner, my good brother!”

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…
