Book 6 Chapter 16.3 - Battle Invitation
His chest rapidly rose and fell, his panting audible from far away. His ck clothes that were made of rare materials were torn in many areas, revealing many w marks. Extreme excitement burned within his eyes, staring firmly at the ck shadows that continuously moved around behind trees, in the grass, and even in the treetops; there were at least twenty Herk.
At the limits of one’s sight, many Herk corpses could be seen. Their postures were all different, their bodies almostpletely dismembered, and only then did they die. To kill them, the young man paid quite the heavy price as well. However, he didn’t have any intentions of running or carrying out gueri warfare, still burning with battle intent, nning to bury these twenty or so Herk here as well. For him, every single Herk was aplete evolutionary point, this type of crazy evolution chance definitely hard toe by. However, the lightning swift battles that had just happened just now also made him understand that this definitely wouldn’t be an easy task. The wolf-like Herk could overwhelm mature male lions with their power, their speeds several times thetter. What made them even more frightening was their intelligence, knowing how to coordinate with each other, as well as their fearlessness towards death. Even now, after killing more than ten Herk, the young man still didn’t find a fatal weakness to exploit. If he didn’tpletely dismember them, they would still possess fighting strength.
The young man suddenly leaned over, his entire body almost leaning over the ground, and then several Herk already passed over above him. A short de flipped in his hand, stabbing outwards towards a Herk’s abdomen at a strange angle! The hand that was holding the de was extremely steady, the de remaining still like a stone pir. When the Herk with its tremendous momentum moved past the de, its entire abdomen was hacked open.
Another three or four Herk attacked from the ground. All of the Herkunched attacks at the same time, and they covered high, mid, low, all three positions, every degree of height split into two waves. If the young man acted carelessly just because he thought he evaded a wave of attacks, then he would definitely be injured under the second wave of attacks. This was a tight,-like assault, only, the young man had already experienced it several times. The short de in his left hand moved out horizontally, blocking before his head. A Herk whoserge mouth was almost sticking to the ground couldn’t stop its momentum, almost bringing his own head to the short de’s cutting edge. The short de reached entirely into the Herk’s mouth, and then moved with a fierce twist, only then was it pulled back out. The Herk’s mouth waspletely mutted, but it still used its two front ws to viciously scratch over, the damage inflicted by the full powered strikes of those sharp ws reaching more than ten centimeters in length would be about the same as being cut by the short de.
The young man’s body suddenly bounced up, knocking the second wave Herk above him flying, thus naturally avoiding the attacks of the Herk below. Even though the angle of contact was carefully calcted and chosen, the young man seemingly avoiding damage to any vital area, his body still couldn’t help but have a few extra scratches added. Borrowing the opposite force of colliding into the Herk, his body strangely sank down, and then the two des crossed, almost removing the seriously injured Herk’s entire head. However, when the des crossed on its neckbone, metallic grinding sounds rang out, unexpectedly unable topletely sever the neck bone, though, in the end, this type of injury still proved sufficiently fatal for the Herk.
The youngster’s des spun above again, finally fully removing the wolf head. Then, as if there was a spring installed in his body, he strangely stood up again. As if he was sliding on ice, he withdrew ten meters, withdrawing from the battlefield.
“So goddamn hard to deal with.” When he saw that the Herk who had already lost its head was still attacking all around it with its ws, the young man couldn’t help but curse out loud.
He originally wanted to follow Su’s army and wait for an opportunity to strike. The death of hispanion didn’t make his reckless self feel much fear, instead making him feel an urge to properly torment those at Su’s side, the youngdy who roused the interest of hispanion as well, she in particr definitely couldn’t be let go. The rainforest was his world, and as such, he was able to quickly track down Su’s troops’ whereabouts. However, when he got closer, he unexpectedly suffered the attacks of a few Herk wandering around. He excitedly killed two of them, never expecting that this would attract even more.
However, no matter how difficult the Herk were to deal with, they were still nothing more than beasts in his eyes, nothing more than needing a bit more time and strength to deal with.
Right at this time, the youngster suddenly felt pain from his ankle. When he lowered his head, he discovered that a wasp was currently nailed there, tearing at that area viciously. Its jaws were abnormally sharp, as well as possessing an even more abnormal amount of power. They actually chewed through the young man’s skin that wasparable to the toughness of steel, even barely piecing into the densely woven muscle tissues whose rigidity wasn’t any less than rock before injecting a pitch-ck venom into his body. Once the venom entered his body, it immediately dispersed. Even though the young man’s powerful immune system immediately activated a response, most of it neutralized and counteracted, a small amount still tenaciously remained. Just this bit of poison alone was simrly enough to make the injury somewhat inmed.
“Yi, what is this thing?” The young man cried out in surprise. The short de drew out a streak of lightning, already cutting the wasp in half. The wasp that only had half its brain left still continued to open and close its jaws, the speed at which it chewed at the young man’s flesh not lessening in the slightest. Only, when the short de’s edge passed through the wasp, there was actually a sharp and clear metallic striking sound that made the young man’s mind slightly fall. This sound was quite simr to that of when he blocked the Herk’s fangs and ws. It wasn’t a misconception, but rather that these two creatures’ skeletons both possessed quite a bit of metalponents, theseponents substantially increasing their toughness.
There were many types of mutated creatures, but he had never heard of any who were able to evolve a metal skeleton. If this type of creature could further evolve, it might very well achieve some type of flesh and mechanical integration.
This meant a new evolutionary path, the significance of this for Sun God Temple which specialized in biochemical science and technology extremely great. However, the young man wasn’t in the mood to collect specimen right now, because his sharp intuition already caught a whiff of danger. This danger was extremely hard to understand, like the undercurrent in an ocean; the surface appearing rather calm, yet energy brewing underneath. Once it erupted, it would release devastating might.
He frowned. While observing his surroundings vigntly, his body quickly shifted sideways, guiding the surrounding Herk over, moreover, he seized a moment of opportunity to remove a Herk’s legs. Unfortunately, the remaining Herk’s follow-up attacks were just too timely, not even giving him a split second of extra time, leaving him with no choice but to give up on the chance to obtain a full evolutionary point.
While flickering, something suddenly shed through the rainforest, drawing his attention. Ability users were all strong, the young man’s intelligence and memory even more exceptional. In that instant, he already reyed the scene he just saw in his mind, moreover continuously erging the details, finally finding the source of his uneasiness. There was a tiny ck dot between a few leaves, and when erged, one would discover that it was the abdomen of a wasp. It was currently flying, but it wasn’t relying on its wings, but rather releasing several fine sts of air from its abdomen, allowing its speed to be exceptionally fast, to the extent where it was a bit blurry even when the young man reyed the scene in his memories.
Air jet propulsion? This was still a wasp?
Before the young man had time to feel shock, he suddenly felt as if he couldn’t be bothered to deal with the Herk all around him who were waiting for a chance. He stopped, his face gradually falling as he stared into the rainforest depths.
