Chapter 99 Destroying the city and the stronghold, the ‘terrible’ Chen Chu (second update
At the entrance where the tributaries merge into the river, more than ten minutes after the sword-armored beast disappeared, two figures appeared, with the true power of the fifth heaven flowing through them.
Looking at the large hole in the river embankment that exploded, and the footprints of mutant beasts at the bottom of the huge pit that exploded, one of the middle-aged men said solemnly.
"The light wave detector in front showed that a mutant beast with energy fluctuation of level 4 appeared here. Originally, I thought it was a huge evolutionary body appearing in the river."
"But looking at these paw prints, they don't seem to be aquatic mutant beasts."
Another person shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily. Judging from the direction of those paw prints, the mutant beast finally entered the river, so it may be a mutant crocodile."
"Or it's a mutated aquatic creature that has evolved limbs."
At this point, the two of them were slightly silent.
After a long time, the middle-aged man slowly spoke: "The mutated beast has entered the river and is difficult to track. However, according to the past evolutionary rules, it will swim along the current to the ocean."
"Compared to the faint energy of heaven and earth contained in rivers, the ocean with richer energy is more attractive to these creatures."
The other person nodded, and then said solemnly: "No matter what, there are more and more mutated creatures in the river, and I feel that I need to find a way to control them."
"Okay. When I get back, I will propose to the superiors to selectively catch fish that are over two meters in size and have signs of mutation on their bodies."
"I feel like we can mobilize the power of the masses..."
…………
Early in the morning, in the hotel lobby, Chen Chu walked out of the elevator wearing a dark red armor.
With a tall figure of 1.85 meters, his metal combat boots would make a dull vibration every time he took a step on the carpet, giving him a feeling of being as steady as a mountain.
The fragmentary black hair has not been trimmed for three months and has already covered the ears. The bangs sway slightly when walking, and the facial features are handsome, making him look very chic and handsome.
"Chen Chu."
"Brother Chen."
"Brother Chen, you have to go out."
Looking at Chen Chu walking out, the students from Nantian Wuguo High School and the students from the other two schools in the hall greeted him warmly.
Compared to being an unknown person at school, Chen Chu skyrocketed after arriving at Lestru, becoming very popular among his classmates and subsequent freshmen.
Even the evil Li Hao couldn't suppress him.
Facing these friendly greetings, Chen Chu responded to them all with a smile on his face, and there was no trace of the violence and domineering in him that he showed during the battle.
After walking out of the hotel, Chen Chu went to the military district to apply for a rough off-road vehicle that had been modified so that students wearing armor could drive it by themselves.
Putting the knife diagonally on the back seat, Chen Chu drove out.
Soon the off-road vehicle drove onto the main road out of the city, and the traffic seemed a little more lively along the way.
After almost a month, except for a few cities in Kolaya, the situation in other cities has almost completely stabilized.
The newly established joint government overthrew the royal system, promulgated many laws to benefit the people during this period, and implemented them seriously, making the Koroya people more and more identified with the federation.
Of course, the recovery after this kind of demolition and reconstruction is very slow.
Soon Chen Chu came to the abandoned and uninhabited urban village on the outskirts, where the Nantian Wu High School student died.
Parking the car outside, Chen Chu walked in calmly.
In the dilapidated three-story building hall, Chen Chu took a deep breath, and in an instant, a violent aura erupted from his body, and his muscles swelled and his whole body was punched.
Boom! A punch covered in black power was blasted out, and the air in front of him exploded instantly. The half-meter-thick cement pillar exploded with a bang, ignoring the scattered pieces.
Chen Chu, who blasted the load-bearing pillar with one punch, moved and erupted into a series of piercing screams, like a violent giant elephant slamming into the far wall.
Boom! The wall collapsed, and the whole building shook slightly as the smoke and dust filled the air.
Boom boom boom!! Chen Chu was like a violent giant beast, rampaging through the abandoned urban village, bursting out with terrifying power and destroying everything with every move he made.
He seemed extremely crazy and domineering.
In his hands, one after another one-story houses and small high-rise buildings continued to collapse, the ground shook, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the faint light of sharp swords chopped everything into pieces.
Of course, Chen Chu is not crazy. He is just testing his strength after his physique has skyrocketed to avoid being unable to fully control his strength later.
And with his current strength, the noise caused by the test at the base was too great, so he came here specially.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that Chen Chu slowly walked out of the village in the city where half of the buildings had collapsed, looking calm as the sky was filled with smoke and dust.
Noon, restaurant.
Just when Chen Chu finished cooking and was carrying the plate to find a table to sit down at, Xia Youhui waved to him not far away and shouted: "A Chu, here."
Chen Chu walked over, and after sitting down, Xia Youhui asked curiously: "A Chu, where did you go this morning? I didn't see you at the training ground?"
Chen Chu said casually: "I drove out for a while, trying to see if I could be lucky enough to catch a vampire or something, but unfortunately I didn't encounter anything."
Xia Youhui said hey: "It's normal. It's not as chaotic as it was at the beginning."
"After more than half a month, especially under the crazy raids by the new trial students, those guys who were so bloodthirsty that they would kill within a week were almost all killed."
At this time, Xia Youhui said: "By the way, Ah Chu, do you know about the squad leader's breakthrough?"
"Has the squad leader also made a breakthrough? It's amazing." Chen Chu praised.
Xia Youhui rolled his eyes: "...Achu, why do I feel like I'm going to beat you up every time I hear you praise others for their awesomeness?"
"Why?"
Chen Chu looked at him strangely: "Is there anything wrong with praising others for their awesomeness?"
"Under normal circumstances, it's really no problem."
"But there's a problem when that person is you."
Xia Youhui gritted his teeth and said: "You are obviously getting more and more powerful. You are more fierce than anyone else in fighting, but you act elegant and easy-going in front of us every day."
"Is this interesting?"
Chen Chu wondered: "When facing the enemy, it is natural to kill them decisively and quickly. Kill them. Doesn't this have anything to do with my usual humility and easy-going attitude?"
"Am I going to have to pull a cool dick to the sky, or look at everyone looking evil and cold and arrogant?"
"It's not like that."
Xia Youhui was a little tangled and said: "What I mean is that you can be domineering and tough in your actions and words, so that I can have more confidence when I show off."
"What does your pretense have to do with me?" Chen Chu was confused.
"Of course it does matter."
Xia Youhui said speechlessly: "Every time I break through the realm and increase my strength and want to show off in front of Liu Feng and the others, you appear calmly."
"And you are obviously more powerful than me, and you also have a humble face. In comparison, my pretentious mood that was ready to show off suddenly felt boring."
Chen Chu couldn't help but laugh: "You can't blame me. Why don't I come out next time when you've had enough pretense?"
"Okay, you said it yourself."
The two of them finished their meal while joking and then dispersed. Xia Youhui went back to continue practicing hard.
Chen Chuze came to the rooftop of the hotel and his consciousness sank.
On the coral reef more than fifty meters underwater, the ferocious black mutant beast lay quietly, looking around with its pale golden vertical pupils.
After devouring two large mutated fish in succession in the morning, the sword-armored beast conducted a certain patrol around the surrounding territory to familiarize itself with the environment.
Although the deep sea is rich in resources, it is also extremely dangerous. In this case, even a sword-armored beast would not dare to be careless, otherwise it would be a disaster if it suddenly encounters a level nine mutant beast.
While Chen Chu was thinking wildly, a grouper more than two meters long swam slowly outside the coral reef.
When it approached the coral reef where the sword-armored beast was, bang! The water exploded in an instant, and a sword thorn pierced out like a black stream of light.
Poof! The sword stab penetrated Groupan's head instantly, causing him to die before he could even feel the pain.
These creatures are not sword-armored beasts. Many fish have very weak eyesight and mainly rely on other senses to sense the fluctuations in the surrounding water flow to determine the situation.
At this time, the ferocious figure of the sword-armored beast moved slightly, its tail clad in the fish head rolled slightly, and it pulled the grouper in front of its head and took a bite.
The sword-armored beast holds the grouper in its claws and bites and devours it. Its tail sways behind it, and its ferocious figure swims deeper into the ocean in search of prey.
…………
December 2nd, morning.
Chen Chu wore a battle armor and walked out of the elevator with a helmet in his left hand. His black cape danced slightly behind him as he walked.
Under the steps of the hotel, four modified large pickup trucks have been parked, where Li Hao, Xia Youhui, and Li Meng, who are also fully armed, are waiting for him.
The weapons of the three were placed in the back of their respective pickup trucks, especially Li Hao's weapon, which had lengthened from the original three meters to a terrifying four meters.
The four pickup truck tires were sagged slightly under the pressure of the thicker and longer heavy steel pillars.
Looking at Chen Chu walking down, Li Hao nodded slightly: "Everyone is here, let's get ready to go."
"Okay." Chen Chu had no objection.
As he said that, the four of them each got into a modified pickup truck. As the engine started, the four large pickup trucks turned around and drove away into the distance.
This scene was witnessed by many students. A student from Heshan Wuguo High School asked curiously: "What are they going to do? They look like they are going far away."
Liu Feng, who was leaning against the wall of the hotel, crossed his arms and said with envy: "They are going to do something big."
The student from Heshan Wugao was a little surprised: "Big deal? Could it be that traces of the blood disciples from the Third Heaven were discovered?"
"Pfft! Who are the blood disciples of the Third Heaven? It's worth letting the four of them join forces." Bai Mu, who was also leaning against the wall, couldn't help laughing.
This batch of new students arrived late. During this period of time, they were chasing those blood disciples and rebel cultivators, and all they encountered were ordinary people from the first and second realms.
I have never seen Chen Chu and Li Hao take action.
For the two guys now, not to mention the third-level blood disciples, even the fourth-level believers have a high probability of killing them alone when they encounter them.
What a pity. Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little regretful.
After a week of seclusion, only Li Meng made a lucky break yesterday and was qualified to participate in the hunt for the king-blood mutant beast.
As for the four modified pickup trucks, they were provided by Li Hao.
In addition, he also prepared food and water for several days in the mountain. Chen Chu and the others only needed to kill the mutated beasts.
This is a big dog, generous in spending.
Of course, this operation was reported to teacher Liu Feixu, and the four of them could not leave the Lestru area until permission was obtained. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to her superiors if something went wrong.
After all, the four of them are all geniuses who have broken through to the third level of heaven in a short period of time.
The Kata Mountains span half of Koroya, and the city of Lestru is almost 150 kilometers away from the nearest entrance to the mountains, passing through two small cities.
During this period, some roads...well, some rough mud roads were also needed to be passed during this period.
So we set out in the morning, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the four of us arrived at the foot of the mountain. The terrain there was flat, and there were already five Kolaya people camping outside the forest.
This group of people looked determined, and they all carried submachine guns and rifles on their backs. We could even see grenade guns and other heavy firearms in the tent behind them.
They are the mercenaries Li Hao found.
Although these people are ordinary people, they all have rich experience in traveling through the mountains and forests, and are very powerful in combat. They specialize in searching and even capturing ordinary mutant creatures.
Of course, the mutant creatures they captured before were ordinary creatures that had some traces of mutation and were not even first-level mutant beasts.
So this time they were in trouble. Four of the nine people in the group died while exploring the traces of the mutant beasts.
However, I am doing this business just for money, and I have been mentally prepared for it, so I don’t have any thoughts of dissatisfaction or resentment.
Looking at Li Hao getting out of the car, the middle-aged Kolaya, the burliest among them, greeted him enthusiastically: "Boss, you are here."
Li Hao said in a deep voice: "Look after the car for me, and I will transfer the balance to you when we come out."
"No problem boss."
"Boss, this is a map I drew. I have marked some places with dangerous mutant beasts on it." As he said that, the mercenary handed Li Hao a sheepskin.
While they were talking, Chen and Chu also got out of the car, carrying a small backpack containing supplies on their backs and holding weapons in their hands.
There are many dangers on the road ahead, and it is of course safer to hold weapons in your hands.
But when the mercenaries looked at the long knives, heavy shields, heavy hammers and the iron pillars carried by Li Hao in the hands of the four of them, awe showed on their faces.
Seeing the four of them striding towards the mountains, the burly man couldn't help shouting: "Boss, you have to be careful, especially the ordinary mutated poisonous insects and snakes."
"These must not be underestimated."
Of course, this mercenary is not that kind.
He was mainly afraid that if these geniuses from the Federation died carelessly, not only would they not be able to get the remaining money, but they might also get into trouble.
Li Hao just waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
After the Third Heaven, Li Meng, the weakest of the four, has a physique more than ten times that of an ordinary person, and his arm strength exceeds one thousand kilograms.
At this time, even if they were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy weapons, everyone was walking like wind in the mountains and forests. If there were roads, they would walk. If there were no roads, they would just jump across the ravines and steep slopes.
The speed was so fast that we crossed two peaks in just half an hour.
As for the weeds and thorns on the road, ordinary poisonous insects, snakes and ants simply ignored them and could not cause any hindrance to the four people wearing full body armor.
But after running for more than 30 kilometers...
Bang!
The four-meter-long iron pillar covered with red power crashed down. In an instant, strong winds roared, and the wild boar weighing over a thousand kilograms was smashed into a pulp from head to tail.
Extremely domineering.
Li Hao, who had killed the wild boar, picked up the iron pillar and shook it. His strength shook off the flesh and blood on it, and he carried it on his shoulders with a bang. He looked like a demon against the backdrop of the four one-meter-long curved corners.
This wild boar is just a sideshow.
The four of them continued on their way. Suddenly, the sword in Chen Chu's hand flashed in front and swept through the jungle on the side. A colorful venomous snake more than four meters long was chopped into two pieces.
After taking a look at the dead body of the venomous snake, the four of them looked calm and continued on their way. However, after just a few kilometers, Li Meng suddenly jumped up high and slammed down the heavy hammer in his hand.
Bang! In an instant, the dead leaves in front exploded.
The head of a mimic monitor lizard, which was more than two meters long and had brown spots all over its body, exploded, splattering blood and flesh, and exuding a strong bloody smell.
Xia Youhui couldn't help complaining: "Damn, why do I feel like these animals are so aggressive?"
Chen Chu shook his head: "Not only are they very aggressive, these creatures also have traces of mutation. Although they are only slightly stronger than ordinary creatures, it is not a good sign."
Hearing this, several other people's faces also looked a little solemn.
They usually live in cities and only need to go to the market to buy food and clothing, so they never knew that the situation in the deep mountains and wild forests could be so serious.
There are very aggressive wild animals everywhere, and many of them have faint traces of mutation.
This is still a barren place like Kolaya, but what about Eastern Xia, where the energy of heaven and earth is rich?
Given the environment and vastness of Dongxia, the number of mutant beasts in the deep mountains and wilds will only become more and more terrifying.
No wonder the government organizes senior students from major universities to hunt mutant beasts every year, and at the same time sends troops to blockade those large and dangerous mountains.
The official armed forces in various places also clean up the surrounding wild animals from time to time to nip these mutant beasts that are dangerous to ordinary people in the cradle.
But even so, everyone could vaguely see a terrifying future where the mountains and plains were filled with mutant beasts.
Soon the four of them advanced more than ten kilometers into the mountains. Just as they passed by the foot of a mountain, a violent roar exploded from above.
Roar!
In the forest, a huge black bear with a shoulder height of more than two meters, a body length of five meters, and a weight of more than two tons rushed down, apparently treating the four people as prey invading its territory.
Xia Youhui suddenly said excitedly: "Don't take action, leave this to me."
Along the way, it was Chen Chu and the others in front who took action and killed the mutated creatures that attacked them cleanly, which made Xia Youhui very itchy.
I saw an earth-colored light erupting from Xia Youhui's body, exuding a heavy aura as thick as a mountain and covering it with a heavy shield.
"kill."
Shouting fiercely, Xia Youhui was like an armored basalt, charging towards the mutated black bear rushing down the mountain with a roar. In the blink of an eye, one man and one beast collided with each other.
Boom! The earth-colored light exploded under the violent impact. The soil under Xia Youhui's feet exploded and the ground shook, but his seemingly much smaller figure remained motionless.
But the black bear that collided with him screamed in agony. Not only was half of its body knocked out by the heavy shield spikes, with more than a dozen bloody holes, but it was also blown away more than ten meters by the terrifying backlash force.
The black bear, covered in blood, fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, then struggled a little and stopped moving.
This is the power of the Xuanwu Thick Earth True Technique. Not only is the defense terrifying, but it also has a certain counterattack power at the first level.
At this time, as Xia Youhui broke through the third heaven, the force of the heavy shield's counterattack became even stronger, and combined with the power of his own charge, the black bear was directly shocked to death.
Of course, the reason why Xia Youhui looks so fierce is that the black bear is only a first-level mutant beast.
Li Meng shouted: "Xia Youhui, stop pretending, it's just a first-level mutant beast, hurry up and leave."
"Damn!" Xia Youhui turned around and gave him a middle finger, couldn't he be allowed to pretend for a while longer?
