According to the map provided by the mercenaries and compared with the mobile satellite map, the Iron-Armed Black Ape was about 150 kilometers away from their entry point into the mountain.
During the journey, they had to cross nine peaks, two small rivers, and pass through the territories of three dangerous Unique Beasts.
Of course, this danger was for the mercenaries. In the eyes of Jack Clark and the others, these were just one Level 3 and two Level 2 Mutated Beasts.
The Level 3 Mutated Beast was a 13-meter long Glasses King Snake, known for its speed, strength and venomous fangs. Its scales were strong enough to withstand bullets from the Snake Scale Rifle.
At that time, two of the mercenaries were devoured by this Glasses King Snake. They had to throw more than a dozen high-explosive grenades to escape pursuit.
The other two Level 2 Variant Beasts were a giant crocodile that inhabited the river beach and a 9-meter long Spike Wolf.
“Shall we kill it?”
At sunset, in the forest on the hillside, Jack Clark and the others looked ahead where a black python over 10 meters long was coiled around a tree trunk.
Its flattened neck was a meter wide, giving its hideous snake head a more oppressive appearance.
At this time, the King Python slightly raised its head, its black pupils looking coldly in the direction of Jack Clark and the others. It had obviously noticed them from more than 10 meters away.
As a snake species, its senses were not limited to its eyes but also its sense of smell and heat perception.
However, as a Level 3 Mutated Beast, Jack Clark and the others did not take it seriously. They were now discussing whether to kill it or bypass it and return later.
After all, a Level 3 Mutated Beast was worth several hundred thousand dollars and would yield 20 contribution points if handed over to the official, which was much simpler than killing ten Second-layer Blood Servants.
Howard Lee said in a deep voice, “I suggest bypassing this Glasses King Snake and coming back to kill it later. Otherwise, carrying its corpse will be too troublesome; it’d be a waste if we have to leave it.”
Jack Clark nodded, “In that case, I suggest also bypassing the other two Mutated Beasts.”
“Alright.” Justin Welan and Marcus Lee had no objections.
“I’ll lead it away.”
As Jack Clark said this, he dashed out of the forest and appeared more than 10 meters away in the open space. Picking up a human head-sized stone from the ground.
Bang! With terrifying power, the stone flew out like a cannonball, hitting the Glasses King Snake accurately on the head.
The enormous force turned the stone into powder and the resulting kinetic energy sent the snake’s head flying.
Hiss!
The Glasses King Snake was immediately enraged by Jack Clark. It let out a cold hiss and its body slid down the tree in an instant, moving like a black line.
The King Python’s thick body effortlessly moved through the grass and shrubs, forming a snake path, its speed as fast as the wind, quickly crossing dozens of meters.
The Glasses King Snake had a reputation for being swift, and after mutation, its speed was even more astonishing.
But Jack Clark was even faster, creating a huge explosion of air and disappearing from the spot.
“So fast.” Seeing Jack Clark and the python, who had vanished in the blink of an eye, the other three were slightly startled.
It was strange that Jack Clark, who cultivates strength-based cultivation methods, was so fast, it made them puzzled.
Actually, since coming to the Koroya Trials, many people noticed that Jack’s agility and speed are unusual. He did not seem like a cultivator who mainly focused on strength.
But no one asked more about this, including Justin Welan.
After all, everyone had their secrets. For example, Howard Lee, everyone knew that his goal in organizing the group was most likely the Essence Blood of the Golden-Backed Violent Ape.
Otherwise, why would they hunt the more dangerous ape group instead of hunting other Mutated Beasts?
Quickly getting rid of the Glasses King Snake, Jack Clark caught up with the others. The foursome ran another 20 kilometers, and when they crossed the territory of the giant crocodile, suddenly stopped.
There was no choice, it was night time.
At this time, they were still about 40 kilometers away from the mountain where the Iron-Armed Black Ape was.
In the afternoon, the four of them had run more than 110 kilometers in six hours. Their average speed was around 20 kilometers per hour, which was obviously slow for their strength.
But there was no choice, it was difficult to navigate the mountain forest, and both Justin Welan and Howard Lee were heavily burdened.
The four quickly set up a tent under a cliff where the ground was made of stones, which was relatively safer. After agreeing to take turns keeping watch every three hours, they all rested.
In the tent, Jack Clark sat cross-legged, holding a nearly depleted Blue Crystal for cultivation.
At the same time, he divided his focus, sinking his consciousness into the Sword Armor Beast.
Due to the time difference, it was still daytime there, and sunlight passed through the sea surface to provide light for the deep water.
In the coral reef more than 30 meters below the water, a black, hideous, and five-meter-long Unique Beast opened its eyes, and its huge body swam out.
After five days of devouring a large number of Mutated Fish, the Sword Armor Beast’s growth was several times faster than in its Heavy Armored Beast form, making it more ferocious.
During these days, the lowest amount of accumulated evolution value per day was around 20 points, and on some days, it reached 30 or 40 points.
The reason was that the ocean’s mutated organisms provided more energy for the Sword Armor Beast, causing it to grow faster and accumulate more evolution energy.
Under the influence of the synchronicity with its Avatar, Jack Clark’s strength also steadily increased, and his physique constantly improved.
In fact, Jack Clark had considered the issue of synchronization. Since the growth of the Avatar could affect him, could he also influence the Avatar in return?
Of course, this influence wasn’t related to physique, as his speed in cultivating True Martial Refinement simply couldn’t compete with the Avatar’s growth.
He wondered if the Sword Armor Beast could also cultivate?
As a Mutated Beast, it inherently had a high affinity with Extraordinary energies. Otherwise, it would not be able to absorb energy to mutate..
