In the state of battle, Jack Clark’s will fully entered the state of the Sword Armor Beast.
Cold, ruthless, mad.
Suddenly, the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King that was wreaking havoc in the surrounding dozens of meters abruptly halted.
Its massive palms slammed into the ground, terrifying power burst from its intact right leg muscle as it leaped several dozen meters into the air with a bang.
“It’s trying to run!”
Watching the Golden-Backed Ape King descending towards the mountain forest, Jack Clark’s eyes sharpened, the dirt beneath him exploded, and he too leapt several dozen meters into the air.
Boom!
In mid-air, Jack Clark, like a cannonball, was struck directly by the palm of the golden-backed violent ape and harshly slammed into the forest hundreds of meters away, shattering several trees before coming to a halt.
Jacked Clark was already significantly weaker than the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape in sheer power; added to the constraints of his own weight and body size, he was directly sent flying without any leverage in the air.
Yet because of his strike as interference, the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape in mid-air also halted its momentum due to the counterforce and fell to the ground with a thunderous crash.
At the moment Jack Clark made his move, Justin Welan rushed over carrying his heavy shield, yelling, “We can’t let it escape!”
“Not only can I take it, but I can also deal it.” In his roar of fury, Justin Welan’s body emitted a yellow light, and as the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape landed, he leaped high into the air.
“Mysterious Martial Thick Earth, suppress it for me!” As Justin roared, he unleashed a force heavier than anything, as if a colossal piece of earth was falling from the sky.
Even though he was only about 1.8 meters tall and seemed insignificant compared to the 2-meter tall ape, the moment he landed on its chest, Justin seemed as heavy as a mountain. Under the tremendous yellow aura, the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape was pinned down, its ferocious face revealing a horrified roar.
Howard Lee, of course, did not miss this opportunity.
Following close behind, he burst forth with all his strength, his body glowing red like a Bull Demon. His iron column hit the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape’s head with the force of a mountain avalanche.
Boom!
Even the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape couldn’t withstand Howard Lee’s all-out attack. Large pieces of scale exploded, blood flowed from its fractured skull, its head buzzed and consciousness blurred.
Whoosh! A shadow in the sky flashed, and Jack Clark turned into a dark shadow descending from the sky. His 2-meter long slash blade, like a streak of light, pierced through the eye socket and the eye of the ape.
In the blink of an eye, it was completely buried in its brain.
At that moment, both Jack Clark’s and Howard Lee’s faces changed drastically. They moved instinctively to evade.
Howard Lee even left his weapon, the iron column, to one side, and Jack Clark also released his grip on the sword handle. In the blink of an eye, he pulled Justin Welan back by the neck and retreated.
In the instant when Jack Clark grabbed his neck, Justin also reacted, discarding his heavy shield.
Roar roar roar!!
The Golden-Backed Ape King roared suddenly, wildly attacking everything around it. In a flash, the ground trembled, the fierce wind howled, and fragments of stone and dust were scattered over a range of several dozen meters.
Almost a minute later, the legless Golden-Backed Berserk Ape abruptly stiffened, its massive body collapsed with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“…Finally dead.” Justin Welan collapsed, his tension drained. He lay on the ground taking deep breaths, a wry smile on his face.
“We’ve lost a lot this time. My hard-won Thick Earth spirit.”
The all-out attack he had just launched was the result of absorbing the Thick Earth Spirit from the Mysterious Yellow Crystal.
He could instantly release the Thick Earth Spirit he had refined, combining it with his True Strength to form a weight heavy as a mountain to suppress his enemy.
However, this meant he would need to accumulate such a large amount of Thick Earth Spirit over at least a month again.
Moreover, the remaining Thick Earth Spirit inside that Mysterious Yellow Crystal could only allow him to perform this move one more time at best.
The good news was that his physique had already undergone a qualitative change during this period of cultivation with the Thick Earth Spirit. Otherwise, such losses could have made him weep.
Howard Lee took off his helmet, revealing his crude and fierce face, with blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth, staining his chin and neck red.
Even with his innate divine strength, he had suffered heavy injuries in the face-on clash with the terrifying Golden-Backed Ape King.
Contrarily, Jack Clark was in a much better condition. Apart from feeling some muscle soreness and loss of much of his true strength, he was relatively unscathed.
At that point, Marcus Lee, struggling to drag his hammer, walked over and grunted, “Damn it, is this what a Level 3 Mutant Beast is like? Did you trick us, Howard Lee?”
“Of course not,” Howard Lee glanced at him and stated firmly, “It is indeed a Level 3 Golden-Backed Berserk Ape King. Its power is terrifying due to its king-level bloodline. Why would 1 need your help if it were weak?”
“Ugh…” Marcus Lee was speechless since Howard Lee’s words made sense.
Considering the terrifying power Marcus Lee had displayed in the battle, overpowering the third layer heaven, he alone would have being enough to defeat the ape, if it was weak.
At this point Jack Clark spoke up, “Take a rest, both of you, use some medicine to heal yourselves. I’ll go ahead and check out the situation.”
“Alright.”
This time, all three of them anticipated the possibility of getting injured, so they all traded contribution points for Blood Jade Fruit, a healing resource.
It comes from the fruit of a special type of plant called blood vine. Consuming it replenishes one’s Qi Blood, allowing quick recovery from external injuries. Even broken bones can be visibly reconnected in a short time, without affecting any movement.
Although its effects are excellent, it is very costly. As such, Jack Clark, who believed he wouldn’t get injured, didn’t trade for it.
In his perspective, even if he got minor injuries, it would not be worth using valuable contribution points to heal.
Given his present body constitution, his endurance and recovery rate are quite terrifying.
After three phases of avatar evolution, Jack Clark even tested by cutting his own finger once. The deep, bone-visible wound healed naturally in just one minute. That’s the advantage of a high physique attribute.
Upon reaching the gigantic corpse of the golden-backed berserk ape, Jack Clark leaped onto its huge head. Grasping the blade hilt, which was only about twenty centimeters long, he pulled hard.
With a pull, blood and white matter flowed out while Jack Clark moved towards the chest of the dead ape with the knife, took a deep breath, and stabbed down forcefully.
Even though the ape was dead, its defense was still formidable. Jack Clark managed to tear a wound of over one meter in its chest with some difficulty.
Ignoring the gushing blood, Jack Clark reached into the wound. He soon beamed with joy as he found a pigeon-egg-sized red crystal drenched in blood in his hand. It was unmistakably a level 3 life crystal.
“High concentration of life energy detected in the crystal. Do you want to transform it into attribute points?” Without choosing to do so at the transparent text appearing at the bottom of his eye, Jack Clark decided not to, considering Howard Lee and the others were still around.
After about half an hour of rest, the trio had largely recovered from their injuries. Howard Lee carried the giant corpse of the Golden-Backed Berserk Ape, which was heavier and larger than an elephant.
Jack Clark, Justin Welan, and Marcus Lee each carried the corpses of six Level 2 mutant beasts.
Each Level 2 Mutant Beast corpse could be traded to the officials for 6 to 7 contribution points, and sold for more than a hundred thousand. Therefore, they couldn’t just leave the money behind.
As for the corpses of the Level One iron-armed black apes, although their hides were also valuable and could be sold for three to four hundred thousand collectively, they were simply too many to carry.
Jack Clark regretfully glanced back before leaving with the other three.
From a high altitude view, it looked as if four ants were moving objects several times bigger than themselves. It was a comical sight.
As the four men passed by, all snakes, insects, rats, and ants went into hiding, terrified by the oppressive killing intent they were emitting..
