Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Mutated Giant Beast
Translator: 549690339
There was more than one way up the mountain, and the twenty-plus special forces soldiers were divided into seven teams to charge up, followed by fully armed soldiers.
When encountering strong resistance, the special forces soldiers would throw a few metal bombs directly, blowing the remaining rebels sky-high.
When they ran out of metal bombs, the soldiers behind them would use single rocket launchers and grenade launcher heavy machine guns for firepower suppression.
If there were cultivators trying to break through and escape, they would be intercepted by these special forces students, cooperating to slowly clear the way up.
After all, not everyone was like Jack Clark, with a speed comparable to a normal Third Layer Heaven, able to detect danger in advance and equipped with battle armor that could ignore light firearms.
However, there were also some fierce fighters among them.
For example, the small team composed of Justin Welan, Howard Lee, Zac Lyons, and White Veil, had far surpassed most of their peers.
Justin Welan led the team with a heavy shield, recklessly charging and attracting firepower. He would ignore hand grenades and only dodge when faced with individual rocket launchers.
Behind him, Howard Lee and the others would take advantage of the night to flank and clear the way at a speed not much slower than Jack Clark’s.
After all, the remaining rebels had been bombarded to the point of severe injury, with few left unscathed, let alone reinforcements or support.
Boom, boom, boom!!
Outside the valley, under the night sky, Jack Clark was like a raging giant elephant, emitting a terrifying aura as he attacked ferociously, each of his attacks causing piercing shrieks.
His opponent was a Third Layer Heaven cultivator, and from his aura, he was probably at the Mid Phase of Third Layer Heaven.
However, this rebel leader had already been injured by a missile strike, his power less than 20%, and he happened to encounter Jack Clark charging up the mountain during his escape.
Splat! After taking eleven hits from Jack Clark, Kaleb spat out a mouthful of blood and his grey True Power aura began to dim.
Feeling the weakening of his aura, Jack’s own aura surged in an instant, unleashing a blade light that doubled both his speed and power in a fierce slash.
The terrifying blade instantly tore through Kaleb’s external True Power, cutting off his machete, and then bisecting his body…
In the valley, the rebel positions consisting of brick houses had turned into ruins, with craters three meters wide and ten meters deep scattered everywhere, the surrounding dirt still emitting heat.
The place was littered with rebel corpses, densely packed together under the glow of the fire, resembling a scene from hell.
However, not everyone had died – there were some rebels who had survived in the collapsed buildings and caves, waiting for the bombing to end before scattering in all directions.
Among the darkness, a group of over a dozen rebels had just run out of the valley when they saw a figure in the distance, the leading rebel shouted: “Stop, who’s there?”
But the figure didn’t stop, instead charging at them faster. The rebel leader’s expression turned grim: “It’s an enemy, kill him.”
Bang, bang, bang!! Gunfire erupted, countless bullets engulfed Jack Clark, sparking in all directions, but they failed to damage his Strengthened Battle Armor in the slightest.
For Jack at this point, the twenty-meter distance was nothing, as he instantly charged into the crowd while being struck by bullets, and with a flash of his blade, limbs and broken bodies flew everywhere.
Splash, splash!!
Carving through the enemies effortlessly, Jack had killed more than ten people in the blink of an eye, including the First Layer Heaven cultivator who led the group.
Jacks’s eyes were slightly red at this point, cold and filled with a terrifying aura of brutality. He dashed past the corpses with a single leap.
His target was the rebel headquarters.
However, when Jack stormed into the valley, the rebel base was deserted, with nothing left but the ruins and corpses.
Whoosh, whoosh!!
Jack refused to believe it and continued to search through the collapsed buildings, looking for any heavily injured cultivators that had survived – killing them would also count towards his Contribution Points.
Huh?
Just as Jack was passing by a collapsed cliff, he stopped suddenly and turned around sharply, his sharp gaze falling on the pile of broken stones at the base of the distant mountain wall.
He could vaguely sense a suppressed, violent aura coming from behind the pile of stones.
“We’ve been discovered, Koi, go out and kill him.” Upon hearing a faint female voice, the suppressed violent aura burst forth in an instant.
Boom!
The collapsed stone mill exploded like a high explosive, the ground trembled as a huge figure with a violent aura emerged, instantly turning into a dark shadow that leaped dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
Boomijust as Jack Clark dodged the attack, the collapsed building behind him was directly hit by the enormous figure, sending rubble and bricks flying everywhere and filling the air with dust and smoke.
At this moment, Jack finally saw what the creature was.
A mutated beast resembling a bull, over 4 meters tail, 8 meters long, with two pairs of sharp horns on its head, its entire body bulging with muscles, and its skin dark and shining with a metallic luster.
The mutated beast now exuded an aura similar to that of a cultivator, its aura domineering, its blood-red eyes fixed on Jack with murderous intent.
Its mouth was also full of fanged teeth, which would undoubtedly cause severe pain if it were to bite.
After the mutant beast rushed out, a slightly dark-skinned, beautiful woman with a hot body stood at the entrance of the cave.
Five soldiers stood beside her, each holding a heavily modified rifle with a thick barrel, their faces tense as they guarded her.
At this moment, the woman shouted again: “Koi, kill him! Don’t let him escape!”
Moo!
The mutated black bull roared ferociously, its massive body charging toward Jack with a thunderous sound. The ground rumbled as it landed on its hooves, like a heavy tank.
Facing this mutated beast, which was even larger than an elephant, Jack naturally didn’t rely on brute force; he deftly evaded the attack with a slight sway of his body.
And as the mutated beast passed by, he swung his knife horizontally in a dragging slash.
Tear!
As the blade crossed the mutant beast’s abdomen, it was like cutting steel, producing a harsh, sharp sound and leaving a long wound as it capitalized on the momentum of the beast’s charge.
However, the wound was only a centimeter deep and over 2 meters long, which didn’t even manage to cut through the skin of the mutated beast, let alone damage the underlying muscles.
“Such strong defense, is this a mutated beast!?” Jack exclaimed as he looked at the mutated beast, which had demolished the building and slowly turned around to face him.
If his knife had struck a small car just now, it would’ve been sliced in half, but it hadn’t even managed to completely cut through the skin of the mutated beast, which was as if it were a thick layer of alloy.
Moreover, this thick, several centimeters thick hard alloy was full of toughness.
Moo!
The mutated beast, which had missed its target, let out an angry growl; its eyes became even more violent as it charged once more, its colossal body exploding with terrifying acceleration, like a sports car achieving a hundred meters in three seconds.
Amidst the raging wind, Jack dodged again by swaying sideways.
But as he was about to swing his sword at the mutated beast’s abdomen, a sudden, intense sense of danger struck him, and he retreated explosively without even thinking.
Moo! With an angry roar, the mutated black bull stomped its front hooves against the ground, instantly creating an earth-shaking effect, and a powerful shockwave swept through tens of meters around it.
The speed of the shockwave was too fast, so even though Jack had sensed the danger ahead of time and leaped backward, his body still stiffened due to the powerful shockwave.
However, this stiffness lasted only an instant; his body returned to normal in the blink of an eye as his True Strength circulated within him.
Woosh! At that moment, a sharp whistling sound rang out next to his ear as a tail as thick as a human thigh, resembling a steel cable, tore through the air, sweeping toward him.
Jack blocked the tail with his knife mid-air.
Bang! The tail, like a steel cable, struck the blade, bending it before the latter half slammed heavily into Jack’s shoulder, eliciting an instant explosion of terrifying strength.
Jack was sent flying more than ten meters away due to the force, only coming to a gradual halt after skidding several steps upon landing.
Gazing at the mutated black bull’s snake-like tail that was over 3 meters long, Jack slowly let out a breath, his expression solemn: “So powerful.”
At that moment, he felt extremely grateful for having the foresight to prioritize defense; otherwise, that hit would have caused more than just boiling Qi Blood—it would have injured him.
Jack slowly flexed his wrist, looking at the mutated beast preparing to attack again, while his fierce and sharp aura burst forth.
As his True Strength circulated, his entire body swelled, the tattoos on his skin under the battle armor becoming visible, and a terrifying oppressive force emitted from him.
The muscles on his arms holding the knife bulged even more, making the battle armor creak from the pressure.
After two probing moves, Jack had roughly gauged the strength of the mutated beast, which belonged to a typical Level 3 Mutant Beast, equivalent to a cultivator in the Third Layer Heaven.
Such mutated beasts possess enormous strength and terrifying defense that can easily withstand light firearms, requiring heavy artillery or anti-equipment sniper rifles to be killed.
Apart from this, mutated beasts that reached Level 3 also have a special ability, like the earth-shaking attack the beast had just unleashed.
Under normal conditions, cultivators need to reach the Third Layer Heaven, with their True Strength augmented and possess Knife or Sword Aura to inflict lethal damage to these beasts.
Although Jack hadn’t reached the Third Layer Heaven, he remained confident in his ability to kill the mutated beast..
