On the truck, under Emmitt Wesley’s interrogation, the heavily injured rebel confessed all his information.
As Mullen Weisz speculated, this elite rebel squad had been hiding in a nearby village after their main force was wiped out, not daring to show themselves.
When the plane flew over their heads earlier, someone guessed that it was a new batch of Federal Martial Height Genius coming to support them.
So they made a temporary plan to ambush them outside the town on a dirt-fill road, aiming to kill some geniuses in revenge against the Federation.
They hid under a pile of bricks that they had dug out earlier, making it hard to expose themselves and not coming out regardless of whether the explosion was successful or not, allowing them a flexible offense and defense.
Little did they know they would encounter Jack Clark, a freak who could detect their position through his gaze.
The hotel base became much livelier with the addition of thirty freshmen.
After experiencing the ambush and witnessing Marcus Lee’s fierce fighting style as a “senior”, these freshmen lost their arrogance.
Over the next few days, the freshmen were very humble and, following Sylvia Lyons’ request for experienced members to guide newcomers, they accompanied Zac Lyons and others on their daily outings.
Some freshmen even modified their battle armors by adding extra thickness, welding wings, or installing four spider-like folding mechanical arms.
As a result, Lester City’s trial atmosphere became increasingly strange.
Meanwhile, as the intelligence system improved, any murder in Lester City or missing person in the surrounding villages would be reported to the task platform.
This included reports from civilians who discovered traces of rebels.
At such times, the task platform would issue missions for Jack Clark and others to quickly drive to the scene and investigate, eliminating many tedious intermediate procedures.
Under these conditions, the blood disciples and rebels hidden in Lester City were constantly uncovered, and their living space was shrinking.
Although some trial participants were injured, there had been no deaths so far, and everyone was making rapid progress in their constant combat and resource exchange.
This atmosphere was fitting for a trial.
However, having too many people had a disadvantage – there were not enough tasks to go around, and sometimes there would be no gains for several days. Seeing this, Jack Clark simply focused all his energy on the Heavy Armored Beast.
November 25
Under the deep water, a 2.95-meter-long mutant beast covered in thick black armor slowly swam, its eyes surveying its surroundings with a faint golden glow.
Following its frenzied hunting and growth, the Heavy Armored Beast had become the absolute ruler of this wide estuary.
Even Mutated Fishes that were five or six meters long would either flee from it from afar or become the Heavy Armored Beast’s nourishment for growth.
Crunch! The Heavy Armored Beast chewed on a “snack” over a meter-long, contemplating whether it should venture into the open sea.
Almost all Mutated Fishes larger than 1.5 meters in the estuary within tens of kilometers had been eaten by it.
Today, after patrolling for half an hour, it hadn’t discovered any “big” food, leaving Jack Clark somewhat annoyed.
Eventually, after pondering for a while, the Heavy Armored Beast flicked its tail and swam towards the open sea with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Originally, it had planned to enter the sea only after its third evolution for safety reasons.
But now, with the ‘scarcity’ of food and the rapid increase in its strength, Jack Clark decided to take a look.
Boom! The black Mutated Beast, nearly three meters long, silently passed through the waves at the freshwater-sea boundary, feeling a sudden discomfort in its lungs.
Gurgle, gurgle!!
At a depth of more than ten meters, the Heavy Armored Beast exhaled a stream of bubbles, shaking its head before allowing its body to acclimate to the seawater.
Compared to estuaries twenty or thirty meters deep, the depth of the estuary mouth was only around ten meters due to the long-term impact of silt and mud, making the sea water murky and full of countless small fish and shrimp.
The Heavy Armored Beast swam about ten miles out when the water depth gradually reached thirty or forty meters.At a distance, a huge shadow slowly swam at the bottom of the sea, thirty meters deep, causing all the fish and shrimp in its path to flee in a panic.
It was a mutated catfish, eight meters long with a seven-meter-long tail and a wingspan of ten meters. Its elongated body was covered with scales due to mutation.
What drew the most attention was the sharp black bone spur at the tip of its tail, which was one meter long, likely not only sharp but also highly poisonous.
At this moment, the mutated catfish was feeding, its enormous mouth producing a powerful suction force, sweeping all the small fish, shrimp, and soft-bodied creatures below like a vacuum cleaner.
The seawater filtered to remove the fish and shrimp was sprayed out from the gills on both sides, stirring up a tidal wave of water flow.
Seeing such a huge mutated fish, the Heavy Armored Beast, which had not eaten for a long time, felt its eyes turn red and excitedly charged forward with a flick of its tail.
Gurgle!!
Watching the approaching black mutated beast, the mutated catfish issued a warning and threatening sound. With its ten-meter-long body spread out, it suddenly stirred up a violent current.
Bang!
The water flow, strong enough to lift a sedan, crashed into the Heavy Armored Beast and exploded like waves hitting a reef rock, unable to budge the beast in the slightest.
With a swing of its tail, the Heavy Armored Beast dodged the gigantic wings of the mutated catfish and launched a burst of speed, landing behind it, and then brought down its double claws.
Bang! Astonishingly powerful with a full-force strike, the Heavy Armored Beast slammed the ten-meter mutated catfish down into the seabed, stirring up numerous sands and mud, and letting out a gurgle of pain.
Just as the Heavy Armored Beast prepared to pounce to shatter the catfish’s head, the seawater behind it suddenly burst open, and a bone spur as thick as an arm was shot like a heavy artillery.
The mutated catfish’s full-strength strike reached subsonic speed, and the Heavy Armored Beast couldn’t dodge it in time, or perhaps it just didn’t bother, and faced it directly with the thickest part of its back armor.
Boom!
As the subsonic-speed bone spur hit the Heavy Armored Beast’s back armor, a ring of substantial shockwaves exploded, forming a transparent bubble that rushed out more than ten meters away.
Creak!
The thickest part of the Heavy Armored Beast’s armor made a creaking sound, and the one-centimeter-thick black keratin on the surface cracked. The violent impact further slammed it onto the catfish.
This was the first time the armor had been shattered since the Heavy Armored Beast’s second evolution, especially as its armor was getting increasingly harder with its growing body.
Considering a surface layer of the armor had been cracked under these conditions, one can imagine how powerful the catfish’s attack was.
Although the bone spur also broke due to the intense collision.
However, the strike inadvertently helped the Heavy Armored Beast. With the aid of this tremendous force, it slammed onto the catfish’s body, its four claws grabbing its back, and bit down hard on its head.
Due to the terrifying biting force, a bloody hole was created in the back of the catfish’s brain, even crushing the skull underneath.
But because of its immense size, the brain was not damaged. Facing the threat of death, the mutated catfish struggled violently, stirring up turbulent waves and rolling sands with its double wings.
Yet it couldn’t shake off the Heavy Armored Beast on its back.
At that moment, the Heavy Armored Beast’s left claw reached out, its thick claws gripping and tugging at the wounded area created by its bite on the mutated catfish’s head. With a sudden pull, the catfish stiffened.
After killing its prey, the horrifying and ferocious Heavy Armored Beast began feasting on the mutated catfish, tearing off hundreds of pounds of flesh and blood with each bite.
Rolling blood seeped out through the wounds, turning the surrounding water red. Countless small fish smelling the blood scent swam over.
However, when the fish and shrimp approached within ten meters, they all stopped, terrified by the invisible aura of ferocity that permeated the surrounding area.
At that moment, two gray sharks, each seven meters long, slowly emerged, the pungent scent of blood exciting them.
Feasting on its prey, the Heavy Armored Beast suddenly turned its head. At some point, its black vertical pupils were stained with blood, exuding a chillingly brutal and terrifying aura.
Instantly, the two gray sharks stiffened, then hastily turned and swam away.
Seeing this, the Heavy Armored Beast slowly returned to its feast, its body now stained red by the fresh blood oozing from the catfish’s body, appearing even more ferocious..
