Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Blood-drenched Cannibalism
Translator: 549690339
Outside the balcony, Jack Clark appeared to be sunbathing and resting, but in reality, his consciousness had already sunk and arrived at the Heavy Armored Beast’s side.
It had been over forty days since its second evolution.
After continuous devouring and evolution, the Heavy Armored Beast’s body had swollen another round, appearing thicker, heavier, and like a lizard with armor.
In particular, the three pairs of feather horns on both sides of its head were blood-red, half a meter long, and covered with sharp spikes, making the Heavy Armored Beast look extremely fierce and domineering.
At a depth of more than 20 meters, the Heavy Armored Beast placed its limbs on both sides of its body, its sturdy tail swaying slightly, searching for suitable prey.
Biu!
A shadow flashed by like lightning in front of it, and if the Heavy Armored Beast hadn’t been observant, it might not have noticed it.
biu! The sound of the barely discernable water flow cutting through the air rang out as the shadow appeared again, this time flashing past the Heavy Armored Beast’s back.
“What is that? It’s so fast,” murmured the Heavy Armored Beast, surprised.
Since the Heavy Armored Beast had entered the water, it had eaten no less than
200 ordinary mutated fishes, but it had never encountered one with such speed.
Even the one that had left a white mark on the Heavy Armored Beast’s belly couldn’t compare.
Biu!
Just as Jack Clark was startled, the black shadow flashed past the Heavy Armored Beast’s left side again. Due to the depth of the water and the distance of more than ten meters, the exact appearance could not be clearly seen.
But it was evident that the mutated fish had set its sights on the Heavy Armored Beast.
Now, the behavior of this mutated fish should be observing the Heavy Armored Beast and looking for the right opportunity to attack.
Since you’re showing up at my doorstep, I won’t be polite: The Heavy Armored Beast’s tail moved, and its heavy body slowly swam forward, seemingly unaware of the mutated fish.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind the Heavy Armored Beast and appeared beside it with terrifying speed. The sharp-toothed jaws bit down viciously on the Heavy Armored Beast’s tail.
Because the speed was too fast, the Heavy Armored Beast didn’t react until the bite was on its tail.
Bang! The kinetic energy from the rapid movement flipped the Heavy Armored Beast over, and then…crack, a row of teeth mixed with blood slowly sank and floated in the water.
The mutated fish, which had failed to kill the Heavy Armored Beast and had its full set of sharp teeth shattered, immediately loosened its grip in pain, wanting to escape. But could it just show up and leave?
Boom!
At the moment it released its tail, water exploded; the Heavy Armored Beast suddenly twisted its body due to the full force of its muscles, and its claws struck the mutated fish.
It might not be fast in moving, but that didn’t mean its close-range attack speed was slow either.
Under the effect of Hundred-fold Power, the Heavy Armored Beast’s left paw slammed into the mutated fish’s back, crushing the fish’s body into two pieces.
The terrifying force even formed an underwater shockwave, causing violent water currents that only subsided after rushing out more than ten meters.
As its body grew, the Heavy Armored Beast, with its two talents, became even more terrifying. Its defense was invincible at the same level, and the Hundred-fold Power was horrifying, completely unmatched by its size.
Only at this point did the Heavy Armored Beast see what the mutated fish looked like.
In the blood-stained turbid river water, the two pieces of the more than two meters long, flat and long, sharp-bladed fish, covered with gray scales, slowly sank and floated.
On the back of the mutated fish, a row of dorsal fins spread out like sailboat masts. Its head was even more ferocious, resembling a sea wolf’s elongated mouth filled with sharp teeth.
However, they had been shattered by the Heavy Armored Beast’s tail.
No wonder it was so fast; just by its shape, the Heavy Armored Beast could tell that the focus of this fish’s mutation was its speed.
Unfortunately, being fast alone was useless. If its defense was too weak, it would be slapped to death as soon as the opportunity arose.
The tail flicked, and the Heavy Armored Beast moved forward and grabbed one half of the mutated fish’s body with one claw. Its jaws filled with sharp teeth bit down and tore off a large chunk of flesh to devour.
Although the flat and elongated mutated fish looked quite long, the sum of its flesh weighed only a few hundred kilograms and was soon consumed by the Heavy Armored Beast.
Not satisfied, it wreaked havoc near the estuary, only swimming towards the shore to return to its lair to rest and digest when it felt full.
In the ten meters deep river, as the Heavy Armored Beast approached the shore, something with a splash fell into the water, slowly sinking in front of it.
Looking at the palm-sized little fish, struggling with the fishhook stuck in its dorsal fin, the Heavy Armored Beast revealed surprise.
What’s going on; is someone fishing here?
Suddenly, the corner of the Heavy Armored Beast’s ferocious mouth lifted, revealing its sharp white teeth. Its sharp right claw reached out and gently grabbed the small fish to pull it up.
As the water level dropped instantly, the middle-aged man on the shore holding a fishing net excitedly shouted, “It’s here! Quick, pull it up!”
“I see it!” replied another middle-aged man holding a fishing rod, pulling hard.
Squeak, squeak!! The enormous force caused the nine-meter-long fishing rod to bend to its limit, the fishing line supporting hundreds of kilograms making squeaking noises.
“Damn, it’s so heavy; this fish must weigh at least a few hundred pounds.”
< >”Really? Are you serious?”
“Serious; I’m not lying to you. Remember, I’m a cultivator with Second Layer Heaven strength. Just one shake of my arms can lift hundreds of kilograms.””! can’t believe I can’t pull that fish up in one go, it must be huge.”
“True, hurry, I’m going to use my mobile phone to take a photo of it for you.”
“Watch me, once I exhaust that fish’s energy by tiring it out, 1 can forcefully pull it up. Today will be my brightest moment…”
On the shore, two middle-aged men who came out to relax struggled desperately to reel in their catch, but they couldn’t budge the big fish underwater.
It only made them even more excited.
Under the water, the Heavy Armored Beast lazily laid on the riverbed with its right claw holding the fishhook, letting them tug. Occasionally, when it was in a good mood, it would raise its claw and give them a little motivation.
About half an hour later, the Heavy Armored Beast, feeling it had played enough, suddenly reached out with its left claw and held down a small fish more than 20 centimeters long swimming past.
On the shore, Brian Raven suddenly felt a lightness in his hand and exclaimed excitedly, “It’s coming!” He then swung the rod forcefully upwards.
Bang! The river water splashed, and a small fish more than 20 centimeters long shot out of the water, falling onto the shore with a smack.
Looking at the struggling little fish on the grass, the bewildered expressions on Brian Raven and his friend’s faces asked ‘what happened to the huge fish I hooked?’.
For the next two days, everyone was practicing diligently.
After going through several life-and-death battles and gaining a large amount of Contribution Points to exchange for resources, this was the best time for cultivation.
Jack Clark was no exception.contemporary romance
Breaking through to the Third Layer Heaven, his efficiency in absorbing energy while practicing with Blue Crystals skyrocketed. He’s able to refine all the originally dissipating 30% energy without wasting a bit.
During these two days, apart from cultivating, the members of the group occasionally chatted, exchanging information about the enemies they encountered and combat experiences.
Upon Jack’s inquiry, it turned out that Crystal Leinster’s sisters, Matt Watkins, and Freya Louise had reserved some cultivation resources for themselves.
After continuous battles during this period and being close to death, not only Jack, but also Crystal and others’ strengths had grown tremendously.
On the morning of the third day, Jack donned his battle armor and gathered outside the hotel.
After several fiery battles, all the freshmen’s faces had lost their childish innocence and had become much more mature and resolute.
However, the styles became more eccentric.
After two days, the other classmates’ battle armor had changed. Some followed Zac Lyon’s example and painted theirs gold, while others added wings like the White Veil.
But the wings weren’t Angel Wings; they were the kind that draped over half the body and could be folded, like a Sky Set.
Besides those, some added black cloaks to their heavy battle armor, which looked quite dashing as well.
Even Howard Lee, the thick-browed, big-eyed guy, not only reinforced the entire armor but also welded four horns from the Mutated Black Bull onto the shoulders and back of his battle armor.
With four curved horns each measuring over a meter long and carrying a three-meter-long pillar on his back, he resembled a formidable ancient warrior.
In such a situation, it was Jack Clark, who didn’t modify his armor, who looked relatively ordinary and out of place among his classmates.
Should 1 modify my battle armor too? Just as Jack was pondering this problem, Lori Parma and the other two teachers walked out.
Lori Parma said solemnly, “The main force of the Evil God Sect in Lester City has been annihilated, so most of the military experts and troops will be transferred to other areas to provide support.”
“What, teacher, you’re leaving?”
“What about us?” The crowd suddenly became restless, as everyone was surprised by this news.
Lori Parma spoke solemnly, “Don’t panic. Teacher Sylvia Lyons will stay here, and you have an important task.”
“According to the interrogation, there are more than ten ordinary Blood God Cultists hiding in Lester City, with the strongest person being a Triplex. Their purpose is to spread Blood Seeds.”
“As the name suggests, Blood Seed is an evil power seed that can turn ordinary people into real cultivators once absorbed.”
“Those who absorb the Blood Seed are called blood disciples and can rapidly increase their power by hunting and refining the blood essence of ordinary people.”
Zac Lyons exclaimed, “Refining blood essence… Isn’t that cannibalism!?”
Lori Parma said solemnly, “Yes, that’s the terrifying aspect of the Blood God
Sect. Many of the sect’s experts killed by the alliance earlier were Blood Envoys.”
“The Blood God Sect has been secretly infiltrating Koroya for a long time, fostering a group of Senior Blood Envoys and a large number of indoctrinated cultists by killing and refining blood essence in this barren land.”
“That’s why the Federation is ruthless towards the Evil God Sect, as these people have long gone mad.”
Lori Parma’s words made everyone’s face look very ugly and heavy.
“But you don’t have to worry. In Lester City, only ordinary Blood Seeds are being spread, and there aren’t many of them. Their growth potential is capped at the Third Layer Heaven.”
“If those Blood Seeds weren’t so difficult to distinguish from ordinary people, they would have been wiped out earlier.”
“From now on, you can act individually or in teams. Pay attention to places where murders occur, and you’ll likely discover some clues.”
“In addition, there are still some scattered remnants of the rebels in the area. You need to clean them up to prevent them from joining forces with the Evil God Sect in other cities and making a resurgence…”
Afterward, Lori Parma gave Jack and the others a few more tips before finally dismissing them..
