Chapter 610: Strange Beast

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

‘Eh? Are you sure?’ Jiang Liushi was surprised.

Generally speaking, even if a person was focusing all their attention on the motion of a hand that was writing something down, it was quite difficult for them to completely see what was written, especially from a distance. How could Daylily have known what Jiang Liushi had written down when even Ran Xiyu had to use her spiritual perception to accomplish that? It was evident that Daylily could not only sense Jiang Liushi’s movements, but she also knew what the words meant. There may even be a connection between Daylily and the two words.

“Brother Jiang, would you like to come with us to our base? In this foreign country, we can only stay in groups to intimidate any enemies,” said Jiang Cheng sincerely.

Naturally, Jiang Liushi was aware that Jiang Cheng wanted to invite them to join their camp. Undoubtedly, Jiang Cheng could tell how powerful the Shi Ying Squad was; be it from their fancy and clean clothes or how easily they could provide three mutant nuclei. For Long Teng, more strength equaled more protection.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for Jiang Liushi to stay and join Long Teng. Sooner or later they’d return to China. If Jiang Cheng knew that they had traveled from China to Japan, his eyes would certainly pop out of his head

Jiang Liushi refused politely, “I’m sorry, but we can’t come with you. If you have any news, please inform me through the radio. We’ll set code words to communicate.”

Since telephones were useless, the radio was the next best means of communication. As for the code words, it was the easiest part. All they needed was to choose a book and use a different number of lines to calibrate the position of some text.

While Jiang Liushi was discussing with Jiang Cheng, Ran Xiyu suddenly had a foreboding feeling and shouted, “Brother Jiang!”

“Uh?”

“Something is getting close to us with extremely high speed!” said Ran Xiyu nervously.

The moment Jiang Cheng’s members heard that they took out their guns. Their first thought was that the Sword Club had come after them. It was not hard to locate them as all they needed to do was follow the direction in which the Shi Ying Squad had left. However, Jiang Cheng had searched the area earlier and had not found anyone following the Shi Ying Squad.

“Where? Who?”

“Be careful!” screamed Ran Xiyu.

Suddenly, the ground underneath them swelled up, and a black figure drilled its way out of it. The monster resembled a pangolin with a big mouth, while its body was a big as a truck.

“Mutant beast!” Jiang Liushi was momentarily stunned, as he felt that the mutant beast was peculiar.

The moment the pangolin appeared, it swept with its tail everything around it. Two of Jiang Cheng’s members were unlucky as the tail cut their bodies in half. In the next instant, the torn bodies fell to the ground with geysers of blood dying the ground red.

“Oh! Sh*t!” Jiang Cheng felt his heart tighten when he saw two of his compatriots dying like that. He immediately jumped to his SUV and took out a heavy machine gun. Then, he madly fired at the mutant beast.

The heavy machine gun was spewing out a long fire snake as the hail of bullets, which could turn a reinforced concrete wall into a sieve, was hitting the mutant beast. Unfortunately, the machine gun was useless against the mutant beast; its body was forced only a few steps back before it rushed toward Jiang Cheng.

The huge pangolin slammed the SUV heavily with its front paws and turned it to scrap metal!

While that happened, Jiang Liushi received a great shock! ‘Metal!?’

Due to his brain domain, Jiang Liushi could observe the mutant beast carefully, even if it was rampaging. What surprised Jiang Liushi was that the pangolin’s claws were not like the tough bone claws one would expect a mutant beast to have, but instead they seemed to be made by a special alloy.

The heavy machine guns’ bullets were stronger, but they only could penetrate a one-centimeter steel plate. However, the pangolin’s protective scales were almost as thick as a phonebook. The bullets could not even leave a mark on them.

‘How is it possible for such a mutant beast to exist?’ Jiang Liushi felt it was unbelievable. Even if it was a mighty mutant beast, how could its body have the characteristic of metal? It was like an artificially created pangolin tank.

‘Its eyes are bright red. No, no! It’s not the time to be thinking about this…’

The moment the pangolin charged at the crowd, it started killing. One by one, Long Teng’s members were being killed.

“Get on the bus! Get on the bus!” Jiang Liushi shouted and pushed Ran Xiyu back to the tour bus.

After Ran Xiyu got on, she said, “Brother Jiang, the mutant beast was quite strange. Its spiritual energy is scattered all over its body. It’s unreasonable!”

Jiang Liushi was yet again stunned. It was a known fact that mutant beasts were like humans; they both relied on their brains to direct their bodies’ actions.

Before Jiang Liushi could think further, the pangolin had already set its sights on him and thus attacked him with its tail. On its blood-stained tail were three sharp spikes, which were also made of steel.

Jiang Liushi jumped in the air and avoided the attack swiftly. The pangolin’s tail split the ground like it was made of tofu, and huge chunks of stone were shot everywhere, leading the slave girls to scream in fear.

Jiang Liushi looked at the huge pangolin while he was still in mid-air and almost gaped. Its body seemed to have fused with metal!

Suddenly Ran Xiyu’s voice sounded in Jiang Liushi’s mind. ‘Brother Jiang! Spiritual thread! I can see a spiritual threat connected to it… it may be under someone’s control!’

‘Eh? The pangolin is under someone’s control!? Who has such a great ability to catch, transform, and control another lifeform?’ Jiang Liushi was not only wary of the pangolin now, but also the people controlling it.

At that moment, the pangolin jumped, targeting the slave girls. Its scarlet eyes were fixed on one of the girls – Daylily!

Jiang Liushi held his breath. ‘She is its target all along!’ Although Jiang Liushi knew nothing about Daylily and couldn’t figure out her power, he was sure that she was related with Genesis and the Weapon.

Naturally, Jiang Liushi would not let the pangolin kill her!

Jiang Liushi exploded with power, shattering the rocks under his feet, and jumped in the air. Currently, the huge pangolin was descending from its jump, while Jiang Liushi that had just jumped was facing its bottom head on!

Everyone watched at the scene with halted breaths! Before they could even process what was happening, Jiang Liushi and the mutant pangolin collided!

Jiang Liushi roared, and his muscles bulged, while his blue veins almost pooped out of his skin and intertwined like a dragonfly’s wings. Above his hands, two clusters of blue light glowed like blue suns! The Sprite Queen’s power had now become Jiang Liushi’s power.

“Bang!”

An explosive sound reverberated throughout the whole area, and even gusts of wind were generated!

Jiang Liushi struck the pangolins’ abdomen like a meteor and continued punching it until he slammed it to the ground. The giant mutant pangolin, which was nearly 10 meters long, was lying on the ground like a shrimp before Jiang Liushi. The latter continued smashing it to the ground until he sent it flying again.

The pangolin’s body smashed four SUV’s and destroyed two concrete walls before it finally came to a stop. The mutant beast was in a sorry state as its abdomen was bleeding and most of its scales were shattered. Unexpectedly, it still got up, but with great difficulty.

The pangolin’s bloodshot eyes were fixed on Jiang Liushi.

Time seemed to have stopped. Everyone was holding their breath and staring at Jiang Liushi. They unconsciously opened their mouths, unable to close them for a long time.

As for Jiang Cheng, he was flabbergasted. Although he expected Jiang Liushi to be powerful, it was not to that unfathomable extent. In his mind, Jiang Liushi was like a mutant beast that had evolved to the point its body had transformed to one of a human’s.

Jiang Liushi looked at his fists. After the blue clusters of light disappeared, his fists started to hurt faintly, and a few droplets of blood flowed from them. Despite that, he was feeling great! That inexplicable feeling of beating down an opponent could not be obtained by shooting.
