Chapter 57: Hundred-Meter Beast Corpse

~7 min read 1,295 words

The Beast King Engine itself wasn't something he could use; it was for the device on the pickup truck behind him!

The driving force of the Beast King Engine can be divided into two types: one that puts a load on the prosthetic body, and one that puts a load on the nerves.

That device is a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannon, bearing most of the Beast King Engine's driving force, while the remainder is evenly distributed among the eight of them via a certain device.

He of course set the power to the lowest for himself and those two veteran teammates.

As for why they chose these novice hackers, it's mainly because a hacker's brain is more resilient than an ordinary person's! A mature hacker's brain can handle over eight times the load of an ordinary person's! Sharing the Beast King Engine's pressure is just right!

Beside him lay five corpses in disarray; though none of them had missing limbs, their deaths were uniform in appearance.

Only sparks kept shooting from the backs of their heads, and the area behind their brains was entirely scorched.

This shows they didn't die at the hands of that giant beast!

The blood-covered man looked at the scattered corpses around him, his joy fading somewhat, as he lightly patted the two people lying on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Lao Zhao, Bu Lu, wake up, you two!"

Among the corpses, two people rubbed their heads and slowly rose.

"Boss... did we win?"

"We won! Hurry! First take out the Beast King's heart!"

Having said that, he ignored the five newcomers' corpses and walked straight toward the Beast King's corpse.

This was an aged Beast King, a weakened Beast King that had just finished its final mating in its beastly life, and also a Beast King that had let its guard down.

Various coincidences led to its death—know that at its peak, the Beast King not only possessed great strength, but its clan accompanied it in hunting; yet after the mating season, the nearby giant beasts would temporarily leave, not to mention this was a tiger Beast King.

They exerted all their strength to climb onto the Beast King, which was like a mountain, and the blades in their hands cut through its thick fur, sending flesh and blood flying.

Soon after, a tremendously huge heart was taken out by the three of them working together.

Beside the heart, a beast core the size of a head was picked up by the man.

He gazed at the beast core, intoxicated—this was his greatest reliance for slaying the guardian.

"Boss! The Beast King's heart is set!"

On the extended pickup truck, the original device had been discarded, replaced by a huge heart steaming with heat.

"Let's go."

He stored the beast core, called out to the two remaining veteran teammates to get in the vehicle; the team now had no hackers, so they could no longer track Zhang Jie and the other, thus choosing to drive toward the enclosure area, leaving several corpses behind on the spot.

On the other side of the wilderness, a straight road stretched into the distance, and on it a modified RV swayed left and right.

"Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!!!"

"Old... teacher! Which one is the brake!"

"The middle one! The middle one!"

"Bang!"

Weiniya stomped the accelerator, and the RV slammed into the tree by the roadside; fortunately the modified vehicle's quality was still decent, so it didn't suffer major damage.

Originally, after the two escaped danger, they planned to find a place to hunt giant beasts, but Weiniya insisted on trying to drive.

There was no way—his own little disciple had said that, so as a teacher, Zhang Jie would be impolite not to teach.

Afterwards, after giving her a thorough lesson, Weiniya took the pitiful RV out on the road...

Thus, Weiniya drove wildly, stomping the accelerator and jerking the steering wheel, nearly making Zhang Jie vomit from being shaken.

And yet, despite being a road killer, Weiniya struggled with stopping, ultimately leading to this scene.

Only see Weiniya cosplaying as a quail, being pulled out by Zhang Jie grabbing her collar.

He really had just almost been scared to death!

Zhang Jie swore that he had never felt so close to King Yama from childhood to adulthood, not even those ten minutes spent soaking in pig's blood!

Zhang Jie swore that from childhood to adulthood he had never felt as close to King Yama as he did then, not even those ten minutes spent soaking in pig blood!

Weiniya weakly spoke up; Zhang Jie saw her acting cute and careless, his expression shifting like a comic panel over a dozen times, finally resigning himself to letting go.

Reason ultimately suppressed his urge to give Weiniya a thrashing.

"From now on, you're not allowed to drive!"

"Oh..."

Weiniya said weakly, and just then Zhang Jie suddenly smelled a strong scent of blood.

This blood scent didn't give a strong fishy feeling; rather, it was a fishy taste mixed with a hint of sweetness, seemingly also carrying a faint pressure.

Zhang Jie looked left and right, finally discovering a string of something similar to red on the not‑far‑away road.

He walked forward, full of doubt, with Weiniya following closely behind.

Zhang Jie came to the middle of the road, looking at the line of blood ahead, and lightly sniffed it.

"This string of blood is the source...."

A strange attraction came over him; Zhang Jie stroked his chin, thought it over, and finally tried to touch the blood with his hand.

Instantly, a surge of qi and blood rushed into Zhang Jie's body again—this time even more violent than when he had previously absorbed beast blood!

The intense pain returned, but this time it came and went quickly, and the pain soon faded.

"What is this, teacher?"

"It's beast blood."

Zhang Jie judged the liquid's composition based on his own personal experience.

"And it's extremely powerful beast blood."

Looking into the distance, the beast blood stretched along the road with no end in sight.

Zhang Jie thought carefully for a moment, then concluded.

"If my guess isn't wrong, it's probably the trace left by a hunting team transporting after hunting giant beasts."

If my guess is correct, it's probably traces left after a hunting team transported a giant beast they hunted.

"Huh?"

Weiniya looked curiously at a beast blood that Zhang Jie had already absorbed, and she raised her head to look around.

"Then let's go take a look, okay, Teacher?"

"If we go now..... we'll probably come up empty-handed."

"That's fine too."

Weiniya laughed and said to Zhang Jie.

"Anyway, we came out just to travel, so taking a look won't be any trouble."

"Besides, Teacher, you said this is blood left by a very powerful giant beast; what if we manage to scoop some up if we go?"

Listening to Weiniya's suggestion, Zhang Jie thought for a moment, decided to go, anyway it wouldn't be any trouble.

Finally Zhang Jie took out the holographic satellite map he had bought in advance, confirmed the location of the wall area, and then drove with Weiniya in the opposite direction.

Along the way, Zhang Jie drove, while Weiniya stared at the bloodstain on the ground, speeding along.

Finally, after more than half an hour, the bloodstain on the road suddenly turned, spreading into the forest.

Finally, the RV slowly entered the edge of a forest, and what came into view was a huge white beast body over a hundred meters tall.

And the beast blood gushing out from the broken neck had already stained the nearby pond thick and bright red.

(All you adoptive fathers, the ending of the second simulation has been finalized.)
