Chapter 122: Terrifying Fourth-Level Mutant Beast!

That obsidian-like giant python, with a pair of blood-red lantern-like vertical pupils, locked onto Lin Yue.

Since it gained consciousness, it has been the absolute ruler of this chemical industrial park.

Even the previous reckless poisonous spider mother, upon sensing its aura, dared only to move in the outskirts, never stepping even half a step into the core.

But today, this puny human, as insignificant as an insect, actually dared to bring a group of his kind into its sleeping ground!

It's practically suicide!

"City Lord... be careful!"

"What... what kind of monster is this?!"

Han Ya and the members of the Heaven's Punishment Squad, under this terrifying pressure, turned deathly pale, finding breathing extremely difficult.

Although they had all been injected with super-soldier serum, giving them physiques far beyond ordinary people, they were facing a fourth-level mutant beast!

Previously, with Black Tortoise's protection, they had no intuitive grasp of how powerful a fourth-level mutant beast could be.

But now, when they directly confronted this giant python, they truly understood what an oppressive, despair-inducing feeling it was.

Before this giant beast, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

"Is this... a fourth-level mutant beast?"

Maniu dropped to his knees, his sandbag-sized fists clenched tight, nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain, his heart filled only with endless fear and shock.

"We... we aren't even qualified to be its opponent..."

However, just as the Heaven's Punishment Squad's minds were about to be completely shattered by this terrifying pressure, a figure stepped in front of them.

It was Lin Yue.

He still wore his usual calm, carefree demeanor, as if the terrifying pressure capable of collapsing mountain peaks meant nothing to him.

"All of you, fall back."

Lin Yue's voice was not loud, yet it rang clearly in each teammate's ear, simultaneously dispelling the fear in their hearts.

"Here, leave it to me."

"Yes... City Lord!"

Han Ya gritted her teeth and was the first to struggle to her feet from the ground.

She took a deep look at Lin Yue's back, then without hesitation led all the teammates to retreat as fast as possible.

She knew that a battle of this level was far beyond their ability to intervene.

Staying here would not only be useless, but would become a burden to Lin Yue.

Seeing those "little bugs" retreat, a flicker of contempt flashed in the giant python's blood-red vertical pupils, and it immediately focused all its attention on the only one still daring to stand before it—Lin Yue.

"Hiss—!"

The giant python emitted a sharp hiss, its massive body lunging forward!

The next second, its black tail, several times thicker than a train, swept toward Lin Yue like a black lightning bolt!

This strike was extreme in speed and extreme in ferocity!

Wherever the tail passed, whether hard alloy reaction tanks or ruined steel-reinforced concrete buildings, they were instantly pulverized into sky-filling dust!

"Not good!"

"City Lord, dodge quickly!"

In the distance, the Heaven's Punishment Squad, having retreated to a safe distance, saw this heaven-earth-destroying strike, and each of their hearts leapt to their throats.

However, faced with a strike capable of flattening a small hill, Lin Yue seemed stunned, standing still in place.

"Boam——!!!!!"

The black tail struck Lin Yue squarely!

The terrifying impact instantly blasted a huge pit over fifty meters in diameter beneath his feet!

The violent shockwave spread like a Category 12 hurricane, flinging and tearing apart everything around!

"City Lord!"

Han Ya, heedless of everything, wanted to rush forward.

But the next second, her charging figure froze in place.

Only in the center of the smoke-filled pit did a figure remain standing upright.

Unscathed.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Maniu's eyes nearly popped out; he rubbed them hard, thinking he was hallucinating,

"He... he actually blocked a fourth-level mutant beast's strike head-on and... came out unscathed?!"

This scene completely overturned their notion of 'strength'.

"Hiss?"

The giant python also froze.

Its not-so-high intelligence could not comprehend what was happening before it.

Its own strike, capable of splitting mountains and shattering stone, couldn't even scratch the skin of this 'little bug'?

After a brief moment of bewilderment, endless rage instantly overwhelmed its reason!

"Roar——!!!!!"

The giant python raised its head and let out a frenzied roar; the obsidian-like scales on its massive body all stood on end, flashing with an eerie light that made the heart pound!

It intended to tear the daring 'little bug' that had toyed with it into pieces!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The next second, an even more violent attack poured down like rain!

The giant tail swept horizontally!

A fierce head-butt!

It even opened its blood‑filled maw wide enough to swallow a heavy truck, spewing out large swaths of dark‑green deadly venom!

In an instant, the entire chemical industrial park seemed to have welcomed the apocalypse.

The earth wailed, space trembled!

Lin Yue's figure kept dodging and weaving amidst this series of heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying attacks.

He no longer chose to brute‑force it.

It's not that he couldn't withstand it.

With his current defensive power at one‑hundredth of a level‑5 Black Tortoise, let alone this level‑4 giant python, even if ten more came, they couldn't even scratch him.

The reason he dodged was because he realized the aftermath of this battle was simply too terrifying.

Merely the shockwaves from a few collisions flattened all buildings within several kilometers.

If this continues, not only Han Ya and the others, but even the entire chemical industrial park would be completely wiped off the map.

Then what the hell is he still looking for the original toxin strain for?

"Beast, come chase me!"

Lin Yue flicked his body, dodged a deadly spray of venom, then hooked his finger at the giant python that had completely gone mad, flashing a provocative smile.

Having said that, he no longer lingered; pushing off hard with his feet, he shot like an arrow toward a desolate ruin.

"Roar!"

Seeing this, the giant python could no longer hold back; its massive body swung, kicking up a great cloud of dust, and it madly gave chase.

A heart‑pounding chase thus began!

"Go! Keep up!"

Han Ya in the distance, seeing this, immediately issued an order.

She knew the City Lord was deliberately luring that giant python away to create conditions for them to find the original toxin strain.

But she really wanted to witness with her own eyes how this battle, which could be called mythic, would end.

Thus Han Ya defied Lin Yue's orders for the first time.
