Chapter 448: The mutated monster that came out of its shell
Translator: 549690339
In the wilderness covered in thick snow, it was so quiet that it was scary.
It was as if the blizzard had wiped out all the living beings in the Wildlands, turning the place into a land of death.
The dark blue light that filled the Wildlands made the strange atmosphere even more intense.
An area a thousand miles away from Holy Dragon City was once the territory of a giant ape monster with four arms. However, with the arrival of the Cold Moon disaster, these monsters seemed to have disappeared.
However, if one were to enter this area, one would discover that this was not the case.
The monsters that occupied this place did not disappear. Instead, they turned into huge snowballs, standing in the middle of the jagged rocks.
The runes on the snowball flickered rhythmically as if it was breathing. At the same time, it was absorbing the invisible and untouchable energy between heaven and earth.
The blue runes on the snowballs had become brighter and brighter, and the frequency at which they flickered was getting faster and faster.
“Ka-Chak, ka-Chak!”
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of tearing. On one of the biggest snowballs, a crack appeared. In this silent environment, it was extremely clear and ear-piercing.
At the same time, the blue runes on the shattered snowball burst out with a piercing blue light, dyeing everything around it.
“Bang!”
After a muffled sound, the huge snowball suddenly shattered, stirring up snow powder all over the sky.
After the snow powder dissipated, a giant monster covered in blue light gradually appeared.
This monster was the four-armed giant ape that had occupied this place. However, its appearance had changed greatly, and it was now emitting a trace of a mysterious aura.
Its body seemed to have increased in size out of thin air, and strange fluorescent runes covered the surface of its body, constantly flashing as it breathed.
On the surface of its huge body, a thick layer of Sparkling Ice shell appeared. On its originally ferocious head, two sharp ice horns that were half a meter long grew!
His blue eyes were filled with ferocity as he scanned his surroundings.
“Owwuuu!”
With a furious roar, the blue mist surrounding the four-armed giant ape was all sucked into its mouth.
After all the blue mist had been absorbed, the four-armed giant ape’s aura had increased by an entire level!
The level 5 four-armed giant ape had now completely become a Lord-tier monster!
Its roar seemed to be a signal that caused all the snowballs around it to change.
These snowballs began to explode one after another. In the snow powder that filled the sky, one after another, four-armed giant apes appeared from the snowballs, letting out violent roars.
These four-armed giant apes had all changed in appearance, becoming more powerful and brutal.
When all the four-armed giant apes broke out of their shells, they were led by their most powerful leader to run around in the wilderness and capture the surviving creatures.
After catching these creatures, he bit them to death but did not devour them. Instead, he dragged the corpses and quickly pounced in the direction of the nearby buildings.
Similar scenes kept happening in the Wildlands. The earth-shaking howls of monsters and the cries of the creatures that were chased away by the monsters could be heard everywhere.
After a short period of peace, the Savage Land once again fell into a disaster, and it was getting worse and worse!
Countless living beings began to flee in all directions, and monsters began to gather near the buildings of all sizes, surrounding them.
However, after these brutal monsters gathered together, they only surrounded them but did not attack. It was as if they were waiting for something?
The same scene appeared near the Holy Dragon City. More and more monsters began to appear outside the Holy Dragon City. The number of monsters gathered was also increasing!
After realizing that the ice Imps had finally made their move, the Holy Dragon City immediately entered a state of high alert. At the same time, they sent out a large number of sniper cultivators to shoot at the monsters near the city walls!
In a short period of time, a large number of mutated monsters were shot and killed, and their bodies piled up like a mountain.
The brain of a mutated monster of the same level was ten times the size of a normal monster’s brain. The reason was that these monsters had devoured and absorbed countless amounts of energy during their gestation period!
In the eyes of a Holy master, the value of these mutated brain beads was even greater. The best of them could be made into a staff and increase the power of their divine spells.
Killing these mutated monsters had given Holy Dragon City a great harvest.
The foreign cultivators also began to leave the Holy Dragon City one after another. They tried to kill these mutated monsters and judge their characteristics and combat power. At the same time, they collected these mutated brains.
However, compared to the Holy Dragon city’s clean and efficient killing speed, these foreign cultivators ‘killing efficiency was pitifully low!
They were extremely envious of the weapons used by the Holy Dragon City cultivators. Unfortunately, no matter what price they offered, the Holy Dragon City had no intention of selling these firearms.
However, with the emergence of mutated monsters, single-barrel shotguns and single-shot pistols began to be sold in the weapon stores in the commercial district, but the prices were very expensive.
This type of hunting rifle could only fire one bullet at a time, and it needed to be reloaded after firing. It was far less efficient than the standard weapons used in Holy Dragon City.
The only thing worthy of praise was the destructive power of this weapon. If it hit a vital point, even a level three monster could be killed with one blow!
However, the accuracy of the gun was not something to be complimented.
Beyond 30 meters, the bullet point of this gun was the size of a human head, so no one dared to look at it directly.
But even so, the supply of this type of hunting rifle was still in short supply, and they would run out of stock every day!
Many foreign cultivators began to use this gun, and it became a trend.
This kind of gun was not only practical, but it also gave him face, which indirectly proved that he had a lot of money.
There were even some mercenary groups that imitated the snipers in Holy Dragon City and specially trained a gunner in the team to be responsible for assisting in the battle. After actual combat testing, the effect was very good!
Under this influence, more and more foreign cultivator teams began to try to train professional Gunners and purchase a large number of bullets for their training.
All of a sudden, the sound of gunfire outside Holy Dragon City was endless, and more and more mutated monsters were killed!
In order to deal with the increasing number of mutated monsters in the wilderness, the Holy Dragon City no longer held onto the good stuff like usual. Instead, they began to release some low-end weapons one after another, using the foreign cultivators to hunt!
However, it was impossible to kill all the mutated monsters. As time passed, the number of monsters gathered around Holy Dragon City increased.
Through the map view, one could see that the wilderness around the Holy Dragon City was now full of the silhouettes of those mutated monsters, like locusts crossing the border.
From time to time, he could see the corpses of living creatures dragged by the monsters. They were all frozen into blocks of ice and piled up together after being hit by the mutated monsters.
In just a few days ‘time, the corpses that had piled up together had formed a ” mountain ” that made people shudder.
Tang Zhen made a rough estimate and confirmed that the number of creatures from various races that had been killed by the monster had already exceeded fifty thousand!
Perhaps all the Wanderers within a thousand miles had been killed by these mutated monsters, and their corpses were being dragged here one after another.
Now that the wilderness had become a dead land, perhaps the only place where there were living beings were those buildings of all sizes!
The scene in front of him had already confirmed Tang Zhen’s suspicion. It would not be long before the ice Imp tribe descended and started to attack the various towers.
And these mutated monsters in the wilderness were likely to be cheap cannon fodder that they could recycle!
