NABC Chapter 33 Amphibian King
Chapter 33 Amphibian King
A surge of energy emanated from Wu Ou's body, leaving the Snow Wolves of the guard team, who were originally preparing to express their loyalty and offer their congratulations, completely bewildered.
They finally discovered that the humanoid life form emanating the aura of their kind was actually a genuine human being, not one of their kind!
They essentially watched as their leader was killed by a human without offering any help!
They had even bowed to this human, performing a gesture usually reserved for tribal leaders!
Ow—
A snow wolf with a strength of level seven was the first to howl, followed by the other guard snow wolves, and then the other ordinary snow wolves.
"Oh dear! The aura disguise disappeared when I advanced!" Wu Ou stretched his neck, looked at the angry snow wolves, and gave them a 'sincere' smile.
"I could actually become your leader, you know? But if you don't approve—then you'll just have to die!"
As he spoke, his hands were covered in armor again, and sharp claws extended from them.
Facing those snow wolves, Wu Ou was like the protagonist of a game called "mowing grass," leaving a trail of blood wherever he went, and not a single snow wolf could make him stay for more than a second.
The source energy flows through the body, and its effects on physical fitness and energy supply for superpowers are five times greater than those of the first and second levels!
Previously, to kill these source energy beasts below level one, Wu Ou needed to accurately calculate and judge their weaknesses, trying to kill them with a single blow.
It reduces both physical exertion and energy consumption.
However, with improved physical fitness, and with the help of basic eyesight and neural information processing abilities, it is now possible to achieve that.
The increased strength and speed mean that even ordinary slashes can be lethal to these source energy beasts below level one.
Swish swish swish swish!
Wu Ou was like a battlefield dancer, or a legendary master chef, his every cut precise and elegant, causing the snow wolves to either have their throats slit or their necks or limbs severed.
In less than three minutes, the original pack of over two hundred wolves had dwindled to about one hundred and fifty carcasses.
Including those killed by the guards on the convoy side, no more than twenty managed to escape.
A huge pack of snow wolves suddenly became a small pack.
Moreover, they fled in different directions, and it's uncertain how many will eventually reunite.
Packs of snow wolves may pose a threat to some herbivorous energy beasts.
However, a lone snow wolf would probably not dare to attack a herd of dozens of deer.
"Xiao Wu, Researcher Wu?!" When Commander Tian, who had gotten out of the car and ran over, saw Wu Ou standing in the middle of a pile of snow wolf carcasses, he was momentarily unable to recognize him.
Coach Li told him that Wu Ou has a certain ability to protect himself, but his current performance is no longer just a matter of "self-protection"!
In this team, who else besides Wu Ou could achieve this!
Protecting Wu Ou's safety? More like Wu Ou protecting their safety!
Are scientists this powerful now?
His gaze involuntarily fell on the metal claws on Wu Ou's hands, which were immediately noticeable.
He knew that the evolved beings' physical abilities had become stronger.
However, in his opinion, Wu Ou was more likely able to accomplish what he was doing by using those claw gloves.
This should be Wu Ou's own "invention".
"Commander Tian, I'm sorry to have worried you." Wu Ou turned around and smiled.
Seeing that Wu Ou had no wounds or bloodstains, and apart from the weapons and gloves on his hands, he gave off the impression of a researcher. Commander Tian became even more convinced of his earlier idea.
"Researcher Wu, Lao Li also told me that you have the ability to protect yourself, but I didn't believe it."
Now it seems you're quite capable!
Noticing Commander Tian's gaze, Wu Ou raised his hands, and then his claws and armor retracted back into his body.
Seeing this, Commander Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, as if he was wondering what kind of skill Jingjing possessed to do such a thing.
"Commander Tian, I've actually just received some news."
"What? Let's go back to the car and talk." Commander Tian said, gesturing for Wu Ou to get in the car first, and the remaining body disposal could be left to the other soldiers.
Although their main task is not to hunt mutated beasts for food, they can't let so many mutated beast carcasses go to waste!
Back in the car, Wu Ou finally spoke, "Commander Tian, I just got some useful information from the wolf king's memories."
It and its pack migrated from the vicinity of the eastern riverbank, merging with several small snow wolf packs along the way, which led to its current size.
Within its memory lies an extremely powerful and terrifying being.
Its figure burst forth from the river, the resulting surge of water capable of toppling trees over ten meters tall, and even slamming a nearly ten-meter-tall bear to the ground, dragging it into the water and killing it.
Although it is unknown how Wu Ou managed to obtain information from an animal.
However, based on Wu Ou's performance just now, Commander Tian still has some trust in Wu Ou as a new recruit.
"So, there's an even more powerful mutated beast lurking in the river!"
From Wu Ou's words, Commander Tian quickly grasped two key points.
First, the mutated beast's physical attributes are extremely powerful, because whether it's a tree that's over ten meters tall or a giant bear that's ten meters tall, its mass and strength are unlikely to be lacking.
Yet they were all easily destroyed and defeated by it.
Secondly, it breaks through the river's surface to attack targets near the riverbank.
Therefore, the opponent is very likely not a creature skilled in fighting on land.
"Do you have any thoughts?" he asked, looking at Wu Ou.
"I suspect that the prototype of this mutated beast is most likely a crocodile." Wu Ou stroked his chin and gave another piece of his 'reasoning'.
This made Commander Tian nod repeatedly, "Your judgment is the same as mine. After all, crocodiles were originally ferocious creatures, and it's only natural that they have become even more terrifying after mutation."
After all, even before the mutation, there were records of large crocodiles injuring people, especially in places where crocodiles were farmed.
But what he didn't know was that Wu Ou was simply using the answer to deduce the process.
Before his rebirth, one of the overlords of the river was a crocodile-like energy beast.
The remaining one is a turtle.
"Send some of this batch of meat back. We need to keep moving forward; perhaps we'll find more information over there," Commander Tian decided after a moment's thought.
Their objective will not change; they will simply add some incidental objectives.
The primary goal of the Northern Base right now is to establish a communication route with the settlement over there!
