Looking at Justin Welan who was limping towards him with a heavy shield, Jack Clark asked with concern, “Mr. Willard, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I just landed awkwardly just now. A little circulation of Qi Blood will fix it,” Justin Welan said excitedly.
“I didn’t expect that before reaching the Second Grade, we have already killed a Level 3 Mutant Beast.”
Zac Lyons, who came over, touched the corpse of the black bull and exclaimed with the tough feeling transmitted to his hand, “These Mutated Creatures are too gifted. Just a mutated black bull is this powerful.”
Doris Raven, who was a little upset after being swiped away, lamented: “Compared to us human cultivators, these Mutated Beasts have too many advantages.”
“Incredible strength, thick skin, and meat, along with that kind of talent ability similar to a superpower.”
“In comparison, aside from being more agile, we humans can’t compete in any aspect. If we hadn’t figured out True Martial Arts, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Howard Lee said solemnly, “Because of this, for decades, the officials have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up these Mutated Beasts to curb their growth.”
Jack Clark also nodded with a sigh, “Correct, if we let these Mutated Beasts continue to grow, they will become more and more dangerous for mankind.”
Since even a mutated black bull is so powerful, if those tigers and explosive bears mutate, their strength will be even more terrifying.
If it wasn’t for True Martial Arts and various weapons, humans would be no match for these Mutated Beasts of the same level.
But while humans can suppress Mutated Beasts on land, what about those giant creatures under the deep sea? Thinking about this, Jack Clark faintly felt a sense of unease.
At this moment, Justin Welan suddenly said, “You contributed the most to this Mutated Beast, Jack. If we hadn’t cut off its hind legs, we would have been helpless.”
“I think you should get 60%, and each of us four should get 10%. What do you all think?” He, being a close friend, considered Jack’s benefits first.
Upon hearing this, Zac Lyons and Doris Raven, who were also part of the small team, nodded in agreement.
They indeed didn’t contribute much, so they didn’t object to this distribution.
“This distribution is fair.” Howard Lee also had no objections.
“This… isn’t this a little too much?” Jack hesitated. He originally intended to take 40% as his share, especially since Justin Welan had been knocked off twice.
Justin Welan didn’t care and said, “What’s there to fight for over a Level 3 Mutant Beast? If we exchange it with the school, we’ll earn just 20 Contribution Points.”
“Speaking of which, I have a suggestion.”
Howard Lee looked at the four of them: “This Mutated Beast is useful all over. Be it its skin tough as alloy, nourishing meat, or the four horns and bones.”
“If we put these on the market for sale, at least we’d get a selling price of five hundred thousand.”
“Five hundred thousand, such a big difference.” Jack was somewhat surprised.
20 Contribution Points, with each point in the Black Market ranging between three to five thousand, which is only about one to two hundred thousand. There’s not much to say about the official price, one point is about a thousand, the difference is more than twenty times.
Zac Lyons bitterly smiled, “Can’t help it, Contribution Points can be exchanged for resources, simply put, its actual value is already very high.”
“But what Howard Lee is saying is right. This kind of mutated beef is priced higher in the market, the powder from grounding the Cow Bone is a favorite of some rich people. It strengthens the bone when eaten.”
“Even the cow skin is a good thing, it can produce high-end luxury goods or special armor, the overall value indeed exceeds five hundred thousand.”
Howard Lee continued to say, “Today everyone has made quite a bit of contribution, it doesn’t matter if we get a few more or less. So, I was thinking, based on the market price, I want to buy this Mutated Black Bull with money.” “I wonder if everyone could give me a favor?”
Zac Lyons looked at Howard Lee, seemingly thoughtful, “If I remember correctly, you practice the Advanced Skill Ox Devil Mountain-Shaking Formula, don’t you? You want to purify the Essence Blood of this Mutated Beast.”
“Correct.”
Howard Lee generously admitted, “The Essence Blood of this Bovine Mutant Beast benefits my cultivation method greatly. After using it, it would produce better results than ordinary resources.”
“Since that’s the case, I have no objections.”
Doris Raven shrugged, “I don’t mind either.”
Under the circumstance of getting 10%, they will have 2 Contribution Points. If they exchange it for money, they will get fifty thousand. Even though they can’t convert this money into Contribution Points, it can be useful in other ways.
Howard Lee had given him face just now, so Justin Welan naturally had no objections, especially since they made good gains today.
As for Jack Clark, he nodded after a moment of contemplation.
Three hundred thousand is a significant income for his family, so Doris Raven won’t have to work overtime every day then.
Because both of her sons are studying, especially one who is in high school Cultivating True Martial Arts, Doris Raven has been working overtime voluntarily to earn more money recently.Even on weekends, he’d come to work, despite Jack Clark’s attempts to discourage him. But to no avail.
After divvying up the Mutated Beast, there were faint sounds of footsteps in the distance. It seemed the main group had finally caught up. This meant the evening’s battle was almost over.
Consequently, Jack had no further plans to continue the search. He looked at Justin Welan and asked curiously, “So, how did you guys fare tonight? Did you encounter many rebel cultivators?”
At this, a grin spread across everyone’s faces.
Justin gave a sly laugh, “We were quite lucky, actually. On our way, we encountered three Triplex Cultivators crippled by aerial bombs.”
“Aside from them, we found some scattered rebels mixed with First and Second Layer Heaven cultivators. After taking them down, each of us earned roughly 20 contribution points tonight.”
For each individual to have gained 20 Contribution Points, their haul was pretty impressive.
“How did you guys get so lucky?”
Jack couldn’t help but scoff, “I was up front and could only find one heavily injured Triplex. There were a few Second Layer cultivators, but the rest were all from the ranks of the First Layer Heaven Rebels.”
Despite this, he had scored the most tonight. He estimated his contribution points to fall within about 35 or so.
Justin chuckled, “That’s just luck. Who asked you to choose that central path up the mountain?”
“After the concentrated bombing, even the stupidest rebels would realize they’ve been exposed. The survivors would definitely choose to retreat down the sides of the mountain.”
Jack shook his head, “All I wanted to do was to pick up the leftovers from our teachers. If I could find a Fourth Layer Heaven that they’d heavily injured, it would be a windfall.”
“Who knew I’d only encounter ordinary First and Second Layer Heaven cultivators all the way.”
Initially, Jack had advised Justin not to go too far ahead, but after the bombing, it was he who surged to the front. It was all to scavenge for spoils.
While caution was generally good, it was essential to evaluate each situation differently.
While they were talking amongst themselves, shadows of soldiers gradually appeared on the distant hillsides.
Soon, other classmates also gathered. They were all astonished to see a Mutated Beast that was even larger than an elephant had been slain by Jack’s group.
Half an hour later, accompanied by the somewhat bedraggled but exalted Lori Parma and the others, the night’s battle finally concluded.
In this battle, more than fifteen hundred enemies had been killed, essentially wiping out the rebels in Lester City and the main force of the fleeing Evil God Sect, including even a high-level Archbishop.
Also among them, there were a few fanatics from the Fourth and Fifth Layer Heaven.
Of course, the majority of these individuals had been wiped out by that one strike that had leveled heaven and earth. The few that were heavily injured were found and executed by Lori Parma and the others.
Unlike them, Jack and his group had only dealt with the smaller fries; even so, a few individuals who recklessly charged forward ended up injured.
Under the gushing river water, a fierce aura enveloped the heavily-armored black Mutated Beast. Its cold eyes were locked onto the seven-meter-long sea python ahead.
Back at the hotel, Jack couldn’t sleep, his mind still buzzing with excitement. As a result, he mostly focused on the heavy armored beast.
Unexpectedly, just as he had emerged from the riverbed mud, he had encountered this pitch-black, poisonous sea python, which had discovered him at the same time.
And considered the 2.6-meter-long heavy armored beast as its prey.
The Sea Python was fast in the river, its thick body twisting as it shot towards the heavy armored beast like a dark line, reaching it in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the black creature seemed not to react, the sea python’s eyes revealed a cold and brutal color. It enlarged its mouth to reveal four sharp teeth and bit down ruthily.
Crack! Crack!!
The oversized fangs clamped on the shoulder of the heavy armored beast, but couldn’t pierce through the black armor. The venom exuded from the hollowed-out teeth had naturally failed to seep in as well.
Faced with this, the sea python didn’t give up. Its body wrapped around the heavy armored beast in an attempt to squeeze it to death.
This was a snake’s common hunting method, but today…
The armored beast stretched out its claws and grabbed the python’s neck, pulling it off its shoulder and biting down on its head.
Bam! Under the horrifying biting force, half the head of the Sea Python was crushed by the heavy armored beast, with the dense blood immediately spreading in the water.
The body of the python whose skull had been crushed stiffened in death but wrapped around the heavy armored beast even tighter, making a screeching sound with its terrifying constriction force.
The heavy armored beast didn’t mind at all and started eating the python’s body satisfactorily.
Thanks for nature’s gift..
