Chapter 502: Chapter 355: Mutant Beast_2

These Extraordinary Creatures are far from brainless; each one is crafty and dangerous.

"Hunting Extraordinary Creatures in the danger zone is indeed challenging, either too perilous or too alert. If this continues, we won’t be able to complete the hunting mission of a hundred." Jiang Mingtian said.

Hu Fei said: "The Extraordinary Creatures deep in the danger zone struggle and fight for survival every day. Those not tough are long gone; those that survive are the elite. It’s different with the Fierce Beasts in the abandoned city area; they have little brains, lack training, coupled with less harsh living conditions, so they are easier to deal with."

"It’s the same with us Cultivators; within the same realm, there can be a vast difference. For instance, a cultivator in the Spiritual Realm from the Golden Academy, if put outside, could overpower those in the Soul Realm. The difference in environments means different strengths."

"Exactly, that’s the idea." Zhao Fangji nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Li Yi looked up at the sky.

If that’s the case, the best way to hunt Extraordinary Creatures would be to gain air supremacy.

However, the deep region of the danger zone is a no-fly zone for aircraft. As soon as he releases the Thunder Fighter, the chances of it being targeted are high.

Thinking it over, he dismissed the idea.

The four of them continued on for several more kilometers.

At this moment, the forest in front of them suddenly disappeared, revealing a large clearing not formed naturally but cleared by some creature on purpose. There was no undergrowth nearby, and there were traces of other creatures’ activities around.

It seemed that they had carelessly entered the lair of some kind of creature.

Without giving them much time to think,

Suddenly, their Spiritual Sense was alerted once again.

"Hmm?" Hu Fei clenched his battle saber, becoming vigilant all over.

"There’s danger."

At this moment, Li Yi had his eyes glowing, his pupils rotating, trying to capture any anomalies around him.

"I feel it too."

Jiang Mingtian held his magic sword, and under the use of the Guiding Skill, energy infused the sword, producing a sharp, green Sword Gang.

Zhao Fangji also took a deep breath, poised for battle, and said in a deep voice, "I didn’t encounter any creature here the last time I passed by. It must have appeared recently. The danger zone changes greatly, different every month, so each time I come here, I never know what dangers I will face."

However, just then, a cry like that of an eagle rang out.

No sooner had the sound arisen than the next moment, a huge shadow descended from the sky, whipping up a fierce wind, scattering sand and stones, and causing grass and trees to bend, before this massive figure pounced towards Hu Fei in front, its attack swift and savage, catching one off guard.

"So fast." Hu Fei’s pupils suddenly constricted. He instinctively swung his saber, but his battle blade was blocked by a more than one-meter long, scale-covered talon, sparking a burst of fire before he felt a terrifying force transmitting through his body.

Bang!

The air exploded, and the sound of the blast echoed.

Hu Fei’s figure was sent flying backwards, crashing through countless trees along the way, finally landing deep in the dirt somewhere.

Seeing this scene, everyone was momentarily stunned.

What a joke?

Wearing battle armor and wielding a battle saber, the double-law practicing Hu Fei was defeated in one strike?

The fierce wind continued, and the cries did not stop.

At this time, everyone could clearly see the creature’s appearance. It was covered in golden-yellow, its stature towering over six meters tall, cloaked in thick Scale Armor, with four feet like eagle talons, sharp and indestructible, its body as robust as a wild bull or a wild horse, but it had a pair of heavy wings on its back, and its head resembled an eagle with a huge beak like a bird’s.

At first glance, it looked a bit like the mythical griffin, but there were differences; they could not identify what it was.

However, judging from its demeanor, the creature should be in the Soul Realm. But the strength of such mutant beasts cannot be judged by normal standards, just like the Qingluan Eagle before, although it is in the Soul Realm, it could compete with the Thunder Fighter in speed.

"We’ve already been targeted, we must kill it to continue forward."

At this moment, Li Yi’s eyes emitted a silver light as he reached out into the air, condensing two dazzling silver Sword Gang Qi with his hands, and immediately striking at the mutant beast.

However, the silver Sword Gang Qi was instantly shattered without leaving a scratch on the mutant beast’s Scale Armor.

"Such tough Scale Armor." Li Yi’s probing strike helped establish some of the creature’s characteristics.

The yellow Scale Armor wasn’t just for show but possessed incredible defensive power.

Now, the mutant beast became violent, seeing Li Yi daring to attack it. With a flap of its wings, its gigantic body attacked instantly. It was hard to imagine such a large figure moving at such terrifying speed.

Li Yi was taken aback.

Despite unlocking his body’s full potential and dodging at the fastest pace, he was still grazed by the creature’s talon.

From just one pounce, his Protective Gang Qi was easily torn apart, sparks flying off his Transcendent metal-made armor, leaving a deep scratch. Fortunately, the Transcendent battle armor withstood the blow; otherwise, Li Yi’s chest would have been punctured, and his heart might have been gouged out.

The mutant beast’s seemingly simple attack contained the essence of combat, akin to a Martial Artist who had immersed himself in Martial Arts for years and forged through hundreds of battles.

"This beast..." Li Yi looked at the scratch on his chest, feeling terror-stricken.
