Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 85: The Brother of the Armored Beast

In the office, the newly promoted Senior Colonel Zhang Hong praised the students. "These new recruits are good. They thought of going to the Law Enforcement Bureau right away."

Opposite him, Liu Feixu shook her head. "You can only catch fools with this method. After today, the remaining cultists will go to greater lengths to hide their tracks. We won’t know how long it will take to dig out all these rats."

Zhang Hong sighed. "There's no way around that. The technology level here is too low, and everything is still in chaos. There’s a limit to how quickly they can investigate any leads.

"At the very least, these are just ordinary Blood Seeds. Even if they’re allowed to grow for a month or two, they won’t cause much trouble, and we can use them to hone this new generation of cultivators according to the plan. So many Seeds had been brought into Kyrola; even if most of them are low-level, the gain from using them will be significant, especially after they’re cleansed of the Blood Cultists’ influence."

Liu Feixu nodded. "You guys take your time. By the way, have you heard that another school will be sending people over in a few days?"

Zhang Hong nodded as well. "Yes, these new recruits are from two second-rate high schools, and they will also join the operation to track down the Blood Cultists. I'm just afraid that there won't be enough cultists for them to kill by then."

Walking through dirty and messy alleys, Chen Chu suddenly stopped.

Just ahead, two tanned young men were repairing a tricycle inside a low, ungated courtyard. When they saw Chen Chu and his group, the two men's faces showed formality and respect, and they smiled apologetically. "Is there anything we can help you with, officer?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask how you want to die?" With that, Chen Chu slowly drew his long saber from behind his back, and a heavy oppressive aura emanated from him. Both of the men’s expressions immediately changed.

"Not good, run!" A strong bloody aura erupted from the two men... but their power level was only at the First Heavenly Realm, disappointing Chen Chu a little. They were too weak.

Boom!

Before anyone could do anything else, the side building shook as one of the walls collapsed.

"I'll leave these two to you." With that, Chen Chu stomped on the ground, and his burly figure suddenly moved like a black shadow, smashing into the wall in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Chen Chu directly smashed through both walls, leaving behind two large holes and sending rubble and dust flying everywhere as he disappeared.

With his shield in hand, Xia Youhui slowly approached the two cultists, a heavy and majestic aura emanating from him. He said in a deep voice, "How many people have you killed since you obtained the Blood Seeds?"

Both mens’ eyes unconsciously turned red. Even though Xia Youhui's imposing manner was intimidating, they showed no fear at all, simply sneering, "Not many, just five."

"Five lives, just to break through to the First Heavenly Realm. You really deserve to die."

As he spoke, Xia Youhui's aura burst, and he charged forward like a Black Tortoise with armored scales, his speed three times faster than usual as he executed the Black Tortoise Earthly Art’s second stage killer move, Black Tortoise Furious Waves.

Knowing that they couldn't escape, the two Blood Cultists' faces showed fanaticism. They shouted loudly, "Death is just returning to the embrace of the Supreme Akunus. Join us, and we can all burn together!"

In an instant, a faint blood light ignited on their bodies, and their evil auras suddenly doubled as they rushed towards Xia Youhui.

Boom! Boom!

The three of them collided in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the two Blood Cultists exploded, flesh and blood splattering everywhere. The impact of the explosion pushed even Xia Youhui backwards.

Looking at the ground covered with amputated limbs and carcass fragments, Xia Youhui's face turned ugly. "Madmen."

While he easily dealt with the two Blood Cultists, Chen Chu was also chasing down the one fleeing through a dirty alley.

Watching as the gaunt woman in a coarse robe stopped, Chen Chu slowly said, "Are you going to come quietly, or do I break your limbs and take you with me?"

In the past, he would have just killed the cultists directly. But today, Chen Chu planned to capture one alive and hand them over to Liu Feixu or a skilled military expert, to see if they could get any other useful clues.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the woman's face went mad. "You Federal lapdogs! One day the great Akunus will bring about the apocalypse to cleanse this world!"

"For the great Akunus..." As she spoke, she erupted with the aura of the peak Second Heavenly Realm, her right hand delving deep into her robe...

Boom!

At this moment, there was a loud gust of wind. Chen Chu erupted with terrifying speed, smashing through the air. His blade flashed like lightning, almost instantly passing through her body.

It so fast that the woman didn't even have time to react. A red line slowly spread from her forehead.

Bang!

Hot blood mixed with flesh gushed out, and her body fell to the ground in two halves.

Chen Chu slowly sheathed his blade, his gaze icy. "Indeed, a bunch of lunatics. They had already planted explosives here, and were ready to die together."

When he entered the alley, Chen Chu had keenly sensed the surrounding dangerous aura. He had spoken out to distract the cultist while observing her expression and body movements, so as not to give her a chance to press the detonator.

When he returned to the courtyard, the law enforcement team members who had been notified had arrived. The clean-up was left to them to handle. Chen Chu looked at Xia Youhui and asked, "Any leads?"

Xia Youhui shook his head. "No, everything was normal inside the house, and we didn't find any clues about other cultists. These guys are seeking death at the drop of a hat. They seem normal on the surface, but their minds are already insane. It’s like their existence is just to create chaos."

Chen Chu suggested, "Let's talk back at the base."

The two rode off in the law enforcement division’s off-road vehicle, and it was already noon when they arrived.

On the third floor, in the cafeteria, Chen Chu, who had just sat down and taken a few bites of the food, suddenly paused.

Twenty meters deep under the dim river, a seven-meter-long mutated crocodile covered in black scales was crouched on all fours, its eyes coldly looking ahead.

The armored beast, lying down, was surprised at the mutated crocodile in front of it.

The same dark scales, the same four sharp claws, the ferocious big mouth, the sturdy body and tail.

Except for the head and the pairs of feather horns being slightly different, the two looked like they had mutated from the same species.

For as long as it had been in the wild by now, it was the first time the armored beast had seen a mutated creature similar to itself, even if this was a crocodile.

Roar!

The armored beast slightly opened its mouth, emitting a low roar as a greeting.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

In contrast to the beast’s friendliness, the mutated crocodile was much less polite, making gurgling vibrations in its mouth as it slowly approached with ill intentions.

Seeing this, the armored beast’s gaze turned cold.

Roar!

The armored beast let out a final low roar of warning.

At the same time, the crocodile had already approached within five meters of the beast, eyeing it up as prey. Its massive body suddenly pounced.

It was asking to die.

Watching the crocodile pounce toward it in the blink of an eye, the muscles of the armored beast's right forelimb swelled.

Bang!

The river water exploded, and the seven-meter-long crocodile was slapped away by the armored beast. Its huge body rolled continuously on the muddy riverbed, its head covered in bloody flesh, as it suddenly found itself contemplating its life...
