A trace of disdain flashed across Scarface's face, but he still extended his large hands and pulled the two youths back as if they were little chicks. At the same time, he took out a gas mask and placed it over his head.
The two youths were Lu Zhan Tian and Adams. At this moment, they suddenly came to their senses and were overwhelmed with shock.
Scarface and the others had also put on gas masks. The man carrying the large metal bag placed the equipment on the ground and began to adjust it.
The feeling of being lured caused Lu Zhan Tian and Adams to feel a chill run down their backs. Feeling a lingering fear, Lu Zhan Tian forced himself to remain calm and said, "I didn't see the monster you were talking about? There shouldn't be any problems, right? "
"No one has ever dared to question our abilities," Scarface coldly said. "As long as there's no problem with the signal source you provided, I guarantee that they won't live past the third day. It doesn't matter if they die at the hands of that monster or me. All you need to do is prepare the remaining commission and watch with your eyes wide open!"
Lu Zhan Tian composed himself and regained some of his composure. "Haha, I naturally believe in Three-Eyed Scorpion's gold-lettered reputation. I've already prepared the remaining payment. As long as everything goes smoothly, I'll personally add another five thousand and thirty cans of food … … the signal source shouldn't have any problems. When they first set off, my people over there sent it over via skylink. I've already confirmed it repeatedly."
Scarface's third eye, which looked like a sarcoma-like tumor, trembled. He nodded and walked to the side of the strong man who was adjusting the instrument. He quickly typed on the instrument with both hands, and soon, a circle of scanning ripples appeared on the black screen. Then, five red dots confirmed. The whole screen changed, and the scan image of the entire C-class restricted area appeared on the screen.
Beside him, Lu Zhan Tian's eyes were glued to the five red dots on the screen.
The operator's hand strangely had eight fingers. As he fiddled with the screen, he seemed to be connected to the five red dots with some kind of signal frequency. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. As he fiddled with the equipment, the map of the restricted area on the screen changed slightly as he fiddled with it.
Lu Zhan Tian's eyes lit up. Scarface lightly laughed and leaned against the tree behind him. "Easy work. Now, let's just wait for them to come knocking!"
… …
A pile of fragrant meat was propped on top of the bonfire. The aroma wantonly spread, and soon, rustling noises could be heard coming from the forest. One to two hundred pairs of small green eyes lit up in the darkness, carefully approaching the source of the aroma.
On the mutant rat's forehead, there was a shiny, translucent white crystal the size of a grain of rice, which showed its mutation level.
Compared to evolved humans, mutated life forms had a much stricter and clearer hierarchy. In essence, all mutated life forms were the same as humans. They had been transformed by dimensional energy, and large amounts of dimensional energy were produced within their bodies. This was what humans called soul power.
Regardless of whether it was through dimensional energy modification, inheritance, or devouring their own kind, a large amount of dimensional energy would gather within their bodies. However, without the cultivation methods of humans to channel it, it would result in a large amount of dimensional energy overflowing within their bodies.
At the beginning of the dark era, this excess energy would cause their bodies to explode, causing them to perish. However, as they slowly evolved and adapted, as well as generations of genetic improvements, mutated life forms learned an evolutionary path that was completely different from humans. They could directly crystallize this excess energy, and the majority of it would appear on their foreheads. The stronger the crystallization, the stronger their bodies would become. Furthermore, they could use the energy stored within the crystallization during combat, becoming incomparably powerful.
The Federation gathered the corpses of mutated beasts for the sake of extracting energy. Dimensional energy crystals were definitely the purest, but they could also be extracted from their bones. These extracted energies would eventually become powerful weapons for humans.
At present, the normal level of mutated beasts was nine ranks. The first to third ranks were equivalent to the Casted Soul Stage of new humans, the fourth to sixth ranks were equivalent to the Heroic Soul Stage, and the seventh to ninth ranks were equivalent to the Heavenly Soul Stage. However, the strength of mutated beasts was much stronger than that of humans of the same rank. After all, when it came to the use of energy, animals were naturally stronger than humans.
The majority of the mutated rats that appeared before them had crystals that were translucent and almost white. They were between Rank 1 and Rank 2, and most of them were cannon fodder mutated beasts that didn't even have dimensional crystals.
Rats were generally timid, even mutated rats. However, they were cunning and vigilant. They slowly approached the source of the fragrance. After confirming that there was no danger, a few Rank 1 mutated rats took the lead and pounced towards the fragrant meat on the bonfire, followed by the rest of the rats. At this moment, seven or eight arrows suddenly shot out from the treetops. Accompanied by a few gunshots, the arrows instantly hit a few Rank 1 targets!
The well-prepared arrows, coupled with the perfectly angled encirclement formed by the bullets, caught the mutated rats unprepared in the blink of an eye. Three Rank 1 mutated rats were hit by the powerful arrows at the same time. The temptation of the fragrance caused them to lose their senses for a moment. They didn't even have the time to circulate their crystallized energy to defend themselves. The arrows pierced through them and nailed them to the ground. Although they didn't die immediately, they screamed in pain. The other two rats were lucky enough to escape, but they were also hit by the bullets and fell to the ground.
"Attack!"
Two silhouettes simultaneously pounced down from the treetops like lightning. Two chilling blades flew towards the two Rank 2 mutated rats that had just been forced to retreat in panic. The mutated rats clearly weren't able to display their full strength, and before they could even stabilize their bodies, their throats were slit by the blades!
An ominous glint appeared in the eyes of the two Rank 2 mutated rats. Amidst their frantic screeches, a layer of white frost visible to the naked eye crawled over their necks, forming a layer of protection.
It was a pity that the bullets that had struck them had caused their blood to churn. The speed of the blades that followed was too fast, so the layer of frost was still a beat too slow. It had only condensed halfway before an intense tearing sensation could be felt from their throats.
Colby could clearly feel the hardness of the layer of frost. It seemed to be even harder than rocks!
However, he knew that the opportunity to launch a sneak attack like that would only last for an instant. In that instant, Colby circulated his soul power to its peak. The high-grade rune weapon from KD Heavy Industries displayed its greatest effect at this moment. The perfect transmission of soul power caused the blade to be even faster and more powerful. The incomparably sharp blade was several times sharper than an ordinary rune dagger!
Despite the intense resistance, the cold blade still shone brightly, causing a large splash of blood. The originally extremely powerful Rank 2 mutated rats didn't even have the time to let out a blood-curdling scream before their heads were separated from their bodies!
