Not far away, at the place where the Mythical Beast and Tyrant were fighting, a painful roar came from the Fire Swamp.
The Mythical Beast's throat was pierced through by a terrifying giant claw!
In the burning flames, the Godly Beast struggled with all its might. Hot blood splashed onto the flames, but it didn't extinguish the raging fire. Instead, it made the fire burn even more fiercely. However, its throat had been pierced through, so all its actions were just a futile struggle.
In front of it was the Tyrant, who was as silent as ice.
Under the burning of the flames, the Energy Binding Overcoat turned into pieces of burnt skin and fell off. Thus, the true strength of the Tyrant was released. His original height of 2.3 meters was pushed up to 2.7 meters by his bulging muscles!
Thick meridians were like the roots of an old tree, wrapping around the surface of his burnt skin. His terrifying mutated muscles were like pieces of pebbles, decorating his chest, shoulders, and arms. Within some of the cracks on his skin, there was flesh that was as red as magma.
The most shocking thing was that Tyrant's giant claw had white spikes protruding from its fingers. They were almost half a meter long, like the tusks of an elephant.
The second form!
The Godly Beast, who was struggling on the brink of death, used its claws to scratch the Tyrant's body, creating deep wounds that revealed the bones. Large balls of flames were also continuously spitting out of its mouth and nose, burning some of its flesh.
However, under Tyrant's silent gaze, the Mythical Beast, whose throat was pierced by the giant claw, let out an unwilling roar as its life force and blood quickly flowed out. It disappeared into light.
Zhang Lei's face turned even paler. Initially, after Lin Xi killed the summoned beast, he still had a glimmer of hope, which was the Mythical Beast.
But now, the powerful Mythical Beast had also been killed!
Seeing Jian Zhi walk out of the Fire Swamp with his bulging muscles, Tyrant looked like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus. Then, he looked at Lin Xi, who was holding a green light beam scythe and had a pair of blood wings, Zhang Lei felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart.
Damn it, if you're so strong, why didn't you show it earlier?
You only took a broken axe that was worth a thousand points and gave it to the girl beside you. You even gave her a bunch of trash equipment?
Isn't this a trap?
The Mythological Beasts, the Rock-Toothed Wild Boar, and the Abyss Python had all died, so it would take a while before he could summon them again. Besides, even if he could summon them now, he didn't have much magic power left.
Although he still had the Word of Truth: Shield on him, Zhang Lei didn't think that a mere golden Holy Light Shield could block the energy weapon.
Looking at the approaching Lin Xi, he couldn't help but take a step back. At the same time, he squeezed out a humble smile and said, "Haha, today was just a misunderstanding …"
"Misunderstanding?"
Lin Xi swung his scythe, and a green beam of light slashed at the golden barrier. The particles and the holy light clashed for a while, and the color of the barrier continued to darken. In the end, there was a crisp sound, and it quietly disappeared.
The blade was pressed against Zhang Lei's neck.
"Three cards, hand them over."
"You, what are you doing? Put the scythe further away … Brother, you're my brother, okay? "
Zhang Lei's legs couldn't help but tremble. He was lecherous and ruthless, but he was also afraid of death. Just now, Lin Xi used the scythe to kill the Rock-Toothed Wild Boar and the Abyss Python. He didn't think that his neck was stronger than the mud shell of the wild boar.
"Robbery."
"But these cards can only be activated with magic power. Brother, you can't use them even if you have them!" Zhang Lei said with a sad face.
"Take out your phone," Lin Xi said again.
Zhang Lei's heart suddenly surged with strong anger and unwillingness. In order to exchange for the Secret Sect's Shadow Priest card, he had accumulated more than 27,000 points. It should be known that the Rock-Toothed Wild Boar and the Abyss Python cards added up to less than 10,000 points!
"Brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai." He begged bitterly, almost kneeling down and kowtowing.
Seeing this, all the students felt disdain, satisfaction, and amusement. Who would have thought that the arrogant and vicious Zhang Lei would have such a day?
He deserved it!
"Pui!"
Someone spat a mouthful of phlegm from upstairs. The phlegm landed precisely on Zhang Lei's head.
Zhang Lei was furious, and his eyes were bloodshot. If it was any other time, he would definitely rush up to the dormitory, drag that person out, and beat him to death!
But now, he could only swallow his anger.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xi suppressed his laughter and said calmly, "I'm curious, in your heart, which is more important, points or your life?"
"If I kill you, your phone will fall out, and everything in it will be mine … The beast you summoned just now was obviously trying to kill me. Even if I kill you now, it's still acceptable."
Zhang Lei's face turned pale, and cold sweat kept dripping down.
Gritting his teeth, he hesitated for a long time, and then took out his phone with trembling hands.
When Lin Xi saw that the number of points in the phone was as high as 27500, he was completely stunned. This guy, so rich?
"I, I worked so hard to accumulate points for more than half a month, and it was taken away just like that …" Zhang Lei's heart was bleeding, but he could only put on a fawning expression and force a smile.
Without any politeness, he transferred all of the biological energy into his own phone, not leaving a single bit behind. Lin Xi then said something that made Zhang Lei vomit blood. "Hand over those three cards as well."
"They're useless to you!"
"I know, but I can sell them."
"Don't push me too far! Be careful, or I'll have a life-and-death struggle! " Zhang Lei immediately erupted in anger, but under Lin Xi's calm gaze, in less than three seconds, he became dispirited. "Big brother, I beg you, leave me a path of survival."
"Don't you still have the divine beast without the cards? You can earn it by yourself. "
Lin Xi paused for a moment, and then said in a meaningful tone, "Let me give you a word of advice. When necessary, people should know how to lower their heads in order to live longer."
Some of the surrounding students couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. This was clearly what Zhang Lei had just said, but now, he was returning it back to him, word for word.
"How the f * ck did I provoke this kind of person …" Zhang Lei was furious.
Actually, his current situation was already considered good.
In Lin Xi's heart, he was already filled with killing intent. This kind of person would only bring pain to others if he stayed. However, the military had just sent him to team up with this guy, and in the blink of an eye, he killed him. Wasn't this a slap in the military's face?
Just a slap in the face was nothing — after all, Lin Xi wasn't like the weak evolvers who needed to rely on the military.
But Ah Yong and Curly Hair had to drink the giant's bloodline potion.
If he offended the military, when the time came for the BOSS hunt, they wouldn't be able to bring him along. That would be a huge loss.
Lin Xi's strength was very strong, but he still wasn't sure if he could face a giant. The giant's body was too big. When the scythe slashed at it, it was no different from being pricked by a needle. Moreover, the giant's blood contained high-temperature steam, which would erupt once it was hit. It was very difficult to deal with.
"Zhang Lei, I'll let you live for a while longer … Hmm, I'll wait for him to accumulate some biological energy, and then rob him again to get some benefits? Sounds good … "
When Zhang Lei, who looked as if he had lost his parents, left in a daze, the students who had witnessed everything started to chatter.
Everyone was extremely excited, and they even wondered if they were dreaming today. Besides the thrill of watching a blockbuster, Zhang Lei's ugly state and the miserable state of being robbed were also very satisfying.
Ning Shuixin looked at Lin Xi with a grateful gaze. Her watery eyes were filled with tenderness and sweetness. Wang Feifei, who was watching from the side, secretly curled her lips in displeasure.
The school leaders rushed over very quickly.
Lin Xi brought the three young ladies with him, arranged for them to stay in an independent small building.
He had no interest in dealing with these school officials at all. They were not good people and were far from the military. The middle-aged official who received him was also a wily old fox. Sensing his thoughts, he said a few words of compliment and left.
He would probably stay at the school for three to four days, and then he would leave with the rest of the team.
In the inventory space of his phone, there was rice, vegetables, and meat that he had found when he went out to hunt the giants a few days ago. After sending the excited girls to cook, Lin Xi began to take inventory of his gains.
Three cards: Truth Word — Shield, Rock-Toothed Wild Boar, and Abyss Python.
These cards from Hearthstone required spiritual energy to activate. Lin Xi didn't have spiritual energy, so he couldn't use them. However, after searching for a while, he found a consumable called Magical Energy Crystal in the exchange category of the evolutionary base.
Magical Energy Crystals could replace spiritual energy to activate the cards.
The three cards only needed one Magical Energy Crystal.
Magical Energy Crystals were a kind of energy aggregation, a crystallized energy source. Although the exchange price was not high, it was not low either, 500 points per crystal.
500 points seemed like nothing, but … Magical Energy Crystals were consumables!
Cards with mana that could be used without spending money became 500 mana points per use — and this was because the three cards were of very low levels. It was not worth it at all. Almost no one would consider exchanging for a card and using a Magic Crystal as a power source.
However, the three cards today were spoils of war that didn't cost a single cent.
"It can be considered as a way to calm down Ning Shuixin and the others."
Lin Xi put the three blue Magical Energy Crystals together with the three cards and smiled. He was going to give them to the little beauties as a gift later.
Currently, he had a total of 36,000 points of biological energy.
Today, when Tyrant was fighting with the mythological beast, the energy binding coat was burnt to a crisp. This guy couldn't always be in the second form. That would consume too much biological energy — the cells of those infected with the T-virus also contained biological energy.
Tyrant wasn't a perpetual motion machine. In fact, for the past half a month, he had to eat to replenish his energy every day he hunted the giants.
Originally, this guy could directly eat the flesh of the corpses to replenish his energy. Lin Xi didn't want his companions to eat people, even dead people. Therefore, he specially searched for some rotten flesh as food for Tyrant.
In short, Tyrant needed a coat. Fortunately, there was an energy binding coat in the evolution base. The price was not cheap: 2000 points.
There were still 34,000 points left. Lin Xi didn't spend it. He planned to save up to 40,000 points to hire a humanoid intelligent mercenary he liked.
In the evolution base, each of those limited edition characters was unique.
Once someone hired them, others couldn't get them.
There were 100,000 evolved people in the world.
Lin Xi knew that even if he belonged to the upper class of evolved people, there would always be people who were stronger and wealthier than him in the world.
Which one didn't want beautiful characters in movies, anime, and games?
Before the doomsday, just figurines alone attracted many people to spend a lot of money to buy them.
Now, they were real people!
If it weren't for Saber, Sis Cannon, Kuang San, Black Snow Girl, Ling Meng, Icarus, Yaya, Black Rock Archer, Qi Mei, Xiao Meiyan, Shimakaze, and Yama Love, the price of hiring these beautiful characters was too terrifying. Each of them cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
Some of the names of the mercenaries below 100,000 had already disappeared from the employment column of the evolution base.
For example, Mikasa, who cost 30,000 points.
For example, the most popular female game character in Europe and America: Laura.
For example, the most famous female fighter in the game from China: Chun Li.
It was obvious that these items had been exchanged by someone else.
It could be an otaku, a woman, or even an uncle.
However, there was one thing. Although mercenaries would disappear after they died and wouldn't return, if they were not satisfied with their master, they could terminate the contract and return to the employment column of the evolution base. Therefore, these people didn't have to be afraid of being treated badly.
In general, although mercenaries, especially female mercenaries, were very attractive, they were expensive. Most of the evolved people in the world couldn't afford to hire them.
If it wasn't for Lin Xi, who had a bloodline that improved his overall physical fitness, the first requirement of the evolved people would probably be to strengthen their attributes. In addition, they also needed to exchange for weapons, armor, and accessories that could restore life such as healing pearls.
There were only a handful of people who could afford and were willing to exchange for beautiful mercenaries.
However, in the future, as the evolved people's biological energy increased, there would definitely be more and more beautiful characters being hired. The one that Lin Xi was interested in cost 40,000 points, which wasn't considered high. If he didn't make a move, he suspected that his name would disappear from the evolution base in a few days.
After all, she was one of the five most famous female characters in the history of the game, along with Laura in Tomb Raider, Chun Li in Street Fighter, Tifa in Final Fantasy, and Princess Biqi in Mario.
Even Ada Wong in Resident Evil, the Queen of Blades in Starcraft, and Sister Bei in Angel Hunter were not as famous as her!
If he was late, it would be gone.
