Chapter 4: Hunting the Beast

Outside the city of Trois-Rivières.

Leaving the city, the outside is much more desolate, and going further out is even more creepy. Jiang He grabbed the dagger in his hand and walked cautiously. The only thing that the government can guarantee safety is the urban area, and the suburbs are too big, and there will always be some scattered beasts roaming.

Surrounded by vigorous trees and weeds, the sunlight shines through the stacked leaves, leaving strange shadows on the ground, which looks a little frightening.

The dagger in Jiang He's hand was clenched even tighter.

This used to be a crop field, but later it was affected by radiation, and some rats with strong reproductive ability occupied this place, and they often made trouble everywhere, and they couldn't kill them all! Jiang He had also heard the news of the rat infestation, but he had never seen what the rats and beasts looked like.

"Where are the rats? underground?"

The river searched for it on the ground.

"Plop-"

A soft thud came.

Jiang He's ears moved slightly.

After the dark energy enhancement, his hearing was much stronger than before, and he could clearly feel that a beast behind him was crashing into him, and even a whistling sound was heard.

"Brush!"

Jiang He turned his head suddenly, only to see a dark shadow growing bigger and bigger in front of him.

Hide?

It's too late!

Jiang He turned around, swiped the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely.

"Zheng!"

There was a sharp metal collision sound, and a huge impact force blasted Jiang He's entire person out, and he retreated four or five meters before he stood firm.

"What the hell is this?"

Jiang He endured the pain and looked at it, and was suddenly shocked.

The black shadow that attacked was actually a wild boar-like beast, half a meter high, and it looked very strong, but its pointed mouth and face seemed to be completely different from that of a mountain boar......

"Wait, is it ......"

Jiang He suddenly gasped.

Black Rat Beast!

This is the beast after the mutation of the rat!

The originally petite rat has become such a fierce beast after mutating, and its strong reproductive ability and terrifying mutation have made the rat here a terrifying species! However, even if it mutates, it won't become so big, right? How many times has this size become bigger?

You think you're made of a cavernous body?

And what shocked Jiang He the most was that this black rat beast was not injured at all after receiving his blow.

Can't break the defense?

That's a fart!

Jiang He retreated, he was willing to take risks but was not willing to die. The weakest black rat beast is all copper skin and iron bones, what else is he fighting?

However, Jiang He wanted to retreat, but the black rat beast on the opposite side did not intend to let him go.

"Whoosh!"

Leaping forward, the black rat beast rushed up again.

"Damn. ”

Jiang He dodged a few times in embarrassment, but he couldn't dodge it, so he used a dagger to defend, although he was not injured by the claws of the black rat beast, but he was hit by this guy several times, and his ribs were about to break.

"It's not good to be a teacher......"

After the panic and confusion at the beginning, Jiang He finally calmed down, he couldn't go on like this! There was no need to think about running, and if he went backwards, he would probably be killed by this black rat beast.

If you can't run, I'll find a way to kill you!

Jiang He's eyes became fierce.

His eyes swept over the black ratmon, trying to find its weak spots, its head, its sharp fangs, which could probably bite a dagger, its limbs, its sharp claws...... Jiang He's gaze wandered for a moment, and finally landed on the belly of the black rat beast, which seemed to be its softest place?

"Try it. ”

The rivers are radiant.

"Boom!"

The black rat beast collided again, and Jiang He dodged several times in a row, until the black rat beast rose into the air and was about to kill him, Jiang He burst out with a strong killing intent.

"It's now!"

"Brush!"

The dagger stabbed out.

The black rat beast was in the air, obviously not expecting that the river that had been defending and dodging would suddenly erupt, and the dagger blessed by dark energy slashed an afterimage in the air, stabbing into the abdomen of the black rat beast.

"Poof. ”

One hit piercing, clean and clean.

Jiang He's eyes were boiling with murderous energy, but the sharp claws of the black rat beast refracted a halo in the sun, which made him calm down quickly, and with a stirring of the dagger, he quickly pulled it out.

"Poof!"

Blood is wanton!

The black ratmon was thrown to the ground.

"Chirp!"

A huge hole was opened in the abdomen of the black rat beast, which was the damage blessed by dark energy, and it was the most effective against this low-level mutant beast, and the powerful healing ability of the beast was invalid. It could only struggle on the ground in agony. Countless paw prints half a meter deep were drawn on the ground, which was very terrifying.

Jiang He watched from afar, secretly speaking, is this the strength of a low-level fierce beast?

It's horrible!

After more than ten seconds, the black ratmon stopped moving.

"Hum—"

Silent fluctuations flashed.

A faint energy floated out and poured into Jiang He's body, it was the purest dark energy! After the black rat beast died, the dark energy in its body escaped from heaven and earth, and a small part was directly absorbed by him.

Jiang He looked at the records of the communicator.

"Dark energy: 10.2%. ”

The dark energy only rose by 0.2%, which means that Jiang He can only increase by 1 percentage point if he kills five such powerful black rat beasts!

"It's tough. ”

Jiang He summed it up.

The black rat beast is covered in copper skin and iron bones, ordinary weapons can't break through the defense at all, its attack is even more terrifying, its fangs and claws are extremely sharp, even if the river is scratched, it is estimated that it will lie down directly. The only weakness is the soft flesh of its belly.

"Shhhh

Jiang He moved his body.

He won, but his body almost fell apart, and even if he wasn't scratched by the claws, the few collisions of the black rat beast were very terrifying.

The first time you hunted a ferocious beast, it was so dangerous!

He now has a deep understanding of the sentence that the wild is very dangerous and the beast is terrifying, this is just a low-level black rat beast, not to mention that he only has 10% of the dark energy now, even if it is a student below the gaseous state, in the face of this kind of fierce beast, if he is not careful, he may hang up.

No wonder the school doesn't advise students to come out!

"Go back?"

Jiang He hesitated, but quickly became firm.

Others are entitled to comfort, but he does not. He was two years behind the other students, and if he wanted to catch up with them, hunting the beast was the only way out! Since he was able to kill the first black rat beast, he couldn't kill the second one! Only by summing up experience in constant battles could he become stronger.

Just as he was summing up the results of the battle, Jiang He suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.

Again?

Jiang He was shocked.

Now he lacks physical strength, if there is another black rat beast, there is only a dead end, without any hesitation, the river quickly retreated, leaving the place.

When leaving, Jiang He subconsciously glanced back, and suddenly his soul was gone!

A bucket-like figure suddenly burst out of the ground, opened its bloody mouth, swallowed the black rat beast he had just killed, and then leisurely returned to the ground.

That's a terrifying mutant snake!

Jiang He's back was covered in a cold sweat.

That location...... There was a half-meter-wide pothole, but Jiang He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the norm in the suburbs, and he didn't think about it......

Jiang He was scared for a while when he thought about it.

It seems that if An Wen wants to hunt fierce beasts, he must not only pay attention to the fierce beasts themselves, but also pay attention to the surrounding environment, especially when there are potholes in the ground, never approach!

"Is it because of the blood of the black rat beast?"

Jiang He was thoughtful.

A moment later, Jiang He found a lone black rat beast.

"Poof. ”

Jiang He struggled to find an opportunity, and the beast was killed on the spot.

"Hum—"

0.2% Dark Energy in hand!

The black rat beast died, Jiang He quickly retreated, waiting on the side, sure enough, a moment later, a strange-looking rat-like beast appeared, and the most shocking thing was that it actually walked upright! The rat-like beast looked left and right, did not see the enemy, and quickly dragged the body of the black rat beast away.

With a thud, it disappeared without a trace.

Jiang He was dumbfounded.

He had thought it would be a mutant snake, but just now he ......

"Yellowskin, the mutated beast of the weasel!"

Jiang He suddenly realized.

He had seen the nearby information before he came, and it should be the only one who was eligible, although this fierce beast had good combat effectiveness, but it was extremely cunning, and his favorite was to pick up leaks!

A terrible beast.

The caution in Jiang He's heart added another point. I thought that hunting fierce beasts was the most dangerous, but now it seems that how to get out of the body is the most important thing!

This wilderness is really not a place for ordinary people to stay.

Time flies.

For a day, the rivers and rivers hunted the black rat beast in this vicinity.

Although he was extremely cautious, he was still spotted by the Yellow-skinned Beast once, and chased him for a full kilometer, almost not running away, and since then, Jiang He has been more careful. Fortunately, although it is dangerous to hunt fierce beasts, the harvest is also extremely rich, and the dark energy has increased by 3%, and the total amount has reached 13%!

There is a lot of risk, there is a lot of gain.

Jiang He is very satisfied, if he is 3% a day, he can reach 100% of the radiation state in a month, right? This cultivation speed is enough to be proud of the others.

It was getting dark, and the river went back.

Ordinary people will be affected by the vision at night, and at the same time, all aspects of the body will be reduced, on the contrary, many mutated beasts can ignore the night, and even strengthen their strength, and the mortality rate of going out at night is very high, and Jiang He does not want to die here.

The way back was quite smooth, and the few fierce beasts and rivers that I saw were carefully avoided.

It's just that just when he left the danger zone of the fierce beast and entered the edge area, Jiang He faintly heard a coquettish voice.

"Help—"

Someone!

Jiang He's heart moved.

Looking from afar, I saw a little girl in a school uniform running towards this side in a panic, and a black rat beast chased her up and down, and she was about to cry. Obviously, this is a student with no experience, and when the student goes out and encounters a fierce beast for the first time, most of them react like this.

"Big brother, help me. ”

The little girl noticed the river.

It is the uniform of the first junior high school.

Jiang He glanced at it quickly, and after noticing that there were no other fierce beasts, he said in a deep voice, "Bring it over." ”

"Thank you. ”

The little girl ran over excitedly.

Jiang He stood in a good position, and when the black rat beast attacked the little girl, he suddenly rushed out, and the dagger went straight into the abdomen of the black rat beast, killing it with one blow! After killing the black rat beast for a day, Jiang He's biggest improvement was his mentality and techniques, and without external influence, he could already deal with it calmly.

PS: Don't ask me what is corpora cavernosa, don't know.
