Chapter 181

After that giant beast king stopped ramming the cargo ship, the psychological pressure on Lu Chi and the others on deck instantly decreased. The direction the cargo ship was moving in still hadn't left the factory area, only with some deviation from its original position.

But as long as the general direction didn't change, the final destination would still be there, and as long as that was the case, the beast nest wouldn't dare use heavy firepower to bombard the cargo ship.

Within this beast tide, there was only one beast king with a massive size exceeding forty meters. After that humpback whale beast king was severely injured, no other beast king could stop the cargo ship from advancing.

The deck was still a bloody battlefield. Mutant beasts surged forward madly, only to be cut into pieces of meat by steel blades and collapse to the ground.

They didn't know fear or dread. Even if many of their companions died, they would step over their corpses to launch attacks. In a sense, mutant beasts were indeed the most qualified warriors under the beast king's command.

At this moment, the cargo ship was less than one kilometer away from the land-based factory.

The sea was already crowded with densely packed mutant beasts, and the closer they got to the land, the more the silt on the seabed rose. Those mutant beasts squeezed together on the surface of the sea, crushed into the silt by the cargo ship, with blood and broken limbs covering the entire sea surface.

Those trailblazer warriors who had jumped from the plane earlier were now squeezed into the swarm of mutant beasts, standing on floating ice floes and began to slash, using the passage crushed out by the cargo ship's advance to move closer to the land.

In seawater, human evolutionaries were not as agile or powerful as beast kings.

But on land, beast kings were not as swift as humans.

These were two different home fields.

The beast kings wanted to drag the trailblazers into the sea, while Lu Chi and the others only wanted to land and fight them on land.

"Bang!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out, and a burst of scorching light suddenly erupted in the swarm of beasts on the sea. A trailblazer warrior fired a high-heat energy bullet, instantly burning several mutant beasts surrounding him into charred corpses.

"They're not as terrifying as we imagined..." The trailblazer warrior had an excited smile on his face, "They're just slightly larger wild beasts, not even able to tear our combat armor!"

Indeed, most of the mutant beasts coming to block Lu Chi and the others were only around three meters in size, while the larger mutant beasts were assigned to the various construction centers in the beast tide as laborers, and couldn't arrive in time.

Mutant beasts of the three-meter class couldn't compare to the trailblazer warriors in terms of strength or bite force. When their weapons—sharp teeth and claws—landed on these trailblazer warriors, they only made "zzt! zzt!" sounds like the friction of steel. That was the combat armor's powerful protective layer blocking these teeth and claws.

They simply couldn't penetrate the trailblazer warriors' defenses.

Those sharp claws that could easily pierce bones and stones could only leave shallow white scratches on the surface of the combat armor.

"Kill! Kill onto the land! As long as we get onto land, we can easily cut through the beast horde!" Another trailblazer warrior roared. This wasn't boasting in any way. Even the atavistic evolutionaries of the EU, equipped with this set of equipment, could charge in and out of the mutant beast swarm seven times without being stopped, let alone these intellect-type and divine descent-type evolutionaries?

Even if beast kings several times their number blocked their path, they were confident that they could defeat them on land!

But at this moment, the floating ice under the feet of the roaring trailblazer warrior suddenly shattered. A giant crocodile beast king with a body length of ten meters shot up from underwater like a cannonball, directly shattering the ice floe and opening its bloody maw to bite down on the trailblazer warrior.

This beast king had been lurking among the mutant beast swarm underwater, and the attack was unexpected. The trailblazer warrior didn't have time to dodge at all. The feeling of suddenly losing solid support under his feet caused him to lose control. He only had time to stab the steel blade in his hand down towards his feet!

Snap!

The giant crocodile beast king's steel-like upper and lower jaws suddenly closed, and the steel blade pierced through its lower jaw, protruding out of its throat.

But this strike was not enough to kill it.

And that trailblazer warrior had already been firmly bitten by it, along with several mutant beasts that hadn't had time to escape. All of them were clamped by the giant crocodile beast king's iron-like jaws.

The trailblazer warrior's body below the waist was bitten into the giant crocodile beast king's mouth, the steel blade pierced the beast king's lower jaw, and he no longer had any weapons in his hand.

"Shockwave!"

This was a divine descent-type trailblazer. One of his divine descent abilities could create vibrations inside objects he touched.

He raised his fist and smashed it onto the giant crocodile beast king's rough and thick upper jaw!

Crack!

The hard skin of the upper jaw shattered, and the bones inside broke.

Bang!

A sound like a balloon bursting rang out.

Blood spurted out of the giant crocodile beast king's narrow eyes. Its eyes had been shattered into pulp. The intense pain caused it to twist its body madly. Its thick tail smashed the surrounding mutant beasts, breaking their bones and creating an empty area.

Originally, the trailblazer warrior had wanted to directly shatter its heart or brain, but he found that the giant crocodile beast king's heart and brain were surprisingly tough. His shockwave couldn't shatter them instantly. Of the three divine descent abilities he possessed, the powerful ones were mainly the first two, which increased speed and armor-piercing ability, while the third divine descent ability, "Shockwave," didn't have strong killing power!

The giant crocodile beast king was acting like a madman. Although its upper jaw and eyes had suffered severe damage, it still didn't let go. Instead, the muscles in its throat and lower jaw began to tighten, erupting with astonishing bite force.

Crack!

Crack!

An astonishing pressure struck. This giant beast king was obviously also a divine descent-type. Its strength exceeded these mutant beasts by dozens of times, and even combat armor made of special materials couldn't stop its attack.

"Aaaah!" The trailblazer warrior felt intense pain. He waved his fists, trying to break free from this terrifying maw.

Snap.

An extremely crisp sound of metal breaking rang out.

The combat armor shattered, and sharp teeth, thirty centimeters long, ruthlessly tore through the trailblazer warrior's body, along with the bodies of the mutant beasts that were bitten by the giant crocodile beast king at the same time, violently severing them.

A shrill scream echoed through the sky.

"Awoo!"

The giant crocodile beast king bit the trailblazer warrior's body, which hadn't died yet, and sank into the cold seawater. The surrounding mutant beasts swarmed up like crazy...

Although the situation under the seawater couldn't be seen clearly, everyone knew that this trailblazer warrior who had been dragged down was doomed.
