Chapter 1352: Chapter 1354: Mutation Chapter 1352: Chapter 1354: Mutation Patsha, now mutated into a Thunder Eagle, struggled valiantly to stand back up, but his injuries were too severe. In addition to one wing, he had at least five or six bleeding wounds on his body, and one leg was bent at an unnatural angle. Given his current state, if he did not receive immediate treatment, he wouldn't last long before bleeding to death.
The other examinees from the Alien Clan surrounded the mutated bone bull, eyeing Patsha with derision. Although they were all from the Alien Clan, Patsha had chosen the Beast Camp, which they regarded as a form of betrayal.
To them, he was now an enemy combatant, and disposing of him was effortless and advantageous. Not only could they acquire the items from Patsha's corpse, but eliminating him could also enhance their assessment score. Thus, in many eyes, Patsha was no longer a comrade but prey.
As one who chose the Beast Camp, Patsha was well aware that this territory belonged to the beasts. He had lured the Human Race's examinees here with ill intent, hoping to leverage the power of the beasts to deal with them. However, Patsha hadn't anticipated that the Alien Clan's examinees would also set their sights on these beasts, looking to hunt more and improve their assessment ratings before completing the main quest. After all, in their eyes, the Human Race, with only one-third their numbers, was hardly a threat.
“Hahaha, you bunch of bastards, do you really think you've already secured your victory in this assessment?” Patsha suddenly burst into a mad cackle. He could feel the Human Race's examinees closing in, and they had surely spotted this group of the Alien Clan!
Roar~
The mutated bone bull let out an enraged bellow and charged at one of the Alien Clan's examinees. Caught off guard, the examinee was sent flying by the bull's charge, its two horn-like bones piercing through his chest like blades. After goring him and running forward for several steps, the bull fiercely flicked its head, flinging the unfortunate member of the Alien Clan over ten meters away, where he crashed to the ground, coughing up blood, his face deathly pale and weakened.
This attack had grievously wounded him, rendering him incapable of fighting. The other members of the Alien Clan felt a chill in their hearts as the atmosphere grew tense.
Standing on the outskirts of the battlefield, an Alien Clan member with a Rocket Launcher shouted, “Stop goofing around, let me handle this, and watch me blast it to the sky with one shot!”
With that, he unlocked the safety on the Rocket Launcher and took aim at the mutated bone bull, ready to pull the trigger.
“Oh, no, Carta, stop, stop, do not do it, if you intervene now, our spoils will be severely reduced, and our previous efforts will have been for naught…” Seeing him preparing to join the fray, the other members of the Alien Clan screamed in panic, frantically trying to stop him.
“Damn it, I'll give you ten more minutes. If you can't kill it by then, I'll take action!” Carta hesitated for a moment, spat out a curse, and with reluctance, lowered the Rocket Launcher, locking the safety back on.
This Rocket Launcher wasn't something he had brought from the game world, but rather a reward from completing a hidden quest in the Assessment World. Its power far exceeded that of ordinary long-range firearms. It didn't fire conventional rockets but an Infrasound Bomb that launched sonic attacks. In addition to explosive damage to the target, it could trigger a secondary sonic attack, making it incredibly powerful.
This weapon, with the property of “cannot be taken out of the Assessment World,” was compensated by its sheer force. Although it was only of silver quality, its power was almost on par with epic-level weapons. Carta had previously used this weapon to instantly kill two beasts, earning it the name 'beast bane'–a veritable weapon of mass destruction.
However, using it to hunt beasts would cause their bodies to be torn apart, and the sonic attacks would result in secondary damage, leading to organ damage and significantly reduced rewards. This was the primary reason why everyone unanimously requested that Carta stand aside and not engage during the beast hunts.
In fact, Carta, who was left with only one Infrasound Bomb, was also reluctant to use this weapon again. On one hand, it caused a drastic reduction in their gains, and on the other, replacing the rockets was too difficult and costly, something he could barely afford.
The member of the Alien Clan, who had been severely injured by the mutated bone bull, struggled to pull out a syringe from his bosom and then fiercely plunged it into his neck, slowly pushing the medicine from the syringe into his body.
Afterward, the wounds on his body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye, he felt a sense of relief, and his body went limp as he lay on the ground, gasping for air in big, heavy breaths.
On the other side, the Human Race's examinees, seeing a group of the Alien Clan hunting the mutated bone bulls, and that there were casualties, became excited, exchanging glances with each other as if they wanted to do something.
“There are only twelve of them now, and one is severely injured, should we take them all out? This way, the numerical difference will be narrowed, and we won't be so passive anymore…,” whispered one of the Human Race's examinees.
“We can try, but now is not the time, we should wait until they are both weakened from their fight with that beast before we make our move!”
“What do you think happened to the other Alien Clan members? Why didn't they act together?”
“Who knows, maybe there was an uneven distribution, and they're temporarily scattered? Just one mutated beast for twelve people seems a bit much. The spoils of war won't be easy to divide!”
Perhaps because Song Jian was a Divine Favored One, the other examinees subtly ostracized him, and deliberately ignored his presence when discussing.
Song Jian glanced at the group of Alien Clan members, but his attention was more focused on the injured yet seemingly crazed Thunder Eagle in the distance.
“He lured us here, he definitely wouldn't think that just one mutated bone bull could cause us major problems… And, there are only a dozen or so Alien Clan members here, where did the rest go? Could it really be as they guessed, that the Alien Clan is scattered?” Song Jian thought to himself.
Just then, a roaring sound suddenly erupted from a distance, a dark red mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and the ground where Song Jian and his group were trembled slightly, which bore testament to the astonishing explosion that had occurred there!
“Oh, my God, that's Duowa. What have they encountered that made them use a Thunder Magnetic Cloud Bomb? Could it be that they've encountered examinees from the Human Race's camp?” The Alien Clan members attacking the mutated bone bull all looked terrified as they stared at the dark red mushroom cloud rising in the distance, seemingly forgetting that their current opponent was a ferocious mutated bone bull.
“Opportunity!” Song Jian's eyes lit up. The location where the mushroom cloud had erupted was at least ten kilometers away from their current position. It would take more than ten minutes to provide support here, and judging by the current situation, whether the other side could spare the effort to provide support was a question. Now was the best time for a stealth attack!
While the other Human Race's examinees were still hesitating, Song Jian suddenly took to the sky, his Chaotic Heavenly Wings spreading out behind him, lifting him into the mid-air. Nearly a thousand Spirit Swords, burning with dark red flames, covered the entire sky. In an instant, all the Spirit Swords, like raindrops, fell from the sky, enveloping all the Alien Clan members below who were hunting the mutated bone bull!
