Soon, when the soldiers realized that no one was restraining them, they let loose completely, and gasps of amazement filled the air.

"Holy crap! That's huge!"

"Damn! To be able to kill something like this in my lifetime, I feel like my life has been worthwhile!"

"Even the savage beasts in mythological novels couldn't compare to this!"

"It's dead. Standing next to it is terrifying. If it weren't for the trap, how could this thing possibly be killed!"

"Tch, you're so ignorant! I once killed a giant alligator snapping turtle that was even bigger than this, along with the chief and his wife! Back then, we didn't have such elaborate traps!"

"I used to love grilled eel, but the meat of this level three mutated eel must be absolutely delicious! Even if it costs more work points, I'll exchange for more this time!"

"Damn, grilled level 3 evolved eel meat!! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

Many team members were also carrying containers, bending over to collect the blood and bits of flesh scattered on the ground.

These are all good things!

Even if there's a lot of sand or cement dust mixed in right now.

Before long, the female relatives of the hunting team members who had stayed in Donghu City also received the news and rushed over.

As soon as the hundreds of women approached, they were terrified when they saw the giant eel lying in front of them.

Screams rose and fell, some even collapsing to the ground with their legs weak, their eyes filled with horror and fear.

Some of the women were so frightened they cried.

The hunting team members burst into laughter, beaming with pride.

The person in charge shouted through a megaphone, "Stop watching! Start cutting up the giant eel right now!"

The work of cutting up the eel officially began.

A team of over 800 people doing one thing at the same time should be incredibly efficient.

However, when it came to dealing with this level-three mutated giant eel, they found themselves completely helpless.

The eel's skin is too smooth; a regular chainsaw simply cannot apply force to it. The saw teeth merely slip on the skin, producing a screeching sound, but cannot cause any real damage.

"What are we going to do? This skin is so hard to get rid of!" one of the team members shouted anxiously.

"Try a saw made from the bones of a level 3 evolved beast!"

"I tried, it was really difficult! The skin is hard and slippery! And it's covered in sticky mucus!"

"Boil water! Pour hot water over it! Get rid of that slime first!"

"It works! The slime is gone, making things much easier! But the skin is still too hard and slippery, I'll have to work on it slowly!"

Because these third-level evolved animal hides are extremely precious and cannot be handled carelessly, the work is progressing very slowly.

Meanwhile, Li Qingxuan hurriedly left with a small piece of giant eel skin, heading to the temporary laboratory in Donghu City for testing.

In the laboratory, researchers conducted detailed tests on the giant eel's skin.

The results showed that the cortex of this leather is not thick, but it has extremely good flexibility and smoothness.

Compared to the previously obtained Tier 3 behemoth hide, the giant eel hide is lighter and softer, making it ideal for crafting battle armor and inner armor, and its protective capabilities are in no way inferior.

One researcher exclaimed with delight and excitement, "This giant eel skin is simply an excellent material for making equipment!"

Another researcher looked at Li Qingxuan excitedly and said, "Madam Li, given the size of this giant eel, even after deducting the unusable parts, it could probably make about 300 sets of soft armor! This would be a huge boost to the defense of our core combat personnel in Fuxing City!"

Li Qingxuan smiled slightly, left the research institute, and returned to the disassembly site.

At this moment, the team members were still struggling to break down the eel.

Li Qingxuan's gaze fell on a certain spot on the giant eel's head, where a cluster of the most intense cyan light was shining.

That was the most precious level-three energy essence from the level-three giant eel!

Li Qingxuan took a deep breath, and in a flash, she quickly arrived at the top of the giant eel's head.

Finding the most suitable position, Li Qingxuan drew the Alligator Turtle Battle Blade, raised it high, and forcefully chopped down on a part of the giant eel's skull.

However, despite being a Level 2 Evolver and having used six bottles of gene evolution substrate, strength was not her forte.

Each strike only left a shallow mark on the hard skull, making very slow progress.

But Li Qingxuan showed no sign of giving up; she was filled with joy at the prospect of helping Jiang Wu obtain this level-three energy essence.

Moreover, this thing is too precious; Li Qingxuan would never trust anyone else to handle it.

Time passed second by second.

Sweat streamed down Li Qingxuan's face, soaking her python-skin armor, but she was completely unaware.

Over time, the cracks in the skull gradually widened.

Finally, after a long period of effort, Li Qingxuan successfully split open the skull.

Li Qingxuan was already panting heavily, but her face was full of joy.

She carefully scooped out the fish brain and flesh, and finally took out the mass of level-three energy essence. Li Qingxuan examined it closely, a sweet and happy smile on her face.

Although Jiang Wu had told her that if she obtained the level three energy essence, she should consume it herself.

But Li Qingxuan was not prepared to do that.

She wanted to leave this to Jiang Wu to distribute.

Essentially, Li Qingxuan is just a girl who devotes all her attention to her man.

......

Nuclear Defense Base No. 101.

Jiang Wu, along with Blood Girl and Ning Chuxia who had just finished yoga, discussed the next steps for Radiant City.

After chatting for a while, Blood Woman said softly, "Husband, why don't we let Zi Ling do it? She's always been the one arranging these things."
