Chapter 48 Beast Attack
If the scales of this iron-armored bull are worth about five million, then the value of this piece of bezoar is at least ten million or even more.
A cow with bezoar has the possibility of being promoted again. For example, a cattle mutant may mutate into an armored bull or a unicorn, but these are actually mutated breeds of cattle.
Except for big African buffaloes or rhinos that can become Class B, this kind of cattle cannot be promoted to Class B unless it has bezoar.
No wonder this cow grew so big. If given some more time, it would probably become Class B. Unfortunately, it was killed by Lin Zhen before it reached Class B, and the bezoar became Lin Zhen's trophy.
He happily put away the bezoar. Killing a C-level beast gave him a spoils of more than 20 million, which made Lin Zhen very happy.
After packing up my stuff, I returned to the armored vehicle, and the battle here was over.
The largest bull was led away by Lin Zhen, and the remaining five armored bulls could not really threaten the four general-level masters. Shi Lei killed the armored bull first, and then went to support Ye Tiancheng. Then the two of them returned together and dealt with the few armored bulls that Zhao Liang was still leading around in circles.
However, they had just finished and were thinking about going to support Lin Zhen when they saw that Lin Zhen had already returned.
Not only did he come back, he also skinned the armored bull and brought back its scales, armor and horns.
"Okay, Lin Zhen, I knew you were fine. You killed the mutant snake, so this mutant cow should be no problem." Zhao Liang sat on the ground, looking very tired. It was really difficult for him to lead three cows around in circles. If Gao Yan hadn't been using a sniper rifle to attract the mutant cows, Zhao Liang would have been in danger.
The sniper rifle is indeed not very effective in shooting mutant cows.
Shi Lei also panted and said: "It's good to be back. Speaking of which, among the few of us, I'm afraid you are the first to kill the mutant cow. It seems that a genius is a genius."
Ye Tiancheng did not speak. His two swords were light and agile, and had limited killing power against the Iron-Armored Bull. In the end, he killed it with the help of Shi Lei. He felt somewhat uncomfortable being outshined by a newcomer like Lin Zhen.
"Okay, Lao Gao, you will be responsible for dissecting these cows, collecting their scales, armor, horns, and other items. Once we sell them, we can distribute the money."
After that, he also said to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, you are new to our team and may not be familiar with it. This is how we deal with the mutant beasts we kill together. But don't worry, your share of the income will definitely not be less. Just based on the fact that you killed the largest armored bull, you may earn an extra two or three million this time."
"Don't worry, Captain. I understand."
Lin Zhen put down the scales and other things, and also handed in the crystals, but he did not take out the bezoars. Things like these that were not in the plan did not need to be handed in.
Seeing Lin Zhen's cowhide scales, Gao Yan was amazed: "This scale is so complete, there is no damage at all. Lin Zhen, how did you kill this guy?"
"Eyes, stab the gun into the eye socket and crush its brain." Lin Zhen gestured.
"Amazing! You were able to stab the Ironclad Bull's eyes in the middle of a fight. Just based on this, I think you are the best of our Ice City's young generation. People like Changfeng Chen Jingchou, Tulong Lei Ming, and our martial arts school's Fu Chengya and Shen Tuhua are no match for you."
Lin Zhen smiled. He had no intention of competing with these people. His target was only a few people.
Gao Yan performed the autopsy, Shi Lei and Zhao Liang went to the car to rest, Lin Zhen and Ye Tiancheng were in charge of alert, and the team quickly took action.
The death of the mutant cow attracted some mutant beasts nearby, but because of the presence of these cows, there were no particularly powerful mutant beasts nearby, and Lin Zhen and Ye Tiancheng could easily deal with them.
During this process, Lin Zhen hardly put in any effort. Ye Tiancheng seemed to be trying hard to show off, and he basically dealt with all the mutant beasts that approached by himself. Lin Zhen was also happy to be idle, watching Ye Tiancheng's performance.
When he had nothing to do, Ye Tiancheng would take out his mobile phone to take pictures of the trophies and then post them on the internal website of the martial arts gym.
Such an action would somewhat expose the location of the group. Lin Zhen felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but seeing that Ye Tiancheng posted it on the internal network, he did not say much.
Half an hour later, Gao Yan dealt with the corpse of the mutant cow, and everyone got back into the car.
"Everyone did a great job just now, especially Lin Zhen, who killed the largest armored bull by himself, which brought our team a considerable income. Now let me tell you about the plan."
Shi Lei took out a map and pointed, "According to the news, the giant bear is entrenched in the center of Yilan County, that is, in the county gymnasium. Some warriors have gone there before, but many of them have encountered accidents. There are many monsters in the gymnasium, and it is very dangerous to approach rashly. So we have to move forward steadily and ensure that our retreat is unobstructed, so that we can have a chance to deal with the giant bear."
"There are eight teams entering Yilan now. This is basically the first wave. There will be a steady stream of warriors coming from the base city. We should not worry about how others go. We should just move forward along this road. Five hundred meters ahead, there is the ruins of an ancient city hotel. It is barely habitable. We should rest there first, then advance inside from there and try to reach the gymnasium as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" several people answered.
"Okay, let's act now. Everyone, cheer up. We may not only have to face mutant beasts in the wild, but also other warrior teams, especially the Demon God Team. They have lost 100 million, and they will definitely not give up."
Several people nodded to show that they understood.
The armored vehicles began to move forward slowly. They did not encounter any high-level mutant beasts like the Iron Bull along the way. Most of them were E-level and F-level. People had little interest in hunting them. Only D-level mutant beasts were considered valuable. If they killed the mutant beasts as soon as they were seen, ten armored vehicles would not be enough to carry them.
The car drove all the way to the entrance of the hotel and five people got out of the car.
The hotel building is relatively well preserved. It is a five-story building and you can vaguely see its former appearance.
After getting off the car, Ye Tiancheng took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures. He seemed to prefer posting some things online.
Seeing that Ye Tiancheng was interested, Shi Lei and the others did not rush into the house and stood outside casually.
Not far away there is a building with more than ten floors. Although it is dilapidated, it has not collapsed. I don’t know how it has survived for so many years.
Lin Zhen looked at the building and felt uneasy. Such high-rise buildings that looked like beehives were often the homes of bird mutants and might be dangerous.
Thinking about it, Lin Zhen said, "Captain, I think that tall building is very dangerous. There might be a large group of birds living there. We should either not stay here or go inside quickly. If we are besieged by birds, there might be casualties."
Ye Tiancheng was filming. He laughed when he heard Lin Zhen's words: "Lin Zhen, you'd better not show off your book knowledge. Yilan is close to Mudan City. In order to ensure the safety of the military's airspace, mutant birds are cleared regularly every month. There are no large flocks of mutant birds nearby. Even if there are, it's getting dark now. Except for nocturnal birds like owls, other birds have returned to their nests long ago. They won't come out unless you harass them with drums and gongs. Do owls still appear in groups? Hahaha! Your book knowledge is not very sophisticated."
Lin Zhen frowned slightly. Birds are very mobile, and Yilan has never completely conquered them. Moreover, if you don't alarm them, there is no guarantee that others will not be alarmed. Ye Tiancheng's words cannot prove anything.
But he was a newcomer who joined the team late, and it was not easy to refute him in person, so he did not continue speaking.
Ye Tiancheng finished filming the hotel and posted it online. Just as he finished, a cloud of smoke suddenly flew in from a distance and an explosion occurred in the tall building.
"boom!"
A ball of fireworks exploded in the air, appearing a light blood red.
"Oh no! It's a blood mist bomb, specially designed to attract birds in the sky! Someone is plotting against us!"
As soon as Shi Lei finished saying "not good", everyone felt the light dim.
It seemed as if the tall building had exploded. Countless mutant birds flew out from it and quickly found the group of people closest to them, which was Lin Zhen and his group. The flock of birds quickly formed a large dark cloud and fell from the sky at an extremely high speed!
"Be careful, it's a brain-eating swallow!"
The brain-eating swallows were called swallows in the AD calendar. They began to mutate after the Divine Transformation Day. Each one is as big as the previous eagle. Although they are only F-level mutant birds, they are extremely fast. They fly in groups and will peck human skulls. They like to feed on brains, and have completely transformed from a beneficial bird into a raptor.
"Assemble. I'll be in front, Zhao Liang will be behind, Lin Zhen and Tian Cheng will be on your left and right. Protect Lao Gao! Push towards the hotel entrance. It will be much safer once you get inside."
Shi Lei quickly issued a battle order. Although facts proved that Lin Zhen was right, it was meaningless to argue about it now. This time everyone could not disperse, otherwise they would surely die under the flock of birds.
