But Lin Yuan still gazed at the aerial monster on the Swamp Star. Seeing it adopt a curved evasion, the beast roared again, its massive wings, spanning hundreds of meters, folded up quickly like clay. In that high-speed pursuit, the entire body of the monster elongated and twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground, transforming into a land creature!
Indeed, Lin Yuan was nearly scared out of his wits. This was truly unbelievable; if it weren't for the fact that the monster's skin wasn't mechanical, he would have suspected it was a powerful Mechanical Warrior!
This was unscientific! How could silicon-based life forms change their physical appearance so freely, especially transforming from an aerial beast into a terrestrial one?
However astonished Lin Yuan was, the monster accelerated again. This time, its transformed body was flatter but very tall—somewhat resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex—with incredibly strong legs that allowed it to sprint rapidly across the ground while easily dodging clustered trees. With a height of around sixty to seventy meters, catching up to Lin Yuan seemed much easier!
Even more terrifying was that this creature had mutated its two front legs into sharp, saw-like appendages. They were so keen that they effortlessly sliced through the treetops of clustered trees. This demonstrated that defense wasn't the ultimate solution; offense was indeed the best defense!
Of course, Lin Yuan was no fool. Seeing this monster foolishly transform into a land creature, he certainly wouldn't risk his life for nothing. Recovering from his shock, he immediately soared into the sky, climbing thousands of meters high and even had the audacity to shout, "Idiot! Come chase me! Come chase me..."
Before Lin Yuan's wild shouts could finish, he had to abruptly stop because at that moment, the land monster suddenly roared again—this time even more ferociously than before. The sound was like thunder, sweeping through the air and crashing towards him. Lin Yuan was caught off guard and hit directly by this shockwave!
Although Lin Yuan reacted quickly, he still lost nearly 600 Health Points and couldn't maintain his balance. Like a bird with a broken wing, he screamed as he fell from mid-air. Meanwhile, that cunning monster opened its massive jaws and charged up from the ground with impressive speed, even stylishly flicking its tail in mid-air—what a show-off! It felt as if a guardian like Ronaldo leaped into the air to catch a ball about to be kicked into the goal.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan wasn't that unfortunate ball. At the moment his drone state lost balance and began to fall, he directly switched to First Form. Simultaneously, his Mechanical Wings shot out like a yellow chick flapping its wings rapidly and finally skimmed just ten centimeters above the monster's gaping mouth!
But how could this satisfy Lin Yuan's astonishment and anger? So at that same moment, he let out a furious roar and drew out his specially made Giant Blade from behind him. The already modified Second Mechanical Arm unfolded for dual wielding. The Energy Engine instantly overclocked, gravity decreased as he stomped down hard on the monster's head before Lin Yuan swung down with all his might!
The entire process was as swift as lightning and represented Lin Yuan's peak strike thus far. Although the Silicon-Based Monster had incredible strength, its massive size ultimately slowed its reaction time. Moreover, after transforming into First Form, Lin Yuan could still fly in mid-air; the agility of his Mechanical Wings made his attack filled with threat and uncertainty!
So when that blade came down, the effect was predictable—especially since Lin Yuan specifically targeted the center of the monster's eyes!
With a thunderous crash, despite the beast's strong defense value, it couldn't withstand the weight of Lin Yuan's Giant Blade combined with a downward strike aimed precisely at its vulnerable spot. The central area of its eye socket caved in with a crunching sound as it let out an agonizing howl!
Lin Yuan seized this opportunity without mercy; having landed a successful blow, he immediately jumped up like lightning again while quickly repositioning his Giant Blade to point downward! Finally, he concentrated all his strength and thrust downward with force!
With a swish sound accompanying the beast's agonized screams, this fifteen-meter-long Giant Blade plunged straight into the wound created earlier!
At this moment, it seemed as if the monster had gone mad; it shook its massive head violently while its front claws rapidly grew longer and larger in an attempt to grasp Lin Yuan atop its head!
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan—grasping onto his Battle Machine—wasn't foolish either. Excitedly howling while fiercely twisting the Giant Blade around in that massive wound transformed it into a chaotic mess bubbling with purple blood!
As the chaos unfolded, the Giant Blade plunged deeper into the creature. Lin Yuan, in a bid to evade the monster's two massive claws, leaped down as well, seeking to inflict even more damage.
Though reckless, it was exhilarating!
The monster, caught off guard by such a devastating blow, found itself unable to grasp Lin Yuan. It could only roar wildly and charge forward in a frenzy, its vitality seemingly boundless. It ran for four or five minutes before crashing to the ground, lifeless and unblinking.
At that moment, two notifications echoed in Lin Yuan's Intellect.
"Beep! You have successfully killed the Junior Transmorphic Mistjaw Beast and obtained its information card. This card allows you to fully understand the genetic sequence of the Mistjaw Beast. This information will remain permanently valid and will not be blocked during your next Monthly Assessment, as it is knowledge you acquired yourself."
"Beep! You have successfully killed the Junior Transmorphic Mistjaw Beast. You have gained 00 Mission Points and 5 Advanced Points. However, due to your method of attack being deemed cheating by Instructor Snow Wind, your information card will never be counted in the Monthly Assessment evaluation. Additionally, you are penalized 1000 Mission Points and 5 Advanced Points. Thus, you have a total of 4000 Mission Points and 5 Advanced Points. A warning from Snow Wind: You fool! If you cheat like this again, expect a direct negative review!"
……
"What the hell! You damn instructor! Is this really considered cheating?"
After reading those notifications, Lin Yuan was furious, his anger boiling over. Why? Why was this happening?
It was jealousy—blatant jealousy!
Yes, it had to be because he was too outstanding; that old witch!
Cursing and swearing in his heart, Lin Yuan awkwardly crawled out from the brain matter of the Mistjaw Beast. He couldn't care less about cleaning the grime off his Mechanical Body; he hurriedly began collecting his spoils. Although this Mistjaw Beast was at a junior level, its overall combat power was likely on par with an E5 Elite Warrior. If it weren't for his slight trickery and incredible luck that could cook a chicken over firewood, he wouldn't have been able to kill it.
However, had this Mistjaw Beast not attempted a flashy aerial maneuver, Lin Yuan would never have gotten close enough to finish it off. If that fool had unleashed another air cannon attack, Lin Yuan would have had no choice but to flee—he could have been torn to shreds.
So, a lesson learned: one must never become complacent.
At that moment, Lin Yuan focused on removing the deep purple scales from the Mistjaw Beast's body. These scales were quite valuable; their Enhancement Level reached 6897. Under normal circumstances, only with the Ghost Spear could Lin Yuan penetrate their defenses; his Giant Blade would merely make a ringing sound upon impact.
In truth, the only weak spot on this Mistjaw Beast was around its eye sockets.
The deep purple scales were difficult to cut through, especially since they were as large as an adult's head. After quite some time of effort, he managed to remove only a handful of them.
However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry; after all, there were thirty days for the Monthly Assessment, and he was not worried about delays at all! Unfortunately, during this Monthly Assessment, the Five-Dimensional Key Space was also sealed off. Otherwise, it would have been much simpler to directly access the Five-Dimensional Key Space.
But as it turned out, when luck was at its peak at one moment, it would surely decline the next. Lin Yuan had barely removed a few dozen scales from the corpse of the Mistjaw Beast when the bloody scent attracted other silicon-based creatures.
Initially, two Big-Mouthed Crows appeared, which seemed to feed on carrion. Lin Yuan didn't actually know what they were called, so he simply named them himself. These two Big-Mouthed Crows were as large as calves, and their mouths resembled giant scissors in the hands of an Exterminator Master, evoking very unpleasant associations.
Fortunately, these two Big-Mouthed Crows did not dare to approach at first. However, soon after, a dozen Carnivorous Creatures came running in. They were as large as elephants, with sharp teeth and claws. Without courtesy, they immediately challenged Lin Yuan's territory.
Whenever Lin Yuan launched an attack against them, they nimbly fled. In short, whenever Lin Yuan chased them, they would escape; when he returned, they would charge again—a classic guerrilla tactic!
In this tug-of-war situation, Lin Yuan found himself helpless. Eventually, he and those creatures each occupied their own side. After all, Lin Yuan wanted scales while they were after meat; both sides had their needs. As for any other value in the flesh and blood of the Mistjaw Beast, he had no idea. Without the Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia, he relied solely on his own knowledge.
This balance lasted for a while until a spear broke the tranquility.
The spear was crude and appeared to be made of bone but was vicious enough to pin down a silicon-based beast that Lin Yuan had named Wild Wolf right in place. The other Wild Wolves seemed to see their father and fled in terror. Almost simultaneously, three more spears shot towards Lin Yuan.
At that moment, he clearly saw that it was a group of primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians—relatives of Fat Three!
"Damn..." (To be continued...)
