Chapter 669: From War to Hunting

“The Apocalyptic Beast is down!”

“Harvest the freshest ingredients!”

“Blood, flesh, bones, organs, nerves, brain! Don’t miss out on any of them!”

Agricultural University had the best harvesters in all of Dragon City.

However, the harvesters were usually rather weak, and they were easily affected by chaotic spirit energy radiation and rampaging shockwaves.

That was why they hid on the other side of the mountain range and relied on the bomb shelters that were dug spontaneously to fend against the impact of the Apocalyptic Beast and the Deity Realm superhuman when they fought.

Li Yingzi fired a signal into the sky again to signal the harvesters on the other side of the mountain to move quickly so that they could get the spoils of war.

Before they arrived, Meng Chao and the lecturers had already harvested the softest parts that also became bad the easiest, all so to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.

The moment Apocalyptic Beasts died, their vitality magnetic fields would gradually be destroyed. Their flesh and bones lost their support, and cracking sounds would come out of their bodies, showing that they could no longer withstand the humans’ weapons cutting into them.

To a certain extent, these large monsters were easier to harvest compared to monsters that were one to two meters long.

After all, their organs were also larger, which meant that humans could swing their harvesting tools as they pleased.

Besides, the sturdiness of their organs was also far greater than normal monsters. There were no thin epithelial cells that would break down the moment they touched it.

Meng Chao himself was a martial artist and harvester.

His harvesting skills were even greater than his tutor and tutoress.

He did not pass on his calling. He swung Golden Tooth Saber and dissected the Demonic Mountain’s spine.

Before the experts from the resource course arrived, he had already perfectly extracted the nerve bundle, which was dozens of meters long.

Of course, he was also familiar with the tutors from the resource course.

White-haired Ghostly Hands Ning Shewo was also a friend who watched him grow into power.

When Ning Shewo saw Meng Chao crawl out of the Demonic Mountain’s body while covered in blood, he was first stunned before he started laughing.

With Meng Chao joining them, this grand lineup that could be said to be the perfect harvesting team became much more effective.

Even so, wanting to perfectly dissect this large monster that was nearly one hundred meters long still took them nearly one day and night, because they also had to store these materials and send them out of the valley.

Agricultural University and the Red Dragon Army worked together to mobilize a large number of armored airships and engineering squads that set up temporary airports, gantry cranes, and cold storages in the valley.

Each armored airship was filled to the brim with the Apocalyptic Beast’s flesh and blood. When they flew, they swayed and looked like they were about to plummet at any second.

But Meng Chao ignored this and went into the Demonic Mountain’s stomach to cut it up.

For a whole twenty-four hours, he was immersed in the Apocalyptic Beast’s blood, bone essence, cerebrospinal fluid, and organs. He was nourished by rich and powerful spirit energy, and it was highly beneficial for his cultivation.

Hell’s Blood might be fierce, but it was not as fierce as an Apocalyptic Beast’s blood.

Meng Chao could sense that the Demonic Mountain’s blood seemed to have suppressed and digested the Hell’s Blood in his body.

The bone essence and cerebrospinal fluid contained really powerful radiation, and it seemed to be subtly transforming his vitality magnetic field.

In fact, while he was harvesting, he sat down cross-legged beside the Demonic Mountain’s large heart and quietly meditated while activating Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash’s spirit energy magnetic fields.

Even though the Demonic Mountain’s heart had already stopped pulsating, some parts of its fierce soul still remained in his heart, and it was pulsating in an unimaginable method.

As Meng Chao’s spirit energy magnetic field and the remaining vitality magnetic field left behind in the Demonic Mountain resonated subtly, this fierce soul was transferred into Meng Chao’s brain in a profound method.

Any other normal superhuman would definitely enter spirit energy deviation and have their minds break if they used this method to cultivate.

However, Meng Chao’s will had already been refined by the real apocalypse, there was no need for him to be afraid of the fragmented soul of an Apocalyptic Beast.

When they finally cut up the large Apocalyptic Beast and harvested it to the point that it was just an empty skeleton, Meng Chao slowly walked out from the skeleton. He felt that he had gone through another transformation compared to the point when he just left the lair.

The Hell’s Blood that originally solidified in his blood refused to listen to him, and was only barely suppressed in him had also slowly started flowing in his veins. They let out loud splashes in him.

The fragmented soul of the Demonic Mountain was like the general of the Hell’s Blood. It led the wild power to make them perfectly blend with Meng Chao’s vitality magnetic field.

This feeling was extremely comfortable to Meng Chao.

It was as if he was really in control of a monster army made of countless Hell Beasts.

He should not be far away from becoming a five-star superhuman, right?

At the very least, with how much spirit energy was accumulated in him, he should already be way past the maximum spirit energy levels belonging to five-star superhumans, and the amount of spirit energy should allow him to compete with those at the peak of Heaven Realm.

Besides, he also had additional benefits.

Going together with his tutors to cut the Apocalyptic Beast with his dean had indeed brought him great benefits.

Joining the fight against the Demonic Mountain and harvesting the Apocalyptic Beast had brought Meng Chao 55,000 contribution points.

Plus, he was always eager to take advantage of the situation, so without hesitation, he split his contribution points into two portions to increase the Skillfulness level of Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash.

As his Skillfulness level kept increasing, Meng Chao heard his bones let out thunderous, popping sounds. His organs let out a dragon’s roar, and his nerve endings were numb. He could now instinctively do plenty of profound and subtle movements.

If Jin Wanhao (A’Ji), the creator of Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash were here and saw his movements, he would definitely be dumbfounded and have his jaw hang slack, because he would be unable to figure out how Meng Chao managed to reach a specialist level for Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash within just a short few days.

‘If I want to become stronger, I’ll definitely have to kill more Apocalyptic Beasts!’

Meng Chao felt greed rise in him. He wanted to look for more Apocalyptic Beasts and see whether he could step in and take advantage of the situation.

Even if he was just cheering for the Deity Realm superhumans by the side, he might be able to get a few ten thousand contribution points.

“Unfortunately” for him, the battlefield kept sending in good news.

Dragon Citizens’ strategy to lure the enemies deep into their lines before surrounding them had worked.

Aside from three Apocalyptic Beasts forcing their way out after they were heavily injured and fleeing into the places in Monster Mountain Range that had scarcely any resources, the other Apocalyptic Beasts were all killed or captured.

Since the Demonic Mountain was a large monster that moved slowly, they only had one Deity Realm superhuman—Black Tortoise Zong Yue—fight against it, but the main firepower was Huge Dragon’s Might Cannon.

The remaining Apocalyptic Beasts were around thirty to fifty meters, and they were much faster, so it was hard for the railway guns to lock down on them and kill them.

Hence, the command center usually sent three to five Deity Realm superhumans to surround and attack one Apocalyptic Beast.

The humans used the interior lines strategy to fight.

That was why their mobilization of forces and transfer of battlefield information was much faster than the monster civilization.

With the advantage of information and time lag, the humans could rely on their steel defense lines and their Deity Realm superhumans to hold back the Apocalyptic Beasts, but they had to mobilize between a few to more than ten Deity Realm superhumans to surround and attack the Apocalyptic Beasts that were separated from their groups.

Over the past two years, Dragon City had a lot of resources, and they continuously cultivated more warriors and superhumans.

It caused the Deity Realm superhumans who were already standing at the peak of human evolution to improve further, and they kept on overcoming the limits of life.

Meanwhile, most of the Apocalyptic Beasts had to suffer from hunger because they lacked resources, and their fighting strength plummeted.

As one side grew stronger and the other grew weaker, there was no doubt as to who would win the war.

Seven of the tutors in Dragon City University’s martial arts course worked together and set up an ambush at Cloud Contact Mountain, a mountain located southwest of Dragon City. Then, they used a transportation armored airship to serve as bait to lure out and kill a flying Apocalyptic Beast called Golden Heaven Charging Eagle to defend the dignity of Dragon City University’s martial arts course and the Overkill Style.

The Deity Realm superhuman in the Red Dragon Army was a man named Thunder God Shao Zhengyang. Together with five other elites in the Red Dragon Army, they fought against the last Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon in Monster Mountain Range and used iron fists that were even stronger than nuclear bombs to tear these sturdy Apocalyptic Beasts into shreds.

The wails from the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon were the Red Dragon Army’s declaration.

From this moment on, the Red Dragon Army’s top fighting strength would not lose to any of the mega corporations or universities. With the steel army that was formed by thousands of united soldiers, they had more authority to decide the future development of Dragon City.

The veteran elites from the mega corporations refused to show weakness.

Even Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation, who were competitors whose markets overlapped with each other, worked together to kill a few Apocalyptic Beasts together. They also went about expanding their territory and occupying a few mines rich with spirit energy.

When Meng Chao finished harvesting, the offense of the monster civilization was completely destroyed, and there was no way for them to turn the tides around. They lost.

Once they lost the Apocalyptic Beasts’ lead and no longer had these creatures intimidating them, the monster horde collapsed entirely. Hundreds upon thousands of monsters fled in all directions due to their desire to survive.

Speaking of which, it was not wrong to say that even if these monsters were a few hundred thousand pigs, they would still need three days and three nights to capture them.

The collapsed monster horde was much more difficult to capture than a collapsed human army.

After all, monsters did not know how to give up, and once they became desperate, they would show surprising destructive abilities as well.

Due to the need to save up on ammunition and train up their grassroots units as well as the hope that the carcasses would not rot away because they did not want to waste resources as well as pollute the environment, the Red Dragon Army did not bombard the scattered monster horde.

The battle would still last for a long time, but this time, it was no longer a battle, but a relaxing hunt.

Meng Chao rode in a stuffed armored airship to return behind the defense lines, and he saw the monsters running around everywhere.

Meanwhile, the humans swung their weapons and guns as they ran after them. They continuously chased after them, divided them, and slowly tore the scattered monster horde further into pieces.

Then, when the monsters were exhausted and started foaming at the mouth, their tendons and even joints were torn. They could only wail as they fell to the ground, and at that time, the humans calmly went forward to use capture nets to drag them away.

The scene was the same as when their ancestors started conquering Earth millions of years ago.
