Chapter 51: Strange Beast Whip-Tailed Crocodile

  In contrast to Zhou's enthusiasm, Jin Liang and Zheng Nan exchanged a glance at Sun Yan, both of their faces showing disdain. As members of the elite department, they felt it was beneath them to be in the same carriage as a student from an ordinary department.

  That young man, Lin Tianwang, was expressionless from start to finish. He was like a transparent person, completely ignoring everything around him, and everything around him also ignored him.

  The alloy armored vehicle came to a smooth stop, the carriage opened, and Sun Yan and others walked down. A winding mountain path was not far away, presumably this was the 7777th mountain road.

  The special forces soldiers saluted first, didn't say much, and drove away in their alloy armored vehicle.

  Five people stood at the foot of the mountain, Jin Liangliang and Zheng Nan exchanged a glance, both with a challenging mood in their eyes, without saying a word, they quickly rushed up the mountain path and soon disappeared into the dense forest.

  Lin Tianwang held a military battle knife, walking at a steady pace, he didn't know what kind of body method or combat skill he was using. It seemed like his speed was very slow, but in just a moment, he had traversed several hundred meters and disappeared into the end of the small path.

  Sun Yan glanced at Zhou Zhihao, and before he could speak, the latter had already slipped out, waving his hand without looking back: "Brother Sun, let's have a competition to see who reaches the finish line first. The loser will treat the other to dinner!"

  "None of these people are willing to give in to each other! In order to compete for the top 20, they all went all out, but what's the use of Emperor Wind Academy's credits anyway?"

  Unlike others who were eager to get started, Sun Yan was not in a hurry. Because when the graduation exam ended, Teacher Dao said that after enrolling, he would be rewarded with an additional 500 academic credits.

  In comparison, the 10 credits reward for the outdoor speed trial seems insignificant. As for ranking in the top 20, Sun Yan didn't take it to heart; his past life trajectory was vastly different from these martial arts geniuses, and he liked everything to go at his own pace.

  "The time for wilderness survival training is 4 hours, the first day's time, finding monsters and strange beasts to fight, tempering combat skills, and rushing full force on the second day."

  Sun Yan made a plan for himself for the next two days. His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and in just over a month's time, what he lacked most was actual combat experience. The wild beasts and fierce beasts distributed in Wandaoshan were exactly at the level of second-class warriors, which was most suitable for him to practice his skills now.

  The general put on his boxing gloves and combat suit, Sun Yan took a stride, and stepped onto the entrance of the 7777th mountain path.

  ……

  The sun sets in the west, and the mountains are already dimly lit. The trees here are towering, with branches and leaves like a dense canopy, tightly connected, blocking out the sky and sunlight. Even during the day, visibility is not very wide.

  "In the previous description of Guang Brain, Wandoushan was inhabited by dozens of secondary intensity beasts and alien beasts, as well as several rare aggressive plants. How come now, not even a ghost shadow is seen?"

  In the forest, Sun Yan walked slowly and silently among the trees, his feet as light as cotton, walking on the ground covered with leaves without making a sound. This was the embodiment of "Wind Step" reaching perfection, when displayed, his body was like a gentle breeze sweeping the ground, reducing the sound of footsteps to an extremely fine degree.

  "It would be best if we could encounter a second-class exotic beast, that would be the ideal target for practice."

  Monsters and beasts have an essential difference between them.

  Since the beginning of the Galactic Age, with the expansion of interstellar colonization, more and more species have been discovered, many of which are incredibly powerful, far beyond human imagination. However, these powerful species were all formed through natural evolution.

  The emergence of the heteromorphic beasts completely violates the theory of natural evolution. During the war between the Human Alliance and the JW Alliance, the JW Alliance used various wild beasts to conduct horrific experiments, resulting in many terrifying biological weapons. This class of mutated species is called heteromorphic beasts by humans.

  Unlike beasts that have naturally evolved, most of the heteromorphic beasts are filled with bloodlust and aggressiveness, and possess various strange abilities.

  Among them, the most well-known alien beast is the JW Alliance's regular biological weapon - the Double-Sting Secret Snake. This mechanical secret snake has appeared countless times in many movies. Its metal short stinger on its head can instantly release a terrifying electric current and toxic liquid once it pierces the human body, causing a person to wither away instantly.

  Normally, it's extremely rare to encounter such terrifying creatures. Now on the planet of Domir, most of the beasts that are rampaging in the warning zones are failed products of the JW Alliance experiments.

  However, even if it's a defective product, compared to other beasts of the same rank, it is still much stronger and more ferocious.

  "Something's going on!"

  In the shade of the forest, Sun Yan's eyes locked onto a point, and with a faint ray of light, he saw that behind that piece of forest, several large trees seemed to have broken off and fallen to the ground.

  The trees on Wanda Mountain are extremely tall and sturdy, with trunks that require four people to encircle. Yet several of these towering trees have snapped and fallen to the ground, indicating that something is amiss in that area.

  In the blink of an eye, a long shadow slowly crawled out from behind that forest. The shadow was over ten meters long, but it moved with an extremely small sound, and the leaves on the ground made a faint rustling sound.

  The next moment, with Sun Yan's eyesight, he saw clearly this strange beast.

  This is a 12-meter-long ferocious beast, with the head resembling a giant alligator, but having a body that does not match its huge head. Its long body is like a snake's, covered in thick scales, and its four limbs are stuck to the ground, crawling like a snake. Its tail is three meters long, like an iron whip, constantly pounding the ground.

  "Whip-tailed alligator! A second-class mutant beast!" Sun Yan recognized this ferocious creature, a second-class mutant beast he was quite familiar with.

  Before the age of 8, Sun Yan lived with his father in the suburbs of Luoshan City, where it was close to the warning zone and strange beasts often appeared at night. Once, the father and son encountered a whip-tailed alligator. At that time, the strange beast had been seriously injured, but they were still chased and fled everywhere, almost becoming its abdominal meal.

  But times have changed, and I am no longer what I used to be.

  Clutching the alloy fist guard, Sun Yan stood still on the spot, as steady as a mountain, and stared at the icy yellow eyeballs of this whip-tailed alligator, with a provocative color in his eyes.

  Bang!

  The alligator's tail whipped back and forth, striking a nearby tree with a loud thud. The tree creaked in protest as its trunk snapped, crashing to the ground.

  "What a powerful force! Just the impact of this tail is no less than that of a second-level warrior's full-force Perfect Whip." Sun Yan calculated in his heart.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  The alligator's head slightly raised, rolling out its long tongue, and let out a hissing sound like a snake. Immediately, the tail of this alligator, as hard as steel whip, slapped the ground, and its 12-meter-long body shot out, carrying a stench, and swooped towards Sun Yan with a whooshing sound.

  In mid-air, the alligator's blood basin-like huge mouth was wide open, with a length of over 2 meters between the upper and lower jaws, capable of swallowing a person alive. The sharp teeth, each as long as a foot, emitted a chilling cold light in the dim light.

  This sudden attack, if it were someone unfamiliar with the whip-tailed alligator, would probably be caught off guard and flustered. However, Sun Yan still remembered this strange beast's attack vividly.

  Whoosh!

  The whip-tailed alligator swooped down, Sun Yan's body slightly moved, and he took the "Chase Wind Step", already flashing to the side of this strange beast. He didn't launch an attack, but instead stretched out his hands to the sides and suddenly grasped.

  Bang!

  In the darkness, a whip-like shadow flashed by, but was caught by Sun Yan's hands, producing a muffled sound.

  This is the way the alligator attacks, while tearing and biting in mid-air, its iron tail is the real killer move. Once swept by that tail, even a second-level warrior would likely be cut in two.

  "What a powerful impact!"

  Sun Shuang's shoulders shook, and he activated the "Dragon Stabilizer", firmly stabilizing his body. He took a step forward, dragging the alligator-like creature as he ran.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  Caught by the tail, the alligator suddenly became anxious and kept twisting its long snake-like body, wanting to turn its head and bite. However, Sun Yan ran faster and faster, and just as it lifted its head, it was dragged back down to the ground again.

  Dragging this giant monster, Sun Yan ran for nearly a thousand meters before he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His internal energy went into overdrive as he channeled it into his arms.

  "Cheers!"

  With a loud roar, Sun Yan's arms suddenly exerted force, lifting the alligator from behind and swinging it in an arc in mid-air, heavily slamming it forward.

  He swiftly turned his body and once again lifted up this second-grade mutant beast, slamming it back down.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  In the woods, a shocking heavy blow sounded. Sun Yan swung the tail of the crocodile whip, as if swinging a giant long whip, constantly slapping the ground back and forth, causing the earth to shake violently, leaves flying everywhere.

  Bang!

  When he swung to the 20th blow, Sun Yan's hands loosened, and this whip-tailed alligator flew out, hitting a tree trunk, with its sharp teeth embedded in the trunk.

  The tree shook violently, and the alligator slid slowly off the tree, its teeth scraping off a layer of bark.

  "Ah......" Sun Yan's forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, he let out a long sigh and exclaimed: "Refreshing! So refreshing!"

  Sitting on the ground, Sun Yan took out a bottle of nutrient solution and drank two or three mouthfuls, recovering his severely depleted physical strength and internal energy.

  After adjusting his breath for a while, Sun Yan suddenly jumped up, with an excited look on his face: "Indeed, as I expected, through real combat, the improvement of martial skills and internal yuan is the most obvious."

  The battle with the whip-tailed alligator just now made Sun Yan feel that his inner yuan had a thread of improvement, and the inner yuan in his dantian was surging, as if there was a hidden tendency to burst out. It is estimated that it will not be long before he breaks through to become a third-level warrior.

  This is not the most exciting thing, what makes Sun Yan feel surprised is that the stagnant "Dragon Pole" at the initial stage has also made some progress after a big swing.

  Compared to Nei Yuan's progress, Sun Yan was most troubled by the slow cultivation speed of the Turtle Speed.

  After a moment of contemplation, Sun Yan's gaze shifted and fell on the crocodile corpse. He walked forward, grabbed the tail of the beast, and suddenly felt his shoulders sink, "It's so heavy! Perhaps this method is very suitable for cultivating [Dragon Subduing Pillar]."

  He exerted himself to lift the corpse of the alligator, slung its tail over his shoulder, and Sun Yan dragged the carcass of this strange beast, slowly disappearing into the depths of the forest.
