Chapter 183: Pure numbers, pure joy!
Su Zhan severed the heads of the two and placed them to the side.
Fellow countrymen, borrowing your heads for a moment.
This was his merit, his assessment task.
Su Zhan came to the window and looked outside.
On the street, a thick, heavy smell of blood permeated the air.
The initial frenzied slaughter had already subsided.
The surviving screams and sounds of fleeing had long since completely vanished.
The scene was deathly silent.
Many Poison Frog Beasts seemed to have eaten and drunk their fill.
Their bloated bellies were even more distended.On some, one could vaguely see the outlines of undigested contents beneath their skin.
They lay sprawled right in the middle of the messy street or in corners, resting their massive claws on their swollen bellies.
The terrifying fissure on their torsos opened and closed slightly.
Thick drool mixed with blood streaks continuously dripped from between their teeth.
Their single, turbid eye was half-closed, appearing lazy and sluggish.
Others were still crawling tirelessly.
Using their giant claws to sift through the wreckage of shattered vehicles and collapsed stalls.
Or using their long tongues to lick the bloodstains that had already congealed and turned black on the ground and walls, trying to find any possible overlooked survivors.
Su Zhan roughly assessed the strength of the opposition.
Most were at Low-risk Tenth Tier.
After two months, the Mist creatures had gone from a maximum of Low-risk Eighth Tier last time to now commonly being Low-risk Tenth Tier.
So fast.
However...
This suited him just fine.
Su Zhan flicked the blood droplets off his blade.
The next moment.
His figure blurred.
He shot out from the broken back door like an arrow from a bow, actively charging into the monster horde!
Target locked: the nearest Poison Frog Beast!
The monster had just smashed a corpse with its giant claw, the fissure on its torso opening as it prepared to scoop the pieces into its mouth.
Su Zhan had already closed in silently!
Time Abyss Pupil, activate!
The monster's movements instantly became slow and clumsy in his eyes.
Su Zhan pushed off with his feet, the ground cracking slightly as his body shot out like a cannonball, his speed skyrocketing!
After closing the distance.
A nimble sideslip avoided the pale giant claw that instinctively swung toward him.
Twin blades crossed, a cold gleam flashed!
Thud! Thud!
Two strikes landed in the same spot.
Right at the edge of the fissure lined with sharp teeth, below that single turbid eye!
That seemed to be its relatively vulnerable spot!
The blades sank in, dark green viscous blood spraying out!
"Gurgle ugh—!"
The Poison Frog Beast let out a strange, pained screech.
Its massive body convulsed violently, the fissure madly opening and closing, its long tongue flailing wildly.
Su Zhan showed no desire to prolong the fight; having succeeded with one strike, he instantly retreated far away.
Avoiding the giant claw slam from another Poison Frog Beast that had been alerted and pounced over.
Su Zhan weaved through the ruins.
The self-acceleration effect made him like a ghost.
Often, he would evade just before the monster's attack landed and retaliate with a fierce blade flash!
Su Zhan did not directly confront those terrifyingly powerful giant claws.
Instead, he specifically sought opportunities to attack their weak points: their eyes, the inside of the fissure, joint connections, and so on.
"Swish!"
A blade flash gleamed.
A Poison Frog Beast's single eye was precisely pierced.
Dark yellow pus exploded out.
The monster spun wildly on the spot, its giant claws flailing indiscriminately, even accidentally injuring a fellow beast nearby.
"Schlick!"
Another blade arc swept past.
A Poison Frog Beast that was just shooting out its long tongue had its tongue severed clean off at the root, falling to the ground and writhing madly.
The monster emitted a piercing shriek.
Su Zhan constantly moved using the terrain, pulling and stretching the monsters' formation, breaking them down one by one.
The street, originally a hunting ground, now saw roles reversed.
The hunters had become the hunted.
The slaughterers were being mercilessly cleared out!
...
In a dark room.
Su Zhan sat cross-legged.
That boiling aberrant power within his body.
Now broke through an invisible critical point, abruptly undergoing a qualitative leap!
A force far more violent and profound than before surged from the deepest part of his body, instantly sweeping through his limbs and bones!
Su Zhan grunted.
His body underwent drastic changes uncontrollably!
Dense, pitch-black scales rapidly spread like a tide, covering every inch of his skin.
The nails on his hands grew wildly, becoming sharp like hooks.
A thick, powerful tail burst out from his tailbone, a casual flick creating a sharp sound of splitting air.
His head was also covered in fine scales, his facial features becoming sharper, his pupils contracting into cold vertical slits, his teeth turning pale and sharp.
Medium-risk, here!
Su Zhan clearly felt that the gray-white mist in the distance seemed to resonate with him in a strange way!
He swung his arm.
A gray-white, mist-like energy naturally emanated from the gaps between the scales covering his body, quickly enveloping him entirely.
Making him look as if shrouded in a flowing veil of mist.
A moment of understanding naturally surfaced in his mind.
Mist Energy.
He had grasped part of Its authority.
And could use it to perform short-distance teleportation within mist environments!
Furthermore, he could borrow the power of the mist to enhance his combat strength!
Time to test the results then.
Su Zhan swaggered right out onto the main street.
A Poison Frog Beast seemed enraged by this sudden terrifying aura and let out a roar.
Its massive pale claw slammed down toward Su Zhan's head with the force of a thousand jun!
Su Zhan didn't dodge or evade at all!
He didn't even make any blocking move, just stood coldly in place.
"BOOM!!!"
A heavy, explosive sound erupted!
The giant claw capable of crushing armor.
Solidly struck Su Zhan's head, covered in scales and Mist Energy!
But...
Su Zhan's head dipped slightly, the ground at his feet collapsing into a shallow crater, cracks spreading.
But he himself, didn't move an inch!
Not even his neck bent!
Instead, the Poison Frog Beast's claw was thrown back high by the recoil, the claw tips even cracking in several places, dark green blood seeping out!
The Poison Frog Beast's single eye showed an emotion resembling "confused bewilderment".
Su Zhan slowly raised his head, his cold vertical pupils locking onto the opponent.
This was the suppression power of a whole major realm.
Pure stats, pure joy!
The next second, he moved!
His sharp claw, arriving later but striking first, moved at a speed that simply couldn't be captured by the naked eye, directly grabbing the wrist of the Poison Frog Beast's giant claw that hadn't yet retracted!
Then, a fierce pull!
"RIIIP—!"
The entire massive pale claw was torn straight off the monster's body by him!
Dark green blood gushed out like a waterfall!
The Poison Frog Beast let out an extremely piercing, agonized shriek!
Su Zhan casually tossed the still-twitching severed claw aside.
His other sharp claw had already shot out like lightning, directly plunging into the open, tooth-lined fissure on the Poison Frog Beast's torso!
Five fingers clenched together!
A fierce pull outward!
"SPLURTCH—!"
A large mass of mangled flesh mixed with broken teeth, mucus, and unknown tissue was ripped out by him!
The Poison Frog Beast's shriek cut off abruptly.
Its massive body convulsed violently once.
Crashed to the ground, deader than dead.
Su Zhan shook the filth off his sharp claws, his gaze turning toward the other Poison Frog Beasts that had been alerted.
