Chapter 85 Ruthless and Overbearing
Without hesitation, Li Hao put the evolution stone into his mouth.
The evolution stone melted instantly upon entering the mouth, flowing down the throat like a warm liquid, and then—boom!
It felt as if a ball of fire exploded in my chest.
That intense energy didn't gently permeate; instead, it violently washed over every blood vessel, every muscle, and every bone.
Li Hao could clearly sense that his cells were greedily absorbing this energy, like parched, cracked earth welcoming sweet rain.
The biofield instinctively unfolds and expands outward at an astonishing speed.
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and eighty meters, two hundred meters... until it slowly stopped when it was close to two hundred and thirty meters.
The phantom panel of the implanted intelligent brain unit automatically appeared:
[Voice energy assessment in progress...]
Bioenergy intensity ≈ 352 - 366 standard units
[Compared to previous data: an improvement of approximately 3.2%]
[Strength Level Assessment: Level 3 (Mid-High)]
[The main energy structure has been detected to be stabilizing; breaking through to level 4 requires more high-quality energy sources or a special opportunity.]
"good."
Li Hao opened his eyes and clenched his fists.
He could clearly feel the leap in power.
It's not a doubling surge, but a refinement of both quality and quantity.
Every punch and every sprint will be more refined and more efficient than yesterday.
Zhao Meng glanced at the giant turtle's corpse and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to go back?"
"No need." Li Hao turned around, his gaze passing over the pile of giant armored tortoise remains, and landing on the distant forest that was faintly visible in the morning mist. "Today, we'll take down at least two."
He paused, then turned to look at Yingyue: "Yingyue."
"Master." Yingyue bowed respectfully.
"Have some people move this giant turtle carcass back to the community first," Li Hao said, pointing towards the direction of the ape territory.
"Yes, Master."
Yingyue immediately directed the natives to have dozens of native slaves carry out the transport.
Monkey Forest
10:00 AM.
Zhang Xiaonan hovered above the edge of the forest, her mental power spreading out like radar, reporting to Li Hao below:
"The Ape King is on the largest ironwood tree on the main peak, surrounded by at least thirty elite guards."
The monkey troop is larger than yesterday; a rough estimate is... over three hundred.
Li Hao stood at the front of the team, followed by Li Wen, Zhao Meng, Zhang Xiaonan, and the female team members.
Below, Shadowmoon led dozens of slaves, fully armed and ready to go.
"The plan remains unchanged."
Li Hao's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him clearly.
"Xiaonan and Zhao Meng, you are responsible for sealing off both sides of the main peak to prevent the Ape King from escaping."
Awen, you're in charge of clearing out the monkey horde on the outskirts.
He flexed his wrist, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound.
"Leave the Ape King to me."
"Set off."
Without any further encouragement, Li Hao's figure suddenly blurred.
The sonic boom ripped through the silence of the forest.
On the tree canopy.
The Silverback Ape King crouched on a thick branch extending from the top of a giant tree, tearing open the abdomen of a mutated deer with its sharp claws, its black eyes lazily scanning its territory.
This is its kingdom, and no two-legged beast is allowed to invade it.
However, the next moment...
The long silver hair on the ape king's back suddenly burst open!
Instinct overwhelmed experience; before it could even roar in warning, its entire body rolled wildly to the left!
"Bang!!!"
The tree branch it had just been perched on, with a diameter of over one meter, shattered into countless fragments as if it had been struck by a giant hammer!
Wood chips flew like shrapnel, embedding themselves deeply into the surrounding tree trunks!
The Ape King twisted its body in mid-air, its black pupils reflecting the golden figure.
too fast.
The moment it landed, it exerted force with all four limbs, darting to the side while emitting a sharp, piercing roar.
A battle cry to rally the tribe!
But it only made a half-sound.
Li Hao's second strike has arrived.
This time it wasn't a heavy punch, but a horizontal swing of the right arm, like a battle blade.
Golden solar energy condensed into a blade as thin as a cicada's wing at his fingertips.
"laugh!"
A shrill scream as if the air was being torn apart.
A deep, bone-revealing wound suddenly burst open from the left shoulder to the ribs of the Ape King!
The silvery-white fur was instantly soaked in scarlet, and blue-purple blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Aww!!!"
The ape king finally let out a full scream, his voice filled with terror and disbelief.
It had never suffered such a severe blow, nor had it ever seen such terrifying speed.
That was a brutal aesthetic of violence that completely transcended biological limits.
But as a level 3 mutated lord, its ferocity was fully unleashed at this moment.
The silver-white ape king's eyes were bloodshot, its fangs were exposed, and its claws had turned an abnormal bluish-black.
That's a sign that the corrosive toxins have accumulated to their maximum.
Instead of retreating, it lunged at Li Hao, its claws tearing through the wind and creating five almost visible black cracks!
The last thing it saw was Li Hao's calm eyes.
And gradually, as it came into view, a fist wreathed in faint golden flames.
"Thump!!!"
A dull, booming sound, like the beating of a drum.
The fist struck the ape king squarely in the forehead.
There was no crisp sound of shells shattering, but rather the muffled sound of bones cracking.
The Silverback Ape King's massive body flew backwards from the 50-meter-high treetop like a kite with a broken string, crashing into three giant trees in succession with a series of booms before finally embedding itself heavily in a rock wall, with cracks spreading like a spider web for hundreds of meters!
It let out a second scream.
The battle began, and the Silverback Ape King was killed in less than three seconds.
Below, clearing and harvesting are taking place in the woodland.
The battle was like a signal to ignite a powder keg, and the entire forest was in an uproar.
Countless mutated apes with purplish-black fur emerged from the tree canopy, rock crevices, and burrows.
It let out an angry and terrified scream.
They saw the silverback ape king killed, but instead of scattering, they became even more frenzied out of rage!
"die!"
Zhao Meng hovered ten meters in the air, his palms crackling with lightning. With each strike, a bolt of lightning shot out, accurately hitting the apes that were pouncing on his team members.
The smell of burning mixed with the stench of blood filled the air.
But his brow was furrowed.
Too much!
Dark shadows were rushing in from all directions!
"Li Wen! Three elites, twenty meters to the east!"
Zhang Xiaonan unleashed her full telekinetic power high in the air, serving not only as a fighter but also as a radar for the entire battlefield.
She had sweat on her forehead, but her voice remained calm.
"receive!"
Li Wen cut across like a shooting star.
He didn't have Li Hao's power to kill with a single blow, but his mobility was maximized at this moment.
He changed direction mid-air, kicked an elite ape away, and as he turned around, his right fist burst into flames, striking the opponent squarely in the face!
"Screech—!" The elite ape screamed as it plummeted to the ground.
More monkeys pounced on Li Wen.
Lacking practical combat experience, he fought and retreated, nearly having his back torn apart by a claw.
"Be careful!"
As Zhang Xiaonan's voice rang in his ears, Li Wen felt an invisible force pulling on his belt, forcibly shifting him three meters to the side.
A second later, at the spot where he had just been hovering, the claws of three elite apes crossed over each other.
Li Wen's back was covered in cold sweat.
Thanks.
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaonan said curtly.
Li Hao pulled the ape king's corpse out of the rock wall, took out a light green evolution stone, and then casually threw the corpse towards the slave team.
"Catch it and tie it securely."
He then turned around and headed towards the direction where the monkey troop was most concentrated.
Like a wild beast unleashed from its cage.
Rampantly overbearing.
If you get scratched, you'll die.
"Bang bang bang".
With each punch, a mutated monkey was sent flying, its body reduced to a corpse.
There were no unnecessary movements or dazzling lighting effects.
It was simply a precise, efficient, and indifferent massacre.
Five minutes later, the monkey troop completely collapsed.
Six minutes later, all the mutated apes let out mournful cries. It was too late to retreat, and they all turned into corpses.
Li Wen, panting heavily, plopped down on the fallen leaves soaked in blue blood: "These monkeys have really tough skin."
Zhao Meng landed back on the ground, slightly out of breath.
The mutated monkey troop was too numerous and had been using lightning continuously, so his energy was almost depleted.
Zhang Xiaonan slowly descended, rubbing her temples.
Covering the entire area with her mental energy for ten minutes is a huge mental burden, but she was in much better condition than the others.
Li Hao commanded the crowd and slaves, "Split open their heads and obtain the evolution stones."
"yes!"
Zhao Meng and the slaves responded and moved.
The blade cleaved open the forehead, revealing a glittering spot the size of a fingernail.
"Clang clang clang".
Zhao Meng and Li Wen struggled a bit with the splitting, but they managed to split it open.
The slaves were not strong enough; apart from Shadowmoon, the other slaves were unable to split open the heads of these mutated monkeys.
It's just that my forehead is too hard.
Half an hour later, the harvest was tallied:
Silverback Ape King Evolution Stone x1.
It is naturally a Tier 3 evolution stone.
33 Level 2 Evolution Stones.
337 Level 1 Evolution Stones.
Many Tier 1 evolution stones have a few strands of light blue.
"Awen, take it." Li Hao tossed the Level 3 Evolution Stone to Li Wen.
"Haha." Li Wen laughed loudly and happily threw it into his mouth.
"Here you go." Li Hao threw another level-two blue evolution stone at Zhao Meng, Zhang Xiaonan, and the female team member.
"Thank you, Captain." The female team member said immediately as she took the evolution stone.
Her eyes narrowed with joy.
After all, she hadn't actually contributed anything along the way, so she didn't expect to get a level 2 evolution stone.
This is a level 2 evolution stone.
They made a fortune.
After receiving the evolution stones, Zhang Xiaonan and Zhao Meng consumed them without hesitation.
My body is completely empty now, and it's time to recover.
Li Hao turned to Yingyue and ordered, "You guys carry all these mutated monkey corpses back to the community first."
"Yes, Master."
Shadowmoon directed the other slaves to quickly clean up the battlefield and tie up the mutated monkey corpses with ropes.
