24: Evolve again!
Just as Commander Xu was wondering and felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar, he witnessed a shocking scene.
The six E-rank ferocious beasts fled in a panic, as if they would die if they ran any slower, completely devoid of their previous arrogance and dominance.
At this moment, in Commander Xu's eyes, these six E-rank ferocious beasts did not look like E-rank ferocious beasts at all, but rather like lambs to the slaughter.
Commander Xu looked up at the sky, and an enormous figure blocked the sun. The next moment, six dark figures separated from that figure.
Each dark figure transformed into a giant Golden Eagle with a wingspan exceeding ten meters, splitting into six directions and chasing after the six ferocious beasts.
Afterward, those ferocious beasts, which were powerful enough to be invincible in the eyes of Commander Xu and his companions, were caught up and instantly killed by the six Golden Eagles, falling to the ground one after another.
Powerful!
Dominant!
At this moment, the figure, having absorbed the six Golden Eagles, soared in the sky, appearing so tall and despair-inducing in the eyes of Commander Xu and the others.
The next instant, countless wind blades descended from the sky, and with each falling wind blade, an F-rank ferocious beast fell dead.
Commander Xu was so shocked that he felt somewhat numb.
He had originally thought that by using the Gene Serum and gaining F-rank power, they had also become superhumans, becoming strong.
But only now did he realize that in front of true powerhouses, they were merely ants.
If this figure were to attack them, it wouldn't even need to act personally; a single wind blade could easily take care of them!
Commander Xu raised his hand to block the sun, and then he clearly saw that figure.
A Golden Eagle!
He recognized it!
He had seen it many times.
It was precisely because he recognized it that he was even more alarmed.
One must know that through these few encounters, Commander Xu had clearly felt that the Golden Eagle's strength improved by leaps and bounds each time!
Previously, fighting an E-rank ferocious beast still required it to act personally, engaging in a back-and-forth battle, but now, E-rank ferocious beasts could be dealt with by just sending out a clone.
Just how strong was this Golden Eagle?
Lu Yu naturally wouldn't know the shock in Commander Xu's heart.
After he finished the battle on the mountain and collected the spoils, he remembered the stragglers who had escaped down the mountain, so he hurried to search for them, originally thinking that by now those ferocious beasts would have scattered and he wouldn't find many.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Yu came down the mountain, he found a ground full of ferocious beast corpses and large craters from explosions. Lu Yu then understood that after these ferocious beasts were forced down the mountain, they unexpectedly started fighting with humans.
A surprised Lu Yu then witnessed a series of operations by Commander Xu and the others. He originally wanted to see the quality of the first generation of super-soldiers developed by humans in this life, but he hadn't watched for long before five people became three, and they were surrounded by E-rank ferocious beasts, clearly having no way out.
Lu Yu, having no more show to watch, didn't bother to waste any more time and directly took action, incidentally trying out his new skill:
Chidori!
Upon his first use, Lu Yu manifested a total of six clones, each possessing strength comparable to his main body.
These clones, facing the E-rank ferocious beasts that had long been scared out of their wits by him, instantly killed them without any effort, which made Lu Yu feel somewhat uninspired.
After eliminating all the ferocious beasts, Lu Yu directly used the panel to plunder. Soon, the mountain of corpses turned into ashes and disappeared, and Lu Yu's panel gained 301 evolution points, bringing his total evolution points to a grand total of 1109 points!
Exceeding 1000 points!
He could completely advance to C-rank!
The excited Lu Yu completely ignored Commander Xu and the others' gratitude, turning directly back to the mountaintop.
After this delay, upon returning to the mountaintop, Lu Yu found that Little White Fox had already finished eating the wild boar meat. Although she hadn't evolved to D-rank, her aura had noticeably become stronger.
Seeing Lu Yu return, Little White Fox excitedly came over and rubbed against Lu Yu, sticking close to him.
Lu Yu was in a great mood, patted Little White Fox's head, then grabbed Little White Fox and flew into the sky. After a simple judgment of direction and sensing the surrounding auras, Lu Yu chose a tall mountain and flew towards it at high speed.
At this moment, Lu Yu had not only obtained a third-grade spirit fruit but also accumulated the 1000 points required for evolution. Whether he used the spirit fruit to evolve or directly used the points to evolve, Lu Yu was 100% confident in evolving to C-rank.
So he was already impatient to evolve.
However, this evolution could not be taken lightly. According to his understanding and previous evolution experiences, evolution was not an overnight process, like directly adding points and breaking through to C-rank on the spot.
For evolution to succeed, it would definitely require time, especially now that he was evolving to C-rank, the time needed would likely be considerable. Therefore, Lu Yu planned to find a safe place to evolve.
The direction he was currently heading not only had a tall mountain, allowing him to have a relatively quiet environment—after all, ordinary ferocious beasts wouldn't idly climb high—but also had the lowest spiritual energy fluctuations in that direction, indicating that there were no powerful ferocious beasts, making it an excellent place for evolution.
As the saying goes, 'looking at a mountain can exhaust a horse,' and although Lu Yu was a Golden Eagle and could fly with his wings, it still took him a full two days to reach this mountain peak.
Lu Yu casually hunted some unranked ferocious beasts, had a full meal, and after leaving enough food for Little White Fox, he took out the third-grade spirit fruit.
Time in the panel space seemed to be stopped, so the spirit fruit at this moment appeared as if it had just been placed there, with no spiritual energy dissipating at all.
Lu Yu looked at the spirit fruit in front of him, his heart excited, then opened his mouth and ate the spirit fruit.
This spirit fruit truly lived up to its name as a heaven-defying treasure. The moment it entered his mouth, it transformed into a massive surge of spiritual energy, spreading throughout Lu Yu's entire body. Lu Yu noticed that this spiritual energy had already begun to transform his body, so he quickly focused his mind, and without even having time to instruct Little White Fox, he entered a state of evolution.
Little White Fox, seeing the spirit fruit reappear, couldn't help but drool, but she knew in her heart and didn't have any bad thoughts.
Instead, seeing Lu Yu consume the spirit fruit, she understood that Lu Yu was about to begin his evolution, so she straightened her body, turned her back to Lu Yu, and vigilantly watched all parts of the cliff, diligently guarding Lu Yu to prevent any ferocious beasts from disturbing his evolution... Time rewound to two days ago.
After Lu Yu left gracefully, Commander Xu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Lu Yu had not shown any hostility towards them, his strength was too immense, and his aura was too overwhelming, making them afraid to even breathe, fearing that a wrong move would provoke Lu Yu.
After Lu Yu left, Commander Xu finally recovered, personally collecting the bodies of the two fallen superhuman warriors with a sorrowful expression, then personally led his men up the mountain peak.
Seeing the current state of the mountaintop, everyone gasped.
At this moment, the mountaintop was a mess, with traces of battle everywhere. Preliminary estimates suggested that the aftershocks of the battle on the mountaintop were even stronger than the heavy firepower bombardment down the mountain!
The battle of D-rank ferocious beasts was actually this powerful!
