20: Triple strength, one punch to kill!

The Black Scaled Python's hiss startled Lin Qianqian awake.

She saw its massive serpentine body thrashing wildly, scales scraping against the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The next moment, from the rising dust, a long tail covered in dark green scales whipped out with a whoosh.

The strong wind it generated bent all the surrounding bushes, and with a crash, it slammed heavily into the ground!

In an instant, gravel shot out like rain, and a several-meter-long gully appeared on the ground.

"Su Lei!"

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but shriek, her heart instantly leaping into her throat.

It wasn't until she saw Su Lei's dodging figure that she finally let out a sigh of relief.

The Black Scaled Python's vertical pupils glowed with even fiercer intent, and it opened its massive, blood-red mouth, biting down fiercely.

But it only grazed his clothes.

A few drops of venom splattered onto the ground, and with a "hiss," they corroded the rocks, creating black holes.

Lin Qianqian was speechless.

She wanted to help, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, heavy and immobile; she could only watch this life-and-death struggle.

With its attacks continuously missing, the Black Scaled Python's ferocity was also ignited.

Its nearly twenty-meter-long body coiled and wrapped around, attacking.

Wood chips flew everywhere it passed, and trees as thick as a man's embrace were snapped in half.

Su Lei moved swiftly, his figure like a ghost, weaving between the serpentine body.

Every dodge was precise to the millimeter; the Black Scaled Python couldn't even touch his clothes.

The fierce battle had lasted less than a minute, and the surroundings were already a mess.

There were deep craters everywhere, broken tree trunks lay scattered, and leaves from the canopies were still rustling down.

Su Lei's breathing gradually became heavier, but his eyes grew sharper.

This Black Scaled Python was incredibly strong, no weaker than a "Troll."

And its defense was even more astonishing.

Its entire body was covered in scales as hard as steel, coated with slippery mucus, which absorbed most of the force of every attack.

Judging by its nearly twenty-meter size, its vitality was probably surprisingly tenacious.

If he got into a prolonged battle and his physical strength was exhausted, he would surely die!

"I can only end this quickly."

Su Lei slowly exhaled, silently recalling the Thousand Layer Wave's force application techniques.

Although he had only studied that B-grade Martial Art for one night, in this situation...

It was enough!

After dodging another attack from the Black Scaled Python, his eyes narrowed, his leg muscles instantly tensed like a bow, and he launched himself up like a cannonball!

His entire body's Qi and blood boiled, surging like a rushing river and gathering in his right arm.

His muscles visibly expanded, veins bulged like coiling Dragons, and even tiny beads of blood seeped from his skin.

This punch seemed to carry immense power, slamming heavily towards the beast below!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Dull thuds rang out consecutively.

Three layers of force, like a tidal wave, penetrated the scales and delved deep into its brain!

The Black Scaled Python's massive body twitched a few times, finally crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Qianqian, not far away, wide-eyed, couldn't help but gasp.

She still hadn't fully recovered her senses even as Su Lei slowly walked towards her.

A hint of awe unconsciously appeared in her gaze towards him.

"Knife."

The voice by her ear suddenly startled her awake, and she quickly unclipped the sharkskin dagger from her waist and handed it over.

"Here, for you..."

Su Lei took the dagger and precisely cut an opening in the Black Scaled Python's abdomen.

Blood slowly seeped out, and the air immediately filled with a strong, fishy smell smell.

Lin Qianqian covered her mouth and nose, instinctively stepping back a few paces, only to see Su Lei reach into the Black Scaled Python's body.

After fumbling for a moment, he pulled sharply.

A pearl the size of an egg appeared in his hand.

Its surface shimmered with a strange luster, pulsating slightly as if alive.

Lin Qianqian's eyes widened, "This is... a beast core?!"

"Good luck."

Su Lei examined the beast core in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

Not every Mutant Beast produces a beast core; the probability of obtaining one is extremely low.

Back when he was in the army, he had seen specialized logistics units processing Mutant Beast corpses on the battlefield.

Even if you personally killed the Mutant Beast, even if you bled and were injured, it had nothing to do with you.

After the battle, the value of the Mutant Beast corpse would be assessed, and rewards would be distributed based on each person's contribution.

Anyone found privately hoarding a beast core would be sentenced.

This type of controlled strategic material also became a hot commodity in the black market.

Just this small item could often sell for millions.

Su Lei couldn't help but recall the Qi and blood medicine advertisements constantly playing on the bus every day.

They would use exaggerated fonts to highlight the beast core content, thereby branding themselves as high-end products...

He shook his head, suddenly realizing another problem.

Without a special container, the contained potency would dissipate extremely quickly, eventually becoming worthless...

Thinking of this, Su Lei unhesitatingly put the beast core into his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed it directly.

"Are you crazy?!" Lin Qianqian shrieked, instinctively reaching out to stop him, but it was already too late.

The next second,

A scorching, pure energy erupted within his body, constantly impacting his limbs and bones!

Under Lin Qianqian's horrified gaze, Su Lei's skin suddenly flushed an unnatural crimson, and white steam surged from every pore on his body.

His bones emitted a series of crackling sounds.

Veins bulged on his forehead, as if he were enduring immense pressure.

A few seconds later, he grunted, dropped to one knee, and slammed his fist fiercely into the ground!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out from him!

Lin Qianqian recoiled in fright, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

She could clearly feel that Su Lei's Qi and blood were still climbing at a terrifying speed,

As if a sleeping Vicious Beast was awakening!

...

A few minutes later.

"Whir, whir, whir!"

The roar of helicopter blades grew from distant to near.

Ten fully armed Martial Artists leaped from the helicopter, kicking up a cloud of dust as they landed.

"The Tier 4 Mutant Beast signal source is nearby! Stay alert!" the captain shouted sharply.

But after seeing the chaotic scene around them, everyone was stunned, frozen in place.

The nearly twenty-meter-long Black Scaled Python lay dead on the ground.

Its head was completely shattered, and dark red blood soaked several meters of surrounding earth.

Beside the Black Scaled Python's corpse, a man, bare-chested, sat cross-legged on a flat bluestone.

Steam rose from his body, emitting an astonishing aura.

The young girl beside him still had a look of lingering shock on her pale face.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, then cautiously surrounded him.

Before the captain could speak, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

His sharp gaze, almost tangible, shot towards them, startling everyone into retreating several steps.

"Who... who exactly is this Your Excellency?!"

The captain secretly swallowed, respectfully lowering his head.

"May I ask Your Excellency..."

"Su Lei, a participant in this competition."

"Par-participant?"

Everyone thought they had misheard, exchanging bewildered glances.

What kind of joke was this?

Even if all fifty participants in the camp combined their strength, they wouldn't be able to kill this Tier 4 Mutant Beast!
