36: Golden Blood

After an unknown amount of time, Su Lei suddenly opened his eyes.

The abundant and surging power made him unable to resist letting out a long roar.

Having absorbed less than one percent of the energy, his condition had already returned to its Peak.

The remaining energy and Qi and blood fused into one, continuously flowing within his body.

Subtly, his Physical Body was constantly being strengthened.

His Qi and blood became even more solid, his bones emitted faint crisp sounds, becoming denser, and his muscle fibers were constantly reorganizing and strengthening at a microscopic level!

… …

Just as Su Lei was about to test his strength, the roar of helicopter propellers suddenly came from outside.

"Is it military reinforcement…"

Su Lei stretched his neck and walked towards the cave entrance.

Five camouflage-painted armed helicopters hovered in mid-air in a combat formation.

The airflow generated by the rotors pressed the surrounding trees low.

Ten fully armed Martial Masters descended from the sky like dumplings.

When they saw the two mountain-like demon ape corpses, everyone involuntarily gasped.

When Su Lei emerged from the waterfall, he immediately drew everyone's attention.

Everyone frowned slightly.

The mission they received was to go here, kill two Vicious Beasts, and bring back the body of a mercenary named Su Lei.

If there was one.

Now it seemed, the Vicious Beasts likely referred to the two colossal, mountain-like creatures on the ground.

Su Lei should be the man in front of them.

But the problem was…

The intelligence showed that Su Lei was only a First-Order Martial Master; how could he single-handedly deal with two Vicious Beasts?

"Is the intelligence wrong?"

The bearded leader frowned, scrutinizing Su Lei, whose combat uniform was tattered, and then glanced at Zhao Tian beside him.

"Damn it, making such a big fuss."

"Making me and the whole squad run for nothing!"

Zhao Tian, however, acted as if he hadn't heard the complaint, suddenly rushing towards Su Lei.

The expression on his face quickly changed from shock to ecstasy.

"Su Lei! You're alive!" Zhao Tian grabbed Su Lei's shoulder, "These two…"

"I killed them," Su Lei replied calmly.

"How on earth did you do it?"

Zhao Tian looked Su Lei up and down, his eyes filled with shock.

He had personally experienced the power of these demon apes.

Even if he, Wu Ming, and Li Qingchen were together, they probably couldn't handle just one.

Su Lei actually managed to kill two?

He was still a bit stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It's a long story," Su Lei changed the subject, "How are the two of them?"

"They're out of danger and receiving treatment in the medical pod."

Zhao Tian sighed, "But the doctor said it would take at least half a month to recover."

Su Lei nodded slightly.

It was good that they were alive; with current medical standards, a broken arm or leg was not a very serious matter.

At this moment, the bearded leader walked over impatiently, "Save the reminiscing for later! Pack up!"

It was evening when they returned to the military camp.

The searchlights in the temporary Garrison area illuminated the tent area as brightly as day.

The regular "beep beep" sound of a cardiac monitor came from the medical tent.

Su Lei was taken for a full physical examination, and the military doctor in a white coat stared at the test report for a full ten minutes, finally just saying "everything is normal" before hurrying away.

… …

Zhao Tian lifted the tent flap and couldn't help but complain:

"Those dissection experts insist they were Second-Order Gibbons!"

"That's a load of bull! What kind of Gibbon can grow to six meters tall?"

"I think they're clearly just unwilling to admit that you killed two Vicious Beasts!"

Su Lei sighed inwardly.

From a genetic perspective, these two were indeed Gibbons.

They only became so strong because of the nourishment from the royal blood grass fruit.

Zhao Tian took out two kraft paper envelopes from his Pregnant and threw them on the table.

"One is the mission reward, two hundred thousand."

He then pointed to the other, noticeably thicker envelope.

"The bodies of those two Gibbons are said to have great research value; the military bought them for two million."

"That little?" Su Lei frowned slightly.

Zhao Tian said helplessly, "No choice, reconnaissance missions only pay this much. And no beast core was found, so two million is not bad."

"You keep it all."

Su Lei shook his head, "No, split it evenly."

Although fifty thousand per person was pitifully little, everyone was part of the same squad and had contributed, so splitting it evenly was appropriate, regardless of the amount of money.

This was the rule.

Zhao Tian shrugged, "Those two definitely won't take it, and neither will I."

"If it weren't for you, the three of us would have died there."

Su Lei said helplessly, "Then buy some supplements."

"Buy more Advanced nutrient solutions and cell repair agents so they can return to the squad sooner."

Zhao Tian continued, "Oh, and you're now the captain of the Sharp Sword Squad."

"It'll just be the two of us for the next month, what do you plan to do?"

"Continue taking missions, if there are no missions, then hunt exotic beasts."

"As you say," Zhao Tian suddenly sighed.

"Honestly, with your current strength, you can walk sideways in the Misty Mountains, and two people are no problem."

After a few more words, Zhao Tian took the envelopes and left the tent, heading for the military camp warehouse.

Su Lei took out his phone and opened the Martial Alliance's shopping page.

His fingertip slid across the screen, finally stopping on a deep black combat uniform.

【Giant Tooth Shark Skin Tactical Suit】.

The product details showed that it was made from the tanned skin of a Second-Order Vicious Beast, the "Deep Sea Giant Tooth Shark."

It was not only waterproof and fireproof but also resistant to Sharp Weapon punctures.

The most remarkable thing was that it weighed only one kilogram, completely unaffected by activity and flexibility.

Of course, the price was steep, one million.

Su Lei decisively placed the order.

He then spent fifty thousand yuan to buy some Advanced supplies:

Potent hemostatic bandages (can instantly coagulate wounds)

Fatigue recovery spray (contains adrenaline derivatives)

Universal antidote (effective against 72 common toxins)

The Martial Alliance's efficiency was very fast; that same evening, a drone air-dropped the package onto the military camp parade ground.

… …

At the same time.

Inside the military camp's research institute.

A man in a white coat stared at the test data on the screen, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

"Overall quality is infinitely close to that of a Third-Order Martial Master."

"No wonder he could single-handedly kill two First-Order Vicious Beasts…"

His finger hovered over the keyboard for a full ten seconds before he slowly typed a few lines at the end of the test report.

【Test Subject: Su Lei】

【Cell Activity Index: 487 (Normal First-Order Martial Master (100-120))】

【Metabolic Rate: 4.2 times baseline】

【Muscle Fiber Density: Abnormal】

【Remarks: A small amount of royal blood grass components was detected in this sample, which fused with the blood and underwent mutation, possessing great research value. Please come and receive it as soon as possible.】

After sending the test report to a certain email address, he let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the refrigerator.

Inside lay a tube of Su Lei's blood sample, which still showed an eerie pale golden color even at low temperatures.

Even after six hours away from the main body, there was no sign of coagulation.
