25: Chapter 24 The Slaughter Feast in Death Valley

The roar had barely faded when thousands of mutated scorpions, each the size of a wolfhound, suddenly darted out from the sand dunes.

Their bodies were covered in black carapaces, their eight legs moved swiftly across the sand, and the stingers at the tips of their tails shimmered with a green glow.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"

A piercing shriek rang out.

The mutated scorpions charged madly toward Godzilla.

Godzilla did not move; it simply opened its mouth, and blue light shimmered deep within its throat.

Boom—

A high-temperature plasma beam shot out.

Spiral Heat Ray!

This was an enhanced version of the Atomic Breath, with its power increased fifteen-fold.

The blue beam swept across the sand, and every mutated scorpion hit by it instantly turned to ash.

Even the sand was scorched into glass-like crystals.

The entire process took less than five seconds.

Thousands of mutated scorpions—

wiped out completely.

[Ding! Pet killed E-Class Mutated Beast × 1127, evolution progress + 0.4%]

"This power..."

Luo Yu stood behind Godzilla, looking at the charred trench.

Sure enough,

the power of the Spiral Heat Ray was far greater than the Atomic Breath.

If the Atomic Breath was a rifle, the Spiral Heat Ray was an enhanced super rocket launcher.

Suddenly,

a rustling sound came from the distance.

Luo Yu turned his head.

He saw that in the shadows of the sand dunes, dense black silhouettes were moving—they were even more mutated scorpions, numbering over two thousand.

Moreover, among them were dozens of particularly massive ones.

Those were D-Class Mutated Beasts.

"Godzilla, clear them out."

Roar—

Godzilla let out a roar and charged forward on its four legs.

A unilateral massacre began once again.

Godzilla's fighting style remained simple and brutal.

When it encountered small mutated beasts, it would simply swat a large group to death with one claw.

When it encountered medium-sized mutated beasts, it would sweep them away with its tail.

When it encountered D-Class Mutated Beasts, it would use the Spiral Heat Ray to blast through them all, turning them to dust.

The whole process was incredibly smooth, just like killing ants.

Three minutes later.

The ground was piled high with the corpses of mutated beasts.

Godzilla stood in the mountain of corpses, its dorsal fins shimmering with blinding blue light, and began to absorb the radiation energy from these bodies.

[Ding! Pet devoured a large number of mutated beasts, evolution progress + 0.8%]

[Current evolution progress: 1.2%]

Luo Yu looked at the system prompt and nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad.

At this rate, after clearing the outer area of Death Valley, the evolution progress should be able to increase to around 5%.

"Continue."

Luo Yu and Godzilla continued moving forward.

The deeper they went,

the higher the radiation level.

The black sand on the ground became finer and finer, and the green fog in the air became thicker and thicker.

Even Luo Yu could clearly feel that the pressure in the surroundings was becoming stronger and stronger.

Suddenly,

a rustling sound came from ahead.

Luo Yu stopped in his tracks.

"Something is coming."

The words had barely left his lips,

when a massive black shadow darted out from under the sand.

It was a mutated snake, the size of a giant python, twenty-five meters long, covered in black scales, with cold green light flickering in its eyes.

[Mutated Beast Level: B-Class]

[Threat Level: Medium]

"A B-Class mutated snake."

Luo Yu glanced at the detector.

The mutated snake, however, was staring fixedly at Godzilla, flicking out its scarlet tongue.

As the saying goes,

for these nuclear-radiated mutated beasts, the nuclear radiation on Godzilla was akin to the flesh of Tang Monk; for these creatures without consciousness, it was extremely tempting.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

Whoosh!

Without any warning, this mutated desert snake recklessly lunged forward.

Its speed was astonishing.

Godzilla raised its front claw, intending to swat it away.

The mutated snake, however, twisted its body in mid-air, dodging the attack.

Then,

it opened its bloodthirsty jaws and bit toward Godzilla's neck.

Godzilla dodged to the side, and the mutated snake's fangs grazed its scales, but didn't even leave a scratch.

"Roar!"

Godzilla let out an angry roar.

It violently swung its tail, striking the mutated snake.

Slap—

The tail hit the mutated snake's body, sending it flying and slamming hard into the sand.

The mutated snake struggled to stand up.

Godzilla, however, didn't give it a chance.

It opened its mouth,

and the blue light deep within its throat erupted.

Boom—

The Spiral Heat Ray shot out.

The high-temperature plasma beam struck the mutated snake's head, piercing directly through its brain.

The snake's body twitched a few times,

then went still.

[Ding! Pet killed B-Class Mutated Beast, evolution progress + 0.1%]

Godzilla walked over,

lowered its head, and began to absorb the radiation energy inside the mutated snake.

Green light surged from the snake's body and was swallowed into Godzilla's mouth.

Within a single second, the mutated snake's body shriveled up, turning into a dried corpse.

"Continue."

Over the next three hours,

Luo Yu and Godzilla cleared out most of the mutated beasts in the outer area of Death Valley.

The number exceeded five thousand.

Among them,

there were over sixty C-Class Mutated Beasts and over twenty B-Class;

but...

without exception,

they were all crushed by Godzilla with overwhelming force.

[Current evolution progress: 5.7%]

"That's about it." Luo Yu checked the time. "Let's head to the middle area."

He led Godzilla and continued moving forward.

The deeper they went,

the higher the radiation level.

Huge craters began to appear on the ground, each several hundred meters wide and bottomless.

Green liquid was constantly seeping out from the edges of the craters.

Clearly,

the nuclear radiation here was already starting at 100,000.

Just then, a deafening screech came from the distance.

"Squeak—!"

The sound was sharp and piercing. Luo Yu stopped and looked in the direction the sound came from.

He saw a massive poisonous scorpion walking out from behind a sand dune.

It was a mutated poisonous scorpion over fifteen meters in size, covered in black carapace, with thick and powerful legs, and a stinger at the end of its tail that was five meters long, shimmering with an eerie green light.

[Mutated Beast Level: A-Class]

[Threat Level: Medium]

"An A-Class mutated poisonous scorpion."

Luo Yu picked up the detector to take a look.

Facing the uninvited guest that had intruded into its territory, the mutated poisonous scorpion stared at Godzilla and let out a low hiss.

Having reached A-Class, it could sense that the giant beast before it was very dangerous.

But...

it could not retreat.

Because this was its territory.

"Squeak—!"

The mutated poisonous scorpion let out a long cry toward the sky.

In an instant,

over thirty more mutated poisonous scorpions poured out from the sand dunes.

They were slightly smaller in size, but looked just as fierce.

"A scorpion swarm?"

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

It seemed this A-Class mutated poisonous scorpion was the leader, and the others were its subordinates.

"Godzilla, take out the leader first."

"Roar! (Understood)"

Godzilla let out a roar and charged toward the mutated poisonous scorpion.

The mutated poisonous scorpion was not to be outdone and lunged forward, waving its massive pincers.

Bang!

The two giant beasts collided, producing a dull thud.

The mutated poisonous scorpion's pincers clamped toward Godzilla's neck.

Godzilla raised its front claw and grabbed the pincers.

Snap... snap...

With a crisp sound.

The mutated poisonous scorpion's pincers were snapped off by Godzilla.

"Squeak!"

The mutated poisonous scorpion let out a painful hiss.

It swung its tail,

the stinger stabbing toward Godzilla's chest.

Godzilla dodged to the side, then grabbed the poisonous scorpion's tail.

With a forceful pull.

Rip...

The entire tail was torn off by Godzilla.

Green blood gushed out.

"Squeak!"

The mutated poisonous scorpion struggled frantically.

Godzilla didn't give it a chance; it opened its mouth, and the blue light deep within its throat erupted.

Boom!!

The Spiral Heat Ray shot out.

The high-temperature plasma beam struck the mutated poisonous scorpion's head, piercing directly through its brain.

The mutated poisonous scorpion's movements stopped.

Then...

it crashed to the ground.

[Ding! Pet killed A-Class Mutated Beast, evolution progress + 0.7%]

Seeing their leader dead, the other mutated poisonous scorpions fell apart and scurried in all directions, trying to escape.

Godzilla, however, didn't give them a chance.

Its dorsal fins began to shimmer with a blinding blue light.

Hum—

A powerful electromagnetic pulse erupted from its body.

Nuclear Pulse Burst!

An invisible shockwave spread out, the surrounding air trembled, and all the mutated poisonous scorpions were hit by the pulse, their bodies instantly stiffening.

Then...

Godzilla opened its mouth.

Boom—

The Spiral Heat Ray swept across.

All the mutated poisonous scorpions turned to ash.

[Ding! Pet killed C-Class Mutated Beast × 33, evolution progress + 0.2%]

[Current evolution progress: 6.6%]

Over the next five hours,

Luo Yu and Godzilla cleared out most of the mutated beasts in the middle area of Death Valley.

The number exceeded seven thousand.

Among them,

there were over thirty B-Class Mutated Beasts.

But...

without exception, they were all crushed by Godzilla.

[Current evolution progress: 12.2%]

"Alright."

"Let's go to the core area."

Luo Yu led Godzilla and continued moving forward.

The deeper they went,

the larger and deeper the craters on the ground became.

The green fog in the air was so thick that it was almost impossible to see what was ahead.

Luo Yu could feel that the radiation intensity here had already exceeded 200,000 times.

"Godzilla, be careful and cautious."

Roar!!

Godzilla let out a roar,

and its dorsal fins began to shimmer with a pale blue light.

Seemingly sensing the nuclear radiation aura on Godzilla, two deafening screeches came from the distance.

Squeak!!

Squeak!!

It was two sounds.

Luo Yu's expression became serious.

"Twin Scorpions."

He looked ahead.

He saw two massive figures slowly walking out from the shadows of the sand dunes.

They were two mutated poisonous scorpions over thirty meters in size.

Their bodies were covered in golden carapaces, their eight legs were thick and powerful, and the stingers at the ends of their tails were ten meters long, shimmering with an eerie green light.

The most terrifying thing was their eyes.

They were four pairs of compound eyes burning with green flames.

[Mutated Beast Level: S+ Class]

[Threat Level: Lethal]

[Mutated Beast Level: S+ Class]

[Threat Level: Lethal]

Seeing these two prompts, Luo Yu narrowed his eyes.

Twin Scorpions.

Two S+ Class Mutated Beasts.

And...

they were staring right at Godzilla.
