163: The beast is king!

This Awakened squad was also incredibly arrogant.

Or perhaps it was because they had never encountered a powerful opponent before, and for a time, they hadn't transitioned from being hunters to being prey.

They actually took the initiative to attack the Spotted Tiger.

Working together,

they tried to end the battle quickly.

Indeed,

this battle did end at an incredibly fast pace.

However, the continuous screams of the Black Demon Blood indicated that...

the victor of this battle was undoubtedly that terrifying Spotted Tiger!

It effortlessly wiped out this Awakened squad with overwhelming force.

Every contact meant the demise of one Black Demon Blood.

Before long, it began to enjoy its feast...

In a certain street,

a wild dogs hidden in a dark corner at the end of an alley was groaning in immense pain.

It seemed to be sick,

or as if some terrifying power was transforming its body.

However, at this moment,

a Black Demon Blood with dreadlocks came into the alley.

Seemingly finding the wild dogs too noisy,

the Black Demon Blood didn't hesitate, flying forward with a kick towards the wild dogs.

This kick, imbued with great power, sent the wild dogs flying.

It only stopped when it hit the wall.

The powerful impact caused the wild dogs to let out a painful wail.

It lay on the ground, barely alive.

Such terrifying strength proved that this Black Demon Blood was undoubtedly an Awakened.

However, as the number of Awakened increased,

they once again became fiercely competitive.

From a top-tier profession, it plummeted to a common one.

Especially Awakened like him, who hadn't Awakened any special abilities, they became the lowest of the low.

Even his life became more difficult because his appetite increased after becoming an Awakened.

Afraid to retaliate against those who might clear their bullets into him at any moment,

he could only bully weaker beings.

Listening to their painful wails, he would relieve the imbalance in his heart.

Apparently, one kick wasn't enough.

This Black Demon Blood kicked the wild dogs several more times.

Only after the other side couldn't even let out a painful whimper did he leave the alley, satisfied.

He didn't know that after he left, the wild dogs' eyes suddenly opened.

It was staring fixedly at the Black Demon Blood's retreating figure with eyes full of hatred.

As its breathing gradually stabilized, the wild dogs' body also gradually became steady.

Powering its limbs, it stood up steadily.

Its nose twitched.

It greedily caught the scent in the air.

The scent of the Black Demon Blood that had attacked it.

Before long, it pinpointed a direction.

Like an arrow shot from a bow, it suddenly rushed forward.

This would be its revenge.

Perhaps it didn't have the strength to seek revenge before.

But now it had become strong enough.

Strong enough to take revenge on all creatures that had ever bullied it!

Similar incidents frequently occurred throughout America.

Before they realized that the roles of hunter and prey had quietly shifted,

a terrifying disaster erupted instantly!

Under the Reinforcement of the Beta Gene, countless wild beasts Awakened.

They Awakened into incredibly terrifying Awakened Beasts.

Not just their attacks,

their defense and speed also received terrifying boosts.

This qualitative change in strength made them America's nightmare.

They adhered to the law of the jungle, mercilessly tearing apart any creature that stood in their way.

As long as it had flesh and blood, it was their food.

A disaster, in a way no one could have imagined, erupted.

In a very short time, it spread throughout America.

The army began to mobilize.

They tried to suppress these rampaging wild beasts.

However, how could beasts whose strength had surged be easily suppressed?

Even if they couldn't win, their escape speed was incredibly fast.

So the outcome of the battles was:

Either humanity paid a heavy price to eliminate the Awakened Beast.

It was a Pyrrhic victory.

Or the Awakened Beast, after rampaging for a while, realized the situation was unfavorable and directly fled.

Leaving behind heavy casualties for the human army, a truly miserable sight.

No one could have imagined.

Even the night cats and wild dogs wandering by the roadside could cause a disaster capable of destroying an entire street.

This situation made the humans living in America begin to regret.

They regretted why they hadn't cleared out all other creatures in the early stages of the Awakening outbreak, when humanity held an absolute advantage.

However, this thought was merely hindsight.

Although wild beasts were indeed a hard-hit area for Awakening,

they couldn't simply clear out all wild beasts because of that.

Such an approach was completely suicidal.

Most importantly, in their impression, these animals were merely pitiful creatures at their mercy.

Under the rampage of countless fierce beasts, humans began to spend heavily to construct isolation zones.

By defending these isolation zones, they concentrated their firepower to prevent the invasion of Awakened Beasts.

Although this meant they would abandon large swathes of land that originally belonged to them,

it could at least allow them to cordon off a safe area.

As a sanctuary for the vast majority of human life.

At the same time, concentrated firepower could also reduce the consumption of fighting these Awakened Beasts.

After all, these Awakened Beasts themselves were not of the same faction.

When they met, they would almost never become friends.

Instead, they would become enemies who slaughtered each other.

Beginning to consume the strength of the beast faction.

In this way, the people living on the land of America protected themselves by cordoning off areas.

They had essentially caged themselves.

Fortunately,

during this disaster, the population of America was reduced by a full third.

Coupled with the terrifying mortality rate during the first Awakening outbreak,

there weren't many humans left alive on the land of America.

Instead, it meant they didn't have to worry about the small piece of land they cordoned off not being enough.

It was truly something to be grateful for.

This time,

all lands outside America,

instead, gained a lesson at America's expense by missing the initial opportunity.

They built isolation zones in advance, protecting more people and land.

Furthermore, many places were already sparsely populated.

It even caused little impact.

It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

As for the terrifying changes that occurred in the unseen oceans,

humans dared not even imagine.

Now, their only demand was to be able to hold onto the land.

The deep, unclear ocean was no longer a goal they could pursue.

By this point,

the world had completely transformed into a world where beasts reigned.

---

This Awakening disaster first swept across America.

Unless completely isolated from the outside world, any place where it could spread would definitely not be spared.

Lin Tianwei's farm was no exception.

Early in the morning, the chicken coop was filled with continuous crowing.

As if proclaiming the rising of the sun and the arrival of day.

Normally, it was almost impossible for chickens raised on a farm to exhibit such behavior.

Because chickens raised on farms were primarily for egg-laying.

If they couldn't lay eggs, they lost their greatest value.

But Lin Tianwei's farm was different.

To be self-sufficient and not be controlled by others,

there was still a certain number of roosters for the farm's own reproduction.

And it was these roosters that were crowing.

Normally, they would just lie listlessly in their cages, living a happy, laid-back life.

But now they had changed.

Their spirit and vigor had undergone a qualitative leap.

Even their feathers had become colorful.

Especially their incredibly sharp beaks.

They gleamed with a cold light, looking powerful at first glance.

Their proudly raised heads were even more arrogant.

As if the rising of the sun and the arrival of day were not natural laws,

but entirely their doing.

Undoubtedly, they had been Infected by the Black Demon Blood and successfully undergone a second Awakening.

They even spread their wings, attempting to fly.

However, the iron cages confined them, longing for freedom.

At first, they could tolerate being cooped up in cramped iron cages.

But the discomfort of their bodies not being able to stretch for a long time quickly changed their minds.

Their sharp beaks pecked at the iron cage with lightning speed.

The already flimsy iron cage,

pecked by these Awakened roosters,

immediately broke into pieces like rotten branches.

Granting these Awakened roosters their freedom once more.

They excitedly flapped their wings.

And actually flew up with a flapping sound.

Seeing how effortlessly they moved, it was clear they had gained the ability to fly.

However, after flapping around for a while, they didn't choose to escape directly.

Instead, they looked around.

They looked at the hens that were also confined in iron cages.

Their eyes gradually became excited, gradually becoming perverted.

They flapped their wings and flew towards the hens…

In the farm, 'moo' sounds rose and fell.

In America, cattle farming is a very common practice.

Lin Tianwei's farm was no different, possessing an incredibly large herd of cattle.

Under the erosion of the Black Demon Blood, the cattle, which had finally stabilized, began to grow restless.

It seemed as if the madness in their genes had been ignited.

They breathed heavily, preparing to begin their own wild feast.

However, at that moment, an even louder 'moo' rang out.

Following it was a completely black figure.

Who else could it be but the Mad Cow?

As a terrifying giant beast that emerged from the Ismail Institute, the Mad Cow's strength was far superior to that of these ordinary cattle.

Even if they all underwent a second Awakening, the gap in their strength would only grow wider and wider.

As the 'mooing' continued, a communication between the cattle began.

Soon, the restless herd was appeased.

They returned to their original positions.

Under the Mad Cow's leadership, they diligently continued to do what cattle should do.

Seeing that the riot had finally subsided, the Mad Cow also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the difference between cattle was also quite significant.

As the strongest cow, the Mad Cow's perception of the second Awakening was also the most intense.

Almost the moment the second Awakening occurred, he sensed the changes in his body.

Every cell in his body was cheering.

It was a feast for the cells, a carnival of life.

The feeling of powerful energy contained within his body made the Mad Cow moo comfortably.

The Mad Cow even had a bold idea in his heart: to challenge Lin Tianwei, that detestable tiger.

The serf would rise up and sing, becoming the new owner of this farm in one fell swoop.

He would make all the two-legged beasts his servants, ensuring he could eat and drink well every day, living a happy life.

As soon as he thought of that comfortable feeling, the Mad Cow's mooing grew louder.

He even raised a hoof and kicked the giant rock in front of him.

Under the terrifying power of the Mad Cow, the giant rock was instantly shattered, turning into a spray of gravel.

However, once the initial excitement of his Reinforcement passed, the Mad Cow calmed down.

He was able to live peacefully in the Ismail Institute and maintain his excellent treatment precisely because of his intelligent cow brain.

Recalling his experiences at the Ismail Institute, especially his interactions with Lin Tianwei, that overwhelming power immediately made the Mad Cow tremble all over.

His expression changed drastically.

He couldn't win.

He couldn't beat that detestable tiger!

His strength was simply not as good as his!

Without sharp Claws, even with equal strength, he would struggle to contend with beasts like tigers, let alone when his strength was far inferior.

The Mad Cow instantly deflated.

His beautiful future completely slipped away.

He was still the cow that had to submit to Lin Tianwei.

What a difficult life for a cow.

But then he smiled again, letting out a simple, honest moo.

Oh, you foolish tiger.

You are no match for me at all.

It's just that this cow is too lazy to manage such a large farm.

And also too lazy to fight invaders.

So, I'm too lazy to contend with you.

I'll reluctantly give you the title of farm owner.

Eat well, eat well, and serve me obediently.

I will graciously provide you with nutritious milk.

Under the influence of the spiritual victory method, the Mad Cow immediately felt that life had become beautiful again.

As long as he lay down, he could be served by two-legged beasts and live comfortably every day.

So why should he struggle?

Why should he strive?

Wasn't the goal of his struggle and effort to obtain these things?

Just as the Mad Cow had this sudden realization, he heard angry mooing from afar.

Judging by the sound, it was definitely his own kind, the sound of his kin who had undergone the Awakening Reinforcement.

The most important thing was that they were secretly plotting a riot.

The thought of Lin Tianwei's terrifying power made the Mad Cow tremble.

No.

He had to do something.

Otherwise, if that terrifying tiger became angry, wouldn't he suffer an undeserved calamity?

Supported by this thought, the Mad Cow quickly rushed to the cattle farm.

That's when the initial scene occurred, which was quite interesting.

However, Lin Tianwei's farm didn't just have cattle and chickens.

Ducks, geese, sheep, pigs… Even though Lin Tianwei wasn't particularly picky about food, as long as it was fresh and had powerful energy, it was fine.

But Ouro and the others dared not let Lin Tianwei eat the same food every day.

To satisfy what they imagined to be Lin Tianwei's extremely picky palate, they bought all the common livestock on the market and started breeding them vigorously.

They prepared food for Lin Tianwei in different ways every day.

This also led to an unusually large number of creatures undergoing Awakening due to the erosion of the Black Demon Blood this time.

Supported by the terrifying numbers, low-probability events occurred continuously, and countless powerful Awakened Beasts were born among them.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying disaster for the entire farm!

This is also why the farm became a severely affected area in the early stages of the second Awakening.

The large numerical base made these places where creatures gathered more likely to produce powerful Awakened Beasts.

For a time, terrifying roars rose and fell.

That was creatures who had gained powerful strength, venting their anger.

The anger of being enslaved.

They were not unaware of their predicament; they simply lacked the strength to resist.

In the villa, Ouro looked grimly at the news he had obtained from the internet.

For some unknown reason, a second, even more terrifying round of Awakening had begun to erupt.

This time, the direct threat of this Awakening to life could be said to be minimal.

For Awakened, the Beta Gene Reinforcement was almost impossible to fail.

It was even possible to directly gain a free enhancement of all physical attributes, which was an absolutely profitable deal.

Of course, for a very small number of people who failed to Awaken, the appearance of the Beta Gene was equally a nightmare.

Although the Beta Gene was powerful, the weak bodies of un-Awakened humans simply couldn't withstand it.

The mortality rate was an even more terrifying 99%.

In other words, out of a hundred people, only one lucky person could barely survive.

Coupled with the even more powerful upgraded Black Demon Blood, unless one was completely isolated from the world, it was almost impossible to escape the fate of being Infected by it.

Another major cleansing unfolded in America.

Of course, this was not entirely a bad thing.

The one percent of lucky survivors would gain powerful strength.

They would then undergo Gamma Gene Reinforcement again.

Not only was the success rate 100%, but there was also a greater chance of Awakening special abilities.

They would also be stronger than those who first underwent Gamma Gene Reinforcement and then Beta Gene Reinforcement.

It could be considered a mixed blessing.

However, the indirect threat caused by the second Awakening was even more terrifying than imagined.

News of powerful Awakened Beasts being born frequently and densely erupted in various places.

Among them, only a small portion held goodwill towards humans.

More Awakened Beasts would attack humans without hesitation.

For a time, except for areas with exceptionally powerful forces, the entire America seemed like hell had descended, becoming incomparably terrifying.

Everywhere were brutally murdered people, their bodies mangled.

They stared with wide eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend why their once comfortable living environment had suddenly turned from heaven to hell.

Before Ouro could recover from the shock of the world mutating again and turning into hell, his subordinates began to constantly report the situation on the farm.

News of livestock Awakening everywhere, not only gaining powerful strength but also becoming aggressive, poured in.

Clearly, even with Lin Tianwei overseeing it, this place could not avoid the erosion of the Black Demon Blood.

Ouro's eyes were grim.

He had to quickly come up with a way to avoid the losses caused by this Awakening to the farm.

However, being weak, how could he, facing such a huge disparity in strength, come up with a solution?

He could only look towards the center of the farm.

He could only pray for Lin Tianwei's intervention to completely resolve this riot with overwhelming power!
