Chapter 63 【o(*￣︶￣*)o】PART 1

 

Qin Jiulin nodded, “It’s indeed very rare to see, but… we can’t be 100% sure that there aren’t any, so when carrying out the mission, be careful. If you encounter any other flying animals approaching, it’s better to avoid them for safety purposes, except when throwing the blood bags, other than that, everyone should fly close together.”

 

This way, it could effectively reduce the possibility of unexpected incidents.

 

Gao Siyang, “This issue is not too big or small. I’ll mention it again to them when everyone gathers tomorrow. However, they have already carried out some small tasks before, and should have some experience in being aware of other flying animals in the air. I hope there won’t be anyone else dropping out of this mission.”

 

Liu Zhongyuan, “Let’s just settle this then. Shall we leave now?”

 

Gao Siyang, “Sure, you can go back first. This mission is a collective one, and Qi Yue from your team has to come here every day. If you want to come, you’re welcome.”

 

Liu Zhongyuan, “Of course we’ll come, after all, he’s a member of our team, and we must ensure he returns safely from each mission.”

 

Of course, upon saying this, Liu Zhongyuan also realized one thing – Cheng Tianxiang must come as well. Then, as Cheng Tianxiang’s teammate, would that Xia Liansheng also come every day?

 

Especially after knowing that Qin Jiulin would also come here with him every day?

 

Oh well, since he would be here anyway, Xia Liansheng wouldn’t be able to find an opportunity to be alone with Qin Jiulin. His skin is not that thick, and he would just firmly block him or stick close to Qin Jiulin.

 

Qin Jiulin suddenly shivered, and subconsciously looked back at Liu Zhongyuan who was following behind him, “Are you thinking of something bad?”

 

Liu Zhongyuan blinked in surprise, “Huh? What?”

 

Qin Jiulin’s suspicious gaze fell on him, “Nothing.”

 

Liu Zhongyuan smiled, squinting his eyes as he leaned closer, “Huh? What do you mean ‘nothing’? Tell me, why did you think I was thinking of something bad?”

 

“Do you think I was thinking of something bad? Did you feel something just now? Can you actually sense these things? Am I that powerful?!”

 

Qin Jiulin, “So, were you really thinking of something bad? About me?”

 

Liu Zhongyuan pretended to be clueless, “No, I didn’t think of anything.”

 

Qin Jiulin didn’t banter with him, “Shall we go hunting today?”

 

Liu Zhongyuan, “Sure, since we don’t have any special missions right now. Qi Yue has to cooperate with the military to carry out that task, our role isn’t as important. At most, we’ll just need to clear up any half beastmen that approach this area. Of course, with other beastmen protecting, but our strength is the strongest!”

 

Qin Jiulin, “Let’s go see…”

 

Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar squad leader came over, “Excuse me, do you have a moment?”

 

Liu Zhongyuan nodded, “Sure, what is it? Is there a half beastman approaching from a certain direction again? How many?”

 

The squad leader nodded, “Yes, if it was only a small number, I wouldn’t have come to find you specifically. Come with me, the monitoring has detected a batch of half beastmen approaching, about a thousand in number, and at their current speed, they’ll reach this area in less than ten minutes!”

 

Qin Jiulin, “Qi Yue, you just finished a mission, go back first.”

 

Qi Yue blinked, “But I’m not at all… Okay, I’ll go back then.”

 

He paused halfway, suddenly realizing that these two didn’t really need his protection or escort. Letting him leave was obviously so they could have some private time together.

 

Even though he’s still a minor, he could still somewhat understand the hidden meaning behind their words. If he just charged in headfirst without understanding, that would be…

 

Qi Yue obediently left, and only then did Liu Zhongyuan reveal a smile, leading Qin Jiulin to clear out the half beastmen approaching the area. These creatures are very sensitive to the scent of blood, and they’re likely drawn here by the blood from the food preparation in the cafeteria.

 

The numbers are usually not too high, probably because the distance is a bit far. Even if they can smell the blood, it still takes them some time to locate the direction of the scent.

 

By the time they get close, the half beastmen arrive in batches. When the numbers are low, ordinary beastmen can handle them easily. 

 

But when the numbers are high, the beastmen need to coordinate with the soldiers’ guns and ammunition for protection. And when the numbers reach a certain level, the variant beastman will have to step in.

 

This time, the squad leader just happened to find the two of them.

 

As they approached the outermost barrier, they could already see the over a thousand half beastmen crowding and rushing towards them in the distance. 

 

Their speed was even gradually increasing. In the area not far from the barrier, there were about thirty ordinary beastmen, but that was far from enough!

 

Qin Jiulin, “Let’s go, while they’re still at a distance, we’ll go intercept them first.”

 

Liu Zhongyuan nodded, and said to the squad leader, “We’ll handle the main force. If any stragglers try to sneak through towards this area, you take care of them, okay?”

 

The squad leader, “No problem, we can manage that.”

 

Qin Jiulin transformed into a giant tiger, his claws hooking directly onto the wall as he scaled it swiftly, standing atop the building in just seconds, observing the half beastmen. At the same time, Liu Zhongyuan transformed into a giant snake, and Qin Jiulin jumped down, landing on the snake’s head.

 

The giant snake carried Qin Jiulin forward, and the ordinary beastmen who had been standing around all stepped aside, staring blankly at the giant snake and the tiger on its head.

 

Compared to the giant snake, they were still vastly inferior in size. In front of this pair, they might not even withstand a single swipe.

 

Qin Jiulin jumped off the snake’s head, immediately smashing the heads of two half beastmen with his paws. The snake’s tail came crashing down, splitting the batch of half beastmen in half, with the unfortunate ones in the middle being flattened into bloody pancakes.

 

Qin Jiulin moved quickly, darting around and taking down several half beastmen each time. His single paw was larger than a human head, and his strikes were no joke.

 

“Grrrr…” Qin Jiulin bit down on a half beastman that had almost leapt onto his back, snapping its neck and tossing the body aside.

 

This half beastman had mutated legs, looking like a kangaroo’s. No wonder it had such impressive jumping power and speed. If that sharp-toothed bite had landed on his back, he might have been seriously injured.

 

Up until now in this life, he hasn’t sustained any serious injuries, but in his previous life, he had. In the beginning, he didn’t know how to fight in his beast form, and had suffered many setbacks and injuries.

 

There were quite a few instances of serious injuries as well. But as he became more familiar with his beast form, the number of injuries gradually decreased. Thinking back to those serious injuries…

 

In fact, when he’s in his beast form, it’s not easy to seriously injure him. First of all, the giant tiger form has good defense – not only the thick fur, but even the sharp teeth and claws of ordinary beastmen can’t really break his skin, at most just tearing off some fur.

 

Qin Jiulin didn’t think too much about it, tossing the limp dead body aside and continuing the fight. Their one-sided slaughter surprised the observing ordinary beastmen who were watching – this was the first time they had seen a battle between variant beastman.

 

“Woof…” A beastman in a dog form couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.

 

Soon, other beastmen joined in with their own animal sounds, a chaotic but organized chorus.

 

The squad leader wasn’t focused on watching their impressive slaughter, but monitoring the surroundings, ready to act if any stragglers tried to slip through.

 

“Two are circling around from the side, keep an eye out and kill them as quickly as possible!”

 

The beastmen who had been observing suddenly became serious. Seeing the two half beastman, missing limbs and stumbling, approach, they were momentarily speechless.

After all, the half beastman they had dealt with before were intact. But now, the “leftovers” were disabled. It seemed the big shots were truly impressive – even the ones that slipped through were already crippled.

 

The two disabled half beastman were no challenge for them at all, dispatched in just a few moves, and they returned to observing the slaughter in front of them.

 

With around a thousand half-beastmen, if this weren’t a city street where Liu Zhongyuan couldn’t go all out, he could have crushed them with his tail alone. But confined here, he could only control his strength. Fortunately, with Qin Jiulin nearby to take care of the scattered half beastman, they were able to resolve this minor annoyance quickly.

 

After dealing with this side, the ordinary beastmen behind them also easily killed the ten or so stray crippled “small fish” that had slipped through.

 

After the two transformed back into human form and left, the other beastmen also shifted to their human forms, excitedly discussing the scene they had just witnessed.

 

“Wow, no wonder variant beastman are so highly valued, with such small numbers but such immense strength! There were over a thousand half beastman here, if we had tried to handle it ourselves, the casualties would have been devastating.”

 

“This is the first time I’ve seen a variant beastman in battle, they’re truly so powerful, it’s unbelievable!”

 

“So awe-inspiring, I’ll be living in their shadow for the rest of my life.”
