No wonder Zhou Gao had such a big reaction.

After being attacked, Zhou Gao and the other three people's consciousness and senses weren't affected. Their vision, hearing, and pain were all normal. Imagine being eaten alive by the mermaid in such a situation … Just thinking about it made their hair stand on end.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled, but Gou Liang nodded and said, "This sound wave might have the same effect on Exotic Beasts."

Even someone as clumsy as Zhou Gao quickly understood the deeper meaning of Gou Liang's words. If they could use this sound wave, then wouldn't all the beast cores on the ground be in their pockets?

He was the one who scolded them the most just now, and now he was the first to applaud, "That's right! Giving them a taste of their own medicine, this is a good move! "

He seemed to have already imagined the scene of them sweeping through with their sound wave paralyzing weapons, and slaughtering the beasts on the ground. He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Although they could foresee that things wouldn't be so simple, they didn't pour cold water on him. In fact, they couldn't help but look forward to it in their hearts.

Shi Buyu used himself as bait to lure the mermaid beast. After luring it, he drove it in the opposite direction of the lake with thunder. The mermaid beast swung its tail on the ground to avoid the thunder, and flew into the pre-dug trap along the route Shi Buyu planned.

However, they underestimated the mermaid beast's magical tail. Not only could it allow the beast to walk on land at full speed, but it could also allow the mermaid beast to "fly".

Shi Buyu and the six people who borrowed the flying camera saw the mermaid beast suddenly stand upright in midair, swinging its tail and flying into the sky.

Shi Buyu quickly spread out a domed electric net to cover the exit of the trap, and only then did he block the mermaid beast's escape.

The mermaid beast let out anxious cries and kept asking its companions for help. Unfortunately, Gou Liang had calculated the range of its sound wave in advance. While it was running for its life, it had already left the lake where the mermaid beast lived.

The mermaid beast was like a small fish trapped in a bathtub, swimming back and forth and letting out helpless cries.

Gou Liang: "Shi Xiaoyu, think of a way to make him use the attack sound wave."

Shi Buyu agreed. However, no matter how hard he tried, the mermaid beast, which had completely lost its will to resist, did not attack him. It lay at the bottom of the pit like a salted fish, unwilling to move at all. It only whimpered and begged for mercy.

"F * ck, this fish has become a spirit!"

Zhou Gao widened his eyes.

Shi Buyu said, "Yu Sen, go and catch a strange beast with Old Jiang."

Yu Sen and Jang Ren had a tacit understanding with him. They immediately understood that he wanted to use the strange beasts as bait to provoke him into attacking. Very quickly, they caught a strange beast alive. For the sake of speed, they had caught a level-one exotic beast without any special abilities. However, when Shi Buyu threw the exotic beast into the trap, they were both at peace. The mermaid exotic beast did not attack, and the exotic beast did not approach it.

Gou Liang was shocked. Was the mermaid exotic beast scared out of its wits, or was his judgment wrong?

Shi Buyu thought for a moment, then said, "Change it to a level-two exotic beast."

Catching a level-two exotic beast alive was not too difficult. It was just time-consuming. Half an hour later, they finally drove the level-two exotic beast into the trap.

This time, the mermaid exotic beast was no longer silent. Almost at the same time that the level-two exotic beast fell into the trap, it launched a sound wave attack at it.

This was a water-type exotic beast. It did not use its special ability to attack the mermaid exotic beast, but it also did not fall to the ground and be unable to move like Yu Sen and the others. Instead, it ran away vigorously.

The level-one exotic beast did not react to its attack at all. It was only when the level-two exotic beast charged at it that it ran away in fright.

The three exotic beasts in the trap were like ants on a hot pan. The level-one and level-two exotic beast ran around blindly, while the mermaid exotic beast flew in the air and waved its tail while screaming. Very soon, the ordinary exotic beast died under the attack of the level-two exotic beast's special ability. When the level-two exotic beast bit out the beast core of the ordinary exotic beast, the level-three mermaid exotic beast did not try to snatch it. Instead, it let out a shrill cry that grew louder and louder.

After the level-two exotic beast ate the beast core, it began to run away again.

Shi Buyu was speechless.

The four victims were speechless.

Gou Liang coughed and said, "The sound waves have been combined."

Shi Buyu killed the mermaid exotic beast and the level-two exotic beast without hesitation.

Zhou Gao was still a little dazed. He said in bewilderment, "Why do I feel like this mermaid exotic beast is a weakling?"

Qin Bei, who was watching from the sidelines, said, "So, this mermaid exotic beast is actually a coward?"

Its sound waves were just a bluff to drive away the other exotic beasts. It did not cause any real harm to them. If the confrontation had continued, they believed that the mermaid exotic beast would definitely have been killed by the level-two exotic beast that realized it had been tricked. Even though it was only a level-three exotic beast, its ability to escape was top-notch.

The mermaid exotic beast was very self-aware, too. As such, it only drove away the other party, and didn't overestimate itself and fight them head-on.

Gou Liang verified this point after experimenting with the synthesized sound waves.

The mermaid exotic beast's sound waves were useless against ordinary exotic beasts, and only had the effect of driving away exotic beasts with special abilities. Its range of application was limited to level-two and level-three exotic beasts.

This undoubtedly meant that the mermaid exotic beast was destined to stand at the bottom of the food chain in the beast world, barely able to protect itself.

However, it stood at the pinnacle of life when facing humans, and could almost be called a natural enemy of humans. Its sound waves were a sure-kill to ordinary humans and special ability users below level-three, and could steal the special ability users' abilities and mobility. For a level-four special ability user like Shi Buyu, his mobility would be affected even if they attacked him in groups.

Come to think of it, this was the mermaid exotic beast's first time encountering such a situation.

After that exotic beast knocked out Yu Sen and the others, it was probably even more frightened than the victims. Otherwise, it wouldn't have used its tail to slowly approach them. Instead, it would have swallowed them whole with a flick of its tail.

Yu Lin lamented, "It's not easy to survive anywhere."

Gou Liang was very disappointed when he discovered that the penetrative power of the sound waves was especially strong, and none of the methods he currently had were able to help human special ability users avoid the damage caused by the sound waves.

After toiling for so long, he actually obtained something of little value.

Shi Buyu saw Zhang Che eating the mermaid exotic beast's flesh angrily, as if venting his anger. He couldn't help but stroke Zhang Che's head and console him, "Don't be angry. No matter what, we've gotten rid of a future threat. If we encounter such things in the future, we'll have experience dealing with them."

Gou Liang could only accept such consolation.

The transition world was a very special period. The help the system could provide was limited.

During this period, the Lord God would bestow more soul power to the human race through certain methods. If the human race could withstand it, then their soul power base would reach a new level, and they would complete a certain evolution. If they couldn't withstand it … then sorry, but if they didn't have a powerful origin soul like Gou Liang, then they would be destroyed along with the world.

For example, the mission world in front of them was in the process of evolving from a level-C world to a level-B world. The Lord God's way of bestowing gifts was through exotic beasts.

All of the exotic beasts were created by the Lord God's consciousness based on the souls of the people in this world. This was also the reason why these exotic beasts were more or less similar to the creatures that humans already knew. However, these exotic beasts were all created by the Lord God on a whim. Even the Space Administration didn't have any relevant information to refer to. Gou Liang, like everyone else, was still trying to understand each and every exotic beast.

A year later.

The salty sea breeze carried a disgusting fishy smell. It was the smell of the exotic beasts, which made the originally comfortable sea breeze unbearable.

Shi Buyu, who had completed his level-5 evolution, led six Level 4 Ability Users, including Gou Liang, to the sea. Looking at the sea of ultra level-5 exotic beasts on the Ability Search screen, they still felt pressured. They soon discovered that level-5 exotic beasts were just at the bottom of the food chain. Level-6 exotic beasts were nothing. Gou Liang's energy model estimated that level-7 and above exotic beasts would soon receive feedback. Once they left the seabed, it would be the world of ultra level-6 exotic beasts.

"Damn it, are we really going to fight them?"

Zhou Gao swallowed his saliva.

"Look at you, you're scared before the battle even starts? How can our Huaxia Army have a coward like you! "

Qin Bei rolled his eyes and lectured him. Before he could finish, Yu Lin slapped him on the head. "Fight my ass, we're only here to collect information. Safety is our top priority. Don't cause trouble for the boss."

"Of course not!"

Zhou Gao and Qin Bei hurriedly said. They would never throw their lives away!

Yu Sen frowned and said, "According to Miss Tang's calculations, we'll have to face these exotic beasts sooner or later. We can avoid them for now, but if we don't take advantage of the fact that we still have the strength to fight to obtain high-grade Beast Pills and level up as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jang Ren stared at the screen with a heavy expression.

Their planet was a very good breeding ground for exotic beasts. Compared to a year ago, the number of exotic beasts had nearly doubled, and all of them were newborns.

The range of activity of the exotic beasts had also moved a little northward. The Line of Death had been pushed up from thirty degrees north latitude. Although the increase was very small, it was foreseeable that in the long run, the exotic beasts would invade Kyushu Base and invade the entire planet.

Qin Bei said, "Ah Sen, you're worrying too much. There's no point in being anxious now. Look, did the boss apply for leave to have fun with Miss Tang … uh, treatment? "

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shrugged.

— — Exotic beasts and whatnot, let's talk about that after twenty-four hours of treatment. — —

Kyushu Base.

The original hundred-man special squad of Level 2 Ability Users had expanded to a thousand-man squad, with ten of them becoming Level 3 Ability Users. This time, Lieutenant General Yao had decided to send half of them to the Death Zone to participate in actual combat and hunt for Level 2 Beast Pills.

Jia Nanzhu's face was gloomy as he watched the squad leave the base.

He had applied to his superiors for this mission many times, but he had been rejected every time.

Jia Nanzhu could no longer bear the current predicament. He urgently needed an opportunity like this to show off his abilities in front of others and gain merit, allowing him to turn the situation around.

But now, he could only look on helplessly as others took advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top, while he was left behind by another step.

Ju Bei looked at him worriedly and comforted him, "Zhu Ge, staying behind at the base isn't necessarily a bad thing. Isn't that Bao Zi also left here? "

"Don't compare me to him!"

Jia Nanzhu swatted away Ju Bei's hand, then regretted it a little.

When Ji Guangyuan was assigned to the mission outside the base, he clearly felt that Ji Guangyuan no longer respected him as much as before.

Jia Nanzhu was a person who needed to be worshipped and honored to live. Now, only Ju Bei still respected him. Although he suspected that Ju Bei would betray him one day, for now, he didn't want to distance himself from Ju Bei.

Fortunately, Ju Bei was already used to his tantrums. Seeing this, he took the initiative to hold Zhang Che's hand and said, "Zhu Ge, I said the wrong thing. Don't be angry … Just wait a little longer. Perhaps the opportunity will come soon. "

Jia Nanzhu didn't listen to his feeble consolation and nodded absentmindedly.

He didn't notice the deep meaning in Ju Bei's eyes. He looked at the sky outside Kyushu Base and thought to himself, It's almost time for the author to stop updating. That's also the time for Shi Buyu's death.

This time … can that fatty still change Shi Buyu's fate?

No, he can't.

The main characters in this world are only Zhu Ge and me. He's definitely going to die, and so is that fatty himself.

With this thought in mind, Ju Bei smiled at Jia Nanzhu and handed his public credit card to him.

Because his "superpower" dimension didn't level up after that, he tried to take a beast pill, but he quickly realized that it was ineffective for him.

A dimension that couldn't fit a beast was limited in its usefulness. Moreover, Ju Bei was a psychic with a negative combat strength and didn't have the ability to strengthen his physique. If he went out on a mission, he would be more of a burden than Zhang Che. Therefore, after arriving at Kyushu Base, Ju Bei could only be responsible for logistics work like an ordinary person who hadn't awakened his superpower.

After accumulating a certain amount of work points, ordinary people could exchange them for a beast pill. The work points that Ju Bei had accumulated over the past two years were all here, and they were enough to exchange for a level two beast pill.

And he didn't hesitate to give this beast pill to Jia Nanzhu.

"This …"

Jia Nanzhu couldn't hide the shock on his face. He didn't think that Ju Bei would go to this extent for him.

Ju Bei hid the fact that Zhang Che couldn't absorb the beast pill. Seeing that Zhang Che was moved, he smiled and said, "Zhu Ge, everything will be fine. Trust me. "

In that smile, Jia Nanzhu saw a naivety that didn't belong to the apocalypse.

And no matter how much Ju Bei in Kyushu Base hoped that Shi Buyu would die and that the plot would return to normal, Gou Liang, who also predicted the timeline, became more and more attached to Shi Buyu and didn't allow him to act alone.

After their one-day holiday, the people from Kyushu Base arrived at the death zone.

Unexpectedly, the Kyushu Base's ability user squad triggered the distress alarm on the day they arrived.

When Shi Buyu arrived with his men, they had already finished fighting a level three beast.

It turned out that the level two patrol team had accidentally intruded into the level three beast's territory, and because they were no match for it, they activated the distress alarm. The ability users from Kyushu had already arrived. Although this battle had caused many level two ability users to be injured, fortunately, no one had lost their lives.

After understanding the situation from the leader, Shi Buyu didn't plan to get involved.

Before he left, he noticed that Gou Liang kept looking at someone in the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

He had never seen Gou Liang pay so much attention to someone else.

Gou Liang tapped his forehead with his finger and smiled, "I recognize that person's voice. In the Jia Family's basement, he slapped me a dozen times and even kicked me. "

Shi Buyu's brows furrowed. He took a closer look and saw that it was Ji Guangyuan.
