It was a three-headed snake with vertical pupils.

It was the first beast that had appeared to be hiding underground. Even satellite detectors had a hard time capturing it.

After everyone retreated to a safe distance, they raised their heads and saw the three-headed snake. Their expressions changed.

Zhou Gao ate a mouthful of dirt. He spat as he cursed, "Damn it, this appearance is too much!"

The three-headed snake's skin wasn't smooth. It was covered in hard black scales. It had no eyes. Only a long crocodile-like mouth could be seen on its conical head. Its teeth were extremely sharp. Of the three snake heads, only the one in the middle had a tongue. It kept sticking out its tongue, matching the crocodile-like roars of the other two snake heads.

It was obvious that they were very fierce, but the strange thing was that the three-headed snake didn't take the initiative to attack them.

"It's looking for something." Gou Liang quickly entered information on the computer as he said, "It doesn't have eyes, but there's a very special fluctuation in its voice. It's very likely that it's looking for something that can resonate with it."

"Also, this beast seems to have three beast cores. They're located at seven inches on each side of the snake's neck. Its energy transmission structure is completely different from the other beasts we've seen before!"

Gou Liang's eyes could see things that others couldn't. He didn't feel a trace of fear in the face of such a huge and ugly beast. His tone was full of excitement.

Shi Buyu hid him behind his back. He couldn't help but emphasize to Jang Ren, who had been responsible for Gou Liang's safety during the operation, "Keep an eye on him."

He was really worried that Gou Liang would get carried away and run to the beast to talk about life with it.

Jang Ren looked at Gou Liang, whose small eyes were almost shooting out light. He nodded in agreement.

Gou Liang stared at the three-headed snake. He said as he entered information, "There's also a ball of energy in the snake's stomach. I suspect that it's a pregnant mother beast. If this is true, then it's the first beast cub we've caught. Shi Xiaoyu, you guys better not kill it later! "

"Okay."

Shi Buyu was amused to see his eagerness to hunt.

At this moment, Gou Liang suddenly saw the three-headed snake's energy flow intensifying. He hurriedly shouted, "It's about to attack! Everyone, be careful!"

Shi Buyu gave Jang Ren a look that told him to protect Gou Liang. Then, he said, "Yu Sen, be on guard. Old Zhou on the left, Old Yu on the right, Old Qin on the center, and I'll be in charge of defense. Do what you can and don't force yourself."

"Yes, Major General!"

Their voices hadn't even faded away when the three-headed snake suddenly opened its bloody mouth and charged towards them, its speed as fast as lightning.

What was even more frightening was that its scales were extremely hard. Whether it was Zhou Gao's fire attack, Yu Lin's ice thorns, or Qin Bei's wind blades, they were all like scratching an itch. Not to mention piercing through its body, even its skin was scraped open.

Sharpshooter Zhou Gao was still carrying a submachine gun on his back. Seeing this, he fired a few shots, confirming their guess.

"Damn, it's actually an invincible diamond body. What the hell are you doing? Why don't you ascend to the heavens!"

"Boss, we're counting on you!"

With their current abilities, they were no match for the three-headed snake at all. Thus, they gave up on the futile physical exhaustion of their ability attacks and left the battlefield to Shi Buyu.

Shi Buyu raised his sword and charged forward. Lightning was a natural deterrent to exotic beasts. No matter how fast the three-headed snake was, it was still cut several times by Shi Buyu.

Sensing that its life was in danger, the snake in the middle suddenly let out an ear-piercing shriek.

"It's going berserk!"

As soon as Gou Liang's warning sounded, the snake in the middle suddenly spewed out lava from its mouth!

Shi Buyu immediately dodged, but something unexpected happened at this moment!

Caught off guard, the two snake heads on the left and right of the three-headed snake suddenly separated from its body and shot out, rushing towards Gou Liang, who was also caught off guard by this turn of events.

"Xiao Kener!"

Shi Buyu didn't even realize what he had shouted. Lightning flashed, and one of the snake heads was immediately turned into charcoal. However, at the same time, another snake head rushed towards Gou Liang at lightning speed!

Jang Ren immediately formed a metal shield to block it, but it was bitten through by the snake. At the same time, the third snake head also closed in on him and Gou Liang from behind!

In the nick of time, Gou Liang kicked Jang Ren away, and then dodged the two snake heads at an extremely fast speed. He shouted, "Their target is Jang Ren!"

He ran towards Yu Sen, Zhou Gao, and the others. He was so fast that before he could finish his sentence, he had already appeared beside Yu Sen, who was a thousand meters away.

"Shi Xiaoyu, don't kill the thing in its stomach!"

Shi Buyu, who had already exploded the snake heads with his lightning, stopped in time. He pierced the last snake head with his sword and dug out the beast core.

The three-headed snake's huge body fell down.

In the next second, Gou Liang was the first to appear beside Shi Buyu. The latter only felt a gust of wind blowing past his ear. When he turned around, he saw the dust that had yet to settle, accompanied by the wind blowing by Gou Liang, hit his face. Then, he heard Gou Liang urging him, "Quick, quick, quick, don't worry about the beast core. Give it a cesarean section!"

Shi Buyu, whose face was covered in dust, was speechless.

Jang Ren and the others, who were dumbfounded, were speechless.

Gou Liang, who moved as if he was flying, must be a fake fatty!

Gou Liang didn't realize that he had exposed his bad intention of pretending that he couldn't move properly so that Shi Buyu could carry him. When Shi Buyu was cutting open the strange beast's stomach, Gou Liang, who was so excited that he forgot himself, rushed back to the car at an extremely fast speed. He took out an incubator and placed the small snake strange beast that Shi Buyu had dug out into it.

The small snake was only as long as an arm and had only one head. Its body hadn't grown scales yet. After it was placed into the incubator, its originally silvery-white skin began to turn red. It curled up into a ball, as if it was in great pain.

Gou Liang looked into the mother beast's stomach. He reached out and was about to dig inside when Shi Buyu quickly blocked him.

"What do you want?"

"There must be something metal inside. Open it up and take a look."

Shi Buyu completely cut open the strange beast's stomach. Sure enough, the abdominal cavity was filled with a never-before-seen piece of metal that was the same color as its scales.

Gou Liang placed the black metal into the incubator. The strange beast cub immediately coiled itself around the square piece of metal. Its skin color returned to normal, and it looked abnormally docile.

"No wonder it wanted to eat Jang Ren. It turns out that strange beasts are quite picky eaters."

Gou Liang tapped the glass box and stood up with the strange beast cub in his arms.

Shi Buyu hurriedly took the box and handed it to Yu Sen. He reminded him, "Don't be careless." The strange beast cub wasn't necessarily harmless, so it was better to be careful.

At this time, Zhou Gao, Jang Ren, and the others finally dug out two Beast Cores after untold hardships. The two snake heads, which had been shot in the head by Shi Buyu, were still writhing on the ground for quite a while. Rocks and dust were flying everywhere, but they were still very powerful. They were finally subdued after they were covered in dust and dirt.

Shi Buyu wanted to go over to check on the situation, but Gou Liang pulled his hand. "I want to go too."

Shi Buyu quietly looked down at him for three seconds before saying, "Walk on your own!"

He wasn't naive enough to be fooled by Fatty's tortoise-like speed. It was already the end of the world, and it would be foolish to use common sense to measure people.

Wasn't there a living example in front of him?

Gou Liang pushed up his dusty glasses, grabbed his sleeve, and looked up at him without saying a word.

Shi Buyu: "…"

He angrily patted Gou Liang's butt and carefully carried him on his back. "If you dare to lie to me again, you're not allowed to touch me for three days."

"No!"

Gou Liang immediately hugged his neck and protested.

"I have to do it even if I can't." Shi Buyu pushed the sweet burden up and pinched his butt threateningly. "Tell me, do you still dare to do it?"

"… Oh."

"Oh?"

"I don't dare anymore, really."

Shi Buyu smiled. "If you want something, just tell me. You don't have to play tricks with me, okay?"

"Okay!"

Gou Liang happily kissed his ear.

Yu Lin and the others looked at the sky speechlessly. Boss, where are your principles?

Qin Bei put the beast core into a vacuum box and used his wind ability to disperse the dust in the air. He pinched his nose and said, "Miss Tang, what the hell is this? How can its head be separated from its body?!"

The scene just now was too unexpected!

If it weren't for Shi Buyu's heaven-defying ability and Gou Liang's quick reaction, Jang Ren and Gou Liang would've died here.

Gou Liang, who was put down, said, "According to my guess, this beast isn't a three-headed snake, but three connected snake-like beasts. We still have to see the specific situation."

After everyone rested for a while, they started to peel off the snake-like beast's scales. The metal could even resist abilities, so it was an excellent defensive material. Naturally, they couldn't waste it.

Later, Shi Buyu and the others took out all the black metal from the mother snake-like beast's stomach under Gou Liang's command. Then, they removed the blood vessels and separated the meat.

Gou Liang carefully compared the scales and the metal pieces and exclaimed, "The composition of the metal and the scales are exactly the same."

"If I'm not wrong, these three beasts should be in a mating relationship with two males and one female."

"Look here. The place where the three snakes are connected should be the female snake's reproductive cavity. These metal pieces are formed from the scales on the lower half of the male snake's body. The high-temperature, acidic, magma-like liquid that the female snake sprayed at Shi Xiaoyu was some kind of secretion from her. She used it to melt these scales and solidify them into cubes of metal. It's a kind of metal material that her young needs to survive. "

"Holy shit, this female snake is too good! Not only is she enjoying the blessings of having multiple partners, but when this beast's young is born, these two male snakes definitely won't be able to survive. "Zhou Gao clicked his tongue." As expected, a woman's heart is the most poisonous. "

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Bei scolded Zhou Gao, who was making a fuss over nothing. "In the animal kingdom, it's common for females to eat males alive in order to give birth. What's so strange about that? Besides, the female snake sacrificed a lot, okay? Good heavens, everything below the waist is a big dick, and it even has such hard scales. Getting it in there … it's really amazing. "

Yu Sen, who was shocked by the bloody scene he described, said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, we humans don't do this kind of thing."

Shi Buyu laughed and said, "You guys don't even have a partner to give birth to your babies. You're really worried about the long term."

Yu Lin, who had been inexplicably poked at, snorted. "That's right, you three. Boss isn't worried, so why are you guys worried?"

Zhou Gao said, "Boss is the best. He doesn't even have to worry about this problem."

"How do you know? What kind of world is it now? Even supernatural abilities exist. Who knows when men will be able to give birth to babies. "

Before Yu Lin could finish speaking, Shi Buyu kicked her. "If you want to give birth to a baby, then give birth to one yourself. I won't let my Miss Tang suffer like this."

Gou Liang pushed up his glasses and held back his laughter. "I remember that we're not talking about whether men can give birth to babies or not."

Everyone paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

*

After sharing the information about the vertical-pupiled snake with Kyushu Base, Gou Liang said that he would keep the cub by his side and observe it for a while before sending it back to the base.

The researchers, who had no concept of the growth of an exotic beast cub, were naturally happy to see this happen.

Gou Liang's group of seven headed south once more. Although they encountered some exotic beasts that weren't recorded in Kyushu's database, they didn't encounter any more snake-like exotic beasts. It was very peaceful.

Meanwhile, Gou Liang, who claimed to be the team's technical director, was forcefully added into the list of daily training sessions by Shi Buyu after revealing his powerful physique, which was "as fast as flying" and "as strong as an ox".

Although Shi Buyu didn't say anything about the accident where Gou Liang was attacked by a snake-like exotic beast, he was very concerned about it.

He realized that no matter how strong his abilities were, there would always be many unexpected and uncontrollable situations that happened in a moment of life and death. Moreover, their current understanding of exotic beasts was only the tip of the iceberg. Who could guarantee that Gou Liang would be able to dodge it so coincidentally the next time an accident happened?

Gou Liang's awakened ability didn't have any killing power, but it was essential for him to have life-saving methods and the cultivation and training of his combat awareness.

As such, Shi Buyu didn't hold back and trained Gou Liang even more harshly than the self-disciplined Yu Sen and the others.

For example, at this moment, Gou Liang was running for his life under the sharp claws of the black eagle.

Zhou Gao and the others, who had already finished their training, were gulping down soup and eating meat. They stood on the roof of the car and watched as Gou Liang's fat body narrowly dodged the sharp claws that were as sharp as blades.

They had seen many such soul-stirring scenes, so it wasn't as shocking as it was at the beginning.

"Boss is really too harsh on Miss Tang."

Qin Bei took a bite of the crispy roasted exotic beast meat and watched Gou Liang's life and death performance as he ate. He said, "You guys, look at it. Miss Tang has to develop all kinds of programs and gather data. She also has to cook for us and participate in training. How pitiful."

"That's right. Boss really doesn't know how to dote on his wife."

Zhou Gao said, "He can't order his wife around like that. Moreover, they aren't even married yet. She works so hard during the day, and when Boss is in the mood at night, Miss Tang still has to serve him. Tsk tsk, Boss is really too heartless. "

Even the quiet Jang Ren nodded and said, "En."

Yu Sen said seriously, "Don't say that. Captain doesn't have it easy either."

"Hahaha." Yu Lin was so amused that he was convulsing with laughter. "Aiyo, my silly little brother! Can't you smell the sour smell coming from a group of single dogs? These people only dare to open their mouths when Boss is completely focused on Teacher Tang and can't hear their nonsense. A bunch of cowards. "

Zhou Gao snorted and disagreed. "You say it as if you have the guts to say it in front of Boss."

"I don't have the guts, but I'm not jealous either."

Yu Lin shrugged and said, "I used to think that although I retired, I was still a soldier king. I wore a lieutenant colonel medal and received a million yuan annual salary from Boss's family. I could be considered a social elite, right? But why can't I find a wife? Now that I think about it, it's fortunate that I had high standards back then. Otherwise, if I had a family to feed, I don't know if I could handle the situation. "

Before the apocalypse, they carried out high-risk missions and wandered the gray area that ordinary people couldn't imagine. Even after leaving the army and receiving counseling for many years, they still couldn't completely integrate into the ordinary life and couldn't open their hearts to people other than their comrades.

Thus, no matter if it was him or Zhou Gao, they were both over forty years old men, yet they were still single.

But to be honest, compared to a peaceful nine to five life, they adapted much better in the apocalypse.

When this topic was brought up, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Fortunately, Shi Buyu dealt with the Black Hawk in a short while and returned with the soaked Gou Liang in his arms.

Jang Ren consciously got up to clean up the Black Hawk's corpse. Gou Liang was placed in his personal seat. He hugged his pacifier and sucked on the warm water, his eyes fixed on the exotic beast meat on the table.

Shi Buyu couldn't help but laugh. He didn't care about his own mouthful and hurriedly cut off the most tender part of the meat for Gou Liang. He cut it into small pieces and fed it to Gou Liang after replenishing his water.

Yu Lin said, "Boss, Miss Tang seems to have lost a lot of weight. It's not a good thing to suddenly lose weight. We have to take it easy. "

"That's right." Zhou Gao blurted out thoughtlessly, "Although Miss Tang can't move freely on the bed like this, Boss, you can't be so impatient … Uh, no, I'm not saying that Boss despises you, Miss Tang. Believe me, that's not what I meant!"

Zhou Gao, who was being stared at by five pairs of eyes, suddenly realized what he had said and hurriedly tried to mend it.

Unfortunately, Gou Liang didn't believe him at all.

He bit his pacifier and silently turned his head to look at Shi Buyu.

Shi Buyu immediately used his actions to prove his sincerity, "Come, Miss Tang, let's eat more. You're the best like this. I really like your precious meat. Don't lose any more meat. My heart aches when I see it. "

Gou Liang took a bite of the meat. After he finished eating, Shi Buyu eagerly fed him a second one, showing that he definitely didn't have any other intentions.

Gou Liang ate three mouthfuls of the exotic beast meat before he said somewhat sluggishly, "He said that I can't move freely on the bed. What did he mean?"

"Uh …"

Shi Buyu was stumped by the question. Looking at his honest expression, he really couldn't explain this kind of question to him.

However, Gou Liang pushed up his glasses and said, "According to my calculations, with your arm strength, waist strength, leg length, and size, even if my body was twice as big, you would still be able to move freely on the bed. So, does it matter if I can't move freely? "

Shi Buyu, "Eh??"

Everyone, "!!!"

Jiang Ren, who was walking back with the Black Eagle, thought to himself, '… I was only gone for a short while. What kind of rubbish did these single dogs, whose brains are filled with dirty trash, inject into the pure and upright Teacher Tang?!

However, no matter how much Shi Buyu fed Gou Liang, who was soft and white and fat, under the high-intensity training, Gou Liang still quickly lost weight — from the point where his facial features couldn't be seen clearly to the point where his facial features could be vaguely seen.

Qin Bei said, "I heard that every fat person has potential. Based on this, Boss has made a fortune. "

Zhou Gao, who didn't learn his lesson, said bluntly, "Isn't it too early to say that? I think the appearance of the old Tang family … Maybe Miss Tang looks better when she's fat. "

Everyone looked at him silently, "Old Zhou, can your mouth be any more wicked?"

Although Zhou Gao's mouth was quick, what he said was true.

No matter how many young and beautiful Mrs. Tang the Tang family married, the genes of the Tang family were too strong, and the men of the Tang family all had average looks.

After Gou Liang made a model of the original 'Host's' slimmed down appearance, he decisively gave up on the original 'Host's' original appearance and entered his own appearance data into the upgraded 'Host's Face' tool.

He said to the system, "If it dares to secretly give me a discount like it did when I was taller, I'll slit my own throat! Mission or not, let's meet again in the next world! "

System, "Oh."

The 'Host's Face' program had been launched a long time ago. With Gou Liang's current amount of exercise, it was estimated that he would be able to return to his original handsome self in a year's time.

However, what they didn't expect was that surprises always came out of nowhere.

On this day, when Gou Liang squeezed heart-shaped sweet and spicy sauce onto the beast core and fed it to Shi Buyu, Yu Sen suddenly fell off the stool without warning.

Yu Lin quickly caught him, "Miss Tang, my brother, he …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he also fell.

Gou Liang pulled on Shi Buyu and said, "It's okay, they're about to level up. It might take 24 hours."

The others let out a sigh of relief and carried the two brothers back to their beds. They also began to crazily eat beast cores and began to level up.

In order to observe them, Gou Liang didn't continue to eat beast cores.

Compared to the first time, leveling up a rank 2 ability took half the time, only 12 hours. However, the process was many times more painful than the first time — — their bodies were tempered during the leveling up process, and their bones and body's flaws were all purified and strengthened by their soul power.

This was especially true for Zhou Gao and Yu Lin, who had been discharged from the military due to their injuries. The two of them suffered much more than the other three during the leveling up process.

When they woke up, although there wasn't much of a difference in their appearance, the subtle changes made their physiques completely different from before.

Thus, Gou Liang, who had carelessly eaten three beast cores, also lay down.

[Xiao Si, get to work!]

If he didn't do plastic surgery now, when would he?!

Thus, when Gou Liang woke up at the sixteenth hour — —

He raised his white and delicate oval face, his straight nose, his sexy lips, and his peach blossom eyes, which were even more blurred because of the confusion he felt when he first woke up, had a fatal charm.

When his gaze fell on Shi Buyu, he smiled slightly, revealing a pair of cute dimples at the corner of his mouth.

[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 98!]

Gou Liang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled shyly. The expression that often appeared on Fatty Gou's face was magnified countless times at this moment. This appearance had a familiar naivety, but it was also filled with a strange beauty. His sweet dimples were still acting like the owner of the situation was confused, and he said in a soft and dazed voice, "Shi Xiaoyu, I seem to have become smaller."

Fatty Gou's oversized clothes were loose, and the round collar that was originally around Fatty Gou turned into a V-neck collar when he sat up. Shi Buyu swallowed his saliva and hurriedly drove the unrelated people away.

Yu Sen and the others were so shocked that they were floating while walking. When they walked out, they said in a very familiar and straightforward tone, "Look, did my butt become smaller too?" Gou Liang said.

Shi Buyu said in a hoarse voice, "… No."

"That's good."

Gou Liang smiled slightly, and his cheating dimples were once again exposed in front of Shi Buyu's eyes.
