At this moment,
A Source Beast pack appeared on the cluttered street at the very front of the armored convoy!
Although this Source Beast pack did not contain too many beasts, only around ten, every one of them was enormous—roughly the size of an armored vehicle capable of carrying more than a dozen Gene Warriors!
These Source Beasts were, astonishingly, all powerful Predator-class Source Beasts of the Eighth Tier or above.
The gigantic Source Beast lying in the center of the pack was a full size larger than the other armored-vehicle-sized beasts around it. Judging by its build, this beast leader had likely reached the very peak of the Eighth Tier Life Tier. It was only one step away from becoming a Tyrant-class Source Beast leader!
If there had merely been ten Predator-class Source Beasts, it would not have been enough to make the entire armored convoy halt and stand on full alert!
The crucial point was that this entire Source Beast pack consisted of the famously fearsome Predator Thorn Beasts. Each Thorn Beast was covered in a large number of sharp bone spines over a meter long, all of them purple-blue in color. Clearly, every spine carried deadly poison!
Thorn Beasts were said to have mutated from hedgehog-like animals of the peaceful era after absorbing source energy. After mutating, not only did they grow much larger than other Source Beasts, but their defense and offensive power also far surpassed ordinary Source Beasts of the same tier. With bone spines possessing astonishing penetrating force, they could almost tear through the defenses of any same-tier Source Beast and inject deadly neurotoxin into their targets, causing them to lose all ability to move in an extremely short time and become their meal!
